Superman 1024 and Crackerjack 1034 were both bred on Wendt Ranch.  Superman 1024 made a terrific impact on both the Wendt herd and on Santa Gertrudis herds world-wide.  Superman's son, Superman 1378, was a National Champion Bull in South Africa.  His grandson, Superman 1818, was a National Champion Bull in Brazil.

Performance Records
All Star
All Star is one of two Santa Gertrudis purebred bulls found out of thousands tested world-wide to carry GeneSTAR 3 Star Marbling,
4 Star Tenderness, and 8 Star Feed Efficiency.

Performance Testing has been the backbone of the success of this Santa Gertrudis cattle operation.  Only gain-tested bulls have been used in this herd since 1958.  Dan operated a commercial feedlot in Markham, Texas for 17 years and all his keeper bulls were gain tested there.  They have also been tested at King Ranch, Luling, Goliad, Phillip Couch's, and other locations.  All bull calves are closely evaluated at weaning for cleanness, conformation, structural soundness, muscle, and testicle development.  Top herd sire prospects are put on 112-day gain test, DNA for quality, tenderness and feed efficiency tested before gain test.


Females
Extensive records are also kept on females.  All calves are weighed at weaning and measured for frame scores.  Yearling heifers are bred to calve at two years.  Fertility and milking ability are musts at Wendt Ranch.  The Wendts have records on Santa Gertrudis females in their herd 19 years old with 17 consecutive calves.
