Welcome Welcome to our 2026 annual bull sale!
On behalf of our operation, we would like to extend this catalog of information that contains our offering of Red Angus genet- ics to you. We hope that you find the information provided useful in sorting through the bulls we are offering this year. If there is additional information that you need that is not provided, please let us know, and we will get you the material needed to help you make the best decision possible. We began our venture into Red Angus in 1985 and have been developing our genetics to flourish in our eastern Montana environment through the genetic selection of a specific type of cattle that will thrive in our conditions. We allow the pressure of the environment to aid in our genetic selection. Cattle that can’t breed in a short breeding season or raise an acceptable calf, all while not having any issues (feet, udder, disposition, fleshing ability), and bulls that can’t handle covering large numbers of synchronized cows or heifers work themselves out of a place to stay. We also spend time on the road viewing other operations that are like minded and place an emphasis on the economics of the cow/calf producer as a high priority. The time we spend seeing other genetics thriving in other operations and also producing all the traits we feel are necessary for profitability is what we consider to be a very valuable investment back into our operation. Many will notice that we use some sires for many years. When we find sires that fit well, we will try to pull as much as that sire has to offer into our base herd to improve our genetics. This also breeds consistency into our herd with many half-sisters producing offspring that are uniform in type and kind. On the other hand, we are always bringing in new genetics that we have found to offer something different genetically while still aligning with our genetic model for profitability. The year of 2025 has been a year of extremes in many aspects. The ranch was close to a drought most of the growing season but experienced above average moisture in late July and early August. These late rains provided a green up in our pastures that allowed our genetics to express their growth characteristics for the first time in many years. Our weaning weights are 50 + pounds better than they have been, which has carried over to the yearling weights in our offering being higher as well. The extremes were also experienced in the cattle market with the highest market prices seen ever!!! It is nice to see a beef market that allows the cow/calf producer to be profitable, but when we consider the costs of everything that we purchase to operate a ranch, the beef price hasn’t kept up with the expense side of our business equation. The bulls in this offering will sell in catalog order. This order is arranged to begin with a pen of high-performance cow bulls fol- lowed by a pen of high-performance heifer bulls. The remaining of the sale is pens of bulls by sire group that allows for good bulls suitable for heifers and/or cows to be distributed throughout the sale. Later measurements such as scrotal circumference and hip height will be available on our website and DV Auction as they are taken. As in the past, some of the bulls in the offering might be removed from the sale due to not passing a BSE (breeding soundness examination) prior to the sale. These bulls will be retested and offered private treaty once they pass their BSE.
May the Lord Bless you,
Bruce, Tena, and Jaclyn Ketchum Jeff, Cele, Blaze, and Ember Menees
As servants of the Lord, we are striving to be stewards of the land and cattle that He created and allowed us to manage so that we may glorify Him.

Bulls that do not pass the semen evaluation will be available for sale after they have a satisfactory evaluation. BULL DEVELOPMENT The bulls are fed on a ration to develop them into sound functional use- able bulls that will work in every environment. The ration consists of rolled corn (6.25 lbs. average), corn silage 17 lbs., dry distiller’s (3.5 lbs.), and the balance of chopped hay that consists of ground grass, alfalfa, and barley hay, along with a vitamin & mineral supplement.

SEMEN INTEREST Milk Creek Reds is retaining one-half revenue-sharing semen interest in all bulls in the sale.

Our ET program has produced another sire that we are using to perpetuate good genetics out of proven cows. As a yearling, 2412 was ran in a large group of heifer calf pairs with Money Talks. Out of 107 pairs, we had five opens in the group but the DNA only provided us with two progeny out of this good young bull. Money Talks didn’t let the competition work his pasture at all. We have continued to use 2412 in a multi-sire pasture with Money Talks and in this calf crop he was able to bring in 4 progeny. MLK CRK REDSTONE 2412

We found Julian 22a at Flying K in Saskatchewan. He was in a pen just gathered out of cows and looked to be 4 or 5 years old but when we asked Brian how old he was it turned out he was eight. He had great feet and was very fluid in his movement and the daughters we saw were impressive. Sandbur Ridge, Heart River Red Angus and Milk Creek talked Brian and Christine into allowing us to get semen on the bull. These are the first of many offspring that we will offer.

ProS – Profitability and Sustainability is an all-purpose index that predicts average economic differences in all segments in the beef supply chain. This index is a combination of the breeding objectives modeled in the HerdBuilder and GridMaster selection indexes. In this index, replacement heifers are retained from within the herd and all remaining progeny are fed out to slaughter and sold on a quality-based grid. Traits included in this index include CED, ADG, HPG, STAY, MW, DMI, CW, MARB, REA and Fat. Index | Dollars per Head | Higher Value HB – HerdBuilder is a maternal selection index that predicts the economic differences of animals for traits that are important from conception through weaning. HB is cal- culated based on the scenario that bulls are mated to heifers and cows, replacement heifers are retained and all remaining progeny are marketed at weaning. This index is a combination of CED, CEM, WW, Milk, MW, HPG and STAY. Index | Dollars per Head | Higher Value GM – GridMaster is a selection index that predicts the average economic difference of non-replacement calves through the post-weaning phase of production. GM places selection pressure on growth, feed yard performance and carcass traits. GM is cal- culated based on the scenario that progeny are fed out to slaughter and marketed on a quality-based carcass grid. This index is a combination of ADG, CW, DMI, MARB, Fat and REA. Index | Dollars per Head | Higher Value CED – Calving Ease Direct predicts differences in the percent of calves born unassisted out of 2-year-old dams. Percent | Higher Value BW – Birth Weight predicts differences in actual birth weight of progeny. Pounds | Lower Value WW – Weaning Weight predicts differences in 205-day weaning weight. Pounds | Higher Value RED ANGUS GUIDE TO EPDS RedAngus.org
YW – Yearling Weight predicts differences in 365-day yearling weight. Pounds | Higher Value ADG – Average Daily Gain predicts differences in weight gain between 205 and 365 days of age. Pounds | Higher Value DMI – Dry Matter Intake predicts differences in daily feed intake as measured in a feedlot during the post-weaning period. Pounds | Lower Value MILK – Milk predicts differences in weaning weight attributed to the milking ability of the animal’s daughters. Pounds | Higher Value ME – Maintenance Energy predicts the difference in maintence energy requirements. Mcals per Month | Lower Value HPG – Heifer Pregnancy predicts differences in the percent of daughters who are able to conceive and calve at 2 years of age following exposure to breeding. Percent | Higher Value CEM – Calving Ease Maternal predicts differences in the percent of daughters who are able to calve unassisted as 2-year-old heifers. Percent | Higher Value STAY – Stayability predicts differences in the ability of an animals’ retained daughters to remain productive in the herd – calve every year – through 6 years of age.

Selecting the bull that starts the sale can be a challenging task. The bull needs to be balanced across the gamut of phenotype, performance, carcass and pedigree. Lot 1 was a calf that caught your eye throughout the summer and still does now. His pedigree is stacked with cows that are performing above average in the herd. His dam has a 105 MPPA, followed by his granddam with a 109 and great granddam with a 102 MPPA and all are still producing on the ranch. Lot 1 • MLK CRK TOONIE TALK 5294 Dam

This March-born calf performed very well in terms of his weaning weight (118), yearling weight (121), and ADG (125) ratios while also ranking in the top 11% of the breed for REA and the top 13% of the breed for CW. This bull did well at converting feed into pounds and hopefully his offspring will as well.

Ridge Admiral continues to have his influence through his daughters in our program. Lot 8’s dam is a result of our embryo program where we flushed a top performing 10-year-old cow to Admiral and the result is having daughters bring bulls to the top pen in our sale. 5305 is a smooth, thick-made bull with a nice performance package.

Moderate, thick and attractive describes Lot 9. He is a bit younger than most of the bulls that he is penned with but has earned his way by posting the 3rd and 2nd highest wean- ing and yearling weights respectively. His dam is a moderate, thick-made 5-year-old 5L Cowboss daughter that consistently brings in calves above average, as has her dam and granddam.
