Preference has proven he can consistently provide calving ease with the best of all beef bulls regardless of the breed with the added advantage of more mass, muscle and pounds. His dam is a true breed standout and this Baldridge Alternative son is just starting to make his mark.

Post Rock Clock Work 164L8 was our popular 2024 Balancer Futurity Champion. He’s pictured at 22 months after seeing heavy use in the breeding pastures. He is a true product of our breed- ing program as his sire and maternal grandsire are both walking sires at Post Rock and important AI sires for the breed. He represents the core strengths and focus of our breeding program; maternal excellence combined with calving ease, performance, eye appeal, and documented carcass merit. Both his sire and maternal grandsire were recognized as the Reserve Champion sire group winner in 2024 and Grand Champion sire group winner in 2022 respectively, in the American Gelbvieh Foundation Scale and Rail Contest. His donor dam was our high selling female in 2024 to Mark Crane of Black Gold Genetics and is a truly exceptional female in the Balancer breed.

His sire, Payweight 1682, has proven to be a landmark sire in the Angus breed, and Probity is the best breeding son of Payweight in the Payweight in the Balancer breed.
