Welcome to Snowshoe Cattle,
Our mission is to provide a balanced genetic package in all essential traits. For over 30 years, our emphasis has been on the cow, believing it takes a great cow to raise a great bull. Our cow herd must provide excellence in mothering ability, udder structure, athletic phenotype and quality carcass analysis without compromise.
We ensure that the bulls we raise and sell into both purebred and commercial herds are balanced in their phenotype with lots of growth, maternal performance and carcass. Our goal is to provide genetics that can multi-task.
We are committed to producing Hereford cattle that provide Balanced Genetics Without Compromise
-Bernie and Stacie Buzanowski

Snowshoe 719T Katie Y27

Dam of one of the top 5 bulls in the Breed for Carcass!

Snowshoe X51 Bannack Y27 19C   2015 Montana Fair Reserve Supreme Bull


Son: Snowshoe X51 Bannack Y27 19C

Katie Y27 has been noteworthy from the moment she hit the ground.  She has exhibited added volume and length of hip in an easy fleshing, great uddered package.  She is sound footed with both precision and fluid movement in her step.  It is hard to say which strikes you first upon viewing her: her wide table top or her expansive middle.  Both features only add to her total feminine maternal package.  She has been earning honors both in the show ring and in the pasture.  As a calf she earned Champion Female at the Northern International Livestock Expo (NILE) and was awarded the opportunity to appear in the Supreme Beef Challenge at Agribition.  She and her dam were also named Champion Cow Calf multiple times including the NILE.  Her trips out as a bred heifer were equally rewarding.  Now, as a mature cow she has continued to “Wow” us with her ability to produce outstanding calves.  She demonstrated this best at the JNHE this summer earning Reserve Champion Standard Cow Calf with her X51 sired bull calf at side.  She passes along her shape and design to her calves in a powerful and eye appealing package.   She will have a tremendous impact on the future of our program.

Dam: JDH Ms Durango 4037 21Z

We selected 40E and his full sister from the Delaney Hereford herd. An impressive son of 33Z, he is a combination package for calving ease, cow making and growth. He has been highly reliable on heifers regarding calving ease, while still providing excellent growth. Vic delivers added length of body and hip, while maintaining ample depth of rib. He has given us both marketable bulls and replacement quality females. His first daughters went into production in 2021 and have done a great job. They display nice, level udders with small teats, plenty of volume and excellent mothering ability.

REGISTRY NUMBER: P43920092

Dam: TH 403A 475Z PIONEER 358C ET

Sire: SJP LKP 18Z GLOBAL LADY 49B

His first calf crop has been low birth weight with very good growth. We have used him successfully on heifers and are continuing to do so. He is wide based with natural thickness and excellent pigment and is passing this along to his offspring. We are eagerly awaiting his second calf crop and looking forward to his influence in our program.



Snowshoe 42Z Mystic

Snowshoe 31U Tuff 31S 42Z
This young sire has drawn our attention every time we viewed him in the pasture with his dam. As our Lead-off bull in our Denver Pen, he carries extra thickness down his top and through his lower quarter. He offers genuine red meat, carrying only a 0.17 inch backfat with a 14.28 Rib Eye Area. He is correct and wide based, smooth shouldered and smooth polled. He has given us the performance we sought in a very tough year of drought and heat. His dam, 31S has earned Dam of Distinction honors for good reason. She has a weaning ratio of 114.6 on 5 calves and a yearling ratio of 108.5. At seven years of age she is in the prime of her production and her udder is the same: level, square made, well placed and ideal sized teats. She produced the dam of the Champion Carcass Steer/Class Winner for Lauren Prill at the 2012 JNHE. Her offspring have consistently been at the top of their calf crop. With all of this in mind, TUFF will be playing a very instrumental role in the future of our program. His first calves are very exciting!
His first calves have been exciting.

Dam: Remitall Graves Juno 204S

Mr Canada was of particular interest to us since we had the privilege of owning his grandsire, Lego.  We have Lego daughters in production that are broody, productive and have beautiful udders.  The sons have been high volume, thick and well received.  Mr Canada combines all of this with a bit more performance and a power dam – the Juno 204S cow.  Our first calves have impressed us with their performance and their style.  The heifers are growthy, broody and easy on the eyes.  The sons are impressive with their size, performance and phenotype.  We will offer the first sons in our 2019 Bull Selection Day and anticipate they will be well received.

This Rib Eye son is quickly becoming an integral part of our program. We used him on our heifers and calved out his first offspring this year. The calves came easy yet thrifty and are growing out nicely. We felt so strongly about him that we have used him more extensively this year. His dam is out of one of our foundation cow families and is very correct with plenty of volume and a faultless udder. 6Z was purchased in our 2013 Bull Selection Day by Bill Kuehn and now resides in Nebraska. Two 6Z sons topped our 2015 Bull Selection Day.  We are eagerly awaiting his first daughters in production Spring 2016.
