Page 2 - Regency Acres 2017 Annual Angus Bull Production Sale

Welcome cattlemen and women to the 2017 Regency Acres
Angus annual bull sale.

It is our pleasure to invite you to be our guest on Friday
April 14th for lunch at 11:30 A.M. with the sale to follow at
1 P.M. Coffee and doughnuts will be available throughout
the morning while you browse through the bulls. For lunch
we will again be having Smokin-n-Jokin BBQ cook for us
and they will be smoking CAB tri-tip with peach beans and
potatoes. As always you are welcome to stop by the ranch
anytime before April 13st to look through the cattle. We would
be happy to show you the bulls and the cows behind them.

This year marks 60 years in the registered Angus business
for the Thiessen family. That kind of longevity in this business
cannot be achieved without the continued support of our longtime customers. We are very grateful and humbled by
this and do not take it for granted nor do we take our job as a seed stock supplier lightly. We do a lot of studying and
research on any new bloodlines that we may introduce into our genetics so that we can continue to provide a product
that works for you. Over those 60 years we have continued to strive to produce that perfect female for our environment.
One that goes out and fi nds her food, calves easy, breeds back, is structurally sound, has a gentle disposition, and
produces a profi table calf. While this perfect female has yet to be produced (and I would argue anyone that says they
have one!) we are getting closer to where we want to be. In our search to fi nd outside sires that have clean pedigrees,
natural thickness, good feet and legs, are out of good, clean-made cows with nice, tight udders, and “fi t” our program,
we have found ourselves utilizing more and more of our own home-raised bulls. By doing this we have observed a
more uniform, consistent calf crop. As you evaluate these bulls, you will notice there isn’t a lot of difference from Lot 1
to 100.

The bulls selling were developed on a 44 Mcal high
roughage ration consisting of corn silage, ground hay and
corn (limited to 0.75#/cwt) designed for a 2.75 lb gain.
This allows the bulls to develop and grow at their own pace
without causing structural damage. They have been freeze
branded, carcass ultrasounded, fertility tested, and given
two rounds of foot rot vaccine and wart vaccine

This year we are not offering any heifers for sale. We calved
extremely heavy to bull calves last year so by the time we
sort off our replacements and cull the bottom end there
wouldn’t be enough to justify putting them in the sale. So,
we are going to breed all of them and then offer some for
sale in the fall. If you are interested in them let us know.

Thank you for taking time to review the catalog. We look forward to seeing you on April 14th.

Russ, Jill,Téa and Tyler Thiessen
