Rafter SJ Ranch Private Treaty Bull Sale

SJ RANCH Private Treaty Sale

^ 2024

Welcome from Rafter SJ Ranch

We are pretty excited to show you this years bull pen and again offer our bulls for sale by Private Treaty. Like a lot of others, we had to cull extra hard last fall, so out of over 60 Red Angus bull calves born, we only kept 30.

Our goal is to raise bulls that will be around for years for our customers. With this in mind, they are on a grain free 16% protein pellet from Country Junction Feeds. They get put on this and dry hay soon after weaning.

We have sourced and built our herd up from top Production and Dispersal sales and the prestigious Red Round-Up sales. When purchasing females and herd bulls, we always have feet, udders, fertility and temperament a top priority. We also put a lot of time and consideration into researching the AI sires we use. We use some fresh hot genetics, but mostly the old tried and true proven AI sires. We have a wide variety of genetics to cover all of our customers needs, from moderate framed heifer bulls to growthy scale benders.

We are passionate about our cattle and really enjoy visiting old, new and potential customers, so if you have questions about our program, or the bulls; stop in for coffee and then we can show you their dams and our herd bulls as well. We hope to be a part of the sense of pride our customers can have when they look at their next years pen of calves. What a truly great time to be in the cattle industry!!!

RED RAFTER SJ GENESIS 31J

We feel blessed to have this young Red U2 Genesis 103G son walking our pastures! His sire was the second high selling bull at the 2020 U2 bull sale for $77,000. We bought his beautiful dam as a bred heifer at Red Round-Up and were sure happy when she had a bull for us. He is smooth shouldered and wide topped and has a strong foot on him. We just used him on heifers his first breeding year and are proud to offer five of his sons for sale.

RED DERSTA RENDITION 38H

Red Dersta Rendition 38H is a well balanced and classy bull. His pedigree is loaded with great sires like U2 Reckoning, Minburn Copenhagen, and Howe Magnum, and great cow families like U2 Anexa, U2 Lassie and U2 Larkaba; But even more important is he lives up to these names, having a great birth weight to weaning weight spread himself and his calves.

RED RAFTER SJ GAME FACE 40H

Red Rafter SJ Game Face 40H came in a good looking Barndance cow we bought when the Vikse family dispersed their Angus herd. We searched her out being the only cow there that was AI’ed to Red Six Mile Game Face 164Y. His calves come easy, with big cows having bigger calves and moderate cows having moderate sized calves, with an overall average of an 84lb birthweight.

RED TER-RON TORQUE 128G

We only put a few cows with TORQUE as we’ve had him a few years and we like to keep fresh genetics for our customers. So; we only have one Torque son this year. I first saw Toque on his dam at Lloydminister where they topped their classes, and he is even more impressive as a herd bull. His feet are big and solid! His extra gentle disposition makes him so easy to deal with, and his extra length and depth is remarkable!
