WELCOME TO OUR 2026 PRODUCTION SALE!! 2025 brought record lows on cattle numbers nationwide and along with that record prices. The market for classes of cattle have been very strong and that trend looks to continue for 2026. When we look at heifer retention and cattle inventory numbers, we are seeing a trend, supply will stay well below demand for the next several years. We as cow/calf producers will be in the driver’s seat in this market. We believe this is a great opportunity to set your operation up for success in the years to come by increasing profitability with some of the best genetics in the breed. WHERE PERFORMANCE MEETS MATERNAL! We want to express our appreciation to all of our friends and customers for your support of our program throughout the years. We stress maternal traits in our herds without sacrificing performance with calving ease. We are family owned and operated ranches breeding Red Angus cattle since 1991. We utilize extensive AI and embryo transfer programs to provide you with the most advanced and very best genetics possible. We manage the cattle ourselves with limited hired help, so we can represent our cattle from a day-to-day and hands on perspective. We don’t chase fads! We breed for “BALANCED TRAIT SELECTION”. We think it’s vital for the cowman to watch maternal traits. We work very hard on our cowherds and would be happy to show them to anyone. We want medium frame cows with great udders and feet, quiet dispositions, and good mothering ability without chasing you out of the pen when she calves. Our cattle run from 4,500 feet to mountain grass at 8,000 feet in the summer. Our grazing conditions and grass quality vary significantly, causing weaning weights to vary significantly. Pay close attention to ratios and growth EPDs, rather than just actual weaning weights. We use the most advanced technology available – DNA testing, carcass evaluation, along with a strict culling program to give you, the customer the most accurate information possible and the highest quality that will help you stay profitable in the future. EPDs can change a little on some of the cattle between the printing of the catalog and sale time due to weekly runs of BOLT system. We will have a supplement sheet available sale day, on our websites as well as DV Auction prior to the sale with updated EPDs. Our bulls this year have been developed at Veltkamp Livestock Feedlot, located just west of Manhattan. They will be available for viewing there up until 2 days before sale at which point they will be available to view at Feddes Red Angus. Veltkamp’s are very experienced at developing bulls and have been developing over 1,200 bulls a year. The Feddes/C-T bulls and one other pen of bulls in the feedlot were the only bulls to get cut back on their growing ration due to exceptional performance. We feel that this is due to years and years of breeding performance and top genetics into our cattle. We like to develop our bulls to show their true genetic potential and grow them at a rate that will provide longevity of the bulls to our customers. This is why our philosophy is “WHERE PERFORMANCE MEETS MATERAL”. The sires that are represented in the catalog are bulls that we feel fit our breeding philosophies. Bulls we use either AI or natural service are evaluated first for foot quality and structure. If they pass, then we will begin to look at the genetics behind those bulls to make sure they fit within our breeding parameters and will achieve our desired genetics. We also look at their individual performance data, ratios, EPDs and individual ultrasound data. By going through this strict process, we minimize our number of mistakes. Videos will be available through links on our websites at feddesredangus.com and ctredangus.com. The sale will be broadcast on DV Auction if you are unable to attend in person. Feel free to call us or any of the sale day phones to bid or have bulls evaluated. We are so blessed to be able to support our kids and grandkids in various sports as well as 4-H, and other school, church and community activities. We are blessed to have great friends and customers throughout this great country. Above all we want to thank our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ for His amazing grace!!!! Blessings from the Feddes and DeBoer families
