Deep sided, stout, and clean fronted, this bull combines power with look with an outcross pedigree! A class winner at the Iowa State Fair as a calf, he offers the kind of balance and structural correctness that stands out both in the ring and in production. Semen checked and ready to go to work, his daughters will be the kind to make ideal replacement females for any program.
His maternal sister was the high seller at the Hawkeye Simmental sale last fall.
His sire, LLSF Reality Check K29 is a full sib to LLSF Dauntless!

Thankful to be able to spend a wonderful Easter weekend with family and celebrate someone’s birthday. Happy Birthday to the livestock loving girl that is typically camera shy! Nothing like celebrating your birthday by AI’ing cows and calving out one of our donors today. We are thankful for everything you do Bridget, have a great day!

What a fun weekend! We really enjoyed the opportunity to watch the Langley family exhibit a few heifers they purchased from us last fall. It was great to see them back in the show ring, and the cattle looked excellent! Keep up the good work!
Per usual, Ethan also enjoyed himself doing his favorite things while at the show. Hanging out with Grandma and Grandpa, playing with trucks and learning something with Aunt Bridget!

A week late, but we wanted to give a shout out to both the Clarahan and Swope and families. You both did a great job getting your heifers ready and well presented at the Iowa Beef Expo! Looking forward to see how these two do the rest of the summer!

Lot 10, our last remaining heifer is a buzz saw and is ready for the chips! She has been successful shown and is first year showman broke. Her dam was champion Simmental at her county in 2022 and found banners at several jackpot shows that same summer. Her grandam and great grandam were champion Simmental at ISF in 2018 and 2016. Power in the blood, grab that halter and make some memories!
