Hetero Black Polled Purebred SM Bull • ASA#(4162200)

Rtz K5

Raatz Farms Inc: Colton purchased the Foxie cow on the SD State Sale a few years ago. This Frosty son has excellent thickness in a moderate package. I would call him a heifer bull.

Rtz K8

Homo Black Baldy Homo Polled 3/4 SM 1/4 AN Bull •

Raatz Farms Inc: High Performing High Road x Franchise ¾ blood. High ratio of 107 at weaning and has a MWW epd in the top 5%. He would be an excellent chose to make some baldy replacement heifer or fancy set of steers.

Lehrman Family Simmentals: A black Exectuive Order bull calf out of our 714Z donor, that is long, wide top with a bold rib. Guarnteed to add pounds to your calf crop.

Rtz K18

Homo Black Baldy Homo Polled 3/4 SM 1/4 AN Bull • ASA#(4086233)

Raatz Farms Inc: This is the first year we haven’t gone to any Winter Shows but if we had, he would have been on the trailer heading west. I love the way his head and neck comes out of his shoulder so high. Big topped, and wide based, be sure to check out this guys video!

Miss Direction Z176

Raatz Farms Inc: Another ¾ blood Frosty that has excellent heifer potential, CE in the top 15% and BW in the top 5. K13 also ranks in the top 10% for milk and 15% in DOC.

Raatz Farms Inc: This High Road’s dam was injured early on so he had a little tougher start. He has really come on post weaning and continues to exhibit extra length and will most likely have the same big foot and sleek front as his mother. A little white star to set him apart from some of your other black bulls.

Rtz K34

Homo Black Star Homo Polled Purebred SM Bull • ASA#4086246

Here is a good example of what we have come to expect from Frosty calves; good calving ease, excellent growth, packed full of meat, with a good temperament.

Rtz K41

Raatz Farms Inc:

If you like the big indexes check out this guy. API in the top 5% and TI in the top 1%. With seven EPDS in the top 5%, he is very well rounded individual. Also had a WW ratio of 115, tons of potential.

Rtz K56

Raatz Farms Inc: This has been one of Angie’s favorites for a good reason. We saw Fireproof at the stud and decided we needed to give him a try. Ratioed 108 at weaning, his weaning and marbling epd are in the top 2% with a top 3% yearling equals a TI heavy weight in the top 1% of the breed. K56 looks the part too, really nice frame, thickness and stands on a big foot with good shape. He’s a real sale highlight.

Rtz K58

Homo Black Baldy Homo Polled Purebred SM Bull • ASA#4086334

Rtz K61

Raatz Farms Inc:

I love the group of ¾ blood bulls we put together this year. K61 goes back to our Pride donor and the United mating was one of her best. Thickness, eye appeal and tons of performance in this Epic son. Maternal sister is J67 Lot 65.

Rtz K65

Half blood bull with a flashy blaze and some outstanding numbers for yearling weight, ADG and carcass weight.

Rtz K75

We wanted to make some ½ bloods without sacrificing growth and Redemption got the job done. Easy fleshing, big testicled bull here.

Rtz K76

3.65 Gibbs 7382E Broad Range

9114G Essential

7153E Star 3136A

Another big framed, high growth Essential son. If you feed your calves out, this would be an excellent choice.

Rtz K78

dam is a rising star in our cow herd. Her first calf RTZ/ CMG Mr. Good Decisions H13 sold to Cory Grow in IA and her second was a top replacement heifer out of TJ Heisman. This Outlaw son is a dense, deep sided stud.

Lefs Beacon 209k

Lehrman Family Simmentals: If you are looking to retain some heifers, this guy will certainly do the job. In his pedigree, the dams have great longevity. He’s a nice shaped bull that should work fine for heifers.

Rtz K82

Cow bull out of TJ Heisman that is really put together, I would expect him to cover alot of cows and sire some awesome feeder cattle.

Rtz K80

22

Rtz K83

Raatz

771E

Raatz

Inc: Extra

Outlaw son that ranked in the top 1% for yield grade and backfat. Love that baldy face too!

Raatz

Inc: This one is a Manchild. K99 is the largest framed bull we brought to town. If you have some smaller Angus cows, he would be a good choice without adding excess birth weight. You’ll be delighted to see that feeder calf check with all the weight he’ll add to those calves.

Rtz K109

Raatz Farms Inc: I would guess this guy will make a really good cow maker. He scored high for Milk, MWW, Stay and Doc, not to mention top 10% for WW, YW, YG and backfat. He is a very complete individual.

Mr SR Mic Drop, Sire

Rtz K116

Raatz Farms Inc: Another Redemption with a huge BW to YW spread, top 5% ADG and top 1% carcass weight. Close in pedigree to K75, these two would make a solid pair to add consistency to a calf crop.
