Welcome!
We are excited to invite you to join us for the 46th Anniversary Bull Sale at J-C Angus Ranch, east of Moriarty!! We plan to sell over 65 bulls and 9 heifers on Saturday, March 21st. We feel like we are making progress and this is the best set of bulls and females we have ever offered, but we mainly just enjoy getting to see all of our old friends and making new ones!! With record highs at the sale barns, optimism is coming back to the industry. You can’t go to a steak house in Albuquerque and not stand in line. We feel confident that beef is always going to be in high demand, which is why we continue to work to produce cattle that will work well on any ranch with genetics focusing on fertility, feed efficiency, calving-ease, growth, and carcass quality. As technology becomes an even bigger part of our daily lives, we are excited to see science becoming a bigger part of the beef industry, as well. Feed costs are arguably the biggest cost in getting an animal to market. With the Grow Safe System in Tucumcari, we no longer have to “guess” or “make assumptions” about what an animal’s feed efficiency is. We can now test to see if our assumptions were correct. They weren’t. There are big differences between individual animals. If a cow is small, that doesn’t automatically mean she is efficient! She may be, but you cannot improve what you do not measure. We feel strongly that testing and selecting for this trait will make improvements in any herd, not just for the animals going to the feedlot, but in the cow herd as well. This improvement in genetics is not only beneficial for the stockman, but it benefits every part of the industry, which helps all of us in the long run.
As you look at the animal chart (opposite), you can see the big differences between individual animals and their performance, as well as the impact that could have on the industry. With record high prices in the market, not having this tested information costs the rancher money. We want to change that. All of our natural sires have proven feed efficiency through testing. As you look through the data we provide, you’ll see that we have taken advantage of the technology available, from DNA testing, ultrasound, and feed efficiency testing to bring bulls and heifers that will add profits to your bottom line. We look forward to seeing you at the ranch on Saturday, March 21st!! Come view the bulls and heifers in the morning and join us for lunch at 11:30am. Sale starts at 1pm. In Christ,
John, Cathy, & Caleb Heckendorn Joe, Rebecca, Abi, & Samuel Isbell Joshua, Morgan, Adelynn, & Ivy Heckendorn Joshua, Sarah, & Declan Yu
