Welcome Welcome everyone to our 2014 Bull Sale. We would like to thank all our customers, past, present and future, for their interest in our program.

Our Bulls Our bulls are the top end of the 2012 calf crop with none sold off. They have had nothing but grass or hay and silage until this last few months. Since January they have received no more than 8lbs of barley and they are not burned out and the feet will last!

Our Program Lets talk about what makes a Vee Tee Angus different from other purebred programs. 30 years of feed lot and commercial cow business has shown us that these points are what makes money.

Increase Profit Not Production Vee Tee bulls possess the genetics for early rapid growth without that undesirable extended growth curve. But there are other reasons to use our bulls.

Most ranchers are still programmed to believe the myth that the only way to increase profit is to increase production, usually through heavier weaning weights. Many seed stock producers have perpetuated the “profit through higher production myth” by promoting the huge weaning and yearling weights of their bulls. Unfortunately, production increases don’t always translate into increased profit and the two are usually antagonistic. Cattlemen need to start thinking in terms of profit per cow instead of pounds per calf. Where costs are documented, the ideal weaning weight still ranges from 500 to 600 pounds--anything over that is usually at the expense of net profit. If a commercial producer is trying to reduce production costs and is keeping replacement females, it doesn’t make sense to purchase bulls from a herd that is strictly production oriented. The Vee Tee bull is unique in his ability to sire daughters that are functional in a forage based, least cost environment while maintaining profitable performance in their calves.

What About Carcass?

Selection for carcass genetics must be a balancing act between marbling, external fat cover and percent retail product. An overemphasis on marbling can result in cattle with inadequate muscling. A positive percent retail product EPD is equally if not more important than marbling. Most of the Vee Tee herd sires possess carcass EPDs that reflect a balance of the carcass traits. We have analyzed carcass data on many groups of cattle sired by our bulls. Despite being heavier muscled, higher volume type cattle, steers sired by our bulls typically display below average fat cover, an above average marbling score and superior cutability (percent retail product). We have observed that while our bulls are noted for their ability to sire improved fleshing ability on forage, this does not translate into overfat carcasses.

Robert at Diamond 7 Meats says,“best carcass he has ever seen”.

What About Size?

The debate over the ideal cow size will probably never be settled, especially in purebred circles. While some people still like added frame, we have selected cattle so the steers reach the first 1150-1200 pounds as quickly and cheaply as possible and the females don’t end up maturing into excessive sized cows. A typical Vee Tee cow run under our conditions matures at 1250-1400 pounds and when we compare cow production to cow size, our smaller cows are usually the most profitable.

Looking Good Has It’s Rewards Our cattle have a unique and attractive phenotype.

While one cannot breed for looks alone, a review of successful purebred and commercial cattle sales reveals that as long as the other required selling elements are in place, an attractive phenotype is an economic factor. Cattle that are aesthetically pleasing simply bring more money.

ABOUT THE SIRES O C C WORKABULL 619W 619W is a full brother to Ohlde’s herd sire O C C PROTOTYPE 847P. This is the second set of bulls and they are just as stout and thick as last year. They will calf easy and the daughters are perfect.

HILLFIRE LEGACY 422P Amazing son of Legacy. High seller at Bowerman 2006 Bull Sale for 15,000. Truly the ideal beef bull.

Daughters are beautifully udder and correct. Calves are thick and fast growing. When people see him they are blown away. Using him on the Muscle Man daughters or other non-Legacy daughters makes perfect cattle.

OCC STOCKY 753S What can we say about this bull but PHENOMINAL! John and I saw this bull in Kansas in 2008 and I wanted him, bad. Tim Ohlde was reluctant to sell him, but he did. Thank God. Every time I see him his depth, width and muscle make me smile. Mixed with Legacy daughters these progeny are jaw dropping.

AR NEW LOOK 9073 345 “Duff ” was purchased with Bowermann’s and Hillfire Angus from Power Plus Genetics Bull Sale in Hobart, Oklahoma. He was the deepest, thickest, most correct bull in the pen. Very pleased with his calves.

BULL SALE

ABOUT VEE TEE ANGUS The Vee Tee program began with a commitment to producing low birth, strong maternal, cost efficient performance cattle that are easy fleshing and require minimum maintenance while working in a forage based environment. Our appreciation for this type of cattle evolved over time and the years of working with large numbers of cattle of several breeds gave us the practical insight into the type of cattle needed to meet our goals.

At Vee Tee Angus, balanced multiple trait selection has always been the cornerstone of our breeding philosophy. Most cattlemen today would admit that single trait selection has caused more problems than it’s solved. One need only look at the recent past to see how an overemphasis on frame and growth resulted in excessively large framed, high maintenance cattle that were not practical or profitable. Despite this awareness, true multiple trait selection is often done in name only--witness the number of people who use only milk EPDs when talking about maternal traits or marbling EPDs when discussing carcass sires.

We believe that cattle breeding is an art. There remain essential cow herd traits not addressed directly by performance testing and EPDs that Vee Tee Angus must have. These traits include fleshing ability on forage, capacity, excellent udder quality, a gentle disposition and structural correctness. Mere buzz words you say? Traits that are hard to define and quantify can still be real. When differences exist between cattle, no matter how subtle, selection pressure can be applied to those differences. Maybe that’s where the “art” of cattle breeding comes into play.

Making progress through multiple trait selection can be a slow process but our long term devotion to that process has resulted in cattle that we believe are unique. At Vee Tee Angus, maternal is more than just milk, carcass means more than marbling and performance is more than just pounds.

Many cattlemen, commercial and seedstock producer alike, are finding themselves at a crossroads with their cow herds. Years of breeding for increased production or using too many highly promoted, unproven bulls has resulted in cattle that are--and let’s be frank here--big, bad and ugly.

Vee Tee Angus is one of the few programs truly equipped to address this problem. While remaining solidly performance based, our unique herd bull battery is also designed to moderate size, add muscle, improve structural soundness and fleshing ability and improve udder quality while maintaining profitable production levels. Put simply, the Vee Tee program is going beyond performance.

BREEDING GUARANTEE All cattle are sound and right and sell with a “Responsible Breeders Guarantee”.

Our bulls are guaranteed to be structurally sound and to have passed a semen test prior to sale day. We guarantee satisfaction or we will replace the bull with one of equal value. Should this not be possible, an adjustment will be made to reflect the value of the bull in question or a credit will be given towards the purchase of another bull.
