| Here is one of the 2011 bull calves this fall. These calves will be weaned in the middle of October and sent to feedlot to grow until spring of 2012. |

This Bull Calf is by our Herd Sire,
Noahs Great Plains 26-4059
x OCC Great Plains
and out of a Dam by Gar Expectation . He meets
all of our tough requirements to be for sale as a
Heifer Bull. Along with his great breeding, he also
has some great stats. His BW was 80#, his Birth
EPD is 1.50, his Adjusted 205 day
weaning WT
was743#, and his projected yrl wt. is 1041#.
FOR SALE $2,750 - SOLD

2nd Heifer born this year - out of a 1st calf heifer,
and she is a beauty! (5/6/10)
This is a 2008 bull calf, he had a BW of 85#, a WW of 684,
a yrl wt of 1092 and a beef value of $41.10.
He was sold to Stan and Carissa Jones and now sires calves
for them in the Warner Valley.

It’s hard to imagine a much better Bull Calf. The big calf in the
foreground has got the breeding, he is by Noahs Hero 18-4056
out of a beautiful 3 yr old cow. His BW was 93#, he weaned at 793#
and he’s projected to weigh right at 1200# as a yrl. He probably
won’t make you 80# calves, more likely 90-95#. His gain on test has
been 2.87 ppd and that’s just on a hay and haylage ration, so your
calves by this bull more likely will gain 3.5-4.0 ppd when you put
them in the feed lot. His BEEF VALUE is $44.60. If you want
to raise fast growing vigorous cattle and have the cows to do it with,
this bull will get it done for you.
Priced at $3750. - SOLD

Information our buyers should consider about the data on our cattle Weights, ADG, EPD's, actual Carcass Data and $Beef Values.
- Strong maternal females with perfect teats and udders, good dispositions and that calve unassisted and take care of their calves.
- Moderate framed cattle with females that re-breed year after year……longevity and “repeatability”.
- Balanced trait cattle with adequate milk, IMF, REA, gain etc. No trait should be over emphasized at the expense of other traits. Too much milk compromises udder quality and longevity. We believe that “Extremes eliminate themselves in nature.”
- $EN
We believe that $EN figures should be considered by cattlemen. $EN measures differing cow energy requirements, expressed in dollars per cow per year as an expected dollar savings in future daughters of sires. A larger positive $EN figure means more dollars saved on feed energy costs. A negative $EN indicates “harder doing”, resource hungry cattle. Factors that affect $EN figures include basic energy requirements, milk and mature cow size/growth. As a rule, large milk, growth and mature size EPD numbers will lead to negative $EN. We believe in positive $EN cattle and will be providing that number on our cattle data. Here is a link to an article on the Angus Association website that has more explanation.
