The ultimate proving grounds… that mountain where they graze has no mercy… definitely sorts the herd builders!

🔥HT Eileen 4189 with her County Line heifer calf...

The ranch has truly turned into a proving ground for cattle genetics to compare actual real-world performance with what the "paper" on the cattle say they can do. This pair will be one to watch this summer... 4189 was born on the ranch, raised and developed, PAP tested, bred, calved, and rasing a little beauty of a heifer calf!

Let’s she what she can do with a WW91 and YW157, $EN-43 and PAP+2.96 in our environment this summer! 💪💪💪

Heterosis and crossbreeding is still one of the most powerful and proven things we can utilize in the industry, and it’s free. There is plenty of good in all breeds of cattle if you keep your eyes open... This South Devon bull is one of them!

Gold Dust caught our eye when he was just 10 months old when we were evaluting bulls for their 2025 sale, and he has continued to impress! He is perfect footed, big topped and moves very well. He has all the pieces to be a herd improver. We really like his conformation, herd sire presence, and once again, the foot quality on this bull is something that is desperatly needed in the cattle industry.
Conventional and Female Sexed Semen is available, and just a phone call away....
