We purchased these young Blackcap heifers from the Gardiner Angus Ranch ET program well before this line of cattle became famous because we liked their dam and their kind, as much as their data. The “867” line of Blackcaps were once described as having produced more lot one features and more six-figure sales than any cow family in history and to date that would be an understatement. Daughters include, Coleman Blackcap 0813 sold 240K(half interest), GAR EXT 2104 sold 250K, A Plus Blackcap 0097 sold 175K, & GAR EXT 2114 sold 120K. After 867 sold for a phenomenal 60K (half interest) at 17 yrs old, her new owners described her as follows: “Blackcap “867” is responsible for more than 35% of the cattle in the top 100 cows for IMF and Ribeye in the breed. Approaching a million dollars in progeny sales and after producing over 150 offspring, Blackcap “867” is still alive at 17 years of age and flushing as good as she did when she was a first-calf heifer. She is where the bar is set for longevity, reproduction, and carcass in the Angus breed” At Highview Angus Ranch we too like the longevity in these cattle as they hold up while still performing near the top even under our real-world ranch conditions.
