Better Bulls -Better Calves- Better Markets

At 4J we believe in breeding cattle that keep an operation in business for the long-haul; genetics that will be profitable and sustainable for this generation and future generations. Our breeding decisions are based on this belief and are centered around exceptional fertility, quite dispositions, rapid growth, longevity, and excellent end-product merit. In today’s rapidly changing beef industry effective marketing takes a plan, or better yet a set of flexible plans, that lead to greater profit. Simply put, we believe better bulls result in better calves and better marketing options. Please direct semen inquiries to John Justiss at 1-361- 772-0301.

- View Pedigree - American Red/STAR 5

Korban’s Cruz is a unique breeding piece that emphasizes the value of Santa Gertrudis genetics in today’s rapidly changing beef industry. This deep bodied, growthy, heavily muscled powerhouse combines the maternal characteristics, growth traits, and longevity of the Santa Gertrudis breed with the docility, consistency, and carcass quality of the Red Angus breed. A Balanced Index of 1, Cow-Calf Index of 10, and Terminal Index of 1, allows Korban’s Cruz to pass performance to his offspring across multiple traits. His pedigree is impeccable on the top and bottom. He is sired by the prolific Santa Gertrudis KR 191, recognized for his ability to pass structural soundness and exceptional performance, and out of the Brown MS P707 cow, the dam of Oracle and Fantastic, some of the Red Angus breed’s most sought genetics. His EPDs are an impressive blend of maternal, growth, and carcass quality making him a solid choice for progressive cattlemen engaged in breed up programs, shipping market topping feeders, producing fertile-functional replacement females, or targeting cattle that feed efficiently and produce high quality carcasses. We are confident that this bull checks all the industry boxes for sustainability and profitability, however, Korban’s Cruz value does not stop there. This big-middled, huge hipped, clean fronted American Red bull can be a game changer for a club calf/show program focused on capturing purple banners.
