High Prime 4037 – Progeny Harvest Data

ORIgenBeef — Fri, 15 Mar 2013 19:40:21 +0000

Harvest data collected by the Fair Acres Farm, Harlan, IA on 12/22/2012 demonstrates why HighPrime 4037 is so popular because his progeny bring more dollars to the rail. 14 of 22 High Prime 4037 progeny graded Prime (64%) and 21 of 22 head graded CAB or Prime (95%). Those 22 head earned an average grid premium advantage of $89.00 which was $9.61 better than the other 21 head sired by the other widely used A.I. reference sires in the Angus breed. This data proves that superior carcass genetics pays big and stacking generations of elite end product genetics in matings with High Prime 4037 would be a great selection choice for 2013.
