Optics was one of our largest sire groups in 2022 and 2023, and they have not disappointed yet! These calves were fun to wean, as they showed excellent growth and the added frame and length of body our customers like. They represent a completely new pedigree for our repeat customers. If the Angus breed has gotten too small for your liking, check out the Optics progeny!

Optics sired the #1 adjusted weaning weight bull calf of our 2022 crop at 915 pounds and went on to repeat that honor in our 2024 crop! In our 2023 crop, Optics calves performed well — they dominated the top end of our ET bull calf weaning weights, and 2nd top weaning weight heifer of the entire crop was by Optics.

Optics' young daughters are very tight uddered with a very small teat size, which is certainly a good indication that his daughter's udders will last well into old age. His EPDs reflect this superior teat size and suspension. Two Optics daughters are among the top 15 indexing cows of the Hoover herd!

Before we purchased Optics, we saw his dam, grandam, and great grandam, and were impressed with each generation. His grandam has earned Pathfinder honors, and his 2nd, 3rd, and 4th generation dams have all served as donors for Raml Cattle. His great grandam was still going strong at 12 years of age, and she produced the $28,000 Raml Rugby 7103 owned by ABS. She is a beautiful uddered, excellent footed, smooth walking female.

Optics weaned at 812 pounds, WR 112, YW 1420 lbs., YR 113, and had a 41 cm scrotal. He is wide based, thick, smooth shouldered, and offers the frame and stretch that is hard to find in the breed today. Optics quickly froze over 500 units of semen as a yearling bull before turn-out.
