Owned with Hamilton Farms.
Top selling bull in our 2007 sale. Ideal 2014 son out of a Brave Heart x Tonto female. Mother, Grandmother, and Great Grandmother are all “Elite” females. Not to many herds have bulls like that. 2nd Top selling bull at Hamilton Farms was an Ideal 18S son selling to Ring Creek Farm for $10,500.
   
Sandy Bar P’Fred 41M (12 Sons sell in the Sale)
 
Owned with Deer Hill Ridge Angus Farms.
We purchased a ½ interest back in this bull to use on our heifers. We have never touched one heifer bred to this bull. Out of Hi Flyer 3B18 and out of a Brave Heart x Atlas cow it is almost the perfect combination. The mother of 41M is an “Elite Dam”.

Thousand Hills Credence 5N (25 Sons sell in the Sale)
 
Another outcross pedigree for us. CH 054 Rito 0100, Max 5A, Fortune, Enforcer. His two crops of calves have lots of natural thickness and will put the scale down. “Elite Dam”. A powerful set of Bulls this year.

This bull was retained for use at the Valley Blossom Ranch. With Sitz Alliance 6595, Obvious Trend, Bardolier 82C and Traveler 44U. This bull will not disappoint the most discriminating. The mother, 232K is an “Elite Dam”. Maternal + calving ease at its best.
