■ Off-the-charts performance in a realistic frame size package. ■ Big scrotal, sound-structured bull with a great “LOOK” that can travel like a cat while possessing the muscle of a rhino. ■ OMAHA is still the right play call for industry-leading numbers and a stunning look.

■ Tom Hook’s comment in his sale catalog a year ago still fits this bull perfectly, “Admiral’s gentle disposition, soft structure, and sound hoof quality compliment his premier genetic balance. Soggy and sound best describes the Protégé-sired standout”. ■ No birth weight or calving issues reported from a very large number of calves born in multiple herds and appears they will live up to his high-performance EPDs. ■ Exhibiting powerful terminal performance and carcass EPDs, yet backed by the cow that is the high-maternal foundation of the Hook Farms program.

■ Unique combination of high performance and literally off the charts high marbling. ■ Known for his big middle, super attractive daughters that have been in strong demand each year in the Gibbs Farms Sale, topping the female offering in 2014 and 2013. ■ Solid black himself, but has established a reputation of stamping a blaze-face on many of his progeny, a trait coming from his dam and grand-dam. ■ Total outcross to all Hooks Shear Force and Nichols Legacy pedigrees. 144

■ Unique and different pedigree that is a total outcross to all Hook’s Shear Force and Nichols Legacy. ■ Massive body dimension and loaded with muscle, posting almost a 1.50 square inch/hundred weight REA scan, an almost unheard of REA/cwt. ratio of high-value primal carcass cuts. ■ Found many friends in the 2015 Gibbs Farms Bull Sale as he commanded the 2nd high all-time price for the sale at $26,000. ■ A Nightride son with a little extra power and performance traveling on a big, sound foot.

■ Great calving ease prospect, stacking two of the top calving ease SimAngusTM sires in the breed. ■ Was the easy #1 pick and high-selling bull in the Gibbs Farms 2015 fall sale. ■ Incredibly sound made bull with a world of rib and capacity, a bull you will find stout and attractive from all angles, as his name implies, a bull to build a strong foundation. ■ Possibly the most important young sire added to the A.I. industry this year.
