Pen xx xxxx Two-Year-Old Bulls
Thanks for joining us at Isa Beefmasters’ 64 th Performance Test and Bull Sale! I look at a lot of sale catalogs from all breeds, and I’m very proud to say ours is one of the most complete, concise, and easy to use in the bull business. The off-test weight and scrotal circumference measurements were taken September 9 th , so they are current, as is the gain (ADG)
and weight-per-day of-age (WDA) data. The bulls are listed in the order they will sell, and they will be penned in that same order. The pen number is listed at the top of the page. We take great pains to present the data and the bulls in this format so that our customers can easily identify, research, and buy the category of bulls needed.
We are pleased to share with you our breakthrough index we call $Isa. $Isa quantifies a bull’s individual performance and his genetic potential. We think you’ll find that, as you evaluate the bulls using your usual system, $Isa will align nicely with your analysis. You can read more about $Isa on p. 4. For the first time ever, we are offering two bulls from our IsaX experiment, which are Beefmaster x Red Angus hybrids. They are registered as Beefmaster Advancers, bear a certificate that carries the full pedigree of both parents, have complete EPDs and are DNA verified. They are half-brothers out of the RA Brown herd sire Oracle and can be found in Pen 7. We think they are pretty nifty bulls! We have invested a lot in artificial insemination and embryo transfer in recent years, and that effort really paid off with 26 sons of great herd sires like L Bar Automatic, L Bar 4519, L Bar Tejas, L Bar Resource and Brown Oracle. The bulls really turned the crank this year, with 30 of them gaining over 3 pounds per day through the 50-day gain test—and another 30 gained over 4 pounds! As always, you’ll find a wealth of breed-leading EPDs. The bulls are backed by a complete health program, have been Trich and fertility-tested and are fully guaranteed. Volume purchases will be delivered for free. They also have been DNA’d for parentage and Genomic Enhanced EPDs, and that information will be in the final catalog. Our family is honored to provide bulls to many of the finest people in the cattle industry. We thank you for coming and look forward to a visit. Warmly, The Lasaters
