Bulls

FOCUSED ON CALVING EASE, INCREASED POUNDS AT WEANING AND CARCASS MERIT.

WHF Double Up J72

What a great way to lead off the 2023 Belles and Bulls of the Bluegrass Sale! As we said last year, we want our lead bull to represent what we at WHF and our sale partners, SSS and MMF, try to produce - quality cattle that are phenotypically and genotypically appealing. J72 is flawless in his structure, massive bodied, extra stout and still stylish, while combining that with 11 EPDs in the top 40% of the breed. He’s a bull that can work for commercial, seedstock, and show cattle producers. He checks all the boxes. Qualifies for CAIP.

J024 is one that is going to give you extra performance in your calves. He reads to have high growth in his EPD profile and shows the same when you look at him. Cow side of his pedigree traces back to a full sister in blood to the famous WHF/PRS/HPF Alley 247Y cow. Make replacements or sell good calves, J024 can do both. Qualifies for CAIP.

Lot 101

A Powerful Double Up son that is out of a first calf heifer. We chose to lead the sale off with Double Up sons. The consistency and quality of these five bulls has been exciting to see in the bull pen. This mating is proving to be pretty consistent. A full sister will be headed to the replacement pen. Qualifies for CAIP.

Lot 102

WHF Double Up J024

WHF Double Up J845

WHF/JS/CCS DOUBLE UP G365 W/C DOUBLE DOWN 5014E

If you are looking for a Double Up son with extra look and really good structure, then this is your bull. J55 is really extended and comes out of his shoulders high. Double Up looks to be passing his flawless feet and leg structure on to his calves. Qualifies for CAIP.

You should notice a theme in these Double Up sons. Four of the five are out of first calf Innovator daughters. This mating is working. J875 is backed by one of our favorite family lines. It is doubtful you see any of these females on the market. They stay in our pastures. Good feet, nice udders and raise good calves. Perfect bull for making replacement females. Qualifies for CAIP.

WHF Double Up J875

WHF/JS/CCS DOUBLE UP G365

WHF Double Up J55

WHF/JS/CCS DOUBLE UP G365

Exciting power bull to start off the Innovator section. J383 boasted an 811# adjusted weaning weight. Check out his EPD profile top to bottom - it is impressive. 12 EPDs in the top 30%. Beef bull deluxe to add pounds and pay weight to your calf crop. Qualifies for CAIP.

Lot 105

Really nice 3/4 blood Innovator that is backed by a cow that has paid some bills. This is the third bull we have been able to sell out of three calves she has had. No high selling son, but really good bulls for progressive commercial producers. Qualifies for CAIP.

Lot 106

WHF Innovator J383

WHF Innovator J73

These two bulls will be full brothers in blood. Stout and powerful bulls backed by the 2018 National Western Champion percentage bull. On the dam side, these two full sisters are making waves at WHF. These cows are full sibs to WHF SUMMER 365C, the lead donor for WHF and JS and WHF GUCCI, an up and coming donor for JS Simmental. She recently sold a bull calf for a $270,000 valuation. These bulls will also be full sibs in blood to CCS/WHF OL SON 48F. If you believe in buying into cow families, these are two bulls for you. Check out Lot 5 - she is a maternal sib to J368. Qualifies for CAIP.

Innovator

Black baldy Innovator son that is really solid across the board on his EPD profile. The possibility of black baldy replacements out of J24 could be exciting. He is backed by a good uddered, black baldy cow. Qualifies for CAIP.

Lot 109

If you are looking for a black baldy bull, the number we offer is small, but the quality is big. J224 adds to that quality. A 3/4 blood that is a younger fall born packed with quality. Long bodied, stylish and good disposition. Qualifies for CAIP.

Lot 110

WHF Innovator

WHF Innovator J224

These two bulls, Lots 111 and 112, are closely related. Both are sired by Innovator and dams are mother and daughter. This is a pair of bulls that are very similar. If you are looking to put consistency in a calf crop, this would be a good pair to buy. Qualifies for CAIP.

The Innovator calves out of Black Hawk daughters seem to work for us. Two matings like that went to purebred breeders last year. A full brother to J548 sold to Traxinger Simmental in South Dakota for $6,250 in last year’s sale. J548 has 12 EPDs in the top 50% of the breed. Qualifies for CAIP.

WHF Innovator

Lot 113

Here is a set of twin brothers. They were raised on the cow together. The 35 line has been really good to us. The mother of these two bred back on time while nursing them. Their granddam, 35Y, is still running our pastures with perfect feet and a good udder at twelve years old. Qualifies for CAIP.

Stunning black baldy Ol Son. Here is one that really catches your eye in the pasture. He’s very fluid in his movement, adequate thickness and long fronted - the kind to make replacements. J246 is a maternal brother to last year’s lead off bull. He sold for $6,250 to the Harker Family. We finally have a daughter this year out of 246E. She will be headed to the replacement pen. Qualifies for CAIP.

J594 is an opportunity to buy a full brother to WHF POINT PROVEN H45, the very hot herdsire for Trennepohl Farms and WHF, a $7,500 1/2 interest purchase in 2021. He recently averaged $370/unit, a total over $74,000 in one night, at the SimMagic Sale. ROI runs in this family. At the 2021 NAILE, the Eggersman Brothers purchased a full sister to J594 for $12,000. At the 2022 NAILE, they sold her for $45,000 to Schaeffer, Boyert and Buck Creek. That is a pretty good ROI. His full sister sells as Lot 13 - be sure and check her out. Qualifies for CAIP.

Big stout rugged power bull. Talk about a bull to add the performance needed to make the scales go up. J042 is the last natural calf out of our 242Y donor. We kept her around until she was twelve. Every calf she raised was on the high end if not the highest weaning calf every year. Qualifies for CAIP.

We love it when a plan comes together. In the past few seasons, we have bred several Innovator daughters to Exclusive. J371 is a bull we envisioned producing; he’s a bull with true shape and dimension, while maintaining a flawless structure. J371 can work in a variety of scenarios, producing scale smashing feeder calves and awesome replacement females. His dam does an outstanding job and Exclusives have excellent udders. He has the look, presence, and soundness to make good show cattle, all while adding an extra shot of muscle. The versatility of this one gets us excited! Qualifies for CAIP.

If you look through past catalogs, you will notice the 876 family is one we are high on. Also, you won’t see 876 females selling. The reason is, we won’t sell them. Sometimes you just have to be greedy and keep certain ones. J876 is an all-around good bull. Qualifies for CAIP.

Another solid Exclusive son backed by an Innovator cow. See the theme we talked about earlier. This combo worked for us and there are more to come in the spring bull section. Last year we sold a maternal brother to J80 for $5,000. Qualifies for CAIP.

Nice Night Watch son backed by a Sierra daughter. 252G is a good uddered, moderate cow that raised J252 as a first calf heifer. He is moderate and stout. Qualifies for CAIP.

Potential heifer bull prospect. We used Night Watch on several first calf heifers, and the results were good. This one traces back to our Andie donor. There will be a full sister in blood to the 036J cow calf pair we are selling. Recently the high selling bull at Effling’s sale was out of a full sib in blood to J036’s dam.

Lot 129

Calving ease herdsire prospect in J375. He is in the top 2% of the breed for CE and BW. Black Hawk has been a go to heifer bull for several years.

Here is another Innovator son out of a first calf heifer. All K36 needs is time. He has a bright future ahead of him. His dam is a full sister to the 2021 NAILE Simmental Junior Show champion female for the Udell family. Unfortunately, we lost his dam this year. We had big plans for her in the future. Qualifies for CAIP.

Really nice Innovator son, backed by a cow family that traces back to our great Sierra donor. EPDs show this bull to add performance being in the top 3% for YW, while also boasting 8 EPDs in the top 20% of the breed. Qualifies for CAIP.

The Delilah Exclusive mating has made a hit again. K008 is following the same pattern as his older brothers. Really stout, sound and good looking. He has all the bells and whistles. Flush brothers to K008 include: WHF Entourage H450 owned with Boyert Show cattle, WHF Greater Good J45 owned with 3Aces, Rosebud Cattle and Jared Werning Cattle, and WHF J451 owned by Mundy Farms. We also sold a full sister to him in Rosebud Cattle’s fall online sale for $20,000. Many full and maternal sisters are in production for us and we plan to add more to the herd. Be sure and look up his maternal sisters in the sale. Qualifies for CAIP.

The Exclusive sired calves out of Innovator daughters is a mating that keeps us excited. The true shape and dimension of these bulls is impressive. K366 is a spot headed bull that can be used in purebred herds or commercial herds. Either way you will see a value added calf crop. Qualifies for CAIP.

When you walk in the bull lot, this bull stands out. Again notice the Exclusive Innovator cross. K125 has been a standout since birth. Last year one of the top selling pairs was a maternal sister going to Kelly Moore in Tennessee. Look up his maternal sister 25J (Lot 24) selling this year. Big feet and good udders run in this family. K125 is a bull that can excel in many aspects of the beef industry. Qualifies for CAIP.

We really like this trio of flush brothers. You can take your pick if you want a solid black son or baldy son of the legendary WHF and JS donor WHF SUMMER 365C. Summer is solidifying herself as one of the breed’s leading donors after having a show career second to none. She has had success on the female side producing the 2021 NAILE Simmental Junior Show champion female, and another maternal sib to these bulls was the $58,000 high selling female of the 2022 Belles and Bulls of the Bluegrass Sale. On the bull production side, she has one of the hottest sons in the breed in WHF/CCS/JS Double Up G365 and another up and coming son WHF/CCS/JS Woodford J001. The dollar figures she has produced continues to grow. The sire of these bulls, ES Right Time, is making waves in the breed as well siring high sellers across the country. We could write a lot more about both sides of their pedigree, but just look these bulls up sale day and decide if they work for you. Whether you are a seedstock producer or commercial producer, these bulls could work in any scenario. Qualifies for CAIP.

Flush siblings to her have topped this sale on the female and bull side in past years, as well as siblings working in some of the most prominent purebred and progressive commercial herds. Qualifies for CAIP.

It is not often you can find a bull built like this with his EPD profile. K509 is really sound and fancy. He has 10 EPDs in the top 10% of the breed. This bull is fun to watch develop.
