2. the regard that something is held to deserve; the importance, worth, or usefuleness of something
Welcome to our 2025 bull sale!
The cattle industry is an exciting place to be right now, and we’re glad you’re here. Unlike many operations, it’s just the two of us handling things most of the time, so our cows have to work hard for us. With limited time, we focus on producing practical, reliable bulls that will raise top-quality calves. They aren’t pampered or pushed too hard.
We invite you to stop by and take a look at these bulls. We’d be happy to help you select the right ones to fit your operation’s needs. We dedicate a lot of time to researching data and utilizing all available tools in the beef industry to ensure the bulls we offer will deliver accurate and reliable results in their progeny. The combination of EPDs, DNA, and phenotype we provide will help improve your herd at a competitive price.
For 30 years, we’ve been using artificial insemination on every female, ensuring consistent, dependable genetics. Wishing you a prosperous and blessed new year!

Longevity in the pedigree! Dam has 8 calves 105 WWR,
Outstanding herdsire. We have loved this one since he was born.Top 3% in all growth and carcass EPDs. This one will have to be used on black cows as he came back a carrier to delayed blindness defect. But our loss is your gain. One of the best we have raised.
We love these Final Print calves! Great look and genomics in one. Dam is a very big ribbed, east fleshing cow that has weaned 2 calves 105 weaning and 104 yearling.
