A top sire and top dam got it right with WCR Turnpike. We’re excited for Links & Owens! Turnpike may not love the Texas heat, but he’ll enjoy the heck out of missing SD winters!

Excited for Treaty Oak’s future! He’s got all the right pieces.

Sincere Thank You to all our family, help, and long time buyers for your support and confidence in WCR genetics. We’ll start preparations for the 58th Annual Sale tomorrow. Tonight we’ll enjoy fellowship and be grateful for the day (and the rain.) God Bless!

Sale Day! Know before you go:

1) All posted information and live viewing & bidding on DV Auction. https://www.dvauction.com/video_catalogs/12773

2) Some of the top bulls have updated genomically enhanced EPDs, Lot 1 for example has a $TSI of $301.

3) Lots 1, 23, 57 all traveled 350 miles to Western Sires to put up semen before the sale. They all have semen ready to shipping immediately. They appear much greener than the rest of the bulls as they are putting weight back on, but make no mistake they are 3 of the very best bulls in the sale.

4) Please review the delivery policy and let us know if you have any questions.

5). Call or text Sterling 605.203.0137 or Stetson 605.203.2040 if we can be of service.
