We consider this bull one of the very best, if not the best bull we have ever raised. I am as critical a bull buyer as there is in the country and there isn’t one single thing I don’t like about this bull. He has perfect phenotype every place you look at him. I don’t like high tailed cattle. I want them square over that tail head and he is. Jeannie loves his perfect built, moderate sized mother as good as any cow we own. L21 was seven years old when we sold her, she brought $7,700 selling to Greg Kroupa of White Lake, SD. She was as pretty a cow as we’ve ever owned. T170 was her last calf that she had and is as pretty as her dam.

Billy the Kid did not disappoint.  This was his first breeding season and he sired a group of calves second to none.  They are big bodied, stout made, and there just isn’t any throw aways in them.  They exhibit a soft made, easy doing look that is popular in everyone’s cow base.  Billy the Kid was a member of Grindstone Creek Farms Pen of Three in Denver 2011.  He has quickly earned a place in our herd sire pen.  You’re going to fall in love with his daughters at this years Focus on the Female.

I had the opportunity to go to the Grass to Grid Sale, before I married John. I fell in love with Hard As Steel before I was real sure I was in love with John! I circled his lot number, put a star next to his name, and wrote love this bull in my footnotes. With a 70# BW, 15.67 REA, and a 40.5 yearling scrotal he was one you could like off of paper but he got better after a visual analysis. He is a female maker that is huge bodied with fleshing ability and style. His first calf crop did not disappoint. Owned with Curt Suehner, and Griswold Cattle Company. His mother has been in ET at Griswolds, she is one of the best cows that they purchased from Tim Ohlde. Hard as Steel cost us $12,000. He sired many high dollar cattle for us this past year.

Whirl of a Dream was the pick of our Simmental bull calves two years ago. He’s big topped, large scrotaled, with bone and great muscle shape. His dam, B75, has been a top producer for us. She raised this calf at 17 years old, he weaned off at 712# with no creep and she was fat when she came home. A wise cattleman once told me if you love the cow, breed one of her sons and you’ll replicate her. There is performance with power in this pedigree. We couldn’t be more excited about his calf crop they are functional, big ribbed, thick made cattle with performance. His bull calves last year averaged higher than any other sire group, averaging over $7,000.

S123 is a beautiful cow with a phenomenal track record. From top to bottom this bull has got all the right parts and pieces to be a top AI sire. Owned with Griswold Cattle Company and John Bourquin.

Long Haul’s dam was the pick of our heifer calf crop in 2007 by Trennophl and Rist of Indiana. Long Haul bred 45 head of cows this spring and held his flesh as well as any bull we have ever used. He was Intermediate Grand Champion bull in Denver 2012. He’s moderate framed, cool made, and his cow family stands second to none. His Granddam produced the $21,000 high seller from last years sale that sold to Jones Show Cattle and Tulle Cattle Co. A maternal sister to his dam produced Sugar Plum, a crowd favorite in our 2009 sale that sold to Wayne and Barb Ohlrichs. Sugar Plum produced a bull calf this year that Wayne and Barb said will be big time. Case in point is this cow family will PRODUCE!

Jet Fleck bull has more thickness, rib depth, muscle and fleshing ability of any Simmental bull I’ve seen.  We have leased him from Tim Ohlde of Palmer KS.  Fleckvies are the German Simmental.  They have more of the above named qualities than many of the other Simmentals.  Arnold Brothers of SD had the largest herd of these cattle in North America.  They dispersed their herd a few years ago and Tim went up there and bought their best cows.  Jet Fleck is out of one of these great Arnold Brothers cows and Jet Stream.  He is a meat wagon. We have great hopes for this bull's calves.

Yardley Sundance did not disappoint in his first calf crop. He was the high selling bull in our 2007 bull sale. 1/2 interest sold to Greg Kroupa, White Lake SD for $6,500. Sundance has grown into a moderate made powerhouse with substance and style to be a breed changer. His calf crop this past year will prove him to be a profitable sire that will see heavy use in our program in the coming years. Owned with Greg Kroupa, White Lake, SD.

Right On is a bull your destined to love.  Everybody loves a baldy, and when they are moderate framed and big topped with plenty of soundness and stretch it’s hard not to admire them.  Right On carries that description.  Built Right has built a legacy of quality cattle and we have always loved our Power Stroke females.  The combination of these two pedigree make this a sure fire bet to sire profitable progeny.  A full brother to the popular AI sire Quota, Right On comes in the same build but with a full baldy face.  Right On will be available for viewing on sale day, we’re sure your going to admire him as much as we do.

Yardley High Regard is powerful the whole way through, but keeps the soft look through his rib and muscle shape.  He’s a big footed stomper that fills in his step, super sound and correct on his front and rear wheels.  He had a 17.1 ribeye area, 3.67 % IMF, and 40 inch scrotal as a yearling.  Zane Yardley has AI’d our cows for over twenty years.  M211 on the bottom side of this pedigree was one of his favorite cows.  Outcross pedigree with power and style make this bull a favorite.  He was the $30,000 high selling bull in our 2010 sale to John Goken and Dale Werning Family.  He was a crowd favorite with many contending bidders.

Dream On is the go to Simmy bull at Yardley Cattle Co.  The females are great mamma cows with nice small teats, feminine made, and broody.  The bulls are masculine, powerful and look like bulls should.  If one word could be used to describe this stellar son of Dream On it would be QUALITY.  This is a stomper with muscle shape, dimension through his rib and power in his lower quarter.  Yardley Titan sold to Lee Cattle Company in our 2010 sale for $15,250.

A complete out-cross to most American pedigrees, North Country brings thickness, big bodied, strong uddered, eye appealing look to the table. Sired by Kodiak and out of Soo Line Annie, Soo Line states North Country is the result mating of the two greatest individuals they have ever owned. Soo Line Annie K was the Champion Female at the World Angus Forum in 2009. She sold for $100,000 and Kodiak sold for $150,000. One of the most exciting aspects of North Country comes from the consistency of his dam to produce high dollar, eye-appealing progeny. The power of a cow family is immeasurable. North Country carries plenty of look and style along with an extra dose of performance, bone, and scrotal development.

I have known and been a friend of Tim Ohlde of Palmer KS, it seems like forever.  The world has beaten a path to his door because he has bred, developed, and selected a line and family of Angus cattle that have MORE FLESHING ABILITY, BETTER UDDERS, MODERATE FRAMES, and MORE DEPTH AND THICKNESS, than any other Angus in the nation.  OCC Rising Sun is a sound structured, pretty fronted, deep ribbed, powerhouse.  We had previously used Jet Stream on our Simmental cows and loved the results.  In a crossbreeding or purebred Angus situation we feel that Rising Sun will be a breed changer.

Apache brave is very well balanced with the right shape and muscle pattern.  We like Apache so well we gave $7,500 for half of him from Lee Cattle Co. He is by the very popular OCC Legend out of a granddaughter of Krugerand 490. Grass fat cattle are what we need to breed. Breeding 30 cows his first year and in a dryer pasture, he was still fat in the fall. He is stylish, correct and impressive.

Royal Jet is the type of bull that defines where we are taking our program.  Soft made cattle that carry performance, thickness, fleshing ability, and style. OCC Jet Stream is now deceased, he stands as one of Ohlde’s greatest herd sires.  Look at the performance this bull carries coupled with a perfect phenotype. This is as good as Angus bull as you will find anyplace.   We used him to clean up all of Angus heifers this past year.  He’s the type of bull that will ad belly, rib, and doablity, without taking pounds away from your bottom line.

Fleshing Ability has been a major Focus at Yardley Cattle Company in our Maine Anjou herd.  Integrity’s mother was 13 this past year and we finally shipped her.  She’s been a cow that milks well and has done a great job with her calves.  Oakie daughters were a signature of quality in our operation.  Integrity boasts an actual 40 inch yearling scrotal.  He’s done great on a set of cows this past year.

Natural fleshing ability is always in style and in the Maine Anjou cow base it’s something that needs to be a focus area.  There is no point to have to feed power into cattle, they should have it naturally, “gutts” shouldn’t come from a bunk.  Fortune is functional, he’s sound, he’s easy fleshing, and he’s cool made, plus he’s more consistent than any Maine Anjou bull we have used in a long time.  As a senior herd sire he’s earned his place with his calf crop.  He’s been viewed and analyzed by the most discriminative cattlemen in the industry and reported as being the most complete Maine Anjou breeding bull they had seen in the pasture, this is after breeding cows for 60 days.
