Young Commercial Cows
These beautiful, functional, and efficient bred females are high percentage and 100% Red Angus from Beckton’s own herd. They are sired by Beckton Registered Red Angus sires and pasture bred to Beckton’s own registered Red Angus sire battery. They have been pregnancy checked by our veterinarian and sorted by estimated calving, although please recognize that our vet is not perfect and gestation lengths vary. Because we send our bulls with the cows up the mountain during late summer, some calving will extend into May. The cows have had their calves weaned off starting in early October. They have received lepto and ivermectin this fall, and receive annual ScourGuard boosters. They are grouped by age and pregnancy into lots of 10 head each for individual load flexibility. Within each age/pregnancy group the sorting between lots is random, except that we will try to fairly adjust by age so that the age distribution is comparable between similar lots. Finally, it may seem unusual to see 8 and 9 year old cows being offered, but these cows still have years to go. We have cows producing over 12 years of age, even under our Wyoming short dry grass and high mountain conditions. To see our older cows, take a look at the photos and videos of our registered cow offering in this catalog. Note that we pay half the delivery on loads of 30 or more. Our cows are moderately sized, so a standard semi/pot can comfortably carry up to 40 or 50 of our young cows and heifers, or 40 of our cows 5 years and up.
