Functional Angus, proven in the Great Basin.
A family seedstock program in Fallon, Nevada — functional, sound cattle selected on the whole animal, then backed by AI breeding for fertility, feet, and feed efficiency. Start with a bull we’ve already proven, then meet the 2027 crop.
Our 2026 Champion.
Every bull in a sale is unproven until his calves hit the ground — so start with what the program has already produced. This bull won his class at the Great Basin Bull Sale on structure, soundness, and a complete set of numbers to back it.
Meet 610 “Minute Man.”
The calf behind the reel — and the leadoff of a 2027 crop named for the nation’s 250th: Liberty, Washington, Jefferson, Battle Born & more. Get first look at his sale lot — and the whole crop — the day they post.
We keep what works in this country.
Rafter 9 Ranch is a family operation, not a factory. Every cow is AI-bred, tracked, and culled on performance — feet, fertility, and how she raises a calf on irrigated pasture. We only sell genetics we’d keep ourselves.
“We breed the cow that stays sound, breeds back, and raises a good calf here in the Great Basin.”Mark Hyde — Owner & Operator
