Page 2 - Hanging H Ranch Annual Bull Sale – Jan. 26 - Feb. 1, 2023

Sale Information HANGING H RANCH

Welcome,
It is hard to believe it is this time of the year again already! I would like to start by saying thank you to all our past customers
for your continued support. Without you we would not be able to follow our passion in the cattle business.
We are very excited once again to offer another set of bulls that I feel showcases what our program is all about. It is always
my focus to raise well balanced cattle that can thrive in any environment and be profitable.
My top priority has always been to offer quality over quantity. Bulls are a big annual expense for any commercial cattlemen,
so we strive to only offer the very best of our genetics to our customers. I put an extremely strong emphasis on produc-
ing “functional” cattle that combine eye appeal, calving ease, performance, strong maternal traits, efficiency, and structural
soundness. I do not believe in chasing numbers but instead seeing the results in the pasture. We use extensive AI and use
a majority of well proven sires the commercial cattlemen can count on. Using Artificial insemination allows us to focus on
each female and gives us the ability to mate her to a sire that will result in well-balanced progeny. Crossbreeding has also
been one of our main focuses. It is one of the greatest tools we use to add performance, longevity, eye appeal, fertility, flesh-
ing ability, and maternal traits.
MANAGEMENT:
We summer calve starting in mid-May. Our cows are expected to calve unassisted on pasture. We had 98% of our 2021 calf
crop calve unassisted with live calf. Udder quality and calving ease is always bred in. Because we calve on pasture these
are two traits that are very important to us. The calves are not creep fed and rely solely on their mother’s milk. Calves are
weaned in early November and are fed a high roughage 42 Megacal ration allowing them to grow at a natural pace. They
are then turned out on native pasture through the summer and fall months, the same way we manage our steer and heifer
calves. Through this process we are better able to cull out the average and below average animals. We normally will graze
the bulls on native pasture and crop regrowth until mid-November. Due to our abnormally dry fall conditions, we started
supplementing them with free choice grass/alfalfa mix hay and 25 pounds of corn silage from October 20th to November 15.
They remained on a 200-acre field allowing them plenty of exercise and additional roughage. They were then transitioned to
a 42-megacal TMR ration starting middle of November to present. We do not believe in covering up flaws with grain. These
bulls have been grown out in a way that ensures longevity, structural soundness, and ultimately a longer servicing career.
