HOOK AND WULF

Committed to moving the beef industry forward. ,

It’s time to... FORGE AHEAD

The Wulf and Hook families have personally witnessed many changes in the seedstock and beef industry since the “Performance Revolution” of the early 1970’s. Performance testing, ratios, EPD’s, Multi-breed Sire Evaluations and THE (Total Herd Enrollment) have become household terms in dedicated and committed seedstock programs. The past 45+ years have taught our families to stand on truth, yet be willing to innovate and improve. 2018 marks the year we genetically “FORGE AHEAD” as this spring we will have our entire genetic base (bulls, cows and heifers) genomically tested and parent verified. Our goal is to use every accurate genetic predictor, blended with time tested cowsense and the Lord’s hand, to provide our trusting customers with the most predictable, accurate and profitable genetics available. Genomic testing, performance testing and herd health testing comes with significant financial investment for our families, yet we are confident and committed to this pursuit for our customers success and the future of the beef industry. We are dedicated to being a full service genetic provider and would enjoy visiting with you about the growing list of farmer owned and commercial feedlots desiring to feed source verified and genetically superior feeders. Our seminar this year focuses on forging industry relationships between the multiple beef sectors. The Feeder Calf Profit Calculator is one such tool to differentiate feeder calf value and leverage your investment in high genetic merit seedstock.

BIRTH WEIGHT (BW): Pounds of birth weight. CALVING EASE (CE): Percent of unassisted births when used on heifers. CARCASS WEIGHT (CW): Pounds of carcass weight. MATERNAL CALVING EASE (MCE): Percent of unassisted birth in first-calving daughters. MILK (MM): Pounds of weaning weight due to milk and growth. MARBLING (MARB): Marbling score.

It’s almost time for the 2018 version of Bred for Balance and once again the set of bulls and females will be admired and sought after as some of the most genetically advanced and valuable to sell this year. Over the past several years, cattle from this sale have made impacts all over this nation because they work and generate value for the customers who choose to use them. The thought and dedication that goes into the design of these future herd sires is second to none and the proof is in the number of industry influential sires that have sold with the CLRS and Hook prefixes. You will find bulls here year after year that excel for quantified profit traits by EPD and that are pleasing to those who love great balance and physical features in cattle. You absolutely should expect to have it all. Commercial producers too are finding the value in buying great seedstock in Starbuck Minnesota. Many in states west have discovered the purchasing power they can leverage at Bred for Balance and appreciate the service they get after the sale. Volume buying here will deliver as much profit per dollar spent as anywhere in the country and the sound, muscular, wonderfully developed bulls, delivered to you will definitely meet or exceed expectations. In just the first year’s feeder cattle you will notice a difference, then over time, the value in the highly selected maternal genetics will have a profound effect on returns to the ranch. The cattle are just bred to simplify your life and make you more money for years to come. The females offered too have gotten it done, producing at a very high level. The dam of the up and coming Koch Big Timber bull was purchased in a $4500 bred heifer just a few years ago and a Grand Champion female at the National Western Stock Show also recently sold here as an open. The bred heifers are as solid as you will find with wonderful potential for return on investment and the 5 open females are becoming a feature with all the quality and look in the world. On behalf of the Tom Hook and Jim Wulf families we want to extend this invitation to attend the sale at Starbuck this February. One look at the facilities and attention to detail and I think you will be impressed with the commitment to the future. The cattle will speak for themselves and I can guarantee they will meet with your approval. We also will all be there on Thursday night for our annual producer meeting just in case you can get there a little early and enjoy the hospitality. Please feel free to give me a call before the sale at 406-581-7835 or try any of the sale team and we will make sure your questions are answered. Sincerely,

Marty Ropp

Bonnia has done it again; E-TRADE is a half brother to last years high seller, CLRS Dividend, who went to APEX Cattle for $52,500.

Genetic full brother to CLRS Constitution 311C, who sold to Rydeen Farms, MN for $23,000. More closely resembles the calving ease ability of his sire, Night Ride, along with the ridiculously high marbling in that line of cattle. Curve bending genetics in a smooth, moderate and well-designed package.

Conquest is stamping his progeny with ultra-cool front ends and muscle shape and Eastbound is no exception. Extremely long in his makeup he packs a lot of pounds on a moderate frame and pushed his CW EPD to 50+. Balance on every end of the spectrum in which cattle are evaluated making him a great candidate to move a herd in the right direction.

End Zone is fun to look at; moderate made yet packed with muscle, an expansive ribcage, thick top, wide based and excellent shape in his hindquarter. Sound structured bull who takes a long stride, is flexible in his joints and soft on his pasterns. Well-balanced set of EPDs with 12 traits at or above the 25th percentile and an API and TI both in the top 10%.

Everest is a well-balanced, good structured bull that still maintains a wide top and ample muscle shape. He performed well as he was the heaviest bull in the herd at weaning and posted a 4.4 ADG, earning a 110 ratio. Dam is an excellent 11-year-old cow who consistently weans one of the heaviest calves in the fall and seems to put a bull in someone’s herd every year.

These Bozeman daughters are calm, sound footed and look to be making nice udders. Dani is angular fronted, yet carries a big rib cage and has a very maternal look. The Bozeman x Dividend mating is one we feel has a high probability for customer success.

An absolute tank of a female with muscle shape, base width and tremendous volume. Across the board, it is hard to find a fault in Eloquence; her balanced EPDs and individual performance says brood cow all the way. With all her mass, she still has great extension, neck/shoulder junction and soundness.
