Niobrara Red Angus Annual Bull Sale 2024

Welcome!

Cattlemen & Cattlewomen,

It is with utmost excitement that we welcome your consideration to our 7th Annual Bull Sale. As expected, we have been working hard over the past twenty some months to assemble this offering of exciting Red Angus yearling bulls, and we are truly thankful for the interest you have in our cattle and program. Over the last few years, we have been very fortunate, delivering bulls all over North America; from Canada to Mexico, Montana to Florida. The feedback has been positive and encouraging, and we can’t wait to get this year’s offering out and proving themselves once again.

The genetics represented this year are among the breeds finest; some you’re undoubtedly familiar with, and some you’ve probably never heard of. Breed improvement is altogether our foremost objective. There are certain Red Angus breeders that are so evidently defined in the kind, pedigrees, and EPD’s that make them, them. We certainly respect that. All too often though, you’ll find breeders that become inherently narrow-minded, chasing the certain trends or traits that they feel have the biggest impact on their own, personal bottom-line. However, we’re keeping an open mind to different lines of genetics, ultimately to breed the kind of Red Angus cattle that are the most problem-free, low-maintenance, and profitable for the commercial cow-calf producer. For more information on our long-term direction, take a minute to read the “About Us” section of our catalog.

at the ranch NIOBRARA, NEBRASKA

If we’re being honest with ourselves, the selection of purebred bulls around the United States is vast, overly saturated, and mind-boggling. Every publication, newspaper, or scroll through social media leaves you inundated with bulls for sale. With that recognized, it leaves us with the question, “Why buy our bulls?”

Ultimately, you need a bull that is suited for your environment, and gets your cows settled. Fertility and libido are mandatory.

Secondly, who desires to invest in a bull that breaks down structurally within the first year? Sadly, it happens more often than not, and we feel certain breeders almost enjoy the idea of preconditioning a customer to believe they need to come buy a new bull every single year. With these two most basic criteria for bull selection identified, you are guaranteed to meet both here at Niobrara Red Angus. Check out, “Why Buy a Bull From Niobrara Red Angus?” in the catalog to have a better understanding of why we feel our cattle can best benefit you.

Red Angus cattle are our passion. We have challenged ourselves to breed and raise the most complete, profit-driving Red Angus cattle in the breed. Are EPDs solely how we improve our next calf crop?

No. Are we aiming to disregard all of that, improving the cattle exclusively by what we see visually? No. Our goal is to focus on breed improvement by utilizing everything possible, while sticking to what we feel are the commercial cattlemen’s most basic requirements: fertility, longevity, and profitability.

We wholeheartedly appreciate your consideration of the bulls we have on offer. Feel free to contact us at any time. We love talking about Red Angus cattle.

Our Story

Jeff Tami Keller, OWNERS OF NIOBRARA RED ANGUS, grew up in Niobrara, Nebraska. After college and law school and establishing residence in Lincoln, NE, the Keller’s knew they wanted a connection back to their roots; also wanting their three boys Sam, Jack and Ben to have a chance to be involved in agriculture. Thus, Niobrara Red Angus was established. Although they are not on-farm most business days, the effort and team they have developed, they feel is second to none.

Meg Penrod, OFFICE MANAGER, is a lifelong resident of Lincoln, Nebraska. Meg received her BFA from the University of Nebraska – Lincoln and spent 12 years working in interior design. In 2019, Meg and her husband, Tanner, adopted their oldest daughter, Sloan, and two years later, they had a welcomed surprise when their second daughter Scarlett came along! Meg has spent the last several years at home raising their girls, but her love for working with people and passion for animals drew her to work for Niobrara Red Angus.

Jacob Bathke, RANCH MANAGER, resides and oversees Niobrara Red Angus with his wife, Madison. He manages and oversees the daily operations of the ranch and is responsible for the wellbeing of the cattle. Jacob graduated college with a degree in agronomy, but he couldn’t leave his passion for cattle behind.

Jacob is grateful for the opportunity to work with the Keller Family and their high-quality cattle. Even though most of his days are spent with cattle, he says what he loves most about his job are the people. He would also like to acknowledge and thank his family and friends who help him throughout the year.

Garrett Knebel, MARKETING MANAGER, resides in Bozeman, MT. There he owns and operates Harmony Hill, a progressive Red Angus operation focused on seedstock for the commercial cow-calf operator. With a degree from Oklahoma State University, Garrett’s main responsibilities for Niobrara Red Angus include marketing, consulting, breeding, and seedstock selection. In his spare time, he travels the country visiting with fellow Red Angus breeders and judging livestock shows.

Why Buy A Bull From Niobrara Red Angus?

THE MOST PROGRESSIVE GENETICS In developing our core to breed from, we have made it a priority to visit and visually appraise an alarming number of Red Angus breeders across the country. In those visits, we identified certain lines and kinds of Red Angus cattle that we felt check the most boxes; sticking to what we feel provide the most fertility, longevity, and profitability in the beef business. Feel confident in knowing that you have available in front of you, yearling bulls that are the direct progeny of some of the breed’s most elite seedstock in North America.

VOLUME DISCOUNTS 3-5 BULLS We’ll take off 5% Purchase Price at settlement.

6 OR MORE, MAKE IT 10% We’ll take off 10% Purchase Price at settlement.

BULL DEVELOPMENT After a few years of developing the bulls at grow yards, we were thrilled to have the opportunity to develop the bulls at home in Niobrara, Nebraska. We find absolutely no value in pushing a bull too hard on concentrates, just to witness his ultimate performance capability. These bulls need to last years for our customers and keeping them lean and athletic is very important to us. All that extra fat only breaks ‘em down, ruins their feet, and makes them less effective upon turn out. Feel confident in knowing these bulls will be genuine in their shape and ready to work.

INSURANCE/FIRST BREEDING SEASON GUARANTEE Please reference the Martin Trudeau Insurance insert, outlining the Livestock Insurance options available for purchase on sale day.

All bulls will have passed a breeding soundness exam, prior to sale day. We offer to share the insurance premium to purchase Bull Mortality & ASD Infertility insurance through Martin Trudeau Insurance of Mitchell, SD. The seller will pay the first 5% of the purchase price of the insurance premium on whichever policy the seller wishes to receive. A representative of Martin Trudeau will be available sale day. If the buyer declines this coverage, he/she assumes full risk for the bull. We would suggest that normal care still needs to be exercised toward these animals and particularly yearling bulls to maintain adequate body condition.

Pricing will be charged based on your physical address. All deliveries will be organized to central points within the state.

Delivery will NOT be organized to your home or ranch. You are expected to meet the NIO truck driver at the central drop-off point as communicated by them.

International purchases are sold FOB Niobrara Red Angus. We will assist to complete testing and arrange for shipping. But all costs incurred to import/export as well as freight shall be the responsibility of the buyer. Please call for details.

If you are not ready to receive your animals when we plan to deliver to your area, or it is after April 1st, feeding arrangements are available for a charge of $3.50 per day, per animal. Please coordinate these feeding arrangements after the sale.

$100 REBATE FOR “WEEK OF PICK-UP”

We will be offering a $100 per head Rebate for customers who arrange to pick up their bulls at the Ranch within one week of the sale.

Philosophy Vision AND

In the simplest of description, our long-term goal is to bridge the divide in the Red Angus breed between correctly structured “phenotype” cattle with a disadvantage in the availability of genetic data and information, with the stereotypical U.S. Red Angus cow; genetic history and contemporaries of plenty, with a compromised foot structure that has simply been overlooked for far too many years.

In our extensive travels, we have seen herds of all different shapes and sizes, priorities and unimportance’s, trends and age-old beliefs. Many, not all, of the cattle that appear to be the most elite in the Red Angus database based off of EPD’s, are in actuality some of the poorest footed, worst structured cattle in the breed that have compromised longevity. We are led to believe it’s because decisions have been made in a swivel chair, and not in the middle of their cowherd. Breeders that have mated cows based on the Planned Mating calculator on the Red Angus website have looked past the visual appraisals that HAVE to take place. Top 1% doesn’t mean guaranteed to breed for 5 years. More times than not, their feet are genetically debilitating and you find them shuffling in when the cow herd is gathered in the fall because their toes have grown crossed and they’re in pain.

On the opposite end of the spectrum, we’ve found cattle that prove their longevity. Feet are not trimmed, cows live through their entire productive life and actually make you a greater return on that initial investment. BUT, if you were to look at their EPD’s on paper, you may find yourself saying, “Why would I breed to this cow-killing, nanny-goat performing creature with the marbling of a Belgian Blue?” In reality, these cattle calve, perform, and grade equal to or even better

8

than the data-focused cattle that clearly display a strong advantage in their genetic profile. Our thought is, why would I buy a bull perceived to be in the Top 1% for the Herdbuilder Index, when his toes are mal-shaped and I’m going to have to worry about him breeding enough cows to keep me in business?!

In closing, our goal is the crossover of these distinct sectors of the breed. Our cattle may never be Top 1% for a certain trait, but if they prove to have longevity and sire calves that guarantee the buyer gets a solid return on his investment, then that’s when we know we are headed down the correct path.

We are following that path now; identifying and utilizing certain bulls or cows that we know provide enough problemfree longevity and profitability for a solid ROI. However, it takes time; lots of time to identify those individuals. And it’s our goal here at Niobrara Red Angus to be able to offer that kind to you.

Cattle producers sell their feeder and slaughter cattle based on what they actually weigh on a scale. When investing in seedstock, it is important to be provided with actual performance data rather than only computer-generated projections that change weekly, can fluctuate dramatically and are only as relevant as the accuracy values behind them. EPDs are a selection tool but alone do not create great cattle. Real breeding progress requires breeding beyond the numbers for real-world production traits. Selections and matings based on feet, udders, fertility, and pounds; that has created consistency, progress, and lessened the cost of mistakes.

REFERENCE SIRE

H/H Adventure 0054

Sire of Lots1-11

In a short period of time, H/H Adventure 0054 has proven himself to be a reliable herd bull that consistently injects raw muscle shape, a proud, confident presence, solid, well-shapen hoof quality, with the skull shape of genuine Angus character. Without sacrificing structural quality or a modern, efficient kind, Adventure covers the fundamentals while supplying a few traits that you can consistently expect to see in his offspring. His mother, Rojas Moonbeam 7102, is a direct daughter of U2 Moonbeam 194, of which the maternal dominance and progressive phenotype runs strong. Among the most eye-catching donor cows in Bozeman, Montana, her real-world value lies in her immaculate feet, picture perfect, refined bag, with a commanding substance of mass and density. Nearly 100% Canadian in his lineage, Adventure reflects that lack of record in his genetic profile. However, real-world, cow-calf setting experience tells us that this bull offers as much production and longevity with respect to building and maintaining a cowherd, as any bull we have used.

NIO Sitka 3255 is one of the most phenotypically thrilling, strongest, most ideal Red Angus bulls to ever be born into the NIO Red Angus program. From every angle, this bull is exciting when envisioning the progeny potential that is soon to be realized.

U2 Beauty 113Z is the most recognized female in the Red Angus breed. To start the offering, we offer 6 extremely uniform full siblings from 113Z that clearly show her value. With her sons now in production among several different Red Angus herds in the United States, it’s awe-inspiring to see her phenotype transfer into her grand progeny. Stout, square, bold, dark red, neat headed and sound, she’s translating this into all her decedents nearly every time. If you’re in the market for a phenotypically dominant herd bull, backed by a few of the breed’s best cows, I don’t know that you’ll find another bull like “Sitka” in 2024. Get ready for one wildly exciting set of calves.

Now into the natural calves by H/H Adventure 0054, NIO Pacino nio nova 1095 3065 is one of my personal favorites in the entire offering. Within Maternal Brother to Lot 7 minutes, this dark red Mack truck will have you wondering what he is. With the same character, presence, and jam-packed muscle dimension we’ve come to expect from Adventure, I see Pacino being a household name. When you can find cattle that are still built for calving ease, yet have the body type, stretch, and shape you envision in a pen of identical fat cattle, you know you’re headed in the right direction. His dam, 608C, is an incredibly consistent cow that gives a premium calf every year; nearly always marked like this one. In our line of work, all we do is manage risk, every single day. I’m always drawn to the cattle that have proven consistency; that replicate a certain kind every time. You can’t put a price on your peace of mind.

C-T REPUTATION 0094

Sire of Lots 12-25

Three years in, and I couldn’t possibly be more thankful and excited to have partnered with Overmiller Red Angus & Feddes/C-T on what I consider to be one of the most widely appreciated Red Angus bulls in recent years. Unusually dark hided for a Red Angus bull, Reputation is ripped up with a muscular outline, and a crest and presence that I associate with most masculine, fertile kind. Upon closer study, his feet are truly immaculate. He reaches off both ends with incredible athleticism, coming and going with an honest, opened-up width and density. A Red Rock son, known for calving ease, he also charted into the top percentiles for performance and growth. With a problem free, positive experience for the females, we’ve been extremely complimentary of the Reputation sire groups over the last two years. Balanced in his carcass figures, and then recognizing the immortal C-T Linsey 0964 was his grandmother, Reputation checks all the boxes.

One of the most exciting future herd bulls in this year’s offering is NIO Integrity 3076. Step into the pen, and in no time, you’ll spot him. The bull’s head, presence, proud stance, and wide-bodied construction pull you into evaluating him within moments. The Reputation sire group has proven to not only offer practical calving ease, but folks, these critters GROW! Both last year and this year, these bulls have proven to be the performance standouts. If we ran a herd of commercial cows, I’d have a battery of these acquired in no time. Having calved the first daughters now, we’re over the moon excited about their udder quality and mothering instinct. “Integrity” boasts a big time spread from -1.8 to 133. With stayability and carcass quality in check, we feel NIO Integrity 3076 would be a phenomenal addition to any firm’s line up. Pounds pay folks! Moving your heifer bulls onto your mature cows, just because they’ve gotten too heavy, is robbing your calf crop of way too many profitable pounds.

In my opinion, NIO Merit 3131, is one of the most complete, fault free bulls in the entire offering. His look and presence are undeniable.

Nearly flawless in his build, Merit floats around the pen with an ultra-confident look. A bull that offers a very practical spread on paper, I believe his combination of phenotype and genotype is among the very best in the entire line up. Backed by an extremely maternal Warcraft daughter from the Lakoto 35W donor cow, you can expect a dominant amount of maternal performance from his daughters. It won’t take you long to find NIO Merit 3131 on sale day.

NIO Distraction 3187 is next-level good. Not only is he incredibly intriguing from a phenotype standpoint, but he’s out of one of the best cows in the breed, Hidee Ho 459D, the mother of U2 Dominion. In 2022, we sold “NIO Bad Medicine 1126” to U2 & Sunberry Valley up in Canada. NIO Distraction 3187 is a full Full Brother to Lot 46 brother to Bad Medicine. Bad Medicine’s first calf crop follows right behind Lot 46, and we’re extremely impressed with them from top to bottom. But all that said, I think we’ve stepped into a different speed here with “Distraction”. You’ve got to find this bull and study him to really appreciate him; he’s awfully hard to fault and does some wild things you don’t see many other Red Angus bulls do. We plan to sample this bull hard and would love a partner to keep his influence exclusive.

Following right up is NIO Bad Medicine 1126’s first calf crop here at Niobrara Red Angus, and we feel the bull knocked it out of the park here with “Steel Panther”; an absolute stud from every angle.

Sire of Lots 47-55 Here’s a power and performance bull that we feel could enter the semen trade in quick fashion. The heaviest at weaning by some margin, Steel Panther sits at Top 5% WW and Top 5 % YW. Out of a beautiful John Wick daughter, you can see the incredible phenotype from nose to tail. Massive, dense, big boned, sound, extended and extremely loose and pliable in his build, here’s a Red Angus bull that a lot of folks can find value in.

We’re looking forward to sampling this bull in herd as well.

A dark red, smooth built bull with a cow known for calving ease on his bottom side. Stretchy, sound, and athletic, I believe this bull could be sampled on both cows and heifers.

I believe NIO Opportunity 3270 will prove to be one of the most appreciated, indemand bulls that we sell in the next five years. I told Jake when he walked into the picture pen, I think this one’s better than his daddy. Of all the cows we’ve imported from Canada, Dynamo 35B is my favorite. We’ve not had the load of ETs from her that we’ve seen from some of the other donors, but the ones we have had have been outstanding. A maternal brother to NIO Start Up 1294 that works for DK Red Angus & NIO The Factor 1293 that works for Beitia Livestock, Dynamo 35B cranks out herd bull after herd bull. Opportunity’s full sisters that run in the replacement are, in my opinion, are some of the best yearling heifers we have. If you’re looking for a bull to take phenotype to the next level, you’ve got to see Opportunity. So incredibly hard to put a hole in.

This full-brother to Opportunity is another top prospect with added depth of side and moderation.

six mile gloria 195b

Dam of Lot 65 One of the most exciting, outcross, Red Angus bulls in this year’s offering is NIO Northern Wind 3287. This son of Six Mile Gentry 342G, goes back to “Coming In Hot”, a bull that’s proven himself in a short period of time, utilized heavily in Canada. Northern Wind’s dam, Six Mile Gloria 195B, was one of the original cows we acquired from Six Mile Ranch in Saskatchewan. She’s since passed on, but arguably her most exciting bull ever produced hits this year’s sale at Niobrara Red Angus. Moreover, I’ve had folks already asking about, “Which bulls stand out this year?” My response has been that the offering is so ridiculously deep this year, with uniformity unlike we’ve ever had, that even the best the 8 to 10 bulls kind of blend in this year. With an Adjusted Weaning Weight of 825 pounds, Northern Wind is sound as a cat, wide bodied, relaxed in his skeleton, and very square built. We can always count on 195B to inject the look and balance, and she did it again here with Northern Wind. We’re very excited to utilize this bull in herd.

With an Adjusted Weaning Weight of 832 pounds, some would advocate that this may the best son on offer in this year’s sale.

NIO Vigilante 3157 is the first son of offer from an acquisition we made from Milk Creek Red Angus a few years back. With a BW Ratio of 83, this bull ranks in the Top 2% for CED and Top 5% for BW. In the Top 15% for Herdbuilder, we love the moderate, efficient BW Ratio of 83 Top 2% CED + Top 5% BW kind that our Vigilantes are showing. Big ribbed, dark red, stout and burly, if you’re in the market for a heifer bull candidate, I’d recommend this guy all day long.

A black-hided option on the same mating, here’s a massive, dense, stout constructed son of President 60H. With a -2.3 on birth, this bull should allow for problem free calving with outcross genetics to aid in added pounds at weaning.

With a BW Ratio of 98, this President 60H son out of a beautiful John Wick x 13X cow will offer additional calving ease with an outcross pedigree. Powerful, muscular, big topped and bold, I’d turn out a group of these kind every time.
