Proven Performance
Commerce distinguished himself early in a large Connealy contemporary group. Universal reports that he ratioed 123 for weaning weight, 125 for yearling weight, 110 for ribeye area and 185 for IMF, demonstrating the individual performance that helped establish him as a prominent AI sire.
Favorable PAP
Commerce’s PAP -.91 ranks in the Top 15% of the breed in the August 19, 2026 Angus evaluation. That adds another useful dimension for western and higher-elevation breeding programs while complementing his calving ease, growth and carcass profile.
Commercial and seedstock programs seeking calving ease without sacrificing growth and carcass merit, particularly where balanced performance, marbling and favorable PAP are important breeding considerations.
