Dear Fellow Cattlemen,
It’s hard to believe that this is already our third sale! We can’t thank you enough and are still incredibly humbled by the support we have received in our past sales. We truly appreciate the new friendships made and the trust from our loyal customers that has formed over the past 20 years. Being your seedstock provider is not something we take lightly. Black Angus influenced cattle have been setting new record highs all spring. We believe that we have several more good years in front of us! We have some exciting new proven outcross genetics to offer this year. As seedstock producers, it is our job to sift through all the info to make not only your life easier, but your herd more profitable. Functional, Maternal, Performance define what our goals are. The focus on fertility, longevity, and foot quality has never been more important in the angus breed. We do not feel that you can build an elite set of females by focusing on one certain trait or chasing the biggest growth numbers on paper. Those numbers don’t mean a thing without a pregnancy and a live calf! In this catalog we have tried to keep it simple by giving you the EPD’s that we feel are the most useful to the commercial cattleman. In the footnotes under each bull we want you to know a little about the dam. We want you to be confident that you are investing in genetics that will add pounds AND build females that have fertility. The bulls in this catalog are out of our proven cows and cow families. Cows that aren’t pampered, breed back and wean heavy calves every year. We want the best for our customers, because if you don’t succeed, neither do we! If you would like more information than what we have provided, we would be happy to assist you in getting it. Our cowherd is managed the same as most commercial cowherds and grown strictly on dryland pasture, salt and mineral. We feel that this is the most honest approach to assure that they can perform adequately in our northern climate. Our cows need to handle real ranch conditions and raise an above average calf or we don’t keep them. The bulls are fed right here on the ranch. They have been fed a high roughage ration that is built to keep their gut functioning properly, ensuring soundness and longev- ity. Our ultimate goal is to raise functional, easy fleshing cattle that are structurally correct, fertile, and last a long time for our customers! We would be honored to have you in attendance at our third annual sale. Even if you don’t need a bull, please bring your family and come have lunch! If you can’t make it in person, videos and internet bidding will be provided by DVAuction. If you have any questions or would like to look at the bulls prior to the sale please feel free to stop by anytime. Visitors are always welcome!
Thanks again for taking the time to consider our program.
