Special Edition was the 4th top weaning weight bull of his crop at 925 pounds! He is a smooth, good looking bull with a tight sheath and excellent feet. His feet have held up extremely well, even as a 6 year-old bull!

Special Edition has an amazing amount of style and eye appeal for a bull that displays optimal calving ease and pushes the upper limits for growth. He is a rare find! He also has an outcross pedigree for the vast majority of today's Angus genetics.

We are impressed by the Special Edition calves having outstanding growth and eye appeal. Even with a relatively small sampling of calves his first year, a Special Edition daughter was the 4th top weaning weight heifer of our spring 2020 crop, and a son was among the top 15 weaning weight bulls! Reports from other states on Special Edition calves send similar reports.

Pathfinder dam N473 has an excellent record of productivity and fertility — she has a 362 day calving interval on her 7 calves with 7-100 BWR, 7-106 WR, and 6-104 YR. Her four sons have averaged an 856 pound weaning weight! A full brother to Special Edition was the #1 IMF scanning bull of his crop.

N473 was a high performing female herself — she had a BW 67 lbs., WW 733 lbs., WR 106, YW 1010 lbs., YR 103, IMF 4.58, ratio 112, ribeye 11.7”, ratio 98. She was the 8th top weaning weight heifer of her crop!

Grandam K264 is a nice uddered cow that has raised several top weaning weight calves. K264 had solid individual performance as her dam's first calf — WW 699 lbs., WR 113, YW 1096 lbs., YR 109. She was the 12th top weaning weight heifer of her crop.

Pathfinder great grandam H232 has raised several other top weaning weight calves in addition to K264. One daughter was the 6th top weaning weight, #1 IMF heifer of her crop.

Special Edition is backed by six consecutive generations of high ratioing, highly productive females with superior udder quality. Sixth generation dam 458 was one of the last cows purchased by Hoover Angus — since her purchase, we have been a closed cow herd. 458 ended her career with 14-97 BWR, 14-108 WR, and she served as a donor for us. She weaned four sons or daughters that were the 2nd, 4th, 5th, and 6th top adjusted weaning weight bull or heifer calves of their respective crops! One daughter earned Pathfinder status. 458 had a beautiful udder the day she went to town.

High quality semen is available for $25/straw and $40/certificate through Hoover Angus. Special Edition was to be the lead-off bull in our 2019 sale, but one month prior to our sale, he got injured and had not fully recovered by sale time. It may have been a blessing in disguise, because his calves at Hoover Angus have proven very nice!
