We were in need of more bull power for 2023 and jumped at the opportunity to purchase this great outcross bull from Richardson Ranch. He is very deep through the middle, has good round feet and a strong top. He was used as a yearling on our heifers and on a group of young cows. He will have calves on the ground by sale day come ask us about them! Excellent set of EPDs and he is the maternal brother to the heifer calf that won the Ranchers’ Choice class last summer at the Burns Lake fair! We are no longer short on homegrown bull power so 25K sells.

Lex 2L is a bull that screams versatility, 2L is a smooth made, well muscled bull that is extremely athletic. He is out of a cow we purchased from Copper Creek. She has a good udder, good feet and she has been a great producer for us. 2L is the kind of bull that will go out and work to make baldy calves or purebreds. He will make good ones.
