Hidden Prairie Ranch

Why we’re doing this.

We ranch. We use horses every day. Good ones matter here.

Over the years, we’ve ended up with some exceptional mares — not because we set out to build a breeding program, but because they proved themselves to us through real work. They stayed sound. They stayed willing. They did their job day in and day out.

At some point, it made sense to take what we already rely on and turn it into another enterprise of the ranch — breeding horses that are built the same way: useful, honest, and made to last.

We’re not breeding paper. We’re breeding horses that have already earned their place here.

Our broodmare lineup:

• Docs Miss Jesse — proven producer with Genuine Doc, Docs Hickory, Peppy San Badger, Doc Bar influence
• Snippy Mitch — proven performance with high money earners Call Me Mitch, Metallic Cat, High Brow Cat, Colonel Freckles, Doc O’Lena, Poco Bueno, Leo bloodlines
• Daisy’s New Playmate — performance-minded mare by Nu Chex To Cash lines, staying under saddle one more year

Docs Miss Jesse and Snippy Mitch are both bred to KR Some Little Doc and due Spring 2026.

We believe the best horses come from good mares that have proven themselves, raised in real conditions, with purpose behind every cross.

Paisley helped move the sale heifers to fresh grazing last evening. These heifers will all be available in the near future. A.I. bred to Koupal’s B&B Diverse CED +11, BW -1.0, CEM +10, WW +83 (dam is the highly productive and proven B&B Blkbd Progress 3015 cow). Clean up bulls used were Grygiel Echo brothers (pedigrees loaded with maternal greats). These heifers are moved and handled with dogs and horses, cake broke to come to a side by side, and are rotationally grazed throughout the summer using hot fence. They grew up in the rugged breaks of the Missouri River. We don’t believe in pampering our cows. These heifers will survive in a harsh western environment or do just fine in farm country. They are backed by years of genetics that strive to produce hard working, low in put, practical, maternal cows. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions (605-680-4259) or stop out to the ranch to view them. Thanks

Roscoe (Registered Name: Docs Frosty Badger) will be available at a later date.
For now, he has important work to do—gathering yearling steers out of the Missouri River Breaks, moving replacement heifers through the bud box for ultrasounding, and gathering cow/calf pairs for pre-weaning vaccinations. He’ll also be sorting at weaning and assisting during shipping season.
In short, he’ll see thousands of head of cattle this fall. Once he has passed that real-world test, we will be ready to offer him to a new home.

Few pics of the heifers we will be offering tomorrow December 27 at Platte Livestock Market. 44 head of angus heifers A.I. bred to B Bar Black Mass 3045 (pictured at 8 years of age) due March 11. 18 head of F1 baldies bred to low birth weight bulls from HPR and Kemnitz Angus due March 25th to April 5th. Average weight on 2 trailer loads we tested was #1166. Ultrasounded 8/10/24 and confirmed pregnant 12/23/24 by Dr Tyler Grussing. Pre breeding shots this spring and 2 rounds of Scour Bos 9 as well as being poured with Cydectin 12/23/24. Year round Purina availa 4 mineral program. They are coming off cover crop and cornstalks. They are NOT "pen raised." Handled with horses, dogs, and cake broke to come to side by side. What truly sets these heifers apart is the country they were born and raised in, rough river break pastures that are high in selenium. These heifers will be very adaptability wherever they go. Their mothers are expected to graze the majority of the year and are given NO silage or distillers as part of the ration just hay and alfalfa. Any questions feel free to call or text 605-680-4259. Thanks.
