2026 BULLS
Click on the sale book cover to download the information on the bulls that I will have available in 2026 or view them all below. This is a quality set of bulls that will be ready to go to work. They will be sold private treaty, starting January 31 at the Basin Bull Preview. All of the bulls, both Angus and Simmental, have been genetically tested to confirm parentage, assure there are no major genetic defects, and to provide more accurate EPD’s. The bulls will remain at the feedlot until April 1, at which time I will help deliver or make arrangements for delivery. Of course, if you need your bull before then or need to have them fed longer, we can help with that too. Every bull sold will have passed a trich test, breeding soundness exam, and semen test by April 1. The bulls were PAP tested at the end of January.
If viewing on a mobile device, the pictures will be below the description of each bull.
SLED Craftsman 2504
Tag: 1G7
This bull’s structure has impressed me since day one. He’s stout made with substantial bone mass for an Angus bull. His mother is a beautiful cow that has raised some very attractive bulls over the years. His sire, Craftsman, was the number one sire for registrations in both 2024 and 2025. Craftsman’s progeny are known for expressive muscle, long bodies, and explosive growth and balance. This bull will be no exception.

SLED Step Up 2506
Tag: 560
Out of Step Up and an eleven-year old cow, this bull is one that will work on cows and really would excel in a variety of operations. Step Up sons are known for their ability to make females with great udders, all while improving foot quality, and carcass traits. For those of you that run in areas with limited feed, this bull posts great numbers for dry matter intake and $EN.

SLED Easy Decision 2507
Tag: A14
Maternal has been quite the buzzword in the industry the past few years, but when I say this bull excels at many maternal traits, I mean it. His EPD’s and $ values back what I think he excels at. From good calving ease numbers, a good SC EPD, breed leading FL (functional longevity) and $M, amongst many other high ranking traits, this bull will thrive in a cowherd that is really looking to improve those maternal traits. His dam is moderate sized, with a great udder. She has a 363 day calving interval and is due with her 12th calf this spring. As an added bonus, the cow family behind this bull is super fertile. For those truly looking for those maternal genetics, this is the bull for you.

SLED Craftsman 2510
Tag: A40
The bulls out of this cow have always been very masculine and have been customer favorites multiple times. This is another bull that I think could work in a variety of operations and will catch everyone’s eye as they drive by. His thirteen year old dam still looks great and has a 359 day calving interval and 104 weaning ratio. Genomically, he lands in the top 25% or better for BW, DMI, Teat, Udder, FL, $EN, HS, RE, and $M.

SLED Hometown 2515
Tag: 270
The Hometown bulls have been popular for a few years now and this bull should be no exception. Although he has decent CE and BW numbers, I’d recommend only using this bull on larger framed heifers or cows. If you sell cattle in a pasture to plate program, this bull would make a great addition to your herd with MARB, RE, and FAT EPDs all in the top 30% or better of the breed. If you take a closer look at his $ values, you’ll find an $EN in the top 5%, $M in the top 10%, $G and $C in the top 15%, and $B in the top 25%. His dam has a weaning ratio of 104 and has previously had a bull lead the UBIA bull test as a top gaining bull.

SLED Alternative 2516
Tag: G04
If you are looking for a guaranteed heifer bull, this is the one for you! With a CED of 16 and BW EPD of -3.7 and the structure to match the numbers, you can’t go wrong with this one. His dam has a birth weight ratio of 90, further adding to the proof that this will be a great bull for heifers. I’ve used this bulls dam in my SimAngus program as well and last year her bull caught the eye of all of my customers as I delivered bulls. If you are looking to retain daughters, this bull also has teat, udder, and functional longevity EPD’s in the top 10% of the breed.

SLED Alternative 2522
Tag: 1G5
This bull and 2523 are very closely related, with the same sire and same maternal grand-dam. This bull is out of an eleven year old cow that has a 106 weaning ratio. While his numbers may not show the explosive growth that some people desire, I think the real-world data proves that he will still add some pounds to your calves. His pedigree is stamped with the Certified Angus Beef logo, meaning he should also do well in operations that raise beef to sell directly to customers.

SLED Alternative 2523
Tag: J11
The young dam of this bull has had three bull calves and they’ve all went and performed well for their purchasers in the first couple years of work. This bull will work great on heifers. As he matures, I think this will be a very attractive, moderate made bull that still has some power in his pedigree. To me, this bull combines the right amount of maternal and terminal traits to work in a variety of programs.

SLED Rest Easy 2503
Tag: L07
I’ve loved this bull since the day he was born! He’s the only purebred simmental bull I have available this year and he certainly won’t disappoint. He is a stout made, well structured bull with plenty of muscle expression and style. This bull will work well on heifers, with a top 15% CE EPD and top 2% BW EPD. His first-calf dam did a great job raising him on a hot, dry summer.

SLED Bravo 2517
Tag: K11
This flashy SimAngus bull will catch your eye. He is deep bodied and one that always stands just right. Out of a young cow, this bull is also one that will work on heifers, yet still add plenty of pounds to his calves. His young dam has a really nice udder and plenty of milk. I think this bull has potential to do well in several different types of operations. He does have two very small white spots on his head.

SLED Bravo 2519

For cows only, this ¾ simmental powerhouse will certainly add some pounds to your calves. His EPD’s land him in the top 20% for WW and top 30% for YW. He’s a stout made bull with considerable circumference of bone. To me, he displays more simmental characteristics than any other bull I have offered. Not only that, his EPD’s also indicate that he will sire some calves that will hang heavy and have larger than average ribeyes. This bull does have a small white spot on his head.

SLED Bravo 2520
Tag: E08
For my customers that have never purchased simmental genetics, but always been curious about them, I think this bull would be an excellent fit. He has some of the great simmental traits, but is still ¾ angus and solid black. His mom is my largest cow, so he will be one that will add some frame size and substance to your calves. I would recommend this bull for use on cows only as he has been big since day one.

SLED Bravo 2525
Tag: 802
As a mid-April calf, this bull has taken off at the feedlot, gaining 4.15 pounds per day through the first weight interval. This bull is made right and backed by a moderately sized, fault-free cow. I’d recommend this bull for use on cows only, but he is a well rounded bull that should check a lot of the boxes for commercial producers.

SLED Bravo 2527

As a late April calf, this bull is the youngest at the feedlot, but is holding his own against much older and larger bulls in the feedlot. At twelve years old, this bulls mother has proven herself as a great one, with a birth ratio of 95 and weaning ratio of 105. Her bulls have performed well for ranchers at high altitudes and this bull should be no exception. Throughout the summer, this bull caught my eye for his structural correctness and added muscle expression.
