N29 originally sold through the 2015 Hoover sale for $23,000 to Steve Borns as the second top-selling bull. In Steve’s dispersal sale in 2017, N29 was purchased by Select Sires for $39,000! N29’s progeny are true low birth weight cattle, and enough progeny have been recorded to be able to easily recommend him for use on virgin heifers. N29 has now earned Pathfinder status for his excellent daughters.

N29 is a full brother to the Erica of Ellston L5 cow that is the dam of Hoover Top Notch P409 (Select Sires), Hoover Cut Above P427 (Accelerated Genetics), and Hoover Ambition (Alta Genetics). She served as a donor for both Hoover Angus and Baldridge Performance Angus.

Pathfinder donor dam G366 regarded as the best cow in Hoover Angus’ 98-year history! G366 maintained a perfect 365 day calving interval on her first 8 natural progeny, before we pulled her out of production for a year to flush her. This calving interval even included stealing flushes four different years! At 12 years of age, G366’s udder was still phenomenal! She recorded 9-98 BWR, 9-107 WR, and 7-107 YR.

G366 brought a total of 12 featured progeny to auction including one that was the #1 adjusted weaning weight bull of his crop. Registered progeny sales have totaled $238,000 to make her one of the top income producing cows in our history!

Four direct daughters of G366 and one son have earned the Pathfinder designation, as well as more descendants! She gets edged out on number of Pathfinder daughters by her daughter L5 who has a whopping six Pathfinder daughters! At least 15 of G366’s daughter descendants have served as donors.

G366 herself weaned at 716 lbs., WR 120 to be the 4th top weaning weight heifer of her crop and went on to post a 1020 pound yearling weight. She scanned a 6.79 IMF, ratio 131 and an 11.5” ribeye, ratio 115. As a yearling heifer, G366 was one of the top 10 WW EPD females in the breed!

G366’s great grandam V65 is the grandam of Hoover Dam.

This Erica cow family has put numerous bulls in AI studs, and now her great granddaughter Erica of Ellston T220 is making a large impact on the breed.
