■ 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.

■ 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.

■ The ALLIED “go to” bull for large volume commercial heifer breeding projects, ask about the great ALLIED/ORIgen volume discounts.

■ After another year of progeny data, Premier has held steady on CE and BW EPDs but continues to climb in performance and carcass EPDs; he just keeps getting better with more progeny data.

■ Rounding out his genetic value are his big-volume, great-uddered, attractive daughters.

■ Truly a commercial cattleman’s kind of bull that will net more total dollars to the bank account.

■ Stop looking at his photo and look at the powerhouse sons that commercial cattlemen love, look at the daughters that are as sweet and productive as any in the pasture, and look at his amazing performance and off the charts carcass value.

■ No other bull in the breed does a better job of producing post-weaning gain, marbling, ribeye size, and tenderness.

■ The breeder looking for a sire that can consistently produce below breed average birth weight, high-performance and carcass scans, plus super looking daughters needs to look no further.

■ As a two-year-old, has developed into the same sound structured, massive middle, impressive look as his great sire.

■ Large number of calves on the ground last fall out of young cows with no large birth weights and developing into the kind of birth to weaning spread that his numbers predicted.

■ Backed by the highest performance SimAngusTM cow family in the Gibbs Farms herd and directly out of the best ROOKIE daughter in the herd.

■ Emerged from a large contemporary group with intimidating individual performance ratios as follows: WW 108, YW 111, IMF 114, and REA 117.

■ Graduate has become a household name as a high-accuracy, calving-ease SimAngusTM sire.

■ Consistently produces added growth, high post-weaning gain, and extreme REA for such a low BW, high CE sire.

■ His daughters round out his elite genetic package with top ranking docility, high maternal EPDs, very sound teat/udder structure, and a super pleasing cow look.

■ Experienced cattlemen have commented “He’s the best thing since sliced bread”, Graduate is destined to be one of the great cow producing bulls of the breed.

■ 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.

Van Meter, IA Mike Henderson • 515-450-1066 Rex Hoppes • 515-250-4651 www.advancedbeef.com

■ 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.
