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.

Hidden Prairie Ranch will be offering 35 head of F1 baldy 2nd calvers, 75 A.I. bred F1 and angus bred heifers, and 50 natural bred heifers Tuesday, December 6 at Platte Livestock. They will begin calving in early March and have been sorted into calving windows based off ultrasound preg check. 2nd calvers were bred to Koupals B&B Apollo 9030 and his full brother Apollo 0015. Heifers were A.I. bred to Apollo 9030 and cleaned up with Redland Rainmaker 1218 (he live bred 63 out 75 heifers). We have always strived to produce maternal cattle that take care of themselves and we expect this set of females to be no different. These heifers are not "pen raised." They were bred out on grass and are expected to survive without a wagon full of silage driving by them everyday. If you would like any more info feel free to contact Mark 605-680-4259. Thanks.

About Us

Hidden Prairie Ranch is a commercial family operation that is involved in almost every aspect of the cattle industry. We retain our own heifers, sell calves off the cow, background calves, finish calves out, sell cattle on a grid system, and run yearlings out on grass. We have had the opportunity to see firsthand what kind of genetics work in all these different situations. There are several important traits to look for in cattle, but in our mind, maternal efficiency and fertility trump everything else.

There are countless studies that show feed cost and bringing new cows into your herd as being the biggest expenses in any cattle operation. Sixty-dollar grid premiums are nice but they mean nothing if we spent an extra hundred dollars feeding that calf’s mother. The same could be said for extra pounds at weaning time. In the end, net profitability never lies. We put an emphasis on maternal traits while seeking to keep a balance on all other traits that add profit. Our biggest goal for you as a customer is for our cattle to add overall profitability to your operation.
