2. VALTU BLACK BEACON

Valtu Black Beacon is a distinctly terminal-type sire, focused on maximizing carcass quality and production efficiency. He is well suited for herds aiming for larger frame size and high intramuscular fat (IMF). His sire Pirgo Bartolo (by Quaker Hill Blindside SGR) is known for consistently transmitting superior marbling and strong maternal traits. His daughters are functional and productive, while his progeny demonstrate uniform carcass quality. The maternal grandsire Tiara Slam Dunk ET 357Y is recognized as a strong maternal bull, contributing functionality, fertility, and longevity to his progeny. Valtu Black Beacon displays a phenotype that supports good feed efficiency and excellent end-product carcass quality. Notably, he has demonstrated outstanding performance in the Vytelle feed efficiency test, combining excellent daily gain with very good RFI. This makes him a forward-looking breeding choice for operations that value not only performance but also efficiency and a reduced environmental footprint.
