YCRA FOREIGNER E127 #3758125 Calved: 05-02-2017 • Sire: RED U-2 FOREIGNER 413B
YCRA Foreigner E127 has proven to be without a question the single most influential sire to our program. Not only in the attention his sons have commanded, but more importantly in the daughters entering production and raising the new generation of breeding stock. This offering will be the advent of a dwindling in his direct contributions to the calf crop as we rely just as heavily on natural service breeding as artificial. Following our 2023 sale, Select Sires Argentina purchased the South American semen rights on him, and much of his time is now being spent at bull stud. In addition, we are marketing semen with Mike Marlow at Premium Beef Genetics. They can handle all your needs if you are interested in purchasing semen on a bull that I think the Red Angus breed has been begging for.

RED BAR-E-L AB MAGIC MIKE 189Z #2462763 Calved: 03-18-2012 • Sire: RED TOWAW INDEED 104H
YCRA FOREIGNER FH10 #4424369 Calved: 08-26-2020 • Sire: YCRA FOREIGNER E127
Magic Mike is an elite female maker that has had my attention for over a decade. Not only was his genetic influence hard to acquire monetarily, but also from a standpoint of availability. He combines two the of the undisputed best female makers in North America with Indeed and Red Knight. His dam is one of the best red angus cows to ever live.
Our pick from the 2022 crop of bulls, he is living up to the expectations to be the son to replace YCRA Foreigner E127 in our program. In terms of libido, he matches the old bull’s thirst for covering cows and holding his condition while servicing well over 80 females a year. Although not quite as massive as his sire in terms of his muscle shape, his daughters are out of this world and more refined in their teat size. His Herdbuilder numbers are legit.

DVO A BULL NAMED SUH 179F #4048330 Calved: 08-20-2018 • Sire: RED BAR-E-L FIRST DOWN 161D
The most rugged and heavily constructed Foreigner we have raised to date. He was the high seller in the 2022 sale to Olsen Red Angus at Wiota, IA. His huge potential as a breeding piece was realized shortly after with his unique ability to stamp his sons and daughters with that same kind of dimension and power. We have experienced the same success with him in our program. Semen is available with Olsen’s and will be the best purchase one can make if you need to power up a set of cows in one generation.

This bull caught my attention as the most attractive son of Bar E-L First Down 161D that Tannon Dvorak had raised to date in 2020. While not explicitly needing another resident herdsire at that point, I elected to purchase semen on him from Eric Ravenscroft following the sale. He was the avenue to inject the perpetually unavailable First Down genetics into the program. The cattle are blood red, highly maternal, and full of breed character. We look forward to continuing to plug him in to high value matings.
