Whether it was ‘on the hill’ or ‘down in the yards,’ spectators were sure to find some of the finest in Select Sires genetics at the 2012 National Western Stock Show in Denver, CO.  Progeny of our Angus, Simmental, Shorthorn, Club Calf (and more) lineups were highlights in their respective divisions fetching high dollars, blue ribbons & purple banners all week long.

Customer satisfaction at its best was observed in the yards as various Angus breeders from Texas to Wisconsin displayed progeny from bulls like New Day 454 & War Party as their featured exhibits.  These two bulls, like a growing number of individuals in our battery, offer so much on paper and still make the kind of cattle one can appreciate on the halter as well.

On the hill, a March 2010 daughter of Grandmaster, was named Grand Champion Simmental female.  The Mueller family of MN has had great success with this female as they exhibited her up and down the show road  in 2011, and sold her has a sale feature and top selling lot in the National Simmental Sale just one day prior to the National Show.

Some of the first progeny of one of Select’s newly featured Club Calf sires, First Impression, were the talk of the folks that walked the show cattle pens on the north end of the yards.  What a powerfully constructed, heavy muscled group of First Impression bull calves we saw from Nebraska!

It is great to see more and more people jumping on the Select Sires train.  From all accounts at the NWSS, it is certainly paying off.
