welcome WELCOME
Welcome back as we have completed another trip around the sun. This past year, we have again been graced with uplifting experiences to our entire family. In April, Molly and Chandler introduced Blair Henry Meiers to our family; and in June, Maddy and Ryan introduced their first child, Ajla Kay Westby, to our family. The older grandkids keep growing like weeds, causing for more running around for their parents, and more fun for their “Funcles”. Ben and Lacey are busy as ever with cattle shows, sales, and touring cattle everywhere in between. All while remodeling their home in their “spare time.” Wyatt has started a new business venture of his own, WeeDog Productions. Here, he has taken his photography passion, that started in the duck blind, into the sporting events for families and athletes to admire. Zane is now in his SENIOR year of High School! Zane has been building his simmental herd, which will probably result in some simmental bulls in the production sales ahead in the future.
This year’s set of bulls yet again have brought forth so much to offer. New genetics, but built with the same mindset that we have focused on for years. Producing cattle that work in the harshest of climates, while focusing on what works for the commercial rancher. Like every year, we have put this set together with an intensive culling process. Foot structure, docility, performance, and fertility are our major categories for culling. Developed in the flatlands of the North Dakota tundra, these bulls have seen temperatures from -60 degrees F, all the way up to 110 degrees F. Talk about intense climates. We are certain that these boys can go anywhere and be progressive and long lasting.
Buy with confidence in our program. We take pride in what our offering possesses. We are always welcoming to phone calls. Calving, breeding, selling, buying…..anything cattle or just life in general! This cattle market is BOOOMING. Now is the time to invest for the long run. Increase the efficiency of your cow herd. Buy bulls that will give you the return that you deserve. Buy with confidence because L83 is “The Brand You Can Trust”
Sincerely,
The L83 FamilyIt goes without saying, the beef business is witnessing and forecasted to see record times. Never before has the producer been on the receiving end of such a significant payday, and the return on investment in growth genetics been so valuable. Each and every added pound that can be gained as a result of genetic heterosis will be passive profit passed along into the hands of the ranchman. With that in mind, we are proud to welcome you to the most impressive set of high performance, big growth orientated herd bull prospects that L83 Ranch has ever marketed. As you read through the offering, take note of the impressive growth projections that the class of 2024 carries with them. You will find that close to 90% of the bulls cataloged rank among the top third or better of the registry for both weaning weight and yearling weight figures, so regardless of how you may like them on the videos, or in the sale pens, there is a high probability that you are setting your program up for added pay weight and profitability with the selection of any bull in the offering.
You too will notice the addition of several new sire groups being added to the roster, they can be held accountable for this programs push towards the leading edge of the Red Angus breeds growth parameters. Six Mile GSF Jolt 452J and Red Wilbar Intuition 832J have been welcomed with open arms, as they have lived up to expectations and potently injected massive amounts of performance in the first generation, yet have proven to uphold the generations of longevity, hardiness and structural design that has been bred into the bottom side of the equation. We are excited to showcase this offering, they truly are right for the times, and the kind that is going to add value to multiple facets of a cowman’s operation, first off with added pay weight and then in the long term with a sensational set of replacement females turned long term matrons.
We look forward to visiting with you about the bull offering, and then hosting you at Kist Livestock the afternoon of March 26th. The bulls have recently been videoed so if you cannot make it to the ranch or the auction barn to inspect the offering, you can trust in the authenticity of the video playlist that can be found on both the DV Auctions or Innovation AgMarketing websites. It would also be worth your time to reach out to Ben to discuss the offering, he knows no stranger, and is eager to talk not only about the offering but the pursuits of agriculture as a whole. As you begin to consider the investments you will make in breeding stock for this coming year, consider the addition of not only L83 and JK Angus genetics to your program but tying into operations that have made significant long-term investments to produce a product that is geared towards the success of their customers.

Guide to Genetic Data
ProS - Profitability and Sustainability is an all-purpose index that predicts average economic differences in all segments in the beef supply chain. This index is a combination of the breeding objectives modeled in the HerdBuilder and GridMaster selection indexes. In this index, replacement heifers are retained from within the herd and all remaining progeny are fed out to slaughter and sold on a quality-based grid. Traits included in this index include calving ease, growth, HPG, STAY, Mature Weight, Dry Matter Intake and carcass traits. The resulting index is expressed in dollars per head born (Index/High Value).
CED BW WW YW MILK STAY
HB - HerdBuilder is a maternal selection index that predicts the economic differences of animals for traits that are important from conception through weaning. Expressed as dollars per head born, HB is calculated based on the scenario that bulls are mated to heifers and cows, replacement heifers are retained and all remaining progeny are marketed at weaning. Traits included in the HB index include Calving Ease Direct, Calving Ease Maternal, Weaning Weight, Milk, Mature Weight, Heifer Pregnancy and Stayability (Index/High Value).
GM - GridMaster is a selection index that predicts the average economic difference of non-replacement calves through the postweaning phase of production. GM places selection pressure on growth, feedyard performance and carcass traits. Expressed as dollars per head born, GM is calculated based on the scenario that progeny are fed out to slaughter and marketed on a quality-based carcass grid. Traits included in GM include Average Daily Gain, Carcass Weight, Dry Matter Intake, Marbling, Back Fat and Rib Eye Area (Index/High Value).
Calving Ease Direct predicts differences in the percent of calves born unassisted out of 2-year-old dams. (Percent/High Value)
Birth Weight predicts differences in actual birth weight of progeny. (Pounds/Low Value)
Weaning Weight predicts differences in 205-day weaning weight. (Pounds/High Value)
Yearling Weight predicts differences in 365-day yearling weight. (Pounds/High Value)
Milk predicts differences in weaning weight attributed to the milking ability of the animal’s daughters. (Pounds/High Value)
Stayability predicts differences in the ability of an animals’ retained daughters to remain productive in the herd – calve every year –through 6 years of age. (Percent/High Value)
Marbling predicts differences in marbling score – amount of intramuscular fat measured at the 13th rib. (Marbling Score Units/High Value)

L83 Dagger 24L is the result of combining generations of cow power from either side of the pedigree, to create a herd bull with the credentials to stand at the forefront of the breed. Those who have seen him realize that phenotypically he rises to the top as one of the most powerfully built, structurally sound and eye appealing studs we have produced to date. His beautiful PIE Cinch 4126 sired dam was purchased from John Lee of Arizona and stems back to the prolific RMS Perfection donor female that bridges the gap of EPD and phenotypic excellence. He came to the weaning pen with over 800 lbs. of pay weight and has accelerated in his growth curve ever since. He is also recognized as the Champion Spring Bull Calf from the 2023 Canadian Western Agribition and the 2024 National Western Stock Show.

Not only can you forecast the added performance from his real-world data, but genomically he tabulates to being the source of pay weight and growth with top 24% WW and top 27% YW figures. We love the added bone and rugged design of this long sided and big muscled stud, this is the kind that stockmen will quickly find if they are searching for power bulls. Maternally he stems back to the L83 Lacey 675D matron through a young CSF Red Zone 1C daughter that is set for big things in the future.

The Red Wilbar Intuition 832J sons are certainly all we could have hoped for from a design and build standpoint. They are cattle that come round bodied, heavy muscled and still function in their structural kind. JK Lone Star will supply all the phenotype necessary to raise a group of calves that attract a premium when it’s their time to go through the sale barn. The sound structure and fault free design of this maternally driven sire makes us excited to put his daughters into production down the road, particularly when they will carry the backing of the storied cow families like you find in support of Lot 3. He stems back to the prolific WEBR Ms Ellie 1024 female that needs no introduction to Red Angus enthusiast.

L83 Layton 36L is the blood red son of Intuition 832J that is long sided and built to inject extra growth potential, if you’re searching for a super complete and balanced herd bull that will add pounds when it comes to weaning time then mark him for inspection. His Power Take Off sired dam is a full sister to the L83 Fannie 820F female that Zane showed to success. With 800 lbs. Coming to the weaning pen, he has always been one to catch attention, and we think he will find many friends on sale day.
L83 Luverne 29L is a direct son of the legendary, L83 All Girl 20A donor female that has reached six digits in lifetime earnings, of that over $100,000 is accounted for in daughters alone. With seven natural progeny to her name she still records an impressive, 722 lbs. average for weaning weight and a 101 DMPPA at 11 years of age. This dark hided, early March born son is maturing into an impressive, heavy muscled and rugged herd bull that is ready to go to work and his structural integrity suggests he will for a long time to come.

Phenotypically he is deep bodied and masculine, with a big set of feet and legs that will help him to cover cows out in big country. At weaning time L83 Hotwire 21L was ahead of the pack, and ever since has continued to increase this gap.

The Six Mile GSF Jolt 452J sons are powerful! We look forward to hearing from happy customers when the progeny of his sons hit the scales and prove the hype we have around them. Not only do they have performance but they more than surpass the strict structural checklist each bull goes through before making the sale pen, they combine power cattle with productivity. L83 Voltage 18L is supported with growth traits ranking in the upper echelon of the breed that include top 8% WW, top 5% YW and top 5% ADG. He stems from a young female that we purchased from Wasem Red Angus that is already proving to be worth the chips.
L83 Amped 3L follows in the family tradition of herd bulls of excellence. His maternal brother L83 Krush 39K was an absolute beast in terms of power, performance, and overall substance, he sold last year to Mathern Ag. The cow family that stands behind 3L is also responsible for producing L83 Super Duty 244Z and L83 Clint Eastwood 76C, both herd sires that were purchased by Six Mile Ranch of Canada. Here we have a real performance stud that records top 9% WW, top 7% YW and top 7% ADG figures, to promote his position towards the cutting edge of growth bulls to sell.

The Six Mile GSF Jolt 452J x Six Mile Game Face 164Y mating has proven on several occasions to unlock the genetic power from either side of the equation. L83 Lumber Jack 5L is a sappy middled, loose hided and fluid moving bull that we think could generate a heck of a set of replacement females alongside a powerful and heavy weighing set of premium quality feeder cattle. There is no questioning the potential for profit that 5L will generate once you inspect his EPD profile that is highlighted by a WW figure that ranks in the top 10% of the registry. His tenured dam, L83 Bindy 122B has created an impressive success story during her decade within the cowherd.

DSWith some of the leading predictions for injecting weaning weight and yearling weight of the entire offering, it makes logical sense to add L83 Linton 28L to your shortlist for sale day inspection. In a time and market where any added growth is met with significant financial reward, now is the time to make investment in your cowherd’s future. Feel the results of performance genetics through added pounds at the weaning pen, and in turn more dollars in your pocket.
You will find that this Six Mile GSF Jolt 452J son has the most appealing birth weight of his sire group, and the same trend continues with his CED and BW figures. Yet no sacrifices will need to be made when it comes to the significant additions of pay weight and performance that he will inject into his progeny. He ranks top 11% WW, top 14% YW and will be the source of valuable pounds.
L83 Langdon 20L is the late maturing, pound heavy stud that with every stage of development continues to impress. Come time to run over the scale at a year he impressed with a 1300 lbs. plus yearling weight to ratio a 109 among his contemporary group. He is extra burly and heavy muscled, and we appreciate his extra masculinity. His maternal brother in the 2023 bull sale, L83 Kolt 38K sold to Jared Werning Cattle of South Dakota, and this year’s model follows in a similar tradition of phenotypic excellence.
DSThe appropriately named, L83 Lion 26L is certainly the kind that stands at the front of the pack. He is incredibly stout featured, big and wide in his structural build and has been heavy on the pounds at every measurement we have taken of him. His EPD tabulations reads with the same expectations for his progeny, and we expect them to be rapid in their growth curve. Take note of his top 9% WW, top 12% YW & top 19% ADG all while still ranking top third of the breed for STAY.
SPower in the blood sells here with the combination of Six Mile GSF Jolt 452J and a full sister to L83 2Strong 13F. This big time performance bull has both the genomic predictions and raw data that indicate that his progeny are going to lead the pack from early on and only continue to space themselves apart from the rest of the calf crop. L83 Lisbon 8L was on the front end of his contemporary group at yearling time, ratioing an impressive 108, likewise his EPD’s read impressive, with a top 4% WW ranking, top 3% YW, top 5% ADG and top 18%
We are excited about what these Jolt 452J sons can do for our customers from a growth and performance stand point, they are going to be a great compliment to the sire groups we have used to date to inject a heavy dose of pay weight.
L83 Lewis 38L is extra smooth, long bodied and complete from end to end and we think he has the extra density it takes to add pounds when running over the scale. We love to look at this powerful stud as he struts around the pen, maternally he is supported by a 102 DMPPA RED T-K Raptor 26E daughter from the Autumn cow family.
L83 Spark 17L is an obvious option if you’re looking to find a herd sire prospect that will inject serious amounts of scale pressure to a calf crop in a single generation. This Six Mile GSF Jolt 452J son has impressed when it came time to run across the scale, and there appears to be no slowing down or lack of gas in the tank because he continues to impress with maturity. His dam has been a steadfast supplier of high growth cattle, and records a 770 lb. average weaning weight on the 6 progeny she has brought to the weaning pen. Power and performance are exactly what you will get here.
L83 LEWIS 38L
L83 SPARK 17L
If you find yourself opting for the impressive growth and performance of the Six Mile GSF Jolt 452J sons but worry about sacrificing calving ease then L83 Lamoure 9L needs to be one you mark for inspection. The curve bending growth pattern here should appeal to cattleman from either end of the spectrum, allowing for stress free calving seasons and added dollars in your pocket when it comes to marketing those same progeny.

Here we have a prime example of curve bending genetics, this lead off Wheel Stark 67G son entered the world with a 72 lb. birthweight but impressively flipped to a 715 lb. weaning weight, and he never took his foot off the gas as he accelerated towards 1223 lbs. at a year to record a 102 YWR. Trace his pedigree and you will find that his quality comes by no fluke as he is a maternal brother to L83 Hamlet 9H who sold to Twedt Red Angus. He records very acceptable CED, and BW figures, along with his top 13% WW and top 18% YW numbers. His ability to add long term cowherd profitability is reflected by his top 28% HB index.
This stud needs serious consideration from both a genetic progression and investment standpoint, his most favorable traits align with the trends of the business, and we think he flawlessly combines genomic and phenotypic excellence. The STRA Relentless sired cattle are the buzz of the business this season because of the ultimate profitability predictions that they offer, and along with that a phenotypical build that foreshadows the ability to be able to back up the science in the real world. The production records of the most recent generations of his maternal linage are flawless, and we look forward to the opportunity to breed from his dam that we purchased from Lost River Livestock. L83 Lidgerwood 10L sports some of the most impressive EPD traits of the entire offering, including a top 2% ProS, top 12% HB, top 8% HB, top 24% BW, top 8% WW, top 14% YW, top 1% Milk, top 2% HPG and top 3% MARB.

Yet JK Laramie stands out from the pack as being one of the most elite they have raised to date. Regardless of where your selection criteria begins you will find quality here, he is a bull, out of a first calf heifer, that embodies beef bull characteristic, with impressive muscle shape, explosive stifle design, impeccable foot structure and added length of spine, he is one that is sure to add real world quality and genuine beef production advantages. Numerically he elevates his position to the front of the offering for his ability to massively increase weaning weight, yearling weight, average daily gains and carcass weight. His real-world data affirms the science, as he recorded 108 ratios for both weaning and yearling weights.

A high performing SLGN Bojangles 479B daughter forms the base for JK Larado.

The dark hided sons of Smoky Y Ozark 9131G begin with L83 Lowery 58L. A favorite sire group of many, the 2024 crop of sale bulls are impressively balanced and well-constructed again, and while they may be younger in age they look to be the kind that will be ready to cover cows on big spreads. 58L proved that he has plenty of real-world performance embedded within with his 103 WWR and 108 YWR.

Even though he sports some of the most elite performance numbers, Lone Oak 1L is still one of the leading calving ease options you will find selling, March 26th . If you appreciate cattle that come light and easily, but still mature with extra mass, shape and density then pay attention to this early maturing son of Six Mile Mossy Oak 175H. Here we have the cowboys delight, the kind of sire that adds versatility and options for those that need a herd bull that can be trusted during calving season, but still sires cattle that weigh heavy come market time. He is the oldest bull in the offering, and will be ready to see cows shortly after sale day.
We have aligned some of the most influential sires in the history of the L83 Ranch, both Smoky Y Ozark 9131G and MCKY Josey Wales 8731 ET appear within the two most recent generations of L83 Latona 35L’s pedigree. If you have followed our program you realize we place selection pressure on the kind that are low maintenance, easy keeping, and will thrive under the hard environmental stresses of the region, that’s exactly the kind that 35L will generate.
The second son of L83 Jagger 7J is long sided and big scaled. He stems from a young Red T-K Raptor 26E daughter from the Bronte cow family that originated in the Messmer program. If you’re looking to add some extension and eye appeal without making compromises to the easy keeping ability of your calf crop then 7J becomes as a very logical option. His replacement heifer daughters will be in demand!

The Tradition
Some folks just don’t get it. They think owning cattle makes no sense. It takes too much time, too much equipment, not to mention the expense. But the fondest memories of my life -they might think sound funnywere made possible by Mom and Dad, ‘cause they spent the time and spend the money. You see, the most important lessons helping values grow so strong, come from loving cattle and passing the tradition on.
