This heifer calf represents the most genetically concentrated individual in the entire Slate Run program — three generations of deliberate, elite selection converging in a single animal born February 17, 2026. Her sire, Slate Run Black Magic 006, brings a $B of +237 and proven progeny across 43 herds. Her dam carries the genetics of the #1 AI sire in the Angus breed (Deer Valley Growth Fund) stacked directly onto Slate Run Rita Lass 004 — herself a $B +236, top 1% growth and carcass female. The result is a heifer projecting top 1% for weaning weight, yearling weight, ribeye area, carcass weight, and $F simultaneously — an extraordinarily rare combination in a female. If genomically confirmed, she is a legitimate donor prospect and the next generation of the Slate Run foundation cow herd.
