ALS MR S & S REBEL YELL 16J

Mr S & S Rebel Yell 16J has been a standout since birth. If a picture is worth a thousand words then I won’t have to say a lot more. He’s everything we look for in a breed improving herd sire. Strong performance and EPD profile backed by a solid cow family. 16J nursed a 2-year-old Sam daughter that has a full brother on her side that’s just as impressive. His grand dam is a Dam of Merit. All in all, Mr S & S Rebel Yell 16J reflects 10 generations of our breeding that includes the dam of Maverick 70T and ultimately Ms Cajun 442J (one of our first Gelbvieh purchases in 1982). There’s a good chance he will be heifer acceptable. His impressive EPD profile places him in the top 30% for growth and carcass traits, top 2% for milk, top 10% or better for reproductive traits, stayability, docility, scrotal and $Cow Index. Genomic EPDs will be available by sale day. We are retaining 50% semen interest for in herd use. If you’re looking for a sure thing, study this one close. He’s as good as the picture.

This gentleman has been built like a herd-sire and wanted to be a pet since he was a few weeks old. His dam is a moderate unassuming Godfather cow that produces a good calf every year. She is raising her third calf this spring and we are excited that it is a heifer. Off an actual birthweight of 75 lbs., CCRC 566J grew to a 783 lb. adjusted weaning weight. He is homo-black and homopolled and has a well-balanced EPD profile with WW and YW EPDs in the top 2% and 4% of the breed.

This young homo-black, homo-polled bull is out of one of the most docile cows to have ever walked our pastures and he seems to have taken after his dam. By chance, we weaned him on his 210-day birthday and his actual weaning weight was 786 lbs. This young balancer will add some pounds to your weaned calves and your bottom line.
