Independence has emerged as Red Angus’ “Go To” Calving Ease sire – not just because of his best 7% Calving Ease and -5.6 BW EPD – but because of everything else he does so well. His steers are great to feed with top 8% Marbling.

Independence is a Maternal brother to 5L Defender 560-30Z; their dam is a breed hallmark for longevity, fertility and carcass merit. Still fertile at age 15, the 560 cow has produced 43 natural & ET calves that averaged 116 IMF ratio and 106 REA ratio. She has stayed ahead of over a decade of intense selection – still ranking in the Top 2% for CED, CEM and HPG and the top 1% for MARB, YG and REA.
