Thank you for your interest in our cattle operation, and specifically in the bulls in our sale.
A year ago we had a full blown blizzard on sale day. Many people could not make it to the sale. But we had a good sale anyway. Our loyal customers are to be thanked for bidding in person, on the phone, and online to make the sale happen. Our thanks to our friends and neighbors for roughing the storm to help us get the bulls pushed through and help in the office. This kind of help cannot be bought.
This is a real good set of bulls. They have been developed out on pasture and fed in a way where they should be sound and be able to do their job.
If we can assist you in any way don’t hesitate to reach out to us.
Thanks again for your support. The Copeland & Sons Family
JCS PAP TEST GUARANTEE
We guarantee all bulls will pass a PAP test for those living in high altitudes. Buyer can take these bulls home to altitude and wait 30 days. That should be time enough to get an accurate pap test. Get the bull tested, if the bull fails, we will come get the bull and refund the purchase price.
The slaughter bull market has been tremendous and many bulls are bringing 3,000 dollars and much more. There has never been a time when trading up to a new young bull has been this easy.
The old time ranchers have always said a new bull is worth 5 steer calves, and then he is paid for in the first year.
With this formula, 5 steers times $1,800 is $9,000 dollars that can be spent on a new bull.
$9,000 for the new bull minus $3,000 salvage on the old one makes your actual purchase only $6,000 dollars.
$6,000 dollars divided by 5 years you own the bull is $1,200 a year to use the bull.
That does not include all of the genetic merit you have purchased with the bull that should increase weaning weights, increase the kind of replacement heifers he produces that also adds lots of dollars to your bottom line.
Dale Woerner and his team at Texas Tech university have developed 3D technology that looks at muscle shape, width, and dimension to give a more accurate reflection of total red meat yield versus using Rib eye area
Rib eye area measurements and red meat yield are actually drifting more apart according to Texas Tech.
The system we use now is from the 1960s era.
So to make a long story short, MUSCLE MATTERS. Cattle with visual muscle shape may be worth a lot more , perhaps as soon as 3 to 5 years.
THESE ARE THE KIND OF CATTLE WE LIKE AND HAVE BEEN RAISING FOR YEARS.
So buying bulls with width and muscle shape could benefit your bottom line in a few years because you have started ahead of the pack.
