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.

This picture came from a customer a couple months back. Love their program....moderate, efficient, maternal cow crossed with a high growth terminal bull. This picture dispels the myth that you need a big cow to raise a big calf. If your looking for maternal genetics like this, be at Platte Livestock Market Tuesday December 6 at 1PM. For more info on bulls that produce calves like this contact Ben Bogenhagen at Triple B Simmentals.
