WELCOME TO OUR 2024 PRODUCTION SALE!!
2023 brought record lows on cattle numbers nationwide and along with that record prices. The market became more volatile in the last
3 months of the year, but we have seen prices gain steam again in the early parts of 2024. When we look at heifer retention and cattle
inventory numbers, we are noticing a trend, supply will stay well below demand for the next several years. We as cow/calf producers will
be in the driver’s seat in this market. We believe there is no better time than now to set your operation up for success in the years to come
by increasing profitability with some of the best genetics in the breed. WHERE PERFORMANCE MEETS MATERNAL!
We want to express our appreciation to all of our friends and customers for your support of our program throughout the years. We really
stress maternal traits in our herds without sacrificing performance with calving ease. We are family owned and operated ranches breeding
Red Angus cattle since 1991. We utilize extensive AI and embryo transfer programs to provide you with the most advanced and very best
genetics possible. We manage the cattle ourselves with limited hired help, so we can represent our cattle from a day-to-day and hands
on perspective. We don’t chase fads! We breed for “BALANCED TRAIT SELECTION”. It looks like the cattle market could be really
good for the next few years, so it’s vital to watch the maternal traits. We work very hard on our cow herds and would be happy to show
them to anyone. We want medium frame cows with great udders and feet, and lots of body with quiet dispositions.
Our cattle run from 4,000 feet to high mountain grass at 8,000 feet in the summer. We use the most advanced technology available –
DNA testing, carcass evaluation, along with a strict culling program to give you, the customer the most accurate information possible
and the highest quality cattle that will help you stay profitable in the future. EPDs will change a little on some of the cattle between the
printing of the catalog and sale time due to weekly runs of BOLT system. Due to these changes and that the ultrasound data has not
made it into the EPDs as of the printing of this catalog we will have a supplement sheet available sale day, on our websites as well as DV
Auction prior to the sale.
The sires that are represented in the catalog are bulls that we feel fit our breeding philosophies. Bulls we use either AI or natural service
are evaluated first for foot quality and structure. If they pass, then we will begin to look at the genetics behind those bulls to make sure
they fit within our breeding parameters and will achieve our desired outcomes. We also look at their individual performance data, ratios,
EPDs and individual ultrasound data. By going through this strict process, we minimize our number of “mistakes”, or finding out 5 years
later that bulls we used just didn’t work and the daughters are all getting culled from the herd.
Videos will be available through links on our websites: feddesredangus.com and ctredangus.com. We will have DV Auction broadcasting
the sale online if you are unable to attend in person.
We are blessed to be able to support our kids and grandkids in various sports as well as 4-H, and other school, church and community
activities. Above all we want to thank our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ for His amazing grace.
Blessings from the Feddes and DeBoer families
