We are proud of the fact that we have been progressive and tried to provide you, our valued customer, with the tools to select the sire that will improve your cow herd, so last year we started DNA testing...
DNA Testing by Igenity...for Carcass traits such as Tenderness, Marbling, % Choice, Yield Grade, and Ribeye.
This will enhance your ability to make a more informed decision.
Keep in mind that DNA testing cannot be manipulated by the feed bag or environment.

See information on Igenity that is in our catalog HERE

Pictures of some of the sires of Spring Valley's 2008 Sale Offering

In Focus
4 Angus and 15 black Balancers sell.
In Focus is a big time calving ease and growth combination bull based on over 20,000 calves in 2,000 plus herds.  He ranks in the top 10 for both Muscle (+1.2) and Capacity (+2.2) on the latest GTS Evaluation with 201 progeny evaluated.
Connealy Overtime
5 Angus and 8 black Balancers sell
Impressive 338 son with outstanding early progeny data.  Overtime's progeny are thick made and attractive and he will add muscle while enhancing curve bender spread and carcass value.
GAR Predestined
9 Angus and 2 black Balancers sell
For the 4th consecutive sire summary, Predestined is the #1 $B bull in the Angus breed.  He's a great choice for any cow--he improves $Values, adds width, fleshing ability, muscle and soundness.  He excels for fertility, deepens flanks and he certainly adds value and good looks to his calves.
GT Shear Force
5 Angus and 5 black Balancers sell
Shear Force is a unique power and carcass combination.  He has outstanding overall EPDs with excellent carcass value and curve bender spread.  He is homozygous for all of the beneficial Genestar and Igenity tenderness markers.  His progeny have proven to excel for overall tenderness beyond the markers with a -.29 Shear Force EPD
(top 10% in the Angus breed)
Woodhill Foresight
6 Angus and 6 black Balancers sell
Foresight's +53.80 $B ranks in the top 10% of the Angus breed making him one of the highest bulls with no Precision or New Design influence in his pedigree.  He excels for maternal traits, growth, scrotal circumference, and marbling.






 

Dr J Analyst M250
5 Angus and 6 black Balancers sell
"Maternal Design and Carcass Proof" are the words used to describe Analyst.  He combines the muscle, guts, and fleshing ability of Bushwacker with the eye appeal and carcass value of the Precision 706 cow.  Analyst has high maternal and beef value rankings...he's in the top 1% for $W and the top 3% for $B.  Over 1,700 calves are ratioing 99 for BW and 102 for WW in 300 plus herds and they're proven to rank in the top 25% for feed efficiency and the top 15% for tenderness.
KCF Bennett Performer
7 Angus and 1 Black Balancer sell
Performer is a rising star in the Angus breed.  He offers outstanding performance and sires the kind of bulls ranchers want in their front pasture.  He offers an excellent outcross with Hyline Right Time 338, Jauer 353 Traveler, and Ambush in the pedigree.

 

Connealy Contrast
1 black Balancer sells
Contrast is the complete calving ease package plus super attractive, heavy muscled, and easy fleshing.  He is in the top 4% for both calving ease and birth weight with nearly 600 progeny reported in 65 herds.  He also ranks #1 among Danny Boy sons on the main Angus sire list for MARB EPD.
SCC New Design EXT 974
3 Angus and 1 black Balancer sell
New Design 974 is in an elite group for calving-ease.  974 combines a top 2% of the Angus breed with a calving-ease EPD of 12 with a top 3% of the Angus breed Low Birthweight EPD.  He adds excellent carcass traits being in the top 10% for IMF and the top 20% for ribeye.  His daughters are moderate sized and productive females with excellent udders and small teat size.
