+ T184’s superb calving interval of 357 days is indicative of her excellent fertility. T184 also records 11-117 IMF ratio. + T184 was selected to serve as a donor because of her fertility, superior udder quality, and progeny performance – traits that run strong in this cow family. She’s that extraordinary cow that can raise a whopper of a calf with a remarkably tidy udder! T184 has proven she has earned a spot among the most elite donors at Hoover Angus! + We held T184 out of production last year to bank some embryos, and her production allowed us to do just that – her flush yielded 33 Grade 1 embryos! She’s the top embryo-producing cow in our history! She will quickly become one of the most impactful cows of recent times! + T184’s first son was the #1 weaning weight bull of his crop, and the 2 nd top-selling bull of our 2022 sale to repeat customer John Orr at $20,000. + T184’s 2022 son was the 6 th top weaning weight bull of his crop and had the #1 CED and CEM EPDs in our 2023 sale. This featured bull sold for $10,500 to long-time repeat customer Roger Cerven. He was super stout, slick haired, and long. + Repeat customer Dan Olson had the winning bid of $8000 to buy T184’s daughter – she’s a beautiful gal! + Sons of T184 in our 2024 sale sold to LeRoy & Lane Stortenbecker, BJ & Wyatt Thompson, and Roger Cerven. Thompson’s bull was the #1 IMF bull of our sale! + T184 scanned an 8.76 IMF, ratio 201 to be the #1 IMF heifer of her crop! + Grandam R92 served as one of the herd’s top IMF ratio cows with a whopping 5-133 IMF ratio! R92 maintained a 366 day calving interval. + Great grandam L299 had a 362 day calving interval on her 8 calves when she was lost to an injury. + Searching back through this cow line you will find the C109 cow, who served as the herd’s 13 th top indexing cow at the time of her passing – the oldest cow on this prestigious list! She recorded 10-97 BWR, 10-109 WR, 10-106 YR with a 361 day calving interval on 11 pregnancies (a set of high performing twins are not included in her ratios). She was the dam of the $25,000 Hoover Headliner. Yearling heifers have blank boxes for yearling weight and ultrasound data. This data will be available 1 week prior to the sale at http://hooverangus.com/sales.html. Sale order should be posted online by the evening of January 31 at the same location, or on our page at DVAuction where our videos will be located.

+ C73 exemplifies the consistency we have found in this flush of T184 X General Lee. C73 is wide based and has that cow look to her already. + C73 ties as the #1 Milk EPD open heifer selling! + Check out the adjusted weaning weight on this gal! She tied as the #1 weaning ET heifer of the crop and tied as the 2nd heaviest among all calves of the crop (ET and non-ET)! C73 was an IVF ET calf, and despite her tremendous growth, all of her ratios will be 100. + Pathfinder donor dam T184 is a 16 th generation Blackcap Empress Ellston female to be bred, born, and raised by the Hoover family, starting with herd founder Walt Hoover! They trace back to Walt’s foundational sire, Revolution’s Bell Boy, who sired calves naturally until 14 years of age. + T184 is the kind of cow that can knock it out of the park every year with her progeny. She’s a low birth weight cow whose calves get right up and grow rapidly. She is the 12 th top indexing cow of the Hoover herd! Embryos by T184 sell on page 77.
