We are offering another set of bred females for sale by private treaty again this year. This year’s offering is comprised of 15 bred cows and 5 bred heifers. As usual, we had to find some females to sell in order to keep our herd size stable and make room for the new crop of bred heifers that we are keeping. It is always hard to pick cows to sell, and the majority of these cows are ones that got bred later than we would like for our preferred breeding season. We didn’t have as good of luck settling embryos this year, so some of our recipients that didn’t settle are clean-up bred and on this list. There are also a number of smaller cows and heifers this year (F34, H12, J08, J09, 43J, K38, K89) if that is something you are looking for. Feel free to reach out to Dan to talk about any of the females individually. Or to learn more about the service sires they are bred to, check out our Herd Sires page.
A few years ago, the Red Angus Association of America revamped their selection indexes, changing the formulas for how they are calculated, as well as adding a new third index, called the Profitability and Sustainability Index (abbreviated ProS). The new ProS index is a multi-purpose index, combining the traits that influence the Herdbuilder (maternal) index and the Gridmaster (terminal) index. If you have questions about these indexes and how to use them in your selection decisions, feel free to reach out to us. Also, to get a feel for where these animals’ indexes and EPDs rank within the Red Angus breed, click on the following link to go to the Red Angus Association’s EPD percentiles chart.
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 October 7, 2023. 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 #):
