Angus
The release of the Fall 2008 Sire Summary has once again shown that Accelerated Genetics is the source for breed leading Angus Sires.
014AN00257 Net Present Value solidified his position as a new generation calving ease sire. His CED and BW rank in the top 3% of the breed. His performance and maternal traits rank in the top 30% or higher while his carcass traits for MARB and REA are in the top 25%. His $Wean at +32.16 ranks in the top 3%. NPV is becoming the bull of choice for many progressive breeders and commercial cattlemen.
014AN00272 Bando 1961 was the number one bull for sales this spring at Accelerated Genetics. His offspring are exceptional and were some of the highlights of the spring sale season.
014AN00250 Rito 2V1 continues to be a leader for performance and carcass merit. Two sons were added to our lineup this spring. 014AN00310 Lexington is a son of GAR Precision 706, making him a maternal brother to three of the top $Beef sires of the breed.
014AN00318 NFI was the standout of the Midland Bull Test in Montana. He was the Number 1 Angus bull on test for Feed Efficiency. In addition, he was one of the top gaining bulls with an overall test index of 116. His phenotype along with his genetic potential has him on the “must use” list for breeders across the country.
For exceptional performance and muscle, look to the three “P’s” at Accelerated Genetics,
014AN00262 Power Stroke,
014AN00270 Performer and
014AN00271 Predominant. These sires will add muscle along with exceptional performance.
The lineup at Accelerated Genetics is stacked with elite “Curve Bending” sires. Proven sires with a wide Birth to Yearling spread include
014AN00231 Alliance 9126,
014AN00275 Triple J Design,
014AN00298 Boom Time and
014AN00300 Reflection.
An exciting group of young curve benders were added this spring. They are

Overall, 64 sires rank in the top 25% for WW and YW. Compliment this with 39 sires ranking in the top 25% for Calving Ease and 34 in the top 25% for low BW.
The Angus sires at Accelerated Genetics are truly at the forefront of the breed when consideration the selection indexes. Nearly 50 sires are in the top 25% for $Wean. Over 60 are in the top 25% for $Feedlot. Almost 40 are in the top 25% for $Grid and 55 broke the top 25% for $Beef.
Red Angus
Although now deceased,
014AR02022 Make Mimi is still making an impact. He was the #3 bull for registrations in the breed this past year.
His son,
014AR02034 Makin Hay is the logical replacement for his sire. With superior calving ease (+10 CED and -1.7 BW) and exceptional performance, he is the new generation of curve bending sires. We saw his YW jump ten pounds with the new data. Add to this his maternal traits in the top 25% and his solid carcass traits he is sure to be on the breeding list for many progressive breeders.
014AR02028 Conquest continues to be a favorite for calving ease and moderate mature size. His CED ranks in the top 2% while his BW of -2.7 is in the top 15%.
014AR02032 Flat Iron, with his +16 CED (top 2%) and -3.8 BW (top 10%) make him a logical choice to use on heifers for outcross genetics this fall.
014AR02025 Ribeye reigns as the #5 bull in the breed for Ribeye Area EPD at +0.62 and is positive for MARB at +0.05. His progeny are deep bodied and powerful.
014AR02020 8000 continues to be the ultimate Curve Bender in the Red Angus breed. No active sire can match his spread from -1.8 BW to +46 WW and +81 YW. In addition, he ranks high for Heifer Pregnancy at +15 and Stayability at +12.
Hereford
This spring, Accelerated Genetics added another exciting young sire to the breed’s most powerful lineup of Hereford sires.
014HP01015 Red House was the elite young sire to sell in the fall of 2007. He topped the Knoll Crest Farms Bull Sale in Virginia. His EPD profile is unmatched in the breed. He ranks in the top 3% CED, 20% BW, 3% WW & YW, 25% Milk, 5% M&G, 10% CEM, 1% SC and MARB. He is in the top 1% for all of his $Indexes. His dam is the number one $CHB female in the breed.
014HP01009 World Class continues to solidify himself as the class of the Hereford breed. He is 11-way Trait Leader, excelling in nearly every EPD in the Sire Summary. In addition, he is now recognized as a Sire of Distinction (SOD) and a Certified Hereford Beef Sire (CHBS). Few sires in the Hereford breed can match the balance of performance, maternal and carcass traits that World Class offers.
014HP01007 Prospector is the number one YW sire at Accelerated Genetics at +105. He was also named a Certified Hereford Beef Sire (CHBS) this spring. He remains a 10-way trait leader in the breed.
Simmental
Three Red sires are featured in our lineup this fall.
014SM03040 Red Caesar is a moderated framed, muscular son of the breed legend, Red Coat. The fall data saw his growth number increase to +49.8 WW and +81.5 YW.
014SM03031 Real Deal is a high growth, high maternal sire who is a breed leader for muscle. His REA of +1.02 is at the pinnacle of the Simmental breed.
014SM03033 Scarlet Dreams is now a BW Trait Leader with a -2.6. His CED of +14.1 makes him a logical choice for heifers.
For carcass genetics at the forefront of the breed, look at
014SM03042 Escalade. A curve bending sire with high marbling genetics would describe
014SM03046 Kaboom.
014SM03041 Too Black is a black, Red Coat son from the same family as the Denver Champion,
014SM03028 Venom.
Two of the best Sim/Angus bulls reside at Accelerated Genetics.
014SM03035 Frontier N13 is a son of
014AN00223 New Frontier. His indexes rank him in the top 2% for API and top 1% for TI.
014SM03038 Major League is a son of
