THANK YOU TO THESE OPERATIONS FOR PURCHASING GROUPS OF COMMERCIAL BRED HEIFERS RUSCHOWSKI LAND AND CATTLE, KELLY BARNES, GRANT BROCKMANN, GABE WOTSCHELL

On behalf of everyone at Big Sky Cattle Company / Letniak Farms, I am pleased to welcome you to our 2026 bull o ering. As we enter the new year and re ect back on 2025, we have many reasons to be grateful. Ample moisture, a smooth harvest, strong cattle prices and a dependable team, making the short list. rough the hard years and the favourable years, God is good, and this year has been a true testament to that. We are met with unprecedented opportunity in the cattle business. e current cattle market presents an opportunity to invest in genetics that ensure future re nement and progress in your cow herd.

is marks our family’s 43rd year breeding purebred Charolais cattle. Being part of the Charolais breed for 4 generations, you will inevitably develop a type. For us, this has resulted in breeding cattle that excel in a low input commercial environment without sacri cing in terms of performance. Our philosophy is, you can work for your cattle, or they can work for you. Being a mixed farming operation puts a signi cant emphasis on the prerequisite for cattle to thrive in a setting that doesn’t focus solely on them. Currently, our farming and ranching operations are split 50/50. With a cow herd consisting of 90% commercial, red Simm/Angus females, the remaining 10% consisting of purebreds. e majority of our commercial cows will be bred to Charolais bulls from our program. Buy with con dence knowing the commercial cow business is our business too.

Although our purebred division is small in numbers, you will nd merit through the consistency of this o ering. As we all know, consistency and uniformity sells, when it comes time to market your calf crop. Improvement is incremental. We have made a conscious e ort to re ne our cowherd, lowering birth weights and increasing vigor at birth, without sacri cing weights in the fall. e majority of our purebred herd is spring calving, focused on producing 2yr old bulls. Our spring calving division is not creep fed, and is managed no di erently than our commercial herd. e weights as printed are what you can expect from calves sired by these bulls. In addition to the 2yr olds, we have a select o ering of yearling bulls to choose from. Whether you’re targeting performance, calving-ease, or red factor, we have bulls to meet your needs.

2025 has been a memorable year showing cattle. Last year we acquired Bar SK Strikeout 310L, he went on to leave his mark across several shows this fall. Earning Supreme Champion Bull- Purdue, Grand Champion Charolais Bull- Stockade Roundup, and Reserve Champion Senior Champion Bull- Agribition. We are excited to see the impact he has on our herd in the years to come.

In closing, I would like to say thank you to every individual who has helped shape our program into what it is today. ank you to the customers who have supported our program over the past 43 years. e cattle business really is a people business and your trust and continued support is held in high regard. To maintain operational productivity, it takes an innovative, dedicated team. We would not be where we are today without their commitment and daily e ort, for that we are greatly appreciative.

Please reach out with any questions about our o ering or to set up a time to look through the bulls. We look forward to seeing everyone at the farm this spring.

Sincerely,

Jaren

Big Sky REFERENCE SIRES

LEGL PONCHO 100J

Poncho was a standout from our 2023 bull pen that sold to Gould Ranching LTD. We retained a semen interest in e orts to enhance the maternal traits of our program. You will appreciate the soft design, eshing ability and hair these Poncho sons display.

PRO-CHAR PATRIOT 7G

In 2020 our search for a heifer bull ended with Pro-Char Patriot. It became obvious after Patriots rst calf crop, he was more than just a heifer bull. We value the vigour, hair and foot quality Patriot brings to the equation along with superior calving ease.

STEPPLER TIMBER 62K

Timber was our pick of the Steppler Farms 2023 o ering. Campaigned successfully as a calf, Timber earned Semex President’s Choice Breed Champion- CWA. His dam Steppler Gabby 546H then went on to sell for $49,000 at the CWA Charolais sale that very year. Timber continues to impress, adding hip and depth to all his progeny. Proving to be truly a curve bender, exceptional calving ease combined with ample performance.

LT DEL REY 6161P

Del Rey is a calving ease bull we utilized through AI. For the producers calving on grass that prioritize hands o management, these Del Rey sons will be worth considering. Siring smooth made, long spined, small headed calves that hit the ground and get after it. We really appreciated the added muscle expression Del Rey stamps his progeny with.

HVA FIREBALL 662F

Fireball was chosen as the mating sire for embryos acquired from Prairie Cove Charolais. With the commercial cattleman in mind, this mating aimed to produce rugged, high performance bulls that push the scale down. Fireball delivered.

LEGL Highmark 100N is a true representation of the type, balance, and quality we strive to breed. Trends will evolve, but the relevance of a rock solid cow family will never change. Highmark’s dam, LEGL 71G, has distinguished herself with outstanding foot structure, impeccable udder quality, and re ned phenotype. Earning her a place in our donor cow lineup as of last year. It’s easy to appreciate the added neck extension that transitions into his smooth set shoulders, laid into a deep forerib with ample pin set over the top. e performance is here. Highmark has all the pieces for the makings of a big time herd bull.

Parent Verifed, Homo Polled, PA Free

e product of a progressive embryo mating, LEGL Kelo 111N brings an attractive herd bull presence to the pen. He combines an ideal skull design with a boldly sprung ribcage tied together by a broad, stout top. Sired by RMB Keystone, who quickly established himself as a cornerstone in uence in progressive programs nationwide. Kelo’s dam, SOS Lipgloss 86G o ers a valuable outcross to most programs. Kelo is the youngest bull in this year’s o ering, but certainly high on quality.

101M is massive from all angles. Ample performance, basewidth and bone in this PZC Lily x Fireball mating.

20M is the biggest framed bull on o er. Standing on a large square foot, the foundation for longevity is set.

We will leave 516C open after she calves this spring and ush her. 20M’s Maternal sister RPJ 820F is one of our front end donor cows.
