2015 SimGenetics Semen Guide
2015 Allied Semen and Genetics Thank you for taking the time to check out the 4th annual semen directory from all of us at Allied. As always, the list of breeder owners and genetic improving bulls is strong, but if you look closely you will notice some changes in this year’s book. For one thing, there is turn over in the bulls. Only the bulls that generate positive progeny proofs and producer interest remain in this book from year to year. In addition we strive each year to offer more new and exciting options for breeders and commercial clientele than any other source of SimGenetics. Subsequently, as you look through the pages of bulls still listed from previous guides you will see much higher levels of accuracy and more substantiation of value. Among the new, young sire prospects you will find fresh pedigrees and data worthy of sampling to make optimum trait progress for future generations. As our book is coming out early this year we plan to follow up with a young sire mailing later in the spring to highlight some of the new and high potential young sires that enter the market this spring. Another new feature this year is the introduction of a highly selected group of Brangus sires. Heat adapted genetics are a crucial contributor to the US beef industry and effect more than 1/3 of all cattle raised here. Having value based options for producers who need those breed combinations to be profitable in the business is crucial if you plan to service the larger beef business. The Brangus options we are offering this year are among the best available anywhere in the world and we are proud to find partners that can help us move those offerings forward. Check out too our Angus and Red Angus bulls available. Though small in number the quality and value is among the best and this will definitely be a growing part of our business moving forward. Profit enhancing, commercially focused genetics are and always will be our focus at Allied. You will only find bulls in this book that generate value for producers who participate in the larger beef business from conception to consumption. Thanks again to our partners at ORIgen in Billings, Montana for the service and support of our genetics and semen marketing program. Their “breeder to breeder” philosophy fits so well with our own at Allied, where seedstock suppliers and their genetics customer success are our first priorities.

PROVEN TO IMPROVE ALMOST EVERYTHING! Just try to find a bull with a more powerful set of EPDs across the board than Xavier. When you search for his levels of calving ease, yearling performance, maternal weaning weight, marbling and ribeye genetics in combination, you will only find one in the database, Zavier himself. He is absolutely bred to make everyone in the beef chain more profitable. Xavier progeny are sound, attractive, muscular and absolutely eye appealing. He currently ranks in the top 5% or better of SimAngus hybrids in 10 EPD categories and is in the top 30% for all of the rest of them but Back Fat. Xavier is by the calving ease specialist MCC Daybreak and is out of the unquestioned queen of bull producers at Tom’s, Hooks Patti 3P. She currently has sons being used by breeders in 10 states. The distinguished list includes Hooks Admiral 33A, Hooks Zest 36Z, Hooks Cornerstone 5U and Hooks Final Analysis 7U and most of the top sellers for Tom in his 2014 bull sale out of United and Protégé. Use Xavier to get it all. YW

Nightride is proving to be the outcross answer to improved genetics. With no Legacy at all in his pedigree, Nightride is nearly a total outcross to most of today’s leading pedigrees like Shear Force, Legacy and Dream On. 225Z’s first calves are being marketed this spring and he is living up to expectation and much more! These calves are born small, grow even faster than predicted and are blessed with volume, thickness, great disposition along with the impressive structure that Nightride himself possessed. Those looking for big time genetic improvement with no holes type and genetic profile, he does it as well as any bull available. We hear too often that a calving ease, maternal bull with fabulous carcass value can’t be made without sacrificing volume and keeping quality. Nightride is living proof those old wives tales are dead wrong. Genetically he offers improvement for nearly every trait especially the Calving Ease complex, all maternal components of value and both Marbling and REA. That is what drives his profit indexes to near the top of the evaluation for improvement of profit! Use Nightride to make moderate, practical daughters with advanced value for almost every situation. 225Z has been used with great results on heifers, but offers the kind of across the board improvement to warrant consideration for the whole cow herd.

TERRIFIC CALVING EASE WITH EXTRA SIZE AND CLEAN, EYE-CATCHING PHENOTYPE. Calving ease and marbling with beautiful daughters. Few bulls with Nationals level of calving ease can boast more than +100 for yearling weight and top 1% Marbling EPD. Depth of body, wonderful structure, a clean attractive profile and great disposition are just a few of the obvious first traits you’ll notice with National calves. He obviously has been used very successfully on heifers, but is not a typical heifer bull when you evaluate his frame size and performance. Mr. National has been tested DD free and offers phenomenal end product value in addition to his spread. His dam too has earned her way into the donor pen these days because of her amazing production and powerhouse look. She currently has 7 natural calves averaging 104 at weaning and 105 at a year and her 2 bull calves put up an average ratio of 138 for IMF. A direct daughter of US Premium Beef, she is as deep, stout and broody as you can make one. National will absolutely change your mind about having it all. BW

PROVING TO BE A BULL EVERYONE SHOULD BE USING! Before we get into the fact that Makers Mark was the top selling and physically most imposing and striking bull of the Triangle J 2012 bull sale, let’s talk about his potential to make great cows. His dam is TJ Jezebel 53J. If that name doesn’t ring a bell, look her record up in the ASA database (2054358). She has 10 natural calf records with average ratios as follows, Birth Weight 102, Weaning Weight 110 and Yearling Weight 111. To go with that she currently has 46 embryo calves reported and is a full sister to the great TJ 57J the Gambler. Combining her prowess with SAV Bismarck will just add to the maternal potential as his daughters are respected across the country. There is more good news in the data. Progeny proofs are now pouring in and genetically Makers Mark ranks in the top 1% for Weaning and Yearling performance, Maternal Weaning Weight, REA, Carcass Weight and TI. So Makers Mark just might be your best choice to make serious progress for maternal and end product traits while breeding cattle you like to look at too. 215Y is homozygous black and homozygous polled.

EVERY CALF IS GOOD. EVERY SINGLE ONE! Consistency would be a great way to start the description of Entrepreneur’s calves. One after another they come to the top for performance, structure, muscling, volume and overall quality. The frame size and disposition too is uniform and nearly ideal on the big testicled sons of 1227 that will be offered for the first time in 2015. Entrepreneur’s famous father has left the breed with many wonderful daughters, but using him today with his current rankings for calving ease and marbling probably just isn’t practical. This Tanker son is different and unique! He offers top 10% SimAngus genetics for light birth weight calves and top 20% EPD value for improved marbling. His API dollar index too is in the top 15% of bulls available and has gone up each of the last two genetic evaluations. Physically it is hard to find a bull with any more ideal structure and soundness than Entrepreneur that has his muscling and strength. Use Entrepreneur to generate large numbers of uniform progeny with consistent value and marketability. BW

Too often these days a bull with a pretty picture is no more than that. Spartan’s ideal phenotype is difficult to capture even on film. No need for enhancement here, his rib carries down soft and wide front to rear, his top is square and level, his rump and hind leg set is superb and in terms of balance and front end quality you just have a hard time wanting him to be any better. He has no holes genetically either. Genotypically, Spartan ranks in the top 20% of all SimAngus for the 13 most crucial value EPD categories including those predicting calving ease, growth performance, maternal and terminal value traits. That big time spread yields API and TI values in the top 3% of the breed. Just like the CCR Gravity and CCR Wide Load bulls he was a feature of the 2014 Cow Camp bull sale and just like them he is out of “Apple” (CCR MS Apple 9332W). She is a great cow and Spartan looks to be a great SimAngus bull. His sire CCR Catalyst was as good a Final Answer son as you will ever find with a remarkable performance proof. Catalyst has been found to be a DD carrier and will no longer find significant use. Take advantage of Spartan’s tested DDFree status to use the value genetics of Catalyst moving forward.

SLEEP ALL NIGHT CALVING EASE WITH TOP 1% BW EPD. Slam Dunk calving ease sire with top 5% All Purpose Profit genetics. Zephyr has now been used very successfully on heifers and at -5.0 his BW EPD is still improving. Vigor too on the Zephyr calves has been exceptional making him a tremendous choice and asset for use on virgin heifers of any kind. With DJ Analyst, Leachman Lucky Buck and 1407 in the pedigree, he offers an outcross to many of today’s calving ease, Shear Force based SimAngus genetics and he promises improvement for marbling and muscle as well. Smooth, attractive, clean made and sound 105Z is the answer to your question about what to use on your heifers this year and next. Years ago commercial producers used to have to use Angus bulls on their heifers to guarantee a successful spring, those days are over thanks to bulls like Zephyr. 105Z is tested free of known genetic defects and is also homozygous black and homozygous polled.

GW PREMIER 734Y Homozygous Black, Homozygous Polled || 5/8 SM 3/8 AN ASA# 2606048 DOB: 2/22/2011 Tattoo: 734Y
BIG TIME CALVING EASE WITH STRIKING LOOK AND QUALITY. Premier has proven to be a great choice for large scale heifer breeding projects that desire safe, comfortable calving ease and a little extra performance from hybrid vigor. His deep Gateway bloodline is completely free of Shear Force and Legacy, making him an outcross to a wide range of the Simmental and SimAngus pedigrees. His first progeny are smaller frame with added muscle and volume, in a very attractive package. Athletic and easy on the eyes, use Premier to do everything you might not expect from your heifer bull!

THE DOMINANT SIMANGUS SIRE OF 2014. UNREAL PERFORMANCE AND KIND. United is a phenomenon! His combination of raw growth and imposing phenotype makes him a true profit producer. The #3 ranking active SimAngus sire for Yearling EPD and the #6 overall active SimAngus for $TI, these cattle have another gear when it comes to postweaning growth. This weight however does not come with excess frame or birth weight. United sires right sized, powerfully muscled offspring with exceptional depth of rib and volume and he maintains a CE EPD in the top 1/3 of SimAngus sires. Feet too are big and solid with excellent set to pastern and flex. When it comes to siring cattle that are easy on the eyes, United gets that done too like few others! Deep, smooth, attractive progeny with plenty of bone are what you can expect and their balance and marketability is outstanding. His first daughters are just now coming into production and the expectation they are creating with all that volume and broodiness is high. Look for United to be one of the most heavily used SimAngus sires in 2015 and beyond.

S D S ALUMNI 115X Homozygous Black, Homozygous Polled || 1/2 SM 1/2 AN ASA# 2548149 DOB: 3/27/2010 Tattoo: 115X
ALL AROUND GENETIC IMPROVEMENT WITH PHENOMENAL DAUGHTERS. Alumni is one of those very unique sires that continues to improve on EPD & Index Values as he gathers more progeny data & higher accuracy. Ranking literally off the charts in the elite high 1% of the breed for Marb, REA, & Tenderness, he offers an immense amount of end product value, something far too often overlooked in our industry. Very few SimAngus bulls can match the overall EPD & Index package of Alumni while reducing frame size and delivering such customer acceptance. The Alumni sire group of sons averaged $7,969 in the 2014 Gibbs Farms Bull Sale and many comments were made about how uniform the entire sire group was. The oldest Alumni daughters went into production this past year and have earned the reputation of being smaller frame, high volume females with very nice eye appeal, tight, well attached udders, and small teats.

TNT FINALE W241 Homozygous Black, Homozygous Polled || 1/2 SM 1/2 AN ASA# 2524763 DOB: 3/3/2009 Tattoo: W241
ONE OF THE BEST COMMERCIAL FEMALE SIRES ANYWHERE. In all things balance. This phrase describes TNT Finale and his genetic impact so well. Finale calves are born easily, put up solid weights at weaning, grow fast and efficiently and then offer advancement in end product value to boot! He does just about everything well. Finale has been used all across the country to make great females and is particularly well respected for his ability to sire easy keeping, extremely sound, moderate framed heifers that make ranchers very happy. They are the kind that can survive in almost conditions and should stay in production well past their 10th or 12th birthday like profitable crossbred cows do. He is sired by the Angus mainstay SAV Final Answer and his dam R77 is one of the most renowned and best producing purebred Simmental females of the past 20 years.

LRS CROSSROADS 875Y Homozygous Black, Homozygous Polled || 1/2 SM 1/2 AN ASA# 2623348 DOB: 3/10/2011 Tattoo: 875Y
SIRES DEEP, THICK, FAST GROWING BULLS COMMERCIAL PRODUCERS LOVE! A true performance bull with massive volume and ideal structural soundness. A son of the immortal G A R Predestined and tracing back to Lassle’s 521R Preferred Beef donor, 875Y brings forward a rare combination of maternal and terminal values. It would be easy just to look at the +84 for Weaning EPD, +142 for Yearling EPD and +.75 for Marbling and say that Crossroads is a slam dunk terminal bull and he does rank in the top 2% of all SimAngus for $TI. The other side of the equation however is his maternal promise. His dam has already posted an average weaning ratio of 108 on 5 calves and the extra volume, structural soundness and fleshing ability that 875Y offers would be a great addition to any cow herd. Crossroad bull calves will be among the features of the 2015 Advanced Beef Genetics sale and will no doubt be favorites of the commercial customers there who want powerful bulls with extra rib. 875Y is homozygous black and homozygous polled.

TJ POWER GRID 363Y Heterozygous Black, Homozygous Polled || 1/2 SM 1/2 AN ASA# 2630928 DOB: 2/14/2011 Tattoo: 363Y
POWER BULL WITH EXTRA GROWTH AND PROVEN VALUABLE TYPE. Power is the name, and more importantly in the bull! Power Grid sires top of the line growth, muscling, rib and volume with marbling genetics in the top 5% of all SimAngus. They were the absolute standout group of black bulls at the 2014 Dakota Express Sale in Bismarck and will be again in 2015. 363Y does carry the red gene and thus offers a great outcross opportunity for use in any primarily red focused herd or for that matter is different genetics for most herds with predominantly black cows (SAV Net Worth x ES Killowatt x MR Beef). This great maternal pedigree features his ES Kilowatt dam with 5 calves reported at weaning average ratio 110 and 4 calves at 111 for yearling weight (110 IMF, 103 REA). The grand dam has 7 @112 for weaning and 6@113 for yearling (108 IMF, 113 REA). That is the definition of a valuable cow family. If you need to make them stouter, sounder and better, he is a great outcross option. The semen price on Power Grid for 2015 is $25. WW

LRS RANGE BOSS 901Z Homozygous Black, Homozygous Polled || 1/2 SM 1/2 AN ASA# 2696837 DOB: 3/16/2012 Tattoo: 901Z
BRED TO MAKE EASY KEEPING RANGE CATTLE THAT THRIVE IN ALMOST ANY SITUATION. Range Boss is living up to expectations and then some. As predicted he is adding thickness, mass, rib and volume to every calf he sires. In fact his first calf data has moved him into the top 1% for Weaning Weight EPD and all that weight comes without added frame. Designed and purchased to make easy keeping, range ready females that can survive in any situation, he is made like few other SimAngus bulls available. Since these daughters are going to have to be very sound for tough conditions, his feet and soundness are nearly ideal. A favorite among sale goers at the 2013 Lassle Simmental sale he is sired by the outcross Koch LC Monte and out of a Final Answer x Morgan’s Direction cow. Range Boss is homozygous black, homozygous polled and free of known genetic defects. Use Range Boss to make wider based, bigger ribbed Sim-influenced cattle that will stay in the herd but won’t eat you out of house and home. BW

GIBBS 0617XHY ULTRASOUND Homozygous Black, Homozygous Polled || 3/8 SM 5/8 AN ASA# 2598594 DOB: 9/5/2010 Tattoo: 0617X
#1 ACTIVE SIMANGUS SIRE FOR MARBLING! Many of the high growth, high REA bulls fall short on IMF and ULTRASOUND can offer increased performance along with off the charts marbling in a super fancy looking package. His daughters have been the high selling fall yearling heifers each of the past two years in the Gibbs Farms Bull & Replacement Female Sale. The high marbling and performance translates into an extremely high TI, yet Ultrasound still ranks in the top 10% of the breed for API. Ultrasound also offers a couple other very unique opportunities. Many of today’s popular SimAngus bulls are actually 5/8 SM and ULTRASOUND is 3/8, making him a good choice for use on 5/8 SM females if 1/2 SM is desired. Also, most importantly, he is siring a high percentage of his progeny white faced, a trait very much in demand today. He is solid black himself, but is backed by a blaze-face dam & grand-dam, both of which offer very interesting outcross genetics. DIRECT

HOOKS ADMIRAL 33A Homozygous Black, Homozygous Polled || 1/2 SM 1/2 AN ASA# 2716194 DOB: 2/25/2013 Tattoo: 33A
BRED TO IMPROVE FEED EFFICIENCY AND PERFORMANCE. Admiral was one of the high selling bulls from the 2014 Hook Farms Bull Sale and Tom Hook’s comments in the sale catalog describes this great young sire perfectly, “Admiral’s gentle disposition, soft structure, and sound hoof quality complement his premier genetic balance. Soggy and sound best describes this Protégé sired standout”. Admiral is a true “spread” bull ranking in the top 1% of the breed for yearling growth and REA EPD, placing him off the charts for TI. He offers a little different top side pedigree along with a highly proven cow family bottom side.

CLRS ARIAT 876 A Homozygous Black, Homozygous Polled || 5/8 SM 3/8 AN ASA# 2735693 DOB: 3/1/2013 Tattoo: CLRS 876A
BIG GROWTH UNITED SON WITH DOMINANT PHENOTYPE. Ariat was the lot #1 bull at the 2014 Clear Springs inaugural bull sale and along with the other high selling sons of the Hook’s Xcellence 87X donor, had a lot of fans. Phenotypically, 876A is nearly untouchable for quality. He absolutely offers a powerhouse combination of depth, thickness and structure with an awesome profile and front end. One of the greatest values of SimAngus is the ability to combine the highest quality genetics from the two most proven databases and profit driven breeds available into a complete package of value. SAV Bismarck, SAV Final Answer and Mytty In Focus is a formidable combination of genetics on the Angus side with some of the best maternal genetics the Simmental breed has to offer with Shear Force, Pacesetter and Hummer on the Continental side. Ariat too is designed to promote growth ranking solidly in the top 3% of all SimAngus bulls for weaning and the top 2% for yearling weight genetics and should deliver moderation of frame even with the extra pay-weight he promises to generate.

TJ COWBOY’S CHOICE 420B Homozygous Black, Homozygous Polled || 1/2 SM 1/2 AN ASA# 2891113 DOB: 1/28/2014 Tattoo: 420B
COWBOY CUT SON WITH MASSIVE DEPTH AND VOLUME. HE’LL MAKE BETTER CATTLE. New for this spring and fresh from the pace setting 2015 Triangle J Sale TJ - has arrived as you first chance to use a powerhouse SimAngus son of the popular all around sire CCR Cowboy Cut. 420B was a crowd favorite and second top seller because he combined incredible depth of body, spring of rib and natural muscle dimension with a wonderful profile and the kind of sound structure the Cowboy Cuts are becoming famous for. In addition his individual performance raised a lot of attention too ratioing 121 at Weaning, 118 for Yearling Weight and scanning 107 for IMF and 118 for Ribeye Area. His deep sided high producing young Traveler 004 dam already has 4 calves at 115 for Weaning and is destined to be heard a lot more from in the future. Use 420B to add valuable weight (top 2% for WW EPD) to your next calf crop and leave you with high producing (MWW EPD top 1%), functionally designed daughters. WW

W/C LOCKED UP 2101B Homozygous Black, Homozygous Polled || 1/2 SM 1/2 AN ASA# 2900378 DOB: 3/4/2014 Tattoo: 2101B
LOCK AND LOAD SON THAT IS EASY ON THE EYES AND MIGHT BE EVEN BETTER ON THE GRID. Locked Up 2101B brings all of the valuable phenotype that Remington Lock and Load consistently offers with added genetic values for calving ease, birth weight, milk and an impressive improvement for marbling genetics! Deep sided, sound structured and easy fleshing, he brings a softer look along with a big correct foot. He is just a flat good one whether you evaluate him on the profile or the see the width and thickness he has end to end. From a performance perspective he started life at 82 pounds to ratio 106 then gained 4.4 pounds a day on test to make a ratio of 104 at yearling. 2101B then dominated his sire group for IMF posting an impressive ratio of 145 to move him into the top 10% of all SimAngus bulls for Marbling EPD (#2 among all Remington Lock and Load sons) to go with his top 10% ranking for Rib Eye EPD. When all of the important traits are tallied, his dollar value profit index rank him as the number 2 son of Lock and Load for $TI and the number 3 ranking son for $API. BW

$50,000 TOP SELLER AT 2015 TRIANGLE J SALE AND WORTH IT! You won’t find a SimAngus bull that is easier on the eyes and brings any more positive genetic pieces to the table than Main Event! The $50,000 high seller at the 2015 Triangle J bull sale had lots of friends including those who had been waiting for him to come along since his powerful and wildly popular full brother died from a bone infection within a few months after selling for $60,000 in the 2013 Triangle J sale. The mating flat works! His Boyd New Day dam has done nothing but produce front end bulls since she started and the combination of her type and production (4@114 WWR 3@115 YWR, 3@114 IMFR and 3@111 REAR) with the power, muscling and EPD profile of NLC MR Upgrade has worked every time. The Nicholson family and the folks at Triangle J were extremely disappointed by the loss of TJ Center Stage two years ago, but Chris and his family came right back this year to get the brother that looked and performed so much like the one they lost. The good news is that TJ Main Event may be even better than his brother with the nearly ideal set to his rear pastern and foot that was the Achilles heel of Center Stage himself. Use Main Event to add growth and substance to his offspring along with a consistent, sale topping look.

DOMINANT PERFORMANCE IN A PROFIT GENERATING, GREAT LOOKING PACKAGE. Black Ice is a true spread bull with the unique balance of calving ease, growth and profit that is not easy to equal! When you search the ASA database for bulls with his levels of Calving Ease EPD, Birth Weight EPD that still beat +139 for Yearling Weight EPD you will only find 5 of them and of that rare group he provides the most combined carcass value improvement. Lots of producers today are searching for a bull that delivers extra growth and power, Black Ice is that kind of bull. As the co-top seller of the 2015 Trinity Farms bull sale, he dominated the competition for growth, phenotype and potential to impact the breed. After DNA information was included, his EPD profile includes 10 traits with top 10% rankings or better including top 1% values for Weaning, Yearling and $TI EPDs. The maternal potential however is there to boot. His young Mytty In Focus dam has already put up average ratios of 107, 104 and 107 for birth weight, weaning and yearling performance and the average IMF and REA ratios are 126 and 101 respectively. Her first bull calf too was chosen by Simmental breeder Brad Leen at Premier Beef in Thrall TX to move their program forward. Use Black Ice to improve value across the board and make a new generation of performance improving, sound powerful sons and daughters.

191 $API AND 94 $TI IN A DEEP, SOUND, EASY FLESHING PACKAGE. Clear Progress brings lots of profit drivers together in a deep sided, sound structured package with a few different twists in his pedigree. Some don’t expect a great numbered bull $API +191 and $TI +94.9 to be the highest volume and easiest fleshing bull in his contemporary group. I have never understood why nor accepted that there was any reason for that logic and neither did Bob Fitzpatrick when he showed me Clear Progress for the first time. Bob asked “well what do you think of him?” I responded, “let’s get this bull DNA tested to make sure he is free of DD and homozygous black and polled then get him collected so we can offer his semen and value to others.” He came back from testing with all of the right results so here he is the Allied catalog for 2015. A son of the value leader GAR Progress his dam is a wonderful young CDI Entourage daughter out of a powerhouse Triple C Poderosa Rey female that will absolutely turn your head. Use Clear Progress to add profit and phenotype that will make your commercial customers very happy.

RED FULL BROTHER TO W/C LOCK DOWN 206Z. Red outcross genetics with added marketability. Most of you have admired the dollars generated by the black blaze faced sons and daughters of Lock and Load over the past couple of years. Some however forget that he is actually a red carrier with a pedigree that is significantly different to most popular red lines today. Last Call was a favorite by everyone who saw him sale day because of his tremendous performance, depth and spring of rib and rugged, sound structure. From the side he balanced up with power and filled his track on the move with ease. From behind the muscle you can expect from Lock and Load was all there too and with a wide powerful rib and great fleshing ability. Use Last Call too for having one of the best and most balanced EPD profiles of any Lock and Load son anywhere. Currently this is one of the few red SimAngus F1 bulls available and has a substantially different pedigree to most all of today’s popular reds pedigrees. CARCASS

HOOK’S XPECTATION 36X Red, Homozygous Polled || 3/4 SM 1/4 AN ASA# 2559346 DOB: 2/23/2010 Tattoo: 36X
MODERATE, EASY FLESHING, NEAR PERFECT DAUGHTERS. Xpectation is a really special red bull! His ability to sire very light birth weight calves perfect for heifers is well documented, but 36X daughters will be his legacy to the beef business. If you want to make hundreds of moderate, easy fleshing, great uddered, gentile, low maintenance cows with extra body thickness and longevity, Xpectation is your bull, period. 36X was the ¾ blood, homozygous polled, top selling bull at the 2011 Hook Farms Bred for Balance Sale and is a maternal brother to Hooks Yukon 80Yout of the great Hooks Mika 141M donor. A DD free son of the profit leader GW Predestined 701T, he sets new standards for calving ease and carcass traits with a birth weight EPD of -5.7 and an All Purpose Index of +165. This is the kind of red bull producers can breed everything to and be glad they did for years to come.

IMPROVES GROWTH AND RIBEYE AREA WITHOUT ADDING EXTRA BIRTHWEIGHT. Yukon is solidifying his position as a logical successor to Beef King, his famous sire. A true balanced trait bull he has improved his breed ranking substantially this year and is now in top 20% of all Purebred Simmental bulls in 13 different EPD categories! For a bull that calves so easily it is unique that one of his most dominant progeny traits is Rib Eye area. Ranking in the top 20 proven bulls for REA EPD, his sons scan with some of the largest rib measurements in every single contemporary group measured with many in excess of 17 and 18 square inches. He can flat fix light muscled cows. He also excels on the maternal side being a breed improver for both Maternal Calving Ease and Maternal Weaning Weight EPD. Yukon calves come easy at birth, but find another gear for growth as they get older. You will be impressed with the thickness and substance he sires in all his progeny. His dam Hooks Mika too is among the most valuable red purebred females anywhere and is a model cow for production and phenotype. She is also the dam of the calving ease and maternal specialist Hooks Expectation at Allied. Yukon also will greatly improve sheath quality and front ends.

OUTCROSS RED GENETICS WITH EXTRA GROWTH, MUSCLING AND DOCILITY. Purebred red outcross seedstock bulls are very difficult to find and many don’t deliver the kind of punch and muscle that so many herds count on for their customers. Rennovator is a total outcross to almost all other red pedigreed cattle in the Simmental breed. You have to go back four or five generations on either side of his pedigree to find the red pedigrees that form his foundation and he traces back to some of the best. His perfectly uddered Fortunate Son dam has already weaned 4 calves at 105 ratio and is a maternal sister to both Mr Ishee Catalyst (ABS) and Mr Ishee Red Density. Rennovator is absolutely a power bull and bred to be that way. As a yearling he dominated his contemporary group for width, muscling and substance of bone and foot. Expect him to sire added weaning and yearling weights along with improvement in both marbling and maternal trait genetics like MCE and Milk. Rennovator has no Shear Force, Beef Maker, Dream On or Rushmore in his pedigree. YW

THE #1 $API BULL IN THE BREED AND A TOTAL OUTCROSS RED PUREBRED. Rest Easy is an obvious choice for outcross red genetics and for unequalled calving ease without sacrificing quality. His calves are born small and easy, yet are very vigorous. They mature into easy fleshing, thick made progeny that are easy to maintain. Use him to decrease mature size, increase muscle and add rib shape. From a genetic evaluation stand point, U085 is one of a kind. He is the Number 1 ranking Purebred Simmental bull for All Purpose Index and also the Number 1 sire for Calving Ease, Birth Weight and Marbling genetics in the breed. In addition the disposition of his progeny is as good as it gets.

CALVES LOOK JUST AS GOOD AS HE DOES. OUTCROSS RED GENETICS. Producers searching for a tremendous red bull with an outcross pedigree have been turning to Northern to provide value and unique red pedigree. Physically you will be impressed with his depth and rib mass in addition to the athleticism of this TNT Axis son. His dam too is an absolute model cow. She was the pick of the Lassle Ranch females in 2011 and this In Dew Time daughter is as productive and physically appealing as you will find. Northern’s heterozygous polled status is really the only thing keeping him from being more widely used, but if you are searching for high quality and outcross genetics for use on homozygous polled or Red Angus females, put Northern on your list to use this year. His first bull calves selling this spring are absolutely fantastic and will draw a lot of attention. Northern too was raised at over 7500 feet of altitude and came through his PAP testing with flying colors. Use Northern to increase growth and volume. Genetically, use Northern to improve growth traits, marbling and rib eye. BW

RX LONDONS FIRE Red, Homozygous Polled || PB SM ASA# 2498236 DOB: 3/5/2009 Tattoo: W90
RED GENETICS BRED AND PROVEN TO THRIVE IN THE SOUTH TEXAS HEAT! Balanced trait performance with added maternal trait value, Londons Fire is a great new option for improving red genetics. Sired by Hooks Sequoia and with an absolutely outcross maternal side, he has proven himself to sire progeny that excel in the southern US. Fire ranks in the top 2% for Marbling EPD and the top 30% and 20% for $API and $TI, he offers progress to many of today’s tightly bred red lines. His first crop of daughters at Sally Buxkemper’s RX Simbrah had a 100% breed back as three year olds even in the challenging environment of central Texas. His dam too has been a phenomenal producer with 5 calves @ 119 for weaning ratio. If you are looking for slick haired red cattle with proven performance, look no further than Londons Fire. Londons Fire is a graduate of the ASA’s Carcass Merit Program.

WS ALL ABOARD B80 Red, Homozygous Polled || PB SM ASA# 2852207 DOB: 3/4/2014 Tattoo: B80
UNLIMITED POTENTIAL FOR THIS CALVING EASE, GROWTH, CARCASS AND PROFIT LEADER! I think almost everyone who saw B80s photo in the 2015 Breeding for the Future Sale at least thought about buying him. When you added that powerhouse look with a phenomenal performance and genetic profile it is no wonder so many folks showed up and tried to get the job done. Nearly 1500 pounds at a year of age, 136 ratio for marbling, a 16.6 sq. in. rib eye and in excess of 42 cm of scrotal circumference, All Around looked great from an individual performance perspective. When all the data is included, his EPDs are even better. He ranks in the top 20% or better for 14 individual EPD categories and therefore easily in the top 1% for both $API and $TI. He is designed to be a true spread bull with a CE EPD in the top 10% along with Weaning and Yearling Weight EPDs in the top 3% of all purebred bulls. Just to add the frosting to the cake, his famous dam W37 is a full sister to WS Beef Maker with a powerhouse record for making better red cattle. YW

CDI MAVERICK 335B Red, Homozygous Polled || PB SM ASA# 2853061 DOB: 4/10/2014 Tattoo: 335B
OUTCROSS RED GENETICS WITH EXTREME QUALITY. Big time outcross red genetics! We have added substantial punch to our red Simmental lineup for 2015 and Maverick is one of the leaders of this new group of young guns. Outcross genetics are in demand! Too often however those outcross choices come with baggage either in their pedigrees or their genetic values. Maverick brings outcross red genetics to the table with a phenomenal EPD array and a list of ancestors that are exactly what we were looking for in high reputation purebred alternatives. Sired by one of the best all around red bulls available, he offer great spread from birth to weaning and an EPD profile with 12 traits in top 25% of the breed. Maverick should improve, the calving ease complex, all maternal traits and offer substantial progress for marbling and rib eye both! He is perfectly bred to use on Beef Maker and Beef King dominated pedigrees. YW

CDI ACE 223B Red, Homozygous Polled || PB SM ASA# 2852783 DOB: 3/19/2014 Tattoo: 223B
OUTCROSS HOMOZYGOUS POLLED SON OF THR NORTHERN. CDI Ace is another of the new, high value outcross red options for 2015 at Allied. A son of THR Northern and out of a GW Predestined 701T daughter, Ace is a great looking, balanced trait improver that ranks in the top 10% for both $API and $TI. THR Northern was one of the most exciting red outcross bulls to sell in 2013. Were it not for the fact that he is heterozygous polled, his value would have been even greater than it was. C Diamond saw that potential value and mated Northern to some of their very best homozygous polled red cows with the purpose of making a son that was homozygous polled. That is how Ace came to be and why he was retained by C Diamond as a next generation breed improver. Ace too offers the wonderful depth of side, balance and structural soundness that are hallmarks of THR Northern progeny.

WS ZENITH Z55 Red, Homozygous Polled || PB SM ASA# 2675747 DOB: 3/1/2012 Tattoo: Z55
COMPLETE OUTCROSS AND PROVEN RED PUREBRED SIRE OF VALUE. WS Zenith might just offer the most storied, outcross pedigree available in red Simmental genetics today! Sired by the outcross growth leader GW Red Coat 099TS, his powerful dams pedigree reads ER Big Sky, Hooks Red Quorum, SRS Fortune 500, BOZ Red Coat, DS Pollfleck, Blacktop 206Y and Black Knight U2. This historically bred donor dam has consistently produced value including WS Prime Beef Z8 serving at ABS. Zenith sold in 2013 as the pick of two featured full brothers from Wilkinson Simmental. Since then he is siring all of the performance promised plus high selling phenotype on his first group of marketed sons from the Schnabel and Wilkinson programs. Zenith is proven to add growth genetics as he ranks in the top 2% for YW EPD while keeping calving ease and birth weight at a very sensible level. He too should significantly improve disposition. Use Zenith as a great outcross option to add performance and push frame upward on cows that need an extra shot of length and skeletal size. YW

HPF MACK THAT A056 Red, Homozygous Polled || PB SM ASA# 2730831 DOB: 2/18/2013 Tattoo: A056
COMPLETE OUTCROSS RED GENETICS WITH EXTRA MUSCLE AND STOUTNESS. More big time outcross red genetics with breed changing muscling and power! Mack That is a great choice for those searching for something different in red genetics and who are looking to add the kind of muscling that used to be more common in the Simmental breed. Base width, immense rib shape, a massive top and a huge, deep quarter are the first things you notice when you see Mack That. Beyond that, he has a really large and nearly perfect foot. He was a crowd favorite at the 2013 Bulls of the Big Sky sale because he was so unique in his stoutness and correctness in combination. His sire has very limited semen availability so using A056 gives access to these rare and valuable genetics. On the cow side, HPF Caliente U335 recently sold for $19,000 as a feature of the HPF Living Legacy sale. Expect great disposition too as Mack That is among the most quiet natured bull you will ever be around. CARCASS

UNITED’S FIRST GREAT 3/4 BLOOD SON. TOP SELLER FOR NLC IN 2014. Pure power and performance with all the muscle and volume you could possibly ask for! Avenue was the Lot #1 and powerhouse W/C United son that led off the 2014 NLC/3C bull sale. With plenty of breeder friends bidding sale day he brought $31,000 to top the event and solidify his place among the elite seedstock bulls to sell in 2014. MR Avenue offers top 1% or 2% rankings for all growth traits (WW, YW and CW EPDs) and does it all without adding unnecessary extra frame. Individually he ratioed 115 with 74 contemporaries at yearling and still posted a birth weight below herd average. Use this unique ¾ blood United son to sire the next generation of purebred cattle with the extra volume, rib shape and center body dimension every breeder is looking for. Avenue’s first calves have just hit the ground and the reports on birth weight and quality are very good.

More and more serious breeders are considering the outcross and unique trait value of ¾ Simmental bulls to help reach their outcross goals and make improvement. Commercial producers to who want to take advantage of Simmental genetics for more muscle, growth and cutability, but still aren’t sure about using purebreds often find these ¾ bulls a terrific middle ground for their needs as well. Gravity really fits the needs of both. Among bulls capable of siring Purebred Simmental offspring, he offers top 5% value when compared to all bulls capable of siring purebred progeny for the profit driven All Purpose Index because of his balanced leadership in an array of traits including Calving Ease, Birth Weight, Maternal Calving Ease, Milk, Maternal Weaning Weight, Docility, Ribeye and improved Tenderness. Even with all of that you can still expect above average growth and wonderful, sound structured phenotype. His dam, “Apple”, short for CCR MS Apple 9332W, is the key here. After weaning her first natural calf at nursing ratio 128 she went right into the Cow Camp donor program. One of the widest based and nicest uddered In Dew Time daughters you will ever see, her embryo progeny dominated the top end of the 2014 Cow Camp bull sale with Gravity and his full brother CCR Wide Range topping the offering both fetching more than $20,000. Gravity’s half brother sired by CCR Catalyst then topped the SimAngus portion of the sale. You will find him, CCR Spartan 9124A in the Allied directory as well. All of these “Apple” sons created a sensation and will moving forward.

USE THIS 3/4 BLOOD SIRE TO MAKE GREAT NEW GENERATION PUREBREDS. Fortified is the definition of a balanced trait improver. Every EPD but one is on the right side of breed average and that one is very close. Being in the top 10% for CE EPD and still the top 10% for Weaning Weight EPD makes him the definition of the spread bull that so many are looking for to improve both traits at once. Hooks Shear Force for many years has set a very high bar with his ability to generate profit in nearly all aspects of the beef business. Fortified could very well be the homozygous black Shear Force son that furthers the legacy of his famous sire by adding additional growth genetics and an even more pleasing phenotype. Physically he is impressive with extra depth of chest floor and more flank than most Shear Force sons. Additionally he offers greater testicular size than many of his brothers and is nearly ideal for structure on the move. His beautiful Bismarck dam too looks to be a top young cow in the Double J Farms cow herd. Don’t forget as a ¾ blood, Fortified can sire purebred progeny when used on purebred cows. That makes him a great solution for creating positive genetic change.

GORGEOUS BALDY PHENOTYPE WITH ADDED PERFORMANCE AND VALUE. Bounty is a growth oriented white face bull that is bred to deliver performance in any situation. Too often in order to take advantage of the marketing advantages a blaze face can bring to an operation you are forced to choose between only low growth , low profit bulls. Bounty offers an alternative and still all the phenotypic quality you can ask for. When you compare the weight generating EPDs of this ¾ blood sire to all other bulls that can sire purebred offspring (Purebred % Rankings) he offers YW EPD in the top 3% and Maternal Weaning Weight in the top 1%. When you factor in his moderate birth weight numbers and breed improving carcass genetics it pushes his $API above +140 and $TI to +83. Bounty’s young, Invasion sired dam has started her productive life with a bang as well with 2 calves so far ratioing 107 at weaning and 106 for yearling weight. Physically, Bounty was as stout and eye appealing as you will find. Huge topped, wide based and among the elite bulls you will find for spring and shape of rib, he still offers a level, correct profile and clean features on the profile. You too will be impressed with the extra bone and substance he offers right down at the ground. Bounty is homozygous black and homozygous polled.

STILL ON OF THE MOST CONSISTENT AND BEST EPD 3/4 BLOOD BULLS EVER. Lucky Boy is the kind of bull that can make a long term positive impact on just almost any herd. Whether you use him as a heifer bull to produce purebred offspring out of purebred heifers or as a long term investment to make tremendous percentage females with extra carcass genetics built in, Lucky Boy is solid for value. For use on purebreds to make purebreds he ranks in the top 1% for the API and top 2% for TI dollar profit indexes. Lucky Boy is a homozygous black, homozygous polled, non-spotting son of the growth and carcass sire GW Lucky Man 644N that sires substantially less birth weight with the same powerful growth performance and carcass value. His progeny are deeper sided, easier fleshing and more structurally correct behind than those sired by his popular sire and are more conservative for mature size. The herds that have used Lucky Boy over the past few years have become loyal and consistent followers because he does so much right and so little wrong. Lucky Boy does just about everything right including producing some of the nicest uddered, fleshiest and quietest young daughters you will find.

Axis ranks in the top 4% of the breed for WW EPD, the top 1% for REA EPD and his Docility EPD is also in the top 10%. His productive dam has weaned 5 calves at 111 average weaning ratio in the very competitive maternal performance contemporary groups and TNT Simmental in North Dakota. His first daughters are maturing early and are reported to be some of the most gentile females at calving time of any sire group. Udders too look to be nearly ideal.

Black Hawk was bred for then purchased for his promise to promote top end calving ease. The good news is in addition to his top 1% ranking for both CE and BW EPDs among all bulls that can sire purebred offspring, he offers a whole lot more. Remember, the offspring of ¾ blood bulls like 50B, qualify as purebreds when mated back to purebred Simmental females so his EPD percentile ranks can be directly compared to purebreds when making sire selections. With that in mind Black Hawk ranks in the top 25% for YW EPD, top 10% for MCE EPD, top 10% for Maternal Weaning Weight EPD, top 1% for MB EPD and top 10% for Rib Eye EPD. When all of that data is combined to find the valuable bulls, Black Hawk scores a +$179 for all around genetic value and a +$85 value for terminal traits, both easily in the top 1% of the choices you have. Black Hawk is quite simply bred to deliver profit and his young dam is doing just that with 2 calves weaned so far with an average weaning weight ratio of 109. In person, Black Hawk is the smooth sided, deep bodied, moderate sized, sound footed bull you might expect from his pedigree and photo. You will find his popular sire Hooks Xavier among the elite SimAngus sires in the Allied directory as well.

J BAR J HIRED MAN 404B Homozygous Black, Homozygous Polled || 5/8 SM 3/8 AN ASA# (2864208) DOB: 2/6/2014 Tattoo: J-J 404B
NO LEGACY IN HIS PEDIGREE AND OUT OF NIGHTRIDE’S DAM. Hired Man 404B is unique because unlike the vast majority of the high value bulls in the breed, he has no Legacy in his pedigree what so ever. Hired Man was the leadoff bull at the 2015 Great Lakes Beef Connection bull sale because his pedigree, EPD profile and moderate, powerful type combine to give him the potential to do great things. Wide topped, big ribbed, extremely long sided, square and clean, he was easy to pick out even as a calf. He is sired by JC Mr National who is proving to be an extremely unique calving ease bull that offers extra growth even on calves born to first calf heifers. Jim Zinzer chose to use Mr National to flush the dam of J Bar J Nightride and the results were as predicted. 404B currently ranks in the top 3% of all SimAngus for Calving Ease EPD, the top 10% for BW EPD and still makes the top quarter of the breed for performance at yearling. This makes two powerhouse stud bulls for the 793X cow and we predict there will be more to come! WW

W/C PALEFACE 756X Homozygous Black, Homozygous Polled || PB SM ASA# 2562543 DOB: 3/16/2010 Tattoo: 756X
MAKES GREAT DAUGHTER! PROVEN TO WORK VERY WELL IN SOUTHERN CLIMATES. Paleface has proven to be a super choice for making half-blood commercial bulls, siring a high percentage blaze-face with a “look” the commercial cattlemen love. They are smaller frame, huge middle, massive muscle, big footed, and big scrotal, all the economic traits that are truly important to commercial cattle producers who depend on their herd sires for soundness, longevity, and producing pounds of calves. Use Paleface on Angus cows to make a very marketable F1 product. As an added bonus, Paleface progeny adapt wonderfully to southern environments with the ability to shed and maintain condition through the heat and tougher forage conditions that challenge so many other cattle. Make some of the best and most practical SimAngus blaze faced females you have ever seen by using Paleface on Angus cows.

OUTCROSS PUREBRED SIRE OF WONDERFUL AND EXTREMELY CONSISTENT SIMANGUS. Monte delivers what other “go to” Purebred growth bulls do, but he does it with more calving ease, consistency and marbling as well as siring some of the most gentile cattle you will find. Oh, and did I mention he is a great outcross choice too. His sons have been the choice of many of the best commercial producers in the seats for the Bulls of the Big Sky sale every year and Lassle’s took home their pick for use at LRS in 2014. Bottom line is that Monte is just a dang good purebred bull. A homozygous black, homozygous polled son of GW Lucky Charm out of a massive LRS Revolution daughter, Monte has proven himself with deep, wide bodied sons and feminine, maternally bred daughters. A true balanced trait bull, you will see EPD values in the high end of percentile rank across the board including Yearling Weight EPDs in the top 4% of the breed. Sound structure, volume, thickness, balance and great disposition are strengths of every single calf he sires. After years of proof, Monte has also become one of the best bulls to use on straight Angus cows. The consistency and fault free nature of his calves make some of the most practical SimAngus you will find year after year. Just check out his son LRS Range Boss in the SimAngus section of the Allied Directory!

ALL/FHG FIRST ASCENT 117Y Homozygous Black, Homozygous Polled || PB SM ASA# 2615866 DOB: 1/19/2011 Tattoo: 117Y
POWER AND GLORY! GORGEOUS CALVES. First Ascent is siring extremely deep, sound, stout made progeny that are wonderful on the profile and more importantly on the ranch. To add to his value, First Assent’s dam, Oval F Nicholette N433, is a good a Simmental cow as you will ever lay your eyes on. This Joker daughter has generated one outstanding progeny after another for the Adcock’s in Illinois and still has maintained the great looks she had when she was reserve female at Louisville years ago. First Assent is her Upgrade son and the top seller of the 2012 Flying H Genetics sale in Missouri. Upgrade does some great things on the sire side for performance and mass, but finding one with nearly ideal structure and large testicle size is difficult. 117Y excels in areas where Upgrade is not strong. Athletic, large testicled and attractive he still comes with the punch of high ranking Weaning, Yearling, Milk MWW and REA EPDs. He also is a breed leader for improving Tenderness genetics. Stop by Hayes Ranch just outside of Bozeman, Montana to see him in person or just breed to him and make better Simmentals.

NICHOLS LEGACY M72 SIRE: NICHOLS MANIFEST T79 NICHOLS MCM N13
OUTCROSS PUREBRED SIRE OF EXTRA MUSCLING AND IDEAL STRUCTURE. Straightforward is moving up the genetic charts! The progeny proofs are coming in and MF Straighforward is proving to be much more than just an outcross growth bull. Sure the top 1% ranking for Yearling Weight performance is impressive and obvious in his calves, but coupled with the increased levels of calving ease that he is presenting each evaluation, he is proving to be a multipurpose breeding piece that also offers improvement in maternal and carcass traits as well. The photo of Straightforward does a nice job of showing the power and muscle mass that he offers, but his calves too are proving to have extra flank and soundness of structure. Straightforward looks to me like an outcross purebred bull that needs to be more widely used. Expect significantly more fleshing ability and ideal joint structure than most Manifest sons due his outstanding Reymond sired dam. She currently boasts an average weaning ratio of 110 on 4 calves with 2 bull calves at 113 for yearling, 111 for IMF and 106 for REA.

OUTCROSS GENETICS WITH TOP 1% $API. Pathway offers a Purebred Simmental calving ease pedigree that is a little different, making him a good choice for a wide range of Purebred Simmental pedigrees. He ranks in the top 2% of the breed for direct calving ease and birth weight EPD and in to top 1% of the breed for marbling EPD and All Purpose Index (API). His pedigree is loaded with great “cow making” sires along with several of the top cow families in the Cow Camp Ranch herd. Pathway was one of the standout and high selling bulls in the 2013 Cow Camp Ranch Sale and was sampled through the ASA Carcass Merit Herd with calves born in the spring of 2014. The early data and quality of his first progeny should put him on the very short list for any breeder looking for a calving ease, high carcass value, and high index value Purebred Simmental sire. YW

THE OUTCROSS PUREBRED OPTION YOU MAY BE LOOKING FOR WITH TOP 1% API. Genetic reach in every possible direction is what Zeus offers the genetics business. Designed as a Purebred Simmental bull ideal for use on heifers, his yearling performance values still rank in the top 25% of all purebreds and he gained more than 5 pounds per day on development. He is the definition of that hard to find spread bull in this breed. As an all around sire, he ranks in the top 15% or better in 11 different EPD categories and most importantly the top 1% for API at +$162 and top 3% for TI at +$80. Additionally 718Z is an IR Teton out of an LRS Time Zone daughter so he offers some unique pedigree options and still traces back to some of the very most valuable donors at the Irvine Ranch in Manhattan KS. Zeus is bred to be the new go to heifer bull and an EPD improver for 2015 and beyond.

Hook’s Beacon 56B is simply the highest dollar value Homo. Polled/Homo. Black Purebred Simmental bull to have been produced in the entire Simmental breed to date. Generating $API 185.6, $TI 97 in a 6 frame package with added length, substance and muscle, Beacon is a true outlier in every sense of the word. Hook’s Shear Force is the undisputed champion of trouble free genetics with nearly unequalled calving ease, maternal and carcass values. Beacon is the son poised to take the place of his legendary sire as he offers the same convenience traits with more yearling performance on a bigger footed, softer structured skeleton. As you scan across his EPD profile, you will find 6 traits in the top 1% of all PB bulls, 12 in the top 10% and every trait above breed avg. except for backfat EPD and that higher backfat EPD may very well be a good thing for a purebred bull! Another unique genetic leap Beacon offers is that only a few high API bulls offer big time yearling growth and muscling values. Beacon posts top percentile EPD’s of +124.5 for YW and +1.42 for REA which is a dominant combination among breed leaders for profit indexes. Beacon’s maternal background is significant for production value as well. His two yr. old dam by GW Predestined 701T weaned Beacon off at 756 pounds to ratio 109, he then went on to a 108 ratio at yearling, 123 ratio for IMF and 115 for REA. His Grand dam, Hook’s Uno 54U posted an avg. weaning ratio of 114, avg. yearling ratio of 115, avg. IMF ratio of 109 and 111 for REA comparison and put two sons in seedstock herds. The pedigree, the individual performance, the genetic profile and phenotype are all in place to give Beacon unprecedented potential to make more profitable cattle.

CLEAN MADE HIGH PERFORMING SUBSTANCE SON WITH COW POWER BUILT IN. Baltic is among the cleanest and most attractive of all the great Substance sons sold in the 2015 Bred for Balance sale. 7 sons of GW Substance averaged $14,857 that day and Baltic topped that high value group as the choice of the Carr family at Little Bitterroot Ranch for $30,000. EPD spread, balanced value, depth of body, stoutness, wonderful structure and great disposition are just a few of the reasons this group was so popular and why Baltic is so good. His top 1% value for Yearling Weight improvement couples well with a sire also predicted to be in the top 20% for calving ease. From a carcass value perspective he should greatly improve both marbling (top 2%) and tenderness (top 1%), two traits that should be high on everyone’s priority list. His mother is a young priority donor in the Hook Farms herd and is a direct daughter of the great Hooks Sarita 4S cow. One look at Baltic’s 3 flush mate sisters and you will understand why they too are slated to be important pieces of Tom’s program for years to come. Use Baltic to improve disposition as well with both Substance and Sure Bet in the pedigree for insurance of his top 1% ranking for making quiet cattle. Consider Baltic as a high value son of Substance with less skin in his front end and improved genetics for weaning and yearling performance.

HOOK’S BOZEMAN 8B Homozygous Black, Homozygous Polled || PB SM ASA# 2854480 DOB: 2/23/2014 Tattoo: 8B
PERFECT STRUCTURE, DEPTH OF FLANK AND BODY VOLUME HARD TO FIND IN PUREBREDS. Deep sided, big bodied bulls that are sound, big footed and ultra thick sell well no matter what market you are in. We just need more of them! Bozeman is as deep, big footed, thick ended and stout as you can make one. He too is imposing from the side with his tremendous depth of flank, masculinity and ideal joint angle. In addition his outcross pedigree includes GW Substance x Triple C Invasion and GLS Frontier in the first three sire positions. 8B also has a balanced and breed improving EPD profile with CE in the top 10% of the breed, MB EPD in the top 2% resulting in an API of +$149 to rank in the top 4% of purebred sires. His top 1% ranking for Docility EPD is indicative of all Substance sons whose quiet nature puts them in high demand for those looking for a little easier cattle to work and be around. As an individual Bozeman posted an impressive 107 ratio for ADG and 112 ratio for rib eye. Use him to improve a large array of traits and add more volume to every cow he mates. YW

MUSCLE, WIDTH AND POWER. 1509 AT YEARLING ON A 6.5 FRAME. Boulevard could have just as easily been named Mountain for all of the performance, muscle, volume and power he possesses! A son of the balanced trait leader Hooks Yellowstone, he pounded out a 123 Average Daily Gain ratio along with a 1509 pound adjusted yearling weight. His yearling 6.5 frame score too should be ideal for those looking for a bit more power without overdoing it. Phenotypically too he is imposing. Massive quartered, big ribbed and stout from end to end, he should do everything right for making powerful sons for the next generation. The good news is, there is more to Boulevard than just big growth. He currently ranks in the top 15% for CE and BW EPD after DNA addition and his productive dam, 14U has 4 calves at 105 for weaning ratio and 107 yearling ratio. His grand dam is also the grand dam of Hooks Bozeman. Use 41B to improve performance and sire more depth of body than his popular sire. YW

MCC Daylite just might be the do it all Angus sire! It doesn’t matter which database you find him in, he is hard to match for across the board genetic excellence. He was chosen for his potential as a calving ease specialist with great end product data and is delivering both. The great part is he is turning out to be so much more! In the American Angus database he currently ranks in the top 1% for CE, BW and MCE and top 2% for Heifer Pregnancy EPDs and still cracks +110 for $Beef. So when you put all that together with his ability to sire moderation of mature size and advanced docility, and the fact that he ranks in the top 15% or better for $G, $QG, $YG and $Beef and is in the top 45% or better for every index $Value trait he just about does it all. His early calf crops included the $26,000 high selling bull at the 2013 Cow Camp Ranch Sale to ABS (CCR Frontier), and the top selling heifer at the 2013 Wild, Wild West Sale, he too has been calved wonderfully to nearly than 1000 commercial heifers. For making SimAngus he is hard to beat as well providing Calving Ease, Growth, Moderate Size, Marbling and REA. Just as an added bonus, he is physically correct, striking on the profile and has above average muscling and base width. Not your average heifer bull that’s for sure. A top son of the very popular and deceased MCC Daybreak and out of a Mytty In Focus Daughter, Daylite is stacked with a legacy of consistency and maternal value.
