Snedden Ranch Annual Bull Sale

Snedden Ranch ANNUAL BULL SALE

Quality Bulls From a Proven Cow herd

Friday, October 13, 2017 Offering 35 bulls Registered Hereford and Red Angus X Calving Ease

Dear Friends and fellow Cattle Producers, 2017 marks the 150th year of Sneddens ranching in Kern County, we feel that this year’s offering represents the qualities of that long term commitment to the cattle industry, and highlights the genetic progress made in the last 45 years since the inception of our registered herd. We would like to thank all of the cattlemen and women that have invested in Snedden Ranch bulls over the years, helping us to continue raising quality seedstock throughout the years. The success or failure of our genetics is not found in an EPD bar, but rather in the offspring of our bulls found across the mountains, valleys, and feedlots of the west. This year’s bull offering runs deep on quality. Each individual in the sale is tested and measured for a multitude of traits in order for you to have the ability to select for the things that are important to your operation. Beyond all of these measurable traits, these bulls are backed by a cowherd that is required to perform in often less than ideal range conditions. We have a strong belief that seed-stock cows should be asked to do at least as much as commercial cows on the same feed resources. We believe that cows should not have to be milked out, hooves should not have to be trimmed, and they should wean big strong calves every year with no creep feed, just like we all expect from our commercial cows. Our commitment to profitable, low maintenance commercial cattle is what drives us to produce bulls suitable for your cows, as well as ours.

As we were finishing weaning our commercial calves over the last couple weeks, we were able to see the commitment to these values in the heavy calves trailing out of steep mountain country.

For us to make it sound like we have it all mastered, or that we are at the pinnacle of genetic progress would be the height of arrogance, we make improvements every generation, sometimes that means breeding decisions and sometimes that means culling decisions. The years logged in genetic investment and evaluation, coupled with the natural selection provided by range conditions give Snedden Ranch bulls a marked advantage in the field.

This year we are offering something we have never done before. A pick of our 2016 born yearling heifers will be offered; you will see details of this on the pages that follow. This is a rare opportunity to invest in quality. The cowherd is our factory, and we feel that the practical, profitable traits abound in these females. The bulls are being grown out here at the ranch headquarters, the heifers are out on pasture here as well. We invite you to come see the cattle anytime before sale day. If you would like to see the dams of the bulls or heifers, make plans to come by before sale day as they are several miles away. We look forward to seeing you. Feel free to call anytime for more information.

Sincerely, The Sneddens
