176A is our choice of T189 sons produced to date. He has been a standout in every phase of production. He
was used naturally at Red Hill Farms in the fall of 2014 and bred extremely well in the pasture. 176A excels
in all performance traits in addition to having excellent structural soundness and adaptability to our fescue
environment. 176A is more balanced and eye appealing in his design than his sire.
We have used 176A heavily in our breeding program. His fi rst calves look outstanding and will sell in our
2017 sale “More than a Bull XII.” His daughters are a great set of replacements. The calves observed at B
Lazy T Ranch last summer also appeared to be a very strong set of calves.
176A’s dam, 182W, has produced four exceptional calves – an 84S daughter we retained, an 84S son that
was the top selling bull in 2014, 176A and a 157Y son that sold in 2016. Her ratios are BW 4/102, WW 4/105
and YW 4/105. 182W was fl ushed in the fall of 2014 and 2015. Watch for many more progeny in the future.
176A is owned with B Lazy T Ranch (SD), Grill Cattle Company (SD), and Fick Red Angus (NE).

“Take a look at the largest, most successful commercial operations and you’ll fi nd
crossbreeding is the standard rather than the exception as they exploit maternal het-
erosis to increase production, but mostly in order to reduce cost. Rather than focus
on pounds, they focus on the cost per pound of production, relative to the possible
revenue per pound.”
