Welcome!
It’s that time of year again when the temperatures start to cool, the trees start turning shades of fall colors, and Niobrara Red Angus assembles an offering of Red Angus females that are at the forefront of progress within the Red Angus breed. If you thought last year was a fun set of cows and breds to evaluate, you haven’t seen anything yet! The caliber of females from top to bottom in this year’s offering is incredible. Couple that with carrying pregnancies from some of the most influential bulls in the business, and I can’t possibly get any more excited about the opportunities that are to come.
Anything Jeff and Tami Keller do, they do to the highest degree. They desired to become the best within a breed of cattle they fell in love with almost a decade ago, and with their perseverance, patience, and determination, I truly believe their herd sits among the top of the breed in North America. The passion and dedication NIO has to make progress within the Red Angus breed is unwavering. Each spring brings a new calf crop, and we have been incredibly fortunate over the past few years to see forward momentum every single time. Jake and I have worked hard to do our jobs as a Farm Manager & Marketing Manager to help keep Niobrara Red Angus headed in a positive direction. To be honest, it’s been fun as hell to watch our dedicated efforts translate into success for the Keller Family & Niobrara Red Angus itself.
The first Red, Redefined Sale was held in 2020 in an online format, where a group of our best heifer calves were marketed. Since its inception, we’ve had in mind to utilize this as our production sale; an in person, live auction at the ranch in Niobrara, marketing the female seedstock of our operation. It’s been a blast recalling all of the information we’ve gathered on these cows throughout the years. There is truly something for everyone, and the level of honest, phenotypic quality in this group of Red Angus females will likely go unparalleled this fall.
We would love to invite each and every one of you to the ranch on Saturday, October 12th, where we will sell this incredible offering of Red Angus cows & heifers. If you have interest in adding to your existing herd, or starting from scratch within the Red Angus business, there is truly opportunity for everyone. We’d love to help you find the right Red Angus females to match your future goals.
We Appreciate You All, -Garrett Knebel

The Team &
Jeff Tami Keller, OWNERS of Niobrara Red Angus, were born and raised in Niobrara, Nebraska, both graduating from Niobrara High. Together, they are blessed to have three incredible sons: Sam, Jack, &; Ben. Tami (Leader) Keller’s family made their living as Angus breeders in the area, originating with her grandfather, John Leader. Aspiring to have a herd of their own, they chose Red Angus cattle and enjoy the opportunity Niobrara Red Angus gives their sons to be more involved in agriculture..
Jacob Bathke,
RANCH MANAGER, resides and oversees Niobrara Red Angus with his wife, Madison. He manages and oversees the daily operations of the ranch and is responsible for the wellbeing of the cattle. Jacob graduated college with a degree in agronomy, but he couldn’t leave his passion for cattle behind. Jacob is grateful for the opportunity to work with the Keller Family and their high-quality cattle. Even though most of his days are spent with cattle, he says what he loves most about his job are the people. He would also like to acknowledge and thank his family and friends who help him throughout the year.
Meg
Penrod, OFFICE MANAGER, is a lifelong resident of Lincoln, Nebraska. Meg received her BFA from the University of Nebraska – Lincoln and spent 12 years working in interior design. In 2019, Meg and her husband, Tanner, adopted their oldest daughter, Sloan, and two years later, they had a welcomed surprise when their second daughter Scarlett came along! Meg has spent the last several years at home raising their girls, but her love for working with people and passion for animals drew her to work for Niobrara Red Angus.
Garrett Knebel,
MARKETING MANAGER, resides in Bozeman, MT. There he owns and operates Harmony Hill, a progressive Red Angus operation focused on seedstock for the commercial cow-calf operator. With a degree from Oklahoma State University, Garrett’s main responsibilities for Niobrara Red Angus include marketing, consulting, breeding, and seedstock selection. In his spare time, he travels the country visiting with fellow Red Angus breeders and judging livestock shows.
Philosophy Vision and
In the simplest of description, our goal is to produce the most problem free, productive, profitable Red Angus genetics in the United States. After years of genetic selection and acquisition, having set the paper aside and sorting them based on their phenotypical strengths that allow them to remain profitable in herd, Niobrara Red Angus has incorporated some of the breed’s most elite genotypic cattle and traits, while not sacrificing the foundational basics of long-term, cow herd sustainability.
Cattle producers sell their feeder and slaughter cattle based on what they weigh. When investing in seedstock, it is important to be provided with actual performance data rather than only computer-generated projections that change weekly, can fluctuate dramatically and are only as relevant as the accuracy values behind them. EPDs are a tool for selection, and there are many different tools that should be utilized in making these decisions. Real breeding progress requires breeding beyond the numbers for realworld production traits. Selections and matings based on feet, udders, fertility, and pounds; that has created consistency, progress, and lessened the cost of mistakes.

Rarely do opportunities like this present themselves in the business of raising registered cattle. Having the chance to acquire a cow that the Red Angus breed knows by name, with a production record whose offspring have influenced the breed throughout many countries, is an opportunity that should not be taken lightly. In the prime of her life, U2 Hidee Ho 459D continues to produce some of the best calves the Niobrara program has to offer. Her most exciting sons may have been born this year that we anticipate will highlight our bull sale in 2025. With an average of 10 frozen embryos on 11 IVF cycles, and frozen totals as high as of 29, 21, and 18 on conventional flushes, she is our most fertile and prolific donor ever utilized in E.T. at Niobrara Red Angus. It isn’t necessary to go into the long list of high-selling progeny 459D has produced, but among them are some of the most influential Red Angus cattle we’ve ever raised; the mother of Dominion, a National Western Stock Show Grand Champion, and other sale-topping sons that are influencing registered programs throughout the world. U2 Hidee Ho 459D is a cow that will be remembered and appreciated for decades to come.

A phenotypically stunning, deep, dark red cow that has a standout record at Niobrara Red Angus is SUNR Nirvana 802. During my first season of managing the Bet on Red in Reno, Nevada, the legendary Bill Norris of Sun River Red Angus near Great Falls, Montana consigned this beautiful heifer that I simply couldn’t walk away from. Huge bodied, impeccable in her structural build, long and feminine in her appearance, 802 simply hasn’t missed while producing for NIO. My favorite calf to date was her 2023 born heifer sired by H/H Adventure 0054, that was one of the best heifers we’d raised last year. Having placed two sons in past bull sales, her calves are always recognizable for their incredibly dark shade of red. SUNR Nirvana 802 is of the quality to be placed into an E.T. program.

NIO LAKOTA 8045
We’re offering up some of our best with these fall calving cows, and NIO Lakota 8045 is among the most proven females in the entire offering. A beautiful, maternal, sound structured cow that’s entered the prime years of her life, 8045 has placed two sons into our past bull sales. She is a direct daughter of the legendary Six Mile Lakoto 35W from Six Mile Ranch, also sired by Six Mile Warcraft 254Z. We’ve seen the Warcraft daughters prove to be some of the most maternally dominant cows in the herd. Her most recent sale highlight, NIO Merit 3131 was one of the best Reputation sons on offer this past spring that sold to Grassy Meadows in North Dakota. CALVED SEPTEMBER 2ND, 2024, TO BIEBER SPARTAN E639. Sells with HEIFER calf at side.
NIO Mimi 9007 is a stunning young cow that’s also proven herself in a very short period of time. With a bred heifer in this year’s offering, and a red-hided 60H son that sold in the 2023 Bull Sale, the production record is clearly evident in the quality of her offspring. Moderate, sound structured, long bodied and clean made, she’s made an effective cow that’s quick to strike your attention in the pasture. A granddaughter of the immortal Damar Mimi W085, it’s mind-blowing to realize the consistent maternal line of power in this pedigree.

NIO Betty 0138 is a direct daughter of one of my favorite cows on the ranch, Blair’s Betty 608C. The ability of this cow line to produce an elite, high-level kind has been the epitome of consistency. Both calves, one son and one daughter, have hit our production sales here at Niobrara Red Angus. A balanced set of data, this Bonanza daughter is a stout constructed, powerful, wide-bodied animal who’s transmitting a quality look into all of her offspring.

Carrying the service to our herd bull STRA Ranch Hand 2010, you can expect a very high-quality calf at her side by sale day.

If you’re looking for a young cow with donor cow potential, you’ve got to check out NIO Ms. Dynamo 1292. Two years ago, her full brothers were in high demand, selling to DK Red Angus in North Dakota & Beitia Livestock in Nevada; both registered breeders. You talk about one stout, powerful, wide, cool looking, sound structured female! Unfortunately, we lost her first calf. But, Dynamo 35B is my favorite cow that was acquired from the U2 Ranch Dispersal, and I know there are much bigger and better things ahead for this young female that just simply had some bad luck her first time around. Don’t miss this rare opportunity; we don’t let this kind go very often.

It’s time you know why we’re so excited about STRA Ranch Hand 2010. In the spring of 2024, TAC Drifter H10 sons saw high demand, soon to highlight most semen company’s catalogs. But in 2023, I came across Ranch Hand in Twedt’s Sale, and even though Rick & Kaden beat us to the punch, we knew we couldn’t live without him. I am confident “Ranch Hand” is the most impressive Drifter son born to date. I knew Ranch Hand had the potential, but after weaning his first calf crop at NIO, I am more excited about this bull than ANY other bull NIO’s acquired to date. Owned in partnership with Rohrich’s Cutting Edge Ranch & Twedt Red Angus, Ranch Hand is THE BEST combination bull that we’ve ever seen. An unmatched combination of phenotype and genotype. Top 1% PROS, Top 1% HB, Top 2% CED, -5.1 to 106, Top 1% CEM, Top 1% STAY, Top 4% MARB. Outcross to most mainstream Red Angus pedigrees, we’ve got big plans for Ranch Hand at Niobrara Red Angus. Massive bodied, wide in his stance, powerful throughout, with phenomenal structural quality, this is the kind of bull that sets the breed a-buzz. With semen off-market, take advantage of the opportunity and be on the frontside of genetic progress with these females carrying his service.

When I saw 196G hit the picture pen, I wondered if Jake had lost his marbles. But… Jake lost his marbles a long time ago at Jimmy Dean’s… so I was less surprised. Haha. All jokes aside, U2 Larkaba 196G was a less intentional purchase from the U2 Dispersal. However, she’s proven to be an incredible asset and producer in the Niobrara program. I can clearly recall all three of her calves in my mind, having an upper echelon look of quality and balance. I’ve learned over time, scouring offerings of cattle looking for the most phenotypically flawless or overwhelming doesn’t always work out. That said, there are other cows in the offering that may slap you harder. But 196G will return you as much money as any cow in the sale. To boot, her indexes and data are pleasantly surprising and should allow for a wide array of mating options.

Most recently, this past spring, she raised an incredible John Wick son that sold to the Locken Ranch in North Dakota. Also in the Top 20% of the breed for Gridmaster, 484A has phenomenal a structural build and always raises calves with a bunch of look and balance.

A direct daughter of C-BAR Stony A305, 60D has proven to be a worthwhile asset to the Niobrara herd.

Her most recent contribution to the 2024 NIO Bull Sale, sired by Western, was one of the biggest, longest, heaviest bulls in the entire offering. With a beautiful udder that’s refined and square, I believe 60D is just entering the prime of her life.

Here’s a stunning John Wick daughter that’s backed by one of the best, most consistent producers in the entire herd, 633C. If you follow the NIO offerings, you’ll find her influence in some of the best cattle in the program. Top 25% for Gridmaster, her first son, NIO Reputation 2009, sold to Rafter C Reds of Clarkston, Washington. I just recently visited with Pete & Samee for a Bet on Red visit, and their son of 0228 is doing an incredible job for them, injecting a deep, dark red color with a top-tier structural build and substance of bone and foot. This is the kind of cow that will pay for herself time and time again

As most are aware, we chose to support the Red Angus Stakeholders Foundation this year by offering our “Pick of the Herd” at the National Convention in Lincoln, Nebraska. This comes by way of offering the Pick of our Bred Heifers. It’s worth noting, we have not sold any of our replacement heifers over the past year, and you are truly getting access to the best Niobrara has to offer. It’s a struggle, annually, to choose which bred heifers we want to highlight the Redefined offering. However, Jake & I both have this heifer marked at the top of our lists, and it’s easy to see why. After she left the picture pen, I looked at Jake and made mention that this bred heifer could be haltered and shown at the highest level, and I’d put her up against any that I’ve seen being exhibited this year. The darkest shade of red, this heifer is nearly flawless phenotypically. Balanced, sound, cowy and bold, it pains me to see this one leave the program. She’s a John Wick; enough said.

She’s the only one… and her SIX full brothers started the 2024 NIO Bull Sale this past spring. I remember this heifer vividly as a calf coming home from the cooperator, and I believe the sky is the limit with this Beauty. H/H Adventure 0054 died way too soon, but his stunning mother is where all his look comes from, Rojas Moonbeam 7102. That look was exactly what 113Z needed. NIO Beauty 3276 is a direct daughter of the immortal U2 Beauty 113Z, and the only Adventure daughter we have from the cow.

The future of Niobrara Red Angus is as exciting as it’s ever been. And it is females like NIO Bonniebell 3138 that have me revved up dreaming about the direction we’re headed. Her sire, NIO American Freedom 1005, has proven to be an elite asset for us at Niobrara Red Angus. He embodies our objective to bring a more structurally correct and powerful phenotype to the elite performance cattle of the breed. Now over a 1.16 on Marb., American Freedom offers calving ease and carcass quality without sacrificing an impressive phenotypic evaluation on foot. This heifer is a massive bodied, dark red, sound structured female that has an extremely productive look. From the A196 cow family, we know the maternal dominance here is strong. If you’re looking for a young donor cow with a relatively outcross pedigree to move your program forward, pay attention here. Mated the way she is, her first calf has the genetic potential to lead off most anyone’s bull sale. Niobrara Red Angus will retain a 1/3 Embryo Interest for future genetic access.

A -5.1 on BW, can you imagine the sons she has the potential to produce that will grab the eyes from bull procurement? She’s the kind that can. Backed by a granddaughter of B122, the Joplin cow family has the most picture-perfect udders on the place. Here’s another young female I believe could be used in E.T.

One of the most phenotypically flawless bred heifers in the offering! This direct daughter of past Canadian Agribition Champion, Six Mile Gloria 195B, is a beautiful, bred heifer that’s easy to appreciate. Personally, I’m a big fan of AHL Flashback 446B. Used widely across the breed, I’ve seen many impressive daughters of Flashback stand the test of time in cow herds across the U.S. Our goal was to add more punch, power, and mass to 195B with Flashback, and it worked here in 3284. If you enjoy selling haltered heifers, find this heifer before sale day. From 195B, she’ll consistently inject elite-level look into her calves, every time.

We talk about breds that could have been marketed as halter prospects, and no doubt, this heifer would have been one of them in an online sale. With as consistent of a producer as her mother is, I’m led to believe 3061 will do much the same.

We’re trying something different this year and offering a set of four bred heifers that we feel are extremely uniform and offer a producer a tremendous amount of value, together. These four Red Blood daughters are dark red, moderate, easy fleshing and sound structured. They are all due, A.I., on or around January 1st, 2025. Each female in this group comes from cow families that have been developed here at NIO and have proven to remain in herd. These paternal sisters fit together like peas in a pod.

Here is an opportunity to acquire three powerful daughters of U2Q President 60H that calve within a 21 day window. 3145 & 3279 are actually full sisters, both E.T. daughters from our U2 Syringa 71A donor cow. All three of these paternal sisters are Black-Red Carriers, meaning their calves have a 50% chance of being born red hided. These heifers are sound, easy fleshing, attractive females that would be a great addition to anyone’s herd.

Those credits are to be used within one calendar year from when the credit is offered. No cash refunds will be dispersed.
Livestock Mortality & Theft Insurance
It’s nearly impossible to have livestock without some deadstock. Unfortunately, our businesses trade a live product that can expire at any given moment, from a never-ending list of causes. It is important that your worthy investment is protected with an Annual Full Mortality & Theft Coverage policy. It is your duty as a purchaser of cattle in this sale to protect your investment from the wide array of unfortunate circumstances that come with the responsibility of owning livestock. We do not offer refunds if such unfortunate events occur. Either your policy does its job, or we will work with you to receive another animal of comparable value, so long as it still meets the criteria outlined in our Terms and Conditions. Please reference the Guarantee section of these Terms & Conditions.

Half Interest
On a few select lots we are offering half interest only. The buyer will receive all the show rights and will be responsible for all the show expenses related to such exhibitions. Whomever maintains possession of the animal after their show career, will receive the female’s natural calves in order to justify the female’s annual operating costs. Therefore, the other owner is not to be billed for half of the female’s operating costs. With respect to embryo production, the buyer and Niobrara Red Angus will rotate back and forth on who receives which flush/IVF opportunity; the first going to the buyer of said female. It is each party’s financial responsibility to pay for their flush entirely when it is their turn. All embryos from those flushes go to the owner flushing at that time, unless otherwise agreed upon before the flush/IVF occurs. Whomever is in possession of said female is required to make the female available for a flush or IVF in between each calving cycle. For additional questions, please contact Garrett Knebel.
