The McConnell family focuses on building a maternal herd to add pounds, muscle, longevity and fleshing ability with feed efficiency. Buyers could see that in the outstanding bred cow offering and the consistent quality across nearly 200 bulls.

Calving ease paired with early, rapid growth could be seen in a selection of 120 bulls that have a calving ease rating of one to four stars.

While their cattle have it all, the McConnells specialize in high altitude PAP tested bulls. This year’s offering included 140 bulls that were pastured near Laramie, Wyoming, with a PAP test elevation of 7,250 feet.
