Steel is out of our very first flush we did back in 2016 between SPK Sunboy Rotan 150 x DDF Matariki's Jazzi Blue. We decided to retain him and use him as one of our herd sires after seeing how well his first crop of kids grew. He typically throws kids that are small (5.75-7 lb) at birth and are very vigorous. His kids typically inherit his easy going attitude and are easy to work with.
When it comes to weaning, his kids have high ADGs and wean at the top of their kid crop. Two of his bucklings were sent to the 2019 Langston Buck Test due to having ADGs of 0.50 or higher. One buck placed 29th out of 171 bucks on the ADG pasture portion of the test and the other placed 24th out of 71 bucks on the FEC feed portion of the test.
Straws of semen are available for purchase.
