OKC & Denver Travel Recap

Busy start to the year - but a productive one. We kicked off January in OKC at Cattlemen’s Congress before heading to Denver for the National Western Stock Show!

Cattlemen’s Congress in OKC was a great way to start a busy stretch. Our week was capped off by Brumfield Rita 5012 being named Reserve Grand Champion in the Open PGS Show, a result we’re incredibly proud of! We were impressed by the strong participation in the new event along with all of the positive energy!

Our trip to Denver for the National Western Stock Show ended on a high note with our pick of the 2025 Bear Mountain Angus Female Sale, Bear Mtn Eisa Erica 4542, earning Reserve Grand Champion PGS Heifer honors!

Credit to the Bear Mountain Angus crew for a great job in the ring, and we’re excited about the role this outcross female will play moving forward.
