Born in 1985, “Encore” has been utilized heavily in the Horse Butte herd.  He adds longevity; he bred his last cows as a 12 yr. old, his dam produced her last calf at 17 yrs of age.  His structure was impeccable.  He had a gentle disposition and throws gentle dispositions.  He improves teat and udder attachment and produces excellent marbling and ribeye.  His progeny excel on forage, shed off well and he has proven to be a bull that works well on all types of forage from the southern fescues to the northern hard grasses.  We value his ability to contribute true foundation genetics in a package that fits our management practices.  Owned by Shoshone Angus, Keeney Angus, and Barry Cooper.  Deceased.
