  We purchased Mr Franchise from Hueftle’s in the spring of 2018. He was a yearling bull at that time. He is a very impressive son of the very popular black-red carrier Spur Franchise of Garton sire. His HXC 100A dam is a Nebula P707 daughter, that is also the dam of the HXC Allegiance 5502C sire that is a very popular semen seller for ABS. To go along with an impressive pedigree, this young sire is Red and has a strong, and balanced set of EPDs, including top percentiles for Marbling, and Ribeye. His first calves came in the Spring of 2019 as Neil Hueftle leased him to use on some heifers. 7033E has been very important sire for our program. His calves are very good and the carcass characteristics are outstanding. This is a top herd bull.

We purchased Skipper at the Spring 2019 Ludvigson Sale. This bull is a full brother in blood to the $100,000 LSF SRR President 8177F bull selling at the same sale. 8169F is balanced in his profile and very strong in feed efficiency. We like the Commander bull and we love to see Night Calver in his pedigree. His first calves have been very impressive.

Bieber CL Stockmarket E119 is one of the hot bulls in the Red Angus breed. We found this son at Kniebel Farms where he was one of the top sellers on sale day for the fall of 2021. We love the disposition and balanced EPD profile in this young bull. He has his whole career ahead and we think it will be impressive. Pictured at 18 months of age.

We acquired General as the Lot 1 high selling bull at the fall 2021 Leachman Bull Sale. He is a very impressive young sire with a strong and balanced EPD profile. He has a 1% gridmaster index and a 1% overall pros index and you don't see that combination often. This young sire is a paternal brother to the Skipper 8169F Bull. We believe General has loads of potential. And he is a feed efficiently leader. Pictured at 18 months of age.

Capitalist is a black bull with a red gene. He is a son of the very popular LD Capitalist 316 Angus bull. His dam is a very productive and attractive daughter of 5L Bourne. Capitalist came from Sandbur where he was one of the high selling bulls on sale day. He provides some excellent outcross genetics for our herd.

We purchased a 10% interest in the Thomas Jefferson 55602 Angus bull in late 2017 and we had his first Red Angus calves born the Fall of 2018. 55602 is 100% Angus but has a red gene so he is a Black-Red carrier. His genetics are proven in the Angus breed for very strong carcass and feed efficiency qualities. We are very excited to bring these out-cross genetics into our program. Thomas Jefferson calves are very impressive. He will add frame and growth. Semen is available from GENEX

We purchased full possession and a 25% semen interest in Brown Pacesetter Y7170 in October of 2016 at the Broseco Ranch Dispersal Sale. Other semen interests in Pacesetter are owned by RA Brown Ranch and Broseco Ranches of Texas and Cedar Hill Farm of West Virginia. We were interested in Pacesetter as we had weaned calves out of him a couple months earlier and could see the quality of his progeny. Y7170 was born in 2011 and is a proven sire. This sire has a strong EPD profile and a pedigree of Red Angus greats including Nebula P707, Revelation P7021, and Brown Abigrace L7730. He is now deceased but semen is still available from Select Sires.

We raised the Rhodes Titonka Z721 bull.  He was a standout from the time he was a young calf.  He has been at work in the Ludvigson Program in Montana. His sire is the very popular Buffalo Creek Right Kind. His dam was a moderate, docile cow with a good udder and feet.  Titonka has sired numerous high selling progeny and his progeny have been tested as being very strong in feed efficiency tests.  This is demonstrated by a Dry Matter Intake (DMI) EPD in the top percentiles. He is a moderate size bull that puts growth and added mass in his calves. He is a bull that has it all and will improve feed efficiency in his progeny, which is an industry need.

Unfortunately we lost Night Calver in 2017. Night Calver was sired by the breed leader Messmer Packer S008 and out of a Big Sky R9 daughter from the Della cow family that is becoming one of the top cows in the breed.  We purchased Night Calver in the spring of 2011 where he was the lead bull in Ludvigson's sale. He had a good temperament and was a moderate sized bull.

In March of 2013 a Night Calver son topped the Ludvigson's sale at $75,000 going to Pitchfork T Ranch of Oregon and Lakeview Cattle Company of Idaho. Night Calver is a calving ease specialist without sacrificing growth and strong carcass characteristics. His sons and daughters are found in many top Red Angus herds in the country.

We purchased a 1/6 interest in Old Glory in the Fall of 2017. He is a full brother to the powerful, but short lived Leachman Pledge A282Z bull. Lee Leachman described Old Glory as follows:
"Leachman Old Glory A008D, a full sib to the breed leading Leachman Pledge, is one of the most powerful and unique bulls that we have ever encountered. Old Glory stands out among his peers in a way we have not witnessed since Grand Canyon sold as a yearling in 1998! This massive, 1,900+ pound bull moves with power and authority like a Hancock bred quarter horse. He significantly improves on Pledge with impeccable hoof and foot structure." His first calves came in the Fall of 2019. His calves are impressive and have as much growth as any sire we have used.
