From junction of Highways 45 & 26: (17 miles North of Miller) 2 miles west, 1 mile North, and 1/2 mile West.
The bulls have been developed on a high roughage ration and have not been on creep. A volume discount will be offered on three or more bulls purchased. We will keep the bulls at no additional charge until April 15. They will be fertility tested before delivery. We will also offer 40 bred heifers this year. All heifers were AI synchronized bred to Mogck Sure Shot in one day and were cleaned up with Final Answer sons over a 45 day period. They are due to begin calving March 25. They were ultrasounded for calving date. This year we ve invested in Zoetis HD 50K genetic testing to aid our customers with dependable genetic information for 15 important and valuable traits. High-Density (HD) 50K Global Angus provides genomic predictions for Angus cattle by using more than 50,000 markers for a suite of traits related to calving ease, growth, efficiency, maternal productivity, temperament, carcass yield and meat quality, as well as the beef industry s first DNA-based economic selection index ($MVPFL) that includes growth, efficiency and carcass traits. The numbers are presented as a percentage rank, with a lower number indicating a more favorable potential for that trait. For example, a bull with a score 10 is in the top 10% of the global data set. A score of 1 indicates the animal is in the top 1% of all animals tested globally. Currently, there are over 40,000 animals worldwide in the data set in which our bulls were tested. Forty-seven of our bulls ranked in the top 10% for yearling weight and over half were in the top 10% for weaning weight. On every trait, our herd averaged higher than the mean of the total data set. We are pleased to see that our breeding choices are keeping us at the forefront of the Angus breed. Each trait is explained in more detail in the table below. As with any data available, this is an additional tool to help your herdsire decisions. We d be more than happy to answer any questions. Call anytime or stop by to look at the bulls and visit. Come early on sale day, lunch will be provided. We look forward to seeing you on Feb. 22!

Lower ranks are preferred, especially when selecting sires for use on replacement heifers for easier calving progeny. Weaning Weight (WW) Pounds Measures difference in genetic merit for adjusted 205-day weaning weight, with lower rank values indicating heavier weights. Yearling Weight (YW) Pounds Indicates differences in breeding value for adjusted 365-day weight, with lower ranks equating to genetics for heavier yearling weights. Yearling Height (YH) Inches Describes genetic differences in adjusted 365-day hip height, with lower ranks translating to genetics for taller animals.
Trait & Acronym Units Description Dry Matter Intake (DMI) Residual Feed Intake (RFI) Milking Ability (MA) Pounds of Feed (Dry Matter) Consumed Per Day Pounds of Feed (Dry Matter) Consumed Per Day Compared to Expected Consumption Pounds of Weaning Weight (WW) Quantifies genetic differences for feed intake while on feedlot finishing rations. Ranks for DMI should be evaluated in relation to genetic merit for output traits, especially including ranks for yearling and carcass weight (YW and CW). Describes genetic variation in weight of dry matter consumed per day, as compared to expected feed consumption based on body weight and growth rate. Lower rank values are desired, and identify genetics for less feed intake for the same amount of weight gain. Evaluates differences in genetic merit for the maternal component of calf weaning weight, predominantly due to milking ability of dams (or daughters). Genetic potential for milking ability should be matched to available feed resources, which implies that intermediate rank values are likely optimum for many production systems. Scrotal Circumference (SC) Centimeters Describes genetic differences in age at puberty as indicated by adjusted yearling scrotal circumference. Lower ranks for scrotal circumference equate to genetics for earlier and more desirable age at puberty in both bulls and heifers. Docility (DOC) % Quantifies genetic differences in the probability of acceptable (calm) versus unacceptable (wild) temperament. Lower ranks mean greater likelihood of more manageable disposition. Carcass Weight (CW) Pounds Measures differences in breeding value for pounds of carcass weight at a constant age. Lower ranks indicate genetics for heavier carcass weights, which are generally desired, as long as heavy weight thresholds that result in discounts are avoided. Fat Thickness (FAT) Inches Communicates genetic differences in fat thickness measured adjacent to the ribeye between the 12th and 13th rib, at a constant age. Higher ranks indicate genetics for fatter carcasses and an adverse impact on USDA yield grades, but may be desirable for maternal fleshing ability in breeding females. Ribeye Area (REA) Inches Describes genetic variation in carcass muscularity as measured by ribeye area between the 12th and 13th rib, at a constant age. Lower ranks for ribeye area favorably impact USDA yield grades and associated carcass premiums. Marbling Score (MS) USDA Score Units Quantifies genetic differences in USDA marbling scores at a constant age, with lower ranks indicating higher levels of marbling and generally more desirable quality grades and associated carcass premiums. Tenderness (TND) Molecular Value Prediction - Feedlot Index ($MVPFL) Pounds of Shear Force US Dollars Evaluates differences in genetic merit for tenderness based on the amount of shear force required to slice through cooked steak samples. Lower rank values are preferred and indicate less shear force required and more desirable meat tenderness. Predicts net return from combined genetic merit for feedlot (FL) gain, dry matter intake, carcass weight, as well as USDA quality and yield grades (marbling, rideye area and fat thickness). The index assumes approximately 160 days on feed consuming concentrate rations and carcass value derived from a Certified Angus Beef (CAB) grid. Lower ranks indicate more desirable combined genetic merit.
