STECK S/N CHELSIE RN 575
sire. Red Knight
dam. Special Chelsie 0453H
Past champion at KC, NAILE, Congress and the 2021 Shorthorn Show Heifer of the Year for Keagan Steck

Sired by Red Knight and out of the legendary Special Chelsie 0453H — the 2021 Shorthorn Show Heifer of the Year — this May female brings together one of the hottest sires in the breed with a proven, elite donor.

The guesswork is gone here.
The quality is backed.
And the upside is real.

She’s built to compete at the highest levels, and when her show career is complete, she’s the kind you can confidently transition into your donor pen and expect a strong return on investment.
The popularity of Red Knight × the demand for the Chelsie cow family makes this one a unique opportunity.

Study her picture. Watch her video. Get ready — this one is awful special. Big thanks to Jake Nikkel and the entire crew for believing in this one.

This one is the real deal.
Sired by the elite TRUMP 210 (Trump x 210Z) and backed by an impressive Charisma x Primo/205 PB donor that Mason Walker successfully campaigned — the pedigree here is stacked with proven quality.
But she doesn’t just read good on paper…
She’s the kind that hits you from a distance and only gets better the closer you get.
✔️ Structure: A+
✔️ Body: A+
✔️ Disposition: A+
✔️ Pedigree: A+
Simply put — she’s wicked good.
We’re honored Jake Nikkel spotted her quality from afar and worked hard to get her on this sale.

We are incredibly thankful for the interest, bidders, and buyers who supported our FIRST ANNUAL BULL SALE.

Doing something new is honestly scary. For the past 13 years, our program has been hyper-focused on raising elite females... "the one" that can have a huge impact on a junior’s life and help propel programs forward. That part of our business is something we truly love.

When we sat down and asked ourselves how we could do even more to impact the industry, it became clear that offering sires out of our elite females was the next step.

But… we had never done that before. And the reality is, if you never try something new, it will certainly never succeed.

So we took every bull calf we raised, broke them, hauled them to Oklahoma to photo and video them on grass (instead of the snow and ice we have here), semen tested them, and presented them to the industry.

I can promise you that we put everything we had into making this an annual sale, and we already have even bigger plans to expand the offering in the years ahead.

In the meantime, THANK YOU to the crew here at home for getting the bulls broke, fed, and ready. THANK YOU to the incredible crew in Oklahoma who provided a location and helped us get them presented and pictured. THANK YOU to our friends who helped sell bulls, took the time to come look at them & encouraged us along the way.

And most importantly, THANK YOU to everyone who showed interest in the offering.

We are truly grateful for the support and are excited about what the future holds.

We couldn’t be happier for the Johnston/Fix crew!

Congratulations to Maggie Johnston on an outstanding job in the ring with “Bonnie” — STECK LUCY PT 523N, recently named Champion Chi-Composite Female at the 2026 VCCP.

This Primetime x Lucy MM 246K female represents everything we love about the Lucy cow family — look, structure, body, quality, and the kind of cows that make show heifers too.

We absolutely LOVE the Johnston/Fix team and are so thankful they continue to choose Steck Cattle. We’re starting to think they might be collecting Lucy's! 😉 Can't go wrong there.

Great work to Maggie Johnston in the ring and a special thank you to Wyatt, Taylor & Croix David Fix for the opportunity and support. We appreciate you all and are proud to see Bonnie hitting the backdrop.

Our hearts are full watching young showmen like Carter step into the ring.

At the Nebraska Cattlemen’s Classic in Kearney, Nebraska, Carter did an amazing job showing Barnstormer and Kelce to some great wins. But what meant the most to us was seeing the courage, determination and bravery he showed every time he went into the ring.

Showing cattle takes hard work and a lot of heart — and Carter showed all of that and more. Carter, keep believing in yourself and enjoying the journey. We are so proud of you.

A truly rare herd sire prospect from the legendary Chelsie cow family, whose influence and value sit at the very top of the Shorthorn breed. At a time when power, body shape, and genuine stoutness are in demand, few cow families have delivered with the consistency and impact of the one behind Earned Reputation.

He is the kind that checks every box, he's a real solution to many breeding problems — stout, powerful, and masculine, with exceptional foot size, center body, and a bold, rugged hip. Yet he remains sound from the ground up, balanced, and captivating in his presence. Backed by a cow family that has earned more national show-ring recognition over the past decade than any other in the breed, Earned Reputation represents both proven legacy and modern relevance.

Genetic defect free and built with extra substance and power, he fits multiple facets of the Shorthorn breed. Named to honor a cow family that has built an unmatched legacy, Earned Reputation stands as a cornerstone herd sire prospect for the future.

BW: 74 lbs.
Earned Reputation 478M, 4404869, was genomic tested by Express Livestock Genomics for three genetic defects. He was tested THF, PHAF & DSF.
We have submitted DNA to NEOGEN to have advanced genomics & AI Sire Qualifications tests ran on 2/3/2026.
