Bull Talk

It seems every year it gets harder to write this letter, as we always try to find a new way to “brag” about the bulls for each sale. We focus on raising cattle that are in the top of the Angus breed, so no matter what the customer’s emphasis is, our bulls can fit their selection criteria. Whether it be for producers who sell their stock by the pound that need high growth and easy fleshing characteristics, those who sell cattle to be sold as beef that need high carcass genetics, or those who need longevity, high fertility, and maternal made bulls, we have them all.

Our 42nd Annual Bull Sale offers a tremendous group of growthy, high scrotaling, high carcass, and easy fleshing bulls. Highlighting traits such as: calving ease, maternal strength, structural correctness, fleshing ability, growth, disposition, and carcass quality (with high choice and prime premium possibilities) create the “Right Combination Bull”. We want our bulls to gain pounds while still maintaining a low feed expense. Emphasizing carcass genetics has become essential and at the time of writing this letter, the market has a $26 spread between Choice and Select. There is no better time to purchase bulls that breed carcass genetics, growth, calving ease, thickness and structural soundness. Of the 100 bulls in this year’s sale, 89% meet the “Targeting the Brand” for CAB, and 75 of these lots are calving ease.

In this day and age many of us are finding it harder and harder to persistently work day in and day out in this life of agriculture. We all struggle to find feed and water for our livestock, loyal fulltime employees and of course balance expenses for our ever-increasing operating costs. It is easy to be sucked into a depressive, anxious and worried state of, why are we still doing this? How can we make the public understand the struggle we go through every day to meet their essential needs? We do it because we are the individuals strong enough to go through the volatilities that agriculture continuously throws our way. We will persevere with a good work ethic and our families that will continue the legacy and enjoy the wholesome lifestyle that agriculture offers. Let us not get discouraged, show respect and encouragement to all the men and women earning a living just like us and our grandfathers and NEVER give up.

We would like to invite you on January 17th, 2023 to see a brilliant lineup of bulls and enjoy a great meal. If you are unable to attend in-person, live bidding will be available through DVAuction. Also, wintering and delivery is available.

Sincerely,
Ken Haas Angus
