This exciting young sire combines a powerful, structurally-sound phenotype with vintage pedigree stacked with performance and feed-efficiency leaders. His sire, Rito 707, was the top-performing bull of his time and helped usher in the performance or carcass merit. Arguably the most dominant sire of today in terms of the combination of growth and carcass merit, traces 10 times to Rito 707. His dam, considered by many to be the greatest daughter of the Pathfinder® Sire Traveler 6807, is the first identified and preeminent source of feed efficiency genetics in the Angus breed with sons winning two feed efficiency trials at Jorgensen Land & Cattle Company.
