Radke Land and Cattle Inaugural Presidents Day Sale 2025
Welcome!
FELLOW CATTLEMEN AND WOMEN
It is with great anticipation that we invite you to our RLC Inaugural Presidents Day Sale at the ranch on February 17.
With 15 years in the seedstock business under our belts, we have made the decision to transition from private treaty to a live auction in 2025, and we are eager to host you on sale day and show you the offering of Angus, Limousin, and LimFlex bulls and genetic opportunities we have available.
It’s been a year of rapid and exciting growth for our operation, as we have focused heavily on investing in elite Angus genetics, thanks to the mentorship of Chris Earl, CK6 Consulting. We have also worked tirelessly to fine-tune our Limousin and LimFlex program to meet the demands of our purebred and commercial cattle buyers.
This year’s sale will feature Angus consignments from our great friends at Reverse Rocking R Ranch. This select set of mature Angus bulls were not conducive to working at altitude based on their PAP scores, but their elite pedigrees and phenomenal EPD predictions will undoubtedly prove themselves in the Dakotas and our surrounding markets.
On the Limousin and LimFlex side, we will be selling some rugged and powerful bulls out of TNGC Empire, WZRK Kalua, CELL Hold The Line, WULFS Gallagher, and ROMN Floyd Mudhenkey. We welcome consignments from Amanda’s folks at NOLZ Limousin, as well. Dave and Peggy are bringing some breed-leading options to the sale, and they are eager to connect with old friends and new on Feb. 17.
We’ll cap off the sale with some premier genetic opportunities from our donor pen. With several matings to the $100,0000 Baldridge War Cry, who recently garnered $2,500 per straw at auction, we believe the combinations offered will be in high demand as this incredible market moves forward.
Without question, we are bullish on the cattle market ahead. Low cattle inventory combined with consumers’ appetite for incredible beef has the U.S. cattle industry poised for unprecedented times. As owning partners in a new auction platform, Bid On Beef, we have seen exactly that with customers in 49 states purchasing beef at a high premium this past year.
Connecting rural and urban America through these online sales has not only been incredibly rewarding, but it has been eye-opening to pinpoint the opportunities that exist. The key to success will be having the inventory and positioning yourself in the market for what is coming. It is our strong desire that we can assist our customers and partners in using that leverage to achieve these goals in the years ahead.
In closing, it would be an honor to host you at the ranch on sale day. We’ve got a full day planned, including a book reveal, Bid on Beef auction, complimentary lunch, and of course, the cattle sale, and we look forward to seeing you soon!

WELCOME TO A GREAT EVENT!
The Radke family, after 15 years in the cattle business, have decided to take their efforts to public auction. What an exciting time in the beef business for this husband-and-wife team to decide to put the pedal to the metal in beef genetics. Complementary is defined as, “combining in such a way as to enhance or emphasize the qualities of each other or another.” This is exactly what you will find on this ranch between Tyler and Amanda. It truly is a family operation, from grandparents to grandkids, they all play roles to keep their active schedule focused on genetics and advancing the great benefits of rural America.
The offering is progressive and well-managed. Their genetics are a combination of complimentary matings to ensure the elite genetic
balance can meet the high expectations of the market and flourish in any region of the country. From the first lot to the last lot, there are investment opportunities. With that investment, you will get the wonderful talents of the entire family. Do your research and see the energy, humility, and tireless work ethic on how they approach their life and service to their customers and clients.
I’m excited to watch this program and family grow in the beef business. The accomplishments for Tyler and Amanda are many for such a young couple. There is no cap, as they say, for this program, and I give my highest recommendation to the integrity, honesty, and data submission of this family and program. I look forward to seeing you at the sale!
God Bless - Chris Earl
