Pedigree Block Key:

First of all, I’d like to thank all our customers for your generous support of our programs over the years. We certainly would not be where we are today without each and every one of you! Your combined confidence in our programs allows us to continue our quest of improving and building good cowherds across the west. It’s a journey that is both arduous and ultimately rewarding as we see progress made toward our goal of providing a consistent, functional product that performs well on the available resources, covers lots of varied terrain, breeds lots of cows and survives to do it again and again. At the same time, leaving daughters that do the same without needing any excuses. Sounds pretty straight forward and simple right? Yeah, that’s what I thought too about 20 years ago when I thought I was pretty sappy and smart. Today I will tell you that it has been a truly challenging, rewarding, often times frustrating and confounding climb through a myriad of genetics and management practices that have led to where I sit today penning the 35th sale catalog letter of my career.

Lots of things have changed, especially the type and kind of bull that we march out today. These bulls have been slowly settling into a fairly defined genetic base with a more consistent phenotype than back in the earlier years. Moderate, deep-bodied, thick ended cattle that have plenty of power and visible muscle mass are what you expect to find here at the Herd Builder Bull Sale. And most bulls check those boxes right off. We have avoided the slippery slope of breeding for a certain defined set of numbers, yet always paying attention to them and enjoying watching our cattle ratio right in there with some of the popular bulls we choose to use. I have seen the average weight of my mature cows decrease over 300 lbs with little to no change in weaning weights. We run more cows today than we ever have, due in part to effectively managing our grass, but also due to the fact these girls simply are not weighing 1600 lbs. I always remember that the most important number is the one at the bottom of the ledger every year, and I like it when it’s black.

The current market situation looks really good for most of us. We are seeing prices that are taking a run at the unprecedented years of 2014-2016. For this I am thankful. We all know that God provides well for those of us that work hard and care for His creation, but I think many of us were spending more time in recent years looking up and wondering. I know I was. I still spend a lot of time gazing into the heavens but lately God notices the concern has been replaced with a truly grateful gaze. We do serve a Mighty and Benevolent Creator.

The bulls. The JR Ranch bulls are not fed to be as big and good looking as possible. I simply believe if I can just grow these guys up at a moderate pace, not getting them too big or getting them over conditioned that it will do nothing but increase longevity. It sure makes the first year easier on them. They have plenty of challenges without packing too much flesh. This is the first spring sale to see sons of 80F, 887, 9116 or 7519. For those of you looking for an outcross to our standard fare, both 887 and 7519 offer this. The 7519 daughters are good. Just like they are supposed to be! His sire, V910 was a sire of truly good females. 887 has surprised us with being a lower birth sire than anticipated. His dam, the 4183 cow that was responsible for the 2020 flush of brothers that topped our event has 2 sons again this year. The 189J bull is about as good genetically and phenotypically as you can ask for. I think he is just really the complete package. The 147J bull is special. Powerful, athletic and just plain good from all angles. His sire is now seeing a lot of cows naturally here and breeds like a boss. If his low birth numbers prove true and he stays healthy, we plan to AI a lot of heifers to him. I have watched this bull from the start. You are going to like him too.

Just a quick acknowledgement of the contribution that the Sackmann family continues to provide to make this day happen. They are continually encouraging, always patient and ultimately responsible for our sale catalog. Beyond that, they are great friends and share our vision of the type and kind we produce, how we raise them, and steadfastly standing behind these bulls when they don’t meet your expectations. Please take advantage of their super set of OCC Double Wide 715D sons. The bull is for real. He has exceeded my expectations with his first set of daughters. They are the right kind. As always, feel free to call us and discuss cattle or cuss politicians. We enjoy both! Looking forward to catching up on sale day.

Jeff, Pam, Colton and all the crew!

I always struggle with how to start this letter, but “friends” feels appropriate, given that so many of you have truly become friends as well as valued customers. To this day my favorite task (despite the hours, miles and diesel expense) is delivering bulls and having the chance to visit with so many good and interesting people. We sincerely appreciate your business and the support of our program that allows us to live our dream. I don’t call as often as I should, but I do enjoy the feedback I get, texts and pictures of good things our bulls are doing for you. Please continue to let us know how we are doing. Sustained relevance and usefulness to our commercial customers is the top priority here.

We are committed to keeping it as simple as possible. Our matings, replacement selection and culling are oriented toward relentless improvement of our herd for fleshing ability, fertility, soundness of foot, leg & udder structure with profitable performance and practical cow size. It is a process that continues with more hits than misses and I am confident that we are moving in the right direction. With that being said, every new calf crop should be the best one. I generally try not to make that claim because it is such a cliché. This year however, I feel strongly enough to say that this is the best set of bulls I have ever been able to offer! The quality, consistency and power of this group is impressive. Putting together the catalog order has been a challenge with so many really good bulls in every pen and so many elite bulls in different sire groups. The Resource cattle have been so well accepted that I chose two Resource daughters (of our old OCC Eureka cow) – 7144 and 6124 - to add to the ET program. They both were good embryo producers, and the quality of the bull calves they produced from each mating was everything I had hoped for. Their combined 16 progeny represent a great opportunity to put together a group of closely related bulls that can positively impact the quality and uniformity of your next calf crop.

Please consider our invitation to join us in Othello on Monday, March 20th at the JR Ranch sale barn. There will be good food, good cattle and lots of great people to help us celebrate the things that God has blessed us with – our industry, our families and the great country we live in!

Call or visit any time to come look through the bulls or take a tour of the cow herd. I’d love to show you around unless I’m at a basketball game.....Come say hi at the State B Tournament in Spokane, as our Warden Lady Cougars (with Molly and Lila on the team) will be defending their State Championship!

Thank you,

Jeff & Jaime Sackmann

Sid & Debbie have made all of this possible through all of their hard work and sacrifice since buying the original farm (where they still live) in 1976. They enjoy spending time at their house on Deer Lake in the summer and watching their grandkids pley basketball this time of year. Thanks for everything Mom & Dad!

Matt Hayter has been working for us since 2011. He is a talented and hardworking individual that enjoys a challenge. He handles the lion’s share of the daily operations on the farm which allows me to be so involved with our kids activities. He and Dannielle have two boys, Paxton (4) and Landon (2) that love to “help” their dad on the farm. Thanks for all of your hard work, Matt!

Molly, Trevor, Lila and Nia

Bravado 2019

20377098

Remember, it ain’t bragging if you can back it up! “Bravado” is the total package with the resume to be a serious herd bull candidate. His pedigree combines two of the most famous cows in the history of the Angus breed, Coleman Donna 714 and S A V Blackcap May 4136. His maternal grand dam, O C C Dixie Erica 871N was very productive and eye-appealing beyond her 16th birthday. Two daughters of 871N (sired by Resource) 6124 and 7144, are both serving as donors for us and are well represented in this offering. This bull’s dam, “7144” possesses a rare combination of fleshing ability, power and performance. Bravado’s own performance is off the charts, weaning off his dam at 990 pounds and ranks #1 among his contemporaries for actual and adjusted weaning weight, #1 for actual yearling weight, #4 for adjusted yearling weight, and #1 for both WW epd and YW epd. He scanned a big ribeye that earned a 108 ratio. He combines this performance with percentile rankings of 85 for Mature Weight and 95 for Mature Height. These tabulations indicate that he is a unique individual that can seriously impact the power and performance of a calf crop while leaving daughters that should be very productive in the right size package. He is sound, wide based and packed full of muscle while displaying a tremendous amount of shape and volume of rib cage. I intend to use this bull in our breeding program. Selling 2/3 Interest and Full Possession.

Big, stout, performance powerhouse with a loaded maternal pedigree. His ribeye ranked #1(tie) with an adjusted RE ratio of 113. He ranks #2 for adjusted YW and YW epd. Renown has proven to be a sire of elite females, and this bull’s fertile, pathfinder donor dam has been one of our best producers. Her first calf served as a herd sire for Jay Smith’s registered program in Carmen, Idaho.

Here is a long, smooth made, eye-appealing performance-oriented bull that ranked #1 (tie) for actual yearling weight. He is a maternal brother to “Reservoir” that we retained to use in our herd. His dam is a big middled, massive power cow that entered our donor program this year and just made pathfinder again. We used Marshall to get the influence of the beautiful Coleman Donna 197 cow.

Maternal Brother to Lot 3

This is a sharp looking Rainfall son that will catch your eye. He ratioed 108 for IMF and 109 for RE. His dam has a really good udder and has consistently been a good producer. Could be used on heifers with some discretion.

This is a big, growthy bull with a lot of substance that ranked #5 for actual WW. His dam has a 362 day calving interval and her calves always perform.

I used Stellar after seeing a bunch of his daughters that I really liked while at Sitz Angus in Montana. We start this sire group with a truly elite performance bull. He tied for the top actual weaning weight of his calf crop and finished #2 for adjusted WW, WW epd and YW epd, as well as #4 for actual YW. He is long bodied with the frame built to perform. His pathfinder dam is a maternal sister to Solo.

“7144”

Sackmann Stellar 2537

Sackmann UnmiStakaBle 2532

+20377101

We start the group of 6124 sons with this pair of full brothers sired by Stellar. They are peas in a pod, stout, long sided with plenty of eye appeal and performance. Use them to produce elite females that you will love when they fill your replacement pen.

This bull is a stud! I’m guessing he was held back by his recip mother because since entering the feedlot he has put the hammer down! From August 10 to January 4, he was the top performer at 3.84 lb./ day. Very 3 dimensional in his type with tons of rib shape and muscle on a wide base. Full brother to a herd bull we retained.

“726D”

Sackmann Stellar 2539

6124 took an unorthodox path to the donor pen. She displayed her fertility at an early age, with her unplanned pregnancy resulting in having her first calf at 15 ½ months of age. She received no special care as I would have preferred to have her in the fall herd. She had her second calf 363 days after her first and did a good job. At that time the spring herd was primarily devoted to making steers for the kids to show and I didn’t always turn in weaning weights on the handful of spring registered cows. I then bred her to a sim-angus bull for her third calf, moving her up a couple more weeks in the process. That was a great steer that didn’t get to show (2020 feels like a long time ago now, doesn’t it?). Her fourth calf was a ripping stud of a bull we ended up keeping and I decided to flush her a few times on the way to getting her in the fall herd where she belongs. Broody, capacious, sound, productive fertile is how I would describe her. The ET progeny from each mating are consistently good.

We start the Double Wide sire group with this outstanding individual that I always see standing square and correct. He is moderate framed, stout, deep bodied and wide based. This bull is a personal favorite that I would like to use back in our own herd. Selling 2/3 interest and Full Possession.

+20377071

“549”

Sackmann doUBle wide 2029

This Double Wide son is a heifer bull deluxe that cracked the top 5 of this calf crop for adjusted 205 day weight and earned a 108 ribeye ratio. He couples this performance with an eye appealing package that is very moderate and wide based. He has an incredible amount of rib shape and volume.

Sackmann doUBle wide 2027

Here is a heifer bull with excellent performance and stems from a very good cow family. The Double Wide daughters are consistently good and have surpassed our expectations.

First Calf Daughters

This is another solid heifer bull with a little more size and scale that performed well. He is a maternal brother to the Bravo son that sold last year to Dutch Flat Angus and Dixon Land & Livestock.

This is a Double Wide son with added size, scale and performance that I would like to use. He ranked #4 for adjusted 205 day weight, and #1 for adjusted 365 day weight. I love his dam for her excellent feet, solid udder, fleshing ability and production. She is on the short list to enter the donor pen soon. The daughters of this bull should be outstanding! Selling 2/3 Interest and Full Possession.

Sackmann doUBle wide 2034 (ohP)

The quality runs deep in this sire group. He was the third heaviest at weaning, helping his dam become a third generation pathfinder!

If you ever encountered “River” you knew you had seen a real beef bull. He packed an unreal amount of muscle, dimension and rib shape on a very moderate frame. This son is an excellent representative of his sire, ranking #5 for adjusted 365 day weight in a modestly framed package. He is very 3 dimensional and displays plenty of muscle and volume. His dam is a nice little Unmistakable cow that goes back to our 9732 donor. Don’t overlook this bull, he is really good.

“7530” “9732” “946U” “451”

Sackmann renown 2510

Here is a flush brother to lot 2 that just missed making the top pen at weaning. He is a larger framed individual with lots of performance and gained 3.74 lb./day on test. If you need to inject some feedlot performance, this bull is well suited to do the job. His flush sisters are feminine, angular and both settled AI in their inaugural breeding season. His pathfinder donor dam is one of our best cows!

Sackmann Solo 2023

Sackmann Solo 2044

This is another good representative of the Solo sire group. They are truly moderate framed cattle with extra rib shape and muscle expression. I really like the first Solo daughters in production. They are hard working little cows with excellent udders that out-produce themselves.

We start the Solo sire group with a calf I really like. He is among the youngest in our offering, but has performed well and looks the part. His pathfinder dam from the Ruby family is on the short list for consideration to enter our donor pen.

hayter Solo J22 (m1P)

20414216

Sackmann wide load 2028

“Wide Load” is a fitting name for this beast! He packs serious pounds on a very moderate frame with an unbelievable amount of center mass and dimension. An excellent choice if you want to decrease mature cow size and improve fleshing ability. With his 152 IMF ratio he would be perfect for a grass finishing operation. I would like to use him on some of our heifers and will collect semen before delivery. Selling 1/2 Interest and Full Possession

hayter 0190 doUBle wide J20

Here is a good heifer bull that is a Double Wide grandson sporting a 112 ratio for ribeye. He is well built from the ground up with base width, square hip and big top. His dam is a full sister to Hayter Revolve E11, the top selling bull from our 2019 sale.

602

Unmistakable 549

Perdie Pride 0130

hayter doUBle wide J18

This calf really has a classy look with extra rib shape and should be safe to use on most heifers. His dam is a pretty little 549 cow with excellent udder quality. His sire did a good job for Tye Knebel and left some nice daughters in his herd.

If you like to go to basketball games in the winter like I do, this is the bull to use on your heifers. More substance than you would expect from a -4.5 BW bull. His dam is a full sister to Hayter Revolve E11, the top selling bull from our 2019 sale.

We sampled Connealy Emerald last year and were rewarded with some nice calves. This bull is expressive in his muscle pattern and could probably be used on heifers in the right situation.

+20377073

33 Sackmann rainfall 2540

This bull is double bred to the 4136 cow and he has the look and performance to be a real difference maker for whoever is lucky enough to take him home. I love the dimension this bull displays.

Sackmann Solo 2545

Sackmann Solo 2544

rainfall 2542

This mating of Solo x 7144 is very intriguing to me. They pack so much muscle and performance on a truly moderate frame. If you have some big cows that need to be scaled down a bit, but wish to maintain performance these bulls would fit the bill. The daughters of these bulls could really be something special.

“7144”

Here is another Rainfall x 7144 that could be a sleeper. I don’t know which full brother will turn out to be the best one. I do know they are all out of a great cow and sired by a great bull! I like this royally bred bull’s length of side, depth and substance.

This 6124 son has plenty of gas in the tank. He is solid, sound and has a nice look in a practical size. This mating should have plenty of performance for most environments, and the daughters should be excellent! I think the ‘ol Coon Dog would approve.

Dan Coonrad managed the WSU Beef Center for 37 years. Jaime and I competed on his Livestock Judging Team and were part of the original Cougar Cattle Feeders group that Dan advised. I worked for Dan, lived at the Beef Center, and was “adopted” by Dan and Karen as one of their “Beef Boys”. Dan taught us about so many things – livestock evaluation, EPDs, low-stress cattle handling and forage/range grazing management to name a few. I have repeated his quote often “A beef cow’s purpose is to turn a low quality forage into a high quality protein, and she needs a factory to do that.” To this day I still look for cattle with a big rib cage with lots of volume and capacity (the factory). What had the biggest impact on me was the dozens of hours and thousands of miles traveling to judging contests. Talking to Dan and learning about the beef and seedstock industry, visiting some of the top purebred operations in the west, and just being exposed to a world that was new to me was exciting. He ignited my passion for Angus cattle and completely altered the trajectory of my career/life. We lost him in December (too soon) and ask you to keep Karen and her family in your prayers as they continue on in his absence. The turnout at his “celebration of life” in January was a testament to the impact he had on so many people over the years. I’m honored to be a part of the Beef Boy “fraternity” that has so many people of prominence in the livestock industry as members.

Several of us have expressed a desire to honor Dan’s memory by helping fund and promote the kind of hands-on educational opportunities for young people Dan helped provide for us. We hope to have details of a memorial fund in place by sale day. We pledge ½ of the proceeds from lot 37 (in recognition of his 37 years of service at WSU) to this endeavor.

Sackmann Bravo 2001

We have dabbled with a little Simmental in recent years to make steers for the kids (they love a little chrome). I think there is a place for Sim-Angus genetics and we have had some customers express an interest in getting some from us. Look for more in future sales. This bull is really solid, deep sided and square hipped. He tied for the biggest ribeye of this calf crop on ultrasound day. His maternal grand dam was a powerhouse and his dam is a striking BWF cow. “Deliver” is about as easy-calving as any bull we have owned or even used for that matter.

Sackmann Bravo 2004

Here is a Bravo that is soggy and deep sided. Back to Deliver and Hero 6017, two of the most consistent low birth bulls we have ever used.

Bravo 2013

This particular bull is a great example of why I am so excited about the Double Wide daughters. His dam did an amazing job and looks fantastic doing it. He is smooth made, deep sided and square hipped with a stylish presence. Going back to the Princess 943 cow (Chief’s dam) on the bottom side adds confidence to a resume that includes top notch ratios and an elite EPD profile that makes him one of the best heifer bulls in the bunch.

Sackmann river 2040 (ohP)

This River son is a soggy, loose hided brute that is out of one of my favorite cows. She has been a solid producer, has a great udder, and as much volume and middle as you can put in one.

This bull obviously was unable to express his genetic potential while at the cooperater herd, since he has seriously hit the gas while in the feedlot, gaining 3.46 lb./day on test (3.79 since October) and looking great.

Sackmann rainfall 2534

The Sackmann Authentic 7112 bull sired some very nice young cows, and this bulls dam is certainly doing the job. This calf is stout and really has a great look.

Apparently, this bull was on a poor recip, because he is kicking butt in the feedlot, gaining over 3.6 lb./day since August.

JR Ranch Angus Bulls - Lots 51-103

It was a good day when I bought a son of a Tim Ohlde bull named Paxton. My cowherd would not be where we are today without his influence. We are still using him and will continue to do so. If you have never used an OCC Unmistakable 946U son, you need to. He was the best one I’ll ever use. 03/03/2008-01/26/2023. It was a good run. Rest easy old boy.........Jeff Schmidt

Jr JUdicioUS 189J

This is the 13th year in a row we have sold one or more sons of OCC Unmistakable 946U here in this sale barn. The old bull has certainly become well known to so many programs that have benefited from his influence over the years. He made cattle that rose to the top of contemporary groups they were born into, time and time again. 189J’s dam is a cow that earned her stripes at Loomis Cattle when Todd Bayless was there. I had the opportunity to purchase some embryos from 4183 a few years ago and no, this is not the first time her sons have led off our sale here in Othello. I believe this bull is for real. He has the lineage to be a powerful maternal superstar. Selling ½ interest and full possession.

A very well-mannered individual that comes from a great family of cows that have been doing things right for a lot of years here. The 4X13 cows are so good in so many ways it’s difficult to describe on paper. The Emblazon females are a solid foundation for any program that needs easy fleshing cattle. This rascal is going to leave daughters that you’ll love.

The Truman 447 sons have charged to the forefront here recently with 80F and his success here. Offering less birthweight and consistent phenotypic quality have made them popular cattle. They do so many things correctly that we are just beginning to realize their importance in the total picture. 16J is unique with his +14 $EN value, placing him in the top 2% of the population. Combine that with a $M of +80 and his +10 CED and a -1.1 BEPD and I think you have a superstar in the making. He’s good-natured, deep-sided, rock solid and goes back to the 510T cow that has been a consistent producer of pure power. Don’t overlook this bull. He’s one of the promising heifer bulls to leave the JR in quite a while.

Jr 80f trUman 96J

The Truman 80F bull is doing a fantastic job here for us. His first set of sons was as good and consistent as any bull that has ever walked here. He is just good in so many ways. 96J is easy on the eyes and a well-balanced individual. Smooth made and athletic, he should travel bigger country and look good doing it. Putting Charlo and the old Thriller bull on the bottom give me confidence in the udder quality his daughters will possess.

Jr 80f trUman 24J

A well balanced 80F son that offers a bit more frame and scale, he’s sound made and goes back to the 534U Emblazon daughter that is still going strong at 14 years old. He is bred to sire productive, long-lasting cows that you can build around.

Jr 80f trUman 50J

Moderate and thick ended, this 80F son comes from a great uddered daughter of our Rito 7075 son. These cows are nearly impossible to shake out of the tree. They breed back, raise nice calves and have looked consistently good in the process. 50J stands on a good set of feet and legs. He’s ready to go to work.

Big weaning ratio on this guy of 116 gets your attention. If pounds are your goal, then a bull like this deserves consideration. He is stout and moves with authority. His first calf heifer mom bred back naturally and calved at 360 days as a 3-year-old. I have learned to appreciate the 2-year-olds that breed easily. They tend to turn into old cows here more often!

This big brute was raised by Ken Gross and weaned at a whopping 815 lbs at just shy of 7 months. The HB56 Recharge bull was a bruiser. We lost him last winter so these few and a handful more are his only sons that will be sold. Grab hold if performance is what you’re after!

This long-spined bull is a full brother to our lot 52 bull. He’s got a little more frame to him and is just about as long-sided as they come. He stands on a solid set of feet that he can use to travel lots of miles breeding cows. Tie these brothers together and what a set of calves you can look forward to in the future.

Another solid son of the HB56 Recharge sire from Ken Gross. This stud weighed 805 lbs on the 24th of September 2021. His Capitalist dam has a beautiful udder and looks good while raising a big, solid calf.

This well-balanced, attractive son of 377F has the pedigree to do some great things. 5005, Unmistakable, Resource, 303, all show up. He performed well with an actual weaning weight of 715 pounds and walked across the scale with a yearling weight of 1090. Ratios of 109 and 108 respectively.

“5005”

This calf has been an eye catcher since last summer. Bred just like the 126J bull, he stacks 5005, the 303cow, Renown and Unmistakable all up front in his pedigree. His maternal granddam, 522U is still raising calves here at 15. 5005’s dam, 7126 is still walking at McCumbers in North Dakota at 16. Longevity will make you more money in this business than big numbers or new and exciting pedigrees, every time.

This guy is one of the really easy going heifer bulls in the sale and makes him an easy choice for someone needing a really attractive, good dispositioned bull for heifers. His super eye appealing phenotype combined with solid performance for a 71 lb. birthweight should put him right at the top of the list for heifer bulls.

Jr deliver 47J (ddP-m1P)

A sharp, classy looking heifer bull prospect here. OCC Deliver has a solid track record here and at Sackmann Cattle on heifers. We haven’t ever assisted one here out of a heifer. They come easy and are quick to get on the move, critical traits if you are going to calve when it might be cold.

Jr deliver 23J

A heifer bull that boasts a maternal side that is built for the long haul. Both 50P and 58W were used in our donor pool here because of their superior performance over time. The 41/97 New Zealand bull is renowned for siring cattle that stay in the herd for many years too. Save the heifers out of this bull and enjoy the results.

Here is the calf that I would tap as the sleep-all-night heifer bull. He brings 3 generations of proven easy-calving sires to the table and he is a well built bull with some quality good looks to boot!

Atlee Mae Maxey brought some pink to the Schmidt grandkids!

We bid an earthly farewell to both Roger and Ellie last year. Our lives were changed forever, but those of us who were fortunate enough to know Mom and Dad realize the world was a better place because of the countless lives they touched. We rejoice in the fact that they are together once again; they did not spend too much time apart. God’s providence is a blessing for sure. I often wonder how I got so lucky as to be chosen to be their son. What an honor, what a gift. And what a comfort to know that Jesus Christ has provided victory over death at the foot of the Cross.

Jr forte 147J

Here is an absolute beast of a bull! I truly struggled with selling this one. He puts so many pieces together correctly for me that I think he has a real chance to be a changer. He is soft made, big-middled, fluid and athletic when he gets on the move and wide enough to make you take a second look. His maternal granddam is the Miss Wix 926 cow, who happens to be the dam of Titanium 3127. 3127 is arguably the most powerful bull we have ever used here for pure muscle and strength of top clear through his big, stout hip. So perhaps he comes by it predictably! His sire is an own son of the legendary PAPA Forte 1921 out of the super cow Coleman Donna 714. If his birth numbers hold true, and he makes a herd sire that is heifer safe, the answer will be, no, I should not have let him go. We plan to plug him in here this year. Selling ½ interest and full possession after May 10, 2023 to allow us time to get him collected.

A high performing son of the Emulation 7519 bull. Weaned off his mom at 730 lbs. and ratioed 113. He has the power, presence and balance that catches your eye every time with a big strong stride that looks good. He looks and acts like a herd bull should. His pedigree offers some variation for those that need an outcross to our standard fare here.

Jr 80f trUman 69J

A good looking son of 80F that stems from the 20S Foxfire cow that may have been the best one to ever walk our pastures outside of her dam, 303. 20S is the female that taught us how powerful and unique her mother was. Good performance for this guy earned him a favorable spot in the order.
