THERE IS ONLY ONE! (And you're looking at him!)
The Red Angus breed has exploded in popularity and risen to occupy the slot of the 5th largest breed in America. In this rapidly expanding breed of cattle, ONLY ONE BULL rises to the very top. Only one. When selecting a herdsire, perhaps the most difficult criteria in selection is attempting to balance antagonistic traits. Often, one is forced to give up one of his desired traits for another, that he deems the more essential. This is unfortunate, but a reality nonetheless. That is, of course, until Basin Hobo 649M. A sire search on the Red Angus Association website of the following criteria (note the number of antagonistic traits represented) reveals not 50 bulls, not 10 bulls, not 5 bulls, but ONLY ONE BULL. Searching the entire Red Angus breed for a bull that meets the following stringent genetic criteria...

• Less than -2 for BW EPD
• Greater than 45 for WW EPD
• Greater than 80 for YW EPD
• Greater than 20 for Milk EPD
• Less than 3 for ME EPD
• Greater than 11 for CED EPD
• Greater than 0.25 for MARB EPD

...will only lead you to just ONE BULL, Basin Hobo 649M. We stand confident that demand for 649M progeny is poised to intensify. Please note, 649M is a black/ red carrier. Genetically, bred to red cows, one should expect 50% of the calves to be black (though we currently see about 2:1 (Red:Black, respectively) from our experience with black/red carriers used on red cows). Should a cow bred to 649M have a black calf, it can be registered as 100% Red Angus, category 2. - Owned with Basin Reds, MT.
