Angus AI sire for WW

[midtncattle]

If you were looking only at weaning weight what angus AI sires are at the top?

Basin Payweight 107S (Origen) and Pine Ridge Hammer are #1 and 2 according to EPDs, from what I have seen from each sire, I would not argue with either one of them.

Other sires in the top 1% that I have seen calves of and think they are good sires for growth
Limelight (Select Sires)
Sydgen Doc (Origen)
PA Power Tool (Origen)

I hope this helps.

Ive used WMR Timeless 458 ( Accelerated Genetics) seen lots of his calves he works well lots of growth and if you want to retain a few heifers they are good. just weighed 2 bull calves(now steers) today 198 days old 626 and 614 lbs no feed at all ill let you know in 60 days how they perform on feed.

May not have the highest epd but the Prosperity calves I have seen have been massive. He is at select sires

Might check out a new one at Accelerated Genetics. SAV Farmhand 2129. Just left my friends barn to be collected for the next. I hope to have some calves from him next year. +2; +2.7; +70; +129 BW 79, WW 915, YW 1,492
