Don’t Bet The Ranch, Build It Better

IR RANCH MAKER M787

Perhaps the best SimAngus bull to surface in recent years! RANCH MAKER is a rare combination of data, pedigree and phenotype and might be the most heavily used young sire in the breed. An unheard-of combination of birth to yearling spread, end product merit while still being in the top percentiles for both STAY and API. A physically flawless phenotype that impresses you for his added structural integrity, body, thickness and overall eye appeal. Backed by a dam that is doing everything right and building her own story at the Irvine Ranch in Kansas. Use RANCH MAKER as the next generation SimAngus sire that can move you forward no matter the goals.

LT ANCHOR

We have been asked, and so we delivered…sexed FEMALE semen is now available on the young sensation LT ANCHOR.

A bull that is backed by a pedigree we trust, a data set we can’t pick a hole in, and a cow family that is built to last. LT ANCHOR was a featured highlight of the 2025 LT Bull Sale; bringing a calving ease package that can improve scrotal, HP, feet and offer a top end $M. Backed by one of the most admired cows in the breed, as cattlemen from around the globe have noted her as a great one and a flush topped the entire Foundation Angus Sale for $72,500 at the 2026 National Western. Anchor has been setting the world on fire this spring for both commercial and seedstock producers alike. Look for Anchor to be a mainstay that can inject a potent cow family and maternal traits in a well-rounded, phenotypically correct package.

Common threads between these bulls are no-holes data packages, storied breeding programs, and time-tested cow families to back them up. Prefixes like LT, K C F, SITZ and ELLINGSON need no introduction. The breeding philosophies of these legendary programs are reflected in the phenotypic quality and elite genetic profiles of this group of bulls. Most of these bulls either have been or will be used heavily back into the herds they came from and are being utilized by some of the most astute breeders from coast to coast.

LUCCHESE

The heir apparent…but even more!

Lucchese is taking the industry by storm as the go to replacement for his late sire PATRIARCH while offering more in terms of phenotype, performance and with an extra generation of maternal potency backing him. His first sons to be offered to the public were gathered up quickly at Rock Creek Angus and he sired the top seller at the 2026 Gartner-Denowh bull sale. LUCCHESE offers a fault free kind with added muscle, substance and bone for a bull with his degree of calving ease. Backed by generations of pathfinder sires and the maternal kind the GDAR and RC prefixes stand for; there is no question why LUCCHESE is one of the most widely used and sought after young bulls in the breed.

Because of their relevant experiences, your peers frequently offer the most informative commentary on what bulls are doing in their herd. Thus, like we’ve done in recently, we thought it would be helpful to share progeny reports from the folks who do what you do every single day. Please let us know if this aids in your genetic decision-making. Here are four Angus sires that are underutilized in the business.

4 Reasons to Implement A.I.

▪️Improving reproductive management and efficiency
▪️Maintaining efficiently, productive herds
▪️Accessing the best genetics in the world at an affordable price
▪️Unleashing the power of heterosis and breed complementarity

Added work, facility costs, and stress concerns remain the primary concerns for a majority of producers regarding A.I., and they’re valid. However, these barriers can be overcome through the implementation of sound stockmanship practices. Don’t let these perceived barriers hold your herd back from reaching its full potential. Ultimately, when you put pen to paper, you’ll find that a pregnancy created via A.I. can range from a cost equal to that of turning out a cleaning bull to one that is significantly cheaper if you are buying sale-topping, high genetic-merit bulls.

A.I. and synchronization are powerful tools, unlocking your herd’s potential through access to the best genetics.
