National Champions

We are proud to be able to use our Excell Santa Gertrudis genetics to produce the National Champions that we sell and exhibit today. Congratulations to the exhibitors below on your success! We work with exhibitors of all levels to achieve success in the show ring. The planning and execution of successfully exhibiting a show calf can be stressful. Calf selection, halter breaking, medical management, feeding, and breeding all play a role in your success with a show heifer.

With many years of success we pride ourselves on helping our buyers through this process for the best outcome. Whether you’re looking for a scramble heifer for your local county fair, a heifer for major livestock shows, or your own National Champion, we're here to help. Please contact us with any questions.
