Herd & Reference Sires
VGW CARHART 218
RAAA #: 4601169
“Carhart” was our pick in the 2023 Westphal sale. His outstanding phenotype and epd profiles caught our attention and his structural correctness was second to none! Backed by many generations of proven genetics, Carhart has the tools to be a major curve bender in the Red Angus breed.
FEDDES BOURNE C31-9247
RAAA #: 4124430
Bourne C31 comes from the Feddes program in Western Montana. We saw value in him because of his structural correctness, balance of traits, and most importantly his Dam. Blockana Y63-C31. When we were selecting another sire that spring she caught our eye every time, and at that point she was an up and coming 4 year old on the Feddes ranch. She became one of their top (if not top) donor cows and sold for 1/2 share to Niobrara's for $25,000 Spring of 2023. Embryos of hers are very valuable! Her grand progeny show why. Look for the sons out of Bourne C31.

SPR DOUBLE STACKED 2034
RAAA #: 4684185
Here’s another prospect sire that we procured last spring. This one is from Spur M Red Angus and sired by a bull we sold to Doug McGee a few years ago. He’s a high indexing individual that we used on heifers and cows last season. He has a nice profile in both his appearance and his genetic package. Moderate calving ease with performance should be his stamp on his progeny!
HBR Leonidas
RAAA #: 4497427
"Leonidas" was purchased from the Huber EY program here in ND as a calving ease sire. He has done his job and well, as to this day I do not believe we have pulled a calf from him yet. He is used exclusively on heifers, but his calves have shown a great growth curve middle to end of grazing season.
FEDDES 401K 2214
RAAA #: 4631719
Chuck Feddes pointed us in the direction of this Stockmarket son at his place and we were able to get him bought. Backed by the proven performance of his Stockmarket sire as well as the strong maternal lines of the Feddes program, we expect him to make significant impacts in our herd as well as the breed. Ranks in the top 20% or better in 13 epd categories. He looks to be a medium framed, good footed fellow that can be used on heifers and mature cows alike. Look for his progeny in future sales.
SWS 738H 48F PROFIT BUILDER
RAAA #: 4382467
48F Profit Builder at 3 years old
48F Profit Builder was our pick of the pen at Weisbeck's sale. He is super lengthy, full of muscle and bone, and his calves have a lot of leg and growth under them early. He is a bull that outperforms his numbers due to the ineffectiveness of genetics crossing the border from Canada....we all know that old song and dance and unfortunately it has yet to be solved.
