Fortitude is a good example of our program’s direction. He gives
us extra post-weaning performance and carcass merit but stays in
bounds for calving ease and mature cow size. This bull should also
move us towards the goal of lowering replacement rates as he com-
bines improved Stayability with elite heifer pregnancy rates. His Tradn
Designs dam is as structurally sound as they come and maintains her
Lot 6 body condition on our native eastern Colorado range.

Eros 573F is the 2019 edition of Alisa’s college fund but owning him
will help your cow herd out just as much as Alisa’s future. He is the
lead bull in a strong sire group of Redeem sons that will impress with
their consistent depth of body, soft fl ank and natural thickness. This
will be a tremendous bull to put on a set of cows. He predicts to add
weaning weight, post-weaning gain and improve Yield Grade all while
Lot 7 making daughters with higher heifer breed-up and that stay in the herd longer.

APEX is defi nitely in the running for “best-all-around” with a 14
CED to 101 YW spread and exceptional EPDs for cow herd building
and carcass value traits. He is the fi rst of several excellent Triumph
half-brothers throughout this sale. His 109 MPPA dam weaned her
second calf as a three-year old and is 2 for 2 in producing outstand-
ing bulls for our customers. Last year’s Top Gun son sold to Carmin
Lot 8 Ranch in Snyder, CO.
