WHY
HOOK AND WULF FAMILIES WORKING TOGETHER
1
WHY
Honestly analyzing talents and resources along with business goals, it becomes obvious a TEAM pulling in the same direction can accomplish more than an individual effort. Jim and Tom have known each other since meeting as teenagers showing cattle at the MN State Fair 4-H show in the mid 1970's. While each was passionate about their breed of cattle, there was a mutual respect for how each competed: fairly and honesty. Through the decades, the beef industry and specifically the seedstock business would cause their paths to cross and the same mutual respect for each family's growing operations was shared. When Jim and Twyla decided to make a business decision to purchase their own ranch, Tom was contacted to consult about purchasing Simmental seedstock. The two families have been working cooperatively together, while keeping their individual ownership and operations.
WHY
DNA TEST | ULTRASOUND | PERFORMANCE TEST ALL BULLS

Bred for Balance
WHY
The answer is simple: To provide our fellow beef producers with the most accurate and comprehensive data to make their seedstock selections. The bull selections made this spring will affect cowherds well beyond the next decade.....Make your selection from a seedstock provider who gives you all the data to make a wise decision
LOOKING INTO THE FUTURE
Once you lay eyes on the rolling glacial ridge pastures and ranch, where the Wulf's live, one is hard pressed to find a better cow/calf environment and set-up in the upper Midwest.
We have been excitedly awaiting the completion of this years bull performance tests at Wulf's state of the art Bull Development Center, which is the site of the annual Bred For Balance Sale. Please join us in 2020 on Feb 14th at 1:00 PM for the sale. We look forward to seeing you there!
