The mature photo is here, and Metallika is proving that true breeding bulls don't just survive the workload, they actually thrive because of it.

In the last six months alone, he's gone from Wisconsin to Fort Worth, back to Wisconsin, down to Jackson, Mississippi, back to Wisconsin, out to Kathryn, North Dakota, and back home again. Along the way was on collection, he's cleaned up AI cows, was out to clean up recip cows, covered miles, and handled every job asked of him.

And he still looks like this.

A true beef bull with all the extra bells and whistles—mass, muscle, shape, power, structural integrity, and the look that made him a favorite from the day we found him.

Pedigree: JSF KANE Cinch 61H x CSF Lady Crystal EV 2223 ET

The more summers I experience, the more I appreciate moments like this.

A quiet pasture. Evening sunlight. A good cow standing in the tall grass without a care in the world listening to the wind rustle the trees.

Life moves fast. There’s always another deadline, another project, another place to be. But every once in a while, something reminds you to slow down and enjoy where you are.

Maybe that's why scenes like this never get old.
Just a good cow, green grass, and a summer evening doing what it does best.

LAST CALL. 🚨

If you've had your eye on the blue ombré BLSC sweatshirt or t-shirt, today's the day.

Not only are these some of our favorite items we've released, but they're made from performance material that's built for long days in the barn, summer show mornings and evenings, and everything in between.

These two products close tonight on the BLSC webstore due to longer production times compared to other products.

Whether you're headed to Junior Nationals, spending your days working cattle, or looking for something comfortable to wear ringside, now is your chance to grab one before it's too late.

⏰ Orders close tonight.

Some people unwind with vacations or weekends off.
Me? I’m happiest right here.
In the barn before daylight.
Rinsing cattle.
Mixing feed.
Working hair.
Getting one more rep in before the next backdrop.
It’s long days, sore backs, and more sacrifices than most people see… but there’s nowhere else I’d rather be.
Because this was never just about cattle.
It’s about building something you believe in, with people who believe in it too.
And somehow, the work becomes the part that makes you feel the most alive.

The bulls that walk through the show barn at BLSC are the heart and soul of the barn. With Metallika being a Cinch son, getting to work with a group of people at NSI that care just as much about the bulls as I do who also get incredible results, in conjunction with a facility that is state of the art with sexing machines on site; it was an absolute no brainer to make the trip to NSI with Metallika. I am so appreciative of not only the results and the care he received, but also the customer service and level of professionalism of every person I came into contact with at NSI. They are truly second to none.

Semen is available and ready to go, please reach out!

What started as a shared goal turned into something far bigger than banners and backdrop photos. Early mornings, late nights, countless miles, wash racks, hard conversations, and the kind of teamwork that doesn’t happen unless people truly believe in one another.

These cattle may have carried the banners, but every win was built by a group of people willing to show up for each other day after day. Friends, fitters, showmen, mentors, and believers who gave their time, energy, and heart to something bigger than themselves.

The national recognition means a lot. It always will. But the part we’ll hold onto the longest is the people standing beside us in every photo and every moment in between. The laughs on the road, the stressful show mornings, the quiet moments in the barn after the crowds were gone. That’s the part of this journey that mattered most.

Because at the end of the day, the best cattle stories were never built by one person alone. They were built by a team that cared deeply about the work, the people around them, and doing things the right way.

These wins belong to every person who helped make them possible.

The banners are hung. Now it’s time to go back to work.

Metallika, sheared off and back in his working clothes after 50 days at Northland Sires. No backdrop. No lights. Just grass under his feet and a job to do. That is what a bull is required to do after his show career ends and Metallika is doing it well!

While he was on collection, semen was shipped back home to WI. With it being just me as the AI tech, those first 8 units got put to use right away.

7 of 8 pregnant ✅

The kind of consistency you do not guess about. You build it. You believe in it. Then you prove it.

From the barn to the tank and back out in the pasture, it all has to connect.

Conventional semen available at $50 per unit
Sexed semen available at $150 per unit
