84S was an easy calving, low maintenance bull that had a perfect disposition and was very slick haired. This bull is ideal for producing females suitable for the heat and humidity of the South.

“One of B571’s greatest sons, we bought 84S from Red Hill Farms in 2008 for $8,100. In February 2011, 25% interest of 84S sold to Ozark Hills Red Angus and Calvo Family Red Angus for $30,000. This past December, the 13 sons in our sale averaged over $6,000. 84S is one of the premier, proven calving ease sires in the breed, with an excellent spread from birth to yearling. Moderate in size, well-muscled and extremely correct, with excellent feet, legs, and testicles, and he has an exceptionally quiet disposition. He epitomizes what the breed is about and is without doubt, a true herd builder.” Buffalo Creek Red Angus, February 2012 ARA Magazine.

Rick Calvo notes the tremendous pasture breeding skills of 84S. At Calvo’s Ranch in Nebraska, 84S bred 88 out of 90 females in 50 days. He would breed a cow and move on to the next. This is a testament to the libido, structural correctness, and fertility of 84S.

84S is one of the most widely used bulls in the Red Angus breed that is not in a major AI stud, currently having over 1,350 calves in the Red Angus database. He has been used successfully in numerous herds across the country.

The dam of 84S, M554, was a near ideal Red Angus cow-moderate in size, fantastic udder, great feet and legs, and she was a light colored, slick hair cow. M554 was quite adaptable to our fescue environment.

Prior to the Buffalo Creek Sale, we were able to find P154 in one of the huge pastures at Buffalo Creek thriving on dry grass, and in respectable body condition for a young cow that had been so fertile and productive. She also had small teats and an apparent problem free udder. Two years later when we attended the Buffalo Creek dispersal, we purchased P154. We believe she was the best cow offered in the sale for the type of cattle we like. T189’s maternal granddam, 9005, had averages of 105 WR, 106 YR and MPPA of 104.6 on 10 natural calves before going into the Buffalo Creek Transplant program.

T189 puts together an unusually strong combination of convenience and cow efficiency traits on both sides of his pedigree. T189 is also outstanding from a phenotypic standpoint. He is a very moderate framed, structurally correct bull with tremendous width of chest, spring of rib and body volume. Out in the pasture with a large group of cows here in KY, T189 exhibits excellent overall balance as he moves over the hills. We like the way that T189 performed on fescue, maintaining or gaining body condition while running with cows during the breeding season. To get an appreciation for T189’s uniqueness, watch his video. This video was taken in early February 2013 when he was removed from 40 Fall calving cows. His ability to get the cows bred and maintain excellent flesh is unique. We have learned the importance of short, slick-haired cattle that thrive on fescue. This video shows how T189 has little to no hair in the middle of winter. T189’s daughters and granddaughters will be the backbone of our herd for many years to come. These females excel in udder quality and are consistently producing at the top of their respective contemporary groups. Their udder quality, docility and fleshing ability make these T189 daughters favorites of visitors to Red Hill.

PVC B112-182W Aquiles 047G was found in the pasture breeding cows at Victoria Farms in Alachua, Florida. Bart and Ty were impressed with this moderate framed, well balanced, super sound son of Brown Oracle and 182W. He has thick, perfect feet with a deep heel (5 claw & 5 angle) and, just as important, his joints are clean and he “moves like a cat”. 182W, the dam of our proven herd bull (176A) was purchased by Victoria Farms as a foundation female. The granddam, 287, and her first calf, 40P, were two of the most influential females in the Red Hill program. This bull brings extra growth and carcass genetics to Red Hill in a moderate package.

As scan time approached in the fall of 2015, 271B caught the eye of Bart and Gordon. He displayed exceptional feet and skeletal design along with extra thickness and volume. He was first out of 15 contemporaries for %IMF while being above average for REA and Yearling Weight. Also, he had a very slick hair coat and excellent testicles.

271B sired E608, the highest performing and top selling bull in the 2019 Red Hill Sale going to 5L Red Angus in Montana.

We wanted to add some variability for high growth and high marbling and chose to use Ten X in our program. For this project we picked a B571 daughter with flawless phenotype. 104U was an extremely powerful cow and a herd bull producer. 190A was used heavily by Mike Wood, and his influence continues to contribute to the herd bull battery at Ludvigson’s.

We have calved several heifers and cows that were bred to 49D. All have calved unassisted, and the calves have excellent vigor at birth. We are pleased with the calves sired by this bull. 49D sired the top selling bull in our 2020 Spring sale and has top end bulls for the 2021 Spring sale.

One of the most interesting observations about 28U is that every customer that bought semen on him three or four years ago is now calling back wanting more. The most common comment is that his calves are born easy and then in a couple months they are the thickest, chunkiest calves in the field.

132Y’s progeny exhibit excellent phenotype – excelling for overall balance, center body thickness and moderate size with excellent structural correctness. 132Y sons have been well received by our customers. Daughters are “easy keepers” with excellent udders and continue to raise bulls at the front end of our sales.

In addition to 224A’s outstanding data, his phenotype is pleasing. He is moderate in his stature, good footed and calm in his disposition while possessing extra volume and rib.

224A’s dam, M172, was our second pick of the cows from the Buffalo Creek dispersal. She had positive progeny ratios with a unique data set. Learn more about her on our foundation female page.

17P’s dam, Shady’s MS Marias 283, was one of the best cows in our herd – 8 calves Avg BW 81 pounds, 6 calves WWR 110, 5 calves YWR 112. In addition to being a very fertile female, 283 was large-volumed, heavy-muscled, and one of the most structurally correct mature cows at Red Hill. A strong attribute of 283 was her ability to thrive on typical fescue pastures–it certainly appears she may have had some genetic resistance to the fescue endophyte. 283 and her 2011 calf were killed by lightning in June 2011.
We have used 17P again because of his contribution to maternal superiority. He ranks in the top of the breed for the new HB Index. It is still difficult to find a bull with 17P’s combination of CED, Growth, HPG, CEM, and STAY. He truly represents superior balanced performance.

157Y was the third top selling bull in our 2013 sale. He was a favorite of sale attendees and was purchased by Sustainable Genetics (GA). 157Y is a thick, bold sprung bull that is huge ribbed and deep flanked. He also strides well on an outstanding set of feet.

157Y’s dam is a flush sister to our popular herd sire, 84S.

We used 157Y at Red Hill. His calves were small at birth with good vigor. We feel 157Y is unique in his data for very important maternal traits – CED, ME, HPG, CEM, and STAY.
