Welcome and thank you for your interest in our program and our 43rd production sale! This sale is the culmination of another year’s worth of work and preparation, and we are excited to share the fruits of those labors with you. Before we lay out the offering in this year’s catalog we wanted to bring back an advertisement from the past that we had answering the question of: What sets us apart? FELLOW CATTLEMEN –
A strict adherence to our breeding philosophy based on functionality. For our commercial bull customers to be successful, they need cattle that have structural soundness, good feet, body and mass, and fertility. Mating decisions are made with a focus on our replacement females, as we live longer with those females than their bull mates. Our priority is to produce females that breed up in a 45 day breeding program, and that possess ideal udder quality and teat size. The bulls utilized in our breeding program have either been raised in our own herd or are bulls that we own. We don’t use the “bull of the month,” but rather find the bulls that check all of the boxes in our breeding philosophy and include them in our herd battery. The results of this long term breeding program have been cattle with consistent phenotypes, and the longevity to remain in the herd and keep our operation sustainable. We thought that statement was worth sharing again, and we hope that as you study this offering that you find that the cattle fit that statement of philosophy. We couldn’t be more proud of the set of bulls that we have on offer this year, and although we know it may be cliché to say, we truly feel like it is the deepest set of bulls from front to back that we have ever offered. There will be several new sire groups in the offering this year with sons of SAV Thrust, E&B Flinthills, and some of the first sons of Coleman Platinum to be offered anywhere in the country. Brad Arrowsmith will again be bringing a good set of coming 2 year old Red and Black Angus bulls, representing genetics and a breeding philosophy similar to our own. Make sure to check those bulls out, cataloged after our bulls and before the female offering. The dispersal of the spring bred females will be highlighted by females carrying the service of our up and coming herd sires Coleman Platinum, Voss Liberty, as well as the rare service of 2S Sharpie, who’s semen averaged over $700/straw in recent auctions. Please reach out to us with any questions you may have about the offering, and let us know what your goals are so that we may help you find the bulls or females that will help you reach them. As always, feel free to stop by the ranch and inspect the offering any time before the sale. The sale will start with the females at 11:30am, and will follow directly after with the bulls at approximately 1:00pm. Lunch will be served starting at noon. Thank you to Jake and Emilee Hoffschneider for the donation of Creekstone Farms beef tenderloin for the sale lunch! Hope to see you sale day!
