Cow Families

The core of the Hardhat Angus cow herd is made up of 4 main maternal lines. These maternal lines have been acquired by the physical purchase of two of our great donor Cows being Kansas Annie Y21 and Kansas Spice Girl Y97. The other two maternal lines have been infused into the Hardhat Angus herd through using multiple sons of the two greatest cows in the Angus population globally, N Bar Primrose Y3051 A14 and SAV Black Cap May 4136.

Kansas Annie Y21 was purchased from the Kansas Angus 2011 Cow sale. We identified her as the best descendant of the imported embryo from Summitcrest Annie C022. This Annie cow family is now Angus royalty in the Hardhat herd. We rate the Annie’s equal to any cow family in Australia.
Kansas Annie Y21 soon became the calving ease and Carcass Matriarch of the Hardhat Herd.
Her flush to Sinclair Grass Master resulted is some of the best progeny of the Hardhat Angus program to date.

  • Hardhat GM Grass Range Y21 J518 who is now a herd sire at Myanga Angus. Included in ASBP Cohort
  • Hardhat GM Agronomist Y21 J516 was an AI Sire within our herd, Purchased by Matt Ryan. Included in ASBP Cohort 6.
  • Hardhat GM Jemalong Y21 J519, Purchased by Micheal Leonard.
  • Hardhat GM Grass King Y21 K15, had a cover bull career at Hardhat Angus, included in ASBP Cohort 7.
  • The females produced from this Sinclair Grass Master flush include, J506, J510, J532 and J541. All donor quality cows.

Kansas Annie Y21 was then flushed to N Bar Emulation EXT. This resulted in two of our best females. J536 and J511.
We are fortunate enough offer two sons of Y21 in our 2018 bull sale by Cherylton Stewie D19. These are genuine stud sire prospects.

Kansas Spice Girl Y97 was purchased from the Kansas Angus 2011 Cow sale. She soon became one of the most influential cows in the Hardhat herd primarily due to her great embryo production record as a donor. She was selected for two reasons when initially purchased – We had a great appreciation for the cow making ability of The Don W57 (Sire of Y97), and Y97 was a descendant of IDEAL 988 OF
692 6296 a cow bred by the Jorgensen Family in Ideal, South Dakota. Brad had experience with many Ideal prefix cattle while working at Sinclair Cattle Co and wanted to add them to the Hardhat Herd.
Kansas Spice Girl Y97 became a longevity and structural soundness matriarch of the Hardhat Herd. Her flush to Sinclair Emulation XXP left us with some of the best cows in the herd. She also produced some of our leading cows by Sinclair Grass Master and SAV Pioneer. Her daughters have formed the foundation of our herd and placed us in a great position with endless breeding options.
