Name 1	Lot#	Sex / Group	Notes
SJRA R863 CORPORAL 222	222	Red Angus Bull	♦A big frame bull with a big hip and strong top. Look at the length from hooks to pins here; that hip is where the most total $$ of retail product comes from. Volume that is supported by the bulls in the pedigree. This is a strong growth cow family. Power growth numbers here, landing him in the top 12% or higher for WW YW & ADG. Retaining 50% semen interest. ♦8005 has all the makings of a really great cow; Ave BW 77#, Ave NR 112, carrying growth on to yearling. This cow posted an 80# BW with a 702 WW. She is a bigger kind of cow; great feminine shape; lots of milk and mothering ability. MGD 0041 has Lot 201; Daughter has Lot 239.
SJRA 934G CAMELOT 237	237	Red Angus Bull	♦This bull and Lot 236 are 7/8 brothers and they look very much alike. Yep, this one has a bit more BW and is a little bigger, but that would be expected from this cow line; just don’t dump him in your heifers. On mature cows, he will be fine and add some value to the calves. He is a really soggy bull; deep, wide, thick and meaty are all great adjectives here; certainly a standout in the group. ♦Here is that ‘Passion’ cow family again. They do pack a punch on the performance side of things. The dam here has breed leading growth numbers; WW 67 / 21%, YW 117 / 9% & ADG 0.31 / 4%. The MGD 5017 does push some BW, but also strong growth. She produced a top selling, high performance bull as a 1st calf heifer; and has had heifer calves since.
SJRA R863 HIGH LIFE 220	220	Red Angus Bull	♦These 863 sired bulls are pretty consistent in the muscle they carry and the fact that most are not overly large framed, given the size of this sire. This one certainly follows the pattern. Good spread from birth to weaning; landing in the top 25% of the herd for WR. ♦7012 Ave WR 109; BW range 71-79#. Her BW 78#, followed up with 111 WR. Eye appeal-ing, dark red cow; great feet and legs; good udder structure. This is 7012’s first bull calf. Prolific cow line with high performance history; typically long, deep ribbed type females. MGD 1005 Ave WR 109 & YR 102. Tied to cow family of Lot 207.
SJRA R863 EASY STREET 205	205	Red Angus Bull	♦If you are looking for a bull to put growth in your calves, give this one a look. The growth genetics are real in this cow line. He is the #1 WR bull. There is frame and length here, as you would expect from a high performance bull. Retaining 50% semen interest. ♦2006 has a calving interval 365 days. Production Averages; BW 111 WR 110 YR 105 IMF 110. The same root cow family as Lots 201 202 & 204; but only 3 generations out from that original cow, BJR 4242. Trust me, there are a lot more of them! These girls have had some staying power! Her dam, 4567 (MPPA 109), is the dam of the Trailblazer bull that sired quite a few cows in our program. The MGGD had MPPA 104.
SJRA R863 FAT CITY 212	212	Red Angus Bull	♦A nice made bull from an super cow line; they come stamped with a certain shape from this cow. You get a meaty type of bull, shaped right up front for calving ease, that carries it all on a moderate frame. Her calves are always a pasture favorite and are becoming customer favorites as well. Good mid-range EPDs pretty much across the board. ♦4006 was born at 72# and her calves have averaged 77#; Ave WR 101; Ave IMF 116. Notable EPDs; HB 82 (13%), CEM 10 (5%), STAY 20 (12%). This cow line is filled with easy fleshing, deep ribbed and hipped, great milking cows. She had the top selling bull in 2022; her 2020 bull went to Iowa. Her daughter has Lot 227.
SJRA R863 PROSPERITY 210	210	Red Angus Bull	♦Oh my, if you like a bull that carries meat and muscle on a medium frame, take a look at my bull. This is the consistent product we expect from this cow and the ‘Passion’ cows in gen-eral. Strong growth EPDs; WW 32%, YW 21%, ADG 12%. Retaining 50% semen interest. ♦4001 is a performance producing female; Ave WR 107; Ave YR 104; Ave REA 107; Ave actual BW 81#. She is the type of cow you would like a pen full of; an easy keeping, high volume cow that milks well and is a fierce mother cow when she calves. Full sister to Dam of Lot 204. She has a loaded pedigree with 4567 cow on top and 2476 cow on the bottom.
SJRA R837 ELIAS 228	228	Red Angus Bull	♦This is a really nice looking bull! He has the look of a cow bull, but with great calving ease EPDs. Put him on some cows and expect a trouble free calving with that CEM at 11 / 3%. This bull has a clean level top and a deep quarter. The genetics are there to make that growth the real deal. ♦8029 birthed at a light 69# and grew to a WR of 107. Her calves have averaged 110 for WR. If you are wondering about those performance genetics...her MGD is 2019, mother of Lot 206 and MGD of Lot 224; also the mother of the top selling bull from the 2021 sale.
SJRA 42GB MONTANA 225	225	Red Angus Bull	♦This Rindercella does not drop her slipper when it comes to packing in some performance. This is a big, powerful looking growth bull, as was her previous son a couple years ago. Breed him to your cows and don’t look back until you get to the scale in the fall. Some old school sire genetics from cleaning the tank. Retaining 50% semen interest. ♦8021 is deep through the rib and hip. Her EPDs are fairly balanced across the board. Apparently, she milks well too; its hard to get that WW without it. Her WR ave is 111 and YR ave is 111. Her previous bull scored well for Marb and REA also. Her Dam 3043 has Lot 208; they are also closely related to Lot 205.
SJRA R837 FELIX 229	229	Red Angus Bull	♦This guy is moderate on size, but big on muscle. He also has some pretty good stretch down the spine; a trait that runs strong in the 837 calves. I really like the overall structure of this one. There is HB, calving ease, milk, and stayability in the numbers. This cow raised a super first calf in 2021, which we kept to use in our own program. ♦8505 is a smaller, long bodied, deep ribbed cow. She is a good mama and put a lot into her calf for a young cow. That Ave BW is 84#, topped off with an Ave WR of 112. That first son ratioed well on the carcass traits too. The MGD 5005 raised a couple of high IMF bulls too. This is the 5th generation out from a XXX cow that was purchased in 1994
SJRA 37N MAINSTAY 238	238	Red Angus Bull	♦What happens when you stack up these thick butted sires and ‘Passion’ cows? You get these moderate framed, heavy quartered calves that are loaded with eye appeal and good growth. This one stacks some REA from 37N with the Marb of Bourne. It will be interesting to see where that shakes out. Look at that Herd Builder in the top of breed @ 3%! ♦This young dam was born at 86# and posted a WR of 110. The 6016 cow produces well, evidenced by her Ave WR of 106 and MPPA of 104. These two cows are medium frame type cows with strong udder structure and stand on a good base. The MGGD was a bigger cow that held a lighter BW average.
SJRA 934G WILLIAM 239	239	Red Angus Bull	♦Here came a bit more frame in the 934G sire group; not surprising if you look at the kind of cows that are in that side of the pedigree. Across 19 traits, this one hits all but 3 in the upper 50% of the breed. He is strong down the top and has great growth through yearling. I think all these 934G cattle are going to be really good footed, easy moving animals. This is also why I like to include actual BW; 79# is not really out of line for a heifer to birth. ♦0030 birthed at 80# and grew to be the #1 WW heifer calf in the 2020 1st calf heifers. Look to Lot 201 and 222 for supporting data of the performance that runs on the cow side of this pedigree. Going back 6 generations in this pedigree; the cows have all produced 100+ average ratios for WW and YW.
SJRA R837 JONAS 230	230	Red Angus Bull	♦This is probably one of the deeper quartered bulls in the pen when you stand behind him. He has a lot of muscularity expressed in that hip and over the top of the rib. He carries it well on a solid structure too. The calving ease numbers are great here; CED at 11% and CEM at 9% for the breed. ♦9006 looks to be keeping it light with Ave BW of 68# on her first two calves. A pretty cherry red heifer with a great feminine shape. A maternal sister 3031, has Lot 207; also tied to Lot 220. MGD 9056 was a long, stout cow that milked well and had great structure. This heifer was her last calf here at age 10. 9056 had MPPA 109; Ave WR 110, Ave YR 109
SJRA R863 CAPITAL 204	204	Red Angus Bull	♦The kind to put some growth kick in your program. One visitor commented this would be the bull to put on your cows. A big stature bull that profiles a long, level top. He fills well through the hip and flank. ♦2003 is 7th generation at SJRA. Typically she births on the heavier side; Ave Birth Ratio is 109. She is a performance cow in her own right with WR 112 and YR 106. Strong Milk and STAY indicators, moderate frame, sound feet and legs, great udder structure. This cow line is noted for performance. The original BJR cow in this line was a prolific female producer. The 2476 cow is the original ‘Passion’ cow and she is the MGGD to Lot 202. She pops up in 6 of the lots offered this year.
SJRA 37N ANCHOR 224	224	Red Angus Bull	♦We dipped into the storage tank for a few of these just to bring back some of the older genetics that served us well in the past. 37N gave us a lot of long spined, big hipped cattle in his day and it worked that way here. This is a larger frame bull that should put some weight on your calves at weaning. It takes muscle to make weight, and that should make some Ribeye as well. ♦8015 birthed at 85# and posted a 715# WW. Her WW & YW EPDs rank at 11%. Her Ave WR is 108, Ave YR 110. We like it when one of those older power growth cows finally has a heifer calf; see MGD 2019 with Lot 206; her powerful numbers show there. Other cow related Lots are 211 & 214
SJRA 9080 PROMONTORY 219	219	Red Angus Bull	♦A really soggy, thick butted, long topped bull. He is quite possibly the widest topped bull in here. This is the look of good gaining, easy fleshing type cattle. The growth numbers are in the upper 35% of the breed. A pot load of steers like this one would be a good bet. It will be interesting to see where the carcass shakes out on this one. ♦7007 posted a BW of 72 with NR 107. A stout built cow that is not overly large; level udder with longer teats; big hip capacity. This cow held her condition pretty well in a drought. She has strong economic traits and great stayability. This cow line originated out of the BJR herd in 1991; 7007 is 5th generation. These were high volume cows with lots of milk.
SJRA R863 KAMDEN 209	209	Red Angus Bull	♦A bull that shows good thickness and depth of rib and hip. The EPDs show merit for growth and carcass. While he is not heavy boned, I don’t think he is a great heifer bull prospect, based on the dam’s record. Dark red and has great disposition. ♦3052 posted an 89# BW; her calves Ave BW is 80#; Ave WR 102. Strong economic indica-tors; ProS 109 / 22%, HB 66 / 35%, GM 42 / 28%. Her previous sale bull scored well across the board on carcass and performance The cow line is noted for good feet and udder quality. This cow has a super disposition. MGGD K002 was the donation heifer we won from NILE.
SJRA WHY V719 KEATON 211	211	Red Angus Bull	♦An exceptionally long topped bull; clean through the front. That light BW comes from the sire side; The cow typically births in the mid 80s. ♦4004 is 7th generation @ SJRA; her actual BW 72#; her Ave calf BW 86#; Ave WR 107. She is a long, feminine cow; solid on her feet and legs; ample udder. She comes from a long line of good producing cows that have stayed the course pretty well. The cows behind her are high growth, high volume type cows with a stout base and lots of milk.
SJRA R837 FINN 227	227	Red Angus Bull	♦Another framed up bull with good growth production potential. He also has great calving ease indicators with the CEM at the top 1% and CED at 10%; however, certainly not a heifer bull by any estimation at that BW. ♦8027 birthed at 83 and posted a WR of 108. Her Ave WR is 108 on mid 80s birthweights. A bit bigger cow than her mother and pushing a little more performance in the progeny. MGD has Lot 212; and closely related to Lot 216. You can see more about the cow family there.
SJRA R837 LEONHART 223	223	Red Angus Bull	♦A lighter frame, small headed, calving ease type bull; with good growth to weaning, just like you would want for heifer’s calves. This is supported by the calving ease EPDs; CED 10% BW 17% CEM 2%. The sire and MGS also stack in some of that calving ease. ♦8013 is very feminine in her type and comes from a line of clean, classic female wedge-shaped cows. Her Ave BW is 70#. There are high volume, heavy milking cows in the back-ground. 9th generation of a cow line from Sodak Ranch.
SJRA 0264 DIRECTOR 214	214	Red Angus Bull	♦A smaller bull with substance! Great depth and width of quarter, wide down the top. Lighter bone and a clean, smooth front for calving ease. These Stewards are a consistent looking group. The economics are super here ProS 5%, HB 8% and GM 25%. Great disposition and agility; he can turn around in the feed shack and not tip anything over— Ha Ha! ♦5006 Notable EPDs; ProS 113, HB 73, STAY 19, all in the top 30% or better; pretty well balanced across the spectrum. This cow typically births light, but did have one 95# calf. She puts out thick, meaty bulls every time. She is stout, but not large; good udder, excellent feet. MGD 7019 was very strong for calving ease with CED 15 and CEM 11. Same cow family as Lots 206 & 211; 7th generation.
SJRA 42GB WINSPEAR 226	226	Red Angus Bull	♦A bull with some frame that shows nice width over the top and good length of spine. He should be able to cover country and cows. This 42GB son is a bit more moderate than Lot 225 due to the cow influence. ♦8025 comes from a line of moderately made cows with depth and volume. They are dark footed, sound traveling cattle. The 1403 cow that appears in this line was a top producer in her day. Ties back to the cow family at Lot 202.
SJRA 934G ARTHUR 236	236	Red Angus Bull	♦This is a beefy, small frame bull. The cross of Merlin on the Fast Eddy female added anoth-er dimension of thickness and depth to these bulls. I feel like these will make a pen of early maturing, early finishing cattle. This one has a lot of balance in the EPDs as well. ♦10 generations of a cow line that has great femininity, strong udder quality, solid structure. The MGD here, 5011, is noted for being and producing cattle that are well sprung in the rib and deep through the hip. She also puts in strong growth with Ave WR 106 and Ave YR 113 along with strong REA. Tied to the cow line at Lot 218.
SJRA V719 TOPSIDE 207	207	Red Angus Bull	♦A soggy bull that is not big framed. Solid heifer bull prospect given the cows production history and the fact that 719 stacks his calving ease on here. Strong maternal traits as well with HB at 10%, HPG at 7% and STAY at 10% ♦3031 birthed at 75; weaned at 654 / 103; Ave WR 103, Ave YR 103, Ave REA 103; 8th generation @ SJRA. Strong economic indicators with ProS 107 / 24% & HB 78 / 18%; STAY 20 / 8%. A moderately made cow that is structurally correct. These 8056 daughters are dark red, dark footed, good uddered cows. Ave BW 77 with Ave WR 103.
SJRA 0264 KOOPER 215	215	Red Angus Bull	♦Smaller frame, but great length, width and depth. The easy fleshing type; strong on mar-bling and cover from this cow history. Pick a pair with Lot 214 and get a consistent set of calves; not only do they look alike, but the EPDs are about as close as they can get. ♦5013’s own BW 78#; BW range 67-94#; Ave WR 105; Ave YR 101; Ave IMF 113. Top 20% for ProS; 17% HB; 7% STAY. Larger type cow with a big hip and deep rib structure. Strong on her base and a strong milk producer. Daughter 0020 had the top heifer calf in the 1st calf heifers; typical from the ‘Passion’ cow line; the keeper kind.
SJRA R863 BOUNTY 217	217	Red Angus Bull	♦A smaller sized Fast Eddy bull that is the easy fleshing type. He is lighter BW than normal for this cow; but his head is small and he is not coarse. Nice width over the top and depth of hip and rib. ♦6010 is a medium sized cow in our herd; dark red; great udder; and dark, solid feet. Her Ave BW 80#, Ave WR 104 and Ave YR 101. Eight generations of high volume cows from the most prolific female line in our program. The bulls from this cow typically put on good rib cover; something I think is important in short grass, tough winter country. Same cow line as Lot 201.
SJRA 0264 CAPTAIN 203	203	Red Angus Bull	♦A wide hipped bull with long top. Crossing the Steward on this Relentless dam helped to moderate the frame of that sire line of cows. Strong ProS and HB borne out of the mating as well. ♦A bigger framed cow that typically pushes some growth and muscle; evidenced by her Ave WR of 104 and Ave REA ratio of 107. 6th generation from a Boot Jack cow bought in 1981. A direct line of cows that have stuck around and done their job; the herd builder kind, all with a calving interval of 365 days or less. The MGD 2473 bore 11 calves; Ave WR104, YR 102, IMF Ratio 108, REA Ratio 102.
SJRA V719 KYRON 221	221	Red Angus Bull	♦A small frame bull that is loaded up with the meaty look of the 719 sons. He is checking the boxes for being a female producer with the HB in the top 7% of breed; supported by the moderate BW traits, HPG at 9% and ST at 8% ♦7016 originated out of the Lakota line from Milk Creek Red Angus. Her Ave BW is 70#; her own BW 79#; HB 83 (13%); STAY 21 (6%). A nice wedge shaped cow like her MGD. Strong udders run in this cow line; as do relatively light BWs. MGGD 0768 produced through age 11.
SJRA 9080 RENOWN 218	218	Red Angus Bull	♦A younger aged, solid growth type bull that has some frame to him. There should be a fair amount of grow power here, given that both sides of the pedigree push that. Because this bull sells as commercial, the EPDs are parental averages. His ratios were calculated with the contemporary group. ♦7003’s BW range is 73-84#. She sports a medium frame; extra length; and a feminine front; plus great udder quality. MGD 7031 was a heavy milking cow that produced high perfor-mance cattle; Ave WR 106, Ave YR 104.
SJRA TRR R837 KANNEN 231	231	Red Angus Bull	♦A long, smooth bodied bull that should work well on heifers. All the indexes support this with CED & CEM at 9% for the breed. He actually has pretty good dimension as well, for a calving ease bull. He has done well this winter as he is one of the ‘trough lickers’. They clean up the crumbs after everyone else has hit the hay bunk! ♦This young cow is showing promise as she comes into her own. We acquired her as an open yearling heifer from the Bowles program. She has birthed two calves at 70#. She posted a 112 WR and 109 YR with an 85# BW. She also punches some good numbers for Marb and REA.
SJRA 9080 AMOS 216	216	Red Angus Bull	♦Sure shot heifer bull type with a little more frame. Good width over the top and depth in the rib. Solid growth and economic traits. ♦6008 has produced an Ave BW 74#. Her own BW 78#, with a 106 WR. The BW range is tight here; all in the 70s. This is angular, feminine cow; tight udder structure; some frame size. Maternal sister to the dam of Lot 212. MGD 0006 was a super thick, deep cow; strong on milk.
SJRA V719 CONVERGENCE 206	206	Red Angus Bull	♦A young scamp that posted a hefty WW despite the dry, hot summer. Moderate in frame and structure, but extra long like his dam. Above average for growth and carcass EPDs. Full brother to the high selling bull in the 2021 sale. ♦2019 is 9th generation from the first registered cow we purchased in 1979. Production averages; WR 107, YR 108, BF 103, REA 105. Strong growth and carcass EPDs; MK 34 @ 6%. She has consistently produced in the top 25% of the herd for WW & YW. A super long cow; ample udder; solid structure all around; born at 75#; YR 107. Daughter 8015 has Lot 224.
SJRA R031 INDEMNITY 213	213	Red Angus Bull	♦A thick, easy fleshing bull with good depth from end to end. There is good potential for a heifer bull here with an Ave BW of 74# from this cow and a 72# Ave from the MGD. Solid mid-range EPDs across the spectrum; the strength is in the maternal as we would expect from this cow family ♦5001 has these notable EPDs; HB 74 (23%), Milk 30 (16%), STAY 20 (11%). If you are looking to building longevity, this is the cow line for it; 5 generations that have stayed the course. This is a soggy cow that milks well and travels on a strong base. MGD 4611 pro-duced through age 14. Closely related cow line to Lot 212.
SJRA V719 MAX 208	208	Red Angus Bull	♦Moderate in frame and structure, typical of 719 sons. While probably not a heifer bull, I would look for these to birth pretty easy. The bull is smooth through the shoulder, with the length and light frame that should let them slide right out for trouble free pasture calving. Great maternal and solid growth indicators. ♦3043 Dam’s Ave BW 85#; Ave WR 104; Growth EPDs in top 28%; 7th generation SJRA. Moderate sized cow, great female wedge shape, ample milk. Dam of the production power-house, 8021, who has Lot 225. She has one other daughter in herd and one in Iowa. Same cow line as Lot 205.
SJRA S831 TREMAYNE 234	234	Red Angus Bull	♦This is a bigger framed calf in this string of light BW heifer’s calves. The sire is one we have been using to clean up where we have felt the need to have an extra bull. 831 is a bigger, smooth, deep ribbed bull; sired by a son of Fusion. ♦The 0011 heifer comes from the dam of Lot 207. As is noted there; this is a light BW line of cows. We have kept all her heifer calves over the years. 0011 and her maternal sisters represent the 9th generation of this line in our program
SJRA 934G KENDELL 240	240	Red Angus Bull	♦Another of those certain heifer bull types that is built right for the job. These heifers shared their dry grass with the grasshoppers last summer, so while these are not blow out weaning weights, these calves were in pretty good flesh given what they had to work with for pasture conditions. There is nice dimension in this bull and the classic level top that 934G puts on these scamps. They are not wimpy, slab sided calves. ♦0031 birthed at 80# with a WR of 104; her calving ease indices are CED 15 / 16% and CEM 10 / 5%. The cow comes down a line of bigger framed cows that are heavy milkers and sound structured cattle. Most closely related to the cow line at Lot 206.
SJRA 934G GEOFFREY 233	233	Red Angus Bull	♦A person could put together a handful of these guys for a ‘peas in a pod’ set of calves. If your goal is to hit the ground with live calves and minimize the stress on you heifers; these fellas would fill that bill. The calving ease numbers are there. ♦0008 is a 1st calf heifer from a cow that consistently produces a feminine, eye appealing heifer calf. I think the light BW will hold here with her 77# Ave BW. If you have paid atten-tion, there are a lot of those 935 sired cows in the older end of these matrons and a bunch of them are still here! They are hardy, sound cows that have stayed the course. This 2008 cow has HB EPD of 70, putting her at the top 5%; HPG and STAY hit the upper 11%. Same cow line at Lots 208 & 225.
SJRA WHY 934G CELTIC 232	232	Red Angus Bull	♦A sure shot heifer bull kind; small frame, small head, clean shoulders, ultra light BW. Of course, we have that perennial calving ease leader, Merlin, on the top side and the Bourne bull on the bottom side to stack that up. ♦The cows in this deal are some queens. Chris stated that the 204Z cow is a favorite in the Wasem herd. In looking at her production, she has raised some great performing sons for Wasem Red Angus. In our herd, the Saffire 8029 cow has long been a favorite for her brood cow look, fertility, milking ability, structural soundness and the thickness and depth that she put into her progeny.
SJRA 934G SAGE 235	235	Red Angus Bull	♦A good one to team up with Lots 232 and 233. These three fit together well visually and statistically. They should give you some stress free, thrifty calves. That Merlin background gives them the genetic merit to be high efficiency cattle with carcass potential. ♦This ‘Grace’ cow family is a line of sleek cows that are clean up front, with a lighter skeletal build. They have great udder quality and excellent feet. MGD 5002 produces an Ave BW of 73#. This is the same cow family as Lot 209.
SJRA R031 ATONEMENT 202	202	Red Angus Bull	♦A lighter framed, clean sided bull backed by a performance cow line. Dead level down the top and smooth through the front. The history of the cow line makes the economic indicators pack some weight here. ♦The Pioneer cows have been some favorites over the years. This one raised a 2018 sale topper. Her and her dam consistently produced some performance cattle. 0056’s Ave Stats: WR 101, YR 106, IMF Ratio 132, MPPA 101. She has raised the number one IMF bull in the pen on two occasions. These ‘Passion’ cows show up a few times in this offering. Strong economic traits; ProS 126 / 8%, HB 80 / 15%, GM 46 / 22%, STAY 22 / 3%.
SJRA R837 GUNTHER 201	201	Red Angus Bull	♦Long, clean made bull; moderate in his structure. Sadly, the mother bogged in a reservoir when this dude was about 6 weeks old. He lived out his summer on grain and hay, with no milk. We feel he would have performed well with his dam, given her previous production history. Some old school genetics here with Rambler 5162, Heavenly, and Hobo 79E. ♦A 6th generation SJRA cow with ST1%, Milk 4% and HB 9%; calving interval over 10 calves is 367 days. Growth pushing cow line, which means some BW, but with that comes some WW; Ave WR of 107 & YR 108. Feminine, deep ribbed cow that held her structure and condition well in our environment. Ample udder and solid feet.
SJRA 0264 KALISTA 2004	2004	Red Angus Heifer	This cow family is for strong fertility, with 3 generations of calving intervals at 368 days or less. This is also a light BW line. The 2026 a clean, level top and a more petite body type. Her Ave BW is 76#; she also posts a 102 REA average ratio. Great udder structure here and excellent feet.
SJRA V719 KIMBER 2008	2008	Red Angus Heifer	These cows tend to be larger framed and push more growth. They are big footed, ample uddered cows. Dam 3046 births at Ave BW of 83#. She is ranking in the top 5% of breed for WW, YW, and ADG.
SJRA R031KATALINA 2013	2013	Red Angus Heifer	This cow line exemplifies the clean front, feminine cow type on a moderate frame. Dam 5005 is consistent for light BW with Ave BW 76# while producing Ave WR of 103. Her bulls also show good marbling with an average ratio of 104. Good maternal numbers; HB 87 / 10%, Milk 33 / 8%, STAY 23 / 1%.
SJRA R031 KIARA 2019	2019	Red Angus Heifer	Same cow line as Lot 2013. Dam 6003 has produced as follows; AVE BW 77, WR 104, YR 105, IMF 113, BF 123, REA 108. The MGD 7015 shows up at LOT 229 also. Great longevity in this line; 1% for STAY on Dam 6003 and her sire and dam.
SJRA R863 KAISLEY 2024	2024	Red Angus Heifer	This heifer is smaller framed like her dam. These are a line of broody, stout cows that are not large; but that milk well and have historically produced well. MGD 2029 is a herd favorite for her phenotype and her production. This line tied back to the Trailblazer bull that has several dams among the bull lots.

222

SJRA R863 CORPORAL 222

♦A big frame bull with a big hip and strong top. Look at the length from hooks to pins here; that hip is where the most total $$ of retail product comes from. Volume that is supported by the bulls in the pedigree. This is a strong growth cow family. Power growth numbers here, landing him in the top 12% or higher for WW YW & ADG. Retaining 50% semen interest. ♦8005 has all the makings of a really great cow; Ave BW 77#, Ave NR 112, carrying growth on to yearling. This cow posted an 80# BW with a 702 WW. She is a bigger kind of cow; great feminine shape; lots of milk and mothering ability. MGD 0041 has Lot 201; Daughter has Lot 239.

237

SJRA 934G CAMELOT 237

♦This bull and Lot 236 are 7/8 brothers and they look very much alike. Yep, this one has a bit more BW and is a little bigger, but that would be expected from this cow line; just don’t dump him in your heifers. On mature cows, he will be fine and add some value to the calves. He is a really soggy bull; deep, wide, thick and meaty are all great adjectives here; certainly a standout in the group. ♦Here is that ‘Passion’ cow family again. They do pack a punch on the performance side of things. The dam here has breed leading growth numbers; WW 67 / 21%, YW 117 / 9% & ADG 0.31 / 4%. The MGD 5017 does push some BW, but also strong growth. She produced a top selling, high performance bull as a 1st calf heifer; and has had heifer calves since.

220

SJRA R863 HIGH LIFE 220

♦These 863 sired bulls are pretty consistent in the muscle they carry and the fact that most are not overly large framed, given the size of this sire. This one certainly follows the pattern. Good spread from birth to weaning; landing in the top 25% of the herd for WR. ♦7012 Ave WR 109; BW range 71-79#. Her BW 78#, followed up with 111 WR. Eye appeal-ing, dark red cow; great feet and legs; good udder structure. This is 7012’s first bull calf. Prolific cow line with high performance history; typically long, deep ribbed type females. MGD 1005 Ave WR 109 & YR 102. Tied to cow family of Lot 207.

205

SJRA R863 EASY STREET 205

♦If you are looking for a bull to put growth in your calves, give this one a look. The growth genetics are real in this cow line. He is the #1 WR bull. There is frame and length here, as you would expect from a high performance bull. Retaining 50% semen interest. ♦2006 has a calving interval 365 days. Production Averages; BW 111 WR 110 YR 105 IMF 110. The same root cow family as Lots 201 202 & 204; but only 3 generations out from that original cow, BJR 4242. Trust me, there are a lot more of them! These girls have had some staying power! Her dam, 4567 (MPPA 109), is the dam of the Trailblazer bull that sired quite a few cows in our program. The MGGD had MPPA 104.

212

SJRA R863 FAT CITY 212

♦A nice made bull from an super cow line; they come stamped with a certain shape from this cow. You get a meaty type of bull, shaped right up front for calving ease, that carries it all on a moderate frame. Her calves are always a pasture favorite and are becoming customer favorites as well. Good mid-range EPDs pretty much across the board. ♦4006 was born at 72# and her calves have averaged 77#; Ave WR 101; Ave IMF 116. Notable EPDs; HB 82 (13%), CEM 10 (5%), STAY 20 (12%). This cow line is filled with easy fleshing, deep ribbed and hipped, great milking cows. She had the top selling bull in 2022; her 2020 bull went to Iowa. Her daughter has Lot 227.

210

SJRA R863 PROSPERITY 210

♦Oh my, if you like a bull that carries meat and muscle on a medium frame, take a look at my bull. This is the consistent product we expect from this cow and the ‘Passion’ cows in gen-eral. Strong growth EPDs; WW 32%, YW 21%, ADG 12%. Retaining 50% semen interest. ♦4001 is a performance producing female; Ave WR 107; Ave YR 104; Ave REA 107; Ave actual BW 81#. She is the type of cow you would like a pen full of; an easy keeping, high volume cow that milks well and is a fierce mother cow when she calves. Full sister to Dam of Lot 204. She has a loaded pedigree with 4567 cow on top and 2476 cow on the bottom.

228

SJRA R837 ELIAS 228

♦This is a really nice looking bull! He has the look of a cow bull, but with great calving ease EPDs. Put him on some cows and expect a trouble free calving with that CEM at 11 / 3%. This bull has a clean level top and a deep quarter. The genetics are there to make that growth the real deal. ♦8029 birthed at a light 69# and grew to a WR of 107. Her calves have averaged 110 for WR. If you are wondering about those performance genetics...her MGD is 2019, mother of Lot 206 and MGD of Lot 224; also the mother of the top selling bull from the 2021 sale.

225

SJRA 42GB MONTANA 225

♦This Rindercella does not drop her slipper when it comes to packing in some performance. This is a big, powerful looking growth bull, as was her previous son a couple years ago. Breed him to your cows and don’t look back until you get to the scale in the fall. Some old school sire genetics from cleaning the tank. Retaining 50% semen interest. ♦8021 is deep through the rib and hip. Her EPDs are fairly balanced across the board. Apparently, she milks well too; its hard to get that WW without it. Her WR ave is 111 and YR ave is 111. Her previous bull scored well for Marb and REA also. Her Dam 3043 has Lot 208; they are also closely related to Lot 205.

229

SJRA R837 FELIX 229

♦This guy is moderate on size, but big on muscle. He also has some pretty good stretch down the spine; a trait that runs strong in the 837 calves. I really like the overall structure of this one. There is HB, calving ease, milk, and stayability in the numbers. This cow raised a super first calf in 2021, which we kept to use in our own program. ♦8505 is a smaller, long bodied, deep ribbed cow. She is a good mama and put a lot into her calf for a young cow. That Ave BW is 84#, topped off with an Ave WR of 112. That first son ratioed well on the carcass traits too. The MGD 5005 raised a couple of high IMF bulls too. This is the 5th generation out from a XXX cow that was purchased in 1994

238

SJRA 37N MAINSTAY 238

♦What happens when you stack up these thick butted sires and ‘Passion’ cows? You get these moderate framed, heavy quartered calves that are loaded with eye appeal and good growth. This one stacks some REA from 37N with the Marb of Bourne. It will be interesting to see where that shakes out. Look at that Herd Builder in the top of breed @ 3%! ♦This young dam was born at 86# and posted a WR of 110. The 6016 cow produces well, evidenced by her Ave WR of 106 and MPPA of 104. These two cows are medium frame type cows with strong udder structure and stand on a good base. The MGGD was a bigger cow that held a lighter BW average.

239

SJRA 934G WILLIAM 239

♦Here came a bit more frame in the 934G sire group; not surprising if you look at the kind of cows that are in that side of the pedigree. Across 19 traits, this one hits all but 3 in the upper 50% of the breed. He is strong down the top and has great growth through yearling. I think all these 934G cattle are going to be really good footed, easy moving animals. This is also why I like to include actual BW; 79# is not really out of line for a heifer to birth. ♦0030 birthed at 80# and grew to be the #1 WW heifer calf in the 2020 1st calf heifers. Look to Lot 201 and 222 for supporting data of the performance that runs on the cow side of this pedigree. Going back 6 generations in this pedigree; the cows have all produced 100+ average ratios for WW and YW.

230

SJRA R837 JONAS 230

♦This is probably one of the deeper quartered bulls in the pen when you stand behind him. He has a lot of muscularity expressed in that hip and over the top of the rib. He carries it well on a solid structure too. The calving ease numbers are great here; CED at 11% and CEM at 9% for the breed. ♦9006 looks to be keeping it light with Ave BW of 68# on her first two calves. A pretty cherry red heifer with a great feminine shape. A maternal sister 3031, has Lot 207; also tied to Lot 220. MGD 9056 was a long, stout cow that milked well and had great structure. This heifer was her last calf here at age 10. 9056 had MPPA 109; Ave WR 110, Ave YR 109

204

SJRA R863 CAPITAL 204

♦The kind to put some growth kick in your program. One visitor commented this would be the bull to put on your cows. A big stature bull that profiles a long, level top. He fills well through the hip and flank. ♦2003 is 7th generation at SJRA. Typically she births on the heavier side; Ave Birth Ratio is 109. She is a performance cow in her own right with WR 112 and YR 106. Strong Milk and STAY indicators, moderate frame, sound feet and legs, great udder structure. This cow line is noted for performance. The original BJR cow in this line was a prolific female producer. The 2476 cow is the original ‘Passion’ cow and she is the MGGD to Lot 202. She pops up in 6 of the lots offered this year.

224

SJRA 37N ANCHOR 224

♦We dipped into the storage tank for a few of these just to bring back some of the older genetics that served us well in the past. 37N gave us a lot of long spined, big hipped cattle in his day and it worked that way here. This is a larger frame bull that should put some weight on your calves at weaning. It takes muscle to make weight, and that should make some Ribeye as well. ♦8015 birthed at 85# and posted a 715# WW. Her WW & YW EPDs rank at 11%. Her Ave WR is 108, Ave YR 110. We like it when one of those older power growth cows finally has a heifer calf; see MGD 2019 with Lot 206; her powerful numbers show there. Other cow related Lots are 211 & 214

219

SJRA 9080 PROMONTORY 219

♦A really soggy, thick butted, long topped bull. He is quite possibly the widest topped bull in here. This is the look of good gaining, easy fleshing type cattle. The growth numbers are in the upper 35% of the breed. A pot load of steers like this one would be a good bet. It will be interesting to see where the carcass shakes out on this one. ♦7007 posted a BW of 72 with NR 107. A stout built cow that is not overly large; level udder with longer teats; big hip capacity. This cow held her condition pretty well in a drought. She has strong economic traits and great stayability. This cow line originated out of the BJR herd in 1991; 7007 is 5th generation. These were high volume cows with lots of milk.

209

SJRA R863 KAMDEN 209

♦A bull that shows good thickness and depth of rib and hip. The EPDs show merit for growth and carcass. While he is not heavy boned, I don’t think he is a great heifer bull prospect, based on the dam’s record. Dark red and has great disposition. ♦3052 posted an 89# BW; her calves Ave BW is 80#; Ave WR 102. Strong economic indica-tors; ProS 109 / 22%, HB 66 / 35%, GM 42 / 28%. Her previous sale bull scored well across the board on carcass and performance The cow line is noted for good feet and udder quality. This cow has a super disposition. MGGD K002 was the donation heifer we won from NILE.

211

SJRA WHY V719 KEATON 211

♦An exceptionally long topped bull; clean through the front. That light BW comes from the sire side; The cow typically births in the mid 80s. ♦4004 is 7th generation @ SJRA; her actual BW 72#; her Ave calf BW 86#; Ave WR 107. She is a long, feminine cow; solid on her feet and legs; ample udder. She comes from a long line of good producing cows that have stayed the course pretty well. The cows behind her are high growth, high volume type cows with a stout base and lots of milk.

227

SJRA R837 FINN 227

♦Another framed up bull with good growth production potential. He also has great calving ease indicators with the CEM at the top 1% and CED at 10%; however, certainly not a heifer bull by any estimation at that BW. ♦8027 birthed at 83 and posted a WR of 108. Her Ave WR is 108 on mid 80s birthweights. A bit bigger cow than her mother and pushing a little more performance in the progeny. MGD has Lot 212; and closely related to Lot 216. You can see more about the cow family there.

223

SJRA R837 LEONHART 223

♦A lighter frame, small headed, calving ease type bull; with good growth to weaning, just like you would want for heifer’s calves. This is supported by the calving ease EPDs; CED 10% BW 17% CEM 2%. The sire and MGS also stack in some of that calving ease. ♦8013 is very feminine in her type and comes from a line of clean, classic female wedge-shaped cows. Her Ave BW is 70#. There are high volume, heavy milking cows in the back-ground. 9th generation of a cow line from Sodak Ranch.

214

SJRA 0264 DIRECTOR 214

♦A smaller bull with substance! Great depth and width of quarter, wide down the top. Lighter bone and a clean, smooth front for calving ease. These Stewards are a consistent looking group. The economics are super here ProS 5%, HB 8% and GM 25%. Great disposition and agility; he can turn around in the feed shack and not tip anything over— Ha Ha! ♦5006 Notable EPDs; ProS 113, HB 73, STAY 19, all in the top 30% or better; pretty well balanced across the spectrum. This cow typically births light, but did have one 95# calf. She puts out thick, meaty bulls every time. She is stout, but not large; good udder, excellent feet. MGD 7019 was very strong for calving ease with CED 15 and CEM 11. Same cow family as Lots 206 & 211; 7th generation.

226

SJRA 42GB WINSPEAR 226

♦A bull with some frame that shows nice width over the top and good length of spine. He should be able to cover country and cows. This 42GB son is a bit more moderate than Lot 225 due to the cow influence. ♦8025 comes from a line of moderately made cows with depth and volume. They are dark footed, sound traveling cattle. The 1403 cow that appears in this line was a top producer in her day. Ties back to the cow family at Lot 202.

236

SJRA 934G ARTHUR 236

♦This is a beefy, small frame bull. The cross of Merlin on the Fast Eddy female added anoth-er dimension of thickness and depth to these bulls. I feel like these will make a pen of early maturing, early finishing cattle. This one has a lot of balance in the EPDs as well. ♦10 generations of a cow line that has great femininity, strong udder quality, solid structure. The MGD here, 5011, is noted for being and producing cattle that are well sprung in the rib and deep through the hip. She also puts in strong growth with Ave WR 106 and Ave YR 113 along with strong REA. Tied to the cow line at Lot 218.

207

SJRA V719 TOPSIDE 207

♦A soggy bull that is not big framed. Solid heifer bull prospect given the cows production history and the fact that 719 stacks his calving ease on here. Strong maternal traits as well with HB at 10%, HPG at 7% and STAY at 10% ♦3031 birthed at 75; weaned at 654 / 103; Ave WR 103, Ave YR 103, Ave REA 103; 8th generation @ SJRA. Strong economic indicators with ProS 107 / 24% & HB 78 / 18%; STAY 20 / 8%. A moderately made cow that is structurally correct. These 8056 daughters are dark red, dark footed, good uddered cows. Ave BW 77 with Ave WR 103.

215

SJRA 0264 KOOPER 215

♦Smaller frame, but great length, width and depth. The easy fleshing type; strong on mar-bling and cover from this cow history. Pick a pair with Lot 214 and get a consistent set of calves; not only do they look alike, but the EPDs are about as close as they can get. ♦5013’s own BW 78#; BW range 67-94#; Ave WR 105; Ave YR 101; Ave IMF 113. Top 20% for ProS; 17% HB; 7% STAY. Larger type cow with a big hip and deep rib structure. Strong on her base and a strong milk producer. Daughter 0020 had the top heifer calf in the 1st calf heifers; typical from the ‘Passion’ cow line; the keeper kind.

217

SJRA R863 BOUNTY 217

♦A smaller sized Fast Eddy bull that is the easy fleshing type. He is lighter BW than normal for this cow; but his head is small and he is not coarse. Nice width over the top and depth of hip and rib. ♦6010 is a medium sized cow in our herd; dark red; great udder; and dark, solid feet. Her Ave BW 80#, Ave WR 104 and Ave YR 101. Eight generations of high volume cows from the most prolific female line in our program. The bulls from this cow typically put on good rib cover; something I think is important in short grass, tough winter country. Same cow line as Lot 201.

203

SJRA 0264 CAPTAIN 203

♦A wide hipped bull with long top. Crossing the Steward on this Relentless dam helped to moderate the frame of that sire line of cows. Strong ProS and HB borne out of the mating as well. ♦A bigger framed cow that typically pushes some growth and muscle; evidenced by her Ave WR of 104 and Ave REA ratio of 107. 6th generation from a Boot Jack cow bought in 1981. A direct line of cows that have stuck around and done their job; the herd builder kind, all with a calving interval of 365 days or less. The MGD 2473 bore 11 calves; Ave WR104, YR 102, IMF Ratio 108, REA Ratio 102.

221

SJRA V719 KYRON 221

♦A small frame bull that is loaded up with the meaty look of the 719 sons. He is checking the boxes for being a female producer with the HB in the top 7% of breed; supported by the moderate BW traits, HPG at 9% and ST at 8% ♦7016 originated out of the Lakota line from Milk Creek Red Angus. Her Ave BW is 70#; her own BW 79#; HB 83 (13%); STAY 21 (6%). A nice wedge shaped cow like her MGD. Strong udders run in this cow line; as do relatively light BWs. MGGD 0768 produced through age 11.

218

SJRA 9080 RENOWN 218

♦A younger aged, solid growth type bull that has some frame to him. There should be a fair amount of grow power here, given that both sides of the pedigree push that. Because this bull sells as commercial, the EPDs are parental averages. His ratios were calculated with the contemporary group. ♦7003’s BW range is 73-84#. She sports a medium frame; extra length; and a feminine front; plus great udder quality. MGD 7031 was a heavy milking cow that produced high perfor-mance cattle; Ave WR 106, Ave YR 104.

231

SJRA TRR R837 KANNEN 231

♦A long, smooth bodied bull that should work well on heifers. All the indexes support this with CED & CEM at 9% for the breed. He actually has pretty good dimension as well, for a calving ease bull. He has done well this winter as he is one of the ‘trough lickers’. They clean up the crumbs after everyone else has hit the hay bunk! ♦This young cow is showing promise as she comes into her own. We acquired her as an open yearling heifer from the Bowles program. She has birthed two calves at 70#. She posted a 112 WR and 109 YR with an 85# BW. She also punches some good numbers for Marb and REA.

216

SJRA 9080 AMOS 216

♦Sure shot heifer bull type with a little more frame. Good width over the top and depth in the rib. Solid growth and economic traits. ♦6008 has produced an Ave BW 74#. Her own BW 78#, with a 106 WR. The BW range is tight here; all in the 70s. This is angular, feminine cow; tight udder structure; some frame size. Maternal sister to the dam of Lot 212. MGD 0006 was a super thick, deep cow; strong on milk.

206

SJRA V719 CONVERGENCE 206

♦A young scamp that posted a hefty WW despite the dry, hot summer. Moderate in frame and structure, but extra long like his dam. Above average for growth and carcass EPDs. Full brother to the high selling bull in the 2021 sale. ♦2019 is 9th generation from the first registered cow we purchased in 1979. Production averages; WR 107, YR 108, BF 103, REA 105. Strong growth and carcass EPDs; MK 34 @ 6%. She has consistently produced in the top 25% of the herd for WW & YW. A super long cow; ample udder; solid structure all around; born at 75#; YR 107. Daughter 8015 has Lot 224.

213

SJRA R031 INDEMNITY 213

♦A thick, easy fleshing bull with good depth from end to end. There is good potential for a heifer bull here with an Ave BW of 74# from this cow and a 72# Ave from the MGD. Solid mid-range EPDs across the spectrum; the strength is in the maternal as we would expect from this cow family ♦5001 has these notable EPDs; HB 74 (23%), Milk 30 (16%), STAY 20 (11%). If you are looking to building longevity, this is the cow line for it; 5 generations that have stayed the course. This is a soggy cow that milks well and travels on a strong base. MGD 4611 pro-duced through age 14. Closely related cow line to Lot 212.

208

SJRA V719 MAX 208

♦Moderate in frame and structure, typical of 719 sons. While probably not a heifer bull, I would look for these to birth pretty easy. The bull is smooth through the shoulder, with the length and light frame that should let them slide right out for trouble free pasture calving. Great maternal and solid growth indicators. ♦3043 Dam’s Ave BW 85#; Ave WR 104; Growth EPDs in top 28%; 7th generation SJRA. Moderate sized cow, great female wedge shape, ample milk. Dam of the production power-house, 8021, who has Lot 225. She has one other daughter in herd and one in Iowa. Same cow line as Lot 205.

234

SJRA S831 TREMAYNE 234

♦This is a bigger framed calf in this string of light BW heifer’s calves. The sire is one we have been using to clean up where we have felt the need to have an extra bull. 831 is a bigger, smooth, deep ribbed bull; sired by a son of Fusion. ♦The 0011 heifer comes from the dam of Lot 207. As is noted there; this is a light BW line of cows. We have kept all her heifer calves over the years. 0011 and her maternal sisters represent the 9th generation of this line in our program

240

SJRA 934G KENDELL 240

♦Another of those certain heifer bull types that is built right for the job. These heifers shared their dry grass with the grasshoppers last summer, so while these are not blow out weaning weights, these calves were in pretty good flesh given what they had to work with for pasture conditions. There is nice dimension in this bull and the classic level top that 934G puts on these scamps. They are not wimpy, slab sided calves. ♦0031 birthed at 80# with a WR of 104; her calving ease indices are CED 15 / 16% and CEM 10 / 5%. The cow comes down a line of bigger framed cows that are heavy milkers and sound structured cattle. Most closely related to the cow line at Lot 206.

233

SJRA 934G GEOFFREY 233

♦A person could put together a handful of these guys for a ‘peas in a pod’ set of calves. If your goal is to hit the ground with live calves and minimize the stress on you heifers; these fellas would fill that bill. The calving ease numbers are there. ♦0008 is a 1st calf heifer from a cow that consistently produces a feminine, eye appealing heifer calf. I think the light BW will hold here with her 77# Ave BW. If you have paid atten-tion, there are a lot of those 935 sired cows in the older end of these matrons and a bunch of them are still here! They are hardy, sound cows that have stayed the course. This 2008 cow has HB EPD of 70, putting her at the top 5%; HPG and STAY hit the upper 11%. Same cow line at Lots 208 & 225.

232

SJRA WHY 934G CELTIC 232

♦A sure shot heifer bull kind; small frame, small head, clean shoulders, ultra light BW. Of course, we have that perennial calving ease leader, Merlin, on the top side and the Bourne bull on the bottom side to stack that up. ♦The cows in this deal are some queens. Chris stated that the 204Z cow is a favorite in the Wasem herd. In looking at her production, she has raised some great performing sons for Wasem Red Angus. In our herd, the Saffire 8029 cow has long been a favorite for her brood cow look, fertility, milking ability, structural soundness and the thickness and depth that she put into her progeny.

235

SJRA 934G SAGE 235

♦A good one to team up with Lots 232 and 233. These three fit together well visually and statistically. They should give you some stress free, thrifty calves. That Merlin background gives them the genetic merit to be high efficiency cattle with carcass potential. ♦This ‘Grace’ cow family is a line of sleek cows that are clean up front, with a lighter skeletal build. They have great udder quality and excellent feet. MGD 5002 produces an Ave BW of 73#. This is the same cow family as Lot 209.

202

SJRA R031 ATONEMENT 202

SJRA R837 GUNTHER 201

♦Long, clean made bull; moderate in his structure. Sadly, the mother bogged in a reservoir when this dude was about 6 weeks old. He lived out his summer on grain and hay, with no milk.
