Over the past several years we have had the privilege of placing some of the best Shorthorn bulls this breed has to offer in the hands of some of the greatest cow herds on the planet. Spring breeding season will quickly be upon us, and now is the time to order semen to create the next generation. Contact us or their owners for more information.

Wise’s Hard Truth 407 sells this Saturday, February 28 at the Cow Palace in Anita, IA. This Ronan son was our choice to use on heifers this past spring and already has two unassisted sons running around our calving pasture. Both in the mid 60’s out of heifers. His EPD and $ Indexes are stellar, and he is weighing in at just shy of 1800 lbs with a 42 cm scrotal. If you need a bull that can pull double duty on both heifers and cows then 407 is the answer.

Stop in and see Wise’s Redwood 316 on display in Pen 633 in the yards. Thank you to Loving Farms for the recent purchase of Redwood. Every year we stop in Pawnee Rock for a night layover. He hadn’t been off the trailer 5 minutes and Scott asked if he is for sale. We couldn’t think of a better place for this stud to cover cows.

Wise’s Redwood 316 was named Senior Division Champion this morning in Louisville at the North American. Sired by an Ash Valley bull and out of a Western Canadian bred cow. Genetically he’s built to cover cows, phenotypically…….he’s a stud.
