Angus Sires

AAA #: 19311762

After the Black Hills Stock Show in 2019 we ventured just outside of town to view the Grandview Angus offering. We were struck hard by Lot 6 - DL Dually 828. This Dually son has done everything we've hoped by adding extra length to our cattle while not sacrificing look, thickness, or depth of body. Shortly after the sale we learned that his father had an early death, making this purchase even more valuable.

After accumulating many miles evaluating cattle from reputable operations, we are excited to introduce S Thrive JAS 5515 as our selection from the 2016 Spickler Ranch production sale. Much excitement surrounded “Thrive” and we are fortunate to have his influence embedded in our cow herd. “Thrive” is an extremely gentle, performance-oriented Angus bull who is suitable for use on heifers. What could be more exciting is his maternal lineage as he descends from five generations of good uddered cows in conjunction with four Pathfinder dams close in his pedigree. His outstanding dam is indicating her intent to carry on this rich tradition. Owned with Spickler Ranch North.

After our bull sale in March of 2014, Ian headed back to his internship in Montana and made a stop at Gartner-Denowh Angus Ranch on the way and sent a message saying he had found our next herd bull. Zac sorted through the bulls the following week and without previously comparing notes, both agreed there was one bull we needed to buy – Lot 12. We felt “377” was a standout individual for his impeccable structure, skeletal width and he combined this power with eye appeal and a balanced set of EPD’s that fit the direction we wanted to take our Angus program. We weren’t the only ones to find him that day as the gavel dropped at $17,000! His progeny come easy and are vigorous at birth. Sons have topped our sale in 2016 and 2017 and daughters are moderate-framed, easy doing females.

Revelation is a different kind of beast. When we found him at Bichler Simmentals, it was as if our checklist for criteria to meet was complete. We find his kind to be rare, especially as a purebred Simmental: flexible, tremendous rib design, moderate in his frame and muscular. Combine these physical attributes with an uncommonly attractive phenotype and we have a special individual. Yet more impressive is his mother who is writing her own legacy in the Simmental breed. Adding her influence to our genetic battery was a no-brainer. When you compile these factors with his outcross pedigree and breed-leading EPDs, the opportunities are truly limitless and we are confident he will elevate our program to a new level.

We needed an athlete to cover the rugged coulee pasture we run our Simmental-influenced cows in. With multiple calf crops now weaned, we know we drafted the right bull for our operation. Before the sale, Lacey Robinson described him as a “powered-up Angus” which is exactly our goal with the Simmental side of our operation. What made us even more excited was learning about his impressive donor dam and hearing astute cattlemen tell us they were very impressed with the females out of his flush! His daughters possess balanced EPDS and have a maternal look as they prepare to calve in 2018. In addition, his sons have been well-received on sale day.
