General Lee has been used heavily at Hoover Angus, and his progeny have been very well-accepted at auction, with 15 sons averaging $8633. Our customers appreciated the growth and phenotype of these cattle. With moderate birth weights, General Lee progeny have superior weaning growth, but won't get too big as mature adults. Sons are ideal for our customers selling their calves by the pound at weaning and retaining replacement daughters.

General Lee's oldest daughters calved for the first time in the spring of 2025, and they were well-mannered, beautiful uddered, easy-fleshing females. These females are nicely made and broody. His daughters average a tremendous 102 weaning ratio on their progeny in 9 herds. As a prediction of his daughters’ staying power, General Lee is the #1 Hoover herd sire with daughters in production for the new Functional Longevity EPD at +1.24.

The #1 adjusted weaning weight bull calf of our spring 2023 crop was by General Lee, and then again in our 2025 crop! General Lee had a dominant presence in the heaviest calves of our 2024 crop also. The General Lee sire group represents what is often lost as our breed chases extreme EPDs – problem-free cattle that are easy to look at and have a breed character Angus head. Sons and daughters will sell in our February 2, 2027 production sale.

General Lee was a classy, super easy-going bull that met with our approval after seeing him and his mother in person. He's long, thick and sound with the rib capacity that makes beautiful, productive daughters. General Lee is a big testicle bull that froze semen quickly at CGS as a yearling bull. He weaned at 801 pounds, WR 110, YW 1438 lbs., YR 106, and he scanned over 1.1" of ribeye per hundred pounds of body weight! In our fall 2024 crop, General Lee sired the #1 ribeye scanning female and #1 ribeye scanning bull!

General Lee lives up to his Docility EPD near the top of the breed, and we are excited to use him to continue the tradition of disposition excellence at Hoover Angus! Also important to Hoover Angus customers, he has a tight sheath and slick hair coat for working on tough fescue pastures.

General Lee's dam, which comes from the most famous cow line in Mohnen history, has a very small teat size, tight udder attachment, and is a massive-bodied, ideal Angus female. As always, Hoover Angus is proud to show you our cattle – stop by Hoover Angus to see General Lee in person!
