LIBERTY VALANCE is a S.T.U.D. Even the heifers across the fence got caught gawking!
With explosive muscle shape, unmatched presence, and daughters that are redefining maternal function, this bull is quickly becoming the measuring stick for all of our sires.

If you’re serious about building a program with style, substance, and staying power… Consider his small sample of daughters selling November 22, 2025.

Owned with Futurity Pastoral, Australia.

Our pen of steers at Kennedy Cattle Co. They were sold on the grid and data will be collected. It was great to see them and evaluate the sire groups on the hoof.
