BRED COMMERCIAL HEIFERS
25 A sale feature is these home-raised bred commercial heifers born in Spring 2024 and due to calve in Spring 2026. They will be confirmed pregnant by our veterinarian shortly before the sale. These heifers are very consistent. They are sired by our elite natural service sires. More details of this information will be available on our website as a sale update close to the sale date, and available at the sale. The sires of these heifers are superior bulls excelling in all of the economically important traits. These heifers are bred to sons of Sunbeam. The dams of these heifers are straight from our elite commercial herd. These cows have many generations of high accuracy AI sires and elite natural service sires in their pedigrees. Every one of these cows has been DNA tested (see Method Genetics information below) and is a superior commercial cow. Individual Breeding information will be updated on our website after pregnancy checking closer to sale day and will be available as a Sale Supplement. We will have a video of these heifers posted to our online catalog at the same time that the videos of the registered cattle are posted, roughly two weeks before the sale. These heifers will sell in small groups of approximately 2-3 head in each group. These heifers represent a great opportunity for anyone to start or add to their herd with some of the best genetics available in the industry. These heifers have been Method Genetics Choice tested. Method Genetics (MG) indexes are unique. The MG database is derived from phenotypic, pedigree and genomic information supplied solely by MG customers. The MG genetic breeding values and indexes serve as a benchmark for commercial customers. The MG evaluation benchmarks our cattle, the cattle of our customers, and the cattle of many other commercial producers that participate in the MG program against one another. This is an elite population of Angus cattle selected for reproductive efficiency, calving ease, docility, post-weaning growth, feedlot performance and carcass value. If you are a commercial cow-calf producer seeking to add value-added replacements to your operation, these heifers will do it. Review the data below to see how these heifers benchmark against this elite population. These sale heifers rank above the average of this elite population in every category, and in most categories they rank well above. In other words, these are the elite of the elite. Individual Breeding information and individual MG scores on each heifer will be updated on our website after pregnancy checking closer to sale day and will be available as a Sale Supplement.
