29AN2205 MAN IN BLACK
While is no longer a new kid on the block, the excitement towards MAN IN BLACK’s progeny continues for beef producers around the country—people really like them! People who have used this top Angus bull really appreciate the cattle for their growth and the stretch, length, and frame they possess. Their overall depth, body, length of side, and quarter they offer are what producers value in the cattle. MAN IN BLACK is a top Angus bull that wraps up versatility, phenotype, and pounds in a solid package.
29AN2261 REALITY
Cattle producers have admired this next top Angus bull for the phenotype he stamps his progeny with. REALITY sons were sire groups that did very well throughout the Montana sale season last year. The cattle offer a lot of power, width, and dimension and also come with a pretty complete EPD profile. Coming from the Woodhill program, you can trust what the bull will do because of the history and integrity that he is backed by. REALITY progeny just have a look about them that you notice when they come into the pen.
29AR0291 STOCKYARD
Producers have appreciated STOCKYARD, a top Red Angus bull in the ABS lineup, for his versatility. Studying his phenotype, you like his natural thickness and he catches your eye. Reports of his use on heifers have been very positive with birth weights in the high 70s to low 80s. Being +20 CED, some might wonder if his progeny would have enough performance and growth, but the consensus from those who used him on cows is they followed his growth, muscling, and marbling. The phenotype and carcass traits in STOCKYARD progeny complement each other well.
29AR0292 CONFIDENT
Compared to STOCKYARD, the CONFIDENT cattle will have a little more frame, growth, and stretch in them. CONFIDENT sons are ones that you read with dimension, length, and thickness, and who possess the growth you like to see. His awesome EPD profile and fresh pedigree in the Red Angus breed give you breeding flexibility. CONFIDENT brings you outcross genetics with outstanding style and performance.
