Often times having too many options is worse than having limited options. Sifting through thousands of bulls across dozens of sites can give you a migraine. Or perhaps you only need a straw or two, but you don't want to pay $300 in shipping just for $50 on straws. As you scroll down, you can look at the bulls in my inventory. I've tried to choose bulls that are masculine, structurally sound, and well-rounded individuals in terms of their genomics or EPDs. I am confident that no matter which bulls you choose, you will be adding wonderful quality genetics to your operation.
I've chosen nine beef bulls and three dairy bulls to be in my line up. You do not need to use me as your AI tech to purchase any straws. Scroll down to read a little more about each individual bull.
$37/straw | Black Angus
This guy really caught my eye with his masculine physicality. He ranks extremely well in the carcass traits, while still scoring fairly well in his maternal traits. One thing that stands out about him is that he is not a calving ease bull, so you may not want to use him on your heifers.
$32/straw | Black Angus
Kessler's Commodore is a really nice overall bull with high marks in his maternal traits. If you cross-bred him, you could get some really nice daughters that will continue to reproduce for generations to come.
$33/straw | Black Angus
Very similar to Kessler (they do share grand sires after all), however, where Kessler improves maternal traits, Hickok is going to improve your feed efficiency in his sons and daughters, as evidenced by his RADG, DMI and $EN.
$32/straw | Charolais
Heterozygous polled
This guy has both the brains and the brawn. He's masculine without being coarse. He scores well against other Charolais for maternal traits and his carcass traits are nothing to sneeze at either. Another really nice all around bull.
$32/straw
1/2 American Aberdeen Angus
American Aberdeen currently do not have any EPD's, however, he is described as easy calving and powerful, which are common traits to the American Aberdeen breed. They are extremely fertile and incredibly efficient on grass, even Alaskan grass!
$32/straw | American Hereford
I really like the look of this guy. In my mind he's the classic bull image.
Amongst his breed he ranks particularly well in his offsprings' weaning and yearling weights, as well as his scrotal circumference (meaning better fertility).

$37/straw | Red Angus
Despite his imposing frame, this boy scores well on low birth weight, yet his weaning and yearling weights rank amongst the top bulls in his breed. And he does it without you having to funnel expensive feed, as indicated by his DMI and ADG scores.
$47/straw | Simmental
Homozygous polled
You will proclaim your love for WS Proclamation for the improvement he adds to your maternal traits. He's also a big sweetheart, as he ranks in the top 2% for docility traits amongst his breed.
He ranks extremely well across the board, and will be a welcome addition to your herd.

$39/straw | Holstein
A2A2
Really this is a really nice looking boy. I was impressed with his masculinity and his daughters' milk production. You can look at more if his traits at the link below.
$32/straw | Brown Swiss
A2A2
Jasper's size was really what attracted me to him. He's a good overall sire that adds teat length and offers a strong fore udder attachment.

$32/straw | Guernsey
A2A2
I really like this guy's looks. Structurally he's very attractive, and his daughters are more predisposed to longer teats and a strong fore udder attachment. Within the Semex Guernsey genomax lineup, Denzel is a solid choice.

$35/straw | Speckle Park
I am quite excited to share this lovely boy! Speckle Parks are a breed that is gaining popularity for their carcass quality and maternal traits. Trade Secret is known for passing on his stellar maternal traits and is a calving ease sire. Read more about him at the link below!
$32/straw | Charolais
He may look like a behemoth, but his size belies his outstanding calving ease. He is currently the only bull in my inventory with calves in Alaska. He generally shortens gestation by seven to ten days, and has so far consistently put out 70 lb calves. And that's consistent even in large fram SIm angus cows. Tank also has exceptional maternal traits, ranking in the top of his breed for maternal calving ease, milk production, teat structure and udder structure. He has already made some gorgeous Alaskan heifers and I'm excited to see how they turn out!
$32/straw | 100% Aberdeen
Homozygous polled
This handsome boy shows all the great attributes of the Aberdeen breed. If you want animals that are extremely efficient gainers on grass, the Aberdeen is an excellent choice. If you want highly fertile females that will be long term residents in your herd, you'll be more than satisfied with the heifers out of this bull.
