In Australia we have been so pleased with the performance, docility and overall phenotype and soundness of Sydgen Trust. The 2014 Inspection of Trust and his dam continued to confirm Trust’s overall genetic value and appeal. What we did not expect to find was a son that did everything Trust did and then a little bit more! Black Pearl, is that bull, he commands the same attention with his placid nature, soundness of movement and structure and overall delightful phenotype. And then Black Pearls EPDS takes all the EPD performance to another level, more carcass, more growth but with the same CE, fertility with good positive fats. Black Pearl, like his sire exhibits a placid quiet nature. 2015 - The standout yearling sale bulls at Sydenstrickers were Black Pearl and Big Medicines (a maternal brother to Black Pearl). The bull Black Pearl had grown out into a larger framed, long bodied, docile sound bull. Expect great progeny to come.
