The pomp and circumstance of winning National Champion is always exhilarating and really feels like the ultimate moment. We bask in that success.
But when you take a step back and look at it through the lens of a breeding program, perhaps, almost equally as exciting but with less bells and whistles is the potential of a young buck who looks to be a foundational sire, something we have not had in over a decade. The strength of dam lines can sustain you, but it never hurts to get a "great one".
Introducing....

I've not been shy about my love of Sprocket. She really felt exceptional to me. I've no qualms saying that I thought she stole the show in Redmond in 2023 as a seven year old. I've used her in my ideal type presentations.
Sprinkle a little Living Free in there and we felt it was a recipe for success.
Pacer's first daughters are so lovely! He placed 4th place senior get at Grand Island with three yearlings! And his daughters were 2nd/1U, 4th/3U, 8th and 10th. We have retained 5 milking yearling daughters.
Pacer is getting collected on Oct 10th by XCell Genetics. If all goes well, semen would be available with transport to convention.
Pictured are his 5 daughters in the herd at various times over the summer. From 4 dams.
