Every sale I attend stirs my emotions as many of my closest friends stem from cattle sales over the past 25 years. Please join us on November 17th … have a nice lunch, enjoy quality livestock and make some new friends!

This summer I had the pleasure of competing my 23rd year as a real estate broker. I’m extremely proud of the high value options we offer our clients. It’s taken over two decades to find solid solutions to help our customers preserve their wealth, realize a higher financial return and accomplish their life goals.

We are reducing our cow herd to simplify our business.

Pay special attention to the females offered in this sale.

Chris has dug really deep in our herd … I saw some tear stains while I was typing the footnotes :) Let me know if I can help you with anything. We appreciate you and your generosity, kindness and friendship.

Drifter is the kind and color everyone wants! This 15 hand buckskin great grandson of Orphan Drift is an exceptional ranch horse and at 8 years old still has a ton of life in him! We’ve had this horse since he was a weanling and he has done all aspects of ranch and feedlot work. When asked he will really watch a cow but his preference is slow and steady making him the perfect candidate for a ‘family gelding’. If you understand the basics of riding he’ll take care of you!

Huckleberry is a 7 year old blue roan gelding. He stands approximately 14.3 hands. He has been used to gather and ship cattle in the flinthills. Huck has never offered to buck and is the same horse whether you ride him once a week or once a year. However, he does need an intermediate to experienced level rider as he still needs corrected from time to time. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to ask. You wont want to miss out on this nice gelding.

Ole Jumper is a 4 year old bay roan gelding. He stands around 15.1 hands. Jumper has been ridden in rough rocky Kansas territory and is tuff, tuff, tuff. This horse can go all day long.

He has never offered to buck and he will be the same horse when spring rolls around. I would advise he be ridden by an experienced rider for a few more years as he is on the right track to being an outstanding gelding!

Bocephus has been on the Nelson ranch since he was a weanling and has been my main mount for the last two years. He’s drug calves, roped strays, and shipped hundreds of loads of cattle.

This is the horse I let beginners ride when they want on one. He stands 16 plus hands and has a very big but controlled motor.

He may not be colored up like some of the other horses, but he makes up for it in brains and athleticism. Don’t overlook this gelding!

“My dad said the Baldie Cow is the quintessential female. With years of observation we could not agree more. Sustainable best describes them. As embryo recipients they were always the ones to consistently accept embryos and their conception rates are at least 5-7% better on average.” Chris Jeffrey TRUE MONTANA KIND

C & S Baldie Heifers –Approximately 155 Head F1 Black Baldies

74 Approximately 81 ‘C’ Heifers- A beautiful, big, bloomy, true F1 Cross female bred to calve easily and fall nicely in your cow herd. These females are all out of purebred cows and sired by Topp Hereford Bulls. Every C female is a “No brand”.
