We had high expectations for Tesla when he sold to long-time cus-
tomers, Shaw Ranch in Joes, Colorado, who’ve been great partners
on more than one “Front-End” herd bull. I think it’s safe to say that
as a sire, Tesla has exceeded all of our wildest hopes. Bull after bull
after bull stepping up and hitting it out of the park, just like 639F who
bridges the gap between the easiest calving 4% of Red Angus with the
Lot 12 fastest gaining 3%. With 11 traits in the top 15%, it’s no surprise he shares elite
status for both HerdBuilder & GridMaster.

More live calves and more unassisted births from your 2-year-olds
usually translates to quicker breed back and a higher percentage of
calves weaned. Count on all that from Loverboy and more. Sure, he’s
a best 2% calving ease specialist but he still packs triple digit growth
and top 10% post-weaning gain. Better yet, he comes with elite cow
herd building traits thanks in no small part to his moderate, sound
Larry and Jean in Iceland easy-keeping 937Z dam.

We switch gears a little as lots 14 & 15 are Triumph sons. Remem-
ber, Tesla and Triumph are half-brothers and when you look at the
amazing EPD tabulation of 437F, you’ll see strong family resemblance
especially when studying those traits that dictate cow/calf profi tability
such as calving ease, maternal calving ease and Stayability. Two highly
productive grandams support that very maternal prediction with the
Lot 14 105 MPPA “801” and the 103 MPPA “462.”
