Simply put, the breed still finds security in her influence.
Her most celebrated daughter, Sandpoint Blackbird 8809, is a cornerstone of modern Angus genetics. Across the past eight Vintage Angus Ranch sales alone, 30 daughters of 8809 have commanded $3.7 million in total revenue, averaging an incredible $123,916 per head. That kind of consistency, over time, is nearly unmatched. But this cow line isn’t just about donor daughters—8809 has made big waves in the stud catalogs. She is the dam of breed-shaping bulls like: VAR Generation 2100, VAR Index 3282, Vintage Commander 4152, VAR Ranger 3008, VAR Foreman 3339, VAR Complete 1209, VAR Reserve 1111 and VAR Power Play 7018, who sold for $730,000 for half interest to Rooney Angus. These sons have fueled a genetic revolution, generating significant semen sales across the U.S. and internationally. With over 10 bulls in active stud service and even more in production across leading herds, the Blackbird 4301 line is not slowing down.
Her legacy isn’t just measured in dollars or EPDs—it’s seen in the consistency of her descendants, the demand for her genetics, and the continued trust breeders place in this foundation cow family.
