Functional Angus bulls, proven in the Great Basin.
A family seedstock program in Fallon, Nevada — AI-bred for fertility, feet, and feed efficiency, and selected on the whole animal. We run fewer cows, and we know every one of them.
Our 2026 Champion.
The 2027 sale bulls are calves on the ground right now — 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.
This year’s prospects.
All nine 2026-born bull calves, headed to the February 13, 2027 sale. Their EPDs are interim — pedigree- and genomics-based estimates (AAA marks these “I”) that firm up as weaning and yearling weights come in. Photos and walking video post as we collect them. Get on the list and we’ll send our full Rafter 9 lineup — our lots at the Great Basin Bull Sale — the day it’s ready.
R9R Home Town 406.
Our home-raised all-purpose herd sire — and the father of two bulls in this year’s crop, including Minute Man 610. Now offered for sale by private treaty.
Our 2027 lineup posts in January. Be first to see it.
Our Rafter 9 lots for the Great Basin Bull Sale — finished EPDs, PAP scores, weights, and walking video — post in January. Get on the list and we’ll send them the day they’re ready, plus any private-treaty bulls that come available first.
