Four Generations Strong

rasing good quality show cattle and seedstock since 1897.

The Bixler Ranch was homesteaded in 1897 approximately 6 miles northwest of Waynoka. In 1925, George Bixler purchased his first registered Hereford cows driving them on horseback twenty miles from east of Dacoma. George's son, Ray, continued expanding the registered Hereford herd selling bulls throughout northwest Oklahoma. In 1978, Stan, Ray's son, brought the first black cows into the breeding program starting the use of European breeds to stay in stride with the trends of the cattle industry. Clark, Stan's youngest son, is leaving his mark by continuing the decades of progressive breeding to keep pace with the demands of the cattle industry.

Dam: Thompson Donor 453 (Broker x Pathfinder)

Sire EPD: CED BW WW YW 13.2 1.6 79 113

Lot 14 is the first Purebred Simmental bull we have ever offered. He is out of an incredibly elite female who has stamped much of our Simmental program and is the mother of Turning Point. Turning Point sons topped the average of any sire group sold in our 2022 sale so you are familier with his breeding capabilities. Lot 14 is sired by the $205,000 W/C Bankroll. Genetics matter here, but this bull's build could sell you without the genetics. Whether you want to make elite Purebred Simmentals or some of the best half-bloods in the country, we believe this bull adds a tremendous amount of value and will leave an impact for generations to come. If you spend any time looking at Purebred Simmentals, you know you don't come across a Purebred built like this very often.

Sire EPD: CED BW WW YW

Good looking Turning Point son that is age advantaged. His stout Revival mother produced a full brother to Lot 15 that will be a sale feature in next year's sale as well. This is possibly the biggest boned Turning Point we have sold to date. He is not in quite the same condition as some of the other bulls, but he'll still do the same job as any of the bulls when you turn him out. With the success of the Turning Point bulls and females in production, we feel that Lot 15 will be a great investment for any program.

LOADED UP DOLLY

If you like them big and rangey, this is not your bull. I don't believe you could put more center body in a bull and we love him for that. This is the first of an impressive set of Loaded Up Dolly sons to sell this year. Donor 317 comes from mutliple generations of very successful Purebred Angus ET matings. We believe strongly in efficient, easy fleshing, stout cattle with a look and we have never sold a bull that fits that bill better than Lot 16.

Sire: Loaded up dolly (LOADED UP x PF First Class Dolly A351)

Dam: MSF Journey

This Loaded Up Dolly son is ripped! It's not common that you find a 3/4 angus bull with that type of muscle shape, bone, hair, and style. Loaded Up Dolly's mother was the Grand Champion Heifer at OYE in 2014 and his granddam has over $1.5M in progeny sales. Northern Improvement females produce sale highlights for us every year and Lot 17's mother has continued that tradition. Bid to own on this bull.

Lot 18 offers the most growth and chart-topping characteristics of the Loaded Up Dolly sons for the commercial cattleman. What is unique is that with the added frame size, he still maintains incredible depth of body, squareness, and balance. Backed by a good Journey female, this bull offers a variety of ways to use him and is hard to miss in the pen.

Donor 307 raised 2 of the top selling bulls in the last 2 sales. The Pembrook family showed a daughter of her that won her division at numerous national shows. We can't picture every Loaded Up Dolly son so we had to stop somewhere. We've used his half sib, Turn Key, heavily and he produced our top sire group born in the Spring of 2022. Lot 19 has the proven genetics to sire as good of a calf crop as any bull in the sale.

The youngest Loaded up Dolly in the sale is incredibly deep sided and easy fleshing. It's going to be a shame when we don't have any Journey females left because their rate of raising calves that make the cut for the bull sale is unbelievable. This is the type of bull we would like to have sire a whole pasture full of replacement females.

Buy him, give him 6 months to mature, and show your neighbors how smart you were. This is a leadoff quality bull in a younger package. The Coleman Angus program in Montana is known for raising some of top Angus females in the country and this Loaded Up son is backed by those maternal genetics. We're not overrun with baldy bulls this year, but Lot 21 could stand with the best of them any year.

Likely the last 134 son to ever sell. He is the result of an embryo mating from Donor 424 with multiple succesful full sibs. Another bull that could have been pictured. Lot 22 may offer the best attitude of any 134 son we have sold. We think this bull could click really well with a set of commercial Angus based cows.

Sire: Turning Point

Dam: A CROSS DIXIE ERICA A3080 (EXAR BISMARCK 3160B)

Sire EPD: CED BW WW YW

8.2 4 76.9 104.2

Cocky, long necked, baldy Turning Point son with a set of wheels that say he could chase cows all day in the roughest pasture. He's a little later maturing but he's deep bodied and has the pieces to prove why Turning Point sired the top selling sire group in 2022. This bull does not like to be by himself, which is odd for a Turning Point, but is fine when sorted with other cattle.

Lot 23

Lot 24 is stout hipped and bold centered. He's not as flashy as some of the past Turning Point's, but he's backed by a fancy Purebred Angus mother that we've retained replacement females out of. This is a dual-purpose bull that could fit a program wanting to raise replacement females and bulls or simply wanting to add pounds to a calf crop.

Sire: kb 52 (W/C Loaded Up x Angus)

Dam: 5312 (occ x-cel)

This may be the best performance option of all of the Turning Point sons. He's thick ended, good boned, and has tons of center body. All of those traits equal pounds and that's what most of us get paid to produce. His mother could take an impressive picture in the pasture any day, but this bull is just a little too gentle natured to throw his head up and give you that incredible look. You'll appreciate that gentle nature once you own him.

509 is one of our 1/2 blood SimAngus cleanup bulls out of Meant To Be and Donor 0714. Lot 26 is another strong built, rugged made baldy bull that is going to increase the value of your calf crop. He's out of a deep bodied, feminine Wheelman daughter that gives you a great option to retain females or sell heavy calves. You can't go wrong with either choice.

The 805 Insight cow raised one of our top Angus bulls last year that got hurt before we started getting the bulls ready for the sale. He would have been a sale feature last year but thankfully she did it again when she got cleaned up by 509. This younger, baldy 509 son is built very similar to Lot 21 and we believe he could outproduce his sire.

There is nothing to hide with this bull because he is slick as an onion, but he's built so good that he doesn't need hair. He's big backed, exhibits tremendous expression in his rear quarter, and is whistle fronted. He reminds us of his sire, KB 52, but in a black brockle faced package. There are many routes a buyer could go with this bull.

KB 52 stamped this one nearly identical to Lot 28 but solid black and with a little hair. This is a bull that has really come on leading up to the sale and he won't be hard to find in the pen. It's hard to decide who gets pictured and this bull ended up being a little too relaxed to take the best picture. We won't be surprised when you tell us you overlooked this bull in the catalog but picked him out on sale day.

The lone red blaze faced bull of the sale this year and he is stylish. Another slightly younger bull that is going to keep getting better after sale day. He offers the most growth of any KB 52 son in the sale this year. This bull would mate up incredibly to a set of moderate Red Angus cows to add some hybrid vigor, or some low percentage Simmental females, or even Hereford cross cows to make baldies.

Lot 29 Lot

Lot 31

Stout boned, rugged built red SimAngus bull coming to you in Lot 31. His 734 mother is about as good of a cow as you could draw. If you own a set of Red Angus based cows and you want to add some punch to your calf crop and top the market for red calves, this might be the best option in the sale.
