WILD TYPE RANCH HERD LIQUIDATION

Tough times make for tough decisions.  We've decided we need to liquidate our pastured beef herd.  We've got several generations of selection, and most of these cattle are like old friends.  This was our business, not our hobby, so they are designed to be profitable.

I AM willing to sell some individually; many of these are at the top of the Red or Black Angus breed for marbling and muscling.  I have full pedigrees, ultrasound, tenderness and production data available, if needed.

In the interest of economic viability and land stewardship, the drought has forced us to conclude that we need to liquidate the herd upon which our pastured beef business is based.  

These cattle have been selected from the very beginning for this purpose.  Our criteria have been product quality (marbling and tenderness) produced economically in our environment.  These cows are the ones who've made it through 2 other herd downswings, so they are the efficient producers with great dispositions.   

34 cows $1100 each if purchased as a herd Most have been palpated safe; option to palpate remaining and remove open females.  $1300 per head if 12 or more are purchased.

Shilo’s first calf crop was remarkable for calving, docility and confirmation. 

Shilo exels in muscling (top 1%), stayability (top 6%), fertility (top 5%), marbling (top 13%) and is in the top 25% for growth and birth weight.  He will sire calves that grade well and fertile, long-lived replacement females.
