Dear Cattlemen and Cattlewomen,
Greetings from our family to yours, and welcome to our 34th Annual Production Sale!
We all thought last year was a great year to be in the cow/calf business, and it certainly was! 2025 and the start of 2026 has proven to be one of the most prosperous and energetic times to own cows in the history of the cattle industry. The hard work and dedication that goes into managing all the ins and outs of a cattle operation is finally getting rewarded, and it feels absolutely great! The overall consensus seems to be that this profitable trend will continue for the next year or two. Baring unforeseen shortcomings caused by forces beyond our control, the cow calf guy will have the head seat at the table for the foreseeable future, so get COMFORTABLE!!!
Again, our systems approach to serving you has and will continue to grow in 2026. We will again offer 300 head of Maternal Selected high quality females to help you build your cow herd for the future. It has never been more important to be selecting top quality replacement females that will be responsible for leading your herd for the next 8 to 12 years. A heifer that is purchased in 2026 and calves in 2027 will have at least 3 of the top selling calves of this cattle cycle.
As always, we continue to press the edge with this genetic selection and our decisions will challenge the performance of any bulls and females both in the Gelbvieh Breed and as well as any breed. Our number one goal is to continually advance every aspect of our genetics so that your own operation can continue to flourish. We are very excited to showcase this year’s offering, as we feel it truly signifies our dedication to your success.
We again are offering Fall, Winter Yearling, and Spring Yearling Bulls. You will find that the quality in this offering will help you add length of side, mass, and carcass merit to your calves to maximize the pounds that you sell to the market. The heifers are of the same genetics and will stay in your herd for multiple calves. The females are genetically sound for longevity. Take a look and plan for your replacement needs by utilizing the “You Pick ‘Em, We Breed ‘Em” program. Fill your pastures with cows, not Replacement Heifers!!
Please call with any questions that you have and we would welcome the opportunity to show the cattle before the sale or on Sale Day, March 2nd!!
This offering of bulls and heifers are of the quality that are amongst the Best Top Performance Genetics in the US for 2026. To take advantage of this historic market and maximize the pounds of calves that you offer to the market, make sure that Cross Breeding is the standard at your Ranch. A crossbred calf is more demanded, higher in vigor and pounds, and will put more dollars in your wallet. The advantages of Crossbred vs Straightbred cattle are well documented.
See you at the Sale!

BIRTH WEIGHT (BW): Predicts the difference, in pounds, for birth weight.
CALVING EASE DIRECT (CED): An EPD that is expressed as a percent of unassisted births of a bull’s calves when he is used on heifers. A higher number is favorable, meaning better calving ease.
WEANING WEIGHT (WW): Predicts the difference, in pounds, for weaning weight (adjusted to age of dam and a standard 205 days of age). This is an indicator of growth from birth to weaning.
YEARLING WEIGHT (YW): Predicts the expected difference, in pounds, for yearling weight (adjusted to standard 365 days of age). This is an indicator of growth from birth to yearling.
MILK: The genetic ability of a sire’s daughters to produce milk expressed in pounds of weaning weight.
TOTAL MATERNAL (TMAT): A value that combines growth and milk information and a prediction of the weaning weight performance of calves from a sire’s daughter. This value does not have an accompanying accuracy value.
CALVING EASE MATERNAL (CEM): Represented as percent of unassisted births in a sire’s first-calving daughters. A higher number represents more favorable calving ease.
WEIGHT PER DAY OF AGE (WDA): Calculated by Current Weight Days of Age
ADJUSTED WEANING WEIGHT (ADJ. WW): Weight, in pounds, the calf would be at 205 days of age and adjusts for age of dam and sex of calf. Uses the following formula:
(Actual weaning weight actual birth weight) x 205 + Actual Birth Weight + Dam Adj. Actual Age in Days
ADJUSTED YEARLING WEIGHT (ADJ. YW): Weight, in pounds, the animal would be at 365 days of age. Uses the following formula:
(Actual Weight Actual Weaning Weight) x 160 + 205 day Adjusted Weaning Weight # of days between weights

BNC MR. HOJER M503 1
What a way to start out this 2026 Catalog! M503 has the potential of being the next great calving ease AI sire in the breed. His half brother was our High Selling bull in 2025 to Davidson Gelbvieh in Canada. Not only have these Whirlwind genetics proven to calve early and small, they have proven to grow exceptionally well. Big time Breeder Opportunity here! Homo Black and Homo Polled! This is the Calving ease Sire of the future!
BNC MR. HOJER M505 2
Introducing All American! We could not get semen in time to have these calves on our sale last year. But let me tell you, they were very well received around the country in 2025. They have great depth and substance as well as calving ease and outstanding carcass merit! This M505 would be a great candidate to use on heifers for a couple of years and then transition him into a Pasture Leading walking sire!

There is an undeniable proven fact that crossbreeding is not only the cheapest way to maximize your growth potential, but it is also the most effective! These Baller sons, crossed with an angus cow base, will produce calves that absolutely flourish! The order buyers at the sale barn will be fighting hand over fist for them!
BNC MR. HOJER N561
This Lot 7 bull calf turned out even better than I could have imagined! I have loved this young dam since she was a calf and she really blew the doors off with her second calf. N561 checks every box there is for a Top Herdsire Prospect!! HOMO both ways, big time carcass, value, and an absolute flawless set of numbers! This guy should be very popular on March 2!!!

This C584 cow has been a fantastic producer for us over the years. I have bred her to Whiskey Eclipse for several years with a ton of success. Her high selling son back in 2023 went to Diamond D Gelbvieh in North Dakota. I bred her to Big Chester this time, trying to get some added frame. Man did it work! This N575 calf will add stretch and pounds to any calf crop!
BNC MR. HOJER N582 9
that will produce a ribeye steak that you can cut with a fork and it will melt in your mouth!! It takes a pretty special animal to top 800 lbs at weaning and 1300 lbs at yearling! Look this guy up on March 2! He will be sure to impress you!

I just want to point out how hard it is to have a negative calving ease and yet still be top 10% of the breed to both WW and YW. It is almost impossible! But Lot 12 just did that. Expect low birth weight and big time growth out of this guy! And OH MY! One of the biggest Ribeyes in the entire offering! Top 1% of the breed for REA!!!

BNC MR. HOJER N5104
This will be the last year of the timeless and outstanding Great Divide genetics. We walked Great Divide for 8 Breeding Seasons! Lot 13 has all the intangibles to be a Top Herd sire in any operation in the country! You just don’t find these high percentage purebreds in a homo black/ homo polled package very often. He almost tipped the scales at over 1400 pounds at yearling! Don’t miss out on these genetics!

You all will be receiving a HEAVY dose of BNC Continental for the next few years. And Lot 17 is exactly why. These cattle possess an extreme amount of frame, depth, and substance. Top 5% growth in both categories. This N5127 bull is one you have to keep females out of that will change the trajectory of a cow herd. Keep every daughter!!!

BNC MR. HOJER N5140
C5225 is one of largest framed Freightliner females left on the ranch. If there is one thing I've learned about Baller over the years, he is one of the widest topped purebred bulls I have ever seen, but he can get a little short. Lot 18 is exactly what I has hoping for in this pairing. The perfect blend of frame size and power. If only every breeding decision worked out this well!

Wow, here is a one time and one time only outcross opportunity to take advantage of! This calf is just flat cool for a purebred package. His sire is owned my RC Pettit Cattle Company. This calf is perfectly square made and have a massive amount of eye appeal and substance. He would work on heifers as well. Even the people we hire to clip our bulls could not believe he was a purebred! Take advantage on the 2nd!!
BNC MR. HOJER N5183 22
Every year in these comment sections, I call out a few potential “Sleeper Picks”. Well folks, right here is one of them. He’s not a sleeper because of anything else but his age. He’s a younger bull that is backed by a stacked pedigree on both sides. One of the best EPD profiles you will find out there. One of the highest gains on test. This Lot 22 bull could easily be a breed leading AI sire across the country!
BNC MR. HOJER N5191 23
BNC MR. HOJER N5198
When we snuck home this 33J bull from a sale in Iowa, I felt really good about it. I felt even better after I started to see the quality of genetics he was producing! This Lot 24, just like all of the other sons, provide a great outcross option for those of you wanting to keep them all black and at the same time improve on your carcass traits!
25
BNC MR. HOJER N5201
There really won’t be many more opportunities in the future to take advantage of Astro genetics. Astro has changed the direction of our program for the last 20 years and the effects will continue to last for decades! This Lot 25 calf could be used on heifers and then transition into a walking sire that will have a lasting effect on your herd for years to come!!
BNC MR. HOJER N5202 26
Talk about a bull that has Hojer Ranch royalty backing up. His H103 dam is the mother of 2024 high selling bull Ascendance, who is becoming one of the most popular purebred AI sires in the Breed! She also produced the high selling female in 2025. This Lot 26 bull has limitless potential!! Top 1% or 2% of the breed for Growth, Milk, TM, MPI, FPI, and TPI!!! According to Dr. Weaber with the AGA, this is nearly impossible for an animal to achieve!

and moves extremely well. If you are in an area that requires your bulls to put some miles on every day, this guy would get the job done for you!

Never underestimate the profitability that occurs post weaning. A great cow is vitally important to get that calf from birth to weaning. Great genetics makes you all that extra money with just a little bit of feed. This lot 29 posted one of the sales highest post weaning gains. Expect his progeny to do the same for you. Take him home on March 2!!

BLACK PUREBRED BULLS
I vividly remember sorting through calves shortly after we weaned. There was this young calf that kept catching my eye. He had a flashy appeal and a look of dominance that you usually don’t get from a young calf. N5252 has continued to impress and set higher bars. Top 1% of the breed for growth and has the maternal qualifications to back it up! Should be a crowd favorite in the pens on March 2!
32
BNC MR. HOJER N5254
I am certainly not a math major. I was honestly horrible at Algebra. But the one formula that I have figured out to be 100% true, is that more frame = more money in your
Over the years, we have started to have fewer and fewer April born bull calves in the offering. Well folks, Lot 34 is our only one this year. So that alone should prove to you that I think he is pretty special. A full sibling last year sold to Ken Chambers in North Carolina and Ken absolutely loves her physical make up. If you don’t turn out until mid summer, this guy would be a great insurance policy!!
GENOMIC ENHANCED EPD’s
The American Gelbvieh Association first incorporated genomic information into the summer 2013 genetic evaluation. Dr. Dorian Garrick of Iowa State University reported that a Gelbvieh/Balancer® specific panel of DNA markers can be used to develop genomicenhanced EPDs (GE EPDs). The combination of database information and genomic data resulted in EPDs that roll the accuracy of a DNA test and the information of individual, pedigree, and progeny performance into one, easy to use number.
This N5264 calf is the very reason

BNC MR. HOJER M506
What a way to lead off the red purebred section! There is a definite void in this country when it comes to Red Purebred AI sires. Lot 35 NEEDS to be one to help fill that void!! He is a complete outcross to all red pedigrees and has an absolute ELITE EPD profile. M506 is packed full of power and performance that would be applicable in all regions across the country. It is really going to be fun to watch what Lot 35 does in his future!!
BNC MR. HOJER N537 36
HOJER N572
I cannot rave about these Big Chester cattle enough! Big Chester was our second high seller back in 2023 purchase by Grandpa Duane Hojer. Guess what folks, Grandpa Duane knew his cattle! These progeny have the added length and frame that will pack that added punch to an Angus or Red Angus cow base. Don’t leave any pounds on the table during this cattle cycle!! Doing so will be letting free money just fly away!
BNC MR. HOJER N569
Calving ease bull are not only in
but a
supply! Don’t let this Lot 37 bull escape your grasp if you are looking for a sleep all night red heifer bull! His dam has proven herself to be consistent producer for us for the past 9 years. Proven consistency should only give you more confidence when making this investment!
Top 10% of the breed in both CED and BW!!! These Big Andy females are just tremendous! Semen availability was very limited on Big Andy, so we made sure to retain as many females as we could. And this Lot 38 bull is the very reason. Yes it’s true, historically we have hung our hat on being performance orientated. But there is a definite need for calving ease

TOP HERDSIRE PROSPECT!!! This right here is the type of purebred Gelbvieh bull I would like to replicate every single time! Lot 41 has great frame (probably a 6.36.5), great depth, and that long and clean neck extension. He absolutely busted the doors off the scale hitting 926 at weaning and dang near 1400 at yearling. I can’t say it loud enough, this is what I want to turn the Gelbvieh breed into!! Everyone stop and check him out!

BNC MR. HOJER N5119
Does everyone remember at last year’s sale when it was revealed that Jaden had his work cut out for him on the basketball court? Well, the arrangement was if his coach bought this guy’s full brother last year, Jaden had to get 10 rebounds per game. Jaden’s coach bought him and yes Jaden held up his end of the bargain also. Love this Trade Secret calf. Go put the sales pitch on your coach again, Jaden!!

BNC MR. HOJER N5195
We purchased this female from Hojer Cattle Company about 4 years ago and she has done exactly what we expected of her. She stamps her offspring with substance and eye appeal. This calf has always been impressive but has come on very strong down the home stretch posting a whopping 3.86 ADG post weaning. This is a very unique red purebred calf that should not fall under the radar!!
47
BNC MR. HOJER N523
Yes, in case you didn't notice, Lot 47 and Lot 48 are twin brothers. I always like to point out the cow when we have siblings this good that both make the cut. This cow literally weaned off 1,567 pounds of calf. So just out of curiosity, I weighed the cow when she came home for winter. Any guesses? She weighed 1475 in December. How many times can you say a cow weaned off 106% of her body weight? UNPRECIDENTED!!!

If that smile doesn’t make you want to bid a couple times then I just don’t know what will. How about just the fact that this bull is phenomenal!!! These Civil War bulls have carried the weight in our balancer division the last few years. Lot 48 might be the best one yet!

If you have read through all of my comments, you have noticed a trend that I am a very strong proponent of frame size. Other then heterosis, I truly believe increasing frame size is the fastest way to add pounds and profitability. This Lot 49 bull has about as much frame as we have to offer. This guy is a great option if you are desperately needing to add size and stretch to your next calf crop!!
So happy we made the decision to bring back these Dikta genetics! This Lot 50 is the epitome of what we grew to expect from Ditka. Mass, growth, and substance is what you get every time. N546 is a cow man’s bull in every sense of the phrase. Big time bull right here!!! Just check out the picture to the left and find him on March 2!! HOMO BLACK • HOMO POLLED • BA 47%

Young sleeper pick right here!!! This Lot 77 calf has the potential to keep developing into a stud of a herd bull. He is super structurally sound and has just an outstanding phenotype. I’ll be honest, nobody would believe he is a three quarter percent Gelbvieh, but he is. His slick front end combined with his squarely made body type makes him very unique. Do not fall asleep on N5224 bull! I truly

I feel like we found a diamond in the rough with the purchase of this 232K bull from Goldux Gelbvieh. This bull undoubtably represents the core of what we are at Hojer Ranch. Size, Pounds, Performance, and Power!! It is great to see his first offspring hold true to those standards. This Lot 79 is just the tip of the iceberg on what to expect moving forward!!!

These All American sons worked just as well in the Fall calving herd as the Spring calving group. Here is a guy that is moderate framed and possesses a great amount of calving ease. He will not only treat your heifers right but he will make them all Black!!! Don’t sleep on these aged bulls, they will cover more cows their first year out the gate!
82
BNC MR. HOJER M4295
Lot 82 is arguably my favorite All American son to date! He had that crazy extended front end that I find very attractive and desirable. His length of body is unprecedented. This 99.9% purebred has so much potential in his young future. He is backed by one of the great cows in our Ranch’s history with the B515 female. This guy really does have it all. Growth, Maternal, and Carcass!! He should be high on everyone’s list March 2!!

CE to go along with Top 15% growth!!! Just WOW!!!! This Lot 85 bull is a large framed critter with a mile of stretch to back up his whopping 1550 January weight. This guy could easily cover 25 plus females his first year. Now that is maximizing on your investment!!!

This Lot 88 calf has a very user friendly set of numbers. Above average across the board for almost all of his traits. What that tells me is that you can expect small to moderate sized calves at birth, but they will most certainly have above average growth potential. He would work great in a crossbreeding setting to help maximize that heterosis!!

I remember one of the first bulls C5342 raised ended up being our high selling bull sold to Greg Vanbeek in North Dakota. Up in that country, he had to cover so much rough terrain up and down the river breaks. This Lot 92 bull reminds me a lot of his older brother. Somewhat moderate but extremely thick and moves very free. Great purebred option right here, backed by a proven cow!!
BNC MR. HOJER M4330 93
It just does not get more gratifying than seeing a 13 year old cow still producing at a high level! A368 has been a patriarch in our balancer program for over a decade. One of the few females we have from the M & E Brilliance we purchased way back in the day. This guy would work great on heifers or cows. Very user friendly!! The Grandsire SAV Brilliance was a widely popular AI sire for heifers back in the 2000’s.
BNC MR. HOJER M4325 90
Lot 93 is officially our highest performing Fall aged bull. His F842 always raising a dandy!! This guy topped the scales in January at 1605 pounds!! Absolutely incredible!! The amount of dollars this type of purebred bulls will make you! You’ll need bigger pockets to fit all that extra money! Shane Struckman of Hazel, SD has really recognized the benefit of using these high performing aged bulls! This is definitely his type of bull!!

If you haven't taken advantage of Unrivaled genetics yet, here is your final warning!! Next year will likely be the last time we have any progeny to offer as he has aged out of his time here at Hojer Ranch. But I will say with confidence, his impact will have a lasting effect on our herd. He has added a dimension of frame, milking ability, and appearance that will last for decades.

GROUP 1 - One of the broodiest purebred females we have offered! A ton of depth and middle! These All American females put it all on the table. They check every box from calving ease to carcass. I love the Chief Justice on the dam side. “Chief” has greatly influenced our herd over the years. Lot 100 is most definitely a breed changing female!!

BNC MISS HOJER N5115
GROUP 1 - 99.9% Gelbvieh females are getting to be a rare commodity. For all the balancer crazies out there, why do you think some of the original balancers were so good? It’s because the originals were the true F1 cross. There were diluted down like a lot of the balancers today are. Take this Lot 101 home and create a fresh F1 Balancer cross that will far exceed some of the options out there today!

GROUP 2 - Finnegan genetics have proven their worth in gold over the years. They inject some great calving ease without sacrificing growth. Some of our best younger red cows are Finnegan daughters. If you haven't given them a shot yet, here is your opportunity and I would strongly recommend this Lot 105!

GROUP 4 - Big Chester was born and raised here at Hojer Ranch. We loved him for his frame and length and also for the maternal qualities represented with Whiskey Eclipse on the dam side. We couldn't be more blown away by what we have seen out of this first calf crop. Exceptional growth and the females in particular have a very feminine look to them.

GROUP 7 - Super happy that we decided to give these Whirlwind genetics a try. They have provided a phenotype and extreme calving ease that we were looking for. The thing I love about these Whirlwind daughters, besides their great EPD profiles, is how attractive they are, particularly from their front shoulders forward. Lot 109 had great breeding versatility!!

We actually have our first calves on the ground out of BNC Gentleman L406 and they are fantastic! This Lot 113 has the pedigree with a proven track record. I love these high percentage females.

GROUP 13 - The first thing I thought of when I looked at the pedigree on the Lot 121 heifer was MILK! Class Action and Unrivaled are two very maternally focused sires. Sure enough this girl is top 15% of the breed and she even comes with great carcass merit! Top 10% for Marbling and top 1% for both FPI and TPI!!! Talk about a female that is destined to produce some prime grid toppers!!

GROUP 8 - Beautiful young female right here!! Let our misfortune be your shining opportunity! What I mean by that is this Lot 127 female is just too young to fit into our breeding program. Its very unfortunate because I would love to see her as a mature cow walking the Hojer Ranch pastures with a 800 pound bull calf at her side. But because of her age, that bull calf will get to be roaming your pasture instead!!
GROUP 8 - Top notch Whiskey Eclipse females just keep knocking it out of the park like its Mark McGwire in a home run derby!
