RED ANGUS BULLS
About the Bulls
Development Philosophy These yearling bulls are developed with durability, longevity, and athleticism in mind – built to cover more cows and hold up year after year, no matter the conditions. Rather than chasing extreme weights, we grow our bulls at a sensible rate to allow them to mature naturally and stay sound for the long haul. Feed Test & Performance The bulls were weighed on October 31st and again on February 5th to complete a 97-day feed test, during which the group averaged an impressive 3.3 lbs per day gain. Following the test, they were transitioned to a balanced ration to get them hardened up and ready to go to work for you. Selection & Disposition From birth to sale day, every bull is evaluated for disposition, structural and breeding soundness, performance, and overall health. Any bull that does not meet our standards is culled. This year, nearly 50% of our bull calf crop was cut to ensure we offer only the most uniform and highest-quality set of bulls we’ve ever assembled. Great disposition is a must, especially with our kids involved in many day-to-day chores. Built for Real-World Performance These bulls are not pushed; they are developed to work. While cattle can perform on many types of feed, what matters most is having bulls that stay sound, hold condition, and last. That’s where we take pride – raising bulls that get the job done year after year. Foot Structure & Longevity Foot quality is a major focus in our program. The depth of quality in this offering runs deep, with dark-colored feet and adequate heel depth designed to stand the test of time. Health Program All yearling bulls are on a complete vaccination and health program. Bulls received Bovi-Shield Gold FP5 L5, Cov- exin 8, and were poured with ivermectin at branding on May 18th, preconditioning on August 15th, and at wean- ing on September 5th. A wart vaccine was administered on December 25th with a booster on January 11th. Nutrition & Management Bulls are developed on a high-forage diet consisting of corn silage, earlage, dry corn, and the Hubbard Express Grower 40:22 MON 400 protein pellet, with free-choice dry hay. Ample space is provided to allow for exercise and maintain athleticism. The Offering This offering is exceptionally consistent from top to bottom and represents the best group of bulls we have raised to date. These bulls reflect the kind of cattle we believe in – sound, functional, consistent, and built to work for the long haul. We encourage you to come view them in person anytime!
