Greetings

Cattlemen!

In spite of a very cold start to 2018 the year has treated us well with plenty of grass and another exciting calf crop we are looking forward to sharing with you on January 12, 2019 at our 3rd Annual Bull Sale. This year our calves are by sires we’ve used in the past; sires that have not disappointed. Although our bull power hasn’t seen much change we decided to add a couple of new donor cows to our ET program, producing progeny that’s exceeding our expectations! We know our customers are some of the best managers in this business and you deserve the very best we have to offer. After ruthless culling, only the top end of our bull crop make it into the sale. Our goal is to offer you genetics that will help make your operation more profitable, bulls with structural soundness, bone and muscle that will hold up to every breeding condition. As calves, these bulls aren’t given any special treatment, they are not creep fed. After we wean, the bulls are fed a high fiber pellet along with willow creek wheat hay. We have worked very closely with our nutritionist to develop properly conditioned and highly fertile bulls. On this complete dry ration the bulls should grow and not get fat. We want to sell you bulls with longeviety, allowing you to utilize your herd sire for years. We are in the business of customer service. Not only just around sale time but also when the bulls are at home working in your pastures. In an effort to build long term relationships with our customers we are offering our personal guarantee with them. We stand behind every bull that leaves our ranch for one breeding season. If for some reason you are not satisfied with your purchase during the first breeding season, we want to be the first to know. Prior to delivery the bulls will be given a complete breeding soundness exam by Drs. Jay and Brandi Hudson. Prior to the sale the bulls will be carcass ultrasounded with the data available just before the sale. If you live in Wyoming or surrounding states we will deliver your bull(s) for free, beginning April 1, 2019. Our business is built with repeat customers. This year we are thanking those repeat customers by offering $500 off of their total invoice if they bring a new customer to the sale or refer a new customer to us. If you’re in the area before the sale please stop by to look at the bulls or head over to our website where you can view videos of all the bulls in the sale. If you have questions about our program or just need more information please call us or go to our website, www.raftertangus.com. Thanks for taking the time to consider our program. We greatly appreciate your confidence in our program and look forward to visiting with you on sale day!

test to their appreciate the dedication they hav e to bettering their industry and ng they can to protect their custom ers. We are honored heir program! FROM OUR VETERINARIAN TEAM Once again, we are honored to work alongside Rafter T with their “top of the line” cattle. In addition to their dedicated husbandry, this family stands out, because of their desire to give you the best. Kale and Kim incorporate advanced reproductive techniques in their herd in order to multiply their most powerful genetics and make them available to you. They are successful with in-vitro fertilization and embryo transfer, taking multiple oocytes from their best cows and fertilizing them with their choice bulls. In this way you get not one offspring from the best mating, but several in the same year. Success in this area attests to the quality of care and attention to detail this operation upholds. - Drs.

BULL FEED RATION Rafter T Angus Bull feed is a customized protein and nutrient dense pellet designed to develop superior frame and muscling while building strong feet and legs. The feed contains accelerated levels of vitamin and organic trace mineral fortification targeting enhanced fertility, immunity and bone/joint development in fast maturing Rafter T Bulls. Our focus is to optimize nutrition to prevent over conditioning that leads to bulls ‘falling apart’ on grass. The overall feeding concept at Rafter T is to grow solid performance driven bulls at peak genetic capacity and deliver them to your door ready to go to work in any conditions.

“

Our first breeding season using only Rafter T bulls on yearling heifers left us highly satisfied; the bulls settled the majority of the heifers first cycle and came out sound and looking good. We’re eager to see how their calves perform, and intend to use Rafter T bulls again in 2019. - Joe and Amity Kissack

Customer Confidence

“

in the brand!

I’m definitely a Rafter T fan and will be for years to come. They have good genetics and stand behind their bulls. I’ve had a couple get crippled over the years and they have always replaced them with as good, if not better quality. They seem to care about my herd getting better. I AI’d some first time heifers to their Joe Hero bull and didn’t pull one calf. They weaned over 625. It’s been a pleasure doing business with them and I plan to continue.

“

We have used several Angus AI sires over the years, mostly on heifers. I believe your bull, “Joe Hero” ranks up with the best. His progeny are right in the very top end of our calf crop, by this I mean they have very good width, depth and length. The steers, born in March, weaned in the mid-600’s and the heifers look to be the perfectly made females for our country. Also Joe Hero’s calves are born with zero assistance! - Dave Hoyt
