New Genetics in 2017 by Flush...
B/R Pride 1551 (17050115) the powerful high growth, high marbling Pathfinder donor at T/D Angus at Rishel Ranch, NE was flushed to Basin Payweight 1682. We have three (3) heifers, two have had their first calves and they are excellent mothers; the third is a yearling and will be bred in 2019. A flush brother was the high selling bull in our 2018 sale to Peterson Angus in Alcester, SD. ‘1551’ also produced the $110,000 B/R Nationwide 69 at TD Angus. A heifer pregnancy that is a full sib to our three (3) ET heifers sold for $17,000 and a ¾ sister sold for $35,000. B/R Pride brings power and marbling to WTR. She was one of Bill Rishel’s favorite cows!
PA Lora 017-3123 (17578742) flushed to PA Fortitude 2500 ... '3123' is one of the most powerful females we have seen. The combination of Lora and Fortitude should provide one of the top animals in the breed.
EF Hazel 1261 (17044487) flushed to PA Full Power 1208... 'This cow has been a core donor for Brandon Peterson at Peterson Angus (SD). EF Hazel 1261 is a very long bodied, big spring of rib and a strong hip with excellent bone structure.
2019 should be another year of significant progress at WTR Angus. We have added several new ET calves and the Innovation, Traction, and Full Power calves are stunning in their appearance and dimension. The Bandolier bulls and heifers by ‘9403’ donor are exceptional. Our new herd bull, Sitz BowTie 11956 first calves are really meeting our expectations and we look forward to seeing how they are as mature cattle!
