It would be hard to pick the best Defender son to date, but this WideBody “Hoss” has to be in that conver-
sation. If adding shape and thickness is important to your program, use this best 11% GridMaster, double-
digit calving ease meat-wagon on both cows & heifers
Defender x Right Kind ensures both direct and maternal calving ease, which 45C delivers with best 10% or
better ranks for these antagonistic traits. Whoever buys this bull might need to get fitted for a GridMaster
jacket with his best 1% ranks for Marbling and GridMaster Index.
Lot 9... His sire Independence 560-298Y has
emerged as one of Red Angus’ leading sires for
heifer breeding projects. Ironically, as he has be-
come increasingly used by some of our leading Red
Angus seedstock colleagues, his EPDs continue to
climb. This Independence son has big time perfor-
mance ratios, and a very famous cow family at 5L.
His maternal granddam 1687 is one of the best
Destination daughters to eat grass anywhere and
also the dam of up and coming herd sire, 5L The
Real Deal 1687-143B.
