OLAND Red Angus
Welcome
Welcome! Welcome to our fourth annual bull sale. We are offering 35 yearling bulls for sale this year. After going through a couple challenging years, 2025 is shaping up to be a great year in the cattle business. The mild winter and spring have been a blessing for many operations, and both the calf and cull cow market are at all-time highs. With that being said, cows that hold up and last longer in your herd are going to put more profit in your pocket over time. Out of the 35 bulls being offered, only one of their dams was open last fall, and she was a six-year-old cow. We don’t sell bulls out of young open cows because those cows are NOT profitable! The bulls are developed slowly on a low mega-Cal TMR that never exceeds a 50 mega-Cal. We start them out on a 44 mega-Cal at weaning and gradually increase to a 50. We begin backing them down around the first of March depending upon the weather and temperature, and they will be down to a 44 by delivery. We don’t push the bulls hard because we don’t want them to fall apart during the breeding season. They’re developed to last for many years. The average daily gain data you see is not from a “test” period. It is from the time we record weaning weights, at weaning time, until we record yearling weights at the end of February. We place a lot of emphasis on the mother cow, and that’s why we display their age, MPPA, udder and teat score with their son’s data. Our cows are pastured in the sand hills of southeastern North Dakota on the edge of the Sheyenne National Grasslands. They are not pampered and must work for a living. We do not under-stock our pastures in an attempt to boost our weaning weights and keep all the cows in good shape. We run our purebred cows at the same stocking rate as our commercial herd so that the data you’re seeing is legitimate. This also helps us recognize differences in the fleshing ability of our cows in order to cull those that can’t maintain adequate body condition while raising their calf. We cull hard here, especially for feet. We wouldn’t want to buy a bull out of a cow with bad feet or udders and believe that nobody else would either. That’s why we never offer progeny for sale out of cows with those traits and avoid breeding to sires known to produce offspring with poor foot quality. It doesn’t matter how good their EPD’s are. If they have bad feet, they’re culled. Customer satisfaction is our number one goal. We want to know how the bulls are working for you. Give us a call or stop by anytime, and we can discuss which bulls would work best in your operation. Our cowherd is open for viewing year-round, and we’d like to show you the dams behind the bulls. As always, we stand behind our cattle 100%. Thank you for your interest in our program.
