BLACK ANGUS

 DAVIS YR BLACKBIRD 558H

In 2006 we purchased the natural born bull calf of the Legendary Blackbird 558H. This purchase from Riverbend Ranch, Idaho proved to be a n very important one in the history of our Ranch. Most Angus breeders at that time knew that Blackbird was a tremendous cow, but little did anyone know just how tremendous she really was. In order for an individual animal to be truly great they have to be able to pass their qualities on to future generations. The greatest Racehorse ever was Secretariat. His records still stand today; however, he could not pass his incredible speed on to his colts. The ability to “Breed True” is paramount to being a Breed Legend. The Blackbird bloodlines still produces cattle that look just like and perform just like the Legendary Blackbird herself. Blackbird produced $3.5 million in progeny sales and she herself sold for $520,000. at public auction. The J Bar S heavily uses Blackbird bloodlines today because they are exactly what we breed for in Angus cattle. The Blackbird bulls are thick, deep and muscled while the heifers are extraordinary. The efficient, easy keeping, docile, and fertile females come in a moderate frame however will tip the scale because of their thickness and extreme soggy depth. Time after time the Blackbird bred cow will outweigh cows of similar frame by 200 lbs., solely by their extreme depth and overall thickness. We are part of a large fan base that feel that YR Davis Blackbird 558H was the greatest Angus cow of all time. We feel fortunate that we were able to own a great son of hers that impacted much of the J Bar S Angus herd still today.

 

STENBERG LADY 470

44 IS A Tremendous calf producer this bull calf weaned at nearly 1000#. 44 is another example of the carbon copy Blackbird daughters

 

466 Is an awesome Homesteader daughter out of a 509 sired cow. 466 has a perfect phenotype and both she and her offspring display that “meat plumb to the ground” look. We never sell heifers from this bloodline however bulls are for sale. Her range efficiency is beyond compare. She will wean huge calves and will stay fat year-round. Very fertile, very docile. When the USDA Research Project determined that the J bar S 509 bred cattle were the correct blood line to be used in order to establish the highest range efficient herd in America, 466 is a prime example of the 509 bloodlines.

 

DAM OF 466 AT 11 YEARS OF AGE.

PRODUCING A HUGE CALF ON GRASS ALONE, LOOK AT HER CONDITON.

THIS IS WHAT RANGE EFFICIENCY LOOKS LIKE!!!

465 Is sired by 509 out of a “Super” Traveler 415 bred cow, Star. Star is an unstoppable matron that has very refined maternal traits. Her daughters are always the best of the crop. When star was mated to 509, the result was 465. 465 is a showstopper. 465 does not have the high dollar famous genetics on her registration paper however she takes a well-earned spot in our Donor Herd. This spot was earned by pure performance production. She is gorgeous!!!  And she stamps her calves with the same gorgeousness.

1670 IS A FULL SISTER TO 470

PICTURE IS A 11-YEAR-OLD COW

The 470 narrative reads the same as 1670’s as they are peas in a pod. Three weeks prior to this picture she weaned a 960 lb. bull calf off of pasture alone. This entire cow family produces at a level that is hard for anyone to believe.
