Welcome cattlemen and cattlewomen!
First off, I want to say THANK YOU to all our customers that have supported us over the last 4 years
so we can continue to do what we love and breed good red angus cattle! Also THANK YOU for tak-
ing time out of your busy schedule to consider our program and study our catalog! We would love
to earn the opportunity to earn your business! Thank you to all our past customers who have given
us all the positive feedback! We would like to remind everyone even if the feedback isn’t positive,
we would love to hear your thoughts and concerns so we can keep moving our program forward to
better serve you!
Crazy to think that this is our 5th sale already! Providing top tier customer service is something we
strive to offer to our customers! We want you to be happy with your purchase and be profitable at
the end of the year! Your investment in our genetics is a big one that makes a long-lasting impact on
your herd. When buying genetics from our program you are getting more than just a bull or female,
but also gaining a lasting friendship and a partnership built on trust, support, and shared success!
It is a crazy time to be in the cattle business right now with these all-time highs! As I write this, we
are seeing kill cows bringing $1.30+, kill bulls bringing $1.60+ a lb and fat cattle bringing well north
of $2.00 lb! This is a good time to sell those old herd bulls to trade them in on a younger bull with
fresh genetics! With feeder calves selling for around $2,000 a head and fat cattle selling for around
lasting impact on your herd and bottom line!
Our bulls are developed on a high roughage diet that consists of silage, alfalfa, corn, protein pellet
and dry hay. We feel it is very important to keep the bulls full on dry hay, so we offer a choice of dry
hay. The bulls are developed in a 5-acre pasture to let them get enough exercise and play around like
bulls like to do! Our goal is that these bulls last for our customers, bulls remain sound, problem free
and long-time genetic contributors to your herd! Our bulls are not pushed! We shoot for 3 lb a day
gain so they are ready to be breeding machines when we deliver them to your ranch! The bulls are
parent-verified, genomic-enhanced EPD’s, carcass ultrasound and complete performance data! The
bulls are on a full mineral and vaccine protocol! Bulls will be semen tested a week before the sale so
you can buy with confidence!
The females are fed a TMR ration consisting of dry hay, sorghum sudan grass mix baleage, and
ryelage. We also roll out dry bale of hay in the corn field for them to graze and get their exercise. We
make the cows walk a ¼ mile back to the yard for water. The bred heifers & cows on the sale are not
pampered or sorted off from the main cowherd. The cows get free choice blueprint loose mineral,
salt blocks and are on a full vaccine protocol, Johnes tested and cleared and have received guardian
for scour protection for the calves! Bred females will be preg checked a week before the sale to
confirm they are pregnant!
We feel a solid foundation is very important in the cow calf operation and that it all starts with the
momma cow! We focus hard on a maternal foundation, and you will see many of the bulls we use
are backed by momma cows that produce well into their teens! Our cattle are bred for balance with
a strict culling criteria so they can be productive and have longevity built into the pedigrees to equal
profitability! We also cull for disposition, udder quality and structural soundness.
We encourage you to come and take a look at the cows that stand behind this group of bulls! If you
would like to come, take a tour through the cow herd before the sale date feel free to reach out any-
time! We want you to be 100% satisfied with your purchase that we are giving a $150 sale credit if
you call before the sale to talk about the offering! We can’t wait to see you on Saturday, March 15th
and if you have any questions don’t hesitate to reach out!
Sincerely
Russ, Paula, Austin, Leczi, Emelea, Izaac, Waylon & Wrenley
