Welcome Friends and Cattlemen
Welcome to our 2025 Annual Production Sale! It is truly a pleasure to write this letter as we sit in one of the greatest times ever recorded in the cattle business! This has been a long time coming and it is because of people like you all who have stayed the course with your perseverance and determination that we are now able to enjoy these incredible markets. Looking ahead we feel that fundamentally these rewarding markets will be here to stay for the next couple of years; and can’t wait to continue watching our friends and customers reap those premiums we are seeing in the feeder calf market. With what started out as one of the wettest May and June’s on record for us it quickly turned into a long period of time before we saw any rainfall. Whether you are still in those drought stricken areas or you endured the horrendous effects of the hurricanes on the east coast, our thoughts and prayers go out to you all.
This year we will bring to you not only our largest offering to date, but what we feel is hands down the best set of bulls we have raised from top to bottom. This offering will also include our commitment to feedback from our customers by continuing to grow our fall program to be able to offer you the largest set of age advantage bulls we ever have. Although repetitive to hear us say every year that this is the best set of bulls; it is our belief that through our extensive embryo program, and laser focused breeding program that we should be seeing a drastic improvement year after year. We will offer more than 40 sets of flush mates this year, therefore allowing you to select for more consistency in your herd. Every bull in this offering has been DNA tested using AngusGS. All bulls are guaranteed for the first breeding season, if you have a problem, please get ahold of us. Satisfied customers are the foundation of our success.
The goals of our program have never changed. Our idea in mind is for these cattle to thrive in any environment you ask them to work in. These bulls have been bred and developed for you, the commercial cattleman, in mind. We expect these cattle to calve easy, come in heavy at weaning time, perform in the feeding sector, hang a big carcass that grades with the best of them, and yet still produce a desirable set of females that you can be proud of. Although this may come with challenges, based on our harsh culling practices, we feel that those goals are improving each and every year. Because of our customer base, we get to work every day towards our goals, giving us the opportunity to do what we love. Our family and team are extremely thankful and blessed to have your interest in our program. We value your input and we have you and your operation in mind when we make decisions at Poss Angus.
Our team at Poss Angus has worked diligently to bring our best offering to this sale. We are very thankful for the relationships we have gained through the friends and customers that have trusted us along the way in this business. Please feel free to call any of us as we would love to visit with you about your operation and how Poss Angus bulls can be a source of power, growth, carcass and maternal genetics for your cow herd. We look forward to seeing you Friday, February 7th at the ranch. Lunch will begin at noon and be sure to stick around for our prime rib dinner and refreshments following the conclusion of the sale.

Maternal Plus
Are you buying bulls from a maternal and data driven herd?
Many breeders in today’s world like to say they are top breeders of maternal genetics without the commitment to measuring it. It would be the same as breeding for performance without collecting weaning and yearling weights. We believe maternal function is defined by a combination of measurable and immeasurable traits.
At Poss Angus, we are committed to producing bulls that will sire practical and problem-free females. Over the past six years, through the enrollment of MaternalPlus, we have been able to provide a data driven cowherd, while adding cowboy common sense into this multi-faceted approach. With this new approach, we are better able to identify cows that are worthy of propagation or elimination. With this combination we are now offering a more predictable product for our customers.
With both approaches in progressing maternally relevant traits, we are relying heavily on both sides to not only make breeding decisions, but to make even more informed culling decisions. With a zero-tolerance for any cows that fail to meet our criteria of any of the maternal traits we measure, we are quickly bringing up the bottom end of a cowherd.
We have earned the MaternalPlus designation by meeting the national inventory reporting requirements, and providing not only ourselves but you the customer with the information needed to make effective selection decisions. This voluntary designation is designed to capture additional reproductive trait data and expand reproductive and survivability tools.
What data are we collecting and submitting to build the maternal EPDs at the American Angus Association?
Udder Suspension and Teat Size. Udder suspension and teat size are critical for newborn calves to receive colostrum in a timely manner. The first day of a newborn calf’s life is essential to its future health and performance. Udder quality plays a large part in that calf getting its needed nutritional requirements. Every cow is scored annually for both traits.
Claw and Angle. Foot quality is vital to the longevity and long-term productivity of a beef animal. Every cow is scored annually for both traits, and taken into effect.
Heifer Pregnancy and Cow Fertility. Cattle reproduction is the largest economic driver of turning a profit in the cow-calf business. We are continually applying more selection pressure on our cowherd by mostly retaining females that are a product of conception in the first two cycles of the breeding season. All breeding data and ultrasound results are submitted annually.
Docility. Like any other trait, we believe there is an optimum range for the docility level of cattle to make superior maternal females. Identifying and culling animals on both sides of the extreme and keeping the ones that fall in the middle is our goal. Cows that are mean and flighty are unacceptable for safety. Cows that fall short in mothering ability and require extra attention are not desirable either. All cattle are scored for docility as yearlings on the ranch.
What are the immeasurable traits of maternal function that we use cowboy common sense to track?
Mothering Ability. Not only do we not have the time or the want to do a cow’s job for her when she calves, but we understand that it is unacceptable for our customer’s as well. We have a zerotolerance for cows that choose not to get their calves up and going immediately after they calve. Cows that mull or walk away from them are no longer accepted within our cowherd.
Calf Vigor. We have come to the understanding that it is an almost perfect science, when calves need attention at birth because of lack of vigor, it is most likely to reoccur at some point in their life again. Calves that never receive their full amount of colostrum in a timely manner will most likely never reach their genetic potential. We have made an effort to identify calves that have lacked vigor at birth from different sire and cow lines in hopes of creating bulls that will sire calves with excellent vigor at birth.
Fleshing Ability. Multiplying genetics that can easily hold their flesh throughout all phases of the year is a focal point of our cowherd. Like most of our commercial customer base, we expect our cowherd to forage and be self-sufficient without supplementation well into the winter months. With the fence-line weaning method used on our heifers they are kept on grass until early fall when they are then turned onto corn stalks until the early part of March. We use this period as a selection pressure to assist in identifying which females cannot thrive in tough conditions.
Physical Analysis. Phenotype can be a valuable tool. At calving time, every female is evaluated. If a female is undesirable in any category, she is instantaneously removed from her group and culled. With this ability every female is identified on a single basis to make sure we are only replicating our best females. When selecting females for the replacement pen, wedge-shaped, deep ribbed females with a feminine design are an absolute must.
Explanation of Data
BIRTH TRAITS
CED EPD Higher number equals more calving ease.
BW EPD Reflects size of calf at birth; smaller number equals more weight.
Actual BW Ratioed and incorporated into the EPD.
Calving Ease Stars We scale our bulls on a 1-4 scale based on the data we have and our knowledge of the pedigree to give you the best idea of what the bulls are most suited for, for breeding.
Calving Ease Stars
Our bulls have been sorted into four groups of calving ease stars.
HHHH HHH HH Heifer bull with excellent calving ease Heifers and cows
Best suited for young and mature cows Best suited for mature cows
MATERNAL TRAITS
Dam’s Nursing Ratio Average weaning ratio of offspring produced by the dam in her time. We feel that this is an excellent opportunity to give more detail at what the cows behind the bulls are accomplishing.
Dam’s Calving Interval Defined as the number of days between a cow’s successive calves. Another tool we have decided to add that shows the fertility to the dam’s behind the bulls. Cows who breed up AI year after year are the most profitable and usually in the ballpark of 365 days.
Note: ET donor’s will be exempt due to conventional flushing, requiring them to remain open to do so.
HP EPD a selection tool to increase probability of a sire’s daughters becoming pregnant as first-calf heifers during a normal breeding season.
MANAGEMENT TRAITS
Claw Set EPD (Claw), is expressed in units of claw-set score, with a lower EPD being more favorable indicating a sire will produce progeny with more ideal claw set. The ideal claw set is toes that are symmetrical, even and appropriately spaced. Foot Angle EPD (Angle) , is expressed in units of foot-angle score, with a lower EPD being more favorable indicating a sire will produce progeny with more ideal foot angle. The ideal is a 45-degree angle at the pastern joint with appropriate toe length and heel depth.
PERFORMANCE TRAITS
Performance traits are expressed in pounds. Weaning and yearling weight EPD’s are predictors of the ability for those pounds to be transmitted to offspring. This year you will notice we have only included the ratio’s for weaning and yearling. We feel that this is a better indicator of the individual performance compared to the rest of the herd. With rising input costs, this is a great tool to determine actual performance with management integrated. Embryo calves that are a product of IVF technology and/or were raised on a commercial recipient automatically ratio 100.
If interested in seeing actual weaning and yearling weights, get ahold of us and we would be more than happy to send them to you.
WW Ratio Weight adjusted to 205 days, ratioed in contemporary group and incorporated into EPD.
YW Ratio Weight adjusted to 365 days, ratioed in contemporary group and incorporated into EPD. Yearling bulls yearling weight ratio will be included in supplement sheet prior to sale.
CARCASS TRAITS & VALUE INDEXES
CW EPD expressed in pounds is a predictor of the differences in hot carcass weight of a sire’s progeny compared to progeny of other sires.
MARB EPD expressed as a fraction of the difference in USDA marbling score of a sire’s progeny compared to progeny of other sires.
RE EPD expressed in square inches, is a predictor of the difference in ribeye area of a sire’s progeny compared to progeny of other sires.
Maternal Weaned Calf Value ($M) expressed in dollars per head, predicts profitability differences in progeny due to genetics from conception to weaning. Increaded selection pressure on $M aims to decrease overall mature cow size and improve foot structure and fertility while maintaining weaning weights consistent with today’s production.
Feedlot Value ($F) is the expected average difference in future progeny performance for post-weaning merit compared to progeny of other sires.
Beef Value ($B) is the expected average difference in future progeny performance for post-weaning and carcass value compared of other sires.
Combined Value ($C) an index expressed in dollars per head, includes all traits that make up both $M and $B with the objective that commercial producers will replace 20% of their breeding females per year with replacement heifers retained within their own herd. The remaining cull heifer and steer progeny are then assumed to be sent to the feedlot where the producers retain ownership of those cattle and sell them on a quality-based carcass merit grid.
Sale Bulls
Winchester was the high selling bull of the 2022 sale to ST Genetics, and has since gone on to be one of the high selling semen bulls in their elite lineup; and was ranked #23 for registrations this last year. The Winchester progeny are full of mass and substance that are big barreled and long sided. Winchester boasts an impressive combination of high indexes and top notch phenotype. He has a strong backing, maternally influenced pedigree, and will sire herd impacting females. The flush sisters to Winchester are some of the very best females in our herd with most of them finding a spot in our donor pen. Flush sisters include 1513, the $80,000 feature at Kern Cattle, 1501, the $100,000 feature at Linz Heritage Angus and Antczak Angus, and J002, $90,000 feature at Point Pleasant. We are anxiously anticipating our first wet daughters by sale time, as they were one of the best sire groups for breed up this spring.

We could not be more excited to start off the 2025 sale offering with none other than one of the most exciting flushes produced on our ranch. This dynamic duo of flush brothers push the needle even further into the progress of ultimately trying to create the ideal animal with performance, carcass and the number one factor of commercial profitability, maternal cow power. Look for this flush to set a new precedent in creating predictable genetics that will elevate the commercial producer in creating cattle that reap the benefits in every sector of the business.
Their dam is a herd favorite with unmatched femininity, capacity and foot quality. She has become a pivotal part of our donor pen and has now created the leadoff flush in our production sale for two years in a row. A maternal sister to some of the greatest animals to ever leave our program such as Maverick (Herbster), and Relevance 1915 (Sitz and Hamilton). Her mother was a foundation donor for us and is now a centerpiece at Point Pleasant and Lancaster. The genetics of 5163 carry as much weight in this offering as any. Poss Pride 0604 is in ownership with GMC Farms, WV; look for her son by Pendleton who is also a feature in this offering as well.
The Winchester x Pride mating strikes again, this time crossing with the $11,000 highlight of the 2024 Female sale to A&B Cattle, Poss Pride 0623. The phenotypic and genetic dominance of Lot 3 represents the thrilling possibilities of what his young sire has the capability to bring to the cattle industry. His dam is as good as they come and the model type of female we strive to produce. She was a major player in our ET program and will continue to do the same for her new owners. Her ability to transmit maternal power with an elite genetic profile is unmatched. As an own daughter of 5163 the great 5163 we feel that her best days are just getting started.
Big flashy figures on this Winchester son out of the phenotype favorite of the 2024 female sale that sold for $28,000 to Katie Colin Farms, GA. Much like his paternal brothers offered in this event, Lot 5 is a curve bending specialist that will sire calves light at birth and mash down the scales at weaning and yearling. One of the visitor favorites on summer tours for his commanding presence and incredible performance. His Pathfinder dam was our very best Playbook daughter and was a crowd favorite on the recent female sale. Her entrance into the donor pen was earned the old-school way and her level of injecting proven performance with robust, soft rib shape and ultra-feminine is the type of cows we look to replicate over and over. Her flush by Deadwood and Armstrong are highlighted in this offering and continue to meet the expectations she has created.

Lot 14 is a calving ease Winchester with big time carcass figures and backed by one of the most proven cow families in our herd. A moderate framed individual that will create a fancy set of daughters. The granddam is responsible for producing several sale highlights in prior sales. A maternal brother was one of the high selling fall bull’s in last year’s event going to Stracke Land and Cattle.
These three flush brothers represent one of the most genetically superior flushes we have ever produced. Their conformation, soundness and cow power are tailor made for the commercial ranchers looking to stay progressive. The flush is led by Lot 15 who is one of the most visually impressive bulls for his masculinity, breed character and overall power and performance. Look for these brothers to leave a very impressive set of females behind and create a pen of steers that will grade with the absolute best in the business.
To those familiar with our program, this flush combines two of the most prominent cows to ever walk our pastures. The dam is one of the hottest cows in the breed at this time and is none other than the $200,000 valued GAR Sunrise 2016. Her debut offering in the 2023 sale stole the show when 11 flush brothers by Clarity averaged over $20,000. Her ability to transmit and excel in every category makes her a valuable part of the Angus breed. She has produced numerous herd bulls in a short amount of time. At 9 years of age she is still as valuable as ever. Her progeny by Remington, Pendleton, Deadwood, and Armstrong are highlighted in this event.

He has been on the radar of the Angus breed since summer tours, and will be a major factor of future breeding decisions at Poss Angus.

We look for this flush to create a new level of excitement within our herd through not only these two brothers but their sisters as well. Maternal brothers by Deadwood are featured in this same offering and will be incredible sale highlights as well.

year’s offering. After you study his commanding presence, foot quality, muscle shape and eye appeal; you’ll be even more impressed with his EPD profile on paper. Big time calving ease with unlimited growth potential, and even more impressive carcass figures and $Values. The deceased dam was one of the most impressive females on the ranch for her incredible mass and dimension, yet maintaining her look and femininity. Her flush by Barricade was one of the most sought after sets of brother’s in last years sale, which was lead by the $30,000 Poss Palisade to Grimmius Cattle and was one of the most heavily used bulls in breeding decisions last spring.
Power in the blood mating of Remington on the legendary 2016. Elite genetic predictions on these flush brothers with slam dunk sleep all night calving ease. Both individuals will moderate frame size and increase carcass merit. To those familiar with our program, this flush combines two of the most prominent cows to ever walk our pastures.
The dam is one of the hottest cows in the breed at this time and is none other than the $200,000 valued GAR Sunrise 2016. Her debut offering in the 2023 sale stole the show when 11 flush brothers by Clarity averaged over $20,000. Her ability to transmit and excel in every category makes her a valuable part of the Angus breed. She has sired numerous herd bulls in a short amount of time. At 9 years of age she is still as valuable as ever. Her progeny by Winchester, Pendleton, Deadwood, and Armstrong are highlighted in this event.

Pendleton
Pendleton was the high seller of our 2023 sale to Dixie Valley and Edgar Brothers. He has been utilized as an excellent heifer bull, siring calves that are not too light at birth without any calving difficulties. An elite bull for his combination of HP, Marb, RE and $M. Expect the calves to have an excellent growth curve and go right down the middle of the road for frame size. His deceased dam was a flush sister to Wrangler at Alta, and was a model Angus cow for her wedge shape, perfect udder and robust rib shape. We anticipate the daughters of Pendleton to exemplify these traits. Amongst one of our favorite heifers in the replacement pen is a Pendleton daughter.

What a way to start off the first offering of sons by the $260,000 Poss Pendleton! Headlined by Lot 38, he exemplifies the standard of cattle we strive to produce each and every day. He is a legitimate AI stud prospect, and his bullet proof phenotype backed by an ultra-balanced EPD profile make him one of the elite prospects of this sale season. A visitor favorite throughout the summer, combining two of the most prominent cow families on the ranch. His dam is an own daughter of the great 5163 and is a maternal sister to Maverick. This no miss cow has produced the leadoff flush for two years in a row, and we feel that she is just getting started.
A landmark set of flush brothers with undeniable type and kind that commercial cattlemen from around the country will gravitate towards. Consistency is key when looking to market front end genetics, and this flush fulfills that mission. The blending of Pendleton with one of our favorite Clarity x 2016 daughters presents this top-notch flush that will be herd builders for anyone.

One of the most anticipated mating’s of the entire spring calf crop is offered in Lot 44. Combining the exciting new Pendleton, with the proven matriarch 2016 ultimately offers a pedigree that is second to none in the modern era of the Angus breed. Big time calving ease with performance to boot, and carcass and maternal genetics that are as good as any in the business. One of the most balanced EPD profiles that you will find anywhere in the land. Maternal brothers by Deadwood, Winchester, Remington and Armstrong are highlighted in this event.
A grand opportunity to access the master mating of two of the most influential females in our herd, combining the great Blueblood 6502 with the performance matriarch Elmaretta 648. These brothers offer a proven pedigree bursting with maternal value and productive potential. These stout rumped bulls have muscle definition like no other and bring a calving ease profile to the table. The cow family strength in the pedigree will be difficult to replicate anywhere else.
Their world-renowned dam has done everything right in her life and has left us genetic potential we never deemed possible. A cow that continued to set new levels of success year after year for us. Her genetic influence is as heavy in our herd as anything, and for good reason. We feel that the maternal potency set forth by 6502 will take any cowherd to new levels. With several daughters retained in our herd we feel that her legacy will continue on for many years.
POSS PENDLETON 4050
Lot 47 is one of the stoutest made individuals in this entire offering. He blends phenotype, performance, maternal and cow family strength with a pristine pedigree that reads Pendleton x Blackout x Easy Impact x All Around x Right Time 338 x Alliance 6595; fully equipped with some of the best blood in the business. He will be a sale day favorite. His dam is a featured young female out of the famous Blueblood cow family. She is a maternal sister to some of the top bulls in the breed and an own daughter of the great 6502. One of the most dominating females in our herd for expansive rib shape coupled with her characterizing femininity. She is expected to achieve Pathfinder status this year. Four maternal brothers were major sale attractions in last year’s sale averaging just shy of $12,000 and going to some of the very best commercial cowherds in all of the sandhills.
POSS PENDLETON 4114
Poss Pendleton
Here is a pair of calving ease flush brothers that are expected to propel fertility and production merit. They are led by Lot 50 that is as uniquely bred with a data profile second to none. One of the true elite bulls on paper and carries that weight in person. These brothers are functional and driven on cow power. It is often unheard of to come across authentic power bulls with calving ease credentials that maintain elite maternal projections like this headlining set of flush brothers.
The dam is an up and coming headliner in the fall herd with a bullet proof pedigree. The influence of her cow family is second to none and responsible for several high sellers such as Ratified, Ultra and Palisade. She will be a noteworthy female for years to come.
Ratified
20055483
Ratified was the $90,000 selection of the 2022 sale by Katie Colin Farms, GA and Wilson Brothers, NE. Ratified has gone on to see incredible use throughout the Angus breed in some of the top Angus herds via AI and ET. Ratified froze over 300 units of semen on his very first jump at 12 months of age. His first calf crop exemplifies the same characteristics of moderate stature, high performing with marbled muscle, and a highly maternal pedigree. We look for the Ratified daughters to hold an elite status in our cowherd for years to come, with the first daughters entering production this winter. The dam has now entered production for Katie Colin Farms, and continues to gain value for her owners each and every day.
A dynamic set of flush brothers with undeniable power and the type and kind that commercial cattlemen from around the country will gravitate towards. The blending of Ratified with one of our favorite maternal sisters to Maverick presents this topnotch flush that will be herd builders for anyone. These bulls have the ability to bring predictable genetics that flourish in the performance world. Backed by a strong foundation of maternal genetics, they will redesign a cowherd with consistency, fertility and productivity.
Their awesome, massive bodied, perfect footed dam is an outlier in terms of creating muscle shape, and overall Angus character. She has consistently created progeny that match those terms, and continues to place daughters in our replacement pen each and every year. As a maternal sister to Maverick these bulls will have a bright future in place much like Maverick has. Maternal brothers by Clarity were sale highlights in last year’s sale going to the Storer’s, Graff’s, Cosgrove’s and Bud Harvey.
A landmark flush of five brothers that could very well be one of the most impressive sets of brothers with calving ease credentials ever born on the ranch. They are headlined by Poss Ratified 4557, who is one of the most eye appealing bulls you will find anywhere in the land with his genetic predictions and overall phenotype. He is in a league of his own when considering calving ease, feed intake, maternal traits, performance and carcass merit. A late February bull that holds his own in a pen full of January born bulls. He will have legitimate AI stud potential. Rarely do we find a flush this deep with the extreme calving ease yet still carry the performance and incredible muscle definition that is consistently found in this flush.
Their young dam was a sale topper at the 2023 Foundation Female sale in Denver when we partnered with GMC to acquire this incredible female. She is a combination of crossing the carcass oriented Fireball with the longstanding tradition of maternal and performance excellence known to be found in the Circle L herd in Montana. This female has been an excellent embryo producer and we look forward to having several ET progeny to be highlighted attractions in both herds for years to come.

Triple threat flush brothers that have herd changing thickness, outlier muscle shape, volume and dimension. They replicate the mission of creating power and function in a maternal based pedigree. The curb appeal that the Ratified’s have created and been known for is once again evident here. This set of brothers have big time potential and will be crowd favorites. When studying cow power, phenotype and numerical excellence it starts with bulls like this.
The dam is a new acquisition from the Mountain View herd in Tennessee in partnership with the Wilson Brothers. She has been a big egg maker and her desirable qualities are easily carried onto her progeny. The females she has produced are equally exciting and leave us great promise in the future that this female will have for a number of years.
POSS RATIFIED
Another deep chested Ratified that is moderate framed with enhanced eye appeal and stoutness. A personal favorite for pedigree, phenotype, performance and cow power beyond compare. An excellent footed bull that has an exceeding amount of bone and muscle substance. He will add serious dollars to your bottom line. The Ratified progeny have proven to be versatile and keep you profitable in every sector of the beef business for generations to come. His dam is a top-notch female in our herd that is nontypical of her pedigree. Excellent footed, easy fleshing with great fertility. She will continue to be exciting for years to come as she is due with another calf by Ratified yet again.
Offered as one of the more moderate bulls of this offering, yet very well could be the longest sided individual of this entire calf crop. He is built with a look that is second to none and stands on excellent feet. His mother is a massively constructed female that has an incredible amount of power and substance in a larger framed package. She traces back to the famed Blackbird 4301 cow that left a massive footprint on the industry as a whole.
Rawhide
19416968
Rawhide was the all-time high seller in our 2020 production sale to ST Genetics. Since then, he has gone on to create industry-wide pandemonium because of his elite combination to add eye appeal, front end extension, and depth of body. When you combine his incredibly balanced EPD tabulation, Rawhide easily becomes one of the most appealing sires for every facet of the industry.
The Rawhide progeny have so far elaborated into everything we have expected and more, due to his excellent ability to sire consistency within his sire group. His ability to create cattle with substance, ideal growth curve, sound structure and excellent disposition; is part of why we feel Rawhide is one of the greatest breeding bulls we have ever produced. Some of the most recognized operations in the country have utilized Rawhide through AI and embryo work, with that being said Rawhide semen is in very high demand, especially after placing 9th in the breed for registrations this past year.
POSS RATIFIED
A major sale attraction with this standout Ratified son that is one of the youngest bulls in the entire sale offering. He will rival with the best in any pen of bulls and has authentic breed character with unmatched performance. Coming from the Diablo Angus program as a product of their ET program he is destined to make a contributing impact on the most discriminating cowman or woman. His dam has been an anchor in the heralded program of our good friend Dennis Lopez, and has been the foundation to numerous high sellers. She is a stalwart for adding size and performance unlike any cow we have seen.

The Rawhide daughters are what we feel is his greatest attribute to his genetic contribution. The Rawhide daughters in production are everything we had hoped for; expansive rib shape, bold in their design and some of the most feminine daughters we have ever raised, which gives us promise that these daughters will play a pivotal role in every herd. His deceased dam was our very best cow that has left us a solid roster of daughters. Her long list of herd bulls consists of Winchester, Rawhide, Remington, Outlaw, Dependent, Atlantis 2510, True Test and several others. We feel that her spot in the industry could be as valuable as any.
This larger outlined Rawhide son from the fall division continues the excellence of this well received sire group that has been a staple of our program for multiple years now. You can expect Lot 73 to carry on the depth of rib, functionality and masculinity that has made Rawhide so popular the last three years. The dam is a full sister to Baldridge Pappy, who is most notably known as the sire of Pendleton, was acquired from the Baldridge herd. Identified as a female that would transmit the ability of creating long lasting, productive females, her sons look to do the same. H388 was a sale highlight in the recent female sale, selling to John Melton, VA.

His dam is best known as being apart of one of the most storied flushes in our program’s history. She is off to a great start with another whopper of a

Stacking a pedigree that is full of maternally oriented individuals is often not easy, but when you find those animals they usually are the type that never go out of style. The same could be said for Lot 78. Building a pedigree that reads Rawhide x Rangeland x Element x Earnan x 1i2 x Total is a unique pedigree that offers predictability into the type of females that he will create. Not only will you find his pedigree influential, but to combine a calving ease spread with excellent growth, as well as a marbling EPD that reads over 1 is often unheard of. His dam is as perfect uddered as you will find, and the type of female that keeps you in the drivers seat of profitability year after year.
Deadwood
Deadwood created a stir among the Angus breed that has never been seen before, when he topped our sale for $900,000 to Dixie Valley in the 2021 sale. His first progeny have created more demand in a short period of time than any other bull in the breed. Ranking #18 for registrations in the 2022 fiscal year of the American Angus Association with 1,405 head and #13 in the 2023 fiscal year with 1,688 progeny; he has truly been a once in a lifetime bull. The progeny sired by Deadwood, lend a great amount of help to his stardom. Cattle that are chalked full of marbled muscle, have calving ease yet not sacrificing performance, carcass merit, as well as a maternal standout based on masculinity and eye appeal.
His progeny are a highlight of this event that we could not be any more excited to present to the public for the third year in a row. The wet daughters in production have turned into excellent females with a gorgeous design and as good of udder development as we could ask for.

A moderate framed bull that should be able to optimize growth and add natural fleshing ability. Dam is an attractive made Papa daughter that traces back to a foundation cow family from the Wehrmann program.
A dual threat of flush brothers that redefine muscle shape and eye appeal in a carcass trait package. Backed by maternal excellence and a growth curve tailored for the cowcalf industry. These flush brothers have been standouts since a young age and are an absolute must see. Arguably one of the best flushes by Deadwood we have produced in the last three years. They are two of the most masculine phenotypically correct bulls to sell from this calf crop; continuing to raise the bar even higher for their famous sire.
Their dam is a ranch favorite and a fourth-generation embryo donor. She brings mating flexibility, performance and femininity to the table instantaneously. This cow has continued to hold her prominence based on the consistency of her progeny. Her story is just beginning and we look for her to have a huge future here.

A slam dunk calving ease bull that has legitimate performance with a little more frame that is not common for his pedigree.
The dam is none other than the great 1501 who was a show stopper of the recent female sale when she topped the offering for $100,000 to Linz Heritage Angus and Antczak Angus. Her influence in our herd is undeniable and her story will continue to be a great one for the new owners. The substance and dimension coupled with her brood cow look, perfect udder development and near perfect foot quality make her one of the rare females in the breed.

A triple threat feature of outstanding herd bulls that dominate for physical presence, and arguably one of the most visually impressive flushes of bulls offered this year. Sired by the rare and popular Pappy, and crossed to the popular 648. A sure bet to sire muscle, masculinity and sound structure. These bulls have all been standouts since birth and that has not changed. They are intrinsically designed to create ultra-thick, smooth made and ground breaking performance in a maternally oriented combination. These brothers move with authority and move like a cat. Five flush sisters have been retained in the herd with the first ones entering production by sale time.
Their dam is the proven and valuable 648, who has taken performance and maternal functionality to a whole new level. She is responsible for producing numerous sale highlights such as Wrangler and Valley. She has daughters working in some of the finest herds in America. A direct daughter produced the second all-time high selling bull, Poss Pendleton to Edgar Brothers and Dixie Valley. Her genetic influence is
heavily seen not only in this offering but within our herd. She is now in ownership by Eagle Grip Cattle, CA and Abernathy Ranches, WY. Her influence has already been felt in our herd with 149 genomic progeny as of this writing. Her sons by Gable and Winchester will be major sale attractions in this same event as well. This will be the last year to acquire sons of this great cow through our operation. A flush brother was selected by Justin Driessen of Minnesota last year.
The Pappy progeny have been incredibly well received in the two prior sales, and we do not expect that to change. Although small in numbers the quality is absolutely top
Lot 231 will amplify the quality of this sire group because of his dense muscle and deep ribbed attributes. The dam is a broody Maverick daughter that has done an incredible job on her first two progeny with her third consecutive AI calf at her side yet again.
