176A is our choice of T189 sons produced to date. He was 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 a little larger framed compared to his sire but very balanced and eye appealing in his
design. We have used 176A heavily in our breeding program. His fi rst calves were quite popular in our 2017
sale, and his fi rst daughters are now in production. The 176A daughters are moderate, easy-fl eshing females
with excellent udders and great dispositions.
176A daughters are the kind to make Red Angus the breed of choice for heifer production!
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 bull selling in 2016 sired by 157Y. Her ratios are BW 4/102, WW
4/105 and YW 4/105. 182W was fl ushed in the fall of 2016 – 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.”
