Born a lean 65 pounds on 11/29/25, BK 2524 Bandit 537 wasted no time growing into a completely different kind of bull — the stout, deep-bodied, plenty-of-natural-muscle-and-thickness kind. Power, performance, and practical genetics all come together in this one.

He’s sired by Penz Bandit 2524, a bull known for putting added muscle, depth of body, structural soundness, and real growth into his calves — exactly the traits commercial producers keep coming back for. 537 is proof of concept: the type of herd sire that can add pounds to your calf crop while still leaving behind functional, easy-keeping daughters.

His dam, Traynhams Barbara J2290, started out as a fancy show heifer Anna bought — so 537 comes from good taste as well as good genetics. Barbara is sired by Connealy Emerald, the top-selling bull from the 2019 Connealy spring bull sale, admired for his soundness, body mass, and performance, backed by a 143 IMF ratio and a 117 RE ratio. Emerald’s own dam, a maternal sister to Connealy Intrinsic, was a perfect-uddered, ultra-stylish female tabbed “Pick of the Dams” at that same Connealy sale. Barbara herself, born 2/26/21, is out of a Traynhams Upshot 3846 daughter.

Add it up and 537 checks the boxes Angus breeders are after right now — multi-trait balance with real maternal and phenotypic quality behind him.
