This is a home raised bull that caught our eyes in the pen, and we couldn’t take our eyes of him, so we kept him back to use in our program. Warrior is a son of Billy the Kid, and he is the total package - muscle, length, hair with that added performance. Sons of Warrior would be a great addition to any program!

In 2023 we acquired Cycnus. He is a bull from the DeBruycker Charolais program in Montana. We went through their pen, and this is the bull we felt would add lots to our program. He incorporates performance with some calving ease. He is a smooth made bull with the length and muscle that you want to stamp your calves with in the fall.

When we set out looking for a herdsire in 2020, we were immediately drawn to HTA Billy the Kid. His length of body, natural muscle combined with some extreme maternal strength led us to believe that Billy the Kid was a home run for our program. The Billy the Kid sons ofered refect the hair, performance, good footed and natural muscling that we look for. To top it of, their quiet and calm demeanor is a bonus!

In 2023 we were fortunate enough to get ahold of this bull from McLeod Livestock, and he is everything that we wanted him to be. He sure puts his stamp on his calves with performance, length, hair, depth and more. We know what this bull has done for our program and would love to see his sons do the same for you!
