WELCOME TO OUR 2026 OFFERING!
This year will go down in the record books as one of the best in this area. One of my neighbours claims; “that this country will continue to test you. Then when you are ready to quit, it will give back in spades.” That was exactly the case on June 20, 2025. The first multiple inch rainfall in 5 years finally germinated our crops and brought drought dormant hayfields to life. Presently there is more feed in stack yards and grain in storage than in the past decade.
It is no secret that the cattle market is on a tear. Low cattle numbers have caused sale receipts to more than double in the past 3 years. For the first time in recent memory, the cow calf sector is profitable.
Our 2026 sale group offers rugged, ranch raised bulls that should appeal to a variety of operations. Big power bulls that will sire calves that deliver the performance and muscle that feedyards crave. Smooth made, long bodied bulls that work in ranch settings to deliver calving ease without sacrificing the extension and marketability that Limousin cross calves and yearlings are known for. Surefire heifer bulls that we are confident can be walked in any heifer program to deliver high conception rates and near flawless calving.
It is well known that the biggest single client for our purebred program is our own commercial herd. Our program is focused on genetics and bull development to deliver a bull that is easy to handle, structurally sound and sires feeders that top the market. These bulls have been handled by saddle horses, quads, pick ups and on foot. Most of our ranch bulls are retired because of old age. We look forward to visiting with you in person, on the phone, by text message or through a response to our social media posts.
We appreciate your continued support of our program.
Deepest regards,
Tim, Lois and Clayton Andrew
Andrew Sting Pirouette 21M has been on our radar since weaning. Long bodied, with a big hip and top, this traditional colored, homo polled herd sire prospect is the model of the Limousin bull we strive to raise. This tried-and-true mating of B Bar Sting to a Tref Zipper daughter started out with an 84 lb birthweight, had a 711 lb weaning weight and a yearling weight of 1223 lbs.
421 is the complete package; docile, true Limousin shape and top of pen in testicle development.
Sire: Dam: 1 Lot
Andrew Sting 62Z Murphy 23M is one of the most complete black bulls we have ever raised, eye appealing from both the side and rear. Our only black bull in this year’s offering found many admirers among the 35,000 attendees in our main gate display pen at last summer’s Ag in Motion Farm Show. 423’s dam is one of the few black animals in our herd and is the only CLA Dam of Distinction our program has produced thus far.
Andrew Kingsman HWK Molly 42M is an easy feature in this year’s offering. Impressive in his profile, this smooth striding, sound footed, dark cherry red, homo polled herd bull prospect checks all the boxes. He had the second highest weaning weight of 799 lbs, and topped the yearling pen weight at 1268 lbs. On ultrasound scan day he had the largest ribeye at 15.00 sq. in. and lean meat yield of 68.84.
If you like them quiet, dark colored, smooth, sound and deep sided with big testicle development, give 42M a closer inspection.
Sire: Dam: 3 Lot
Andrew Papa Pace 6M is the most massive bull in our offering. Large in every dimension, this sound made, easy moving prospect should sire the kind of feeder steers that will perform.
Maternal brothers sold to R & L Farms and Chris Sonmore.
Andrew Sting 160Y 31M is a heavy haired, well muscled bull with strong testicle development. His full brother by B Bar Sting was sold to our sale partner, Twisted K Limousin in 2023.
STING 160Y 31M
Andrew Sting Marbeline 18M is a Sting son out of Clayton’s favorite Pinnacle View show cow, Evaline. He is an easy-going bull with a superior hair coat that weaned at 733lbs. Maternal brothers were purchased by Brian Frazer and Ridge Ranch. All female siblings have been retained in our herd.
Andrew JW Peacock 56M despite being the youngest bull in our offering is coming to the sale in the top quarter of the pen weight wise. This homo polled by test prospect weaned at a very strong 674 lbs, despite only being on his dam for 180 days. Maternal brother sold to Double O Cattle Co. (Austin and Dana Kosolofski)
Andrew Papa Peacock 20M has the kind of performance we all strive for. Born at a meager 84 lbs, 20M exploded to an adjusted weaning weight of 740 lbs. His pedigree ranks him in the top 1% of the breed for milk and above breed average in 9 of the 13 traits tracked by the CLA.
Andrew Sting Navybean 48M is another B Bar Sting son that data wise is a top performer. Born in mid May to a second calving Bentley daughter at 91 lbs, he exploded to the top for an adjusted weaning weight of 844 lbs and continued to grow to nearly top the pen for adjusted yearling weight at 1253 lbs. His EPD profile ranks him in the top 5% of the breed for birth weight, top 10% for calving ease and milk and top 15% for stay ability and carcass weight.
Andrew Kingsman Princess 35M is another cherry red herd sire prospect who projects calving ease and performance. Small headed, smooth shouldered with exceptional length he was born at 88 lbs from one of our top cow families. He weaned at an adjusted 767 lbs and continued to gain to near top of the yearling pen at 1227 lbs. His scan data showed he had one of the largest ribeye at 14.9 sq. in. and a lean meat yield of 67.07.
Andrew Sting Gloria 38M is another heavy hipped, stout made, traditional colored bull that makes the grade. This Sting son out of one of the few Tref Freewheeling daughters we were able to retain after his brief tenure as a herd bull due to injury. 38M had a very moderate 80 lb birthweight.
Andrew Sting Murphy 70C 8M was born at a moderate 85 lbs. His EPD profile places his pedigree at the top 3% of the breed for calving ease maternal and top 10% for calving ease direct. Maternal brother sold to Brook House Farm (Glyn Thomas) in 2023
Andrew Sting Pace 7M was born at a very moderate 81 lbs and gained extremely well on his 3-year-old mother to an adjusted 693 lbs. His EPD profile within the breed ranks him in the top 10% for calving ease direct and birthweight and the top 15% for milk. Maternal brother sold to Ed Rosenau Sr and Jr in 2024.
Andrew 16H Toni 43M is the only JDA 16H son in the offering. Born at our baseline birth weight of 91 lbs, he gained to an adjusted 727 lbs at weaning on his attractive B Bar Bentley momma. His EPD profile places him in the top 10% of the breed for calving ease direct and the top 15% for gestation, birth weight and yield grade.
When doing comments on this group of bulls, their profiles and data were a repeat time and again. These small headed, flat shouldered bulls have great body extension. They are consistently low in their birthweights, and by pedigree their EPD profiles show they are at the top of the breed for calving ease.
These bulls were all walked last summer on our own 100 commercial heifers. (Except 403 who was held back in case one of his herd mates was injured.).
In 2023 we started using these breed topping, calving ease genetics on our own heifers and have had incredible calving results. These first calvers then breed back easily and have been retained in our own herd or sold as breds. Any of their calves that we background sell at the top of the spring feeder sales.
15 Lot
We would like to thank our buyers from last year for supporting us in our first year of public offering and thank you to everyone who has expressed interest in our bulls. We’re extremely proud of our bulls this year – powerful performance, impressive natural growth and the kind of quiet, dependable docility that makes a real difference in our program.
This group has exceeded our expectations by letting their genetics do the work. As calves, they are raised on their dams only with no creep feeding. As weanlings, they grow on free choice hay with a little bit of pail-fed oats and as yearlings they spend the summer grazing on low land grass. We’re confident they’ll bring lasting value to your herd.
We are excited to be in our second year of selling bulls with Andrew Ranches and look forward to showcasing this year’s offering. We can’t wait to visit with you at the open house!
