We had the chance to speak with Colorado cattleman Chad Cook recently. Chad owns and operates Bridle Bit Simmentals, near Walsh, Colorado.
The discussion delves into the cattle business, particularly the family's long involvement with Simmental cattle since the late 1960s. Their experience includes managing the bull farm at Colorado State University and pioneering in breeding practices. They emphasize hybrid vigor and the current positive impact of Simmental and SimAngus cattle on the industry. The specific adaptability of their cattle to tough grazing conditions in Southeastern Colorado was noted, alongside their commitment to integrating extensive data and feed efficiency into their breeding programs.
The family is holding an annual bull sale offering 90 Simmental and SimAngus bulls and 14 elite open heifers. The primary focus is catering to commercial cow-calf operators, emphasizing feed efficiency and carcass quality. The event will be both live and online, with emphasis on direct engagement and digital accessibility.

Schweitzer Red Angus Sale
Thursday Mar 19, 2026
Thursday Mar 19, 2026
Schweitzer Red Angus has an annual bull in female sale coming up tomorrow Friday, March 20th at the Beatrice 77 sale barn, Beatrice, Nebraska. I had a chance to catch up with Austin about their upcoming sale and their operation, so Austin, how did you get started?
"I grew up in a farming background. My parents never farmed with my grandpa did, so I just got out of passion for cattle from kindergarten up, whether it was bucket calves or anything like that. I acquired some cows in high school. Then through college, I worked at the Cow Calf Research Center for four years in Meade, Nebraska, which is affiliated with the University of Nebraska, and that's where my passion clicked in there during those college years."
Did you do any 4-H or FFA or anything like that?
"Yeah, I was blessed to be a state FFA officer. I can't remember what year that was now. 2001, somewhere in there. Yeah, I was heavily involved in FFA through high school, and then I would have been an officer my sophomore year in college."
What kind of cattle are you raising?
"So right now we have a unique operation. We have a seed sock herd, which is 90% red Angus. We do do a lot of black-eyed-ud red Angus. A lot of people in the area just want to stick with black, and I respect that. I like to have the opportunity to breed with Angus, the in-red Angus trade. Seedstock herd, and then we also run a feed yard. So we see it from the calf being tagged all the way to the calf getting on the truck to slaughter at our local packing houses. So it's kind of interesting."

Dan Reardon of Rocking R Red Angus
Tuesday Mar 10, 2026
Tuesday Mar 10, 2026
I've got Dan Reardon from Rocking R Red Angus on the phone.
Yeah, Dan, I noticed you recently moved to Nebraska. Can you give us a little background on your operation?
We are from Western Colorado. We moved to Nebraska Panhandle about two years ago. We ran Red Angus Cattle at high elevation in Western Colorado. We ran our cattle above Gunnison about 10,000 feet up there in the summer time. And our farm was in Montrose, Colorado about 6,500 feet. So we've been dealing with Red Angus high altitude genetics for years. We wanted to make a change for quite a while and two years ago, we were finally able to make that happen and chose the Nebraska Panhandle as our new place. Our ranch, like I said, is due south of McGrew. So we're kind of in between Bayard and Gering and just a little bit closer to Bayard.
Are you doing the same practices or is it different now?
We've changed some things. We definitely can create a lot more performance at the elevation we run cattle at now. We introduce genetics from other high altitude breeders. We did that for years, but after moving into Nebraska, we can incorporate a lot more performance into our genetics. We feel like we have an extremely maternal type of herd. The last two years, we've implemented a lot of performance into those genetics and our weaning weights and our yearly weights are significantly different from one we're running in Colorado. We are offering 40 head of yearling Red Angus Bulls. And we do have two, what we call hybrids, category threes, the registered Red Angus, but there are two of them in there that are not purebreds. So 40 yearling Red Angus Bulls in total.
That's Dan Reardon from Rockin' R Red Angus, now located south of McGrew, Nebraska. Saturday, March 14th at 1 p.m. Mountain.

Twin Creek Ranch Online Sale
Friday Mar 06, 2026
Friday Mar 06, 2026
Today's guest is Lauren Frick from Twin Creek Ranch in Kansas. Why don't you go ahead and tell us a little bit about yourself and how you got started in the cattle business, Lauren?
My husband and I have a pretty unique story. I grew up in Kansas with my dad running the ranch and raising cattle his whole life. My husband and I met at college and so he moved here from Illinois and we took over the cow herd about three years ago and mainly set out to be a registered herd and get everything to be percentage Simmental. So we're having our second annual bull sale coming up March 7th.
What were you both studying?
I actually have a degree in meat science and he studied animal science and so we've kind of been all over the country because we went to school in Illinois and then he moved just out to Coda. I moved to Arkansas and then we ended up back here in Kansas.
Did you cross paths because of the classes that you were taking were similar?
Yes, we cross paths mainly because of livestock judging. We both were on the team at Black Hawk College and then I went on to be on the livestock judging team at Kansas State and so livestock judging brought us together.
Livestock judging? Okay, that's another whole subject. What was that experience like?
Livestock judging is something that just means a tremendous amount to me because I actually grew up in the city limits in Wichita and I ended up getting involved with that when I started college and it's an experience that I just think every kid should have.

Breeding Program: Bryant's breeding approach emphasizes functional cattle with low maintenance, good disposition, and adaptability to extreme weather. He highlights new sires like Woodhill Reality and Boyd Justification, boasting strong DNA results and high performance.

Wednesday Mar 04, 2026
The conversation revolves around Kim Siebert from Henderson, Nebraska, preparing for his 36th annual cattle sale on March 7th. This year, the highlight includes the sale of champion bulls, including the heaviest black Angus weight-per-day-of-age bulls from the National Western Stock Show. The sale will be conducted both in-person at the farm and online via DV Auction, and comprehensive information, including pictures and data, is available on the new website, sdiamondangus.com.
Siebert has collaborated with Bullseye GX, a company focused on addressing congestive heart failure in cattle, particularly in the Angus breed. This year, Siebert's bulls have undergone testing for heart failure risks using predictive genomics, with results available on sale day. Siebert mentions significant reductions in heart failure incidence in herds employing such tests and plans to test replacement heifers and future AI program bulls to make informed breeding decisions.
The mild weather conditions in Nebraska are discussed, with Siebert mentioning a surprisingly comfortable winter, likely affecting the conditions of the upcoming sale. There is also a brief discussion on how Nebraska weather impacts cattle compared to Montana, illuminated by a friend's experience who preferred Montana's climate to Nebraska's extremes.

Tuesday Mar 03, 2026
Hale Broadcasting conducted an interview with Kenny Rogers from Wagon Wheel Ranch in Yuma, Colorado, discussing the operations and historical background of the ranch. Kenny detailed how the ranch, originally started by his grandparents with commercial cattle, transitioned to raising registered Angus in 1950.
Over the years, the ranch has adapted to changing marketing trends, moving away from traditional stock shows to online platforms for their sales, such as DV Auctions and their website. This shift to more efficient and less time-consuming sales methods was influenced by technological advancements and changes in industry practices.
Kenny also highlighted the current weather conditions affecting agriculture in the region. While the weather is favorable for calving, he mentioned the critical need for moisture for pastures and crops due to increasingly dry conditions and high winds in northeastern Colorado.

Cole Epley MLM Gelbvieh Sale
Friday Feb 27, 2026
Friday Feb 27, 2026
Upcoming Bull Sale: Cole Epley of Epley Cattle Company discussed the upcoming bull sale on March 1st, 2026, near Nelson, Nebraska. The sale will feature 38 bulls, primarily balancer breeds including black and red varieties, with a few three-way cross bulls (quarter Simmental, quarter Gelbvieh, and half Angus or Red Angus). The event includes viewing and a meal, with sales beginning at 2 pm.
Genetic Program and Benefits: Epley highlighted the benefits of using Gelbvieh genetics and balancer bulls, stressing their efficiency in heterosis. Epley prefers a 50-50 mix of Angus and balancer, adding a bit of Simmental genetics for versatility. This genetic strategy supports good udder quality, maternal abilities, and strong carcass traits.
Dams of Merit Distinction: Epley's program ranks eighth nationally for dams of merit and distinction, with 58% of their cows qualifying—far above the 5.7% average in the Gelbvieh breed. Despite their smaller herd of 150 cows, they maintain high standards in cow development and productivity.
Breeding and Management Practices: Epley employs minimal supplementation for heifers, which increases their independence and keeps them moderate in size. This practice also enhances breed-back rates and better prepares cows to teach their calves self-sufficiency, supporting a strong genetic foundation.

Travis Engelhard of EF1 Cattle Co

Wednesday Feb 25, 2026
Travis Engelhard of EF1 Cattle Company, located near Carpio, North Dakota is conducting an online sale that ends today!
"Both sides of our families, my wife Summer and I ancestors were homesteaders out here in North Dakota and basically we've had livestock and cattle around forever. Started out with this registered deal about five, six years ago. Been using the Horned Herford Bulls for many years on our Black Cows to produce F1s and decided to throw our hat in the ring and start raising some ourselves. We raise Horned Herefords. We have a smaller commercial herd of F1s like I said. But we're a true proponent of the Line 1 Horned Hereford cattle. They started out with several lines of these Herefords and ended up with one single line that made it through the line breeding. That's where the history of these Line 1 Horned Herefords comes from. We like them because you get a little more extra hybrid vigor than even a straight horned cattle do or the pulled. We like the Herefords for their thriftiness and ability to convert to forage. Also for their temperament is really good and when they're crossed on an Angus, it's there's nothing better than a true F1 Baldy for a range cow."
Now is this a live sale or online only?
"This is an online sale put on the platform of DV auction. We like how they handle things there. It's a timed event that closes on Wednesday at 8 p.m."
That was Travis Engelhard with the EF1 Cattle Company out of Carpio, North Dakota. That sale closes tonight at 8 p.m. Find a link directly on cattlemanscorner.com.

Beastrom Gelbvieh Ranch Bull Sale
Monday Feb 23, 2026
Monday Feb 23, 2026
The Cattleman's Corner is brought to you nationally by the American Gelbvieh Association.
Speaking of those Gelbvieh genetics, we have Brittney Spencer from the Beastrom Gelbvieh Ranch on the phone. Let's talk about the history of your program and then that sale you have today.
Well, my parents actually got started with my grandfather with his dad on the 1970s. They primarily ran a commercial cow-calf operation with cross-bred, more Angus-based type cattle. We're located in Pierre South Dakota, just five miles northeast of Pierre. The sale will be at the ranch on the 23rd and looks like we're going to have a nice day and we missed all the snow. So thankful for that, I guess, on some levels, but moisture is always welcome.
It should be a good day for you today.
Yeah, we're really looking forward to seeing everybody here at the ranch later today. We're excited to go through the cattle, show everyone what we have and try to help our customers find what they need for their programs.
What are the strengths of the Gelbvieh, do you believe?
I think that you get kind of the best of both worlds. You get a cow that is extremely hard-working, extremely versatile as far as environment goes. I think that whether you are trying to stay more on the Purebred Gelbvieh side or the Balancer side from a feedstock perspective, it gives you a really great option to offer your customers. A lot of our customers, they like to toy between different percentages, so they try to keep anywhere in between that 45 to 60%. So with the Balancers, you're offering anywhere from 25% Gelbvieh to 75% Gelbvieh.
More on that Gelbvieh breed in future episodes, but right now a reminder, find a link directly to Beastrom Ranch and their sale today on CattlementsCorner.com.

In that recent Booth's Cherry Creek Ranch sale, we noticed that there was a bull that went for $45,000. Let's learn more about Booth's Cherry Creek Ranch.
"I got started as a young boy. I was born and raised right on the ranch where the sale barn is here in Veteran Wyoming. Dad was an avid performance breeder and kept all the performance records and would submit them to the American Angus Association. And so this is in the mid 60s and so you know I'm five, six-year-old when I'm nine, I buy my first bread heifer out of Montana, a bred female and that was my first cow, then of course I was of age to be able to show them. I had a lot of Angus heifers in my 4-H project and did branch basically off a dad's breeding program." ~ Sean Booth from Booth's Cherry Creek Ranch.
