Which Sire Line Fits Your Program?

Not sure which direction to take your herd? Here’s how our two sire lines compare. Choosing the right sire line depends on your goals and how you want your herd to perform.

The Casanova line is focused on adding growth, muscle, and sale weight. These genetics are best suited for producers looking to increase pounds at weaning, improve carcass shape, and produce more uniform, market-ready groups. If your priority is stronger sale performance and heavier kids, this line will move you in that direction.

The Michelangelo line is centered on balance, efficiency, and maternal strength. These genetics excel in low-input, pasture-based systems and are ideal for building a herd of productive, low-maintenance females. If your focus is long-term herd development, longevity, and consistency, this line provides that foundation.

In our program, both lines are used strategically. Casanova is used to add growth and shape, while Michelangelo is used to retain daughters and strengthen maternal traits. This approach helps maintain a herd that is both productive and efficient.

Bottom line:
If you want more pounds and market power, lean toward Casanova.
If you want long-term, low-maintenance productivity, lean toward Michelangelo.
If you want both, using the two lines together creates balance without sacrificing performance.
