2024 Cattlemen’s Congress Grand Champion Pen of 3 Braunvieh Bulls

We were proud of these three spring born bulls that were the Grand Champion Cattlemen’s Congress Pen of 3 at 10 months of age.  BLC Dream Weaver 711L, who anchored the pen, is a BLC High Noon 624J son that was champion bull last fall at Tulsa. BLC Kanza Dreamer 712L and BLC EZ Dream 270L are both sons of BLC EZ Sleep 811G. This is a pen of calving ease specialists with style and moderate growth.
