Larson's Lost River Livestock 15th Annual Production Sale
15th Annual Production Sale
Saturday, February 22, 2025 2:00 pm (CT) at the farm, Clearbrook, Minnesota
Welcome to Larson’s Lost River Livestock 14th Annual Production Sale
Welcome to our family’s 15th annual production sale. These 15 production sales are the culmination of 40 years of breeding and selling seedstock to cattlemen across the Midwest and beyond. Our program continues to build on itself and we now are recognized as a premier breeder at the local, regional and national level, thanks to your support. We are thrilled to have you join us on February 22 and honored for the chance to be part of your breeding program. A bull is a significant investment and will influence your herd for many years. But we want a Lost River bull to be more than an investment in your herd, it needs to be an investment in your future. The bulls in these following pages have the potential to be just that, part of an exciting future.
Our disciplined breeding program is balanced between contemporary and time-tested traits. We aim to combine genotype with the right look to get to the heart of what makes the most money in all phases of production. The cattle offered in this year’s sale continue to move toward the top of their respective breeds for the carcass traits demanded by today’s beef packer and consumer. However, this improvement has not come at the cost of pre and post weaning performance, our cattle still rank in the upper echelon for growth traits. We also continue to watch those traits important for adding females back in the herd, milk production, longevity and calving ease. As you study the data, note that we continue to put pressure on milk production and stayability. Our milk production number continues to move toward average and stayability continues to improve. Those trends will help ensure our cowherds last longer and do so more economically. Finally, the calving ease and birth weight numbers continue to trend toward breed average. And certainly not least this is one of, if not the most, eye appealing set of cattle we have ever offered. We cull hard on foot quality, udder attachment and fertility, the traits which ultimately affect cowherd longevity.
Your success is our success, and without your new and repeat business, we could not continue to live our passion, raising world class beef cattle! Please join us at the farm for fellowship and good cattle conversations on February 22. We would love to show you our cattle anytime, including our open house on Saturday afternoon, February 15. Thank you for your support and we look forward to seeing you on sale day.

Welcome to the 15th Annual Larson’s Lost River Livestock Annual Production Sale. Through the years we have sold bulls to many top seedstock producers and larger commercial producers throughout the U.S. The quality of LRL bulls is becoming one of the strongest in the Gelbvieh/Balancer breeds with some of the top genetics at the highest of quality. The 2025 exceeds all past years of quality genetics, performance and carcass traits. Please take a look at the videos on DvAuction as you will see how impressive the 2025 sale offering is in both the bulls and females selling.
The 2025 sale offers a wide range of genetics from three breeds that continues to produce quality at the highest level with more advanced data and predictability than previous sale offerings from Larson’s Lost River Livestock Production Sale. LRL continues to use top AI sires in the industry (some of these produced by Larson’s Lost River Livestock) and an extensive embryo transfer program to produce a product that excels in all facets of the industry. As you study the bulls you will find these bulls represent calving ease, performance, high carcass values and eye appeal. I take the opportunity to get through the cow herd every year to see the dams and sisters to these bulls and females selling. The factories you find in the pastures here are truly amazing females with high volume, soundness and milk that converts to the calves.
When you purchase a bull or female from LRL, you are getting the program with a high quality product. Past sale offerings are working for breeders nationwide with excellent success. These bulls and females are bred to acclimate and work in many weather climates with very little maintenance. We are proud of the success breeders are having with the LRL product. Seedstock and commercial producers are giving us reports throughout the year of the success they are having with Larson’s Lost River Livestock genetics.
Feel free to call or text with for any updated information or an evaluation of any animals in the sale offering.
Sincerely,

TPG JACKPOT 7551B
Again, welcome to our 15th Annual Sale and again, just as in previous years, we lead off the sale with a bull we feel has tremendous potential to positively affect the breed. Equillibrium brings so many economically relevant traits to the table with calving ease, growth, fertility and carcass quality, he’s a bull we’re super excited about. Start off with his beautiful dam; she’s comes from the same flush that produced the $15,500 top selling female from the 2024 ND Golden Rule going to Coles Bend Cattle in KY and a $14,000 bull that sold to Chimney Butte Ranch in 2023. Coles Bend just offered a set of embryos out of the K82 female that fetched $2000/embryo on the National Sale in January, so needless to say, very in demand genetics. Equilibrium is sired by our all-time high seller, Dynamic J164 who is doing great things for us as well as our friends at J&K Gelbvieh and Colesbend. Dynamic semen isn’t available on the open market right now and likely won’t be in the future so tie into this bull and add those potent genetics to your herd. Homo black, homo polled, high percentage purebred with excellent EPDs and a tremendous pedigree, don’t miss out on one of the premier opportunities of 2025.

Super long bodied, attractive patterned bull out of a rock solid Connealy Courage daughter who is a 3-time Dam of Merit award winner. She’s raised numerous calves that have reached the sale for us over the years including a son in 2021 going to Marvel Flateland , a daughter in 2024 going to Larry Harrold in MO, a daughter in this sale as lot 77 and then this stud. Homo black, homo polled, Top Dollar qualified, big time performance and a ton of style out of a dynamite cow, what more could you ask for?

Another really stylish Dynamic son out of the Nellie line of cows. You’ll find the Nellie cow family peppered among the lots in this catalog and for good reason, the progeny out of Nellie cows are consistently some of our best. Balance M34 is Top Dollar qualified, homo black, homo polled, heifer safe and is going to sire an awesome set of feeder calves that’ll keep the buyers coming back year after year with how they perform in the lot and on the rail.
LRSF NET FORCE M56
3
There were 7 purebred Gelbvieh bulls born in the spring of 2024 with a minimum MARB EPD of 0.67 and an FPI value over 92, this guy was one of those bulls. When you take his combination of breed leading MARB and FPI, then add in his negative BW EPD, his totally outcross dam and his sire being the exclusive Dynamic bull, you get a really intriguing breeding piece. We feel this bull can help move the breed forward towards higher grading purebred Gelbvieh cattle while not losing sight of really important maternal traits such as heifer preg where he ranks in the top 25%, PG30 in top 20% and STAY in the top 10%.
Another purebred Dynamic son here with breed leading figures and an excellent look. Net Force M56 is a homo black, homo polled prospect out of a perfect uddered, perfect footed Playbook daughter. She comes from the ultra-producive Eye Candy line of cows who you’ll find peppered throughout our program. We don’t have many Playbook females in production yet but there’s a bunch set to calve this spring and another big group in our yearling replacement pen. I think they just might become some of our most maternal and best constructed mama cows going forward. Tie into this guy if you’re looking to improve the maternal qualities of your herd while adding some heterosis punch.
When I look at the picture of this guy, I can’t help but get excited about the Dynamic progeny and what they’ll offer their new owners. Add in this guy’s incredibly balanced EPD set with nearly every trait at or above breed average, you can make significant improvement across the board in 1 generation and as an added bonus you can inject 2 of the hottest bulls in the breed into your herd with Dynamic on the top side of this pedigree and Pay Pal on the bottom. Connect the big-time performance and maternally superior line of Missy cows, you get a bull that really covers the bases. A high percentage purebred Gelbvieh that can be used in breed-up scenarios or on an Angus based group of cow to make some extremely good F1’s, you get a versatile bull who can work in almost any operation.
LRSF FREE ENERGY M7
Very closely related to the lot 6 bull, Free Energy’s dam comes from the same flush as lot 6’s dam and is also sired by Dynamic making the 2 bulls nearly full brothers. You can see between these 2 bulls, the quality is no fluke and the cross between Dynamic and Pay Pal really clicks. M7 is the biggest framed of the Dynamic sons with tremendous length of body and top end performance traits. He’ll definitely add pounds to a set of calves while producing highly maternal, high output daughters.

Homo black and homo polled, high percent purebred Gelbvieh, breed average for calving ease, top 4% WW and top 2% YW, at least top 25% for all maternal traits, top 4% REA, top 4% MARB and top 1% FPI. He’s also been one of the top gaining bulls in the pen with a 4.45 ADG and a 1384 adjusted yearling weight, definitely a bull that can back up his strong EPDs with excellent real-world performance. Add in the phenomenal cow family he comes from and with Pay Pal as his maternal grandsire, you get that bull that checks a lot of the boxes needed for a high use sire. Don’t miss this star of the 2025 sale season.

And when you factor in his highly maternal dam, he’s a bull that can add value to every facet of the production cycle from calving ease to growth to maternal to carcass.

LRSF BURROW M32
Burrow M32 is a direct son of our all-time high selling female, Rylee K224. K224 sold last year for $26,000 to Meng Farms Cattle Co in KS and was one of the most beautifully designed cows we’ve ever raised. We managed her over the summer and were able to get her bull calf onto our sale to add a real sale feature this year. With the power and EPD superiority of All American added to the beauty and maternal balance of K224, you get a really special individual. What an awesome way to start off her career with a bull calf that looks like this with the kind of EPD balance he possesses. A really cool package no matter what you’re trying to accomplish in your breeding program.
LRSF MANNING M104
Another tremendous All American son out of the Arianna line of cows who have produced some of our best cattle over the years. Manning M104’s dam is a maternal sister to the dam of Itasca K192, our $30,000 high seller from our 2023 sale going to Prairie Hills Gelbvieh. If you’ve seen Klint’s catalog, you’ll see the first 10 bulls in the sale are sired by Itasca. Pretty potent genetics. Manning’s dam is a beautiful cow with perfect feet, a tidy udder and is one of the easiest fleshing cows on the place. A really well rounded bull here with much to offer his new owner.

Fall bulls have current weight (CW) listed as well.

Another high-octane Night Shift son coming from the superstar line of Rylee cows. As his name suggests, you might just hit the Lottery when it comes time to market his calves. He ranks beyond the top 1% of all Balancer bulls for WW and YW and when you see him in the flesh, you’ll really come to appreciate his power and style. Big topped, big muscled, big boned, deep bodied and he puts it all together in a very eye appealing package. Big time power, big time performance, big time output.

This guy came to us as a calf at the side of his highly maternal mother from our good friends in Indiana, M5 Farms. He’s always been towards the top of our group in terms of overall size and performance but when you start to analyze his EPDs, he really starts to shine. Straight across the board, he’s at or significantly above breed average for every measurable trait. Heifer safe calving ease, top 25% growth, top 5% STAY, at least top 40% for every carcass trait, all in a homo black, homo polled, Top Dollar qualified package. Really hard to poke a hole in this guy.

Marshall M77 is one of the only sons we ever got out of our W972 donor but man is he a good one. Long bodied, deep ribbed, very correct on his feet and legs and if you need a bull to produce some outstanding replacement females, give this guy a hard look. His dam remained incredibly sound footed and perfect uddered right up until she left the farm at 15 years old and her track record of producing highly functional daughters is terrific.

Super long bodied bull here out of a great bull we picked up from Rippes a couple years ago. Integrity M240 is sired by 2143K and if there’s one thing that bull can do is put pounds on calves. The same can be expected for Integrity M240. One of the youngest bulls in the pen, M240 is no slouch when it comes to growth and really pushes performance with top 10% WW and top 20% YW. His dam is a perfect footed cow we purchased from Prairie Hills Gelbvieh.
Top Dollar qualified, homo black, homo polled, big time performance and big time carcass quality. If you’re needing to add value to a set of feeder calves while keeping them black and attractive patterned, give this guy a hard look. Just like his brother, M189 is extremely long bodied and very attractive from the side with a ton of width and dimension when you get behind him. If you’re not quite ready to jump fully into a purebred Gelbvieh bull, this bull represents a great opportunity to add some hybrid vigor to a set of Angus based cows.
Larson’s Lost River Livestock Spring Gelbvieh Bulls
Where to start with these guys, just an awesome set of brothers out of one of the superior cows in the Gelbvieh breed. The 94D donor just never misses. No matter what we bred her to, no matter if she produced bulls or heifers, she flat got the job done. And when you add in the power and style of Chevelle, you get a group of brothers that blow the doors off in terms of performance, length of body and muscle shape. M117 has been an absolute beast from day 1, always drawing attention in every group he was in. He also comes in with the 4th highest adjusted weaning weight this year. M100 has really turned up the heat post weaning and is giving his brother a run for his money. Study the videos of these 3 and you’ll find out pretty quick you’ll have to drive the tires off your truck to find any red purebred Gelbvieh bulls in the country with this much depth of body, power and style. All three bulls have a ton to offer and all should sire some terrific offspring, no matter what you’re looking for.

From the same flush that produced lots 36 - 38. Apprentice M150 comes from using a second bull in the flush. He’s sired by the Mr Protégé bull from Rippes who was one of their high sellers in 2022 and when you add in the influence from 94D, you get a pretty cool pedigree that can be used in a ton of scenarios. Great growth EPDs with this guy, both ranking in the top 15% of the breed and then with top 30% MARB, the value of this bull only continues to go up.
We’ve used Gunner here for many years and he never fails to impress. Here we have a super stout, moderate framed bull who can run with the best of them when it comes to EPD strength, phenotypic quality and cow family dominance. With the Nellie line of cows behind this bull, you can about guarantee he’s going to produce fertile, eye appealing daughters. And with Gunner on the top, he has all the potential to sire powerful, densely made calves with depth of body and stoutness.

With the Lakota line of cows on the bottom side of his pedigree coupled with the maternal-plus J140 bull on top will guarantee excellent replacement females but it doesn’t stop there.

To put this sort of EPD strength together is rare for purebred Gelbvieh cattle. When you factor in this guy is red and a complete outcross to most lines of red Gelbvieh cattle, you get a bull that gets your heart pumping a little faster. Telluride M76 comes to you with all but 2 traits ranking in the top 40% of the breed, led by top 5% CED, top 10% MARB and top 3% FPI. There are no other purebred Gelbvieh bulls in the entire database that can come close to matching his combination of CED, WW, YW, STAY, MARB and FPI.

If you need calves that are going to have the show ring look with outstanding performance and phenomenal maternal value, look no further. Longevity M145 is going to sire beautiful daughters with top-notch longevity and functionality. His dam is one of our very best production cows, achieving Dam of Distinction honors each of the last 3 years while being flushed and producing some of our most eye appealing progeny. A full sister to M145 was shown by my daughter Sawyer and routinely made the top 5 in jackpot shows, showing against heifers from other breeds. M145 is so correct in his design and so powerful in his muscle shape, you’ll want to keep every daughter and his sons will be absolute tanks.
Sunshine 94D has been a prolific bull producer for us over the years but we plainly haven’t gotten many daughters out of her. However, now we are starting to get more and more of her daughters into production and as they come online, the maternal prowess of their mother is starting to shine through. Take this guy, Montrose M22 was raised by a 94D daughter and is super stout with breed leading calving ease, solid growth and top 25% MARB as a high percent, homo polled purebred. If you have a set of heifers and don’t want to sacrifice growth, maternal or carcass, take a hard look here.

His donor dam is one of our best cows, regardless of breed, when it comes to producing highly maternal, beautifully designed daughters.

A maternal sister to this bull sold back in December on the ND Red Select for $14,000 to John Novotny and another maternal sister sold on the 2022 Reds on the Prairie for $9750 to Heather Wright.

They’re both sired by Diversified, both out of full ET sisters and when it comes down to it, they have far more similarities than differences in terms of EPD structure and overall phenotype. They’d be a perfect set to turn in on a set of heifers or cows and get a uniform, high quality set of calves. Note that M23 is the number 1 bull in the sale for ADG and M62 is number 9.

To lead off our Simmental division, we start with a tried-and-true mating as a full brother to this guy sold last year as a sale feature to Rick Wehri in WY. Like his brother, Cinch M159 is an excellent bull that blends power, style and numerical strength together as well as any in the sale. Top 10% WW, 10% YW, 10% CW, 10% MARB, 15% API and 5% TI. Rock solid EPDs backed by a low input, efficient cow makes for a bull that can work in a ton of environments. Cinch M159 is also one of the top gaining bulls in the pen this year, ranking in the top 15 bulls for ADG. Homo black, homo polled, Top Dollar Qualified, great cow family and sired by one of the most popular bulls in the breed, don’t miss out.
The ultimate female maker, Wrangler M113 will be found on sale day. Super stylish while remaining powerful and correct, his dam will be 14 this spring and is coming with another AI sired calf. She’s perfect footed, great uddered and just doesn’t miss. Add the power and foot improvement of Genesis to the pedigree and you get a bull that can add a ton of maternal value to a set of females while not sacrificing growth and carcass value in a set of feeders.
ASA4437482
If you need to inject some frame and performance into your herd, get this guy on your list. Ariat M116 is the number 1 adjusted yearling weight bull in the entire offering while ratioing 109 at weaning and backing up his awesome performance with equally

With a bull like this, it’s easy to see why Essential has become so popular. Essential has become the go-to bull in the Simmental breed for single generation improvement across the board; calving ease, growth, maternal, carcass, feet, docility and overall eye appeal. Navigation M12 does all those things with one of the most balanced EPD spreads in the offering and as you can see from his picture, he’s a bull that really rings the bell in terms of style and design. He continues to improve every day and will definitely be a favorite on sale day.
LRL HYDRATION M166
Another Essential son, Hydration M166 does all of the things right. Heifer safe calving ease traits, top 10% WW, top 2% YW and nearly every other trait ranks not just above breed average, but in the top 25%. It’s really hard to find a bull that can blend this sort of EPD strength with terrific real world performance, as noted by his 750 lb adjusted weaning weight and 1400+ adjusted yearling weight. Add in the power of his cow family which is the same cow family as lot 64 and you get a bull that really rings the bell.
Wager M217 is a really eye-catching bull sired by our resident herdsire Steakholder and out of a beautifully made Angus cow. 1921 is a cow you’d like to have 100 of, super feminine, huge middled, excellent feet and legs, perfect udder and just ideally designed. Add in the incredible Sugar C4 cow on the top side of this bull’s pedigree and you get a super maternally focused bull that’ll sire outstanding replacement females as well as heavy, eye appealing feeders.

We purchased the dam to this bull last spring from Five Star Ranch as one of the high selling females for $12,500. If you’ve followed along with Jared’s program down there, you’ll have seen its one of the hottest herds of Simmental cattle in the US right now and for good reason. The cattle are sound, stout and incredibly attractive. This guy is no different with some of the best numerical values in the sale, regardless of breed. Top 10% STAY, top 20% MARB, top 10% API and top 20% TI all in a super stylish, sound package.
Our only red SimInfluenced bull this year, McCarthy M208 is a stout, powerfully made Quarterback son with heifer safe calving ease traits and backed by one of the most prolific cows in the Simmental breed, TJ 38W. The 38W cow is known for her ability to produce super attractive progeny with excellent feet and calm dispositions. This guy is exactly that in a SimAngus package that will work on heifers without sacrificing growth and eye appeal on a set of calves. Note he’s the third highest bull in the sale for average daily gain.
Hands down, one of the best bulls in the entire sale. We reached back in our embryo inventory, hoping for a heifer out of this mating but ended up with this absolute stud which wasn’t a bad consolation prize. Reverence L315 is sired by one of the all-time great Gelbvieh bulls, Leverage and out of one of the best cows to ever walk these pastures, the original Rylee U810. The reason we were hoping for a heifer is because L315’s full sister is the dam to the $22,0000 Voyageur and to lots 13-16 in this sale but with a bull like this, we have no disappointments. This is the epitome of proven performance genetics alongside elite maternal potency. This bull is the complete package.
Larson’s Lost River Livestock Fall Balancer Bulls
One of my favorite bulls, Olympus L300 really does everything right. Backed by one of our best cow families, tracing back to the 77B donor and sired by the super versatile Patriarch bull who sired a bull that sold here last year for $10,000 to Rick Wehri in WY. The Patriarch progeny are some of the most easy to market cattle in the industry because they blend calving ease, growth, maternal excellence and carcass quality with incredible eye appeal and this guy is no different. Phenomenal EPD strength and balance straight across the board, homo black, homo polled and so easy to look at, he’ll definitely be in high demand on sale day.

And when you factor in their donor dam 94D, you get a couple of bulls that’ll sire calves that’ll pound the scales down and daughters that’ll become some of your top replacements. Maternal brothers sell as lots 36-39 and 66. Study those bulls and you’ll quickly see how valuable adding 94D genetics to your bull battery can be.

This is a big-time bull. Study his picture and you’ll see why. Homage L292 has been a favorite of anyone that’s been through the bulls. As soon as you step into the fall bull pen, he sticks out like a sore thumb and just keeps getting better the more you analyze him. Clean fronted and heifer safe calving ease, stout through his center and thick when you get behind him. Extremely sound and correct in his overall build and perfect when he hits the ground. He’s likely one of the most balanced bulls we have to offer this year and whoever brings him home is going to reap the benefits.

We always try to lead off our bred heifer division with a special female right from the heart of our program and this lady fits that to a T. Airanna L178 is a direct daughter of our topflight 77B donor and sired by the exclusive, high demand Pay Pal. A full brother to L178 sold to Ken Chambers in NC and sired some outstanding high-performance offspring there. Many other 77B have made it to purebred breeders and she continues to be a focal point in our breeding program. Look for L178 to continue that legacy of outstanding production ability and as she’s a high percentage purebred with a completely outcross pedigree, the mating options for her new owner will be limitless. Arianna L178 was AI bred on May 10, 2024 to DBRG Bold Ruler 3194L and sells ultrasound confirmed safe to her AI date carrying a heifer calf. She’ll have that heifer calf at side on sale day and boy oh boy will she be special. Bold Ruler was the high selling bull of the spring 2024 sale season in the Gelbvieh breed, demanding $50,000 and with no semen on the open market, this will be one of the very few opportunities to add his exclusive genetics to your herd. Don’t miss this opportunity to add 2 high percent purebred Gelbvieh, homo black, homo polled females to your donor lineup. Retaining the right to 2 flushes with a minimum of 6 embryos per flush at the buyer’s convenience and seller’s expense.

He’s definitely going to make some waves in our program and we’re super excited to get some calves on the ground out of him.
A really attractive Pay Pal daughter, Cotton Candy L72 comes to you with a big swooping underline, plenty of power and should make an excellent mama cow. Her dam has been a rock-solid producer for us landing 2 sons on previous sales, 1 going to Joel Stenseng in 2021 and another going to Scott Albrecht in 2022.

Larson’s Lost River Livestock Breeding Legacy
The cattle in this catalog are part of the legacy started by our great-grandfather and his brother who homesteaded on this ground in 1896. They built the foundation that was continued by our grandfather Wally and then by our dad Mark. He started using artificial insemination in 1977 and then embryo transfer in 2004. Looking back, many of the cattle in our herd can trace back to those first AI sires Dad used and represent nearly 50 years of focused genetic selection coupled with the aggressive use of available technologies. Today, we AI over 300 females and implant over 150 embryos annually to provide the best possible genetics we can to help add value to our customers operations. These endeavors do take time and hard work but if our efforts can improve the bottom line for our customers, we will continue to do them for your benefit and ours.

Just like in previous years, we’re offering a group of home raised commercial heifers and a group of heifers we purchased from the Schimming Brothers in ND. These girls are extremely docile, well vaccinated and come from some of the highest performance lines of cattle we have. They’ll certainly raise some heavy calves and with the feeder calf market continuing to rise, the value of adding high genetic merit females has never been higher.
