2023 SIRE DIRECTORY
DEUTERONOMY 28:8
WELCOME AND THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO VIEW OUR SIRE DIRECTORY. WE ARE BEYOND EXCITED TO LAUNCH THIS NEW ENDEAVOR.
What started as a small effort to obtain new genetics for our program and bring them to the Canadian marketplace transformed into a greater opportunity. In 2021 we were blessed with the privilege of marketing semen for Griswold Cattle in Canada. We can’t thank John and Jeannie enough for putting their trust in us to market their genetics. Since then, this has evolved into an endeavor that we wish to pursue with the utmost intent.
For those of you that know us, you know our heart lies in the Maine-Anjou breed. Our commitment to source high quality and genetically unique MaineAnjou sires will be unmatched. The Simmental bulls available are of great notoriety, and backed by the breed’s most highly regarded matriarchs.
It is our objective to serve you with a genuine breeder to breeder connection, and offer our honest opinion on the sires from firsthand experience. As this venture grows and diversifies by breed and genetics, we stand by our word that every bull we market is one that we believe in, would use ourselves, and share in the excitement of you utilizing those genetics in your program.
Justin
WE ARE PROUD DISTRIBUTORS FOR ALL CANADIAN QUALIFIED GRISWOLD SIRES. We truly appreciate the opportunity to work with John, Jeannie, and the entire G- team. John and Jeannie have a passion for great cattle, and consistently offer the best genetics in the industry. Please contact us for any Griswold Bulls or questions you have!
The Lord will send a blessing on your barns and on everything you put your HAND TO. THE LORD YOUR GOD WILL BLESS YOU IN THE LAND HE IS GIVING YOU.

FIRST EDITION WAS THE LEAD-OFF BULL IN THE CHAMPION PEN OF MAINEANJOU BULLS AT THE 2019 NWSS. First Edition will transmit punch and power into his calves, big boned and footed, added length of spine, but will not sacrifice center-body. His offspring come with added eye appeal, and possess a proud carriage in their front 1/3. First Edition can be bred to a variety of cows with similar results, and his pedigree gives him a lot of mating versatility being an outcross to Garth, I-80, and Whiskey derivatives. You can look into his maternal-oriented pedigree and find some of the breeds most potent cow families including Pannell Miss 4072, GVC Jazzmyn 001L, & RSCC Roxbury 707L. With cow families like that it comes as no surprise that his maternal influence may be his most sought after characteristic. All calves to date have been solid color-patterned.

ALL ACCESS WAS A HIGHLIGHT OF THE 2022 GRASS TO GRID BULL SALE. THE LEAD-OFF MAINE-ANJOU BULL THAT TOPPED THE LIVE LOTS. An interesting pedigree, this Garth son is out of Live Action’s full sister, arguably two of the hottest bloodlines in the breed. I would describe this bull just as his pedigree reads, the power and punch of Garth, combined with the look and design of Live Action. In the flesh this bull sets down on enormous bone and foot, attractive in his design, possesses an immense amount of skeletal width and muscle shape, good haired, and is arguably a nickel softer in his rib cage than his sire. We think this bull can be used in a variety of breeding applications with great results. If adding power and substance are a priority for your next calf crop, this young sire should be on your list.

A POWERFULLY CONSTRUCTED GRONC SON THAT TOPPED THE KELLY CATTLE CO. RIGHT DIRECTION BULL SALE IN 2021. Essential Business is as complete as they come being structurally sound, and combining a stout build, killer look, and great hair. He is siring sons with added muscle, ruggedness, and large scrotal size, yet females that are elegant in their makeup. A must use sire this spring that can be utilized with the utmost confidence by Maine-Anjou breeders, but Club-Calf guys pay attention here as well, we feel this bull could be a great option for your carrier cows to add performance yet maintain style and hair.

A PROVEN CALVING EASE BULL THAT WE FEEL IS VERY VERSATILE IN HIS MATING OPPORTUNITIES. Makin Moves boasts a 72 pound birthweight, and his first calves have come with incredible ease on first calf heifers of many different breed compositions. His pedigree is absolutely stacked with calving ease and maternal power, going back to MINN Styles Greatest 246E ET, and his dam is a Databank daughter out of the renowned MINN Katie 108C. We love this bull for his structural integrity, killer look and design. This young sire is a calving ease solution for the club calf enthusiast to open up those first calvers while retaining value in their progeny, or for Maine-Anjou breeders that are in search of a fresh pedigree with cow power built in. Being a red-carrier only adds to his potential. Using Makin Moves will be one of the best moves you can make this spring!

BLACK LABEL WAS THE 2018 CHAMPION MAINETAINER BULL AT AGRIBITION. A QUICK TICKET TO INJECT IRISH WHISKEY GENETICS INTO YOUR PROGRAM. Look to Black Label to sire unmatched style and design, in a softer made functional package. His daughters are a testament to his true maternal capabilities as they set up great udders, and are productive cattle in themselves. This bull has a pile of versatility, he has been used with great results for breeding cattle, club calves, and semen has been used heavily in commercial blanket breeding applications. We have used Black Label successfully, and with confidence on heifers, and to date his progeny have been solid patterned. Now deceased. PHAC. Owned with: Roch Springs Cattle
I-DELIVER COMES FROM A DECORATED PEDIGREE IN THE SHOWRING AND HAS MADE A STATEMENT IN THE LAST FEW YEARS IN CANADA. In just the past few years I-Deliver has sired more Champions than any other Maine-Anjou bull in Canada, including 2 consecutive Champion bulls, and Champion and High-Selling Heifers at Agribition. Look to I-Deliver to sire cattle with extra look, dimension, and structural integrity. Distributed for: Griswold Cattle, LLC.

MATERNAL SISTER BKMT FAIR & SQUARE
IN DENVER 2020, GAME ON WAS OUR FAVOURITE BULL IN THE YARDS. Game On was the lead-off bull in the Champion Pen of Three Maine-Anjou bulls that year and boasted a 17.59 in. REA, while on the hill his 3/4 maternal sister BKMT Fair And Square was crowned Reserve Champion Maine-Anjou Female in the 2020 Open Show. Game On was named Champion Maine-Anjou Bull at the 2020 American Royal, and later he was named Reserve Champion Maine-Anjou Bull at the 2021 Cattlemen’s Congress in Oklahoma. Game On is very strong skulled, stout made, robust in his rib shape, and sets down on a strong set of feet and legs. His first calves have topped sales, including Jirl Buck’s 2022 Spring Edition Sale where 15 Game On Heifer calves averaged $15,643, and later that fall at Buck’s Fall Premiere sale the Game On heifer calves again averaged $15,000. Game On is siring his calves with an unmatched look and design, and they come a touch softer middled than most Garth derivatives. Game On is here to stay and will impact this breed for years to come.

BET ON RED IS ARGUABLY THE MOST EXCITING BULL TO HIT THE SIMMENTAL BREED IN YEARS. Study this bull hard he is stylish, sound on the ground, and robust in his rib cage and muscle pattern. Even more intriguing is his pedigree. Four shots of the 8543U cow line up two up on top, two on bottom to create as unique of line-breeding result to as great of a cow as you could possibly make. 8543U may go down as one of the best and highest revenue generating females ever in the Simmental breed.

We have had several top breeders tell us their County O calves are their very best! Regardless of what breed you raise this is a bull that is the right kind. He’s moderate framed, big hipped, stout through that lower 1/3, has all the rib you could want and still is able to do that with the front end that you simply do not find in the Simmental world. Simply put he’s a purebred that looks like a half blood. Distributed for: Griswold Cattle,LLC.

This is a performance and a production oriented bull all in the same package. Husker was our top seller in the 2019 Grass to Grid.

Guardian is the top number bull in the entire nation, watch his video, he’s not a glorified numbered Angus, he has MUSCLE, power, and look. The Simmental breed was meant to add power to your cow base, you don’t have to compromise if you want to use a bull with an impeccable genetic profile. Scheifelbein in Minninsota sold 20 Guardian sons that averaged $7,000 and TSN Simmentals in South Dakota sold a Guardian son to Werning Cattle for $37,000. Guardian is a mature bull, there is no fluff to him. He is huge footed, solid good toes that point where they should, bone, substance, and powerfully made. The way the numbers read he ought to make you a heck of a set of replacements and the steers will feed like a dream. He has proven he can make bulls that demand a premium on a consistent basis.
