We want to say thank you to everyone who has impacted our family and our cattle operation. Since the beginning, there have been countless people who have touched our lives and for that we are grateful.

Without the blessing of our family, friends, and customers none of this would be a reality. As cattle producers, we have a great responsibility to manage the land and tend to the livestock. As you know it is a task that can be both rewarding and overwhelming at times. The collection of a sale offering is a result of years of hard work and the fruits of our labor. We’ve tried to listen to our valued customers over the years.

One of the overriding requests has been for more age advantage bulls.

This year all the bulls meet that request. We take great pride in the presentation of these bulls. The bulls are toned up, hard muscled, and ready to go to the pasture. They have been developed on wheat pasture, grass in the summer, and limit fed grain ration since December.

We believe this bull development program will offer bulls with greater longevity and structural soundness for our customers.

The 2025 set of bulls includes some unique individuals as most sales do but this set of bulls is undoubtedly the deepest group in terms of quality that we have ever offered. In the breeds with larger numbers of bulls offered, there are many bulls that could be debated as the best and the gap between that group and the last bull in the breed is very small.

It is our pleasure to welcome you to the 22nd Annual Bixler Ranch Bull Sale!

SIRE: CREED (RED COCKBURN ASSASSIN 624D) SIRE EPD: CED BW WW YW 11 -1.3 61 103 DAM: 901 (HAMLEY) We introduced two Creed sons to you last year with one of them being one of the high sellers and the pair averaged over $8,000.

We hope you got acquainted because the first six pages of the catalog are Creed sons this year. Lot 1 may be as arrogant and striking of an individual as you will find anywhere. From hoof to hock, this bull has tremendous strength of bone. You don’t take a pen and draw them any squarer hipped than this bull. He stands square and comfortably at the ground. He’s loose, he’s flexible, and he’s angular. He possesses the “it factor” when you think about producing the next generation of elite animals that have the intangibles to garner the highest dollar amounts. His frame size is just right to either be put on larger cows and have tremendous performance or be bred to moderate cows and maintain efficiency. In a deep set of Creed brothers, this dark red Lot 1 is an outlier.

This bull's upper skeleton is elite within the breed. His rib shape is bold and robust. He is big and broad through his upper hip. Lot 2 is packed full of red meat. He is correct in his lines and he is blessed with the structure the Red Angus breed needs. His 8150 mother is striking and consistently churns out some of our top end Red Angus.

Notice his Donor 4Z granddam and be sure to read the comments on Lot 6 about her. This bull could fit many different cattlemen and may be the stoutest of the first 3 Lots in the sale. This is the bull that you turn out in the pasture along the most traveled road for everyone to see the kind of bull you run with your best cows.

It’s a tough race this year for who is the best performance bull, but Lot 3 is going to have a say in the matter. If you have friends still buying bad looking bulls just because they say they have great growth numbers, as their friend, it’s probably your duty to let them know that it doesn’t have to be that way.

You can’t ask for more performance than Lot 3 and I’m not sure he is capable of giving you a bad look. He has an easy keeping look to him for a growth bull, and you are going to have a hard time not keeping some females and bulls back out of him. This is a long sided, soft bellied, free moving bull that just does everything right. Isn’t that what we’re looking for?

There are moments when you think this could be the best bull in the sale, and for some cattlemen he might be. This bull is for the breeders that like big middled, easy keeping, masculine bulls.

This is likely the last direct offspring of a full sister to 132 to sell and what a way for that lineage to go out after nearly a decade and a half of production. Performance, longevity, and low birth weight maternal genetics in a bull that you’re proud to look at every day.

He doesn’t pound the scales like some of his brothers, but this bull has some tremendous muscle shape. People like to use the phrase that they can land a cargo plane on an animal’s back and if that were possible, Lot 5 would be the Creed brother that you could do it on. For that kind of muscle, this bull is really neat headed and tight made through his front end making you think he might also calve easier than some as well. That added power comes from his PTO mother who raised our highest selling calving ease bull to date in last year’s sale. Lot 5 won’t be the first pick of the group, but neither was Tom Brady.

Lot 7’s mother who was purchased from our friends up the road, McMurphy Farms, has produced picture lot bulls in back to back sales. The best part about it is that they keep getting better! From his nose to his toes, this is one good looking dude.

This bull hits you with more than enough muscle shape from any direction you view him. Now where it just gets plain fun is when a bull bred and built like this comes with a sleep all night kind of birthweight. In sports, Mr. Versatility is typically a player that adds value playing a variety of positions but is unlikely to be the most valuable player. With Lot 7, his versatility might make him the most valuable animal in the entire sale for some breeders.

The 808 cow produced one of the first heifers out of the 609 PTO son that we sold in our 2020 sale. That heifer was very elite and 5 years later we’re still breeding cows to 609. That elite heifer born in 2021 would be a full sister to the Lot 8 bull here. Whether you want to call it consistency or potency in genetics, it makes a difference and this bull has what we strive to produce. The 609 sons have headlined multiple sales for us and this bull is cut from the same mold that is ultra stout featured, long bodied, and the kind that makes you proud when you check that pasture.

Dive in here for some proven genetics that you can count on.

To take the comments from Lot 8 one step further, that heifer that we mentioned as a full sister to Lot 8 just happens to be the mother of Lot 9! She was bred to 5L Independence for her first calf and she produced what we consider to be one of the top calving ease Red Angus bulls we have offered. When you put this mating together on paper, you want the body from his 1808 mother, you can’t beat the performance or structure of 5L Independence, and you hope for a small headed, neat shouldered calf that comes out in the 60’s. You be the judge but I’ll be darned if it didn’t actually work how it was drawn out on paper. Whatever mark you put by the calving ease bulls that you like, go ahead and put one here.

The lightest birth weight bull in the sale but he’s definitely not inferior phenotypically. Lot 10 could have been pictured but when he is sandwiched between the bull in front and behind him it’s clear who drew the short straw. The maternal granddam of this bull is a sister to Donor 42B. When the snow is blowing and your heifers are calving, you’ll be glad to own this bull.

Calving Ease

Calving Ease

S ta n d a r d s 12 March 8th - 11.a.m - waynoka, ok - cci.live

If you haven’t noticed, we are incredibly cautious when marketing calving ease bulls. We almost exclusively sell calving ease bulls that were calved by first calf heifers, except for unique cases. To take that one step further, that heifer calving unassisted doesn’t mean that bull calf can be a calving ease bull.

We watch most heifers calve, document every calf at birth, analyze their build and how easy they were calved, and then still will not consider them sufficient without being satisfied with their vigor after birth.

Unless we are confident with breeding our stoutest crossbred heifers to that bull, they won’t be considered calving ease.

SIRE: DUFF RED WOOD 1941 DAM: O627 (PTO X TAURUS X 42B)

Whether it is for calving ease or just top end, proven genetics, Lot 11 is about as royally bred as we can make them. This bull has 1 shot of 132 and 2 shots of Independence in him so there is no better calving ease combination we have seen. Outside of calving ease, Lot 11 goes back to the Taurus Donor 702 who has quickly made a name for herself with Purebred Red Angus and multiple red baldy crossbred matings. Behind 702 is Donor 42B and it’s nearly been a decade that she’s been the matriarch of our best bull matings. Not to mention that the mother to Lot 11 is a half sib to undoubtedly the greatest Red Angus female we have ever raised. She could have walked into almost any show ring in the country and won. We were so confident in her, we flushed her as a yearling and will have embryo matings from her before she even has her first calf. Should we even talk about what the bull looks like? If you don’t want to own Lot 11 by now, you’re simply not looking to own one of the best bulls. .

We won’t say that Lot 12 stands up real tall, but he sure stands out! This is a moderate, easy keeping, belly dragging calving ease bull. We love the body on this bull and he is the epitome of efficiency. We cannot get enough easy keeping cows like this. If you don’t retain your heifers, you need to make sure you sell them for a premium because someone is going to get an incredible set of females out of this bull. We like that he is loose structured and his muscle is a bonus among the calving ease bulls. This bull should generate a highly profitable set of offspring out of first calf heifers.

We’ve sold some good Percentage Red Angus bulls, but wow, this one is special! The fun thing about him is that he has been special since he was a calf. When you have cattle that look like he has through each stage of their life, it gives you a high level of confidence in the consistency that they will breed through to their offspring. Lot 13 is stout, he’s sound, and he looks like you put a laser level down his top. He is big centered and his neck comes out extra high out of the top of his shoulder. If you had a group of people each pick the 5 best looking cows that we own, this bull’s mother would end up on almost all of their list. His Aristocrat great granddam was a highly successful female for the Donor Solution group. Lot 13 could be put on Red Angus cows, he would do a tremendous job for show cattle producers, and commercially this is a very valuable bull. Like Trace Adkins says in his iconic song, “this ain’t no thinkin’ thing”. Just buy him. You’ll love him.

Generations Strong

raising quality seedstock and show cattle since 1897.

The Bixler Ranch was homesteaded in 1897 approximately 6 miles northwest of Waynoka. In 1925, George Bixler purchased his first registered Hereford cows driving them on horseback twenty miles from east of Dacoma.

George's son, Ray, continued expanding the registered Hereford herd selling bulls throughout Northwest Oklahoma.

In 1978, Stan, Ray's son, brought the first black cows into the breeding program starting the use of European breeds to stay in stride with the trends of the cattle industry.

Clark, Stan's youngest son, is leaving his mark by continuing the decades of progressive breeding to keep pace with the demands of the cattle industry.

This is the first set of Paint It Red sons to sell through our sale, but saddle up because they’re deep. Paint It Red is probably a bull that was before his time for the Red Angus breed to allow his value to be fully utilized, but he has sure produced some top end cattle. Lot 14’s mother is a striking PTO daughter out of the great 120X Mulberry Donor. That means Lot 14 has a double shot of PTO in him but when you line the good traits up, that just makes them breed that much more consistently. You can’t help but appreciate the rugged masculinity this bull possesses while gliding on an impeccably flexible structure. He has that incredibly desirable dark red hair coat with points that drift toward black. This bull is easy to handle in a group, but if we were to change anything about him we’d like to see him a little more comfortable when he is sorted off by himself, which we commonly do. We do not have any concerns for any buyer that sorts their cattle in groups though.

A smoother made, fault free Paint It Red son. He comes with an even lighter birth weight due to his 5L Independence mother.

His granddam is a high performance red blaze faced SimAngus female making this ⅝ Red Angus bull highly versatile to a multitude of breeders.

When we first started using Paint It Red, we flushed him to the top Red Angus cow we own, Donor 42B. Yes, if you study the pedigree you’ll see her on both sides. Call it what you want, but when the results look like this I think we can all agree it was the right choice. That’s before we even mention his full sister that we’ve already started flushing. Without even knowing he is royally bred, this bull’s length of body, power, and presence grab you in the pen. Being as long bodied as he is, this bull reaches out and grabs the dirt covering his track with a great big step. Lot 16 is a commercial cowman’s dream wrapped up in a pretty package.

Talk about bulls that could have been pictured. This bull is built similar to Lot 16 but slightly younger. His 929 mother put a bull in the sale last year as well so you know there is quality backing him. For commercial Red Angus breeders, the heterosis this bull offers while producing a calf crop that appears as Red Angus as any calf crop only puts more money in your pocket. If more money in your pocket isn’t something that you like, we have some pockets you can put that extra money in.

These bulls resemble each other in so many ways, but luckily Lot 18 offers a more relaxed temperament. Similar to Lot 14, we like this bull’s power, substance, structure, and presence.

It only helps that his grandmother was a full sister to our well known calving ease sire, 132. We’d like to tell you that there was something scientific about putting 2 shots of PTO in the mating, but sometimes the bull cleaning up the cows that were AI’d just happens to have common genetics with some of the cows in the pasture. Regardless, we think it worked out pretty well.

He was out of Donor 806 who was a daughter of Donor 42B. We collected the bull before the sale and thankfully so because he got his head stuck in a pipe fence and never fully recovered after being cut out. That spring we used some of the semen to breed heifers and ended up with some of the stoutest calves out of those first calf heifers.

Lot 20 is the result of one of those matings. Lot 20’s mother is a stout, red baldy female out of a Maternal Made son. This bull is just the first chapter of hopefully a long story to be written for her. If you like your calving ease bulls with a little heterosis and want some calves with muscle, Lot 20 is the bull to lock in on.

This bull is an instant value generator for your first calf heifers and he is sired by the most bulletproof Red Angus calving ease bull we have used, 132.

This ½ blood Simmental bull is stout made, big boned, and he glides like a jungle cat. We have flushed his BDR mother, Donor 605, multiple ways and she consistently rings the bell. This is the type of bull that produces unique cattle that are hard to put a value on because most livestock aren’t comparable to him. I wouldn’t spend too much time trying to figure out the exact value of those offspring though. It will be high enough to cause you tax problems.

SIRE: LOADED UP DOLLY (LOADED UP X PF FIRST CLASS DOLLY A351) DAM: 635 (344 (STEEL FORCE X ANGUS)) Lot 24 has been one of the biggest, stoutest calves since he was still nursing his mother. He has always been good, but there was a debate at that time if this bull was good or if he was possibly the best. Stan was leaning toward the latter and Lot 24 has continued to try to prove him right. Loaded Up Dolly has sired some of our top bulls for years and is the sire of the best bull we’re using right now, The Mayor, that sold in 2023 and is owned with Kevin Gore. If you AI cows and don’t own semen on The Mayor, you need to buy some. We’re not saying Lot 24 is a big time AI sire, but there is a pretty proven track record with these bold, stout featured Loaded Up Dolly sons. Buy one for yourself and we’ll bet you’ll want another.

thank you to our crew.

Retaining 1/2 interest. Seller reserves possession from June-August.

Buyer can have possession any other time of the year.

Dense! No matter what angle you view this bull from, he is dense. Lot 25 has a beautiful Bush’s Unbelievable Purebred Angus mother but other than being solid black I think he got all of his traits from Turning Point. This bull’s feet, back, and center body are massive. When you study this bull beside his counterparts, it’s incredible how much substance he carries but is as flexible in his structure as anything in the pen.

An animal this big legged and powerfully constructed should not be able to be as attractive fronted as he is either. This is a rare specimen that we aren’t able to produce often. If you like to buy the best power bulls, stay in until the bidding is over because we may not be able to duplicate Lot 25 again.

The first Red Bird son we have sold and he is an embryo mating out of Turn Key’s full sister. Lot 26 offers immense shape through his rear quarter, is strong topped, and should make some really impressive baldy females. It’s not surprising that his full sisters from this flush were some of our best females that year. You’ll be seeing plenty more from Red Bird so buy with confidence on this mating pairing some of our best genetics.

Lot 33 has been built this way since he was a calf and that is why he has always been one of the favorites. We can’t get enough cows built like him, but we’d sure like to make more. He is as deep bodied as anything in the sale. He carries his muscle down deep into his lower quarter, travels great, and is up-headed for a soggier built bull. There is a livestock judging phrase that says, “study long, study wrong” but you can study this bull as long as you want and I think the outcome will always be to buy him.

Not only was he big enough to cover cows as a yearling without having any grain as a calf, he was big bellied, great structured, and had the thickness that Turning Point breeds in his sons.

Our customers consistently tell us our bulls hold up better after the sale, through the summer breeding months, and last longer than previous bulls they have bought.

While we believe this is partially a result of decades of extensive AI & ET programs breeding and culling for animals that work for cattlemen, that is only part of the equation. Our bulls are developed in large grass pastures and rarely in a smaller area than 160 acres until right before the sale.

Rather than being in a feedlot setting, these bulls consistently travel for feed and water while building muscle tone and athleticism; just like they would when they are turned out to go to work for you. We feel strongly that if these bulls are not over-conditioned, this provides value for you as the buyer to have a bull that is ready to work right away and has the structural integrity to last you many years to come.

Argentine is an impressive bull that we used due to his multiple generations of South American bred genetics to produce a stout, easy fleshing outcross to our current genetics.

Lot 54 has a Bush’s Unbelievable mother and take notice that she is a half sib to the mother of another feature bull, Lot 25. These 2 cows are almost clones and the difference is that 1 was bred to a Purebred Angus bull and the other to a Purebred Simmental bull. Lot 54 is stout hipped and carries that power deep into his quarter. That depth of muscle pattern aligns with the depth of rib and flank that he possesses as well. The Argentine cattle have been easier fleshing which is on display with these sons. The 910 cow is extremely sharp fronted and you can see that in the neat front of Lot 54. You may not have been looking for the genetic diversity like we were but here it is right in front of you so dally hard and fast when these bulls hit the auction; you don’t want to let them get away.

This cow’s longevity is well documented. She has crossed over multiple breeds and sold sale topping cattle for us as well as many daughters we have retained for ourselves. Follow Me is a really impressive bull that was heavily used in recent years and has sired some of the top bulls currently on the market.

The larger of the Argentine sons and this bull is aggressive in all of the best ways. He’s the first to the feed pickup, he’s the first to come in the corral, and he checks out every animal in the pen with him.

Lot 58 is out of a Maternal Made son that was one of the top bulls we sold in the 2020 sale. He was out of the 340 cow that is also the mother of Lot 28 in this year’s sale. This bull takes after his sire of being big hipped, long sided, square topped, and neat necked. The Maternal Made genetics have been as potent as any we have used in recent history for producing great ones in the next generation. This bull is a 3 way cross offering the greatest heterosis and could be put back on many different types of cows.

This bull has been slated for the picture pen since before he was even weaned. He has always had the profile and muscle definition to give you a great look from any angle. He walked in exactly like he walks around in the pasture, posed, and walked straight out. His mother is a Loaded Up Dolly daughter out of the 206Z Angus donor. Calving ease bulls aren’t supposed to be built like this so take advantage when you find a low birth weight bull that gets you as excited as any.

He has good rib shape, muscle expression, is attractive from the side, and is great on the move. This is a great bull for someone calving in places that they can’t check as frequently or may have longer calving intervals. A live calf is worth as much as a nice vacation right now so think about all the extra fun you could be having each time he saves you from having a calving problem.

When crossbreeding as opposed to straightbreeding, there is a 4% increase in number of calves weaned and they wean off at about 5% heavier than straightbred calves under the same management. The increase in numbers of calves born and weaned (4%) when crossbred is due to a greater livability of the crossbred calf as compared to straightbred calves.

Greater livability of crossbred calves becomes obvious within the first week to ten days after birth. The crossbred calf, compared to a straightbred, is more hardy and aggressive.

SIRE: COC BURNIN' DAYLIGHT DAM: 715 (H12 X DONOR 950 (CARPE DIEM)) We keep going back to the well when it comes to breeding our Hereford cattle to Burnin’ Daylight. They are just too good bodied and easy keeping to go away from. It’s tough to make them any smoother topped and better hipped than this bull. Lot 61 is marked really well for those breeders trying to classify Hereford steers in Texas. This bull's maternal granddam has put a Hereford steer in the sale at every major in Texas and is likely our highest revenue generating donor. Not to mention his mother is out of the H12 bull from Bradley Hale that has been in many Champion pedigrees.

This bull is sound and functional enough to be bred to some wilder marked, extreme females, but stout and pretty enough to be bred to more common cows. Mark this as one of the more versatile Hereford marked bulls we have sold in recent years.

If you’re looking at that pedigree and are confused, you’re looking at that correctly. This bull is sired by the same Purebred Simmental Red Bird bull that you saw in the Simmental division.

If this polled bull didn’t have a white line down his back he’d be one of the most unique breeding pieces for making Hereford marked cattle. He is choke throated and high pinned with style to burn. He has as dark red of a hair coat as you could ask for and is correct in his angles. If he would breed with a decent level of consistency without throwing a line back, this bull would have a place to sell some semen. For those of you with red cows that just want to make elite baldies, forget everything that was said about the line back. Your red cows will breed that out and have you almost feeling sorry for how high you sold your calves.

62 red cattle?

63 TAG 66 HEREFORD CROSS SPRING 2023 BW: 80 They stand, nurse earlier and are more resistant to the calfhood stresses such as chill and scours.

Advantages of more aggressiveness also contributes to the increase in weaning weights of crossbred calves. Crossbred calves appear to stimulate the cow more than straightbred calves by more frequent and longer nursing. This leads to an increase in milk flow, which has the net result of heavier weaning weights.

Any other year and this would be the best commercial bull of the sale. The difference in performance is so minimal between these Charolais bulls that we’d call one really good and the other very good. Which one of those is better? We’re not sure either so just buy the bull you like. Where Lot 65 carries extra value is his prestigious pedigree. M&M Outsider is one of the most decorated sires in terms of what his offspring have accomplished.

Lot 65's mother, Lila, is very accomplished producing daughters that have won the breed at countless shows. A full sister to Lot 65 is the mother of a heifer that recently sold for $100,000. The only thing to top the way this Charolais bull is built is how he is bred.

Possibly the most unique bull we have sold to date was a massive, yellow hided, Red Angus sired bull in 2024. Lot 66 carries many of those same qualities. This bull has the muscle mass to compete with anything in the sale. His rib cage is impeccable. He is great through his forerib. He has a tremendous turn to his loin edge and this bull can travel for the amount of mass he carries. There is a long list of cows that could benefit from being bred to this bull. Lot 66 can add function and practicality to club calf cows, power to commercial cows, and should pass on good maternal traits. We don’t sell many yellow bulls, but we like to sell good ones like this!

Lot 67 is backed by multiple generations of Charolais cross donor cows going back to sibs of class winning steers at Fort Worth. He has a full brother that is a year younger and looks very promising. This bull could mate very well to some flatter made cows that you want to down size, power up, and put an incredible look into.
