Genetics that have stood the test of time, Black Pearl sired the $24,500 top-selling bull of the 2021 SydGen Fall Sale with his only son in the sale offering and Black Pearl has been especially popular in Australia and New Zealand for his fleshing ability, strength of fore-rib and overall body capacity along with solid feet and leg structure and few sires can match Black Pearl’s combination of Calving Ease Direct EPD, growth, Docility score EPD and the bio-economic index values, and his many daughters in production show exceptional teat and udder structure.

While compiling an average weaning ratio of 111 and an average yearling ratio of 112 on her two natural calves, his dam produced six sons that have served as SydGen herd sires led by Black Pearl who blew away his contemporaries as a yearling with ratios of 116 for average daily gain, 113 for adjusted 365-day weight, 129 for % intramuscular fat and 127 for ribeye area measure with an adjusted 365-day measure of 18.3 square inches, and his added muscle is both unusual and valuable in a high accuracy sire that can be used with confidence for breeding virgin heifers.

Maternal brothers to Black Pearl include the SydGen herd sires BCA Patriarch and BCA Jack Black who sired the Missouri State Fair Grand Champion SydGen Big Branch whose son was the $28,000 half interest top bull calf in 2020 and SydGen Anita 8611 is also the dam of the $34,000 past SydGen top-seller SydGen Big Medicine 1779 and his $10,000 flush brother that had the top adjusted yearling weight of their calf crop at SydGen.T
