EXAR Guru 8719B
The $80,000 half-interest top-selling Lot 1 bull of the 2019 Express Spring Bull Sale, Guru was the lead bull of the popular Express Pen of Three Bulls at the 2019 National Western Stock Show that was the first pen of three ever exhibited where all three bulls offered a $Beef value index of +200 or more! Sired by the $80,000 two-thirds interest top-selling bull of the 2017 Express Spring Bull Sale, Guru has become a favorite of visitors at ORIgen with his powerful freedom of movement, his overall mass and volume, and his EPD profile is among the best to be found in the breed. The dam of Guru is a maternal sister to the $60,000 half-interest EZAR Gold Rush, a featured young sire at Express Ranches, and the grandam of Guru was the $77,500 top-selling fall pair of a past Big Event at Express. She has become a cornerstone donor at EZ Angus Ranch, and her dam that topped a past Big Event at $175,000 has been a foundation Blackcap donor for Deer Valley and Vintage. Guru has been a phenomenal semen producer as a yearling that is seeing extensive use in the largest seedstock program in America at Express Ranches. Among all active ORIgen Angus sires, EXAR Guru 8719B ranks Number 4 for Calving Ease Maternal EPD and top 10 for $Grid value index and Marbling score EPD.
