Braunvieh Sires

BRAUNVIEH GENETICS

Our A.I. and Braunvieh Herd sires are from a variety of genetics that we have incorporated into our herd over 25 years of  breeding Braunvieh cattle. We selected for; Gestation length, Calving Ease, Fertility, Performance, Eye Appeal, Carcass Value and Disposition in our Braunvieh blood lines.  We have produced winners in the show ring with two national show heifer champions from our genetics and several Beef Builder Show Heifers of the Year.   We have retained some of the top maternal traits out of our cows herd from these sires.   Their dam's are some of our top females with several generations to look back on for reference.  Big volume cattle with width, heart girth and structurally sound feet and legs are one of our selection criteria's.  


Even though we are not breeding Braunvieh full times like we used to we still have ​semen available and frozen embryos for sale.

FULLBLOOD BRAUNVIEH HERD SIRES

Silverwood Dragon 4Y Fullblood Braunvieh Bull

SILVERWOOD DRAGON 4Y

Silverwood Dragon 4Y   OB3578 (deceased)
Sire: Kerholm Robi Norman  CA3851  Dam: Starline Miss jenny 12U ET  CA4783
He consistently produces Champion Sons and daughters.   Six frame, square hips, deep rib, big foot and soundness. 
His daughters have beautiful udders and consistently produce superior progeny.
Number one in the breed for Yearling EPD.    Semen available $25.00 No AI Certificate


We purchased Silverwood Dragon in his prime in 1997 from the Randall Ranch in Broadus, Montana.  He consistently produced their top cattle and he went onto prove himself time and time again in ours and many herds in the states.  He was very docile and easy tempered.  Produced more herd sires than any other Fullblood bull we have ever used.  He was consistent in calving and his steers fed very well with big 18-19 inch rib eye's and average .18 - .25 back fat on carcass that graded yield grade 1-2. Marbling was outstanding!  We thought enough of Dragon that when he passed away we buried him in the front lake pasture.  His son's and daughters have proven his legacy.

TLC MAGNUM ET

Magnum  ET (Deceased)   OB31668
Sire: Silverwood Dragon 4Y   OB3578
Dam: GLB 814   OB1288
Magnum was a Silverwood Dragon son out of the famous 814 cow.   He was produced from a flush that we purchased from her in 1997.  Magnum was a keeper from the very beginning. Our friend Robert Goodwin saw his potential and acquired half interest in him when he was just a yearling.  He spent most of his time in south Texas on Roberts ranch and only made it back to Oklahoma once for our production sale one year.  He met an untimely death when lighting struck 11 head of Roberts. Fancy moderate framed cattle that had great eye appeal and performance.

Largest framed bull we ever used in our program but he had the best calving ease of almost any sire we used. We used him safely on heifers.   His daughters are simply awesome in all categories.   They have perfect udders, are great mothers and have great dispositions.  He had extreme bone and was very good on his feet and legs.  If you want to add frame, bone, muscle, length and depth to your herd.  Use Turnpike.   He is the grand sire to TLCC Hardy.  Turnpike is no longer in the herd.   He passed away in 2006.  He was a big gentle giant at the Thorne Ranch for many years.  He adds milk and pounds at weaning.
