Fall Born Bulls
We strive to produce a highly consistent product and aim to provide quality bulls for the marketplace. One of the best compliments we have ever received came from two respected cattlemen on separate tours through the bulls: “I will just take a gate cut out of all these bulls!” We cut half of our bull calf crop on a yearly basis. Bottom line, we have done the sorting already, there is quality from top to bottom in this offering.
We put intense pressure on the bulls that are included in our annual sale. 50% of our bull calf crop on a yearly basis ends up in the feedlot being fed out as steers so that we can see first- hand how our genetics are performing all the way to the rail. This spring 135 head of those steers that didn’t make the bull sale graded out at 69.5% CAB, and 18.5% Prime, with 100% grading Choice or better. Of note, those steers sold as verified NHTC, and that NHTC verification amounted to a $268/head premium. A premium that paid out on 100% of the cattle, regardless of grade. Most Angus cattle marble well, there is no need to select for extreme carcass merit at the expense of fertility, foot quality, and function that comes with single trait selection for extreme high marbling.
