Senn Red Angus Catalog 2026

Dear Cattlemen and Cattlewomen, It’s truly an honor to invite you to our ninth annual production bull sale! It is our hope that you will find this catalog pleasurable, informational and understandable! Before you get started, just know this. We pride ourselves in creating both male and female progeny in the Red Angus breed. Year in and year out it amazes me to see the people that come and show a progressive interest in Red Angus influenced cattle. We encourage you to ask questions about the cattle. One thing you don’t have to ask me about is, do the cattle have good feet. I wouldn’t want to sell you one with bad feet. Probably the biggest compliment I’ve had all year is I’ve been accused of being a foot Nazi! We want you to always feel comfortable around our operation and our business dealings! Friendship and customer satisfaction will always come first. We invite anyone driving a distance that wants to stay overnight in Faith at the motel, we will gladly pay for your motel room! Hope to see you February 28!!

With much gratitude, ~Senn Red Angus~ Jerry and Heather Senn

Lot 1 SENN APOLLO 515

The lead off bull for the 2026 sale comes from our two favorite bloodlines Coming in Hot and out of a full sister to Grand Gateway sold as Lot 1 in our 2021 sale. Coming in Hot cattle are always gentle to be around and have bold characteristics. We used Grand Gateway some last year and we plan to AI a bunch to him this summer. Lot 1 - put him in your pasture by the road!

Lot 2 SENN PARAMOUNT 5672

Lot 2 is a real long ET son. We purchased 316 at age 11 and are strictly using her as our new donor. One of the reasons we purchased her was that she is a cow that was born at 90# and weaned off at 719# on Montana grass with no extra supplements. Full brothers are lots 9 and 10. Lot 2 was a pasture favorite for his added length and performance.

Lot 3 SENN NORTHERN LIGHTS 523

Lot 3 is one of my favorites! He boasts a 76-pound birth weight and a 681# weaning. He is a Heifer bull deluxe. His grand dam had the best front feet of any red angus cow I’ve seen. Lot 3 is one of the most athletic bulls we’ve raised, he moves out so well. We plan on collecting him before he goes to his new home and using him AI on about half our heifers.

Six Mile Game Changer 13K

Lot 4 SENN UPGRADE 547

Lot 4 is a paternal brother to Lot 3, 31 and 32. Game Changer was a powerful bull we purchased from the 6 Mile program in Canada. We got to use him two seasons but unfortunately had to sell him due to an injury. You will notice the added length that Game Changer puts into his progeny. Lot 4 should be safe for heifers.

Lot 5 SENN BLACK LEGACY 513

Here’s one of the bigger bodied bulls you will see and will be one you can use on heifers. He has 3 generations of Red Angus and goes back to the Black Angus 6005 Belle cow that we flushed. Calving ease and 677# of growth on grass and milk. If you are breeding red angus heifers you should get half red calves. Use him on heifers or cows.

Lot 6 SENN SMOOTH REBEL 557

Lot 6 is a bold made young bull out of a Hard Drive dam. She had 8 calves with an average birth weight of 102#. Her calves are typically born stout but not alarming. Nice cow bull here that is easy on the eyes. Hard Drive and Coming in Hot gives you a double dose of gentle.

Senn Aster 617

Lot 7 SENN LONG CUT 544

I really like this bull for his loaded pedigree and who he is in the flesh. He is bold all the way around, moves out very well and is so balanced. Can you imagine the daughters you could have if you bred him to your favorite cows. We will be collecting semen on him for our own use before delivery!

SENN EMERALD 511

THESE EPDS ARE PARENTAL AVERAGES

BROOKING ANNIE 6154

I can’t help myself when it comes to great cattle, no matter the breed. The SAV 2097 cow exemplifies what a near perfect cow should be. That is best temperament, perfect udder, awesome phenotype and great set of feet. SAV Scale House is no doubt my favorite Angus bull. Combine her with the Canadian Brooking Emerald bull and you have complete package. This is the only 100% Angus bull in the sale.

Brooking Emerald 2188

Lot 9 SENN FIREBRAND 5475

Lot 9 was another bull that was easy to find when checking cows this summer. Many times I got him confused with his full brother at lot 2. These three full brothers are easy going and have maternal with performance to help you advance your future heifer calf crop.

SENN INFERNO 5933

INFERNO

Lot 10 has his own way of expressing boldness. This full brother is a little more moderatebut could still be the longest bull of the three. I think these bulls are suitable for everyone’s assessment. The Coming in Hot calves are born with plenty of hair and vigor.

Lot 11 SENN PRIME FUSION 508

Lot 11 is by an “old school” sire, Fusion R236. We used Fusion on a few select heifers. These are real numbers, 76# at birth to 662# weaning. That equates to nearly a $3000 steer this year. 3285 bred back, even after weaning a big calf.

Lot 12 SENN FUSION FORCE 505

Lot 12 and lot 11’s mothers are half sisters. Another one that had low birthweight and good weaning. Lot 12 is the most calving ease of the four Fusion sons.

1014 - Grandam of Lots 11 & 12

Lot 13 SENN IRON FUSION 501

Here’s one that is thick made, deep bodied and soft sided. Proven calving ease in the pedigree. All these Fusion bulls were born to first calf heifers who all bred back. Heifer bull

Lot 14 SENN RED FUSION 504

Another functional Fusion son who weighed nearly 600#. This bull is correct and has a unique maternal pedigree. A free moving bull that should stand the terrain. BD: 01-29-2025 RAAA: 5197787

Lots 15, 16, 17 and 18 are all full ET brothers by DVO Possessive and the 1014 Redstone cow. These cattle are sound, soft made and have comparable phenotype. We feel there is longevity and real maternal influence in these sons. The Redstone 1014 donor has exceptional feet and is a flat six frame dark red cow.

Lot 19 SENN POWER SURGE 759

BD: 03-08-2025

Lot 19 was such a nice calf this summer that we decided to offer him in the sale. He is out of a commercial Red Angus eight-year-old cow. He has very nice Red Angus breed character and is stylish and athletic. Take advantage of the performance on this bull and put him to work. DNA verified to Reputation 3416.

Senn Reputation 3416

Lot 20 SENN REPUTATION 555

Lot 20 is also out of the sire Reputation 3416, that we raised. We have used him two years in a row, and plan on turning him out again for the third season. Lot 20s dam, 211 is a moderate framed young cow weighing just 1125 pounds and weaning off more than 50% of her body weight.

Aster 211

Lot 21 SENN GREAT BASIN 5012

The next two lots are full brothers by the trusted 14-year-old 103 donor cow and is still in production as she raised a heifer calf this year. Lot 21 is moderate plus frame and the easy fleshing kind.

Senn Great Basin 5012 in Oct.

Lot 22 SENN GREAT BASIN 5501

Lot 23 SENN REAL DEAL 521

Lot 23 is a sleep all night calving ease bull to use on heifers. He was 72 pounds at birth and 649 at weaning on a heifer that will weigh just 1000 pounds. He has enough structure and kind to be honest cow bull when he’s done with your heifers.

Lot 24 SENN LEGIT 550

Lot 24 is also born from first calf heifer. She had him with ease at 88 pounds, weaned a 623# calf, bred back first cycle and only weighs 1000#. She is one of my favorite dark red young females.

Lot 25 SENN DREAM ON 556

Lot 25 is another bull to use on heifers. Extra low birth weight to above average weaning numbers. This bull’s first calf mother came up open and is the only bull in the sale that way. We want to have transparency in the cattle we sell. Use him accordingly.

Lot 26 SENN FOREMAN 524

Lot 26 came to us in dam out of a cow we bought from Milk Creek Reds. We’ve seen the Foreman cattle, and they are the easy calving-low birthweight type with above average growth. This bull is stout and his mother is a pretty one.

Lot 27 SENN SMOOTH SAILING 5725

Here’s an ET son that looks like he’s made for a herd of cows but has numbers to breed your heifers. He is stout, moderate made and sure footed. He weaned off at 632# with just milk and grass. BD: 03-20-2025 RAAA:

Lot 28 SENN EASY RIDER 509

A big CED bull again and is weaning off over 60% of his dam’s body weight. This first calf heifer won’t weigh 1050# today. Upfront was a bull that was very stout. Use lots 27 & 28 on heifers.

Lot 29 SENN 29 BELOW 517

Here’s a bull I hope gets the attention he deserves! I missed his mother when we were sorting close-ups and I let her out and didn’t know it. Anyway, she had this calf on a very, very cold morning (-29 degrees) two miles from home. And this is where I stand my ground and say a calf with some birth weight has a greater chance of surviving the elements than those that weigh under 69. Let 29 Below be a testimony.

Lot 30 SENN SMOOTH OPERATOR 540

I bought lot 30 in dam out of the 553 cow from the Milk Creek Reds aged cow dispersal. I would describe him as clean made, moderate and has a pretty hair coat. The Copenhagen calves born here are extra aggressive to get up and suck when they are born.

Lot 31 SENN GAME DAY 548

Here we are at lot 31 and here’s a bull that has a tremendous weaning weight is above average on birth and born to a first calf heifer with no assistance. She also bred back to calve second cycle. A lot of heifers would have fallen out of the program weaning a calf that big.

Lot 32 SENN ELEVATION 527

Lot 32 is the largest framed bull of the sale and boasts the largest weaning weight. I’ve seen some 750# steers bring $4, that is correct $3000 is the money. His sire 13K was a bull we selected from Six Mile Red Angus in Canada.

Lot 33 SENN FIRE POWER 561

Lot 33 was born to one of my favorite 11-year-old cows, 431. She usually has bigger calves at birth but are never assisted. I truly placed this bull late in the sale to give someone opportunity to rethink birth weight versus calving ease. The females he produces will have Coming in Hot phenotype, performance and hair along with the genetic enhancement of 431s beautiful udder. Don’t be afraid of this one.

Lot 34 SENN CLASSIFIED 536

Lot 34 is the last Red Angus bull to sell. This young cow has nothing to be ashamed of weaning a 625# bull all on her own. We have a few Grand Gateway daughters in production, and I feel they will be rising to the top as some of the very best! We used Grand Gateway again last year AI and will be using him more this upcoming season.

Lot 35 SENN MASTERMIND 5711

We crossed Hard Drive with the 93U Fleckvieh cow and I think the bulls in this sale will enhance foot quality, body mass and phenotype when used on Black or Red angus females. The steers should have weight advantage, and the heifers will have the maternal foundation already in place. BD: 03-20-2025 RAAA: 5197859

SENN MASTERMIND 5711

Lot 36 SENN SECOND CHANCE 5071

03-22-2025

SENN SECOND CHANCE 5071

This is the second of four ET flush brothers. We began using some Fleckvieh in our herd 5 years ago. We have done our homework on selecting bulls for foot quality, temperament, fertility and maternal aspects.

Lot 37 SENN COSMOPOLITAN 5832

SENN COSMOPOLITAN

Lot 38 SENN CHUTE BOSS 5890

SENN CHUTE BOSS

This last ET flush brother maybe a bit more moderate, but he has the look. I feel like you could use these half blood bulls on about any cow and have a salty set of calves in the fall.

Lot 39 SENN TURNING POINT 576

Oh boy, 9477 brought home a good looking big red blaze face son. Maternal traits run deep and 9477 is a soggy deep made cow. We are about to start calving another set of half-blood first calf females and they are nice. We used the purebred Fleckvieh bull- Golden Dawn No Doubt 01K as one of our walking sires and is the sire to lots 39 through 45. BD: 04-09-2025

DAWN NO DOUBT

SENN TURNING POINT 576

BELLE 9477

DAWN MEAZY

Lot 40 SENN NO DOUBT 552

Lot 40 is one of the biggest weaning weight half-blood bulls. His maternal side includes the old 103 cow by Upfront 508. This bull is long, darker complected and hits his tracks very well. This bull has scurs.

Lot 41 SENN PLATINUM 577

Lot 41 was born unassisted to a four-year-old cow. I have liked this calf a lot and wouldn’t be afraid to use him on middle aged red angus cows. He is thick and long bodied. He also has the second highest weaning weight of the half-blood bulls. We have a red angus first calf heifer maternal sister by Coming in Hot that is pretty darn good at home.

Lot 42 SENN OPEN RANGE 583

BD: 04-20-2025 RAAA: 5197875

Lot 42 was born unassisted to a five-year-old cow. He is extra-long and is a bit taller than some of the bulls. He is out of beautiful cow who is a bit larger frame for our herd. Lot 23 and lot 24 are related pedigrees.

Lot 43 SENN WILDCARD 562

Lot 43 is a long-made blaze face out of a 5-year-old cow. Born at 107#, he still boasts a 627# weaning. Extra length plus height plus thickness equals added birthweight. None of these half-bloods were born with alarming size. We are still surprised when we weigh them. We often say, I can’t believe he weighs that! All these bulls were born unassisted.

Lot 44 SENN BOLD MOVE 572

Lot 44 is tied for the highest weaning weight of the half-blood bulls. We sold a Red Angus maternal brother in the 2021 sale at Lot 5. We sold a maternal half-blood brother last year that weighed 647#. We also have a maternal Red Angus sister by U2 Dominion in the herd.

Lot 45 SENN SILVER LINING 991

BD: 03-18-2025

SENN SILVER LINING 991

Here is a Black hided half-blood out of an honest commercial black angus cow. He was another nice calf this summer I thought we’d keep and offer in the sale. 991 is six coming seven-year-old Angus cow that raises good calves consistently every time. I trust this bull’s genetics will add weight and kind to his progeny. He has scurs.

Lot 46 SENN FIREBRAND 582

Lot 46 is 75% Red Angus and 25% Fleckvieh. His dam’s full brothers gained a lot of attention in the 2023 sale. They were highly sought after and became high sellers. Performance is in the pedigree. This bull is a paternal brother to Lot 7.
