WHY TEHAMA PATRIARCH F028?
Calving Ease
Patriarch offers proven calving ease with low birth weight genetics, making him a useful option for programs that need to control birth weight without giving up performance. His extensive progeny record adds confidence compared with relying solely on genomic predictions from a young sire.
Maternal Strength
Patriarch’s maternal value is a major part of his appeal. His daughters are known for fertility, functional design and productive maternal characteristics, while his strong $M profile reinforces his usefulness for programs intending to retain replacement females.
Balanced Carcass Merit
Patriarch brings useful marbling and carcass value without being built strictly as a terminal sire. That balance allows cattlemen to pursue improved end-product value while maintaining the maternal and functional traits needed in the cow herd.
Proven & Widely Used
Few things establish confidence like widespread commercial use. Patriarch was ABS Global’s top-selling sire for three consecutive years—2022, 2023 and 2024—giving him an extensive progeny base across many different environments and management systems.
BEST FIT
Commercial and seedstock programs seeking calving ease, maternal function and balanced carcass merit, particularly where replacement females will be retained and cattlemen want a proven sire with broad industry use.
