Honors at Midland!
A second Hoover Angus female has now had the honor of producing the top-selling bull at the prestigious Midland Bull Test! Several years ago, 11 year-old Miss Blackcap Ellston J2 (also the mother of Hoover No Doubt), produced the $158,000 Sterling Bond 007 selected by ST Genetics. The 2026 Midland Bull Test Sale was topped by 7 Oaks Crosswind N513, a son of Erica of Ellston T220! Congrats to 7 Oaks Angus and KDS Angus for producing this outstanding bull! The buyers were Sunny Okanogan Angus Ranch and Levi & Kristine Maltby.
