Accelerator is extremely deep-bodied, bold-ribbed, and powerful hipped for an Angus bull.

He passes on his beautiful front end to all his offspring. Because he sires 65-78 lb. calves with more power than most Angus bulls, Accelerator is our go-to heifer bull. This bull also adds a ton of value on the maternal end, which is evident by an Accelerator-sired first calf heifer weaning an 840 lb. bull calf in the fall of 2023. As we flip through semen catalogs, we struggle to find bulls that have the balance between calving ease and light birth weights without giving up the power and quality.. We have found by using Accelerator, we don’t have to sacrifice “the look” we like so much in our Simmental cattle in order to achieve light birthweights and calving ease, which made our decision to finally pull the trigger on drawing semen on Accelerator this spring.

We fell in love with the stylish and handsome homozygous black and homozygous polled Handyman; he has all the tools in the toolbox to do the job and to get it done right with his outcross genetics. Handyman has an awesome front end with superior extension that ties into a nice, smooth shoulder, a massive middle, a strong top, an impressive hip and lower quarter, and he moves out with excellent flex in his hocks and pasterns on a big hoof. Handyman is our power bull that adds muscle and volume to his calves while still keeping the frame scores in check for mature size. Every year thus far he has sired one of our top calves. Even though we have only three daughters in production as of 2023, we will have eight more daughters calving in 2024, and we hope they have all the strong maternal qualities.

Yardley Excellence H428, also known as “Herbie” at the ranch, is big topped, massive hipped, and has a big hoof and excellent structural soundness. We purchased this bull in Yardley’s 2021 Bull sale for $14,000. His dam was the only red cow out of 800 head that met the qualifications to make it into the Yardley donor program, which should give you an idea how much they thought of her. Herbie is extremely long-sided and has a great disposition that is passed to his offspring. The females out of Herbie are extremely fancy-fronted, easy fleshing, and have more look than offspring of other red bulls that we have used in our A.I. program. It is really hard to find quality red genetics that keep the PAP scores low, and we have tried using a lot of different red bulls in our program. When we saw Excellence, we knew he checked every box to propel our red program, including his actual 34 PAP, which adds a ton of value to our program as well as yours as a cattleman running at higher elevation. We will have daughters in production this 2024 calving season, and we can already see that they are developing good udders with nice teat structures. We are into our first set of Excellence daughters, they have incredible udders and teat structure.

Because we thought so much of our Clear Vision calves, we were very excited when we came across Clear Decision, a powerful bull with the same genetics. We saw the value in him the minute he walked into the ring and my daughter Ce’rra nudged me. We couldn’t pass up the fact that we could have more Clear Vision genetics. The year that we purchased him, 3 of the top 5 selling bulls were Clear Vision sons, which verified our assumptions in the quality that Clear Vision has produced. Clear Decision has a kind and calm disposition. For a ⅝ blood bull, his sons that we have offered have as much or more power than any purebred bull that we have used.

You hope to hit a home run with your bull purchases, but we hit a GRAND SLAM with Clear Vision. His attractive profile, with a touch of chrome, which he passes to his offspring, is highly sought-after by calf buyers. His females are hands down, his finest attribute; they are moderate, big ribbed, easy fleshing, with big beautiful square udders and small teat structure and are some of the best females that have walked the ranch. From day one, Clear Vision C266 has been a stand-out and a favorite. His blaze face, great neck extension, perfect hair, and curve-bending numbers along with his massive depth, width, and bone, make him a true outlier. Clear Vision is sired by the deceased Shocking Dream, who is also the sire of STCC Long Haul.

His individual numbers include a 36 PAP, an unheard of 19.8 in actual ribeye area, and a scrotal circumference of 40 cm.

We purchased OBCC County O 17XG out of the 2021 Bricktown National Simmental Sale for $12,500 at 100% possession and ⅔ semen interest from Owens Brother from Missouri. County O exemplifies why we are all in the beef business. Here is a bull with a massive body cavity packed with red meat from his shoulder blade through his rear quarter. He has a show ring look but is very flexible and moves out soundly. His dam is a full sister to the breed matriarch Miss Werning KP 8543U who has generated more than $8 million in actual progeny sales and is the highest valued Simmental donor in the business. He is sired by County O owned by Griswold Cattle Company. OBCC County O 17XG has been used heavily in our program and has produced a lot of good calves both male and female. His females have a lot of show ring look which is backed in this bull’s pedigree.
