Bulls for Sale
We develop bulls differently here at Deep Grass Graziers. They are grown slowly on high quality forages, baleage, and hay. We believe this prevents feet and fertility issues that can arise from an energy intense ration which balloons bulls to fat, eye appealing proportions in very little time. Its cheaper and easier to put bulls in a lot and feed them a ration, but when you get your bull home and he starts breeding cows, many producers watch their big strapping bull 'melt' under the work of breeding and the lack of energy in our southeastern grasses. A high energy ration also doesn't discriminate against those bulls that are not efficient pasture converters. Our bulls work for their meal ticket, and its easy to separate the efficiency converters from the average.
Our genetics have been sourced from lineages built around great cows. We breed for reproductive longevity, which promotes fertility and structural soundness first and foremost. We recommend our genetics for customers who want to save or sell replacement heifers, and build their herd around moderate-sized, efficient cows that are great at turning grass into profit.
Our bulls are not terminal. Our steer calves have adequate growth, but we are not trying to breed giant cows that are more costly to maintain. Consequently, most of our bulls frame scores are from 3 to 5, and will weigh between 1600-1900 lbs at full maturity on a southern pasture diet. Full maturity occurs between 4 and 5 years of age developed our way. Most of our bulls are low birthweight, and safe to use on heifers. The females from our bulls will mature at weights between 1000-1300lbs, depending on frame score and BCS. Our goal is to wean over 50% of our dam's bodyweight in to and throughout her teenage years. We aim to do this with minimal inputs and under a 45 day breeding window.
We are not in this business to brag about our weaning weights, we are in this business to make money, improve our soils, and enjoy doing it. Our bulls are a great value compared to more popular "grass genetics" that have been well marketed over the past few years, and really thrive in our Southeastern soils and forages.

Most of the bulls developed over the winter of '23/'24 survived on low-medium quality hay. This includes the young bulls. About a month ago we pulled the coming long yearlings and bulls under 3 years old and moved them to winter annuals. The gas pedal is now on the floor and they are doing what they were bred to do: thrive on grass. We have 30 bulls available, mostly Black Angus and Red Angus and a couple South Poll/Red Angus and Senepol/Angus. Most of our bulls are heifer safe. We consider ourselves one of the better kept secrets in the SE for maternal, low input Angus and Angus cross genetics. We don't want to be a secret, but don't market as well as our competitors from other regions. Don't judge our bulls on their price tag. We hope they are more expensive every year as more folks come to learn what a value they are for producing sons that can grade on grass, and daughters that work most places East of the MS and some West. Videos coming soon. Call to schedule a visit to see for yourself.
Prices range from $4000-$5500.

DGG 140K- $4500 SOLD!
Forage only 3 year old. He got pressured pretty hard in year one and two with very little annuals. Just got on good oat grazing this past FEB and is starting to compensate. A bull with a lot of maternal merit, slick hided, and enough frame to produce sons that would work in mainstream markets. He's docile and trained to a single wire. 4.5 frame score. RAA 4714113
Will update picture in the next two weeks.

DGG 29-$4500. sold!
3 year old 1/2 Oliver Wye, 1/2 Senepol meat tank. Ready to make your grass fed beef great again!
DGG 183K-$4500 sold!
Somehow in our haste we never got this guy registered. Will jump through the hoops of registering for a small fee if you need it for your program. He's is out of a promising young Southern Red's cow we purchased and one she raised as her second calf. His coat quality is exceptional, incredible disposition, good scrotal feet, and conformation. No holes in this bull and top and bottom side of pedigree are strong in maternal goodness. Can send parents pedigrees if interested.
Herd Sires for Sale
We are shifting gears here at DGG starting this year and will only be saving around 10 bulls per year from a group of 150+ male calves. We will start selling our herd sires earlier and using younger bulls sooner, increasing our generational interval. We have always focused on our top cows, but it will become the primary criteria of our selection process, alongside docility and structure. We will have our first online female sale in NOV 25' and bull sale in April 26', but will be selling private treaty for a few more months. Stay tuned for more details.
DGG 173h-$5500-SOLD!
The best son of our favorite commercial cow. We've used this bull for the past 3 years and will use him again if no one decides to take him home. He just turned 5 years old and carries himself quite well. Good feet, gait, scrotal, and just plain adapted to the poor soil and weedy pastures we call our proving grounds. We have two sons that we've retained so are comfortable letting him go. A great opportunity to cherry pick some of the best genetics we've ever produced.

DGG 173H dam, DGG 103F. She raised him as a heifer, pictured here in 2020. She has raised a top calf every time since.

DGG 103f pictured as a 3 year old. She calved first this year (2025) and has already blown back up to BCS 6, 40 days later on hay and winter weeds.

DGG 236h-$5500
236h's mother was one of the top producing cows we've ever owned, a registered Hereford we bought many years ago from Dillard Polled Hereford's dispersal. Top side of the pedigree was straight Trask and acquired by Teddy Gentry for the creation of the South Poll breed. She finally came up open last year at 15 years old. DGG 236H as one of the few sons she made after a string of daughters that she contributed to the herd. He was the best son she produced and has been making some great baldies on our place for the past 3 years. He is a son of our Calvo Warrior 50a red Angus bull, the top selling bull at his sale in 2015. 236H is a 4.5 frame Red baldy bull with a touch more growth and birthweight than most of our offerings. Not a sleep all night heifer bull, but one that you should be pleased with both sons and daughters. Last year's photo until I get a good one of him. He's a tick bigger today.
DGG 202h-$5500
A son of the Senepol bull that we sold to David Hall at Ozark Hills, topping the Pharo composite bull sales each year, 202H is out of the top producing Red Angus cow we bought from Michael Vance (Southern Reds) years back. He is her most impressive son and one we've used each year since he was ready to work. While he does not carry the slick hair gene, he does have tremendous depth of body, muscle, and heterosis to his offspring. He's probably the heaviest bull in the offering and one who would excel at making grass finished beef.
|
Today he's all meat and muscle.
DGG 202h as a calf with his dam, SR Hazel 543 (RAA 3509227) a 5L Craftsman daughter. (one of the few true female makers of the 5L herd). His dam is 10 years old and raised a top bull last year that we retained, still going strong.

At 3 years old.
