Bulls

Rogers Bar HR is committed to breed the best. Our commitment to performance testing can immediately benefit your herd. Take advantage of the chance to back your next calf crop with 45 years of Rogers Bar HR's quality and success.
We have used and/or produced many of the breed's Trait Leaders. HBR Alfalfa 114, HBR Rocky 151, Gibraltar, Bingo, BR Duke 261, and WCR Duke 815 are some of the Trait Leaders that we have used to form our cow herd. Many of our bulls are not just single trait leaders, but double or triple trait leaders like HBR Magnum 542 P and HBR Program 297 P. We produced two of the breed's Triple Trait Leaders, HBR Performer 181 P and HBR Magnum 93 P. We purchased an additional Triple Trait Leader, WCR Power T 2375 P. All these have been trait leaders in weaning, yearling, and milk. Our bulls are long, thick, and easy fleshing while their heifers are some of the best milking cows in the nation. According to a search of AICA’s website for the top 50 bulls in the nation according to Total Maternal EPDs, 29 of these outstanding bulls were bred by Rogers Bar HR.
We realize, in the future, that carcass traits of bulls will be important. As a result, we have made a determined effort to produce bulls with excellent carcass traits. We placed several bulls on the AICA carcass evaluation program. In addition to being on the AICA carcass program, HBR Program 297 is one of the few bulls who have been DNA tested and found to have markers that indicate he is above average in all phases of tenderness. He has great phenotype, very docile, homozygous polled and has some of the best growth numbers in the Charolais breed.
With the assistance of Bovigen Solutions, we have recently started DNA testing our cattle to locate markers for marbling and tenderness. We have been pleased with the results. We feel that this increases the value of Rogers Bar HR cattle. With the highest EPDs in the nation + outstanding markers for marbling and tenderness, Rogers Bar HR is able to offer the “Complete Package.”
If you choose a Rogers' bull you will know that your decision was right, because you'll know that their 45 years of breeding experience and one of the largest Charolais herds in the nation is backing you.

HBR CANNON 2250 P

This bull is in the Top 1% of the breed for Total Maternal EPD. We think he is the best of a large group of ET calves out of this mating. He has at least seven Trait Leaders in his extended pedigree. In the last 44 years we have owned over 10,000 cows and his dam, HBR Lady GI 207 P ET, was one of the best we ever owned. His full sister, HBR Lady Multi 119 P ET, is the top cow in the nation with a Total Maternal of 48. He will improve most any herd of cattle.

HBR PROGRAM 218 P

This young bull has excellent EPDs. He also has at least seven Trait Leaders in his pedigree and many Multiple Trait Leaders. Most of his ancestors are polled. His sire (914) is one of the most popular bulls of the breed and we have had more than our share of his calves. If you are searching for bulls with low birth weight and high Total Maternal EPDs, I doubt you will find one better than 218.

This is a good-looking bull that is very long and homozygous polled. He and his progeny are very docile. He has been DNA tested and is above average for marbling and tenderness. His dam is our famous HBR Lady Liz 721 P. On Central Test, Program had the largest ribeye, 17.9 sq. in., and the largest pelvic, 224 cm. He is a frame score 7. If you want pretty show type cows, that are very docile — try some of his semen and progeny.

HBR MAGNUM 93 P

Beef is sold by the pound, thus growth is important. HBR Magnum 93 P progeny have been the top gainers in New Mexico, Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Montana and South Carolina on grain and forage tests. They have also been the top feed efficiency bulls where tested. Magnum has an adjusted 205-day weaning weight of 800 pounds with a ratio of 128, on Bahia grass pasture with no creep. He has been a Trait Leader for Weaning, Yearling and Milk. His daughters are outstanding. Semen, sons and daughters are for sale.

HBR BIG MACK 797 P

This bull had a Weaning Weight Ratio of 125 in a good herd of cattle. He is typical of the kind of cattle we are attempting to breed. He was placed on a BIF guideline test at Hinds Junior College with several bulls of all breeds that were thought to be the best in the area. He was the only bull on the test (of any breed) to gain over 5 lbs. per day with a Rate of Gain Ratio of 159! This bull is very long and shaped correctly for easy calving.
