The Laue Ranch herdsires have been selected to complement and supplement each other generation-upon-generation. Because our breeding program takes a long term view, we have the luxury of sampling a variety of sire lines, from the popular to the obscure, and distilling them to suit our needs and those of our customers. Here are some examples from our current herdsire lineup.

LCL Masterplan
514 set a ranch record for weaning weight in our Red/Black program.
A February 13 calf, he weighed 96 at birth and 1030 on October 8,
yielding an adjusted weaning weight of 909. His gain came entirely
on grass and milk -- there was no creep feed to him or supplement to
his dam. He is by Gus and out of an off-white Doc Joe daughter. |

His dam was a sale-topping first calf heifer. She is an outcross to all color bloodlines, tracing entirely to the old-time Charolais greats of 4T, Michaelis, and Litton. Incredibly, she carries 9 crosses to the legendary Sam 951.

True to his pedigree, he moderates birth weight and frame size
