2012 Sale Catalog
Welcome ... Cattlemen, With last winter being one of the worst, one we would all like to forget, we are all getting spoiled with the weather this year. Cattle prices are at all-time highs, and it is very exciting time to be in this business. This years set of bulls are the first set that I have done the breeding on after buying the herd from Dick Harding, Bar R Red Angus, in 2009. I am a firm believer in quality over quantity which is why every cow that can be AIed, is. These bulls are out of some of the best sires out there and I believe it shows. Utilizing top genetics through AI is also showing dividends on the maternal side which, as we all know, is the backbone of what we do. With a rough spring for many of us, these bulls have come a long way on good grass and mama’s milk as these bulls are not creep fed. The bulls were weaned on Sept. 24 and have been on a corn, dry distillers, silage and alfalfa ration ever since. These bulls are brought along slowly to help promote longevity in feet, legs and health. Conservative feeding also allows the bulls to show there genetic potential as the best bulls are putting on more pounds without excess feed. This year I am doing things a little different and welcome feedback as to how you all like it. I am having a private treaty day sale. Prices will be set on each bull, as they have been in the past, however if more than one party is interested in a bull, bidding will take place between the two parties. The highest bidder gets the bull. This is the fairest way I know to allow everyone a fair chance at each bull. If no one else is interested in that bull you can buy the bull for the price that is set. Any bull not sold on Feb. 3 will be sold afterwards on a first-come, first-served basis. Any questions feel free to call. Please come that day so you don’t miss out on any bull! If you are unable to attend February 3 feel free to come out anytime and look at the bulls and I can get you on the phone sale day. We also are providing a complimentary lunch that day so please come and enjoy a meal with us. Everyone is welcome! I would like to say a special thank you to past and returning customers and look forward to seeing new faces. Red Angus is a growing breed and gaining more and more recognition! Please come and buy with confidence!
