We have taken many steps to allow you to bid confidently. When you purchase cattle from Stillwater Ranch, you can be assured that we stand behind the animals we raise. We have been genetically testing, tracking performance, and developing our breeding program for over a decade. Our cattle are raised with an emphasis on soundness, longevity, practical performance, and honesty.
What You Can Expect From Our Cattle:
Igenity Beef genomic testing on every animal
Parentage verification
Carcass ultrasound scanning
Recorded birth weights, 205-day weights, yearling weights, and current weights
Permanent tattoo identification
Comprehensive genomic testing on bulls through both Neogen and Zoetis, including a full panel of genetic conditions

Raised on Forage, Developed for Performance
Our cattle have not been raised on grain or starch-heavy rations. We believe in developing cattle on forage, without excessive condition, so they are better prepared to transition into your management without falling apart.
Every animal in this sale has spent the summer on grass pasture, with most grazing at elevations above 7,000 feet. The cattle you see are presented in their working condition, not artificially fed to appear heavier or more developed than they are.
We take every step possible to provide you with a healthy, productive new herd member, and stand behind the cattle we sell.
Sale Information & Reminders:
Cattle are available for in-person viewing between now and sale day on November 7th.
We are happy to answer questions about individual lots and help identify the animals that'll best suit your program.
