Montana Maternal Baker, Montana
Welcome to our 10th Annual Montana Maternal Production Sale!
It’s hard to believe it has been 10 years, but time has flown by. We can confidently say that this is our best, most consistent set of bull to date. We have introduced a few new sires as well as a couple familiar repeat sires. The sale will be held at the ranch 5 miles south of Baker.
This year’s sale line up will feature sons of Bruin Torque, SAV Abundance, Brooking Revival, Open 8 Helix, 21AR Logo 0066 and Ellingson Rangeland. On the Simmental side we will have sons of Hooks Eagle, LRS 6030K, WS Full House 36K, and WS 38 Special 20H. These sires all get the “Montana Maternal” stamp of approval.
Thank you very much for your support and continued confidence and trust in our program over the years.
Sincerely,
Danny & Dani Mae Krantz

Rugged is the best word I can think of to describe this bull. Length, muscle and maternal strength. We think enough of this bull we gave him the distinguished name of Montana. Our Torque calves are everything we had hoped for, especially 406 being out of our Wulfs EXT x Donna cow.
