Commander s dam, GRU 202M, has proven her power by earning Dam of Merit honors through the AGA by ratioing 91 BW, 103 WW, 100 REA and a 105 daugter s WW ratio on 21 progeny. She has produced a Futurity Champion Bull, Denver Division Champions, and Junior National Champions.

They are big bodied, moderate framed, fertile, and extremely consistent. Commander is soggy middled, big boned, attractive patterned with a huge scrotal to match. His brother, X-Factor, was a many times champion for my son, Seth, and won the First Annual People s Choice Balancer Bull Futurity in 2011. A maternal sister won Reserve Champion Female at Jr. Nationals in 2009. Commander has been DNA tested Homozygous polled. He combines calving ease with explosive power and excels in carcass traits scoring an Igenity Tenderness score of 9. He has maternal sibs working for Jim and Pat Dromgoole, Gary Tilghman, in our own herd, as well as many progressive commercial cowmen.
