Lot 1 GAR Beacon (20871969)

It’s taken us eight years since the Starbuck

Wildfire to rebuild our cow herd without compromising the discipline required to make multi-trait matings. Seeing 332 raise her calf in our native pastures and considering her genetic capacity

to replicate the process for years to come is gratifying. She is a specimen for calving ease, tremendous growth, moderate stature, upper percentile $M and across the board 1% of the Angus breed for end-product merit.
