G
ER has become known as a high accuracy calving
ease sire that works with confidence when mated to heifers
and also as a great
cow maker
sire. H
is daughters are a
little refined as two year olds, typical of a true calving ease
heifer bull
,
but mature into very nice looking cows. Due to
our confidence in SL8GGE5 mated to heifers, he has been
one of our main clean-up sires for our sale bred heifers for
many several years. Due to bringing in several promising
young calving ease prospect sires that
needed proving,
we used SLUG
G
ER a
little less the past two years,
but he is
still at the farm and ready for work. H
e
still remains one of the top calving
ease high accuracy sires at A
BS
G
lobal with a C
E EPD of 2
0.7
and
above breed average for growth
with a STA
Y
EPD in the top 10%
of the breed,
plus he is very
much as outcross sire.

Ranking in the top 1% of the breed for both economic indexes is very rare since an animal must excel extremely high in traits that are generally antagonistic. This outstanding SLUGGER
son gets it done with his very high trait rank of 10% or higher for CE, BW, WW, YW, ADG, MCE, Marb EPD’s. His very interesting outcross genetics makes him a great choice for many of
today’s pedigrees, plus he just looks darn good. His outstanding young dam is one of the =-model cows featured in our sale this year as Lot 357.

The top 1% ranking for YW and ADG EPD’s along with top 1% for TI is no surprise on this BLAC. MASS son because the cow family behind him is loaded with performance. He offers
one of the best birth to yearling EPD spreads in the whole sale offering, making him a good choice for an operation looking to add some performance without risking adding birth weight or
calving issues. He may have a little too much power to be considered for use on heifers, but his CE EPD indicates that he should be fine for smaller size cows needing some growth boost.
One last special feature about this young herd sire prospect is that he is a total outcross to all HOO.S SHEAR FORCE and NICHOLS LEGACY pedigrees, making him very usable across a
wide array of the young Simmental influenced cattle today. He does not have a photo in the catalog simply because we were limited on time for getting photos, so look up his video online or
even better, come look him up at the farm on sale day.
