Sire: NJW 119E 87G ENDORSEMENT 216J (119E216J) P44272851

ENDORSEMENT 216J is a cornerstone sire for breeders looking to produce the best Hereford cows possible. This trait-leading sire excels in maternal efficiency, boasting top 1% rankings for udder and teat quality while keeping mature cow weight below breed average for improved herd management. Beyond his maternal strengths, he is a phenotypic standout—dark red, heavily pigmented, and square-hipped with the soundness and look required for the show ring or the pasture. His ability to sire low-birth-weight calves with high vigor makes him an ideal choice for integrating hybrid vigor into commercial heifer programs without sacrificing carcass power or long-term fertility.
