BEA Opportunist 211J is herd bull prospect that offers a pedigree stacked with females that are at the top of their production game. His dam has been a no miss producer annually and is the result of our ET program combining DLW 321A and River Hills U276, which is a combination that resulted in fleshing ability, performance, and carcass merit. His sire BEA 920G is quickly becoming a favorite when contemplating mating decisions. The 920G daughters are some of the easiest fleshing, soft middled brood cow prospects we have produced. His dam BEA 3117A is arguably the strongest purebred donor we have in production and his sire Brooking Conquest 7039 is a direct son of EA Rose 918 who is the most prolific donor at Brooking Angus Ranch whose progeny are some of the most sought-after genetics in North America. The opportunities are endless with a bull that combines this many outstanding females within a pedigree. Thank you for your consideration. Genomics, horned/polledand homo black tests will be available at the Futurity.

Joker is a very stout, sound, easy fleshing herd bull prospect that ranks in the top 2% in WW and 3% in YW. His dam is out of a past futurity champion TAU Unanimous that is moderate easy keeping with a beautiful udder. We are looking forward to your evaluation in this year’s futurity.

BARG Discovery 404J is a performance driven son of BARG Independence. He is thick made and bold ribbed and expresses plentiful eye appeal. Discovery has been one that has caught our eye since shortly after he was born, for his natural thickness and muscle expression that sets him apart. This year is our first calf crop out of BARG Independence 21G and we are impressed with the performance of his sons and daughters. They are big middled, and thick made and get out and travel with ease. On the Dam’s side Discovery is backed by BARG Sandy 404 which is an outstanding female in our operation and one that puts herself at the top because of the top-notch bulls that she presents to our bull sale year after year. With that, we thank you for your consideration as we present to you BARG Discovery 404J.

HTFM Hilltops Jet J102 is one bull that checks a lot of boxes. This 42% balancer bull is one that is easy to pick out of the crowd. This homozygous polled and homozygous black bull has a tremendous growth and carcass EPD profile with YG, REA, MB, and CW all being in the top 25% of the breed. Jet was born only at 78 lbs and weaned off the cow at 780 lbs. Both his WW and YW are outstanding showing in the top 15% and 10%. Jet is ultra-correct in his lines and sound from the ground up while still maintaining the herd bull look. From the profile Jet is long necked, smooth shouldered and super cool to look at. Not to mention, he is loaded with natural thickness and tons of muscle mass. Jet comes from a front pasture female, KKAC Emerald 703E. She was named Reserve Champion Balancer Heifer at the American Royal in 2017. She continues to produce great ones. Be sure to stop by and take the time to appreciate HTFM Hilltops Jet J102.

Thank you for your consideration. Hilltop Farms is committed to raising quality seedstock.

TAU Trigger 17J has been a standout from the day he was born. He is a 50% homo black and homo polled son of SAV Resource and is backed by one of our best donor cows. 17J is a high performing beef bull that offers a look of power, and structural integrity. Trigger is as thick as they come, wide topped and bold ribbed.

It’s also important to note his 803lb weaning weight for a ratio of 112. When you study his genetic chart, you can see that he brings a ton of growth to the table as he ranks in the top 10% for WW and YW EPD’s. If you’re looking for a bull to add muscle, and pounds to your calf crop then look no further. We are extremely proud of this bull and all that he brings to the table. We hope you feel the same when you evaluate him in OKC.

He is one that has always been easy to find and was certainly a standout all summer long. He is backed by a cow that is no stranger to the showring as BARG Sophia showed alongside her mother and twin sister winning several banners in the cow calf division. Sophia is a moderate framed female that exhibits a perfect udder and teat placement. She is a young cow that has loads of potential as Go Time is just her second calf. Combined with TJB Rebel Yell on the sire side BARG Go Time is one you can’t miss.

Like Nebraska’s state slogan “Nebraska may not be for everyone” but if you like them big boned, big footed, big bellied, and big topped all in a moderate frame then Nebraska just might be for you. Research the pedigree on the dam’s side. EGL A051 ET was a division winner in Denver and both her parents were National Champions. This one will keep your replacement pen full!

Phenotype that’s as good as any, a powerful pedigree and strong set of numbers! The red cattle seem to be in as high demand as ever and especially when they are really high quality and offer a power packed pedigree! A higher % red Homo polled son of the Cowtown Herd sire who has already proven he can generate not only ones that get it done in the ring but also ones that top sales and know how to get the job done in production. With siring winners and high sellers such as the National Champion GHGF Man O War, the $23,000 sale topper GHGF Cracker Jack who is working for Rupp Ranch, $13,000 GHGF Dodge City who was 2020 NAILE Champion Balancer bull and GHGF Lady Cassandra who was the Champion Purebred at American Royal and Reserve Champion Purebred at this summer’s Jr Nationals for the Rumflet family. Add in the fact that he nursed an outstanding Traveler 004 daughter who came out of the SCHROEDER Ranch program in SD and has been an outstanding addition to our program. Much like his brothers to sell the last few years we think Ragweed sets the standard when you build them from the ground up being super correct in his angles, good in his joint work and still offering a tremendous amount of mass and tops it off with a killer look. This guy has been a standout from the word go and one we think has the ability to help push any program and the breed a step further.

I don’t know that we have been more fired up about one than we are about this guy since his dad was a calf!

This guy is a product of mating what we feel like are the best two animals to ever come out of our program and quite honestly probably the best two cattle to ever walk the pastures at Green Hills! Out of the $57,500 valued syndicated National Champion GHGF Man O War sire and the GHGF Delilah 655D donor who was the 2019 Supreme Balancer female at Jr Nationals and 2018 NAILE Jr & Open show Champion female. Not only has his dam excelled in the ring but she went on to be just as impressive in production: selling her first calf GHGF Dodge City for $13,000 and maintaining a 339 calving interval while being conventional flushed and raising 3 bull calves to a 730 avg weaning weight. Let me be the first to say boy did this mating exceed all of our expectations and then some! Not only does Chasing Dreams offer a pedigree that’s second to none, but he is just as impressive in person! Not often does one offer this kind of look and presence while still bringing a ton of mass, a super square build; yet still staying so good in their body shape and can flat out move. All while posting very respectable weights and offering a strong set of numbers. This guy is one we think has a ton to offer and can bring a fresh pedigree that’s proving to get the job done in all aspects.
