ERICA OF ELLSTON C86 – Lot 170
★ T220 has already put four bulls in the Alta bull stud, including BA7 Oaks Bold Ruler, the lead-off bull in the 2024 and 2025 Alta Genetics catalog. Bold Ruler boasts a $Maternal and $Combined Value well above the best 1% of the breed! ★ A T220 son topped the 2023 Baldridge Performance Angus Sale at $100,000. ★ T220’s progeny grossed over $200,000 before she turned 4 years of age (10-fold gain on investment from the group’s purchase price of $20,000)! T220 serves as a working donor for several of the most progressive Angus herds in the country. ★ Dam R96 is in a league of her own – she is the third consecutive Pathfinder donor cow in a row – an exceptionally rare find in the Angus breed today! Embryos from R96 sell on page 76. ★ Despite stealing a flush after each of her first 3 calvings, R96 still achieved an amazing 356 day calving interval! This cow family exemplifies fertility. ★ Numerous R96 progeny have come to the top of their crop for phenotype, weaning weight and IMF. Her 2020 son was the #1 WW ET bull of his crop and went on to be the #1 yearling weight bull of our 2021 sale, where he was the Lot 1 featured bull and 3 rd top-selling bull of the event. The year prior, R96’s super stout son was the #1 IMF scanning bull of our sale. R96 records an impressive 19-109 IMF ratio. ★ R96 is the 3 rd top indexing cow in the Hoover herd with a whopping 5-111 wean ratio! R96’s 16 progeny to come to auction have grossed over $229,000! Eleven of her progeny have been photo features. ★ Pathfinder donor grandam M38 was the highest indexing daughter of G366, the cow regarded as the best cow in our 97-year history! M38 was at one time the #1 indexing cow of the Hoover herd with the tremendous growth she puts into her calves. She served as a working donor until 11 years of age. ★ At 10 years of age, M38’s progeny and grand progeny led-off our 2023 sale catalog and included the 2 nd and 3 rd top-selling bulls! ★ M38 has been a fertile cow, recording a 355 day calving interval on her first 5 calves before we pulled her out of production for a year to flush her. She is an icon in the herd for her unbeatable depth of body and broodiness. She makes feminine daughters and masculine bulls. See M38’s picture on page 46. ★ M38’s full sister working as a Pathfinder donor made Hoover Angus history when her embryos were one of the first two Hoover cows to have embryos exported to Australia. ★ The Ericas have had a tremendous impact on genetic superiority at Hoover Angus in recent decades. In our 2021 auction, of the 8 animals that hit the $20,000+ price tag, 6 of them were from the Erica cow family. They have truly done a phenomenal job! ★ Please read about great grandam G366 in the box on page 7. Lots 5-15, 17, 80- 83 and 86 bulls in today’s sale all descend from G366 – check them out and see pictures on pages 6-10 from this cow family. Females Lots 108-112 and 167-173 descend from G366.
