ELK Angus Annual Production Sale 2026

Page 1


Dear Neighbors, Cattlemen, and Friends -

As we write this, the wind is howling again, determined to test even the most determined ranchers. Thankfully, it’s come with a mild winter so far, and we’re grateful for that. After the mild reprieve from drought we saw last summer, we’re hopeful Mother Nature keeps trending in the right direction and delivers the kind of snow and spring moisture that sets grass up to grow and cattle up to thrive. We know many friends across the region haven’t been as fortunate, and we’re keeping them in our thoughts while we all look ahead to greener days.

This past year marked a big transition for our cow herd as we settled into the new ranch and began utilizing our mountain lease in the Bighorns above Buffalo. Our program has long been rooted in cattle that work at elevation, and watching this set of cows and calves spend the summer in brush, rock, timber, and mountain meadows confirmed why we select the way we do. They traveled, grazed, and maintained condition exactly how we expect range cattle to perform. Trailing the herd off the mountain, down the face, and back home was a highlight of the season, and it was fun hearing compliments from riders, hunters, and campers who stopped to admire the calves’ phenotype and the docility of the cows all summer long. Functional, quiet, altitude-proven cattle continue to be the backbone of our program.

We’re excited about the depth of this year’s sale offering. Our first- and second-calf heifers stacked the deck with bull calves, and it shows in the strength of the calvingease portion of the sale. We’ve also reached deep into our replacement pen to offer an outstanding set of breds and replacement heifers. Letting them go isn’t easy, but we’re proud to share females that represent the direction and confidence we have in our cow herd. We believe this is one of the most uniform offerings we’ve assembled to date.

You’ll see a strong presence of Long Tidal Wave 2073 progeny early in the catalog this year. He continues to stamp calves with muscle, structure, and eye appeal, and we’re extremely pleased with the consistency he brings. Semen is available on Tidal Wave for those interested. We also have semen available on our young sires Can Am Defender and GA Spark 44, both proving to be dependable heifer bulls with exciting early calf crops. Contact Tyler for details.

As always, we encourage you to come early and study the bulls in their working clothes and visit with us about their mothers. The coffee will be hot, and we’re always glad to talk cattle. Join us March 17 at the Buffalo sale barn for tri-tip on St. Patrick’s Day, or bid with confidence online through DV Auction.

E L K LAKOTA K47-N11

• We start this year’s offering with a bull that has shined since birth and continued to excel every time he has been measured. Athletic, free moving, and loaded with natural muscle and shape, this bull came light and exploded with growth. He covers ground with ease and stays sound doing it.

• A true calving-ease herd bull prospect that still brings look and performance. He posted a 115 weaning ratio out of a young dam we have our eye on as a future donor. His granddam is a maternal sister to Musgrave Exclusive, adding elite cow power to an already impressive package.

She has raised Lot 1 three times and three high sellers. We believe so strongly in her cow power and longevity that we purchased her son back at seven years of age—still sound, still traveling to 8,000 feet every summer.

Genetic Opportunities

• Opportunities like this do not come around often. Y5 has truly stood the test of time, and while she continues to defy the odds, her time on this earth is naturally limited. She turns 15 years old this year and continues to amaze— still sound as a cat, with excellent feet, and still producing embryos every time she is aspirated.

• Her timeless pedigree of EXT × Traveler 6807 needs no explanation and never goes out of style. Y5 represents the kind of maternal foundation cow that programs are built around—fertility, longevity, and consistency generation after generation.

• This may be one of the final opportunities to tie into a truly unique and influential cow. A rare chance to invest in a female whose impact is already proven and whose legacy will continue for years to come.

We are offering one IVF aspiration through Trans Ova, available anytime after the sale, with a guarantee of six (6) transferable embryos and no cap. To date, Y5 has averaged nine (9) transferable embryos per aspiration, with a high of nineteen (19) Grade 1 embryos.

PINE COULEE LUCY Y5

GENETIC OPPORTUNITIES

EA PRIMROSE 5083

• This is an exciting opportunity to tie into an exceptional cow for the first time we’ve ever offered embryos of her. EA Primrose 5083 comes from the heart of the Ellingson Angus program and is a cow we will continue to build our program around. Her Pathfinder sire, Koupal Advance 28, has become synonymous with excellent maternal, and Primrose 5083 is arguably one of his greatest daughters in existence.

• Primrose 5083 is best known as the dam of the $42,000 third-high-selling bull of the 2021 Ellingson Angus sale, Ellingson Deep River, who has become one of the most popular sires on the Alta Genetics roster. Deep River progeny have highlighted and topped some of the most-talked about offerings over the past two sale seasons across the U.S.

• Other progeny of hers have highlighted past Ellingson sales, including Three Rivers 2076, which was a $28,500 feature in last year’s sale going to Roseland Ranch, along with multiple other sons commanding $15-20k and going to some of the region’s top commercial programs.

• She records WR 7@103, YR 6@104, and IMF 7@109. Primrose 5083 stems from a long line of front-pasture donor dams, including her Pathfinder dam, which produced the $23,000 Ellingson Consistent 6235 working for Arntzen Angus Ranch and Richard Angus and featured at Breeder Link.

• Her donor granddam was arguably one of the most visually impressive females ever in the Ellingson herd. She produced the $21,000 Ellingson Drover 6034 and $30,000 Ellingson Frontiersman 7132, which were lot 1 features of their respective years in the Ellingson catalog.

PINE COULEE BLACKBIRD C135

• C135 (5@100 BW; 5@108 WW; 5@108 YW) was our pick in the 2022 Ladies of the Beartooth Sale. This powerhouse Resource daughter puts it all together and raised the top-selling bull at the 2021 Pine Coulee Bull Sale. We love our Resource daughters and we tied Juneau back into it to reinforce that incredible female-making ability that C135 brings to both her sons and daughters.

• Once you have a foundation like C135, you can go so many different directions and this mating will fit into a lot of programs across the country.

Open Heifers

ELITE REPLACEMENTS

This year, we selected straight off the very top of our replacement pen to showcase a truly elite set of females. Depth, balance, maternal strength, and cow longevity were the priorities when making these selections. There are numerous donor prospects in this offering. While it is never easy to part with females of this caliber, we are excited to see what they can do for progressive programs across the country.

• In my opinion, this heifer may be one of the very best females offered anywhere in 2026. She embodies everything we strive to raise here— maternal power, balance, and elite presence. She is the kind that grabs your attention from every angle and never disappoints on closer inspection.

• Her dam is on track for Pathfinder status and has proven herself as a consistent, high-level producer. The granddam has raised numerous high sellers and now resides in our donor pen. Dig deeper into the pedigree and you’ll find the legendary Shady Brook Ever Intense 491G as the fourth dam. This is a cow family built on generations of performance, fertility, and longevity.

• We retain the right to one successful flush at the buyer’s convenience.

• WW Ratio: 106

• Dam: 3 @ 103 WR, 2 @ 103 YR, 365-day average calving interval

• This is a super neat, well-balanced heifer with the right tools to make a lasting impact. Her sire continues to gain momentum across the breed for producing powerful, great-footed offspring with added performance. Add to that her highly maternal, donor-quality dam Y5, backed by EXT × 6807, and you have a proven, time-tested cow family.

• Her donor dam has influenced herds nationwide with a pedigree that never goes out of style and a phenotype that always commands attention. This one is bred right and built right.

• A standout since birth and one that is extremely hard to part with. This heifer stops you every time you walk through the pen and demands your attention with her presence, balance, and maternal look. She posted an impressive 113 weaning ratio, further proving the performance and consistency behind her.

TR

• The first Promise Land female to ever sell. Promiseland was our pick and the high-selling of the Badlands sons at Ellingson in 2024, bringing $30,000 for ½ interest. Unfortunately, we lost him in the spring of 2024, making this offering extremely rare with very limited semen remaining.

• This female is a true powerhouse—loaded with dimension, style, and maternal presence. She combines eye appeal with real cow power and is backed by a dam that has proven herself through production and longevity.

• WR: 117 (Top of her class)

• Dam: 6 @ 103 WR, 5 @ 106 YR

• 7 calves with a 362-day calving interval

• 3 daughters retained

• A rare opportunity to secure a female from a short-supply sire with elite maternal backing and long-term brood cow potential.

• We wanted to include females sired by our resident herd sires, and this one represents that vision well. Tidal Wave continues to rise to the top as his calves hit the ground, offering maternal strength and consistency. He is a maternal brother to Long’s Teton, who is seeing widespread use nationwide. This heifer reflects that same cow-making ability.

• A super gentle, easy-handling female with a huge top and plenty of muscle. Her dam originated from the Basin herd in Montana and has performed extremely well, posting a 109 weaning ratio. This is a practical, honest heifer with real-world value.

• This heifer excites us with her feminine, angular design and classic wedgeshaped brood cow look. She has that front-pasture presence we all appreciate and should mature into a highly productive, eye-appealing cow.

• Her sire is a full brother to Partisover Tradition and resides here, where we expect him to make a major impact for years to come. This female combines elite maternal design with a pedigree built for longevity.

THANK YOU.

We simply couldn’t do this without the physical help of our family and friends, and the full list of people who had our backs this year could fill this catalog. We wanted to give a special shout-out to a few people who made this past year possible, simpler, and maybe even a little more fun. We had an adventure being on a new permit on the mountain and it was made a lot more fun with those we got to work alongside with and who volunteered information to make our summer up there easier. A big part of ranching is making memories alongside people you respect and care about, so thank you!

2025 SALE DAY SCENES

THE STORY BEHIND THE BRAND

Elk are a common sight every fall at the ranch in Buffalo, WY. And, as exciting as seeing a few hundred head out with the beef cows in the hay meadows can be, that’s not why we call ourselves ELK Angus. Our brand, [reverse E] L K, comes from an old family story where Tyler’s down-the-line uncle worked the Y-Y ranch in the Southwest. Another ranch hand was rustling cattle by changing the Y-Y to [reverse E] L K, and when the government discovered this, those cattle were offered for sale where Tyler’s distant uncle purchased his first herd. We revived the brand a few generations later.
