21 JLS POWER RANGER 3796 PLDWER RANGER 3796 PLD I believe this bull may have set a Ranch Record with his weaning weight. So, who is he? His sire was
our top-selling and top-performance bull in our 2016 sale selling to the Helling Ranch for $20,000.
REG. #: M897106
H/P/S: POLLED
BIRTH DATE: 3/29/17
This will be his fi rst calf crop weaned and sold this year. As I watched the sire of this lot 21 bull being
JDJ ZETHUS A75 BHD ZEUS X3041 fed as a yearling, I knew shortly after weaning that fall of 2015 that the 5099 bull was seeming to grow
faster than any other bull in the pen. So, I made a phone call to Brett DeBruycker of Dutton, MT, owner
JLS RANGER 5099 |JDJ MS SITTINGB Y623 of BHD Zeus X3041, and asked him to tell me about his bull. Brett told me that they also noticed a fast

cow, was a proven producer as her dam was the high-selling female in our 2010 female sale going to
95 941 127 1568 3.9 39.0 3.4 1.1 46 77 5 2.8 28 1.1 Sandmeier Charolais and they sold the bull calf she was carrying for $10,000 that year in their sale.
That cow, 0766, also produced a herd sire for R Lazy B Charolais. So, what does this all prove? Well,
we all know that traits are hereditary in cattle. You can call it growth, gain ability, feedlot performance,
but it’s all the same – converting feed to red meat. Some cattle do it a lot faster than others. I believe
that Lot 21 has that ability and has the genetic power to pass that trait along to his progeny. I have
been breeding for gain for 43 years. It’s worth quite a little to a family like the DeBruyckers that feed
thousands of head in their feedlot a year. He is worth a look, that’s for sure!
