A rare combination of direct Scottish Genetics backed by the best U.S pedigree's have to offer. WL Riri is sired by the Scottish Import, Philip of Glengorm. This rugged bull adds style and bone to his calves. On the bottom side of Riri's pedigree is WL Kiki, a daughter of the late 2-Time National Champion Finley Falls Duncan and out of the 2007 NWSS Champion female, Summit Ranch Shaelyn. Riri brings a fresh Scottish look to the table with her square build and moderate size. Here's a female that will standout amongst the rest and cross nicely a wide variety of U.S Pedigrees.

High Ho Silver! BTTR Onyx is a good looking heifer out of our embryo program. Sired by the popular silver bull, CBS No Excuses. No Excuses is by 10-time grand champion and 2-time national champion Finley Falls Duncan & is out of the NWSS Reserve Champion Female, Skye High Excuse my French. Onyx's dam is HMS Lady Olive, a foundation cow here at Back to the Roots. Olive has great feet and a beautiful udder that's built to last. She's long bodied and produces daughters that become great dam's themselves. We believe Onyx will be no different. Don't miss a get opportunity to get your hands on a good looking heifer that everyone can enjoy.

Here's a fancy little heifer out of a cross we absolutely LOVE. WL Raya is sired by WL Genesis, a silver bull who stamps his daughters with function, femininity, and fertility. Raya is out of Gray Owl's Britta. A big big broody cow and cornerstone to our breeding program. This repeat cross is consistent in quality making it hard to not stop and stare. Raya is wide in the ribcage, deep in the heart girth, and tracks out beautifully as she floats across the ground. This is a heifer who is friendly and will excel in anyone's pasture!

Thick, long, and wider than your dad's dually. A 2 in 1 package. BTTR Snow is a 2yr old white heifer selling bred to BTTR Trenton for an early fall 2026 calf. Snow has been a standout since she was a calf. This girl has an extremely easy-going demeanor and has been shown by multiple youth showman. Snow has a neat pedigree you won't find very often. Sired by Top Gun I of Mapleview, a Ruger of Mapleview/Finola of Dirtane cross. This line of cattle did exceptionally well in the ring during the 90's and can still be found in many top pedigree's today, just not as close-up as Snow. This is a unique opportunity to get your hands on a high-demand female, ready to work, and who's "bun in the oven" is a sure bet for some color. 

As of 1/2/2026, Snow is selling confirmed bred to the Dun Bull pictured below, BTTR Trenton (CBS No Excuses x Head Acres New Years) - was about 45 days along when preg checked

A nice silver bull sired by 10-time grand champion and 2-time national champion Finley Falls Duncan, and out of NWSS reserve champion female Skye High Excuse my French. No Excuses is a fitting name, he's stout, square, and overall very balanced. This cross has made some nice females, including BTTR Vegas.

WL Jaguar is as cool and collected as you can find in a bull.  He is super docile, halter broke and easily leads from pasture at the site of a bucket.  Jaguar is long bodied, incredibly stout, and sits on a great foot with a lot of bone. His sire, Finley Falls Duncan, won the Champion Bull at more than 10 shows in a row.  He is also one of the only bulls to win the NWSS (Denver) as the Champion Bull two years in a row (2016 &17).  His dam is a tremendous cow, Schon Boden's Josie, who at 17 years old is still producing and raising calves. Josie is an American Highland Cattle Association (AHCA) Impact Dam, a wonderful testament to her proven longevity.  Jaguar's calves are moderately sized and growthy. Birthweights are heifer-safe (50-60lbs) and come in a wide array of colors due to his rich Dun color. if you're looking for a bull with proven genetics in and out of the show ring, Jaguar is for you!
