Page 2 - Regency Acres Annual Angus Production Sale – April 1, 2022

Cattle Producers and friends,

Our family would like to welcome and invite you
to our 37th annual bull sale and our 65th year of
offering high-quality, balanced trait, registered Angus
bulls. Thank you for taking the time to review this
catalog.

The cattle market right now is shaping up to be
one of the very best that we have seen in 10 years,
maybe longer. All we are waiting on is the good
Lord to grant us some moisture. This market could
explode to record levels and do it in a hurry. What an
exciting time to be in this business!

At Regency Acres, our mission is to raise as labor
free and forage efficient of a cow as possible and
for that cow to be a predictable breeder. We breed
for smart, sound cattle that can travel, cattle with length, volume and that extra rib, cattle that are easy
fleshing, and cattle with longevity and are nice to be around. We want cows with good udders that take
care of their calves, vigorous calves that get up quickly and get to suckling. We breed for cattle that are
beefy, long, deep, and perform under a wide array of conditions. All of those things we select for and are
things that are passed on though genetics. The genetics that are introduced into our herd are done so with
much research and contemplation. Some have been good decisions, some out of necessity, and some
have been not so good. We score our cattle on many little things that can make a big difference. With
that said, one can look through the cattle and appreciate the depth and uniformity of the cattle and the
progress that has been made.

The drought/grasshoppers last summer had its effect on the calves. Weaning weights, not only here but
all over this area were a good 50 pounds lighter. The bulls have been developed on a high roughage
ration designed for a 2.75 lb. gain/day. This allows the bulls to develop and grow at their own pace without
causing structural damage. This year we ended up a little over 3.25 pounds of gain. This was expected with
the lighter weaning weights. They will be carcass ultrasounded and fertility tested prior to the sale. They
have been given two rounds of footrot vaccine.

The heifers are straight out of our registered replacements. The bottom 25% were already culled. They are
developed on silage, beet pulp, and chopped hay and run in a large pasture where they can get plenty of
exercise. They are bangs vaccinated, freeze branded, have all their yearling shots and will be ready to go
to work for you.

You’re welcome to come view the bulls and heifers any time before the sale at the ranch. Videos of the
bulls are posted on YouTube and can be found through our website.

We look forward to seeing you on Friday, April 1st.
