509 has proven himself as the standard for range efficient, cattle. He is among the top of the breed for $ weaning – scrotal – docility. 509’s heifers are as good as they come with bred in, no BS range efficiency. When the USDA set out to establish their Range Efficiency Research Herd they chose 509 to establish a foundation bloodline (see the Angus Journal November 2012 “Eyes on Efficiency”.) 509 will reduce frame size while maintaining growth. 509 is unique in that he does this through his ability for extreme early maturity. 509 calves grow very fast up to about 1 year of age and then shut down resulting in a reduced mature frame. 509 will continue to be standard for range cattle production. His legacy will be his broody daughters with their bred in longevity, depth, and ability to easy keep on a frame 5 structures.
Bulls
RED CHAROLAIS STENBERG RANGER 3A QPMC
End of 2 year old breeding season
Ranger is purebred Charolais, by being straight continental breeding, heterosis is maximized.
Ranger is the $42,000 bull we imported from Canada in 2013. We were extremely impressed with his unprecedented 1000# weaning weight on strong grass range only with no creep along with his extreme muscle and length. He measured a 18” ribeye at 12 months and is homozygous deep red and polled. His calving ease and birth weight on British range cows has been similar to straight British calves. 60 head of mature Red Angus cows birthed 78 lbs bull calves and 74.5# heifer calves on average in the spring of 2015. Ranger’s purebred Charolais calves are very muscled and long and are stamped with his homozygous red color. His first crossbred calves were fabulous in look and growth and outweighed their straight Red Angus herd mates by 50 to 100 lbs at weaning. With his proven calving ease and bred in performance, Ranger will not only be a breed changer for the Purebred Charolais world but his crossbreeding potential has no limitations. There are only a hand full of purebred Red Charolais bulls of his caliber in the world today. Ranger continues to enhance phenotypically while his incredible progeny are proving his worth as a world class sire. Always remember “Rangers Lead The Way”.
RED CHAROLAIS
STENBERG RANGER 3A QPMC
STENBERG COALITION 972 #17002349
972 IS 509’S BEST SON. He carries his sires distinct look and phenotype and stamps his calves with those large nostrils, wide muzzle, extreme length and depth that the 509 line is known for. His daughters are beyond fancy with range efficiency written all over them. 972 is a cow maker and will make those “right kind” of heifers that will mature at about frame 5 and will produce with limited inputs. His bulls are extremely thick with tons of muscle resulting in very heavy weaning weights. 972 has that prepotent ability for early maturity that his sire is known for. His calves are born small, grow like crazy and shut down around a 12 to 14 months. These cattle will grow like a top performance bred Angus but will mature at a much smaller efficient size. They are very docile and easy to work with.
