CC&7's first calf crop has been weaned, and we couldn't be more pleased! Calves have excellent growth, muscle, and docile dispositions. Visitors to the farm from many states have picked the CC&7 calves as "the best of the crop". His progeny in six herds have an average 98 Birth Weight Ratio and 104 Wean Ratio!
CC&7's name: Connection, Corona, and all 7 females in his pedigree have either served as a SydGen donor or been the dam of a SydGen donor. Four more cows off the pedigree have also served as donors for Sydenstrickers.
CC&7's sire, Connection, is known for producing progeny with quiet dispositions, and this bull is no exception. At our August 2008 birthday bash, farm visitors were found petting CC&7 calves in the lot--calves that had been weaned for just three weeks!
CC&7 was the top adjusted weaning weight bull in the fall 2006 SydGen offering, and is out of the only Corona daughter in production there. Her first five brothers averaged $5431 as calves. CC&7 went on to post the top ADG at 3.92 lbs./day, ratio 124, the top Yearling Weight at 1,467 lbs., ratio 121, and the top Ribeye measurement at 17.3", ratio 130. He is a 7 frame bull with exceptional length and muscle.
Continuing the tradition of fertility established by his popular sire, CC&7 posted an adjusted scrotal measurement of 40.1 cm, and froze 127 units of high-quality semen at ORIgen on his first collection day, just 5 days past his first birthday. This came after being halter broke just two weeks before being on display nearly a week in Denver!
CC&7 was the first Hoover-owned bull to make a trip to the National Western Stock Show in the display pen area in Janaury 2007. CC&7 was also on display in Denver in 2008.
