THE NEXT STEP IN OUR RANCH VISION
| The Mushrush Family |
Over the past several years, we’ve been open about the big changes happening here on the ranch. From converting cropland to cool-season perennial forage, to implementing virtual fencing, and even pursuing an aggressive embryo transfer program—every decision has been made with one goal in mind: to increase our ability to offer a larger selection of age advantaged bulls to our customers in both our Spring and Fall sales. This sale represents one of the final steps in that long-term plan. The path to this sale began years ago. Historically, our herd has run about 55% Spring calving and 45% Fall. With a larger than-normal embryo project, we set out to grow the number of Fall-calving cows. Today, those efforts have produced a strong group of young Fall heifers coming
into the herd. To make room for them, some of our Spring cows must go. As a result, every Spring-bred cow over age five and carrying a heifer calf is included in this offering. This wasn’t an easy decision—truthfully, we were hoping H049, the dam of Select Sires’ newest Red Angus bull, would be carrying another son. Instead, she and her heifer calf sell. We’ve also used some of our very best sires in these matings: Ultra Kool 86H, for example, has consistently produced standout females, and several of his future daughters are represented here. Our old donor A083 is also in the sale pen—a rare chance to tie into proven foundation genetics, as she is a paternal half-sister to the legendary Julian B571. Also for sale is a group of 18-month- old, forage developed bulls. These bulls
have had the opportunity to spend the summer on Flint Hills range where they have developed into fit hard bulls. We are committed to not only offer cutting edge genetics, but to deliver them in a bull that will last your operation for many years to come. With cattle prices at record levels, getting a return on your investment is as important as ever, and we are committed to making bulls that will last. This sale reflects more than the next step in our ranch vision. It’s a carefully considered offering that gives buyers access to the kind of genetics we’ve built our program on. For anyone looking to add proven maternal strength, elite sires, and long-term value, this is a unique opportunity—coming at a great time to be in the cattle business.
