LAURON RED ANGUS

& Open Females

WELCOME TO OUR 32ND ANNUAL BULL & FEMALE SALE 2023!

We extend a huge thank you to all who have supported our program in the past and we look forward to meeting new friends and customers. We appreciate you all who work behind the scenes to bring forth a set of cattle for your appraisal.

Through the years, we try to assemble a set of bulls and females that can perform in true settings, thus we raise our castle on natural pasture without creep, cull vigorously for traits we find valuable such as calving ease, performance, maternal strength, structural soundness and eye appeal. We welcome you to tour the herd anytime. The bulls are wintered on a forage ration consisting of silage, chopped hay, rolled oats and a custom formulated bull supplement to ensure longevity and expression of growth. We target for about 3 -3.5lbs. of gain per day, bulls are ready and eager to get out and work! By sale day they will have received Fusogard vaccine for footrot and passed a semen test. No deferred bulls offered. Scrotal measurements and updated weights will be available closer to sale day. The purebred open heifers are representatives of our cowherd that we feel will make outstanding replacements from pedigrees that we find work. The commercial heifers are managed the same, home raised and a few sourced from Ric Arthurs. All will be palpated to ensure breeding soundness.

We will be having a live video sale once again, DLMS will be onsite for online bidding so please familiarise yourself and sign up prior to the sale. Of course there is in person bidding or phone bid contacts or any of the sales staff will be happy to help. Cattle will be penned just outside the sale barn sale day, but feel free to tour the cattle anytime prior, just give us a call to discuss any questions you may have. Directions to the farm are 5 miles east of the Didsbury overpass off QE II on Highway 582, north side of the road. Check out the video links of our website www.lauronredangus. com or DLMS. Bulls can remain at the farm free of charge until May 1, $4 day feed charge thereafter. Any animals staying must be insured and Cheryl Brown Stockman’s Insurance will be on site.

Calving Ease Legend

”Calving Ease is related to factors including birth weight of the bull, gestation, nutrition, dam’s genetics and her management and environment. The Calving Ease score is our best estimate considering Actual BW, EPDs, structure of the bull and genetics.”

**** Likely to have a high level of calving ease.

*** Should be minimal problems for moderate size heifers.

** Recommended for second calvers or smaller framed cows 1100 -1300 lbs.

* Recommended for mature cows 1400 lbs. plus.

ELITE DAM The Canadian Angus Association’s ELITE DAM program is an effort to identify superior cows in the Angus breed based on early puberty, breeding, regularity of calving and above average performance of offspring.
