Cattlemen, Welcome to the fifth annual Meinders Stock Farms Spring Sale! We are excited about our offering of Angus, SimAngus and Charolais bulls and open yearling heifers! We aim to be a one-stop- shop for your bull and female needs, by offering multiple breeds that can meet any herd’s needs. We are very focused on building cattle who have balanced EPDs with an emphasis on moderate cow size, feed efficiency, and marbling. For the last thirteen years, we have been marketing Stabilizer bulls through Leachman Cattle. We are still sending our Stabilizer bulls to Wyoming, but we now market our registered cattle here in Iowa! With Leachman, we were introduced to their $Profit, $Ranch, and $Feeder indexes which have helped us improve our herd at a rapid pace. $Profit is the best overall index in the industry and all of our sale cattle will sell with this index, most in the top 5% of the industry! We encourage you to read more about $Profit, $Ranch, and $Feeder later in the catalog and we believe that those indexes will help you make the best decision for your herd’s needs. All cattle in the sale have been feed efficiency tested, which is unique data that most seedstock producers do not offer. Feed consumption is the #1 driver of cost in the cow herd and must be taken into consideration, especially with today’s feed prices. We try to collect as much data as possible to offer the highest accuracy EPD’s and Indexes so you can buy with confidence. Every animal in the sale will also sell with genomically enhanced EPDs. We are also excited to offer a calf buy-back program on all calves sired by bulls bought in our sale! We have great confidence in our genetics and will gladly pay premiums for those calves. Those premiums will be paid based on the $Feeder indexes of the sires, so the better bulls you buy, the higher the premium we will pay! Contact us for more information on that opportunity! These are exciting times in the cattle industry! Take advantage and invest in the best genetics you can afford! We hope to see you on sale day! Zach Meinders
