University of Wyoming - High Altitude Bull Sale [3/28/26]

CONSIGNOR INFORMATION

Hollingsworth Angus is owned and operated by T.J. and Lindsey Hollingsworth and is located north- west of Cheyenne, Wyoming. We run both registered and commercial Angus cattle at approximately 6,700 feet in elevation. We established our registered herd roughly 15 years ago and have consistent- ly used the bulls we raise on our own commercial cows, while also selling a select number of bulls through private treaty. Our commercial herd begins calving in May, with calves sold straight off the cow in early November. In 2025, our commercial steer calves—sired by siblings to these registered bulls that were selected for the UW High Altitude Bull Test were raised entirely on pasture, and aver- aged 594 pounds at shipping. These commercial calves achieved an estimated average daily gain of approximately 3 pounds per day without any supplemental feed or implants. We remain committed to selecting bulls based on real-world performance and functionality rather than “on paper” num- bers alone. This approach continues to produce productive, efficient commercial cattle that buyers return for year after year. The McGuire family acquired the Oxford Ranch in 1992. Management of the ranch passed to the youngest daughter, Kelly in 2014. In 2016, freshly graduated from the University of Wyoming with a degree in Animal Science, Kelly and the family worked to rehabilitate the working facilities, historic barn, and ranch house. Now a showcase of West luxury, the ranch offers long views, comfortable sur- roundings, and a rich history detailed in a book available on Amazon, Meanwhile, Back at the Ranch. Kelly began with 150 head of Angus cows and two full blood Wagyu bulls. Slowly, she built up her own herd from heifers she selected. Eight years later, she has built a herd of 57 mother cows, 40 of which have Wagyu bloodlines. Kelly’s goal is to continue breeding stock that thrives in this rugged environ- ment while producing a phenomenal eating experience on your dinner plate. Nate and Kalyn Walsh, from Meeker Colorado, are working to build their purebred Angus cattle opera- tion alongside their growing family. The core of their operation has Angus genetics tracing back to the 1990’s, carrying the legacy of Bart and Mary Strang, Strang Black Angus, forward. Consistent maternal traits, with an emphasis on udder constitution, calving ease, and longevity remain key focus areas for our herd. Bulls are elevation tested with proven performance at higher altitudes. We are humbled to carry on this legacy to create functional cattle that will perform for generations to come. Azure Valley Black Herefords raises well-socialized Hereford breeding stock focused on structural soundness, longevity, and gentle disposition. A member of the American Hereford Association, the farm maintains detailed pedigrees and follows established herd health protocols with routine testing and veterinary care. Cattle graze rotational pastures for optimal forage diversity, and calves are calmly handled from birth. With sustainable land practices and proactive management, the herd is known for consistent, durable conformation and strong maternal traits. Ben and Hannah Hollinger are located in Laramie, WY where they are building their purebred Hereford operation with their 3 kids from the base herd inherited from Hannah’s grandparents Bart and Mary Strang. Strang Herefords, out of Meeker, Colorado, has built a legacy of elevation tested, hardy, and high performing Hereford genetics for over 60 years. We are honored to carry on those genetics and continue to improve efficiency and offer balanced bulls strong in both maternal and terminal traits. Josh and Cynda Nicklas, along with their children Berklee and Zane, run their Registered Angus cattle operation in Meeker, Colorado. Cattle are turned out in the rugged Piceance Creek Basin for grazing, requiring cattle to travel long distances for forage and water at an elevation up to 8500 feet. We have focused on producing efficient cattle that are able to thrive in high elevations, without overlooking the characteristics required to produce a quality end product.
