PHG Sale Spotlight - Lot 12 - PHG Nodak N572 ET - 81.6% Gelbvieh

Where do we start on this stud? His dam is our lead donor - CRAN Faye F822 - otherwise known as the dam of the $31k PHG Hamilton H10. Faye is currently running a 104 weaning ratio over 10 calves. Emerson selected her natural calf as his show heifer this year, and a full sister to Lot 12 is a standout in the replacement pen. Gunner needs little introduction at this point, becoming one of the leading red sires in the breed to make maternal oriented females that still have the necessary carcass traits.

Now take a look at this guy - Wow! Deep, Long, Wide, and standing on excellent substance of bone - he’s quite the specimen. I truly feel like Nodak is a bull that’s going to make a mark on the Gelbvieh breed. I think you’ll agree when you see him on sale day! SELLING FULL POSSESSION & 1/2 SEMEN INTEREST

Join us Feb 14th, 2026 as we sell 65 of the best Purebred, Balancer, and Red Angus bulls to date!
