EXAR Hi-Tech 4769B

As one of the featured and top-selling bulls of the 2015 Express Spring Bull Sale after recording exceptional individual performance with an IMF ratio of 120 and an adjusted 365-day URE measure of 16.4 square inches for a URE ratio of 112, his impressive genomic profile has propelled Hi-Tech to an exceptional array of genomic-enhanced EPD data. The now-deceased dam of Hi-Tech was a $124,000 valued donor for the partnership of Express and Pollard, descending from the $160,000 half-interest Blackcap 1200 donor that is a genomic cornerstone of the breed, and the first calves by Hi-Tech have been popular sale attractions for both Edisto Pines and Express as they combine desirable phenotype, kind, data and Southern climate adaptability. Hi-Tech and his spectacular individual and progeny performance represent another classic example of the accelerated progress possible through the aggressive and progressive usage of genomic-enhanced selection and mating decisions.
