                                                     Our motto is "Quality not Quantity".
   We hope you will find something you are interested in. If you want to see how they grow out, look at Montana (6.5 yr old weight was 2665#) or Chucky (6.5 yr old weight was 2190#). We are ruthless with our knife. These bulls really have to stand out at branding in order to make the bull list. We make another cut on the bulls at preconditioning time. Our calves are not creep fed. The weights you see are from only grass & mom's milk. They do not get put into "special pastures" for just the bull calves. We handle our calves like commercial cattlemen.

   The Bulls are fed a head start medicated pellet at weaning then switched over to feeding an alfalfa based pellet with corn, barley & wheat. They are a green pellet & all natural. They have access to free choice grass hay. THE BULLS DO NOT GET PUSHED. They are fed to gain about 2 -2.5#/day .  They grow out nicely, yet do not carry much fat. We want them in good flesh, with sound feet to be able to go out & go to work for you.

   Complete health records, Semen tests & transferred papers (if you want them) are furnished. Each bull is vaccinated for foot rot. Bulls are cake broke. Our bulls are super gentle & retain that gentleness throughout their life. They load easily into a trailer & that stays with them as well. Ultra sound Carcass Data gets taken, DNA testing is done, as well as color testing the double black bulls. All of our DNA testing is done by Pfizer Animal Genetics (formerly Bovigen LLC). After visiting with the area rep to explain the new MVP results, the majority of our bulls are in the top 10 percentile of all of the testing done in their lab (except Angus-which have their own grouping) for Feed Efficiency. Our whole herd was BVD-PI tested negative in 2007. Bulls have been BVD-PI tested (All tested negative) .

Thank you to our past bull buyers. We appreciate your confidence in our program & your Business.

Due to lack of facilities & the forecast of a Severe Winter again, the Bulls are going to be fed at Midland Bull Test this year. 152Y will not be sold up there, because of his age, so he will be for sale privately, but is going thru the test with the others. It is going to be interesting to see how our April bulls will test against older bulls.

All Bulls with "Spook" (Montana & Sterling) in their pedigree, are a higher Percentage than their registration shows, as she was a Non Registered Salers X Cow.

What a phenomenal cross this is. He is a full brother to the 042X bull we kept to use ourselves last year & is for sale listed below. He seems to be thicker than Buster was. Nice & quiet optimizer bull. He has herd bull potential. Ulmar's calves have wide tops, big hips, are smooth polled (most), are thick & very quiet.

This is the youngest bull in the offering & possibly the best one of the red calves. He is Extremely thick & deep. I really like this guy. His mother is a half sister to the 102 cow. His mother is out of "Montana" who is the number one Rib Eye Bull in the Salers Breed. He is being fed/tested at Midland but is not old enough to make their sale. He is for sale privately.

This is the oldest bull in the offering & the only red purebred. He could be your next Herd Sire. He is long, thick & deep. His mother is a highly productive 11 year old cow. Probably not recommened for use on heifers. This boy should really thrive at the Bull Test. Am very anxious to see how he grows out. As he gets older, he looks more like his sire.

This is the only black Ulmar sired bull in the offering. He is Extremely thick & deep, but taller than his half brothers (getting his size from his mother). His mother is a highly productive 10 year old Stealth Daughter. Lisa is one of my BEST cows. She is the mother to the heifer we sold to MacDonald Ranches at Supreme in 2007. My hopes got dashed for this guy, as he got sick after arriving at Midland & has not done well. Hopefully he'll turn around before long.

This boy has been DNA tested to be sure of his sire. He is out of a good cow line going back to Nansel Ranch Company. He is double black, but not homozygous black. He is extremely long & smooth. He has a huge hip & should have a VERY large Ribeye as his Grand Sire "Montana" is the number one Ribeye Bull in the Salers Breed. He has done well by holding his own against the older bulls at Midland.

call if interested

We pulled this boy from the 2011 sale offering to use him on our heifers. This guy is extremely gentle & would eat cake out of our hand already as a 3 month old calf. Piper is out of the 48Y cow that was the mother to our Great Red bull "Big Red". She is a very good producer. She became a silver dam in 2010. His nickname is Buster. I really like this bull. He is one of those bulls that is very hard to get pictures of his true thickness. This guy has the potential to be a herd bull. He is a full brother to the Yonkers bull that is at Midland. This picture is taken this winter in his everyday clothes. If your looking for a bull that is VERY easy to handle to breed your cows, this boy is the one your looking for.
He will have to be trich tested before you take possession.
