WINTER 2025
FOR GENETICS, GROWTH, AND CARCASS VALUE Jon Herrick, Select Sires Beef Sire Analyst 7AN779 Connealy RESTORE is an exciting Calving Ease sire that offers exceptional phenotype, added muscle and dimension, and a balanced data set. If you study his data, you will find that he is the true definition of balance as he ranks in the top 25% or better for almost all the economically relevant traits and is over 100 for $M and 300 for $C. In addition to Calving Ease and elite Maternal Value, he also excels for REA and Marbling. He is a 5.9-frame bull out of a young Connealy Stronghold daughter who has ratioed well for Weaning and Yearling on her first calves. We are getting very favorable calf reports, as they are standing out for phenotype, while maintaining Calving Ease and excellent vigor at birth. RESTORE is just what cattlemen
are asking for, a Calving Ease bull that does not give up muscle shape and growth, while providing elite Maternal and Carcass value. He is the complete package. 7AN805 GAR POWERCAT is the newest addition to our line-up out of the Gardiner Angus program. He was Lot #1 and recordbreaking, high-selling bull on the 2024 GAR Spring Production Sale. Gardiners have been saving this name for a truly special bull and there is no doubt that POWERCAT is deserving. As expected from the GAR program, he is a breed leader for Marbling, REA, $B, and $C. However, he offers much more with great predictions for CE, RADG, Heifer Pregnancy, Docility, Claw, and Angle. He recorded impressive ratios of 126 for IMF and 108 for REA against stiff competition at GAR. His
outcross pedigree allows him to be used on HOME TOWN, TRANSCENDENT, FIREPROOF, Fireball, and Dual Force daughters. In addition, his top 1% ranking for Hair Shed can allow him to be used in many environments. He is one of the hottest young bulls in the Angus breed and is being used in many progressive herds across the country. 7AR112 PIE CADILLAC is one of the highlight Red Angus bulls of the 2024 sale season. He does so many things right, offering amazing phenotype, ideal feet and legs, and a performance-loaded data set.
