IT’S A PEOPLE BUSINESS
It’s people like our long time friends at P Bar S Ranch that make this business special. We love our cattle and the challenge of maintaining the leading edge of breed progress, but it’s the support and partnerships we form with people like Paul Sisemore and crew that make it so rewarding. We thank them for their continuous support and look forward to the impact of our genetics in their reptuable program.
KLS SULL GUCCI 205G
Purebred • Homozygous Polled Full sister to WLR Prada. We thank and congratulate P Bar S Ranch on recently acquiring half interest in this breed changing female. We look forward to working with them and Sullivan Farms in creating big things with this outstanding sister to the legendary WLR Prada. We also appreciate P Bar S Ranch purchasing the heifer pregnancies we consigned to the recent Night On The Town Sale in Las Vegas. These females will be daughters of our legendary donor, HSF Your Fantasy, out of SCC SCH 24 Karat and Silveiras Forbes 8088 (Angus sires). They will also be maternal sisters to the ever popular Riverstone Charmed. Look for big things coming from these females and the influence of these genetics in the P Bar S program.
We thank all of our customers for your purchases this past year and wish you all a prosperous 2022! Watch for buying opportunities we will have available during the new year. Your call or visit is always welcome.
