**UPDATE** We have sold most of the bred females on our list this year. As of posting this, the remaining cow and heifers either have already calved, or will calve soon. We have reached a number that we are happy keeping for this year and don’t usually sell pairs, but if you are interested in buying some of the remaining females as pairs let us know and we may be able to work something out. Also, keep checking back this fall when we will post another set of bred females for sale by private treaty. We should have the list done by mid-October. Thanks everyone for another very successful private treaty sale season!
This fall we are offering another set of bred cows and heifers for sale by private treaty. There are 14 bred cows and 23 bred heifers listed below. Every year we need to sell some cows and heifers to keep our total herd size stable, and make room for the heifers that we keep back. These sale cows are almost all cows that got bred later than we would like for our calving season, and include a few cows that we have been using as embryo recipient cows who didn’t settle with an embryo this year (7U, C77 and D63). To learn more about the service sires they are bred to, visit our Herd Sires page. Feel free to give us a call and stop by, we would be happy to show them to you.
The Red Angus Association of America has recently begun calculating their EPDs with a new system called BOLT. These new EPDs offer the most accurate genetic predictions available. In the transition to the BOLT EPDs, some traits have had their EPD base change, most notably CED, Stay, and Herd Builder. The following link takes you to an EPD Percentiles chart that can help you get a feel for where these EPD values rank within the breed:
Also, with the new BOLT EPDs, the EPDs will be calculated and published every week instead of twice per year, meaning that the animals’ current EPDs might vary slightly from the EPDs listed here. These EPDs are current as of Jan. 5, 2020. For the most up to date EPDs, click the following link to the Red Angus Association’s database and search with the animal’s registration number (Reg #):
