Everyone in the Simmental breed knows the quality and impact that Cowboy Cut has brought to the breed. They make great mommas that put power and performance in their calves.

This year, our top fall bull is a full sib to this female. The guess work is done with this one.

28 39th Annual Blue River Gang Sale - Saturday, February 6

This very well could be one of the fanciest bred females we have ever offered. She is out of our matriarch donor, 83W, who is close to exceeding $200,000 in progeny sales and the ever so popular Loaded Up. A full sib brother was the high selling bull in Ohlrichs bull sale a few years back demanding over $10,500. Its hard to make purebreds with this much mass and belly shape all while tying into a beautiful front end. One of the best haired purebreds we have ever worked with. We think this girl is capable of making high end cattle that excel in the showring! She is due 2-17 to Hooks Eagle, no clean-up bull exposure.
