Luke is a calving ease specialist without sacrificing muscle and performance. His progeny have below breed average birth weights, and higher milk and scrotal epds. His daughters have impeccable udders are making nice ranch females. Luke sons have always been well received at our sales and many years they are the high sellers. He is our reliable go to bull for our heifers. Luke is very moderate in stature, stout, and easy fleshing.  He is still used  naturally to breed heifers.

Once in awhile you get a phone call about a bull that rings the bell. Insight is just that bull. I remember getting the phone call from Howard Rambur telling us that we would really like this bull, and in his words he is a ”real stud”. He felt that he was a front pen bull and that we could buy him for a bargain because the bull at the time had a 4.5 BW epd. And sure enough, we did.  After calving the first crop of calves we started using him on heifers with success . Today his Bw epd  is 2.8 which is .1 below breed average. Insight is above breed average for all growth traits, CW, $W $F and $B. His milk epd is quite a bit above breed average, however his daughter do not possess that harsh Holstein look that so many high milk bulls have. In the testical department his scrotal epd is off the charts and his sons have some serious ”junk” under them.  His dam, granddam and great-granddam are all  #Pathfinder dams so he is backed by a solid maternal foundation. One of his most positive attributes is that his progeny have that true Angus character about them, something we feel is being lost in the breed because of too much single trait selection for the fad of the day. Insight progeny have good hair and dispositions and are structurally sound functional cattle. The sons are wide based, hard muscled and athletic. His sons and daughters have his stamp, and will have a positive impact for the industry for years to come.

Summit was one of the featured Apex Stockman sons in our ’04 sale, being the high seller to the Doud Ranch. His dam, 019K, is an Equalizer x 19B combination, arguably the two most maternally influential animals in our herd.019K solid production record has earned her Elite dam status . Summit has become our go to bull for calving ease and cow making ability. You’ll like the hair, length, and smoothness of his sons, but you’ll love the daughters they leave you.

Many quality bulls and females in the country share the same lineage as Visa. Visa has a great foot, flawless structure, and the ability to maintain good flesh through breeding season. At 24 months he boasted a scrotal measurement of 46cm. Visa has an excellent disposition, he’s easy to be around and yet still carries himself like a proud herdbull.  Visa is a prime example of what our breeding program strives for...  no extremes in any one way just  total balance in all ways. His first calves are just arriving this spring and we are extremely excited!

Wheatland El Toro was an easy pick from the Wheatland 2010 Bull Sale thanks to his balance of structural soundness, muscle, body shape and outstanding maternal heritage. El Toro is the son of the herd bull maker Wheatland 680S and out of the stellar 902 cow family that continues to write chapters in the Simmental history book. Here is a perfect example of what generations of strong cow families can do. Thick, hairy, big topped , full of meat and muscle and a proven pedigree that just plain works!
