Dear Fellow Cattle Producer,
Thank you for attending the 2025 EBS Farms Select Sale. We appreciate your support of our program over the years and are excited to bring you this set of bulls and females from EBS Farms and our other consignors. Our goal has always been to offer you bulls and females that will produce high-quality, fast-growing feeder calves and replacement quality females. We believe the bulls and females represented in this sale can help you accomplish that and more.
All EPDs are correct as of November 25, 2024. Any EPD changes are available on the American Angus Association web page. The majority of the bulls offered in this year’s sale have been tested with an Angus genetic DNA test, providing genomic-enhanced expected progeny differences (GE-EPDs). The DNA information, when combined with Angus EPDs, provides the most accurate and complete picture of the animal’s genetic potential. All the cattle in this sale have been vaccinated with modified live vaccines according to BQA guidelines. The cattle will have USDA approved identification ear tags in addition to lot tags, tattoos, and/or brands.
Again this year, the sale will be available online through DV Auction for online bidding. Videos of all sale bulls and several of the females will be available prior to the sale. Bulls are also available to be viewed prior to the sale at EBS Farms. If you have any questions about viewing the bulls or using the online platform, please give us a call.
We appreciate all of our customers, past and present, and will do all that we can to assist you before and after the sale. We look forward to seeing everyone on January 4th in Norwood!
This past Summer EBS MISS DIAMOND 070R-422, an October 2023 daughter of Connealy Craftsman, won Reserve Grand Champion Phenotype and Genotype female at the 2024 Eastern Regional Junior Angus Show in Harrisburg, PA. This heifer not only looks good but excels on paper with all of her $Values in the top 10% or better. You will find bulls and females throughout the sale that follow this same philosophy, breeding for both excellent genetics on paper and in person.
Congratulations Maddie Carpenter!
JANUARY 4, 2025 | 12:00 NOON EST
Selling 63 bulls, 45 open heifers, 65 bred heifers, and 15 bred cows & cow/calf pairs.

EPDs are current as of November 25, 2024. Updated EPDs can be viewed at www.angus.org for Angus animals or the respective breed association website for the other breeds. Most of the bulls and several females have had a genomic test performed on a DNA sample and are noted with a GE-EPD symbol on their pedigree. Cattle that were potential carriers of genetic defects were tested and any carriers are so noted.
All bulls have passed a Breeding Soundness Exam and are guaranteed breeders for the first breeding season or for 6 months after the sale. Bulls are not guaranteed to pass additional BSE after breeding your cows because of environmental conditions beyond our control. All heifers are guaranteed breeders. Satisfactory adjustments will be made should any animal fail to be a breeder. This guarantee does not cover injury, death, or neglect.
Load out will be after the conclusion of the sale. Every effort will be made to get your cattle loaded as soon as possible. There will be delivery assistance available if needed. Please make arrangements with Bruce or Marcus to leave your purchases in the barn until Sunday if needed. Hay and water will be provided free of charge.
