Page 2 - Red Hill Farms 14th Annual Red Angus Bull Sale – March 16, 2019

Dear Friends,

We are pleased to share our catalog and welcome you to our 14th Annual “More
than a Bull” sale at Red Hill Farms. We are thankful for our past customers and
for the many commercial producers and purebred breeders who have studied and
expressed interest in our cattle. In each of the last fi ve Red Hill spring sales, bulls
have sold into more than 13 states. It is humbling to learn of the success our cus-
tomers are having with Red Hill genetics. Our goal is to provide practical breeding
stock to improve the profi tability of our customers. We pride ourselves in offering
you, the customer, the results of our comprehensive records system—from birth
to rail to cowherd records—and sharing all the information with you.
2018 was the year of genetic evaluation change for both the American Simmental
Association and the Red Angus Association – transitioning to the IGS multi-breed
evaluation enabled by BOLT technology. With this change, we encourage you to
take note of the percentile rankings provided for each EPD. This value gives the rel-
ative ranking within each breed. While the EPDs may have changed, the differences
you may notice on paper do not change the cattle themselves or our commitment
to producing forage-adaptable cattle with a focus on the female!

We welcome you to join us on Friday for our cow herd tours and evening “Cattle
Talk.” The Friday evening program will feature Dr. Chris Teutsch, Forage Special-
ist at the University of Kentucky Research and Education Center in Princeton,
Kentucky. Dr. Teutsch will be covering a timely topic about restoring our pastures
following the excess moisture we are having in the southeast.
A major reward of the seedstock business is the opportunity to enjoy the friendship
and fellowship of our customers and fellow breeders. Visitors are always welcome
to visit our farm to study our cattle, records, and production system. We also enjoy
the opportunity to answer questions relative to the cattle and our operation. After
reviewing the catalog, please contact us with any questions you might have. We
hope to see you on March 15th and 16th.
Bart, Sarah and Ty Jones
