This year, we are very pleased with the quality of bulls we have on offer. We feel we have some of the best yearling bulls we have offered at sale to date and are looking forward to being able to show them off.

As is our tradition, we are featuring sons of our home-raised bulls, with the addition of a few sired by prominent industry AI sires.

Over the summer, our bull calves and their mothers run on native pasture and then fall-grazed on our hay fields until weaning. The bull calves were weaned a bit early this year in mid October. From there, they have been reared over the winter on a strictly oat and hay ration in a five acre field where they can get plenty of exercise.

We make extensive use of performance and measurement tools in our herd, and now have over 60 continuous years of individual animal and herd performance records. Over the past few years, we have made extensive uses of genomics and ultrasound. In addition, we score and record a range of objective production traits. One trait that we have been tracking is calf vigor. For our home-raised bulls, we have selected those that we scored with above average vigor at calving, and we are seeing a significant improvements in the resulting calves they sire.

We have noted the bulls in this year’s offering that scored above average for vigor. All the bulls in the offering this year are Homozygous Polled. From all our family, we would like to express our sincere appreciation for everyone who has taken an interest in our cattle over the years. We appreciate their support and wish them continued success.

Kingsley may just be the best we have raised. He takes after his sire, Forward 7G - he is thick-made curve-bender with a modest birth weight, extra vigor at birth, and explosive growth. On the maternal side, he is the result of combining two of our top cow families. Upscale’s mother, Brittany 20C, is our lead donor cow and Kingsley’s mother is a maternal sister to Upscale 35H. Nice set of balanced EPD’s with growth EPD’s in the top 10%. He is proud-made, easy moving, great feet and legs, short-marked redneck and has full eye pigment around his left eye. We have retained both his maternal sisters in our herd. Forward 7G’s daughters have done very well at fall shows for Alta Cedar and ourselves, and his first daughters will have calved-out by sale time. Retaining an in-herd semen interest.
