On behalf of the entire crew at Allen Brothers Cattle, we welcome you to our 3rd Annual Spring Bull and Female Sale on March 4th, 2025 . What an exciting time to be in the cattle business! Optimism is off the charts, with all-time high cattle prices . Like most of you, our sole income and livelihood revolves around our cattle . We firmly believe that our genetics will make you more profitable We have tested our genetics from conception all the way to the rail in our large commercial sector of our cowherd Our balanced breeding program ensures that the cattle will make you more money We strive to make them better with every generation, regardless of what is “trendy” or “popular” in the business We would like to thank each and every one who has trusted in our brand and we are humbled by your incredible support
For the first time ever, we will be offering 20 head of the best registered Angus and Sim Angus replacement heifers that will sell anywhere in the nation! Many of these heifers are the best of the best, straight out of our embryo program We have held nothing back . Don’t miss out because we have dug deep for our first ever female offering . Several choice lots of ET heifers will be offered in pairs, where you will pick your favorite heifer and we will retain the other This will allow us to keep building our cowherd, while allowing you a chance at the best Make the trip to North Powder to see our female offering You won’t be disappointed!
This year’s bull offering will be the largest to date, filled with quality from front to back These bulls are backed by the same great cow families as years past which are focused on fertility, longevity, foot and udder quality and performance Our breeding philosophy does not waver and we will never breed to the “bull of the month” We try to go see the bulls that we use when possible and the dams behind them Just this past November, we toured 1,500 miles from North Dakota to Tennessee stopping by every registered outfit or bull stud along the way in search of the right bulls to use for our customers That is the commitment we have made to our commercial bull buyers We develop our bulls in large pens where they get plenty of exercise and are developed on a high roughage ration . The easiest way to ruin a bull is by feeding them too hard . Our bulls are big middled and have aggressive appetites . They can convert a lower quality feed to pounds because of the way they are bred . Similarly, their mothers will thrive on low quality dry feed that covers the majority of the West Many people are shocked when they find out what ration our bulls are fed and how good they look When you turn out an Allen Brothers bull this spring, they will be athletic and ready to cover cows in big country We have had numerous customers tell us that our bulls hold up better than anything they have ever ran
We are excited to have you all here to evaluate our power-packed sale offering If you can’t make it to the sale, feel free to make arrangements to come appraise the offering at any time prior, that is convenient for you We welcome visitors to the ranch year-round If you are unable to attend, you will be able to watch or bid live on www dvauction com Justin (541-962-5154) and Logan (541-5190668) will also be available on sale day to take orders along with the sale staff We would like to thank each and every one of you that has put your trust in our program over the years .

Introducing the bull that we have deemed Lot 1, ABC Milepost 4826 We flew to Illinois to see his dam, Musgrave Prim Lassie 329 when she sold for an astounding $178,000 valuation . She is the highest selling female in the history of Musgrave Angus We knew that we needed to incorporate her genetics here at Allen Brothers Cattle, and her progeny absolutely did not disappoint Milepost is loaded with muscle, foot size, quality, bone, balance, and performance! He was one of the highest performing bulls in the entire sale, weaning off at 809 pounds and 1396 at a year . We are selling choice of his flush sisters as lots 102A & 102B A full brother just sold this spring at Weigel Angus Ranch for $20,000 1
This is one of the most intriguing bulls to sell yet out of the famed Prim Lassie 329 cow that now has progeny popping up all over the nation It is extremely rare for a bull calf born at 69 pounds to turn into this kind of a phenotypic powerhouse! Yeti is a freak of nature He reeks of red meat from head to tail The foot quality throughout this entire flush of heifers and bulls is as strong as we have seen . Yeti excels for $M and Claw ranking him in the top 3% of the breed in both categories If you want to see the kind of females he will leave, take note of the phenomenal trio of flush sisters
ABC Backcountry 2795 - Sire of Lot 6
Miss Yardley E66 - Maternal Granddam of Lot 6
ABC On the Map 4009 represents our first calf crop of Backcountry He has the kind of lower stifle that you rarely see in an Angus bull The Backcountry calves have exceeded our expectations in every way, being the favorite sire group of many visitors to the ranch this summer They are awesome footed, strong topped, attractive fronted, with a huge bulging hind quarter Our favorite 2 year old that freshened this past year was a full sister to Backcountry Plan to keep every daughter of this bull
Much like the rest of the Backcountry calves, Prime Country is loaded with eye appeal, style, muscle shape, foot quality, and calving ease . He represents everything that we look for in an Angus bull He ratioed 108 at weaning at a scale crushing 800 pounds off of a beautifully designed 2 year old His dam bred back first straw AI while nursing her first calf, and she is a favorite of the 2000 model cows

Overview
Welcome to the Allen Brothers Cattle Angus and SimAngus Bull Sale
I think you will agree that the Allen family has produced another excellent set of bulls for your consideration . As their consulting nutritionist, I strive to develop optimal nutrition and management programs to express the genetic potential of the Allen Brothers Cattle seedstock while giving special attention to safeguarding soundness and reproductive longevity
Nutritional Philosophy
The nutritional treatment of breeding stock from conception to first breeding can have a profound effect on their lifetime potential . In fact, nutritional influences on future health and productivity have been traced as far back as early embryonic development; a concept termed “fetal programming ” Therefore, we focus not only on the nutrient requirements of the cow throughout her production cycle, but also on the nutritional factors that affect gene expression of economically important traits in the developing calf . From conception to turnout, we strive to express the genetic potential of the cattle without compromising structural soundness and breeding performance
Bull Development
We believe in the concept of developing bulls, not finishing them Therefore, we focus on providing optimum energy and protein levels to achieve desired lean gain growth targets To this end, the Allen Brothers Cattle bulls were developed on a high-roughage, moderateenergy, high-protein diet . Particular attention was given to proper vitamin and mineral supplementation to promote reproductive development and longevity We think that you will agree that our nutritional philosophy has produced an exceptional set of fertile bulls that are ready to go to work for you Buy with confidence!

Dear Northwest Cattlemen,

They also utilize these same genetics in their large commercial cowherd as well Prime Pursuits has bought the last two groups of steers, totaling 470 head THE DATA LOOKS GOOD! 92% CHOICE AND PRIME and YG 3. This program does not select on carcass traits alone, they must have balance, productivity and longevity first and foremost . With that said, they have shown with the above feedback from a heavy player in our industry, that they will make money in the feedlot and on the rail as well!
Justin and Logan Allen are not only extremely good young cattlemen but they are thoughtful and diligent about their program . They have assembled an impressive donor battery and herd sire lineup They continually scout the country looking for the best A I and flush sires, as well to use, to keep breeding the kind of cattle that will keep you in business for the long haul The cattle are run just like most Northwest commercial operations They have an extremely disciplined approach to beef production and it shows when you lay your eyes on what these two young and aggressive cattlemen are putting out for the public
Something new this year that has gotten me excited is that we are offering some of the top young females right off the top of the replacement pen These are no ordinary heifers, they are exceptional in quality from some of the top cow families in the country You will be excited when you see them in person!
We are again on dvauction com in partnership with Western Video Market .
