MSAR Forte 6776 is structurally correct and stylish, working well on all types of cattle. His sire group continues to be very consistent, balancing out all cow types.

6776’s bloodline traces back to PAPA Forte 1921, one of the great carcass bulls of the breed. His dam, 1029, is a Pathfinder cow having a BR of 9/95, WR of 9/106 and YR of 9/106. She is considered one of the best cows raised on this ranch.

6776 is not a single trait bull, but doing it all well, and being a cow maker may well be his best trait. His daughters are proving this by producing some of our best-looking calves.

Forte 6776’s calves are extra vigorous at birth and the bull also has a good disposition. Early in the 2009 breeding season he was injured and we were forced to put him down. We continue to use him as an AI sire.

MSAR Forte 6776 earned the Pathfinder Sire Award beginning in 2016 for having produced daughters that qualified for the Pathfinder report. To earn this award, MSAR Forte 6776 has produced daughters that have met the rigid requirements for early calving, regularity of calving, and exceptional weaning weights outlined in the Angus Pathfinder Program.

Dars Walk On 4 Traveler 584 was raised by Darwin Peckham near Bristow, South Dakota. Walk On has a remarkable pedigree wrapped up in one genetic package.

Dars Walk On is the most structurally correct bull that we have seen in years. He is extremely sound, has a great set to his legs, and travels really well.

Woven through his pedigree are stalwart sires that have made a positive impact on the Angus breed.

Sires such as GDAR Traveler 584 LT, QAS Traveler 23-4, N Bar Emulation EXT, Transformer 100 EAR, Traveler 1148 GDAR, CSU Rito 4114, Rito 054 GDAR, and Candolier Forever 376 are deliberately intertwined throughout the layers of his pedigree.

The sire to Dars Walk On, GDAR Traveler 584 L T, made moderate sized females who were excellent producers. (Click here for a GDAR Traveler 584 L T photo.)

The grand dam to GDAR Traveler 584 LT, Eileenmere Lady 83 GDAR, was a foundation cow of Gartner and Denowh Angus Ranch, being the same linage that produced AAR New Trend and Oscar 711.

Sitz Barbara Perfection 4368 is the dam to Dars Walk On 4 Traveler 584. She was born in the Sitz herd from Montana, and is from the Barbara Perfection family that produced sale-topping animals for the Sitz program during those years.

Even though this cow family brought in much revenue, Peckham was interested in Sitz Barbara Perfection 4368 because of her generational pyramid of good cows stacked behind her. She has had eleven calves, with Walk On as her last natural calf.

For those of you who desire to stay on the maternal track, Dars Walk On 4 Traveler 584 is a bull where all the work has been accomplished. We believe Dars Walk On will put fleshing ability and capacity into his calves, and sustainability back into your herd. He has those traits that have made the Angus cow so desirable.

MSAR Right Time 7757’s sire, 24J, is known as the Cow Maker. 7757’s daughters are following this pattern, being moderate framed, sharp and feminine, with excellent udders. Right Time 7757 is from the Msar Proud Formera 1029 cow and a half brother to our MSAR Forte 6776 bull. MSAR Right Time 7757 was the high selling bull in our 2009 Sale to Darwin Peckham at Bristow, SD.

MSAR Right Time 7757’s daughters are proving to be good solid cows.

His three-generation pedigree is packed with ten Pathfinders, including his dam. She has a BR of 9/95, WR of 9/106 and a YR of 9/106. MSAR Right Time 7757’s actual birth weight was 80 pounds, with a birth ratio of 92; a Wean Ratio of 102 and a Yearling Ratio of 111.

MSAR Wilfred 0041 is a larger framed bull that we retained from our 2010 calf crop. We used MSAR Wilfred 0041 because of his several generations of strong performance and documented maternal strength on both sides of his pedigree.

Wilfred’s great-granddam, Msar Marshall Queen 234-524 has eleven calves on record. She has interwoven into both sides of her pedigree Rito 054 of GDAR, CSU Rito 4114 and QAS Traveler 23-4. His granddam, Msar Marshall Queen 0970, is double bred to DHD Traveler 6807 and she has produced three outstanding daughters for our herd. His dam, Msar Marshall Queen 4100, was a high producing cow with ratios of 6 calves at 105 on birth; 6 at 106 for weaning, and six at 107 for Yearling.

MSAR Wilfred 0041 was named after Debby’s father, who was a cattle feeder for over 50 years. With carcass bulls included in the pedigree such as LT 598 Bando 9074 and Papa Forte 1921, we thought it a suitable name for this bull.

We had our first calf crop out of CAR Chinnook 786 in 2009. We were first attracted to Chinnook’s flawless pedigree and his generations of maternal excellence. As an outside AI sire, he is one of the most consistent bulls at weaning that we have used in a long time. He consistently stamps each calf with his good disposition, eye appeal and thickness from start to finish.

We are pleased with Chinnook’s daughters in production. The cows have surpassed our expectations. At the present time our Chinnook daughters have the most production in our herd. Their sons selling in our annual sale are the stand out ones, and as people view our heifers, the Chinnook daughters are the first ones they ask about. It is rare to find a maternal bull that sires both such eye appealing daughters and sons.

Connelly Angus Ranch states that Chinnook’s progeny scanned 100 IMF and 105 for Ribeye Area. CAR Chinnook 786 is a proven calving ease sire, his daughters have plenty of milk, and an eye appealing style that is all their own.

Connelly Angus Ranch, Valier, MT; Darwin Peckham, Bristol, SD, and Master Angus Ranch, Chinook, MT, own Chinnook. Chinnook was raised in the Connelly herd in Montana.
