Beefmaster Breeders & Friends
As the fresh green grass begins sprouting through the fire-charred black landscape of the picturesque Flint Hills, spring is definitely in the air. With the changing of the seasons and spring in full flourish, the annual Nextgen Diamonds of the Flint Hills and Spring Classic sales become the central focus for cattlemen around the country. Spring signifies the start of new beginnings and fresh crops. It also creates images of baby calves in the pastures and new matings being created. Just like spring creates an opportunity for newness, so does the annual Nextgen Spring Classic.
Along with a cutting-edge set of herd bulls, the Diamonds of the Flint Hills Female sale delivers an exciting and fresh set of donor prospects and replacement females that can bring new life to any program. Each year, Nextgen turns up the heat with even more exciting matings, genetics, and performance traits needed to advance our industry and the Beefmaster breed. This year’s Spring Diamonds of the Flint Hills sale will feature both the best from Nextgen Cattle Co and from many of their cooperating producers. On Thursday night, April 16th, the opportunities and excitement will come to life as the 2026 Diamonds of the Flint Hills at the Spring Classic.
This year’s offering goes further than ever before to offer you, the customer, unprecedented opportunities to acquire the kinds of genetics and females needed to bring a freshness to your program. Topping the list in this spring’s event is the unbelievable chance to purchase the highly proven donor, Red Queen. Imagine the instant impact a breed renowned donor like this could create for you. Along with her, breeders will be able to evaluate the first progeny of King Air and several other new performance sires such as Mile High that are redefining excellence within the breed. This is an extremely unique and elite offering is one you won’t want to miss.
It’s the time of the year to consider bringing a freshness and enhancement to your program and the Nextgen Spring Classic and Diamonds of the Flint Hills is the place to start. Feel free to reach out to myself, Trey Scherer at Strategy Cattle or any of the Nextgen sales team. I look forward to seeing you in Paxico, KS where your program can bloom with flowers of spring.

Valued Customers & Friends
It is our privilege, along with our consignors, to welcome you to the Spring Edition of the Diamonds of the Flint Hills. This year we celebrate 10 years in the Beefmaster business, and this offering reflects our time and commitment to the breed.
Since our founding, our mission has been to push the Beefmaster breed to new heights and to be innovative in our use of both technology and our eyes. Each page in this catalog reflects that mission, carefully selected females that blend phenotype with genotype and pedigree with performance. These females combine cows like Destiny, Oasis, Black Ruby, Reba, Rhiannon and Diamond of Soul with the most elite performance sires in our program: NG Brett, NG Leonidas, NG King Air, NG Pine Tar and MCK Flint Rock. On the group average, they rank in the top 15% of the breed for WW, YW, $M and $T.
This sale offers what we believe is one of the finest opportunities that we have ever offered in the foundation donor, NG Red Queen. She has made her mark at NextGen, and on the breed, being the dam of the top selling female at the convention sale two years in a row. Her extreme fertility is the only reason we feel that we can part with her. Someone will have the opportunity for her to elevate their herd as she has ours.
We are pleased to be joined by ten of our great friends and cooperators to bring you the very best of NextGen influenced genetics from across the country to showcase what the Diamonds of the Flint Hills sale can do for your program.
On behalf of the entire team at NextGen Cattle Company, we thank you sincerely for your interest and look forward to seeing you in Paxico on Thursday, April 16th. Sincerely,
females THE NEXTGEN

The first offering from the #5 Syndicate and she is unique being the first daughter of the $140,000 NG King Air to be offered at auction. She’s a combination of elite marbling genetics with a dam that scanned a 7.68 adjusted IMF with next level maternal and style. Her paternal grandmother JH Rhiannon is still one of the best animals of any breed to walk the Flint Hills of NextGen and her mother is an absolute striking, great uddered young cow.

3/4 sister to the lot 17 that comes out of Chris Keller’s J Lo donor.

Her recipient dam sustained an injury raising her, which set her behind at weaning and yearling. But as you can see in the video and in person, she has caught the rest of the group. The combination of Firestone and Destiny is evident in the bull offering, and the addition of Solution, bringing in Oasis and Bengal Baby, makes the calf that this female is carrying extra exciting.
