My favorite bull I had in the test . Like the other Flying W offerings is bred for production and performance. He is sired by JTB Holy Smokes 1257 who we bought out of the bull test sale in 2015 for his muscle moderate frame and good IMF. That has certainly paid off as he produces the same way . 409/9 s Dam SRW MISS FLYING W 960/9 is a moderate framed beautiful feminine cow . She has had 4 calves at the age of 6 all of them within 30 days . All of her calves so far have scanned over 4 IMF . One a 6 one a 4 and 409/9 5.18 . 409/9 is a moderate thick made , clean sheathed , good ribbed bull that will breed like he looks . He was the second overall scanning bull in test which is combination of REA and IMF . His low BW of 66 lbs, BW EPD of - 1.7 and calving ease EPD of 6.33 which are in top 2 % and 1 % of breed respectively mean he can be bred any way you choose . His carcass EPD s are exceptional with REA + 0.52 top 7% marbling 7.66 top 5 % retail product top 1% and tenderness -0.06 top 10 % .
409/9 is a balanced combination of production , performance and style that can elevate your breeding into what will be needed going forward with the Brahman breed .
