Greetings Cattlemen & Cattlewomen: With a lot of excitement and intensity, we are starting Rippe Angus. This is just our second set of Angus bulls we are offering, but it is far from our first rodeo. We understand how to raise high quality seedstock and what the commercial industry is after. We knew if we ever added a new breed, that we would go procure a few of the very top cows in the breed and build a herd around them via Embryo Transfer. We stuck to the plan and have visited over 50 Angus operations in the past 3 years. We spent countless hours on the phone learning. Currently, we have purchased 6 donors that stem from the following herds: Tehama Angus - California, Vermilion Angus – Montana, Boyd Beef Cattle – Kentucky, Sitz Angus – Montana, 7 Oaks Angus – Iowa. Jake Tiedeman with Baldridge- Tiedeman Angus has partnered with us on some of the cows and has been very instrumental in assisting us with finding the right programs and genetics. What sets Rippe Angus apart from other seedstock operations is how tied our family is to the cattle business. My dad, Duane, manages the cow calf and farming operation. I, Dustin own and operate Roode Feedyard in Fairbury, NE. We buy a lot of customers calves each year and feed out all our own cattle each year. This allows us to collect carcass data back on the cattle along with knowing where our genetics need tweaked. I want to emphasize this is not a side business for us, we both make our living in the cattle industry and are passionate about its future. Joel Cast is very instrumental in this operation. We couldn’t manage this herd or collect all the data we do without him. Many operations preach maternal. How can they preach maternal without taking cow weights and looking at cow efficiency. Joels takes pride in taking udder scores on every cow that calves. We are part of Maternal Plus and hope it leads to more accurate data on longevity and fertility in the future. We are very aggressive when it comes to ET and AI, while also still believing a good herd bull can leave you with an outcross set of females. Every animal we have gets genomic enhanced EPD’s along with parent verification. We ultrasound our bulls and females and collect large amounts of carcass data. It is our hope that the information we track and present to you is valuable. We won’t buy a bull without the information we provide. We will be posting additional information on a supplement sheet prior to the sale on our website and Facebook. Please call ahead of the sale and we can go over your program and your program’s needs.
