WELCOME TO OUR 2025 PRODUCTION SALE!!

2024 brought record lows on cattle numbers nationwide and along with that record prices. The market for classes of cattle have been very strong and that trend
looks to continue for 2025. When we look at heifer retention and cattle inventory numbers, we are seeing 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 this is a great opportunity 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 ears. We 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. We
think it’s vital for the cowman to watch maternal traits. We work very hard on our cowherds and would be happy to show them to anyone. We want medium
frame cows with great udders and feet, quiet dispositions and good mothering ability without chasing you out of the pen when she calves.

Our cattle run from 4,500 feet to 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 that will help you stay
profitable in the future. EPDs can change a little on some of the cattle between the printing of the catalog and sale time due to weekly runs of BOLT system. We
will have a supplement sheet available sale, on our websites as well as DV Auction prior to the sale.

We develop our bulls post weaning in a very specific way to provide you, our customer, with the most reliable and longest lasting product possible. We start the
bulls out slow after weaning and work our way to a maximum ration of 45-48 megacals. This is shown by the fact that our average back fat on ultrasound day
was 0.199”. Our ultrasound tech said he rarely scans cattle with as much marbling with as little back fat. We do not feed a “hot ration”. We want them to grow
slower and show their true genetic potential, not their feed potential, this also helps their feet hold up longer and they won’t “melt” as bad during their first
breeding season. We could make them fatter and heavier but choose not to for the good of our customers. We also believe this helps to show how their daughters
will do as those females kept as replacement will not be getting a “hot ration” their entire lives and we do not want to produce females that require feed to breed
as heifers, rebreed in a timely matter, milk sufficiently and raise a quality calf that will make you money. This mentality all fits into our philosophy: WHERE
PERFORMANCE MEETS MATERNAL.

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 genetics. 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.

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. Also feel free to call one of the sale day phones.

We are so 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. We are blessed
to have great friends and customers throughout this great country. Above all we want to thank our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ for His amazing grace!!!!

Blessings from the Feddes and DeBoer families
