Welcome
Welcome Letter Welcome to our new sale facility at the ranch headquarters Northeast of Milan on Hwy Y for our FIRST FALL SALE here at the new sale barn that we inaugurated with our record setting March sale! With the rich heritage and history of Sherry’s father and his involvement in the Kansas City Stock- yards, moving from a Livestock Market Auction facility to the farm was not a decision made lightly or without years of discussion and deliberation. The entire Brinkley family appreciates the support of our program that our friends, neighbors and customers have extended to us over the past two de- cades and we look forward to supplying the genetic needs of our customers for generations to come! Our record setting March sale saw the VERY FIRST time that Brinkley Angus past bull customers used calf carcass credits earned by sons of Brinkley Angus bulls towards their selection of a new generation of bulls. That opportunity continues with this smaller but very elite sale offering. The outstanding USDA Quality Grades of progeny of Brinkley bulls that were sold to the Ruth Family Farms Premium Black Angus Beef Ranch to Table program continue to earn future credits for value Brinkley customers who buy Brinkley Angus bulls and commercial females sired by and bred to Brinkley Angus bulls! Our integrated production system designed and operated with the Ruth Family to produce high-quality end product from the bulls that you buy from us is no longer a dream – it is now a REALI- TY as Brinkley Angus Ranch and Ruth Family Farm have provided calf credit towards the purchase of future Brinkley Angus genetics of $25 per calf credit for EVERY calf sired by a Brinkley bull sold as a USDA Graded Certified Angus Beef carcass and $50 per calf credit for EVERY calf sold as a USDA Prime carcass. While Sherry has retired from her career at the Courthouse, she is far from retired as our grand- children and the operation of our enterprises continue to keep her busy night and day. With Jim’s six years as a member of the American Angus Association Board of Directors and the time spent as the Treasurer and Vice President of the American Angus Association on his way to becoming the Chairman of the Board and President for 2026, Sherry’s contributions to Brinkley Angus Ranch have never been greater. Embryo transfer has been an important tool that we have used for many years to accelerate the genetic progress of the bulls that we have to make available to our customers and friends. As we have ramped up the number of calves that we are producing with embryo transfer, going forward it will be our plan to sell our fall-born bull calves as age-advantaged bulls in our annual spring sale and our spring-born bull calves as age-advantaged bulls in our annual fall sale. As more of us who graze fescue have shifted to fall calving to improve our production systems and with the year-round demand for feedlots and packing plants, we think this new fall sale will be another way to better serve those who rely upon us for their genetic inputs. In the 2025 Foundation Female sale at the National Western, the $30,000 top selling bred heifer of our 2022 sale stepped forward for K-Ler Cattle Company with a $17,000 full sister to our $19,000 top selling spring yearling in March and a $12,000 maternal sister to her that were among the most popular and top selling open heifers. We could not be happier for Seth and his family’s success with their Brinkley female! This prolific embryo donor for both the Brinkley and Kaehler families is the donor dam of 17 of the bulls in this sale offering by the VERY SAME sires whose sons were the most popular and top selling bulls of our 2025 spring sale. In addition to the five flush brothers to the $17,000 and $19,000 heifers sold this spring, there are also five paternal brothers to the $32,000 two thirds interest top seller Brinkley Skillset 3866 who joined his donor dam in the SydGen program when a $30,000 flush sister to him was chosen by Dustin Ruth of Bloomfield, Iowa. EXAR Cover the Bases has taken his place as one of the most reliable high accuracy sources of superior marbling score genetics in the industry and the first nine bulls in this offering by him have the genetics to sire calves that will grade high and still produce outstanding replacement daughters with the marbling genetics for their progeny to earn USDA Quality Grade premiums! With all but a couple of these bulls eligible to breed heifers for the Missouri Show Me Select bred heifer sales, we are striving to produce Brinkley Angus bulls that you can breed to your heifers with confidence in their youth AND STILL have the growth and carcass power to use on the cows after those bulls have outgrown breeding heifers. As always, your purchase of bulls and females from Brinkley Angus Ranch is not the conclusion of a transaction but the beginning of an ongoing relationship. We are available to help maximize your return on investment through assistance with the sale of your calves for a premium and assistance with breeding your heifers to position you for the great times on the horizon, as the smallest nation- al beef cow herd of modern times experiences truly unprecedented demand for limited supply.
