To understand our program it is important to first understand our goals.
The RVF Cattle Mission Statement is comprised of two parts:
To supply our customers with genetics that will increase their quality of life and long term profitability.
To supply the beef industry with genetics that will efficiently and sustainably convert our God given forages into nutritious, delicious, and most importantly healthy, BEEF.
Below you will find examples of some of the genetics that we are currently using. Click on the picture to be directed to the animal’s association page. Below that you can find a synopsis of what RVF Cattle is all about. Thanks for checking us out!
AI Sires to our 2023 Calf Crop
Springcreek Tesla 6E
Tesla is a key component of our SimAngus program. Tesla will add length while maintaining rib and capacity. A very unique combo. Our first Tesla daughters calved in January 2023 and are looking like the right kind for sure! They are doing a great job of raising their first calves, they have perfect udders, and are very feminine. Tesla’s sons are masculine, have added muscle, and are structurally flawless. We own the US Semen rights on Tesla, along with two other partners. US Semen is available through us for $40.00 per unit with volume discounts available. Semen ships from Origen in Billings, MT.
Wheatland Man O’ War 907G
Man O’ War is a Purebred Simmental bull that was an easy choice to use. Demand for white face cattle has really skyrocketed the last few years. We were never prepared to sacrifice quality to chase color, and with Man O’ War we didn’t have to. His mother is an ideal cow, with superb foot structure and udder quality. Man O’ War will add density and base width to his offspring. They are thick, stout, moderate framed and will catch your eye quickly. The bulls calves are tanks, and we think the heifers should make tremendous cows.
Kthree Fuel 22D
Fuel is a Canadian Half Blood bull that brings a very complete package. Homo Black, Homo Polled, look for sons and daughters of Fuel in our program for years to come. Our first fuel daughters calved in January 2023 with beautiful udders. They are feminine and broody in the right frame size. The Fuel cattle seem to be medium framed, easy keeping type cattle that should excel in any environment. He seems to bring it all together in one package.

RED U2 Township 17G
The $130,000 Township 17G is one of the premiere breeding pieces of any Red Bull that sold in 2020. Phenotypically he is tough to a fault expressing excellent shape and breed character. He is sound, perfect lined and has a herd bull presence. His dam Red U-2 Beauty 113Z is a model Angus cow and was the high selling red cow at $62,000 in U2’s historic dispersion. Township offers phenotype, excellent maternal traits, efficiency, scrotal, semen quality and stands on great feet. Township’s daughters are feminine and have a wonderful look to them. The sons are well balanced and very attractive.
Duff Red Blood 18114
Red blood is a complete made calving ease bull. We used him on heifers and got along really well. He will add his dark red color and impeccable structure. His soundness of feet and correctness in his joints is excellent. Red Blood has an extreme amount of rib shape and ties in perfectly behind his shoulders with an overall smoothness and masculinity. The calves from Red Blood really catch your eye with their attractive look.
STRA Admiral 0150
Admiral is touted as the best footed Red Angus bull in the breed. The high selling bull of the 2021 Twedt Red Angus program, he sold to Kenner Simmentals of Leeds, North Dakota. Sired by STRA General, and out of a Bieber Driven C540 daughter, the pedigree can’t get any better. Admiral has a BW ratio of 95 with a WW ratio of 117! He demolishes the antagonisms between Birthweight and Weaning Weight. Admiral should bring an all around genetic package to our program that would improve any herd! His offspring are very impressive with the bulls having extra length of body, growth, muscle and masculinity, while the daughters have a very complete, fault free look to them.

ZWT Summitt 6507
ZWT Summitt combines the best of the American Black Angus breed into one animal. He is used in our SimAngus program to put Coleman Donna 714 and SAV Blackcap May 4136 into our pedigrees. It is an injection of maternal greatness. The daughters are moderate, fleshy, broody and have excellent udders. The sons are masculine, have added base width and muscle, and are always some of the first bulls to catch your eye. We use him to make great cows, and not only do we get that, but we also get very impressive sons. A rare combo.
Reich Ripper 37B
Ripper is a Canadian Black Angus bull that has taken the US by storm. With a completely outcross pedigree to almost all American cattle, he is extremely useful. Ripper is a moderate bull that adds muscle and masculinity to his sons. Not only is he full of muscle, but he moves like a cat as well, which is extremely rare. The secret is in the daughters though. They are refined and feminine with beautiful udders. They are some of the most attractive females you will find anywhere and are very productive. We have been watching Ripper for years, but just started to use him in 2022 after we saw the consistency of what he produces. We are extremely excited to see this 2023 calf crop develop.

What is RVF Cattle?
Our cow herd is comprised of two parts. Registered SimAngus and Registered Red Angus.
We are a seedstock operation selling breeding bulls, and replacement heifers. We pride ourselves in finding genetics that thrive in our customer’s environments. We are constantly searching for what genetics that will accomplish our mission statements and work for our customers. Once we find those genetics we try to be very disciplined in how we use them. While we do try new genetics in our pursuit to find the best out there, we don’t chase the latest fads. It is very easy to get lost in the chase of better cattle. We breed the majority of our herd each year to highly proven sires that are backed by pedigrees full of great cows. If a bull’s pedigree isn’t stacked with Maternal Greatness, we don’t consider using him. We are extremely selective on what genetics we allow into our program, and we search throughout North America to find them. You can be assured that when you buy a bull or heifer from us they are backed with the genetics to perform. Our bulls and heifers both go through a strict development program where they are culled for any number of reasons. We test individual performance, look at the pedigree, the dam’s production, the sire’s production, EPDs, structure, feet and legs, pelvic measurements, frame score, fluidity and ease of movement, disposition and the list goes on. We work closely with our veterinarian on our herd health program, and everything we sell is triple or quadruple vaccinated before you get it. We only sell the best that we produce for seedstock.
Whether your looking to wean more pounds, grow a better carcass for the butchering market, or make superior, long lasting females that just flat work, we have the genetics to make it happen.
We allow visitors to view the calf crop anytime after weaning, and start selling them on a first come basis after Feb 1st. We keep them all here until mid April when we semen test them and give them all their spring shots. All of our bulls and replacement heifers sell on a first come first serve private treaty basis.
