Welcome back to Genetics & the Gavel, powered by American Cattlemen Media. Just ahead, we have Gale McKinney, he's the owner of American Cattlemen Media, and he sits down with Riley Bradshaw, Owner of Bradshaw Ranch. In this episode, Riley and Gale will dive into the Bradshaw Ranch Bull Sale held on March 13th, 2026, at the F&T Livestock Market in Palmyra, Missouri.

Riley and his wife, Hannah, operate Bradshaw Ranch, continuing a generational legacy in agriculture that spans both row crops and livestock. Raised in Illinois working with hogs and cattle, Riley later attended Oklahoma State University. After college, he and his father committed to expanding their purebred cattle and seedstock operation, purchasing a group of cows from Hoffmans and steadily building a high-quality cow herd over the past six years. 

Riley explains that the core philosophy at Bradshaw Ranch centers on functional, efficient cows that hold up in real-world commercial conditions. The program aims to raise cattle that grow, perform, and add value at every stage—whether at weaning, in the feedyard, or on the rail—without sacrificing soundness, maternal strength, disposition, or structural correctness. Emphasis is placed on good feet, udders, muscle, balance, and overall longevity rather than chasing extreme EPDs.

The sale offering is broad and diverse, designed to fit many commercial herds and genetic goals. Riley and Gale walk through the lineup, which includes yearling and fall Angus bulls representing several prominent sire groups, including standout individuals noted for length, stoutness, structural soundness, and strong EPD profiles. The program also features pulled and horned Hereford bulls, including age-advantaged bulls ideal for producing F1 black baldy calves, as well as a select but powerful set of Simmental bulls known for performance and high weaning weights.

Bulls sell with a breeding-season guarantee through September 1, are semen tested, and are represented as ready to work. The ranch offers free delivery within a set radius, options for broader delivery on qualifying purchases, and volume discounts for buyers of multiple bulls.
