**Update**. All but one of the 2024 group of bred females are already sold. We had a number of repeat customers that jumped on them right away. We do still have this year’s set of open heifer calves, and that data can be found on the Heifers For Sale page. We’d like to say a sincere Thank You to all who have bought from us and especially those who keep coming back; we love to get reports back from satisfied customers! We plan to have another set of breds available again next fall!
We are offering another set of bred females for sale by private treaty again this year. This year’s offering is comprised of 14 bred cows and 2 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 a number of these cows are ones that got bred later than we would like for our preferred breeding season. We had an excellent AI season this year, and that has allowed us to also offer more early, AI bred cows than we normally do. 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 September 23, 2024. 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 #):
