Saddle Butte bull calves.
The 2011 Calving Season
Heifers sired by the Pinebank bulls, 41/97, 152/04 and 14/02, have calved to Dunlouise Jipsey Earl. Other heifers, sired by sons of Carpenter of Wickwire, Codova of Wye or Favour of Wye, have calved to a son of Fabron of Wye or grandson of Prince of Malpas.
First calf heifers have calved to Pinebank North America 505-08 or Pinebank North America 544-08.
Cows have calved to Pinebank 41/97, Calvour of Wye, SBR Dragoon 709. As well, a select group have dropped calves sired by our purebred Scottish bulls, Shot of Scotch and Sinclair/Dunlouise 720 E.
Note that through Carpenter of Wickwire much of the herd carries the blood of Prince of Malpas, a foundation sire of Wye Angus. We are now able to linebreed to Jumor Eric of Southburn as he is the sire of Prince of Malpas and the grandsire of Shot of Scotch.
Our embryo transfer program has produced one bull out of Flora of Wickwire 342 by Dunlouise Jipsey Earl. 342 has produced three bulls which we have used in this herd. Two bulls out of Saddle B Miss Wix 345 (Reg. No. 16665625) by Pinebank 41/97. 345 is a F0203 daughter; this mating is powerful. Two bulls by Lonestar of Wye out of 15 year old Copeland of Wye 7546 are pure Wye genetics. One bull out of Saddle B Dixie Erica 389 by Pinebank 41/97 duplicates a mating that produced the top bull in 2009 which we retained.
In short, bulls sired by Jipsey Earl, sons of Fabron of Wye and Carpenter of Wickwire (Prince of Malpas), several Pinebank bulls, our own native Scottish herd sires, and sons of Calvour of Wye await your visit to the ranch.
We will select the top bull calves from these matings the first week in September. They may be viewed at their dam’s side until weaning. Many are spoken for early. After weaning we feed the yearling bulls conservatively until spring when they are fertility tested and ultrasounded by Tallgrass Beef.
Heifers For Sale
Our bottom end of the heifers are offered as commercial replacements at steer calf prices each year.
Cows for Sale
Also, in early September, we assemble a group of the most productive young cows for sale so that we can keep most of the heifers and move the herd forward genetically. These cows will be sired by the sons of great, proven bulls, namely Viking GD60, Angwin of Wye, Lionheart of Wickwire, Octoraro Viking 527, Carpenter of Wickwire, Codova of Wye, and Cameron of Wickwire.
Why buy an expensive commercial bred heifer that is of mixed pedigree and bearing a calf sired by a popular A.I. sire if the resulting progeny will not move you forward in a desired direction? More than likely the heifer cannot reproduce herself, and the A.I. sire will probably move the herd toward higher feed costs. I have never seen the attractiveness of ads that offer “one iron, black, fancy heifers”. One of my sale cows with a secure calving record and a thrifty, organized pedigree can do so much more!'

Embryos For Sale
Our donors were selected from Octoraro Angus in Breezewood, Pennsylvania. Sam Wylie’s cows are moderate, efficient, and productive. The program represents generations of breeding for traditional angus type. Maternal efficiency and least cost production are bred into these cattle.
We are presently flushing Saddle B Delia 340. She is a full sister to Octoraro’s top donor “860” cow who is an F0203 daughter of Delia 503, sired by Emulation 31, who lived for 22 years. She will be flushed to Dunlouise Jipsey Earl, Pinebank 41/97, and our own pure Scottish herd sire, “Shot of Scotch”.
We are also flushing Saddle B Dixie Erica 389. She is sired by Carpenter of Wickwire, a son of Prince of Malpas who was a foundation sire for Wye Angus and the creation of a great Scottish breeder, J.E. Kerr of Harviestoun Angus. We purchased 389’s dam, Dixie Erica of CH 2160, at the Cedar Hills dispersal. She was a small cow with a production record of 10 NR @ 105. Bred to Pinebank 41/97 389 produced the best bull calf of 2009 which we retained to breed first-calf heifers in 2011. Embryos sired by Jipsey Earl and Pinebank 41/97 are available.
Saddle B Delia 285 is a daughter of the top Octoraro foundation “503” cow sired by Fabron of Wye. We have Carpenter daughters in the herd. Embryos are available sired by Octoraro Viking 527, a son of Viking GD60 who is as good a bull as we have used. Embryos are also available sired by Dunlouise Jipsey Earl.
Saddle B Miss Wix 345 is an F0203 daughter out of the Pathfinder® Octoraro Miss Wix 910 who was selected by Brubaker Angus in Virginia in an early Octoraro sale. We inspected the “910” cow and found her to be very pleasing in type. We have numerous daughters in the herd. Embryos sired by Carpenter of Wickwire and Fahren of Wye are available.
Saddle B Miss Wix 339 is a full sister to “345”. We have Octoraro Viking 527 daughters in the herd. Embryos are available sired by Dunlouise Cortachy Boy.
Saddle B Miss Wix 354 is yet another daughter of the “910” cow sired by Emulation 31. We have numerous daughters in the herd as well as others out of her full sister, Saddle B Miss Wix 358. Recently we sold a pair of bulls sired by Dunlouise Cortachy Boy that look useful as heifer bulls and cow-makers. Embryos are available of that mating as well as others sired by Pinebank 41/97, Octoraro Viking 527 and Lodge of Wye.
Other cows soon to be flushed are: Octoraro Miss Wix 606, a double-bred F0203 who will be 15 this March; Octoraro Miss Wix 803, an Emulation 31 daughter of great capacity; Saddle B Lass 317, a daughter of Baxter Elite out of a foundation cow for this herd, Cedar Hills Lass 2027, whose record reads 8@107.
These embryos, representing the best genetics for feed efficiency, carcass, and maternal function, can position you for the move to grass-fed beef!
