WHY CRAFTSMAN?

Connealy Craftsman combines maternal strength, growth, structural quality and carcass value in a balanced Angus package. His strong $M profile and favorable foot EPDs make him particularly attractive for programs focused on building productive replacement females while maintaining performance in the calf crop.

Craftsman also brings solid growth and carcass merit, giving producers an opportunity to add maternal value without giving up performance.

Craftsman is not an extreme calving-ease or low-PAP specialist. Producers breeding heifers or selecting specifically for high-elevation adaptability should weigh those traits alongside his considerable maternal, structural and performance strengths.
