ABOUT RIVER CREEK
At River Creek Farms, we’re proud to lead the state of Kansas in annual registrations of Simmental and SimAngus cattle. This distinction reflects our commitment to providing high-quality Simmentalinfluenced genetics, a legacy that dates back to the early 1970s.
PROGRESSIVE HERD SIRES
By integrating cutting-edge genetics into our program, we ensure our herd remains at the forefront of the industry. Anchoring our program are bulls like KBHR Revolution, KBHR Homelander, Schooley Haggard, TERS Kodiak, and Rubys Quadrant—all of whom embody the calving ease, performance and carcass traits that drive profitability.
A BUSINESS-DRIVEN COWHERD
For five generations, River Creek Farms has operated with a business-first mindset. From day one, we’ve prioritized profitability, focusing on genetics that thrive on the native grasses of the Flint Hills while delivering exceptional performance. This approach is not for the faint of heart—we cull relentlessly, ensuring only the highest-quality animals remain in our herd.
A FARM FAMILY LEGACY
River Creek Farms is owned and operated by Joe and Kim Mertz, alongside their son and daughter-in-law, Abram and Dani Mertz. With over 35 years of experience selling bulls at public auction—and a legacy of ranching that dates back to 1890—our commitment to breeding bulls that work as hard as the ranchers who depend on them has never been stronger. •

BUILT TO WORK
At River Creek Farms, our breeding philosophy is grounded in one simple principle: every bull we sell should deliver a measurable return on investment for our buyers. This isn’t just a goal—it’s a promise backed by decades of experience, data, and a commitment to excellent service.
Longevity is more than a desirable trait—it’s a critical factor in a bull’s ROI. At River Creek Farms, we breed, develop, and handle our bulls to maximize their productive lifespan, ensuring that every bull not only performs but performs for years to come.
DEVELOPMENT
Our approach begins during the post-weaning growth phase, where bulls are raised on grass with limited resources. This targeted development encourages slow, steady skeletal growth, producing bulls with strong feet and sound structures. By focusing on building skeletal strength and athleticism early, we create bulls that can responsibly add muscle and pounds during testing and thrive under demanding conditions for the long haul. This process results in mature bulls equipped to breed cows season after season, delivering consistent value to their buyers.
HYBRID VIGOR
At River Creek Farms, we embrace hybrid vigor to create bulls that blend the maternal strength and structural soundness of Simmental genetics with the carcass quality and efficiency of Angus. Crossbreeding reduces the incidence of common challenges like hoof and fertility issues while increasing a bull’s productive lifespan. The result? Bulls that deliver higher ROI by lasting longer and performing better across a range of conditions.
DISPOSITION
We recognize that a bull’s disposition directly impacts both safety and productivity. That’s why we practice a low-stress handling system throughout our operation. From an early age, our bulls are exposed to human interaction in controlled environments, fostering familiarity and reducing flight responses. The result is bulls that our customers say are calm, cooperative, and accustomed to working in close quarters.
NO EXCUSES
Every ranch is different. Whether it’s the heat and humidity of the Southeast, the rugged terrain of the Rockies, or the vast open spaces of the Plains, we understand that bulls need to adapt to the unique challenges of their environment. That’s why we expect every bull we sell to perform wherever they go—no excuses.
This commitment is why we stand behind our bulls with an industry-leading 4-year guarantee. It’s not just about confidence in our product; it’s about ensuring that every buyer knows they’re investing in a bull that will deliver value, regardless of where it’s headed. •
4-YEAR GUARANTEE
ON FEET, SEMEN & DISPOSITION
We’re committed to making sure your investment in River Creek genetics produces a positive economic return.
We believe that trust and transparency are the pillars of any successful business relationship. While we do everything in our control to develop young herd sires that are built to work - it’s possible a bull may still fail to breed cows for a variety of reasons post sale. If this happens, we want to be as transparent as possible in how we will handle the situation.
We guarantee every bull sold will work for four years/ breeding seasons. Should a problem arise, credit will be issued equal to the bull’s Net Breeding Value minus the salvage price you receive locally. •
“The best part of River Creek bulls is the people behind them. They have a good guarantee and they stand behind their cattle completely. Great people to do business with. I’ve spent a lot of time on the phone with Joe, and he’s been helpful in identifying the bulls that have been a real asset to my program.”

There is no better combination of phenotype and marbling in the breed. Look no further than his sons in this year’s sale. Currently, HAGGARD ranks as the #8 Active SimAngus bull in the Simmental database for the $TI EPD. Amongst active sires, he is also the 10th highest Marbling EPD. Not to mention, he’s a heifer bull with well above average growth. •

Our $80,000 high selling selection in the 2023 Ruby Cattle Co. Bull Sale. QUADRANT is already garnering attention from cattlemen quite literally around the globe. Genomically, QUADRANT possesses every trait our most astute commercial customers are looking for, including the fact that he is an ACE certified calving ease son of LBRS Genesis. Phenotypically, he’s got a powerful build with perfect, huge, feet. •
KODIAK was the $110,000 high selling bull in the 2023 Bred For Balance Sale. We partnered with Schooley Cattle to bring this bull to River Creek. As the preeminent son of Gibbs Essential, KODIAK stands as a testament to the power of performance-driven genetics in creating a harmonious blend of balance and eye appeal, both phenotypically and genetically. We believe he will sire bull calves that increase carcass quality and size without sacrificing maternal excellence. Look for his first calves in our Fall 2025 sale. •

COMPASS is truly one of a kind, boasting unparalleled EPDs: top 10% for CE, top 15% for BW and MILK, and top 1% for WW, YW, ADG, DOC, CW, MARB, API, and TI. Phenotypically, Compass is a deep-bodied, smooth-made bull with exceptional structure, featuring extra reach up front and a relaxed, correctly angled pastern.
We have made the difficult decision to offer a limited number of semen packages this spring. A total of 20 packages, each consisting of 50 units, will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. Once these packages are sold, no additional semen will be released until 2026. •
NORTH was our favorite SimAngus bull to sell in 2024. He’s a bull that epitomizes the perfect blend of smooth skeletal structure, commanding presence, and remarkable style SimAngus bulls command. With top 1% calving ease, he offers rare heifer-safe calving, growth, and marbling. We’re using him heavily on our heifers, and Triangle J Ranch is too, proving his industry appeal. Expect NORTH to sire highquality, marketable offspring that excel and command top dollar. •
MONGO our latest powerhouse herdsire combines massive feet, a big-ribbed build, and unparalleled power to deliver top-tier phenotype with exceptional performance. He ranks in the top 1% for Weaning and Yearling Weights, ensuring unmatched growth and productivity in his offspring. His structural durability and athletic build make him a true standout, while his 100+ $TI (Total Index) showcases the genetic potential for end product value he brings to the table. Simply put, MONGO is built to make an impact on any herd. •
FALL BULLS
• RVR LANDMARK 502L has the highest $API and $TI among white-faced Homelander sons to date. That’s why he’s our lead-off bull from an outstanding set of KBHR HOMELANDER J071-sired bulls.
• His unique combination of extreme calving ease, - 4.5 birth weight, and high growth, coupled with Top 1% rankings for Marb, API, and TI, is unmatched in the ASA database.
• He is out of a stunning bald daughter by RC XCEED 063D. Her sire was one of our past high sellers, sold to Triangle J Ranch and Gibbs Farms. We’ve successfully used him in our herd to infuse elite marbling genetics without losing mass and thickness.
• If you’re a breeder aiming to produce white-faced bulls and heifers that exceed 200+ $API and 100+ $TI, LANDMARK is the bull for you. His progeny will be highly sought after, and we plan to incorporate him into our program as well. Don’t miss this opportunity to elevate your herd with this exceptional bull.
SIRE KBHR HOMELANDER J071
• RVR LANDMASS 538L is an absolute phenotypic stud, and why wouldn’t he be? He combines the breed’s hottest SimAngus sire, KBHR Homelander J071, with the dam of our past high-selling bull, RVR Rogue 530H. LANDMASS is thick from end to end and flawless in his structure. This is the bull to use if you want to add phenotype and power to your calves.
• Maternally, LANDMASS combines KBHR Medora G132, a top cow and donor from Keller Broken Heart Ranch, with MOGCK Jilt 2101, the cow that produced W/C Rapid Fire 2101C, our past herd sire. Our Rapid Fire daughters are standouts in the pasture. They’re great mothers who transmit consistently good looks in every generation.
• If you’re looking for a front-pasture bull with power, carcass quality, and the ability to produce powerful, bull-making daughters that are the cattleman’s kind, this is the bull for you. He won’t miss the target.
W/C RAPID FIRE 2101C
• RVR RANGELAND 529L is a fault-free bull and exactly the kind we strive to mass-produce. Genomically, he’s designed to work in every management scenario.
• He’s a true “sleep-all-night” heifer bull. He combines calving ease with exceptional performance, ranking in the Top 4% for WW, Top 5% for YW, Top 3% for Marb, Top 2% for API, and Top 1% for TI. Simply put, he’s a bull that can do it all.
• In our opinion, RANGELAND posseses a maternal pedigree that is second to none. His dam is a GIBBS 7382E BROAD RANGE daughter. We invested in Broad Range specifically to incorporate the SSF BLK LOUISE Y534 cow family into our herd, and based on his daughters it’s been a success. A couple of generations back, you’ll find Angus sires GAR SURE FIRE and SAV BISMARCK 5682, two bulls we consistently rely on to produce elite SimAngus cattle. Adding even more depth, his third maternal granddam is a full sister to RC Club King 040R.
• RVR PROMISE LAND 461L stands out among the 55 KBHR Homelander J071 sons as the highest Marbling EPD in the sale.
• The #5 Marbling SimAngus bull in America. Among all parent and non-parent SimAngus bulls in the IGS database, PROMISE LAND’s 1.48 Marb EPD ranks #5.
• PROMISE LAND is a well-balanced, deep-bodied bull with added frame. Watch his video and we think you’ll agree.
• We view PROMISE LAND similarly to ADV Compass L3574, the purebred bull we purchased from the Wagon Hammer Ranch bull sale last spring. He’s a true breedleading bull with a genetically stacked pedigree that will move the needle forward in a positive direction. If you’re serious about producing cattle with exceptional endproduct value and multi-generational maternal excellence from both Angus and Simmental sires, this bull is the clear choice.
• We intend to utilize PROMISE LAND in our program moving forward.

• Not only will he stretch out his calves and add a white face, but they will also excel maternally. He combines the exceptional cow families of WS Miss Sugar C4 and our own RVR Miss Gold 207J, an up-and-coming superstar in our herd. We are big fans of our TJ Gold 274G females, and when you add power and growth to them, great things happen. With pedigree influences like TJ GOLD 274G, HOOK`S Eagle 6E, W/C Rapid Fire 2101C, and RC Club King 040R all on the bottom side, this bull is nothing short of remarkable.
• Good baldy purebred bulls are in high demand and short supply. Don’t miss out on this exceptional opportunity.
KBHR REVOLUTION
• RVR JORDAN23 478L is a bull destined for greatness and one we believe has the potential to become an all-time great SimAngus sire. He combines top-tier performance with exceptional maternal and genetic qualities. Ranking in the Top 1% for both WW and YW, he delivers unparalleled power and growth. His carcass traits are equally impressive, placing him in the Top 4% for MARB, Top 3% for API, and Top 1% for TI, making him a standout choice for advancing herd performance.
Black. Homozygous Polled. Donor dam has averaged a 102 BWR, 105 WWR on 5 calves.

RVR HAYMAKER 414K
RC MISS ALL-AROUND 031C
• RVR JUMPMAN 503L could easily be our logo bull of the year. We liked him so much, he actually ran with our fall cow herd. He exemplifies everything we strive to produce. With phenomenal Top 5% CE, Top 1% WW and YW, combined with Top 25% Milk and Top 4% Marbling, he is truly something special. His spread from -1.8 BW to 194.1 YW makes him unique—he’s the only SimAngus in the breed to achieve this remarkable combination.
• On the maternal side, he’s out of RC Miss Gold 423J, our standout TJ Gold SimAngus female, identified as our best for adding a punch of performance. While we love the Gold females, few achieve Top 4% WW and Top 5% YW like she does. In this sale, we are offering four sons, but this is the only one sired by Powerball23.
• JUMPMAN is not just a great commercial man’s bull; he can also move the needle for seedstock operations. Breed with 5/8 to purebred Simmental cows to make 1/2 or greater SimAngus herd bulls.

• RVR HAGGARD 563L is unequivocally the best SCHOOLEY Haggard A411H bull we’ve produced to date. Amazingly he offers even more CE & a lighter BW than his sire. If you need a big time heifer bull take 563L for a spin. He’s out a first calf heifer so the genetics are as fresh as you will find. Much like his sire we know he will transmit consistent good type, with added body and easy fleshing ability. SCHOOLEY Haggard A411H makes great cows and we will continue to use them as outstanding maternal breeding pieces to breed to our power bulls. 563L is the kind you turnout on a big group of heifers and keep every daughter and you’ll love the consistent sons he will produce.

“We have been buying bulls from River Creek Farms for 25+ years. The bulls are always ready to work when you get them. They are always gentle and birth weights are moderate. Our weaning weights have increased dramatically and our heifers are in demand. We have the best looking cow herd that we have ever had by keeping heifers out of Joe’s bulls.
