Auctioneers: C. D. "Butch" Booker and Rick Machado
Sale Manager: American Angus Hall of Fame
This sale was billed as the Complete and Total
Opportunity Sale and it closed out the Idaho chapter for Bear Mountain Angus
Ranch. The Stoller family, Gary and Davy along with their son Brian, had
established themselves as a reliable and dependable source of current Angus
genetics in the trade area of Idaho, Nevada, Oregon and surrounding states.
Their dedication to improving their bull offering and to staying abreast of the
fast-changing Angus scene made them a favorite of many of the West’s top
commercial cattle outfits. Their bull sales always attracted solid buying crowds
and their female sales caught the attention of the industry. Change is constant
and with the closing of the Idaho chapter and the new chapter being opened with
the move to Palisades, NE, the Bear Mountain program will continue and the
current trade area’s loss will be the new trade area’s gain as Nebraska gains a
wonderful family and a solid Angus program. TOPS: Bear Mtn Barbara 2112,

offering a lot of genetic combinations and yet, with a certain uniformity of
kind and performance. Quality and consistency were quite evident. As always,
there is something for everyone. Purebred breeders, AI bull studs, and

WBCIA BULL TEST SALE
April 5, Riverton, NE
64 Black Angus bulls $2,122
29 Red Angus bulls $2,506
Auctioneer: Ty Thompson
Robert and Paige Pingetzer once again hosted the 23rd WBCIA Bull Test Station
Sale. The bulls appeared in excellent condition and the quality of the offering
looked to be very uniform in their character traits. Due to higher than usual
corn prices, the ration was changed slightly this year and yet, as Bob Pingetzer
stated in the sales catalog and at sale time, they feed for a 3-25 per day gain
and yet the bulls performed above that. This he felt was a reflection of the
quality of the genetics being brought to the station by the producer
participants in the test. The temperature of the day was in the low to middle
50s, however the wind was a little on the raw side. The sale started with an
awards program which recognized the producers exhibiting the top performing
sires in the test. Auctioneer Ty Thompson conducted a snappy sale throughout the
sale order. TOPS—Black Angus: Willwood BiFocal 7664, 1/29/07, by Mitty In Focus;
