T BAR S Stimulus 112H is the product of years of work for T Bar S Cattle Company. We could not be more excited to offer this scale busting, Homo Black, Homo Polled, outcross herd sire prospect for your appraisal. He is sired by our herd bull, T Bar S Giddy Up 102D, who is writing his own story in our program for his phenotypic excellence and strong EPD profile. Stimulus 112H was campaigned alongside his mother, BEAS 4709B, at the 2020 Junior Classic; many have said her to be our most impressive cow. This March bull calf has an adjusted weaning weight of 996 lbs. Consider not only this but his stellar EPDs as well. He is in the Top 30% of the breed for WW, YW, TM, MARB, CFAT, and FPI. Plus, he is above breed average for MILK, STAY, YG, and CREA. In person, he is a rugged built, heavy boned, thick ended calf with extra body and balance, not to mention his perfect set of feet and legs.

Remedy is a herd sire prospect that exemplifies many of the goals we strive to achieve within our program. We consistently select for soft structured easy fleshing cattle that combine muscle mass, depth of rib and length of spine. While maintaining the ability to cover large pastures. Remedy and his young dam check all those boxes. BABR 8240F has been a standout female within her calving year and has not disappointed with age, weaning and 810 lb. bull her first calving year. She is certain to have an exciting future in production. Remedy is sired by KR Synergy, and Angus bull we selected to utilize on heifers. This sire group offers a large birth to weaning spread (70 – 800 plus lbs.) and are stamped with a similar phenotype and disposition to our futurity candidate BABR Remedy.

TAU Homeland 56H is a Homozygous Black, Homozygous Polled 63% Balancer that has been a standout since day one. He is backed by a tremendous cow family that has produced many sale toppers and elite females for us. His dam, TAU Ms. Gridiron 131Y, was shown by the kids and was very successful for us. Homeland is sired by Leverage, and he has a ton to offer. 56H is big footed and sound structured, with extra mass and power. He is also extremely square built and level made with a ton of rib shape and body. Check out his genetic chart and you will notice that he offers a balanced set of EPD’s highlighted by top tier growth and carcass merit. Eye appeal, muscle shape, and genetic merit of this caliber is hard to find. We feel Homeland 56H is a tremendous individual that will sire easy keeping females and high-end herd bulls as well. We would be excited to show him to you in Oklahoma City, and look forward to visiting with you about him.

Mandate is very exciting as a breeder for me to showcase. Without a doubt this young prospect is from some of my best bloodlines. Great cow families leave a legacy that improves the genetic power that will continue moving this breed forward as the female producer of the industry. Mandate’s dam, 53W, has been a rock-solid producer leaving me several front-end females. This herd sire prospect has pedigree stacked deep with greats such as Highlight 066K, About Time (198L son) and 1682. Mandate is very smooth made with a tremendous top and hip. This guy is truly a complete package and will produce top end bulls while having the ability to make those elite females! I am excited and looking forward to the genetic contribution this young sire has to offer!!

Under Fire is a very unique, cherry red son of the 2019 Futurity Champion Bull, BGGR High Definition. We don’t produce many red bulls, but this one is very special. His dam is an Industry 301X daughter and I am telling you she’s the front pasture type. Industry 301X has proven himself in the Warner Beef and Cedar Top programs as being an elite female producer. Under Fire is exceptionally long fronted and combines a deep rib with a big, square hip. This is a big statement, but I will go on record saying that Under Fire sure has the pieces to become one of the best breeding bulls, red or black, offered this season. This young herd sire prospect is special in so many ways we can’t wait to use him and offer him for your evaluation!!

If there was only one word to best describe Precision Grade 312G it would be POWERHOUSE! He is a true beef machine with tremendous depth of body, thickness throughout and smokin good phenotypically. Plus he’s Homo Black and Homo Polled to boot. His sire we have been using on both our Gelbvieh and Angus cow herds with the upmost success in both breeds, he can get the job done with extra performance, thickness, depth of rib and also makes them very attractive with lots of eye appeal. His dam is our very best Impact daughter who has a near perfect udder, great foot and leg structure and very phenotypically correct. In short, Precision Grade is a muscular, young, herd sire prospect that captures your attention from every angle. We would appreciate your consideration.

WAM Public Offender 913G ranks in the top 20% of the Balancer breed for calving ease, birth weight and milk. But he is not your typical heifer bull. Public offender is a stout made and heavy muscled bull, who boasting a 70 birth weight rationing 95 then posting a 205 adjust weaning weight of 795 pounds rationing 108 and an adjusted yearling weight of 1320 rationing 113. Very few bulls can combine this type of calving ease and actual performance. Public Offender is a 63% Godfather son who has done a tremendous job for us siring calves that are born easy and grow. His daughters are eye appealing and easy fleshing. Public Offender’s dam, Honey Bun, was Jordan McIntosh’s show heifer and won her division at the Eastern Regional Show in 2016. She is an outstanding young cow that we have great expectations for. Public Offender will be the go to calving ease bull that will have performance and muscle shape. Don’t miss him at the Cattlemen’s Congress.

We are excited to offer you this great example of our breeding program, BNW Granger 9126G. With the cattleman’s demand for a bull that best combines the essentials of growth and carcass merit, you also find a super functionally correct bull in BNW Granger. When we select a herd bull, we start from the ground up and this guy is a great example of that criteria. Granger is a moderate and well-balanced bull, and on top of this, he’s super stout built and travels on a very flexible skeleton. One of the things we like about entering an older bull (April 2019) is that we know a lot more about him than we did as a calf. He has a BW ratio of 92, WW ratio of 111, YW ratio of 111, REA ratio of 101, and an IMF ratio of 124. Those numbers back up our expectations for him and his progeny, the first of which will be coming this Spring. In addition, when you look at Granger’s pedigree, you will see that he combines some top sires from both the Gelbvieh and Angus herd-books (Sandman, 6I6, Hoover Dam, Krugerrand, Mitty in Focus, and 2106). Those genetics have resulted in a high quality and very predictable product. However, those sires are far enough back in Granger’s pedigree to allow him to be used in just about anybody’s current breeding program. We are proud of program’s representative, BNW Granger 9126G, and excited to offer him to you as our 2021 Balancer Futurity entry.
