The Bulls SATURDAY, OCTOBER 25, 2025 AT 11:00 A.M. Great Bulls come from Great Cow Families with Deep Roots, too! 91% of the YFF offering meets Targeting the Brand TM genetic requirements for the Certified Angus Beef ® brand. Only the top 73% of the bulls that were weaned in the two-year-old contemporary groups, have made the cut to be sold in this auction. The bottom end of our bulls become steers . There are no bulls sold prior to sale day and they have not been picked over. We don’t trim feet. The bulls have not been clipped. both AI and natural service. We believe it is important to use the bulls we produce to ensure their calves can compete in groups of calves sired by well-respected AI bulls. Our genetics are adaptable to many geographical areas and actually seem to thrive in the hot, humid conditions in the Southeast, including areas that rely on fescue. Bull Delivery is free in FL, GA, NC, SC and anywhere in the continental US with a $6000 purchase. Coming Two-Year Olds The coming two-year-old bulls were weaned, (with no creep) and preconditioned. They were supplemented with a ration, consisting largely of wheat/oat/ryegrass baleage, and corn silage, with limited amounts of hominy and corn gluten feed. All spring and summer they developed on grass, be it oats, triticale, wheat, ryegrass, millet, fescue, or bermuda. Those offered in the sale not only made the cut after weaning time, but stood up to the test of maintaining their body condition on forages. Other than routine deworming, fly control, and free choice minerals, these bulls were developed on a high forage diet with absolutely no pampering as they matured. They are rock-solid and we are confident they will perform in the pasture, breeding cows as trouble-free sires should. We prefer to develop our two-year-old sale offering in this manner as it is more economical over the longer development period and certainly fits a real-world commercial situation, while helping to ensure longevity. Data should only be compared WITHIN like age and development groups. Use the EPDs to compare bulls between the development groups. Long Yearling Bulls (September born) The coming yearling bulls were weaned, (with no creep) and preconditioned. Due to numerous requests for yearling bulls in the Fall Sale, September born bulls are offered in the fall. These bulls were fence line weaned on grass and continued to limit graze post weaning for several weeks. Late summer they were started on a high roughage ration consisting largely of corn silage, wheat/oat/ryegrass baleage, Bermuda hay, hominy, and corn gluten feed. How the bulls are handled... 1. At birth, bulls were vaccinated for Clostridial disease and IBR, PI3. Bulls were vaccinated at 3-4 months of age for BVD, BRSV, IBR, PI3, Pasteurella and Clostridial disease. Bulls were also vaccinated with wart vaccine and Endovac. At weaning, bulls were boostered for the same and were dewormed. Approxi- mately a month before the sale, bulls received booster vaccines, dewormer, and were given a vibriosis/ leptospirosis vaccine. 2 . Bulls were not creep fed at any point and were weaned on forages with no grain. After a short adjust- ment period following weaning, they all began test. ET bulls are so noted in the sale book and were raised on recipient dams. 3. YFF has been Johne’s testing for over 24 years (JPL4). The bulls all tested negative for PI-BVD. 4. Bulls were scanned for ultrasound measurements by Andy Meadows, DVM, a B.I.F. and AAA Cup Certified technician from Springwood Livestock Management Systems in Wytheville, VA. 5. All bulls were given a complete breeding soundness exam by Dr. Jeff Nordin and Dr. Joel Riley from Saluda, S.C. in October 2025. All bulls older than 18 months, on sale day, are tested for Trich. They are slicked off after a long, hot summer as they should. You will find many of the cattle in the offering sired by “ Yon ” bulls,
