“When Trey and Dayna Wasserburger of T/D ANGUS at Rishel Ranch make breeding decisions, they revolve around the mantra ‘Most of the Best.’ Doc Ryan is the epitome of that. There’s never been a beast this good to come out of this breeding program! The story of Doc Ryan began eight generations ago with Tiffany of BR. Born in 1982, with the beauty of a fine gem, she became the foundation matron of all Ruby of Tiffanys in the Angus breed. Seven Ruby of Tiffanys later, an amazing two-year-old, T/D Ruby of Tiffany 824, produced THE BULL of a generation.” ~ Bill Rishel, Master Angus Breeder
+126

Our $525,000 Doc Ryan was the top-selling and record-setting bull of the 2021 T/D Angus sale. He has a time-tested and proven cow family behind him, an impeccable phenotype accentuated by incredible internal dimension, classic structural soundness, and superior performance. He is proving to be an amazing sire with an average progeny weaning ratio of 102; a yearling ratio of 104; an IMF ratio of 103; and a RE ratio of 102. Not only is Doc Ryan an outlier for phenotype and structure, but he also has elite EPDs. He ranks in the top 2% of Current sires for WW, CW, and $F; and in the top 3% for YW, $W, $B, and $C. Don’t overlook the fact he has great Marb and RE figures as well, with rankings in the top 10% and 15%.

As told by Bill Rishel
Gen One
Gen Four
Tiffany BR
B/R Ruby of Tiffany 3156
The year was 1982, and a stunning heifer calf was born February 4th that struck us as being quite special in the way of a quality gemstone. So, we named her Tiffany BR. She became the foundation matron of the B/R Ruby of Tiffanys, one of the most impactful cow families of the Angus breed. It was about this time that I realized, using the “hottest” bull of the breed was not a breeding program, and having a goal of producing the “next great one” with no plan was a long-shot at best.
This is a good time to mention that when we worked at “reducing the scrap pile,” bulls like “New Frontier” showed up at the top of their calf crops just like cream separating from the milk. They became more of the norm for us. B/R Ruby of Tiffany 3156 still posts a heifer pregnancy EPD of +13.1 (top 35%) and a marbling EPD of +.97 (top 15%).
Gen Two
Gen Five
B/R Ruby of Tiffany
B/R Ruby of Tiffany 8496
I was trained to believe in the value of great females in a pedigree, and it occurred to me that our goal should be to see “how small we could make the scrap pile” in each year’s calf crop. So, with that in mind, we mated Tiffany BR to AAR New Trend. The result was B/R Ruby of Tiffany, a female that, to this day, would represent the phenotype that I would want every cow in my herd to have. It was about this time that we embarked on identifying carcass merit in our program. The value of that effort would not be fully appreciated by the industry for another 10-15 years. We were committed to seeking carcass genetics without compromising fertility, structural correctness, and functional traits.
The next female in line is a daughter of B/R 65R Genesis, B/R Ruby of Tiffany 8496, the great-grandmother of Doc Ryan. She posts a marbling EPD of +1.38 (top 3%).
Gen Six
B/R Ruby of Tiffany 688
That brings us to the grandmother of Doc Ryan, B/R Ruby of Tiffany 688, and she posts a heifer pregnancy EPD of +17.3 (top 5%) and a marbling EPD of +1.37 (top 3%).
Gen Three
Gen Seven
B/R Ruby of Tiffany 4117
T/D Ruby of Tiffany 824
The third cow in Doc Ryan’s lineage was B/R Ruby of Tiffany 4117, born in 1994. She still posts a heifer pregnancy EPD of +13 (top 35%) and a marbling EPD of +.71 (top 35%). Longevity matters, and this female was mated at eight years of age to B/R New Frontier 095, the top-selling bull in the 2001 Rishel Angus sale, producing B/R Ruby of Tiffany 3156.
The female that is the seventh generation of this story is T/D Ruby of Tiffany 824, who, as a two-year-old female, produced the eighth generation Doc Ryan, the highest-selling and one of the most remarkable individuals in the storied history of the Rishel program. She records a heifer pregnancy EPD of +14.4 (top 25%) and a marbling EPD of +1.35 (top 3%).

Ed says, “This is an outstanding bull!” We proudly utilized this mature bull as a natural service sire in our fall herd last year. We used him due to his Lucy family maternal lineage. He stands out as one of the most maternally excellent sires in our entire offering, descending from the revered Whispering Pines Lucy lineage tracing back to 178E. His great granddam is one of only two daughters of the legendary “004” and “Lucy 178E.” He has maternal excellence! He currently ranks in the top 3% for $W, 10% for $C, and 15% for $M and $G of Non-Parent sires. His individual performance, combined with his impressive maternal pedigree and age advantage, make him the perfect choice to pair with a large group of cows, ensuring the production of top-tier heifers and steers that dominate the market. This exceptional bull has excelled for us, and we have full confidence in his abilities.

Ranking in the top 2% of Non-Parent sires for Angle and in the top 3% for Claw, Herbster Alvo 494 also ranks in the top 15% for $M, $W, $G, and $C.

His dam, from another cornerstone cow family at Herbster Angus Farms, is an Emblynette that descends from the same maternal line that created one of our senior resident herd sires, International. His great granddam, SAV Emblynette 6572, is a full sister “in blood” to the dam of International. She currently, at the age of 19, still serves as a donor cow in our program. She has 13BW@100, 13WW@101, 13YW101, and 18%IMF@100. Being flushed throughout her life, she still kept a 414-day calving interval until the age of 15. She had her recent natural calf at the young age of 16 before going to the donor pen full time. The fertility and longevity of this cow line is “the good stuff” cow herds are built upon.

With a 72-pound actual birth weight, Herbster Gandy 479’s dam is a full sister to Southern Charm. Combining two of the most maternal cow families in our program in the Lady family and the Erica family, this young bull is royally bred. He ranks in the top 5% of Non-Parent sires for RE EPD. The daughters retained out of him should have amazing udders and have a ton of maternal ability.
Lot 17 had the highest adjusted ultrasound IMF scan at 8.90. The “2128” calves all scanned well and his progeny will inject much-needed carcass genetics into their progeny. Herbster Doc Eric 4100 is long sided and powerfully built. With a CED of +8, a birth weight of 76 pounds, and a BW EPD of +1.8, he should be heifer friendly. Posting an incredible 113 for his weaning ratio, he also ranks high genomically for WW. Structurally superior in his skeleton, he also has an Angle and Claw EPD in higher percentiles. Lot 17 is a calving ease specialist with added pounds and marbling characteristics that stands on a big, correct foot. Backed by the same cow family that produced Southern Charm, he will be in it for the long haul.

Poss Maverick Birth Date: 02/05/17
When we heard of the opportunity to purchase Maverick and bring him back to Nebraska from Belvin Angus in Canada, we couldn’t say, “YES!” fast enough! It’s always nice to buy a proven, mature bull who adds so many desirable traits to your herd! His unbelievable phenotype and his breed leading EPDs are just what our cow herd and many of our customers’ herds need. He ranks in the top 10% of Current Sires for $C, the top 3% for Marb and $G, and the top 5% for $B. Maverick is a staple of the industry for siring performance within his elite phenotype, while also continuing to be one of the top marbling sires of the Angus breed. Danny Poss, the breeder of Maverick, said, “The level of consistency with Maverick that we have appreciated for the last couple of years is still being carried on today. We are now beginning to see it within his daughters. At Poss Angus, we are excited to see the excellent maternal influence Maverick will have on the breed with the neat udders and easy fleshing his daughters possess.” In addition to his marbling and performance excellence, Maverick is also a Pathfinder® Sire. He currently has 25 daughters that have qualified as Pathfinder® Dams. Maverick is being collected at the same 40 million count as all other Herbster Angus Farms semen at North American Breeders. Please call and order today. Semen is readily available.
