Frey Angus Ranch Production Sale
Welcome
Dear Friends and Customers, As we write this letter, it is hard to believe that we have had Angus cattle on this ranch for 75 years and this will be our 50th Annual Production Sale. It seems like it took some time to have the cattle market that we have today. It has sure been worth the wait even though it took 75 years and coming up on our 50th sale. We recently took weights on the bulls after 90 days on test and were quite Hello and welcome to our 50th Annual Bull Sale! Sunday, February 2, 2025 • Granville, ND
Lynsey, Edward, Arlen, Lynn & Dustin
pleased with their gain since weaning. Their average daily gain was 3.64 lbs. per day with an average projected yearling weight of 1432 lbs. Their average adjusted weaning weight was 850 lbs. I’m sure that the performance in these cattle today would have been hard to imagine 50 or 75 years ago. Driving the science of better breeding through genetic selection has been a source of improvement as well as good old cowboy logic and perseverance. The technology that we have today has made our results a lot easier to come by and enjoy at the same time. This set of bulls is very unique in the fact that a number of sires are represented however they are very consistent in type and kind. We have strived to select and breed for cattle that meet our criteria for structural soundness, performance and look. We strive to produce qual- ity in the offering, cattle that have the type and look that command attention when they enter the sale ring. Cattle that gain you a reputation and make you proud as well as prosperous. Only in recent years have we begun to write footnotes for the offering. In the past we provided individual performance information, carcass ultrasound data, EPDs and relied on the offering to sell themselves and they had done that very well. With the advent of DNA testing for genomic-enhanced EPDs, we are able to identify certain traits the individuals excel in with increased predictability. For your benefit, we have identified individual traits where they rank in the higher percentile of the breed. Whether it be growth, maternal, carcass, calving ease, foot structure, fertility or $ values, there are certain individuals that excel in a number of various traits and are identified as such. The bulls have been developed on a sound growing ration with complete performance and carcass information. All bulls and females have been DNA tested under the ANGUS GS program for enhanced EPDs, parentage verification and are free of genetic defects. They will be fertility tested by a licensed veterinarian, accompanied with a breeding certificate and delivered to your ranch after April 1st at no charge with a freeze brand and footrot shot. The females being offered are all those that calve after April 1st regardless of the exceptional attributes that they may have. The sale offering will be sorted and penned on display for your evaluation. The cattle will be sold in catalog order via big screen TV in our heated sale barn. A video of the entire offering will be on our website as well as on www.dvaution.com. We have provided a number of photos as well to view in the event if you wish to bid online. In closing, we appreciate your support in the past and look forward to working with you in the future, whether you have been a customer in the past or are here for the first time. Again, we invite you to be with us Sunday, February 2nd, 2025. Come early for a complimentary beef lunch. If we can be of assistance, please do not hesitate to call. You are welcome to come and view the cattle at any time. Also, the sale is no longer on SUPER BOWL SUNDAY. It is the Sunday prior. The Freys For a video of the entire offering, visit www.DVAuction.com The sale will be broadcast live on the internet.

There is a difference with cattle purchased from Frey Angus Ranch
3 The cattle will be cataloged according to the sale order. 3 You can evaluate selections with complete meaningful ratios for weaning, gain, yearling and scrotal performance. 3 You have the most updated EPD information available for birth, weaning, combined maternal traits, yearling weights, scrotal size and carcass traits. 3 Bulls will be evaluated for carcass merit by ultrasound. 3 You purchases will not have been exposed to other cattle in stock- yard facilities – they are born, tested and sold at the ranch. These are all FAR-bred and raised cattle. 3 Your purchases will have been developed on a feed test ration designed for optimum roughage utilization, genetic expression and soundness. They are naturally thick and heavy muscled. 3 You can obtain cattle from a cowherd that is successfully AI-bred for a 60-day calving period and noted for calving ease. 3 Your bulls will have been screened for fertility soundness and testi- cle measured – you cannot risk anything else. 3 You can find bulls not only ideal for first-calf heifers, but also good enough and big enough you’ll want to use them on your cows as well. Many January and February yearlings.
3 Calving-ease bulls will be identified and recommended for use on heifers. Nearly one-half of the bulls are calving ease. 3 You can put together uniform groups of half- and three-quarter brothers. Uniformity is a bred-in trait with these cattle. 3 Your purchases will represent over 70 years of selection for cattle that calve easily, milk and grow. Many of the cattle will have from 6 to 10 generations of FAR breeding. 3 Your bulls will be unconditionally guaranteed for injury through breeding season. A replacement will be made available or credit in forthcoming sales for those bulls which fail to breed, as indicated in the terms and conditions. 3 Free delivery will be offered on bulls selling to North Dakota and adjacent states. Your purchases will be delivered directly to your ranch facilities. Reasonable costs on delivery elsewhere will offered as well. 3 Feeding arrangements will be available on the bulls at a charge of $3 per day. 3 Your purchases will be affordable. This volume of quality cattle selling will sell in everyone’s price range. You’ll get the most for your dollar. 3 Volume discounts available.

Glossary & EPD Explanations
PERFORMANCE DATA All of the EPDs, birth weights, 205-day weights, ratios and carcass information in this catalog are official data processed by the American Angus Association and Red Angus Association of America. The infor- mation was the most current information available prior to printing the catalog. Supplemental information will be available sale day. EXPECTED PROGENY DIFFERENCES EPDs are the prediction of how progeny from each animal is expected to perform relative to the progeny of other animals in the Angus breed. As data continues to accumulate, accuracy levels rise and EPDs will shift accordingly. CALVING EASE DIRECT (CED) Is expressed as a difference in percentage of unassisted births with a higher value indicating greater calving ease in first-calf heifers. It predicts the average difference in ease with which a sire’s calves will be born when he is bred to first-calf heifers. Breed average is +6. BIRTH WEIGHT EPD (BW) Expressed in pounds, is a predictor of a sire’s ability to transmit birth weight to his progeny compared to that of other sires. Breed average is +1.3. WEANING WEIGHT EPD (WW) Expressed in pounds, is a predictor of a sire’s ability to transmit weaning growth to his progeny compared to that of other sires. Breed average is +67. YEARLING WEIGHT EPD (YW) Expressed in pounds, is a predictor of a sire’s ability to transmit yearling growth to his progeny compared to that of other sires. Breed average is +117. SCROTAL CIRCUMFERENCE (SC) Scrotal measurements in centimeters will be cataloged on all bulls selling. A measurement of 33 centimeters is considered acceptable for yearling bulls. The larger the measurement is a good indication of semen volume one can expect from each bull. Scrotal circumference in catalog is adjusted to 365 days of age for yearling bulls. Older bulls are actuals. DOCILITY (DOC) Is expressed as a difference in yearling cattle temperament, with a higher value indicating more favorable docility. Breed average is 19. CLAW SET EPD (CLAW) Is expressed in units of claw-set score, with a lower EPD being more favorable indicating a sire will produce progeny with a more ideal claw set. Breed average is 0.49. FOOT ANGLE EPD (ANGLE) Is expressed in units of foot angle score, with a lower EPD being more favorable indicating a sire will produce progeny with a more ideal foot angle. Breed average is 0.47. MATERNAL MILK EPD (MILK) Is a predictor of a sire’s genetic merit for milk and mothering ability as expressed in his daughters compared to daughters of other sires. In other words, it is that part of a calf’s weaning weight attributed to milk and mothering ability. Breed average is +26.
CARCASS WEIGHT EPD (CW) Expressed in pounds, is a predictor of the differences in hot carcass weight of a sire’s progeny compared to progeny of other sires. Breed average is +54. MARBLING EPD (MARB) Expressed as a fraction of the difference in USDA marbling score of a sire’s progeny compared to progeny of other sires. Breed average is +0.75. RIBEYE AREA EPD (RE) Expressed in square inches, is a predictor of the difference in ribeye area of a sire’s progeny compared to progeny of other sires. Breed average is +0.69. FAT THICKNESS EPD (FAT) Expressed in inches, is a predictor of the differences in external fat as measured between the 12th and 13th rib of a sire’s progeny com- pared to progeny of other sires. MATERNAL WEANED CALF VALUE ($M) An index, expressed in dollars per head, predicts profitability differ- ences from conception to weaning. Traits included are as follows: calving ease direct, calving ease maternal, weaning weight, milk, heifer pregnancy, docility, mature cow weight, claw set and foot angle. Breed average is +64. WEANED CALF VALUE ($W) An index, expressed in dollars per head, to predict profitability differ- ences in progeny due to genetics from birth to weaning. Traits includ- ed are as follows: birth weight, weaning weight, milk and mature cow weight. Breed average is +61. FEEDLOT VALUE ($F) An index, expressed in dollars per head, to predict profitability differences in progeny due to genetics for post weaning feedlot merit compared to progeny of other sires. Traits included are as follows: yearling weight (gain), carcass weight and dry-matter intake. Breed average is +93. GRID VALUE ($G) An index, expressed in dollars per carcass, to predict profitability dif- ferences in progeny due to genetics for carcass grid merit compared to progeny of other sires. Traits included are as follows: carcass weight, marbling, rib eye and fat. Breed average is + 55. BEEF VALUE ($B) An index value expressed in dollars per head, is the expected average difference in future progeny performance for post-weaning and carcass value compared to progeny of other sires. Breed average is +152. COMBINED VALUE ($C) An index expressed in dollars per head, which includes all traits that make up both Maternal Weaned Calf Value ($M) and Beef Value ($B) with the objective that commercial producers will replace 20% of their breeding females per year with replacement heifers retained within their own herd. Breed average is +260.

Glossary & EPD Explanations
Driving the science of better breeding There’s little room for error in the cattle business. Producers need the most advanced information to make smart selection decisions, and Angus Genetics Inc. (AGI) provides it through genomic-enhanced expected progeny differences (GE-EPDs). GE-EPDs have become the industry standard for herd improvement, building on decades of science-backed genetic evaluation tools originated and maintained through the American Angus Association ® , home to the largest and ever- growing single-breed beef cattle database. EPDs that traditionally contained all pedigree, performance and progeny information now also include results from available genomic, or DNA, tests. Breeders who use genomic technology give buyers access to AGI-generated GE-EPDs that provide:
Increased predictability and decreased risk for young and unproven animals due to enhanced accuracy of EPDs Better characterization of genetics for difficult-to-measure performance traits (such as carcass traits, maternal traits and feed efficiency) The ability to make more rapid progress for traits that are important to you, due to: · more accurate selection · easier identification of genetic outliers · the ability to propagate young animals with confidence earlier in their lives
In fact, GE-EPDs on unproven animals have the same amount of accuracy as if they had recorded 8-33 calves, depending on the trait. That’s valuable insight, offered regularly through the breed’s weekly national cattle evaluation.

At the option of the buyer, the seller may issue a credit to the buyer for use in a future purchase or provide an animal of equal value subject to the approval of buyer. If the buyer exercises either such option, the claim shall be deemed fully and satisfactorily resolved. However, in the event that the buyer requests a refund of the purchase price, the seller may, at its option, either issue a refund of the full purchase price or, shall have 180 days from the date the animal is returned to the seller’s farm to conduct a trial to demonstrate the returned animal is a breeder. Refund of the full purchase price or demonstrated proof that the animal is a breeder during the test trial shall be deemed full satisfaction and settlement of the claim. Any expense incurred for transporting an animal claimed to be a non-breeder will be the responsibility of the buyer, except that the seller will be responsible for transportation costs in excess of the distance between the buyer’s farm and the location where the sale took place. If the seller proves the animal to be a breeder, it will be the obligation of the buyer to take delivery of the animal and pay all transportation expenses. 4. If a female sold as “safe in calf” proves not to be in calf, the seller must make a satisfactory adjustment on the purchase price to the buyer or, at the buyer’s option, refund the purchase price upon return of the animal to the farm of the seller. Any claim for adjustment or refund under this paragraph must be made in writing to the seller on or before the first anniversary of the date of the sale. 5. If a female represented as “safe in calf” to a certain bull at the time of sale proves to have been bred to a different bull, the seller must make a satisfactory adjustment on the purchase price to the buyer or, at the buyer’s option, refund the purchase price upon return of the animal to the farm of the seller. Any claim for adjustment or refund under this paragraph must be made in writing to the seller on or before the first anniversary of the date of sale. 6. If a female sold as “open” proves to be with calf, the buyer may return the animal to the farm of the seller prior to calving for a refund of the full purchase price or for another animal of equal value, whichever is acceptable to the buyer. The Seller is responsible for all transportation expenses. 7. White skin or hair must not be painted or altered. If such painting or alteration has occurred, the buyer may return the animal to the farm of the seller for a refund of the full purchase price or for another animal of equal value, whichever is acceptable to the buyer. 8. If an animal is sold and subsequently becomes ineligible for registration under the rules of the American Angus Association for reasons other than incorrect parentage, the seller must make a satisfactory adjustment on the purchase price to the buyer, or at the option of the buyer, refund the purchase price upon the return of the animal to the farm of the seller. 9. If an animal (including the offspring of a pregnant recipient) is sold and through parentage verification is proven to have incorrect parentage, as represented by the animal’s certificate of registration, and for which correct parentage can be determined, the seller is obligated to make a satisfactory adjustment on the purchase price to the buyer or, at the buyer’s option, refund the purchase price upon the return of the animal to the farm of the seller. Any claim for adjustment or refund under this paragraph must be made in writing to the seller on or before the second anniversary of the date of the sale. 10. If the resulting calf of a pregnancy is not of the sex represented at the time of the sale, the seller is obligated to make a satisfactory adjustment on the purchase price to the buyer or, at the buyer’s option, refund the purchase price upon the return of the animal to the farm of the seller. Any claim for adjustment or refund under this paragraph must be made in writing to the seller on or before the first anniversary date of the sale. 11. Unless stated otherwise, all transportation expenses incurred will be the responsibility of the buyer, except that the seller will be responsible for transportation costs in excess of the distance between the buyer’s farm and the location where the sale took place. Disclosure or Retention of Genetic Materials 1. If seller retains any genetic materials of an animal being sold that can be used for cloning, the seller must disclose such fact to any potential buyers prior to the sale. GENETIC CONDITIONS: REQUIRED DISCLOSURES RELATING TO CERTAIN TEST RESULTS OR POTENTIAL CARRI- ER STATUS OF AN ANIMAL. 1. In advance of any sales of an animal, the seller shall have the affirmative duty to notify any potential buyer of (1) any test results in which an animal for sale has tested positive (under a test and at a laboratory approved by the American Angus Asso- ciation) as a carrier of any genetic conditions recognized by the American Angus Association, and (2) whether the animal has a potential carrier designation on its pedigree for any genetic condition that is recognized by the American Angus Association. Optional Guarantee: Genetic Conditions 1. The buyer and seller may determine the scope and duration of a guarantee, if any, on an individual basis. The seller may, but is not required, to provide a guarantee to the buyer relating to genetic conditions. 2. Nothing contained herein should be construed to relieve the parties from complying fully with all the rules and policies of the Association relating to genetic conditions generally or individually. MISCELLANEOUS 1. The above terms and conditions of sale constitute a contract between the buyer and the seller of each animal and are equally binding upon both parties. Each sale or resale of an animal constitutes a separate transaction. 2. Neither the American Angus Association nor any director, officer, employee or representative of the Association or any of its related entities assumes any liability, legal or otherwise, in connection with any sale or transaction conducted under the terms of the Suggested Sales Terms and Conditions. Nor shall the American Angus Association, its directors, officers, employees or representatives assume any liability or be responsible in any way for enforcing the terms and conditions of any agreement between buyer and seller. 3. Neither the sponsor or sponsors, the sale manager, nor any other person connected with the management of the sale, assumes any liability, legal or otherwise. 4. These sale terms and conditions and all rights, obligations and duties arising hereunder and all disputes arising hereunder will be construed in accordance with, and governed by, the laws of the state in which the sale of the animal or animals occurs, without giving effect to such state’s choice of law rules. UNLESS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY STATED IN THESE SALE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OR ANY OTHER WRITTEN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES RELATING TO THE SALE OF ANGUS CATTLE UNDER THESE SALE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, SELLER MAKES NO OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, EVEN IF SUCH PURPOSE IS KNOWN TO THE PARTIES. THE REMEDIES PROVIDED IN THESE SALE TERMS AND CONDITIONS ARE THE EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES OF THE BUYER, OR ANY PARTY CLAIMING THROUGH THE BUYER, AND UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL THE SELLER BE LIABLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES UNDER ANY INDEMNITY PROVISION OR OTHERWISE.
1. If there is any inconsistency in the terms of any sales materials, including sale books, supplement sheets or day-of-sale announcements, (i) the day-of-sale announcement will control over both the supplement sheet and the sale book, and (ii) the supplement sheet will control over the sale book. Cash Sale 1. All sales are for cash unless satisfactory credit arrangements, including any possible reservation of security interest by the seller, have been made with the seller prior to sale. Buyer’s Risk at the Time of Sale 1. The risk of loss and injury of each animal passes to the buyer as soon as it is sold; however, it is the obligation of the seller to ensure that sold animals are fed and cared for free of charge to the buyer until loaded for shipment or until the expiration of 24 hours after the sale, whichever occurs sooner. Identification Responsibilities 1. Prior to the sale, the seller must ensure that each animal has a readable permanent identification mark (e.g., tattoo, hot-iron brand or freeze brand) corresponding to its registration. 2. The buyer must check all permanent identification marks for accuracy upon possession and report any discrepancies or irregularities to the seller immediately. 3. In those cases where a nickname is used by the seller, the nickname must also be accompanied by the official registered name and number of the animal. Certificates of Registration 1. A transferred certificate of registration must be furnished by the seller free of charge to the buyer for each animal within 45 days following the later of either the date of sale or upon the receipt of full payment. Artificial Insemination (AI) Service Certificates 1. AI Service certificates will be the responsibility of the buyer unless otherwise specified by the seller. GUARANTEES Health 1. Unless otherwise announced, the seller guarantees that all animals are eligible for interstate shipment as required by applicable federal and state regulations. Conformance with Registration 1. The seller guarantees that all sold animals are registered in accordance with the rules of the American Angus Association. 2. The seller guarantees to the buyer that all sold animals conform to the registration certificate as entered in the Herd Book of the American Angus Association. 3. The seller guarantees to the buyer that with respect to all females exposed to multiple service sires, each such service sire will have parentage markers on file with the American Angus Association. (As adopted February 21, 2014) *These Suggested Sales Terms and Conditions have been drafted for optional use by sellers in multiple types of transactions including auctions, internet auctions, private treaty sales and private treaty sale “bid offs.” Whether to use them as drafted, as modified, or not at all, is left to the independent business judgment of every seller. They are for sellers’ consideration and voluntary use. Pedigree, Performance and Genetic Information 1. The seller guarantees to the buyer that the pedigree, performance data and genetic information, as represented in any sales materials (including any sale book, supplement sheet or day-of-sale announcement), are accurate. The seller shall provide “as of” date for all information from the American Angus Association database. 2. The absence of any such designation on the pedigree of an animal, as set forth in any sales materials, does not establish that the animal in question is not a carrier of any such genetic factor. 3. In those cases where a commonly understood nickname is used by the seller, the seller guarantees the pedigree of the animal based on the commonly understood nickname. Sex 1. Unless otherwise represented by the seller, there are no guarantees that offspring will be of a particular sex. Breeding Guarantees 1. The seller guarantees that all animals are breeders, with the exception of: (a) calves under 12 months of age at the time of the sale; (b) animals shown after the sale has occurred (in such cases, the breeding guarantees, if any, will be those guarantees as are agreed upon between the seller and the buyer); (c) animals who suffer injury or disease following the sale; and (d) animals subjected to gross negligence by or willful misconduct on the part of the buyer. 2. The seller guarantees that all bulls are breeders for a period of 90 days following the initial turn out with buyer’s herd, but only if such bulls are at least 12 months old at the time of sale and have not been allowed to run with the herd until at least 14 months of age. A bull that settles a cow by natural service and passes a fertility test performed by a competent veterinarian or reproductive technician mutually agreed upon by the buyer and the seller will be considered a breeder. Unless otherwise agreed 4. “Safe-in-calf” females are guaranteed by the seller to have been examined by a competent veterinarian or reproductive technician and determined to be safe-in-calf by examination or other proven method (e.g., ultrasound, pregnancy blood tests, and rectal palpation). 5. “Served” females are not guaranteed to be in calf. 6. “Pasture-bred” females have been exposed but are not guaranteed to be in calf. 7. “Open” females are guaranteed by the seller to be without calf. 8. Donor females: a. Unless otherwise agreed by the buyer and the seller, a female that has been used in an em- bryo transfer program is not guaranteed to be a breeder after the date of the sale. b. Unless otherwise agreed by the buyer and the seller, a female is not guaranteed to be a breeder after the date of the sale, when that female is to be used, or attempted to be used, in an embryo transfer program. 9. The seller makes the following guarantees with respect to all “pregnant recipients”: (i) that the female is pregnant, (ii) that the resulting calf is of the pedigree represented, and (iii) that the resulting calf is of the sex represented (if so represented). Semen 1.

T he P eople ... At the Frey Angus Ranch, you have three cattlemen riding herd on your investment. Your investment represents 75 years of breeding and selection for cattle that are acceptable in size, correct in structure, sound in their movement, and functional on the range, in the feedlot, and desirable as the end product to the consumer. Cattle that calve easy, breed back quickly, milk and grow. They do it consistently and in a superior manner. Our records show it, our cattle prove it and we guarantee it. Count on these bulls to make a difference in your operations profit. We intend to see to it that our cattle make a difference in your program. You deserve nothing less. T he C attle ... At the Frey Angus Ranch, the cattle are measured for profit. - Profit is a live calf at birth - Profit is a good milking, sound-uddered cow that breeds back quickly and weans a heavy calf every year - Profit is a carcass of high value and quality - Profit is eventually determined by herd sire selections Here you will be able to select from value-added bulls where profit and quality are stressed right down to the last bull to sell. The bulls offered will have a strong maternal influence of FAR Krugerrand 410H, the 2002 National Western Cham- pion Bull bred by Frey Angus Ranch. Many of his daughters and granddaughters will have produced sons by some of the most prominent herd sires of the breed: KR QUALITY 8525, FREYS QUALITY 0187, EVENSON SOUTHERN CHARM 086, FREYS HOME TOWN BELIEVER, QLC MR ED, TA RESILIENT 1012, FAR KING AIR 1082, CONNEALY CRAFTSMAN, CONNEALY COMMERCE and others. T he P rogram ... At Frey Angus Ranch, the program is a simple one. It is a program where performance testing breeds performance and where the cowherd makes a difference. Each cow has to make a difference and that difference is measured in the average results in the bulls selling. The average birth weights are at or near breed average of 79#, average weaning weights of 850#, and average yearling weights of 1432#. These are fertile, mature, and active bulls with balanced EPDs and exceptional individual performance that also includes carcass information determined by ultrasound. These bulls will be delivered to your ranch after April 1st at no charge with an unconditional guarantee for injury through the first breeding season. Most importantly, these bulls will work because they are bred and developed to do so. They are the kind that make a difference. H ow D oes F rey A ngus R anch C ompare ?

The saying is “a blind squirrel finds an acorn occasionally” and we certainly found a herd sire in this Connealy bred bull out of a Quirk bred female bred and raised by the David Walker family and named after the Late Ed Richardson who held a special place with QLC, FAR and many others in the breed. A total of 13 sons are in the offering and all resemble him in their thickness, balance, eye appeal, correctness and many being calving ease prospects.

1082 was a stand-out in our 2022 sale where auctioneer, Joe Goggins acclaimed him as one of the more attractive bulls to be sold that sale season. His purchase by Larry Rice’s Flag Ranch only added to that description. We were equally impressed with the bulls looks as well as his potential as a calving ease sire, thus the extensive in-herd use and an offering of 8 sons that not only have his look but are calving ease prospects as well.
