Protocol was a standout in our program with exceptional yearling performance at every measurement ratioing 99 for birth, 108 for weaning, 114 for yearling, 118 for IMF, and 107 for ribeye. He’s backed by a tremendous producing cowline where his dam has NR 6@108 and his grandam NR 7@105. Aside from the data, what was most impressive for us was his outstanding phenotype and kind. The bull is long-bodied, big-hipped, and has tremendous structural integrity and foot design. He’s level and balanced from the profile as well and ended up topping our 2014 Bull Sale.

The next test was in production, where he has not disappointed. The sons out of his first calf crop dominated our 2016 Bull Sale and has current progeny ratios of 96 for birth, 100 for weaning, 101 for yearling. He appears to be the leading calving-ease son of his (now-deceased) high-performance sire CCC Merritt 030 featured at Genex CRI. His DNA results have validated both this individual performance and production where he currently ranks in the top 11% of the breed for WW and top 8% for YW.

We have used Upward genetics for his dominant performance and extreme growth. The bulls are easy to sell and the pedigree is name brand to market. Some would argue there is so much growth there, that the Upward cross is almost terminal. We have never used a son for this reason until 2541. We generally try to complimentary mate Upward and Onward genetics to highly maternal bloodlines and this was the case with 2541.

His dam, Sitz Blackbird 107L, is one of the most maternal oriented females we have ever owned with a nursing ratio of 10@104 and a number of daughters in production. Everything she produces is marketable, including five (5) maternal sisters and three (3) full sisters to Upward 2541 in this sale.

This sire has the muscle, power, and stoutness that Upward genetics have built a legacy on. What 2541 brings to the table is a isciplined frame size, added volume and capacity, and strong maternal traits that increase function and decrease maintenance. In his first
calf crop, Upward 2541 produced the 2nd high-selling bull in our 2015 Bull Sale.
