CARD Uproar

Homozygous Black/Heterozygous Polled A high-powered Simmental improvement option from the nowdeceased Remington Secret Weapon and a powerful full sister to Uproar, this headliner is one of the best in our deepest-ever crop of bulls! He presents a unique blend of proven genetics, great looks, and top performance that should be hard to ignore. This thick-ended, easy-moving purebred posted one of the heaviest actual weaning numbers despite just a 74 lb BW and he recorded a very strong early WDA as well. The full brother to his dam is one of the most popular bulls we’ve ever produced due to the consistency and premium quality of his progeny like the daughter that was recently selected as the Supreme Champion Female of both the Wisconsin State Fair and World Beef Expo. This is quite a sire prospect but just one of the Secret Weapon reasons to Trust the Program!

Horned Talk about an exciting set of Simmental bulls! This embryo son of our NAILE and NWSS-winning female, Apple Blossom 245X, is one of two fantastic powerhouses in this flush - his full brother is Lot 3 - and just what we expected from this combination. He is incredibly good looking – like both of his parents – and extra stout with a great shape and turn to his top and hip. His low BW and strong 205d weight are only two more reasons to love this head-turner that should be a real premium machine!

Lot 3

Homozygous Black/Homozygous Polled The flush brother to Lot 2 and a real Simmental powerhouse! This guy recorded the second-heaviest number at 205 days and he has done nothing but get even more massive and impressive. The ground shakes when he sets down his big paws because this one moves with real authority. He is one of the thickest, widest-bodied bulls we’ve seen and he will also be a leader for testicle size and docility. This is a great beef bull that will make a hallmark female sire.
