Last year, this bull’s full brother was a sale feature and one of our top sellers demanding $8,500. This flush brother is nearly a carbon copy. He traces back to our proven Wide Range Donor 754, a cow notorious for producing sale toppers in the bull division over the past three years—regardless of the mating. The cross to Affirmed did exactly what we hoped for, adding frame, length of body, massive hip, and a strong front third. He’s a standout on paper as well, ranking in the top 20% for API and the top 15% for TI. Expect calves that come easy, take off early, and lead the way in weaning weights.

If you are looking for a purebred red calving ease bull, I’d put this guy at the top of your list. His Genomically Enhanced EPDs came back and he ranks in the top 1% of the breed for both Calving Ease and Birth Weight. On top of that his MCE is in the top 2%, Marb top 10% an API in the top 4% and TI top 15%. A very complete bull that is sound structured and offers plenty of punch. A full brother topped our 2024 sale demanding $9500. There are a lot of similarities between him and his brother but we believe this guy offers a little bit more power and is better overall phenotypically. Ruth Red Empire L29, $9,500 Full Brother

We are big fans of the Krown cattle. There is good reason not a single daughter of Krown left the place and found their way to the replacement pen. They come easy and just take off and grow. His mother has done an exceptional job for us as well and last year had one of our top open females. A bull that is hard to poke a hole in person or on paper. He boasts a $GN EPD in the top 10% of the breed.
