#19437622 SydGen Blueprint x Whitlock 179 x Connealy Courage 25L x Summit 956

The top selling bull in our Nov 2020 sale, selling a 50% semen interest to Genex. For years we have strived to raise Angus whose numbers and phenotype align. Architect represents the best combination of phenotypic power and numeric excellence we have produced to date. His maternal lineage represents 5 generations of nearly perfect-uddered, small-teated cows from the Blossom family. Architect sired 40 cows naturally in 40 days last summer. We expect 80 natural/AI born Architect calves this spring.

Semen available through Genex

#18159105 Tehama Revere x S Summit 956 x Shipwheel Chinook The Thrive sons were the high averaging sire group17 at $8188 in our 2020 sale. His impressive progeny are big bodied, thick made cattle with extra performance and carcass quality. Thrive’s dam is a model Summit daughter with a tidy, small teated udder and is one of our highest indexing pathfinder cows with 7/107 WR and 6/109 YR. Thrive daughters have set the benchmark for mothering ability and disposition. After calving out Thrive daughters for two years it appears that he will consistently improve disposition, while maintaining quality udders.
