We have been a part of the Wild Wild West Sale since its inception, now 17 years, and are proud to be a Wild Wild West member. This group of western cattlemen has enjoyed bringing sound, useful cattle that will work in range conditions when you take them home. We say they are “bred to be cows”. Many will work for show heifers, and youth projects, but ultimately, they “are bred to be cows”.
If you have questions please contact me (970-4812570) or manager, Russ Princ 256-254-9042. He also knows the cattle and our operation.
And finally, we value the National Western Stock Show and the Wild Wild West Sale as a time when we reunite with family and friends. We look forward to seeing you at the sale.
All Altenburg animals are tested negative PI-BVD.

Wild WildSimmental West Sale
Altenburg Super Baldy Ranch is located in northern Colorado and has been operating there for nearly 45 years. Altenburg’s emphasis is producing commercially oriented bulls for western bull customers. We utilize both Simmental and Angus genetics …. Red and Black. Simmental is utilized for adding growth and yield. Angus is used for calving ease and to add carcass quality. Both breeds have exceptional maternal traits, making the SimAngus females the most sought after cross in the industry. The resulting SimAngus – “Super Baldy” bulls are utilized by producers wanting just a little continental blood or to stabilize a crossbreeding program. We sell 120+ bulls and will hold our 25th annual Super Baldy Bull sale the 18th of March in 2017. Our cattle are summered at 6 – 7000 feet in “short grass” country requiring 20 acres per cow in the summer. Cows are “trailed” the 12 miles from the ranch each year. Cows are wintered on hay stubble, and corn stalks and calved outside. We try to run them as our commercial customers do. Both A.I. and embryo transfer are utilized to make improvements in genetic progress. Please go to our website and learn more about our program …. www.altenburgsuperbaldy.com
