271B was retained at Red Hill. We had not kept a Red Angus bull in several years for our own use, but we
decided the time was right with this young prospect. As most observers of our program have noticed, we
have used several Beckton bulls over the years. After two-years of studying the sires at Beckton Stock Farm,
we identifi ed S107 as a bull that had some intangible traits that might benefi t our breeding program – short
and slick hair, extra rib and body, good feet and a calm disposition. We chose to sample him in our program.
S107 sired some very nice sons and daughters, but it was not until this second generation that we found an
S107 bred bull to use more heavily in our program. 271B is linebred to Beckton Julian 7526 – he traces back
to 7526 fourteen times (eight on the top of his pedigree and six on the bottom).
As scan time approached in the fall of 2015, 271B caught the eye of Bart and Gordon. He displayed excep-
tional feet and design with extra thickness and dimension. He was fi rst out of 15 contemporary bulls for
%IMF while being above average for REA and Yearling Weight. His hair is short and testicles are excellent.
271B’s sire, 190Z, is an S107 son that sold in our 2014 sale to L. J. Watson (KY). We had used 190Z the
fall prior to the sale to clean up our Red Angus heifers. 190Z’s dam is the only daughter of LT142 in the Red
Hill herd. She is from our popular and productive Barmaid cow family and has consistently weaned above
average calves.
271B’s dam, 195Z, is an S107 daughter that is a light-colored cow with a nice udder. She had 271B as a
two-year-old and she has calved in both 2015 and 2016. Calving interval of 354 days. 195Z’s dam, 204X, is a
double bred B571. 204X has calved regularly and produced four heifers retained by Red Hill. She is also from
the same cow family as RHF-CCCH P707 Nebula 1A, a bull used for two seasons at Red Hill and co-owned
with Holman and Rogers (NC).
At Red Hill we see the importance of collecting all the data, all the time. The more we collect, the more we are
excited about the impact 271B can have on our program.
