Ambition was so named because of his ambitious growth – he was the #1 adjusted weaning weight bull calf of the 2015 Hoover crop at 919 pounds! A beautiful flush sister to Ambition was the 3rd top adjusted weaning weight ET heifer of the crop. Better yet, Ambition is from the same cow family that has already produced a "Great One", Hoover Dam.

Growth, growth, growth! Ambition has tremendous length, power, mass, and added frame. He is a bigger boned bull that will sire excellent performance. He posted a 1482 pound yearling weight, YR 107. Ambition was the $30,000 second top-selling bull in our 2016 auction to Alta Genetics.

Donor dam L5 is one of our favorites. L5’s first daughter in production weaned the 9th top weaning weight heifer of her crop. L5 records 3-106 WR on her natural progeny and 17-104 IMF ratio and 17-101 ribeye ratio. L5 weaned an 842 pound heifer calf at Baldridges to ratio 107 in a small contemporary group of donor cows’ calves! This daughter went on to sell ½ interest for $30,000.

L5 produced the “Fab Five” set of flush brothers in our 2017 auction that averaged $23,800. Included in the flush was Hoover Top Notch P409 (Select Sires) and Hoover Cut Above P427 (Accelerated Genetics).

L5 was the standout heifer of her crop – she was the #1 adjusted weaning weight, #1 adjusted yearling weight heifer at 779 lbs., WR 116, YW 1160 lbs., YR 114. She turned in a superior scan with a 7.05 IMF, ratio 119, and a 14.6” ribeye, ratio 119. Among 88 contemporaries, she had the 5th largest ribeye scan. Breed average ribeye scan for heifers is currently 9.73”.

Pathfinder grandam G366 – I could write a book on this cow! She is truly one of the most incredible females ever bred on our 91 year-old Angus farm. She has grossed over $200,000 in registered progeny and embryo sales to be our #1 income-producing cow in history. G366 has brought a total of 10 featured progeny to auction and her 16 progeny have averaged over $12,000. She records 8-98 BWR and 8-107 WR with a 365 day calving interval on those 8 progeny. That includes stealing flushes four different years!

Several of G366’s progeny have been among the top weaning weight calves of their crop. L5, mentioned above, was the #1 WW heifer of her crop. The very next year, G366 repeated this accomplishment with another #1 WW daughter. To make it three years running, an ET son claimed #1 WW honors over the entire crop (ET and non-ET progeny) in 2015!

Two of G366’s daughters are the #1 and #2 indexing cows of the entire Hoover herd! G366’s five daughters in production in the Hoover herd have an average 109 WR on their progeny. G366 daughters produced the two lead-off bred heifers in our 2018 auction, selling for $48,000 and $22,000! G366 daughters and granddaughters produced 5 bulls that sold in our 2019 sale averaging $11,950.

G366’s great grandam V65 is the grandam of Hoover Dam. This Erica cow family has put 8 bulls in 6 different AI studs.
