BA Livestock

Welcome to BA Livestock

WOW, what a couple of years we at BA Livestock have had! We
have seen high highs and low lows all related to a bull my son Bryn
named stupid when we weaned him. He would run headlong full
blast into gates, try and hook everything as a calf and bucked like
none other at home with a dummy. When this bull was registered
we named him Tilta Whirl and branded him 433. The 4 for the year
he was born and the 33 for his Mother. We took him to a futurity
as a 2 year old in 2006 very confidant he would do well and he ran
off. We brought him home and bucked him and he was right in the
gate kicking over his head. Entered another futurity and he ran off.
In 2007 as a 3 year old we bucked him several times with a rider
and he was good and got better each trip. He won Dale Glory’s
derby at Talequah that fall. I tried to sell him and showed him to
several people but never was able to make a deal. Tilta Whirl went
to Kent Cox in November of 2007 and we entered him in his first
classic at OKC where he placed. From then on Kent hauled him and
we entered nearly all the classics that year and he got stronger and
stronger. He bucked a lot of guys off in the 1-2 second range for
which the judges did not reward him. When someone could ride
him 3-4 seconds we placed high. In the fall of 2008 Zach Gunter
called asking us to consign him to the ABBI sale and I said no we
would keep him. After a few days of thinking we called back and
agreed to consign him to the sale. One of the hardest decisions we
have ever made. He sold to Chad Berger in Las Vegas and his name
changed to Big Tex immediately. I said my good byes out there
after exercising him one morning at the pens with a tear in my eye.
The rest is history. You will find a lot of cattle from Big Tex’s sire
and dam including full and ½ sisters and brothers and we have the
first and only 2009 Big Tex calves, a bull and heifer and we are
expecting more natural and embryo calves in 2010. If we can help
in any way with semen, embryos or cattle feel free to contact us.
