The only son of Vanguard in the Express Grand Champion Carload of Bulls at the 2025 Cattlemen’s Congress was a “crowd favorite” of many in attendance after three sons of EXAR Vanguard were the Reserve Early Calf Pen of Three Bulls of the 2023 Cattlemen’s Congress where EXAR Forerunner set the standard with his 19.8 square inches of URE, that was best of the 2022 Express calf crop, and EXAR Garrison did the same with his adjusted 365 day weight of 1,598 pounds which was topped by another son of Vanguard at the ranch that recorded the highest of this Express calf crop at 1,674 pounds adjusted 365 day weight and Vanguard sold two-thirds interest for $140,000 in the Express Spring 2021 Bull Sale after being one of the most popular bulls on the grounds at the 2021 Cattlemen’s Congress.

As of the start of 2025, there are 390 progeny of Vanguard genomic tested with 214 head with an average weaning ratio of 103 and 106 yearlings with an average ratio of 103 and his first 16 daughters in production have an average weaning ratio of 101 on their first calves.

A maternal sister to Vanguard sold half interest for $130,000 to Pollard Farms in the 2021 Big Event at Express and his donor dam that has recorded the NUMBER 1 Weaning Weight EPD and the NUMBER 1 Yearling Weight EPD among ALL active dams in America’s largest registered Angus seedstock operation for many years and this son of the very popular and widely-used Growth Fund offers the most dominant growth genetics available from ORIgen.
