CONNEALY SHAMROCK #19251962
Connealy Shamrock was our top selection from the 2019 Connealy Angus Sale. A phenotypic stud! Shamrock is masculine, heavy muscled, thick quartered and stands on great feet. Shamrock is sound structured and free moving with excellent libido and has covered big groups of cows here the past several years.
Maybe his greatest strength, Shamrock is a son of Elbanna of Conanga 1209. 1209 is widely considered the greatest cow ever raised at Connealy Angus and the mother of many herd sires including Confidence Plus. Shamrock daughters are moderate sized, wedge shaped, and come with excellent udders.

Haynes Headliner 1267 was the top selling bull in the 2022 Haynes Sale in Ogallala, Nebraska. Headliner was a standout individual ratioing 119 for weaning and 113 for yearling in a large contemporary group. Headliner is an extremely deep ribbed bull that is square made and carries muscle deep into his lower quarter. Look for Headliner progeny to grow rapidly and for his daughters to make fertile, productive mother cows.
HEIFER PREGNANCY (HP) EPD
Use Heifer Pregnancy (HP) EPDs to compare sires ability to sire fertile replacement females! Heifer pregnancy EPDs are to be used as a tool to increase the chance of a sire’s daughters becoming pregnant during a normal breeding season. A higher EPD is the more favorable direction for selection pressure. As with other EPDs, the relative difference among sires is of importance rather than the absolute value.
Figure 1 provides an example of the use of heifer pregnancy EPDs. Assume there are 100 daughters for each of the two bulls, managed and treated alike in the same breeding environment. When comparing the two bulls, one would expect an average of 5 more pregnant daughters out of 100 from Bull A compared with Bull B. Essentially Bull A’s daughters have a 5% greater chance of becoming pregnant than Bull B’s daughters. Figure 1. HP EPD example (Bull A +13% • Bull B +8% • Difference 5%)
