Spring beef breeding season is almost upon us. For most, you are about to make your breeding decisions for next year’s calf crop, if you haven’t already. Those genetic selections should help you reach your goals and contribute to your success and profitability. Our mission is to provide you with the genetics, technology, and tools you need to MAKE MATINGS WITH INTENT.
Your peers can often provide the most valuable input on what sires to consider and how their progeny are performing in their herds. For this reason, we’ve put together a list of progeny reports that we’ve heard regarding some of the bulls in our lineup. Hopefully, this will help you make your genetic decisions for your next breeding season. Today, we will highlight three top Angus sires, INSTITUTION, SECURITY, and HOLLIDAY, who we believe are underutilized sires in our lineup .
29AN2278 INSTITUTION
The first top Angus bull we will highlight is INSTITUTION. This is a bull that ABS Sire Acquisition Manager, Ben Lohmann, says he wasn’t prepared for how impressive this Calving Ease bull was going to be when he laid eyes on him—how stout and how good he was. INSTITUTION stands on a good foot and has the look of a herd bull. He is a bull that mirrors his sire but with more to him and more performance. He is siring progeny that are very desirable in terms of quality. He’s the INSTITUTION of genetic strength and tradition.
29AN2279 SECURITY
SECURITY, a three-quarter brother to INSTITUTION, is on our next top Angus bull to discuss. While closely related, they are different. Both are sound-structured and sound-footed, and will make good cows, however, the difference lies in Calving Ease and performance. For SECURITY, you will give up a little Calving Ease, but you will get more growth, performance, stretch, and frame. If you are looking to create cattle that offer extra skeleton, growth, and performance, you will like the SECURITY-sired cattle. Secure your future cowherd with SECURITY.
29AN2277 HOLLIDAY
Our final top Angus bull is HOLLIDAY, who Ben calls an honest beef bull with a lot of presence, dimension, shape, and power. You will not be disappointed in the cattle he sires. While he is a bull you want to protect a bit in terms of breeding virgin heifers to him, he is a bull that will deliver performance and pounds. HOLLIDAY offers an impeccable set of quality and balance type EPDs and ranks in the top end of the breed for Feet, Marbling, $Maternal, $Beef, and $Combined. HOLLIDAY, he’s big time!
