Power cow deluxe! If you want to know what she can produce, just take a look at her bull calf. Not to mention she has a pedigree that’s filled with cattle that have been big time producers for us. This is the sort of cattle that never go out of style. Absolutely massive and powerful while still looking like a lady. If I was looking to reciprocate profits now and in the future, I’d make sure you have the winning bid.
Bred to R Valor 4571
Everyone that has looked through the bulls to date have been intrigued by this Land Profit son. As stout hipped and stifled as you can make one but most importantly, he still has the athletic structure a herd bull needs. While he may be a little higher in the birth weight column, study his growth figures and you’ll realize this pull has a place within our industry. It’s hard to get all the added growth and performance while still making cattle that are neat and attractive to look at. The progeny out of this one will certainly be high performing cattle that offer extra look needed to compete in the show ring and produce front pasture type of cows for years to come.

Bull | 01/28/2024
Land Profit certainly stamps his calves a certain way. Super stout, burley, and more moderate in their frame size. We love this bull and what he brings to the table. We retained his maternal brother and ran him on cows this spring, otherwise, I’m not sure he would be looking for a new area code. Complete, balanced bulls don’t come along everyday, and having the ability to make the fault free kind of cattle is certainly an asset to any herd.

Bull | 01/02/2024
A son of our bull Valor back on a show heifer that was really successful for us in 2021 that’s an About Time daughter. Big outlined bull with a balance set of data that’s absolutely a specimen from the side. Yet, get on top of him and he still has plenty of stoutness and shape. This is the sort of bull that will bring more size and look into your herd, which is more valuable than ever in the cattle industry

The lone Platinum in the sale, and she is a looker from the side.

Another Screen Saver daughter that has added punch and power. The burley bodied, easy fleshing cattle never seem to go out of style when it comes to what is considered consistently profitable cattle. It’s so easy to appreciate how neat she is in her underline balance and how she uses her hind leg. Lot 14 is scurred.
