As much as things change, they remain the same and it is
enjoyable to be active in such a positive industry. We have a set
of bulls in the 2016 offering that will help ensure you get your
share of the profit from the cattle industry. We research and select the
top genetics that will continually improve our cowherd, which in turn
gives us the opportunity to offer you some of the best Angus genetics
available.
The feeding program has remained the same. The home raised, rolled
oat based ration at about 1% body weight and good free choice hay,
has allowed our bulls to perform, grow and mature at reasonable rates
with their future in mind.
Our red and black bulls are comparable in genetics and performance.
Our Cutting Edge bulls are selected from over 50 bulls retained from a
200 head cow herd base. The sale bulls are pail fed, leading them to be
docile, while maintaining their soundness and activity in a large group.
As this sale takes place when most of the bulls are just over 12 months
old, and our weather can be unpredictably cold, the bulls may need
to return to the farm after the sale for semen testing when they have
matured more and the weather is more favorable. Delivery to your farm
will follow.
If you have any questions or wish to view the bulls ahead of time on the
farm, please do not hesitate to contact us. We look forward to seeing
you sale day!

Welcome to the 11th Annual Cutting Edge. We are
proud to offer this pen of multi dimensional bulls!
The group is loaded with real world advancing genetics.
Our cow herd is the heartbeat of the farm, as neither
of us have off farm or diversified agricultural incomes.
Are cows are it. Great time and debate is spent each
spring selecting new sires to benefit our program
and yours. Our selection criteria is very strict, as we
have selected bulls that combine overall balance of
phenotype and EDP data. As we selected our 2016
bull pen we did so with the long term vision that each
bull would make an impact on their first calf crop. The
bulls are managed with longevity in mind. They are
hand fed a homegrown growing ration of oats, cereal
silage and first cut hay.
This past year has been another great one, with continued long term optimism in the
beef industry.
It was a great summer watching Will & Wyatt participate in 4-H and junior breed shows.
These programs offer so many valuable benefits and life skills to our future generation.
These shows always bring us our fondest memories of the summer, watching values
grow strong.
We thank you for your support both past and present in our program. If we can be of
any assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Please consider this your personal invitation to the sale, and hospitality before and after.

The Tradition Some folks just don’t get it
They think owing cattle makes no senseIt takes too much time, too much equipment
not to mention the expense.But the fondest memories of my life-they might think sound funny -
were made possible by Mom and Dad,‘caust they spent the time and spent the money.
You see, the most important lessonshelping values grow so strong,
come from loving cattle and passing that tradition on.

To use ePds effectively you must understand how they work.Imagineyouareinterestedinpurchasingacoupleofbullsforyourherd.YouarelookingattheEPDsinasalecatalogue.Bull a has a weaning weight ePd of +10 and Bull B has a WW of +60. What does that mean? How can you use the ePds to choose between the two bulls?
Iftheseanimalswererandomlymatedwith10similarcows,wewouldexpectthegroupaverageweaningweightofBullA’soffspringtobe50lbslighterthanthatofBullB’s(60-10=50).

BW = Birth Weight–poundsofbirthweight(thelowerthenumber,thelighterthecalves)
WW = Weaning Weight–poundsofweaningweight (the higher the number, the morepoundswillbeweaned)
YW = Yearling Weight–poundsofyearlingweight (the higher the number the morepoundsasayearling)

This does not making buying a bull any easier – it should only give you more confidence in realizing what the animal can contribute. EPD’s are a pedigree estimate that can help you navigate management and environmental conditions. Keep in mind that it is still a 50/50 contribution between the bull and the female.
