General Lee has been used heavily in the 2023-2024 breeding programs at Hoover Angus, and his first set of sons were 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.

General Lee’s oldest daughters will calve for the first time in the spring of 2025, and we are anxious to get them in production, as we expect them to be well-mannered, beautiful uddered females. These females that had excellent fertility are soggy, broody females.

The #1 adjusted weaning weight bull calf of our spring 2023 crop was by General Lee! 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. A large selection of sons and daughters will sell in our February 4, 2025 production sale.

General Lee was a classy, super easy-going bull that met with our approval after seeing him and his mother in person. His feet were some of the best we evaluated in the spring of 2022! He’s long, thick and sound with the rib capacity to make 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!

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!
