First of all, we want to thank you for taking the time to look through our offering We jokingly said that we should have named this sale our TOP, TOP CUT BULL SALE Late last summer we made the decision to ship half of the bulls that were retained for our sale We could manage hauling water to cattle in the warm weather, but knew that when the cold set in, we would be in trouble . So, we bit the bullet and made the cut! Rest assured, these bulls in the offering are the very best we have to offer! We are very fortunate to be able to do what we love . It’s a great time to be in the cattle business!

That being said, our focus remains the same . Raise good doing cattle that are attractive in the pasture Cattle that will work in the real world There are certain EPDs that we do take notice of . All of the bulls have been 50K tested . We don’t want our customers to have issues when it comes to calving Without a live calf, nothing else matters

The sale will be conducted the same as last year The entire offering is housed here at the house, available to be viewed at your convenience anytime up until sale time .

Fall Yearling Bulls WHOLESOME SONS

Rudow’s RIP 040

Maternal brother and herd sire for Rudow Family Cattle. His daughters were the high average sire group in the 2025 Rudow Family Cattle Female Sale.

Rudow’s

Rudow’s Waylon 430

Rudow’s Waylon 430 is a powerful bull to headline the Rudow’s Wholesome 953 sire group. Lot 1 is one powerful individual that ties look, presence and power all together in a combination package.

Rudow’s Wholesome 953 has withstood the test of time. He is a direct son of DCC New Look 101 that has been so influential not only in the Rudow program but across the country. New Look and his full brother New Edition have made quite an impact on the Angus breed. Lets not forget about Wholesome’s immortal and herd making influential dam E&B Empress Pride 142. She has built a legacy here at Rudow Family Cattle and her final set of embryos are being offered in this sale as Lot 27.

430’s dam, 839 is the other reason he has been placed in the prestigious position of Lot 1. 839 is a powerhouse donor that has not only raised Rudow’s RIP 040 who raised the top selling sire group of bred heifers in the 2025 Rudow Family Cattle ‘Regret Free’ Female Sale.

Rudow’s Waylon 430 really follows the Rudow Family Cattle program. Moderate framed, easy fleshing, and maternal with a skeleton that smashes down the scales. He has a look that all cowboys are searching for. Lot 1 is striking from the side, he is sound structured, huge middled and has a proud presence when he covers the pen. He will be a herd bull you will want to keep every heifer calf that hits the ground and they will strike the attention of any buyer.

Fall Yearling Bulls WHOLESOME SONS

It has been debated a lot and we still are not sure we have it correct so don’t discount Lot 2 because he is a major player. This combination herd bull is again backed by Rudow’s Wholesome 953. Wholesome blends New Look with E&B Empress Pride 142, a mainstay of our program. Not only are we AI’ing cows to Wholesome but a set of ET brothers follow in the catalog. Powerful genetics on both the top and bottom side of Lot 2’s pedigree makes for predictable and reliable genetics for the future. This is the second year in a row that 910 has a bull that has made the “TOP CUT” bull sale. 910 is by Old Spice. For those of you that haven’t followed our program Duff Old Spice carries 2 shots of Duff Juanada 927K in his pedigree. She is one of the most influential cows in the Duff program. On the bottom side of Lot 2’s maternal pedigree sits Rudow 431 who packs OCC You Bet 800Y and Rudow 410, who is a bull making machine. You Bet has played a major impact in building our cow herd making mouth watering daughters with calving ease built in.

For Angus bulls to be this ripped up with muscle and still be shaped seamlessly from their shoulders back is extremely hard to do. Rudow’s Willie 426 is built flawlessly with a solid foot underneath him and he moves so effortlessly. Can you believe it…..after all of this, Lot 2 is still a heifer bull. Wow!!!

SIRE Rudow’s Wholesome 953

Fall Yearling Bulls WHOLESOME SONS

Lot 3

He is double bred OCC Genesis 872G, OCC Dixie Erica 814G and E & B Empress Pride 142. Throw in a dash of OCC You Bet 800Y for a winning combination! We’re talking DECADES of TRIED and TRUE, PROVEN genetics that produce GOOD DOIN’ Angus Cattle! Take note of these 2 bulls. We like them a lot!

Lot 4

Lets take a minute to discuss the impact of Rudow’s Empress Pride 414. First off, the now deceased 414 was one of the most powerful Angus cows ever to walk the pastures at Rudow Family Cattle. She was so wide she barely fit through the chute alleys. The children’s song “Deep and Wide” comes to mind when describing this You Bet daughter. Awesome udder, very maternal and stems from influence of E&B Empress Pride 142. 142 influence on both top and bottom of the pedigree lines up timeless genetics that are the most sought after here year after year.

Lot 5

Fall Yearling Bulls

FEATURE BULL!!! Hands down one of the best combination bulls of the entire sale. He is a good looking stout made, powerful bull all while being very attractive in his build. His genetics are…..VERY VALUABLE! Maternal breed leading genetics backing him up with OCC Zenith and one of our best donors Rudow’s Rosetta 961. 961 is an absolute Model Angus Cow. She is sired by Administrator 333 back to one of the very best looking phenotype cows to walk the pastures in Pana, IL; Rudow’s Rosetta 68. Predictable pedigrees combined with powerful herd bull presence is the recipe for success.

Rudow’s Man on Fire 409 5

Rosetta

Fall Yearling Bulls VEGAS SON

Rudow’s Roulette 421 6

Whoa….Welcome to the Big League! We don’t allows follow trends, in fact if you ask most people that we know we typically go a little more the opposite direction here at Rudow Family Cattle, but Riverstone Vegas has intrigued us and his influence combined with Rudow’s Blacksmith 669 makes for a home run!!! Rudow’s Roulette 421 had a full sister who was the lead off bred heifer (Lot 1) in the fall female sale that sold for $10,000. Vegas combines Casino with breed leading genetics that lean more to our cow family principals like OCC Paxton, Coleman Dixie Erica 8277, SAV Final Answer, Coleman Donna 714, EXT, and Traveler 6807 to name a few. Rudow’s Roulette 421 is so unique in his build. Stout, soft centered and sleek necked with presence of a true Herd Bull.

Lot 7

Our Genetic partner and friend at Classic Genetics in Oklahoma purchased this bull in last years bull sale to be a backup bull for a group of commercial cows. He was his pick of the New Edition x 460 flush brothers and he brought him back to offer this Age Advantage stud. He will cover more cows and boy is he an elite herd bull. Rudow’s Classic Edition 336 comes from a strong lineage of greats. He follows that breeding pattern we steer towards lining up genetics of Duff New Edition (OCC Genesis x OCC Dixie Erica 814G) with OCC Zenith. Line breeding at its finest and we sure believe in these genetics. Bid and buy with confidence.

Rudow’s Classic Edition 336 7

Fall Yearling Bulls YOU

These top notch Rudow Genetics is what is so exciting about lot 8. OCC You Bet 800Y throws calves that are always easy calving so don’t be afraid to use this bull as a heifer bull despite what the genomics targeted him. Lot 8 has what it takes to have low birthweight calves that grow fast and work for you to benefit your bottom line.

JUANADA STYLE SON

OPPORTUNITY IS KNOCKING!!! Here is a chance to own a son of Juanda Style back to a Merle daughter. This pedigree knocks it out of the park for phenotype. This herd bull has such a powerful foundation being huge footed and big boned with a presence about him. His high neck-set puts him on an elite playing field as he walks around so around in the pasture. If you are looking for an impressive bull to power up your herd, tie into this one.

He stacks predicable genetics combining GCC Juanita Style 670 who is out of a full sister to Total Recall back to maternal greats OCC Joker and DCC Gunsmoke.

JUANADA STYLE SONS

Lot 11

Rudow’s Huck 423 is an elite performance bull where quality runs deep in the family tree. GCC Juanada Style 670F is a sire we purchased from Otis Rincker and who originated from the Griswold program. He is a style back to Total Recalls full sister. The bottom side of that pedigree reads with cow power. Combine ‘Otis” as we call him with OCC genetics makes the consistency and maternal strength unparalleled. These cow families have been elite herd bull raisers for us in the past. Keep every daughter out of this bull. You will thank me later.

Lot 12 is the first of the yearling bulls in the offering. Don’t caught up with him being a little smaller. These yearling bulls are 2-4 months younger than the fall bulls selling. Rudow’s Tom 52 is an absolute STANDOUT. 52 is a bull that is backed by the 410 cow family just like lot 2. That cow stamps her offspring and particularly the bulls with extra power and punch. WE BELIEVE IN THESE ELITE GENETICS!

Yearling Bulls JET STREAM SONS

Lot 13

We incorporated JBob Jet Stream 126 into our program to continue our focus on Easy Fleshing, Moderate, and Maternal Angus cattle. His pedigree and phenotype definitely has passed on these traits. Make sure you noted these bulls are some of the youngest bulls in the sale. They are DEEP, STOUT, and EASY FLESHING. LOT 13 is a HERD BULL!

Lot 14

Another yearling herd bull that will inject maternal into his offspring. He ties the Old School OCC genetics with some of our most proven pedigrees. He combines calving ease with a phenotype pedigree to solidify his quality.

LOVER BOY & QUALIFIED SONS

Lot 15

It doesn’t matter who you are, where you live or what your priories are...you will want to take this herd bull home. Lot 15 is a good looking, calving ease half blood Simmental bull that is extremely unique in his look. For all of the phenotype gurus out there who love to evaluate cattle, I don’t know if I have another bull that looks like this guy. Calving ease and maternal is what you will get when you take home Lot 15.

Lot 16 is a planned mating from our partner and friend Classic Genetics out of Oklahoma. Stan purchased the mother of this bull from us who is a full sib to Rudow’s Administrator 333. Classic Qualified is an elite herd bull that carries look and presence with an extra shot of power. This bull is a calving ease option that will bring added value to your calf crop. This powerhouse may very well be one of the best herd bull prospects to sell. This bull is SPECIAL!

In this section in the catalog we will share some of the very best heifers we have that are bred to calve next fall. This set of females would have been offered in the fall female sale or even retained, but our heifer “clean up” bull was a non-breeder so they were open and we held them over. As a result the following 5 lots are AI bred to calve in September.

Administrator 820 is a son of Administrator 333 which is backed by Wholesome the New Look x E&B Empress Pride 142 pedigree that we feel is as influential in our herd as any mating. Combine that with 373’s cow family the Reyna 0566 that we acquired from the Cane Ridge program makes for elite genetics. We love the mating to CanAM Defender on board from our neighbors and friends from Can Am. We feel that 373 is a female destined for greatness.
