Five Star Jackson J10 ASA# 3947790 Purebred Simmental

The next step in the relentless effort to advance beef genetics is to combine genomic excellence with phenotypic excellence-and Five Star Jackson represents that progress. And he does so as an outcross to many of today's popular pedigrees, sired by Hook's Full Figures and out of KBHR F316. Jackson's genomically enhanced EPDs are as follows:

Top 2%: API (176), TI (99), marbling and docility
Top 10%: Calving ease, yearling weight, ADG and carcass weight
Top 15%: Birthweight, weaning weight, maternal weaning weight and stay
Top 20%: Milk and ribeye area
Top 25%: Maternal calving ease

A stout, attractive genetically advanced bull that will improve looks and a broad base of numbers - an Elite Balance Bull. Owned with Drake Simmentals, Larry and Carol Drake.
