Our donors at Hamilton Angus Ranch are among the best in their breed with pedigrees to show for it. These maternal traits are what have helped us to refine and excel in our breeding philosophy.
D749 is a direct daughter of the famed multi-million-dollar producer Baldridge Isabel Y69 who has become one of the most influential cows in the angus breed. D749 is long, massive bodied, and records 2WR103 with one progeny IMF at 118. She has made her mark at both Hamilton Angus Ranch as well as Baldridge Performance Angus in North Platte, NE where she has produced some phenomenal daughters that express her same body capacity and eye appeal. We expect D749 to leave a lasting impact on our program as we believe she is one of the great cows in the breed today. She is a full sister to Baldridge Marksman at Select Sires and Baldridge Hombre at Genex.
We added B211 to our donor pen in the summer of 2022 when she was purchased from Booth’s Cherry Creek Ranch in Wyoming by Hamilton Angus Ranch and Gary Wall, MT. B211 is a beautiful 8-year-old cow that we identified as an individual with exceptional maternal ability, feet, and udder quality. She is moderately made yet has a great deal of dimensions, rib shape, and muscle and recorded an individual IMF ratio of 131. She has already raised one herd bull in Cherry Crk Blue Collar G275 who posted a WWR 104 and YWR 108 and was selected by Baldridge Performance Angus, NE where he is being used heavily in both their AI and ET program. We expect great things from this cow moving forward as she will play a large role in our ET program moving forward.
J617 is one of the most impressive SAV Rainfall daughters we have ever laid eyes on as she is powerful and feminine with an ideal udder. J617 is not only a phenotypic standout but is the only Rainfall daughter in the angus breed with her birth to weaning spread. We are extremely excited to have added this cow to our program and look forward to getting progeny on the ground.
E327 was our pick on the 2022 Baldridge Performance Angus female sale and is one of our stoutest and easiest fleshing donors. She is a direct daughter of Baldrige Pratissa W165 and posted an individual WWR 102 and YWR 104 with top 1% of the breed weaning and yearling weight EPDs and top 3% PAP. Her sons were well received in the 2022 bull sale at Baldridge Performance Angus where they totaled $40,000 and one future donor heifer selling to Scott Angus, NE for $18,000. She is also the dam of Baldridge Pratissa J071 who was the $97,500 top seller in the 2024 Baldridge Angus Female Sale going to Kern Cattle, CA.
H308 was another addition to the Hamilton Angus Ranch donor pen that stems from the Isabel cow family. She is a daughter of the $150,000 Baldridge Isabel D753 that was a prolific donor at Baldridge Performance Angus. H308 has done nothing but impress us since the day she stepped on our place exhibiting great docility and maternal ability with great feet underneath her and exceptional udder quality. She had 16 full brothers in the 2022 Baldridge performance Angus bull sale that averaged just over $15,000 including the $65,000 Baldridge Sherman that sold to Riverbend Ranch in Idaho. We expect big things from this cow moving forward and are excited to get more progeny on the ground.
GDAR Miss Wix 7430 was our pick of the Gartner-Denowh female sale in 2022 as we wanted to add this proven cow family to our program. Her damn GDAR Miss Wix 7154 is one of the best donors to ever be flushed at GDAR with perfect feet and udder structure. 7430 has achieved Pathfinder status herself and combines an elite phenotype with a progressive EPD profile. Her production rations include WW 2@107 and YW 2@110.
6343 is a powerful cow that exhibits a very balanced EPD profile and phenotypic package. Shes descends from the famed Henrietta Pride 643T the $390,000 full sister to Sitz Upward 307R and posted individual performance records of WWR 116 and YWR 110. 6343 is currently 7 years old and has done a great job for us continuously raising big calves while conceiving to her first AI breeding each year. Look for 6343 to produce powerful, easy fleshing, and fertile cattle that can work in a wide range of environments.
907 is a beautiful wedge shaped Poss Achievement daughter that has done a great job for us so far with one heifer being retained in our herd. She has near flawless conformation and her foot and udder quality are exceptional. We expect 907 to produce moderate cattle that are extremely functional and productive. She has a very progressive data set and currently has 22 EPDS ranking in the top 25% of the breed.
F5158 boasts an elite EPD profile and has the phenotype to match. She is a moderate made cow with tons of body and dimension that has excellent foot and udder quality. F5158 served as a donor at the famed R.A. Brown Ranch in Texas and will do the same for Hamilton Angus. We expect her to produce great daughters and moderate made practical bulls that will be well suited for commercial and purebred cattlemen across the country.
Bieber Enchantress 570C has been a phenomenal cow at Hamilton Angus Ranch. She is a powerful Rollin Deep Y118 daughter with exceptional foot and udder quality. She posts 4@112 at weaning and 4@106 for yearling ratios and a 109 MPPA. This highly productive cow will play a major role in establishing a red angus herd at Hamilton Angus as she has been used heavily in our embryo program.
