A true, real world bull in our eyes, SS Inferno 120 has gone above and beyond our expectations in just one calf crop leaving the Schrag Nikkel operation with one question…. Why did we not use more!?! In Inferno’s very small first calf crop he raised a pair of females that commanded $75,000 and $25,000 in the 2023 Family Event. Inferno was applauded for his extra bone and real world substance, elite structural build, and dense strawberry roan hair. Sired by the now deceased Millbrook Fireball, the Canadian rockstar bull that made the breeding list of some of the most progressive breeders in his short time. While his dam, SS

SS CHASING DREAMS DRAMA

FULL SIB TO INFERNO

Chasing Dreams 6202 is a power donor of the Schrag Nikkel lineup. This Hot Commodity sired female is backed by what we argue to be is the best cow family to invest in, the Dream Lady’s. The Dream Lady’s have written history books and paid off bank notes for many breeders, and having Inferno backed by that family makes us even more confident going forward. We feel like the 2022 NAILE Reserve National Champion is a bull that will work in several facets of an operation and we can’t wait to see it, as he has just scraped the surface of what his full potential could be.

HAHN Popular Opinion, the 2022 American Royal National Champion, is a bull we are very excited about. We loved him when Mackenzie brought him into the ring that day, and knew we needed him as a part of our program. As you analyze your cowherd in 2024, if you decide you need to add bone, growth, and show ring appeal, I would get on the list. We feel this bull is as good and eye catching as we have found. His added dense hair makes him the total package for raising those sought after elite show heifers. On top of that, he has genuine performance, and will raise pounds heavy, high gaining cattle. He was raised by the Hahn Family, a group that knows what real performance can do for a program. At Schrag Nikkel we dove in head first, and flushed the majority of our top donors to him and as those babies are starting to hit the ground, it has everyone buzzing. With a pedigree that is outcross and complementary to many Shorthorns today, your options are endless.

When the plan came together to promote some of the top sires in the Shorthorn industry we knew we needed a sure fire calving ease bull that would not sacrifice growth or eye-appeal on a set of calves. We think we found just that in JSF Dow Jones. Cory and Melissa fell in love with this bull at the Cattlemen’s Congress in 2022 and knew we had to own him. Now Dow Jones continues to impress. His calves are made right, they’re vigorous, and they show an impressive growth curve throughout their young lives. In his first crop he sired the Champion Late Spring Heifer calf 2023 American Royal ShorthornPlus Open Show and Reserve Champion Late Spring Heifer calf 2024 Cattleman’s Congress Shorthorn Plus Junior and Open shows. When it comes to breeding to a bull that will allow you to rest easy, Dow Jones is the choice.

As proven of a herd sire we have to offer, if you’re looking for consistent quality throughout a calf crop, this bull is for you. When Cory and Melissa implemented Propel to their herd several years ago, he took it over by storm. He clicks with about anything you put him on and raised several high quality, high selling females over the years — including the $105,000 Family Event record breaking female. The structural integrity and added length and extension of Propel progeny is second to none. Now, where we get excited and where we feel Propel is moving into a different stratosphere of good, is how elite his daughters are in production. We all love the show ring but that period of a female’s life is small, at the end of the day they must go out and produce. These Propel females have quickly sorted themselves off as top donor candidates. One example is SS Max Rosa 029. After an illustrious show career, her first two ET heifers grossed $100,000. As perfect uddered and footed as you could make them, if you’re a breeder who is playing the long game and trying to lay down a foundation, we strongly encourage Propel.

Not all bovine are created equal, some just have no bad days. From the moment we laid eyes on Lethal, we knew he had something special. Many of our peers felt the same way when he made his introduction to the public in Denver this year. He created the buzz we expected him to make. To find a Shorthorn influenced bull that is so wide behind his blade, big hipped, as square made as you could make one combined with the ability to go out and move like he does, left all of our jaws on the ground. His circumference of foot rivals anything we’ve seen and his color is as ideal of a roan pattern as you can find. All this wrapped up with a pedigree that is hot as hot can be. The success that Perfection is having in both the steer and heifer rings across the country is undeniable. Lethal is backed by Shortcake, an absolute specimen of a female who was a dominant force in the show ring for RJ Cattle. Shortcake is a Man Amongst Boys out of the immortal Lady Crystal 434P who is as proven of a donor in the Shorthorn breed as any. She is continuing to dominate, still raising top selling females and show ring champions for the top operations in the U.S. We believe that Lethal brings an interesting twist to a breeding program, but he does not sacrifice the logic of using proven pedigrees. A must use in 2024.

A bull that needs little introduction as he has already started blazing his way in the industry, is TSSC BT Limit Up. The Reserve Supreme Overall Bull at OKC in 2023 has certainly got folks talking. As flawlessly made and built as any bull in the line up, we were absolutely ecstatic to add him to the bull battery. He’s already proven he will work in the Shorthorn ring, siring the high selling $66,000 female for Meyer Family Shorthorns. On top of Shorthorn Plus’s, we think he can make Chi’s, Maintainers, Percentage Simmentals, etc. Sired by Conley No Limit, who has progeny dominating in every breed and backed by one of the best females to hit the ring, SULL Dream On 5158C. 5158C was a dominant show heifer for Sara Sullivan that is now cranking out champions and high valued herd changing breeding pieces every year. 5158C is a Right Direction out of SS Dream Lady 161, the many time champion and arguably the best female to come out of Marion. Limit Up’s full sisters continue to hang purple, most recently Whitney Swaim’s many time National Champion. With all that in one pedigree, you really can’t be wrong.
