Dear Cattlemen, It is a pleasure to welcome you to our upcoming Coleman Angus Annual Performance-Tested Bull Sale. Bull sale time is one of our favorite times of the year. This year, we are excited again to have the bull sale at our ranch. We look forward to seeing all our customers and friends along with meeting new ones and the opportunity to get to know you and learn more about your operations. Our program is totally committed to the commercial cowman, and every mating we make is designed to produce bulls that will work for you and make your ranch profitable. As you study the data and EPD’s in this book, you can see that we are committed to raising cattle that are balanced in all aspects, whether it is on paper, or phenotypically. This is the strongest, most consistent set of bulls we have ever raised and, from Lot 1 all the way to Lot 116, we have the upmost confidence that they will make you profitable. They have been an excellent set to see develop, be around, and a real pleasure to raise. These bulls are designed with extra thickness, fleshing ability, length, and will keep their condition while in the breeding pasture. They are the “Cowboy Kind” and have been developed on a high-roughage ration for moderate gain. It is our goal to have these bulls remain sound, problem-free, and to become long-term genetic contributors to the herds they go into. The bulls are never pushed hard, we feed them to gain 3 lbs. per day. The quickest way to ruin a bull is to feed it too much. They may look good on sale day, but it is just a matter of time before their feet and legs start going bad. It has been great to get data back from our customers on their calves in the feedlots and on the rail; consistently, calves sired by our bulls have been the most profitable set of calves in those feedlots and on the rail. We know that our bulls will leave a top set of replacement females and it is especially nice to hear that they will be at the top end in all segments of our industry. We have had many customers tell us about the extra longevity they are getting out of their Coleman bulls--this puts money in their pockets. As you flip through this book, you will note that we hit multiple times on one key component we feel very strongly about, “It All Starts with the Mother Cow.” We sort our cows hard for economically important traits such as longevity, fertility, efficiency, fleshing ability, disposition, udder quality, feet, and structural soundness. We know that you have a lot of choices when you purchase bulls but who are the mothers, grandmothers, and great-grandmothers that are behind these bulls? We know that if you are keeping replacement females then it is very vital that you look at the mothers of the bulls. This year, we tried to put photos of the mothers of each bull selling at the bottom of each page to feature the depth and generations of the highly productive females backing the bull selling, and we always welcome anyone to come and see the cows that these bulls are out of. We offer a free nationwide delivery on all the bulls selling along with a $100 discount per bull if you pick up on sale day. Haul your neighbor’s bulls home and get a $100/head discount on them too. We will start delivering the bulls in the middle of March. We also offer a First Breeding Season Guarantee on the bulls. You do not need to purchase insurance on them, just let us know if there is a problem of any kind and we will take care of it. We feel we have the best guarantee in the business as our belief is simply to treat you the same way that we would want to be treated. Make sure and visit with us if you are not aware of our guarantee. We also offer a volume discount on the bulls: 5% off on five bulls bought, 6% off on six, and up to 10% on ten or more bulls bought. Videos of the bulls will be available on our website: www.colemanangus.com or you can go to our YouTube channel www. youtube.com/user/colemanangusranch. The sale will be live on DV Auction. Information and updates will be available on our website closer to sale time, along with a sale order. Check us out on social media also. Please feel free to reach out to any of us with any questions. We look forward to seeing you all on sale day!
