2017 Bull Calves

BK Horseshoe Acclaim 637 is a great bull calf by Jindra Acclaim and out of a Danny Boy daughter. Jindra Acclaim was a featured and high selling bull at the 2015 Jindra Angus Bull Sale in Nebraska. He offers calving ease with exceptional performance and maternal strength. Nick Jindra describes him as, “long, thick, deep and just flat good. He’s a favorite all of the way around.” His first calf dam is a beautiful Impression daughter with a great udder. Look for Acclaim to lead the next generation of high performance sires. This calf is out of a Danny Boy daughter, who is a well-known calving ease bull that will produce calves with lots of growth. He’s very correct on his feet and legs and walks very freely in his stride. BK Horseshoe Acclaim 637 was born 12/21/16 and has a BW EPD of .2, WW EPD of 59 and YW EPD of 103. $3,000

BK Thunderbird 714 is by our Thunderbird son, BK Thunderbird 308, and he is out of BB Erica 4057, a daughter of EXAR Expand 1241. SAV Thunderbird 9061, was a featured lot and one of the high selling bulls of the record-setting 2010 Schaff Angus Valley Bull Sale, St. Anthony, SD. Thunderbird took top honors as the #1 calving ease bull of the entire calf crop at Schaff Angus Valley; recording a BW EPD of -0.9 with a 66# active; birth weight and a weaning EPD in the breed’s top 1% and a yearling EPD in the breed’s top 2%. He earned a 205-day weight of 944 lbs for a weaning ratio of 104, as his dam’s first calf. Backed by generations of great females from the Emblynette family established at SAV over 60 years ago. Thunderbird stacks the breed leading genetics of the popular calving ease sire, SAV Final Answer and SAV Bismarck. Thunderbird blends the best in phenotype and pedigree with second-to-none EPDs in an attractive and impressive package with depth, thickness and soundness of structure.

BK Danny Boy 720 is by BK Danny Boy 908 and out of BK Ms Blackcap 303. Everyone loves their Danny Boy calves. His calves come really light and show excellent growth. They are really sharp and eye appealing with a lot of show potential if that is what you are looking for. As of July 2006 this 7 frame sire had over 1,000 calves with a birth weight ratio of 98 making him a very reliable heifer bull. The Danny Boy bulls were a highlight in this year’s Vermilion Bull Sale. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed. BK Ms Blackcap 303 is a great cow by SAV 004 Predominant 4438 and is out of a SAF Connection daughter. Predominant is a bull that is putting quality back into cow herds. He’s a moderate framed bull with loads of muscle and volume making great, easy fleshing cows. Predominant keeps birth weights low, But his calves still have great thickness; and ratio 101 for weaning and 102 for yearling weight. In addition, they are neat through the front end and have superior structure and phenotype. His dam is one of the top donors in the SAV program. BK Danny Boy 720 was born 1/22/17 and has a -.4 BW EPD. $3,000

 BK 308 Thunderbird 731, “Leon,” will make a great heifer bull. He is out of Anna’s cow, and show heifer, BK Lassie 447, “Daisy.” BK Lassie 447 is our first heifer of the calving season. She is by Connealy Confidence 0100 and is out of B&K Susie 317.  Connealy Confidence is out of Connealy Tobin and Becka Gala of Conanga 8281. Confidence is the high-selling bull from the 2011 Connealy sale and with his 13 for CED, 40 $W and nearly 80 $B, he’s one of the most unique bulls available in the Angus breed. His blend of style, calving ease potential, genomically-enhanced carcass numbers and a Thunder X Bextor dam that’s truly a model Angus female make Confidence deserving of heavy sampling. She was born 12/23/14. The kids named her Daisy. Daisy is owned and shown by Anna.
