237AN2394 R B TOUR OF DUTY 177 (AMF-NHF-CAF-MAF-DDF)
The trend across almost every breed today is to identify genetics with spread between the antagonistic traits of Birth and Yearling. It just doesnít happen, the genes for those traits have to be in place like RB Tour of Duty 177. Selected as the $55,000 record-selling bull at the 2012 Minnesota Bull Test Sale at Jackson, MN. Outstanding performance with a powerful phenotype has been his calling card from the get go plus the potential for high carcass weight make him the growth bull to hang your hat on. Tour of Duty was a sensation on display at the 2013 National Western Stock Show, showcasing his exceptional length, dimension, soundness, bone and hip. Few bulls his age even dared walking down the aisle. Great cows seem to always find a way to influence great herds and tremendous herd sires. His 10-year-old dam, BA Lady 6807 305, is now one of the top WW EPD in the breed at +78. She posts 4 BWR 96, 4 NR 110, 1 YR 109. A maternal brother to the ORIgen featured sire RB Active Duty 010 and a flush sister was the $17,000 Lot 1 and high-selling female in the 2013 Riley Bros. Production Sale. A maternal sister, RB Lady Standard 305-890, is already the top BW to YW spread dam in the Angus breed and she had a son that was the top-indexing bull at the 2013 Midland Bull Test. Her first seven daughters at public auction averaged $28,000 with $516,000 in revenue over three short years. When it comes to high weaning and yearling outliers without lots of birth grief, Tour of Duty hits the bullseye. 2014 Inspection - Tour of Duty is an amazing phenotypic larger framed bull. He parades with a bold strong stride, head held proudly high. He displays an amazingly docile nature. His overall structure and soundness is great. A visit to Riley Bros to see his family line and progeny really stamped Tour of Duty as the standout big bull of the tour, and it is many a year since a bull of his type has been sourced.
