For Sale                      

Our cattle are all age/source verified, natural fed, and meet or exceed gain, maternal, carcass grade, and handling targets. It costs too much today to feed poor cattle. We do offer creep to our calves but expect our cattle to "do it on their own" and do not power feed! If your looking for Big, overfed cattle - you won't find them here. Our calves are developed on a soybean hull and hay ration to keep them foraged based. All yearling Bulls are semen tested and all animals go through an extensive vaccination program and are conditioned prior to weaning. Those who don't make it are culled.
"What's for sale?" - I guess that everything is for sale for the right price. We would like to think that any of our animals that makes the grade are good enough to go to the show ring, be a donor or herd bull, and be a productive individual. We are a small operation, compared to many, that emphasizes quality not quantity and have stock for sale year round.
For those of you who would like to start into the Braunvieh breed might I suggest that the easiest and cheapest way would be by purchasing embryos and transferring them into you present dams or commercial dams to hold down costs while acquiring top genetics.  We prefer Private Treaty Sales of our stock and we invite you to give us a call @ 765-258-3453 or stop by and see what we have to offer. As a side note if you are a youth wanting to show in 4-H, FFA, or Jr. competition we would really like to talk with you about assisting you in your future prospects and a program that can work for you.

Herd Bull Prospects

No one animal in your herd has more influence to your success than your herd bull. He contributes 50% of the genetic power to all your calves and can this can mean profit or loss. Never be afraid to spend your money in this area - it will put dollars in your pocket!

We use no stock that test positive carriers for recessive gene defects from any breed!! Our entire Angus herd has been tested and are clean for AM.

Calving Ease…     Soundness...    Growth…     Profit…

Our bulls come from great maternal dams. We do not power feed our prospects and  have tried to develop a more moderate framed herd that meet our quality traits - not some "hokas-pokas" advertising and "show-ring pin-ups". We guarantee our bulls to be soundness checked and breeders. Any bull  you buy from us is a bull that we would use ourselves - they will be sires not just multipliers.

Grid is one of our ET mates that has developed into a very nice prospect. I bred him last winter to a couple of our dams, one Fullblood & one Angus. Both have calved now with a 74lb heifer & 78lb bull calf - both very nice. I also bred a neighbors Hereford heifer and she had a 74 lb heifer. He has a very docile personality and will make an excellent herd bull.
Grid would sell with a semen interest.

We are very happy with this In Focus bull. His dam is just excellent and he has an excellent disposition! He has been a little slower maturing than the Braunvieh (which is to be expected) and will make a great sire. We have bred him to couple heifers this spring and he would also sell with a semen interest.

This a full ET brother to Grid Iron and will be an  asset to any herd. He went through a really tough year of poor quality hay and forage to his recip dam but has really came on this winter and had an excellent semen test.

Open/Bred Heifers

We breed and raise Fullblood, Purebred & Percentage Braunvieh as well as Angus, and Braunvieh influenced crosses with other breeds such as Maine.  We are also trying to develop a strain of QUALITY black genetic Braunvieh. All get their complete round of vaccinations, worming, and ready to go. We believe that all heifers should have strong maternal traits and eye appeal. We generally have limited numbers so you need to look at them early to get your pick.
We are currently using a lot of embryo transfer to accelerate the numbers of offspring and also have embryos for sale.

We are currently very limited of any heifers for sale. With the shrinking economy and $7 corn we only retained a few calves and cut our recip dams to very low numbers. These are a sample of some retained heifers this year but would always be willing to talk or consider doing a flush to one of these outstanding heifers.
