SALE TERMS
HEALTH All cattle are on a complete vaccination program supervised by Ashley Vet Clinic in North Dakota. In the past bulls have been tested for persistent BVD carriers and all tests were negative for a number of years. We have chosen not to test the bulls this year since no positives have been found in over 10 years. We have tested our replacement heifers for BVD since 2014 as part of our surveillance program and found no positive BVD carriers. Bieber Red Angus participates in the Beef Quality Assurance (BQA) program. Heifer calves have been Bangs vaccinated. We participated in a Johnes testing program for 10 years with no confirmed positives. We no longer test for Johnes disease but continue to diligently watch for any suspicious cases and test as necessary. Dr. Ace Clark of Swainsboro Animal Hospital will be onsite sale day to write health papers for any animals being transported out of state. BREEDING SOUNDNESS EVALUATION Breeding soundness screenings will be performed in September by the Ashley Vet Clinic and an individual semen evaluation can be provided on each bull upon request. We fully guarantee that these bulls will pass the breeding soundness evaluation before the breeding season if the bulls are managed properly. Being maintained properly means being on a plan of nutrition where bulls maintain or gain weight.The bulls will be weighed prior to the sale when the breeding soundness evaluation is performed. We recommend that all bulls be tested again 4 to 6 weeks prior to your breeding season. Our breeding soundness guarantee will require that the bull weigh the same or more than when we did the breeding soundness evaluation in September 2025.We ask for your understanding if a bull does not pass. Sometimes bulls that have passed do not pass later for various reasons. We will do our best to make sure you are satisfied. Keep in mind that the development of any bull is inhibited by inadequate nutrition or where weight loss is evident. If you have any questions regarding the breeding soundness evaluation, feel free to call Craig. RETAINED INTEREST We are selling 100% interest, full possession, and full salvage value. Bieber Red Angus Ranch’s interest will be in herd use only, but Bieber Red Angus Ranch retains all rights to use the bull within their herd. BIRTHWEIGHTS/CALVING EASE We score for calving ease with our three star (*) scoring system. Three stars (***) indicates that a particular bull can be used on heifers under standard conditions with little or no calving difficulty. Two stars (**) indicates that a particular bull should be used on growthy heifers or cows under standard conditions with little or no difficulty. One star (*) indicates that a particular bull should be used on cows under standard conditions with little or no difficulty. This recommendation is a system we use to help our customers with calving ease selections. Birth weights are highly affected by environmental factors. Research has indicated that the inclusion of corn in cow diets will increase BW. Also contributing to higher BW were cold temperatures. The University of Nebraska conducted a three-year study to research and evaluate effects of high and low temperatures during winter months on calves out of 384 two-year-old heifers. Average BW increased by 11 lbs. when temperatures were colder. The results agree with other studies comparing calves born in the southern US to calves born in the northern US. Weather plays an important role in BW and calving difficulty. We have adjusted the calving ease scores accordingly, taking into consideration what the calf ratioed on BW, pedigree, CE EPD, BW EPD and Genomic data.
COLOR All animals are red unless otherwise indicated in the footnotes. WEIGHTS
Birth weights, weaning weights, yearling weights, and all other measurements are taken at appropriate times to produce sound and accurate comparisons within contemporary groups.We group our Red Angus calves based on the age of our cows. Calves out of two-year-old dams, three-year-old dams, and the main cowherd are all separate management groups and therefore are separate contemporary groups. Embryo transplant calves are contemporaried in the groups they are weaned with. WEANING WEIGHTS These calves were raised without creep. We feel that this helps us select and breed for dams that have milking ability and sound udders. ET calves are on creep feed to express their full genetic potential. INTERNET AND ABSENTEE BIDDING We would prefer for you to be in attendance on sale day. Realistically, we know that there will be scheduling conflicts and distance limitations.

With this guarantee, we provide our customers the opportunity to purchase their choice of cattle with very little risk. DNA samples have been collected on every animal in the sale with any known carrier in the first three generations and tested negative unless otherwise noted. GAIN TESTING These bulls were weaned in October of 2024 and yearling weights were taken in May of 2025. UPDATED SUPPLEMENT INFORMATION Supplement sheets will be available on sale day and will include actual scrotal measurements and actual weights. Adjusted scrotal size is printed in the catalog.
