Our sale book has LIVE EPD’s. If they're important to you, you should refer to the online catalog in regard to spring calves. We printed catalog before many of the calves EPDs updated to reflect their genomic testing.

✔️ All calves genomic tested, parent verified, and registered.
✔️ All spring cows have been AI bred. *No herd bull* Most are 35-45 days post breeding. If they returned heat, we have or will AI again prior to sale. I will have calving dates posted next week as a supplement sheet on DV Auction.
✔️ We are adding more embryos. 😳

If at any time, you'd like to stop in prior to sale day, please do. May 18th is approaching quickly.

Lot 29 is one of those breedings that I was extremely proud of. H003s dam, B450 is a cow we considered flushing before we decided to disperse.

H003 got her length from SAV Supercharger. Study the pedigree, watch her move. Look at her heifer calf.

This is a pair that you won't regret building your herd with. Her dam is lot 28.

05/01/2024

This is one of those lots, that’ll bring some fine maternal genetics into the herd.

She has a heifer calf by Connealy Contender at side. The Contender progeny here have become some real nice fall replacement heifers.

Where else will you find a pedigree packed with this lineup?

People like those at Atocosa Farms is why it's been so difficult to disperse.

Thanks for the kind words!

One of my favorite matings to date. This Ease daughter was a wonderful first calf heifer with superb mothering ability from the moment she calved.

The calfs pedigree is 🔥

F58, my Everelda cow was “my” first purchase. I purchased her as a heifer and remember two cattlemen coming up and shaking my hand after acquiring her. Congratulating me on the purchase.

Every mating carefully planned. Bob was to never cross any lines when it came to what she got bred to.

This catalog page hits me hard. It encompasses MY breedings, all those nights lying awake, wondering how I’d breed her and her offspring. A fine set of females, I swore I’d never part with.

To close, Bob crossed that line and bred her to Doc Ryan on a “gut feeling” and Lot 1A should have been called “Dodds Big Argument” but that dust has settled and his gut was spot on. He’s an incredible bull calf and surely going to be a headliner at someone’s spring bull sale.

This cow is a real treasure. Not only in pedigree but in phenotype as well.

04/16/2024

My F58 cow, my pride and joy had a Doc Ryan calf this spring. She’s the cow for me, that’s going to hurt the most, seeing her go.

Her calf is a little tank. The one we always stop and admire while checking pairs on the terraces.

We have some incredible spring pairs to offer on our dispersal.

I’m here to tell you, with our hard culling practices, you’re going to see some beautiful udders, sound feet (never trimmed), and a strong mothering ability.

Had a herd visit the other day to go through our offering and he sent me the message below after he departed. It was an honor to hear that coming from him.

Dodds Dispersal Sale is just over a month away. Make plans to attend, May 18th!

04/11/2024

For those following our dispersal, Bob is picturing today.

We will be videoing the last weekend of April. So I anticipate by the 1st of May, we’ll have those videos live on DV Auction.

Our fall calves are weaned and looking very good.
Spring calves are coming into their own.

Breeding is underway. We’ll be able to catch any return heats before sale and ensure they’re bred.
Our Sensehub Heat Detection system will be an accurate way of determining pregnancy and calving dates. Calving dates will be available the week of the sale. All AI’d.

Our springs will be 3-in-1s with nice big calves at side.

Are you on the catalog list?

We worked fall calves yesterday. The Ba7 Oaks Bowmore calves continue to impress us.

Who is Ba7 Oaks Bowmore? Full brother to Pappy and Thor.

(1733 Recip) heifer calf, weighed in at 750lbs. She has gut, butt, and phenotype. A complete package. Her half sister (2030 recip) 730lbs and looking just as fly.

We used him as a flush project on both our prized donor and our donors daughter.

Embryos will be available on our upcoming dispersal sale, May 18th. Pay attention to our fall progeny out of those flushes when videos are posted.

These girls are unbelievable in type. Which KILLS me, knowing the years we’ve dedicated to breeding for a specific type and kind, have revealed themselves ten fold.

And on that note…

The last tanks that’ll be shipped to the farm.

Going to be a lot of “lasts” in the next couple months.

For those looking at picking up one or more females at our dispersion on May 18th, we chose to use only 3 sires this year this spring breeding. We chose these carefully. We were told what we “should” breed to, for highest momentum on sale day, however… Bob and I will not sell our souls, to sell cattle. We have built a reputation for phenominal females and will stick to our program when it comes to how we breed.

ALL our spring calves will be DNA/Parent verified/Registered prior to the sale. These calves are exciting. Sires include Basin Jameson, Montana Judgement, BA7 Oaks Bowmore, Doc Ryan, and B&B Pathfinder to name a few.

Fall calves have been DNA’d, weaned, and currently waiting for results back.

These aren’t cull cows, folks. These cattle are the heart of our program. Our BEST females. We’ve done heavy culling over the years, with no excuses!

I talk with Bob and Tonya Dodds from Belgrade Nebraska about their breeding philosophy,  donor cows and upcoming production sale.

Lot 4 was our Lot 1 last season. We pulled him from the sale and used him on our herd for spring breeding. He’s a site to behold when you see him in person and has become a favorite to those who’ve visited the last couple weeks.

Trich tested and ready to work; with a little age on him. He’s an aggressive breeder. With many of his traits in the top percentiles, he’ll bring real value to any operation.

Lot 1 is a Beal Breakthrough son. Dam is a Bar R Jet Black x Star Lassie, our prized donor and herd matron.

Very nice top line, paired with an unbeatable pedigree, and EPDs that are sure to compliment any program… you’ll want to take a closer look at him.

In my opinion, we have some of the most phenotipic Breakthroughs on the market.

Lot 67 had a bull calf this morning. She is a Square B Atlantis heifer and granddaughter of Riverbend Blackbird, the dam of THE Sandpoint Blackbird 8809.

This bull calf will have quite the pedigree behind him. I’ve attached a screenshot of his sires pedigree.

Rather happy the herd bull got her. 😁

Watch her move…

K70 weighed 1795lbs thru the chute yesterday. I dubbed him, Belly Dragger. Nothing but POUNDS and consistency at weaning, for Chain Breaker progeny. We know what that means come sale time. 💰

RB Chain Breaker has been a favorite sire group here. Bobs favorite heifer is a Chain Breaker daughter.

📣 We believe he works best, reintroducing him on SAV genetics.

📣 Shoot me a message if you’d like a catalog.
