Welcome Red Angus
Welcome!
Welcome to our fourth annual bull sale. We are offering 35 yearling bulls
for sale this year. After going through a couple challenging years, 2025 is
shaping up to be a great year in the cattle business. The mild winter and
spring have been a blessing for many operations, and both the calf and cull
cow market are at all-time highs. With that being said, cows that hold up and
last longer in your herd are going to put more profit in your pocket over time.
Out of the 35 bulls being offered, only one of their dams was open last fall,
and she was a six-year-old cow. We don’t sell bulls out of young open cows
because those cows are NOT profitable!
The bulls are developed slowly on a low mega-Cal TMR that never exceeds a
50 mega-Cal. We start them out on a 44 mega-Cal at weaning and gradually
increase to a 50. We begin backing them down around the first of March
depending upon the weather and temperature, and they will be down to a
44 by delivery. We don’t push the bulls hard because we don’t want them
to fall apart during the breeding season. They’re developed to last for many
years. The average daily gain data you see is not from a “test” period. It is
from the time we record weaning weights, at weaning time, until we record
Oland Red Angus yearling weights at the end of February.

Facebook: Oland Red Angus cows at the same stocking rate as our commercial herd so that the data
you’re seeing is legitimate. This also helps us recognize differences in
the fleshing ability of our cows in order to cull those that can’t maintain
adequate body condition while raising their calf.
We cull hard here, especially for feet. We wouldn’t want to buy a bull out of
a cow with bad feet or udders and believe that nobody else would either.
That’s why we never offer progeny for sale out of cows with those traits and
avoid breeding to sires known to produce offspring with poor foot quality. It
doesn’t matter how good their EPD’s are. If they have bad feet, they’re culled.
Customer satisfaction is our number one goal. We want to know how the
bulls are working for you. Give us a call or stop by anytime, and we can
discuss which bulls would work best in your operation. Our cowherd is open
for viewing year-round, and we’d like to show you the dams behind the bulls.
As always, we stand behind our cattle 100%. Thank you for your interest in
our program.
Sincerely,
Klay Oland
