BW 80 lbs., WW 840 lbs., WR 119, YW 1467 lbs., YR 121
IMF 4.20, ratio 94, Ribeye 17.3", ratio 130

WW, YW, Ribeye, Docility, $F and $B all in or above the top 1% of the breed! Over 400 progeny are recorded in 50+ herds. 25 of these herds used him successfully on heifers. After having used CC&7 on heifers for three calf crops of our own, we now safely recommend CC&7 for heifers.

Nineteen CC&7 sons averaged $7187 and sold to six states in our February 3, 2009 production sale. They grabbed the attention of many top cattlemen across the county. The top selling bull in our 81-year history at $47,500 was a CC&7 son named Hoover Dam. Over 60 CC&7 progeny and matings will sell in our February 2, 2010 production sale. Hoover Dam's full sister sells February 2, see photo below. CC&7 and Hoover Dam will be two of ORIgen's top selling bulls for the 2009 year.

CC&7's name: Connection, Corona, and all 7 females in his pedigree have either served as a SydGen donor or been the dam of a SydGen donor. Four more cows off the pedigree have also served as donors for Sydenstrickers.

CC&7 is the undisputed #1 Docility EPD bull in the spring 2010 National Cattle Evaluation! Followed closely behind is his sire, Connection. At our August 2008 birthday bash, farm visitors were found petting CC&7 calves in the lot--calves that had been weaned for just three weeks! We have noticed a difference in the calmness of our calf crops when there is a significant portion of CC&7 calves.

CC&7 was the #1 adjusted weaning weight bull and top selling bull in the fall 2006 Sydenstricker offering. CC&7 went on to post the top ADG at 3.92 lbs./day, ratio 124, the top Yearling Weight at 1,467 lbs., ratio 121, and the top Ribeye measurement at 17.3", ratio 130.

Continuing the tradition of fertility established by his popular sire, CC&7 posted an adjusted scrotal measurement of 40.1 cm, and froze 127 units of high-quality semen at ORIgen on his first collection day, just 5 days past his first birthday. This came after being halter broke just two weeks before being on display nearly a week in Denver!

CC&7 was the first Hoover-owned bull to make a trip to the National Western Stock Show in the display pen area in Janaury 2007. CC&7 was also on display in Denver in 2008.
