WANGEN HYPERSONIC 516N

Stretch!! This guy is the basketball player of our bullpen, later maturing and definitely the greenest in the group. That being said I think the females out of this guy could be lights out! We love the foot quality under these 24E progeny and the females are attractive and great uddered! 516N’s dam, Dorito, was acquired from the Berg Family in MN for her foot and leg quality and added width. This pedigree combines some of the most powerful and hard to get genetics combining Six Mile Brando 666C and NJC Coming In Hot 24E, shown in the $225,000 Wilbar Baretta as well as the $70,000 Wilbar Henney parentage.

Folks, if our kids weren't showing other breeds to avoid competing against our customers, this one would never be for sale. We think this heifer can ring the bell at any level and can make a donor that will leave an impact for years to come. Her look, structure, body, and shape are hard to combine, especially in this breed. If you were paying attention at Congress, you saw her full brother in blood, TLC Navajo 531N. We feel that he will become a household name in the breed and make the donor potential of this female endless. Her dam is a full sib to the Alaynah cow, and her sire, Nio Prestige, needs no introduction. Better own this one if you want to be in the hunt when it matters and reap a huge return in production. Seller reserves the right to 2 successful flushes at the buyer's convenience and the seller's expense.

513N made his presence known early in life! Sicario is super wide constructed, massive pinned and center mass and fore rib to burn! We love his big solid dark feet with the added bone from their up. His sire, the $150k Duff HD combines Red Box and the legendary GT Cita 4060. 513N’s dam is a MLRA Respect daughter backed by our foundation Attraction 692 cow. 203K has a 102 MPPA on 2 calves, we expect that could get quite a bit higher with the quality she is bringing to the table. We retained last year's daughter by Red Blood. She is a tank like her brother and we can't wait to see how she does in production!

AWEB HANNAH

AWEB HANNAH (5037755) was A.I. Bred to JVM's great bull Nio Prestige (4370099) on 7/4/25 and vet checked confirmed pregnant on 8/20/25. The sire of the heifer is TLC Jumanji 128J, who we purchased in the 2022 Expo sale. This is a great heifer that will make a terrific addition to your herd, while also getting a great bull calf or heifer calf out of her this spring. Junior members take a good look at her.

This guy gets us excited phenotypically, but he's not just good to look at. His actual weaning and yearling numbers paired with his carcass figures make him very appealing on paper as well. This Prestige son out of an awesome Hamley cow, whose dam was purchased right here in Des Moines that went on to be reserve in Denver and won NAJRAE, just flat checks a lot of boxes. Structure, stoutness, body, and a balanced set of numbers that are exceptional where they matter. I think he works in both registered and commercial settings and will add dollars to your bottom line.

NOLINS MARLEY M7

Lot 11

Nolin’s Marley is a power cow that brings undeniable volume, mass, and broodiness to the table. She is bold ribbed, deep sided, and carries tremendous body capacity, giving her the kind of presence that anchors a cow herd. She stands on a wide, correct base, with plenty of substance of bone and a strong, durable structure underneath her. Her natural muscle expression particularly through her quarter and center body adds to her performance driven look while still maintaining flexibility and correctness. She offers a maternal silhouette, sound skeleton, and a calm easy doing appearance. If you’re searching for a female that brings real world functionality, longevity, and production, this one delivers. Our Prestige daughters are great mothers making Marley a perfectly developed bred that will work with any program. Don’t miss out on this two for one deal.

LR

CARLEY 25

Consigned by: Lindner’s Reds / KCJ Angus

Harvest Moon has been a reliable sire here at Lindner’s Reds. Harvest Moon’s calves are easy calving and vigorous from the start. The structure and soundness of these calves is incredible. We love looking at these beautiful calves. Her dam goes back to Rojas Rioja 6052 a Houston Champion Bull. LR Carley and her herd mate LR Kassi are the first Harvest Moon heifers to leave our farm, that’s how much we’ve liked these genetics.

Improve your genetics with this heifer. LR Kassi a Harvest Moon daughter has that extra look and style. Harvest Moon has been our go to sire the last few years and has not disappointed. LR Kassi’s dam is second to none when it comes to phenotype. Both sides of her pedigree say it all with Collier Final Product and 3 Acres Red River. Wisconsin is hosting this year’s National Jr Red Angus Show, bring her back home to Wisconsin.

JTVM NIXON 560N

This bull is explosive from the ground up! He is pound-for-pound the best bull we have raised. He features an elite neck that comes smoothly out of his shoulder, combined with a sound, functional build. An added bonus is that he is heifer safe. He is defiantly a promotional sire quality bull for sure!

HEIFER BULL ALERT!!!!! 471M is a red son of the Black John Wick bull. He is out of a first calf heifer and had a BW of 52. Sleep all night kind of a heifer bull with a -3.8 BW and a CED of 18. Maternally strong potential as his dam is a direct daughter of one of our best Copper Queen cows.

These two bred heifers are from the heart of our E.T. replacements. They are full sisters bred the same way to the $90,000.00 Confident 2044 Berwald bull that resides in the ABS Stud. He’s proving to be one of the best Brown CRSB Confidence 1410 sons. Their dam, GREAT in her own right, is out of the Eye Appealing Genex Thomas Jefferson Black Red Carrier bull. Their granddam, our find at the Crowfoot Dispersal in Canada (Red Crowfoot Miss Str tch 6483S), was also the dam of the$30,000.00 4 Aces Bull that went to the Bar E L Ranch in Canada. Dam 012’s numbers speak volumes of her performance which she has passed on to her daughters 404 & 416. Their sire, Berwald Complete 2054, has been making a mark in our herd with GREAT females and sons alike. You will look far & wide to find two sisters any better. Your CHOICE! They are due to calve around Feb. 20th—a QUICK return on your investment.

BARN NOEL

Noel Is a dark cherry red female with extra width and capacity. With her pedigree going back to both Signature and Heston she is very maternally bred. We purchased her sire from Ulrich red angus in Minnesota and are very pleased with the first set of calves. Soft made, thick and uniform. We are breeding the first daughters this year and are excited about their potential.

Natasha is striking in her profile with the wedge shape and extra neck extension needed for a junior project. Her mom comes from The well known Zhender herd in Minnesota known for their functionality and Natasha is cut from that mold. Her mother has been a solid producer for Dalton and we expect her to go to make an excellent brood cow in coming years.

BARU BLUE BELL THREE 486

LSF NIGHT CALVER

BLUEBELL THREE has some unique genetic advantages. She only weighed 45 pounds at birth and weaned at 605 pounds. Her birth weight EPD is -7.4 (top 1% of the breed) and her yearling weight EPD is 111. When you factor in her WW EPD of 68 and her carcass Weight EPD of 32, it makes her a big spread curve buster. Phenotypically, she is also a stand out. Her depth of rib is unequaled in our herd making her side profile very superior. Her cow family is one of the most productive at our ranch.

HELGA 475 is an outstanding female with a ton of eye appeal. She is a clean lined, stylish cow that has that up-headed look that spells presence in any arena. Her mother is a top flight cow in our herd that is moderate in stature and long on udder quality and foot soundness. 056 is a proven herd bull producer that we count on every year. Her sire is one we use to improve phenotype, particularly muscle structure and rib shape. I have every confidence that 475 will be your new favorite cow!
