E L K Trophyclass
Musgrave 316 Stunner x Connealy Onward
Owned by Hoover AngusA home-raised Stunner son out of the 16-year-old Black Annie U7 cow. He holds the ranch’s weaning weight record (and on a dry year). Trophyclass is a headturner; Not only does he have incredible neck extension, but he’s one of the best-footed bulls we’ve seen. He’s been used heavily in the Hoover Angus program and is a bull we are building our program around. We’re excited to watch his dam’s longevity make an impact across the Angus breed. His first wet daughters are proving to be exceptional cows.

Ellingson Promise Land
Ellingson Badlands 0285 x Koupal Advance 28
We purchased Promise Land in 2024 and hadn’t been this excited about a bull since Trophyclass. The cornerstone EA Bells Girl 2181 sits right at the front of his pedigree. His genetic package covers the bases of profitable and problem-free beef production, and phenotypically, he was as complete as you will find, with superb structural correctness, length, smooth profiling, and an abundance of dimension throughout. His dam has recorded a production WR 5@103, YR 3@105, RE 3@104, and 362-day calving interval, having settled to first-service AI every year of her production career thus far. She is a maternal sister to the well-known Bells Girl flush of sisters, including the Pathfinder donor EA Bells Girl 7617, best known as the dam of Badlands, Brickhouse, Preeiminent, and Progressive. We lost Promise Land in his first breeding season and have been thrilled by his first calves to hit the ground in spring 2025. We’ll continue using him in our breeding program until our tank runs dry.
Semen is no longer available for purchase.

W C F Beefbuilder 812
Connealy Countdown x Cole Creek Black Cedar 46P
Owned by Musgrave AngusWCF Beefbuilder 812 is a bull we purchased from Willow Creek Farm as a true outcross bull. We’ve used him for five breeding seasons, and every last one of his calves has come easy, shows great vigor, and expresses quality muscle definition and shape. His wet daughters are some of the best in our herd - excellent mothers! Beefbuilder has become a cornerstone herd sire for us at ELK Angus; The bull was as sound as they come, held his condition and muscling, and was a true phenotypic standout. He continues to make an impact at Musgrave Angus as a bull who will continue to add maternal value to legacy Angus program.

Rossman Beast Mode 49G - Baldridge Beast Mode B074 x baldridge Xpand x743
This bull’s pedigree combines two of the best cows at Baldridge - the Patrissa family, touted as the #1 marbling family, and Isabel, the #1 revenue producer. He has two flush brothers – one was selected by Grimmius Cattle Co at $25,000, and the other is a herd sire in the Rossman breeding program. His calves exhibit tremendous length, structural correctness, and strong top. This bull was an absolute stud. Semen is available at $25/unit and $40/cert.
ELK Comrade D3 - Connealy Comrade 1385 x SandPoint Upward Z155
AAA 18616020
ELK COMRADE D3 is a mainstay in our program, and for good reason. His structural correctness was unmatched by any bull we’ve ever seen; He easily had the best set of feet of any Comrade son and came out of every breeding season in excellent condition. His daughters are some of our best females on the ranch - docile, easy-fleshing, and excellent uddered cows. Semen is available for $25/unit and $40/cert.
Musgrave 316 Capitalist 1427 - LD Capitalist 316 x MCATL Pilgrim 520-495
AAA 18774445
We purchased this LD Capitalist 316 bull from Musgrave Angus as a heifer bull – low birth weight, calving ease, and high growth. Every calf we have by him has proven his EPDs don’t lie. They come easy and light and pack on the pounds efficiently. We’ve been extremely impressed by the muscle definition that his calves have as well. And, his heifers all stamp a certain look with pretty, feminine heads. This bull is out of a great Musgrave cow with a real track record; She’s one that catches the eye of about anyone who tours Musgrave’s. We’ve retained a bunch of 1427’s females as replacements here at ELK. Semen is available for $25/unit and $40/cert.
