When we were looking for the next herd-sire at Benchmark both Doug and I (Mike) went out looking in numerous herds. We both visited them independently to find the kind of sire that we both liked and thought would work, independent of the others opinion. When we both couldn't stop talking about a Prime Cut son, out of a Rokn D daughter at Stevenson's, we knew we had found him. Basin Prime Cut 080 is an extremely correct son of 1G42, with lots of length of spine and a tremendous foot, he will truly make a positive contribution to the Benchmark program. 080 has a tremendous pedigree that combines the maternal powerhouse Basin Max 602C with the carcass legend Rokn D Ambush 1531 and Summitcrest Prime Cut 1G42. 080's numbers are possibly the best to date of any 1G42 son, with a +1.4 birth EPD and an explosive +88 on yearling weight, the calves will come easy and have the kind of growth that we all expect. With very positive numbers across the board on carcass data we know that he will be the kind of bull that will be right for today's industry.
