Born more than 40 years ago in 1967, RR Rito 707 established himself as a common denominator in most performance bloodlines that continue to be prevalent in the Angus breed today.
He dominated the 1968 PIC Bull Test at Stanford, Montana as the top yearling weight and top gaining bull with a gain ratio of 129 and sold two-thirds interest for $5,000 as the top-selling bull to the American Breeders Service AI Stud of Wisconsin and Pioneer Beef Cattle of Iowa. His very first progeny test group of 27 steers recorded an average daily gain ratio of 111 and graded USDA choice.
The progeny enrolled in the AHIR program over the course of the past four decades by this pioneer performance sire continue to compile an impressive average weaning ratio of 105 and an average yearling ratio of 103 while his daughters in production post a strong collective progeny weaning ratio of 102.
A decade and a half after RR Rito 707 became an ABS sire, he could be found in one-third of the top 75 bulls in the 1984 National Sire Evaluation, a record that was not approached by any other sire of the time and has since become cemented into the foundation of most modern day performance bloodlines.
RR Rito 707 remains the breed's top proven sire for his generation and beyond with a Weaning Weight EPD nearly 40 pounds greater than the estimated average of his birth year and a Yearling Weight EPD nearly 70 pounds greater.
His famous sons include the Pathfinder Sires Rito 707 of Ideal 533 70 (Rito 149), Rito 707 of Ideal 836 71 (Rito 72) and PBC 707 1M F0203. Bred by the late master performance breeder Dale Davis of Rollin Rock Angus near Belgrade, Montana, R R Rito 707 is from the renowned Eriskay family that went on to produce other important sires.
Rito N Bar, his truly unique sire, was bred at the historic N Bar Ranch near Grass Range, Montana. Born in 1960, he was an original member of the ABS Stud and a recognized Certified Meat Sire who was especially noted for siring added muscling, leanness and growth.
Eliminator 302, the paternal grandsire of R R Rito 707, was bred by W. J. Harrer and Sons at the famous Green Meadow Ranch near Helena, Montana from the highly regarded Eliminator line developed in the Henry Henke herd at Hanover, North Dakota, and from the Bemindful Maid family that was imported from Scotland to Hartley Stock Farm at Page, North Dakota and would eventually produce D H D Traveler 6807.
The linebred extended pedigree of R R Rito 707 further reveals a strong concentration of the best of Earl Marshall breeding.
