WELCOME
Welcome to the inaugural WD Cattle Company LiveOnline™ Bull Sale! It is a great pleasure to represent the Durst family as they transition from selling bulls privately for many years to a live auction format hosted by CCI.live on April 9, 2025 in Washington, Kansas! Wyatt Durst is no stranger to the business, having bred, raised, and marketed Red Angus seedstock for the greater part of his life. He has a keen eye for quality with some of the most stringent and strict culling practices in the industry. Wyatt understands how cattle should be built and has a zero tolerance policy for cattle that are not designed with the utmost skeletal integrity.
Over the past decade Wyatt has slowly and methodically built one of the most impressive cowherds in the breed. A strong commercial background and production oriented mindset has allowed this cowherd to flourish when it comes to embracing the fundamentals such as foot quality, squareness of build, udder design, fleshing ability, and fertility. Through key genetic acquisitions, precise matings, and a disciplined approach to producing, raising, and marketing Red Angus seedstock, it’s no surprise that this offering offers a level of quality of this magnitude!
In addition to the bull offering, Wyatt and Tayler are hesitantly offering genetics straight from the heart of their families budding Red Angus program. These genetics represent the very best cow families that call home to Washington, Kansas! Full sib embryos to WD Robust 406 ET, the featured lot 2 bull will sell, alongside full sib sexed female embryos to the $49,500 high selling heifer calf that sold to the Fischer family of Texas last October!
Do not hesitate to reach out to Wyatt or Tayler with any questions about the sale offering that you may have. The bulls will be available for viewing any time prior to the sale by appointment at the ranch. We encourage you to make the trip to North Central Kansas to view this impressive set of herd sire prospects in the flesh, we promise you will not be disappointed! The sale will take place at 6:00 PM CST on April 9, 2025 on CCI.live in a LiveOnline™ format with real time bidding. Please reach out with any questions about the sale offering or the bidding and buying process prior to the sale. We look forward to visiting with you about the cutting-edge genetics that stand behind this offering!
Enjoy the cattle and God bless,
