Page 2 - Thiessen's Regency Acres Angus Production Sale – April 12, 2024

Welcome

Cattle Producers and friends,

Our family would like to welcome and invite you to our 39th
annual bull sale and our 67th year of offering high quality
balanced trait registered angus bulls. Thank you for taking the
time to review this catalog. In the words of our auctioneer, we
feel “this is one ripping good set of bulls”! Multiple lifetimes of
breeding cattle with a goal in mind, a goal of added thickness,
depth, and length, a goal of mild dispositioned cattle, a goal
of producing pounds of quality beef is evident when you look
through these bulls.

At Regency Acres Angus, 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, that have 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.
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.

Last winter was one for the record books as far as snow fall and the moisture kept coming throughout the
summer. We were measuring rains in the inches, not tenths or hundredths like we normally do. The Lord
giveth and he taketh away. With the record rainfall we had to deal with a new pest, stable flies. They were
so bad that some of the cattle’s legs and bellies looked like it had been bitten down to meat! Because of
these flies attacking their bellies and legs and udders we think some of these calves got weaned off in July or
August. This greatly effected those animals’ weaning weights. While most of these calves were steered, some
made up the lost ground in the feedlot and we decided to keep them in the sale. The genetics are there and
proven. We stand behind these 100% and feel you won’t be disappointed.

The bulls have been developed on a high roughage ration designed for a 2.75 lbs./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
3.1 pounds of gain. They will be fertility tested prior to the sale. They have been given two rounds of foot rot
vaccine.

The heifers are straight out of our registered replacements. The bottom 25% were already culled. They are
developed on silage, chopped hay and a little bit of corn 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 DVAuction.com.

We look forward to seeing you on Friday, April 12th.
