Welcome
Welcome to our offering of Red Angus genetics that have been developed over the past 38 years since we started in the Red Angus business. Thank
you for taking the time to view the information that we have provided in hopes that it will give you the information needed to better inform you
about the animals in this offering as well as our program as a whole. Our hope is that our customers can find us open to share all segments of our
operation including who we are as a family and that we can understand the needs of our customers well enough to develop lasting relationships that
go beyond the cattle industry.
We have arranged this offering of bulls so that they will sell in catalog order. We begin by sorting two high performance pens of bulls with one
pen made up of heifer bulls and the other pen containing cow bulls. After that, we try to keep this process simple on our part, so we sort bulls into
pens by sire groups and then develop a sale order within each pen which is based on the animals individual ID with a few exceptions. Through this
process you will be able to find good bulls throughout this offering and the best bulls might not be at the front end of the sale.
We have added Ridge Oak Canyon 0072, 5L Foreman 04H, Ridge True North 0089 to our bull battery to offer some different genetics to our
customers. We once again are offering sons of Ridge Admiral 3411, 5L The Real Deal 143B, RED Minburn Copenhagen 3Y, and Mlk Crk Fusion
5202. We feel that these sires fit into our breeding philosophy and and are being tested here in large contemporary groups.
We continue to have the bulls developed at Eric and Andrea Bowman’s in Rhame, North Dakota. It has been a pleasure to work with this family for
over 30 years when we started feeding with Eric’s dad, Bruce. Now we get to watch Dillon, Olivia and Grayson (Eric and Andrea’s children) be-
coming more involved with their operation. Eric feeds the bulls a TMR ration so that they should gain around 2.5 pounds per day. The bulls have
two large lots along with a small pasture to get adequate exercise so they can develop for their future job of breeding cows and heifers.
We hope that the information provided within the pages of this catalog will be useful to you in evaluating our offering. If you have any questions
about this information or need additional information please do not hesitate to contact us.
We always look forward to the opportunity to meeting people involved in this ranching life style as well as renewing friendships from the past.
May God Bless You,
Bruce, Tena, Jaclyn Ketchum and Jeff, Cele and Blaze Menees
As servants of the Lord, we are striving to be
