Cattle & Sale Information SCROTAL MEASUREMENTS The actual measurements plus one adjusted for a year of age are both printed in the catalog. The 3C bulls’ scrotals were taken on 1/19/2026, NLC bulls were done 1/17/2026. Scrotals are measured in centimeters. WEIGHTS Birth weights are printed as the actual birth weight. The weaning and yearling weights and ratios for weaning and yearling were all processed by the American Simmental Association including those sired by Angus. COLOR All bulls in the offering are tested for Homozygous black and polled & parentage tested & confirmed as well. Homozygous black cattle do not have any red genes and will not sire red calves. Since white can be dominant over black they can still have white on them. If both parents are black the animal might be homozygous black but if not confirmed by DNA test they will be listed as double black. If a bull has been DNA tested red carrier or is from one red parent he will be listed heterozygous black. If used on red cows that are non-diluted about half the offspring will be black, if used on a black cows, most of the offspring will be black out of a heterozygous black bull.
• LARGE SIRE GROUPS = this allows you to evaluate what a sire passes on & which of our genetics fit your program best. It also allows you to purchase as many 1/2 and 3/4 brothers to run together to create a more uniform group of feeder calves or replacement heifers. • Our bulls are BRED to grow in harsh conditions with little input... not fed to look good on sale day = We do not creep feed our calves so we can test not only the calf’s true performance but the cow’s ability to raise a calf on her own. Did you know that creep feeding your heifer calves decreases their overall milk production by 25%? (it decreases mammary development) • YEARS OF EXPERIENCE = This is our 55th year offering bulls for sale at public auction.
