SJ RANCH Private Treaty Sale ^ 2025
Welcome from Rafter SJ Ranch
We are excited to present to you our top 33 Red and Black Angus bull calves by Rafter SJ Ranch 2025 Private Treaty sale.
We strive to grow our calves into bulls that will be able to service your herd for years to come. To promote longevity and fertility, the bulls are fed a post-weaning ration of hay and a grain free, 16% protein pellet supplied by County Junction Feeds. They are vaccinated with Pyramid FP5+ Presponse along with Ultrabac 7/Somubac in April followed by a booster in September at weaning.
Our main consideration when purchasing females and herd bulls includes feet, udders, fertility and temperament. Over the years we have built up our herd from top Production and Dispersal sales along with the prestigious Red Round-Up sale. We pride ourselves on the considerable amount of time and research we put into our choice of our AI sires that we incorporate into our herd. This consists of fresh hot genetics but mostly the old tried and true proven AI sires. This allows us to incorporate a wide variety of genetics to cover all our customer needs, from moderately framed heifer bulls to growthy scale benders.
We welcome new, returning and potential customers, along with any questions you may have about our bulls or our program. We are confident in our 2025 bull selection and offer a volume discount of 2% off a second bull and 3% off the third bull purchased. We would love to chat over a coffee and provide you with a tour of our operation and herd, to showcase our dams and herd bulls in relation to your selected bull.
We look forward to contributing towards the progression of your herd for years to come.
What a truly great time to be in the cattle industry!!

RED RAFTER SJ BAZINGA 10K
We are now calving out our 2nd year of all of our heifers being bred to BAZINGA, and wow is he putting together another powerful group! We acquired just 2 straws on his sire and couldn’t be happier to have this guy walking our pastures. 4 sons available this year. 37M, 40M, 46M & 49M.
RED RAFTER SJ GENESIS 31J
We feel blessed to have this young Red U2 Genesis 103G son walking our pastures! His sire was the second high selling bull at the 2020 U2 bull sale for $77,000. We bought his beautiful dam as a bred heifer at Red Round-Up and were sure happy when she had a bull for us. He is smooth shouldered and wide topped and has a strong foot on him. Proud to be able to offer 8 sons this year; have a good look at them. 55M, 57M, 64M, 72M, 74M, 82M, 83M, & 95M
RED DERSTA RENDITION 38H
Rendition is a well balanced and classy bull. His pedigree is loaded with great sires like U2 Reckoning, Minburn Copenhagen, and Howe Magnum, and great cow families like U2 Anexa, U2 Lassie and U2 Larkaba. But even more important is that he lives up to there names; having a great birth weight to weaning weight spread himself and his calves. 4 sons available! 62M, 70M, 80M & 84M
RED RAFTER SJ GAME FACE 40H
Game Face came in a good looking Barndance daughter we bought when the Vikse family dispersed their Angs herd. We searched her out, being the only cow in the sale that was AI’ed to Red Six Mile GameFace 164Y. His calves come long bodied and easy, with an overall average birthweight of 84lbs. We only put a few cows with GameFace last year tho, as we’ve used him a few years and like to keep fresh genetics for our customers, so only ended up with 2 sons available this year: 91M & 92M
