SALE IS ONLINE WITH DLMS FARMGATE

Pictured here is HF Hi-Country 7L alongside his mother last fall. He is one of the most talked about bulls this spring that topped the record breaking Hamilton Farms spring sale at $185,000 to Strongbow Farms, Peak Dot Ranch and River Valley Cattle Co.

Ponderosa, the bull that is on the radar of the Angus World and already has begun to write his own chapter in Angus History. He started as the popular high selling bull out of the 2023 Schiefelbein Farms Bull Sale where he was regarded as the thickest Angus Bull in existence. He went on to set new records every time his semen sells and the demand and momentum continued on with Ponderosa embryos selling for $3750 per embryo in past sales.

Never before has there been a time or a push in History to get back to good functional, deep- bodied, correct cattle. Ponderosa is leading the charge with his mass, performance and fleshing ability while adding style and balance.

If you are looking for that special bull to breed your best donors to or if you have a pen of outstanding replacement heifers to breed, consider Ponderosa as he will add not only quality but also add $ value to every future mating.

He also ranks right near the top for heifer pregnancy rate, milk, hoof claw and docility EPDs. All very important traits.

Blackbird Blackbird

When we toured Montana Ranch this Fall, the combination of 8105’s beautiful phenotype and impressive production record struck us hard, and we knew on the drive home that our ownership of her would be our top priority. Within four years, Blackbird has had 7 calves sell through the Montana Ranch sales, averaging $20,000 per head. She is backed by a gorgeous dam who came highly recommended, with her own storied history of production and success behind her. Natural Law has established himself as one of the most successful Angus sires to date, with semen becoming increasinly hard to find. We feel 8105 and Natural Law will make the ultimate cross, garnering and exceptional EPD package and great look to put you on the forefront of the entire breed. Alpine was the $118,000 talk of Agribition as he sold to Elk Ridge Farms, and amassing the largest crowd around a stall as we have perhaps ever seen at Agribition. The pedigree, shape, dimension and solid numbers of Alpine make him one of the hottest up and comers in the breed.

Keystone Keystone

Keystone sold in the spring of 2021 for $34,000 to a partnership between Brent Charolais and Legacy Ranch Charolais. He is quickly becoming one of the most used sires in the breed due to his tandem of performance and carcass merit coupled with an elite phenotype. His EPD tabulation is rivaled by few, and combined with a 76 lb BW to ratio 93 is extremely impressive. We strongly believe that Keystone will outlast many sires simply because he is able to add real world performance, phenotypic quality, and impeccable structure.
