BULLS FOR SALE
Bulls sold private treaty at the ranch.
This spring we have a limited number of 15-18 month old bulls along with one outstanding 2-year-old bull that we used in 2025 to breed heifers. We encourage you to review the information on these uniquely bred bulls. Be sure to go to our Donor page to see write ups on Donors 906, 5119, 332 and check out our Sire page as well.
Our program is based on breeding low-input maternal genetics that work not only in our environment but also in 21 states across the country. We focus on longevity/functionality with special attention to feet and udders and proven performances found in actual numbers produced in our environment on limited inputs. We look for a balanced set of EPD’s including but not limited to BW, WW, Milk, $EN, HP and docility. We do not like to rely on numbers or composite formulas without knowing the assumptions behind them.
As for our operation, we do not feed our cows silage. Along with salt and minerals, they only get on average 4-5 round bales of hay in the winter, and Feed in a Drum during breeding season. We only provide a small amount of creep feed to bunk break our calves. AND, we do NOT trim our cows’ feet, and unlike some breeders we do NOT believe one can breed bad feet out of one’s genetics.
We guarantee you that any Black Grove bull you purchase will never have had his feet trimmed! For the record Black Grove has never trimmed the feet of a bull we have raised or sold.
