Page 2 - Bledsoe Cattle Co. - Bred Heifer Sale – Dec. 19, 2024

Greetings All,

Thank you so much for your interest in this sale. Our operation is first and foremost a commercial Red
Angus operation with a goal to produce the best and most uniform calves we possibly can. It became more
and more difficult to find bulls that met our expectations for quality, consistency, and quantity so we started
implementing A.I. and embryo transfer into our herd to help reach our goals. To help our chances in achiev-
ing our goals we went out and purchased multiple “picks” throughout the years. Any female that we have that
do not have the “OOO” prefix are females we did a lot of homework on and feel like they were the best one to
be had at the given situation. This includes buying “Pick” of Green Mountains whole bred heifer herd in 2019
and 2020, buying “Pick” with our great friends over at SRS Red Angus and selecting the best replacement
heifer we could find in Beckton’s whole herd, and more recently spending three days going through Ludvig-
son’s complete female dispersal with our great friend Micheal Rea, where we feel like we were able to pick up
3 of the top 5 best phenotypical females out of 1,700 head.

Buying incredible donors has been what has kept our bull battery heading in the direction we strive for, but
one side effect of our program is the incredible females we have been fortunate enough to produce. As we
mentioned, we are a commercial operation and have no desire to be in the “registered” business so that is
why we are getting rid of every 2023 or older model female and why you have the opportunity at these cattle.

We are selling all the females as mentioned but we are only offering the good disposition, good doing, good
looking end. The bottom cut will have a different fate. These females we would argue have lived and survived
conditions harder than any registered cows you will find, spending their life out in big pastures with minimal
inputs, not eating every bite standing in a barn eating from a bunk.

We feel that as you go through the catalog and the videos you will be impressed with the quality. We aren’t
trying to be cute and try to outsmart anyone so the cattle will be in order of their I.D. number for most part.
You will find a lot of full sisters, maternal sisters, and exceptional quality through the whole offering. We have
collected embryos from females throughout the offering and do plan to retain the right to ONE COLLECTION/
FLUSH at our cost and the buyers convenience on all females being offered.

We just recently moved the cattle to pens 3 miles south of Flagler, CO for sale preparation and ease for people
to look at them. We were fortunate enough to receive a 30 year snow in early November and the side effects
of that have helped add a little character/mud to the process. We will take the moisture over shiny cattle any
day.

Feel free to reach out if you have any questions and thanks again for your interest!

The Bledsoes

P.S. Look for the $40,000 “OOO Hayley 23144” at the Cattlemen’s Congress in January!

pecial Note
Special Note As mentioned previously, November brought 6”+ of moisture (40+” Snow) where these
S
heifers are located south of Flagler, CO and to say it has been a muddy mess is an
understatement. We feel confident you can see through the mud that they may have on
them and will be impressed with the structure, feet, legs, disposition, and body condition
in very adverse conditions.
