Ridgefield Bull Deal It’s simple. You buy our bulls. We buy your calves.
The Ridgefield Bull Deal pays a premium to customers with qualifying genetics for their calves, which assures us of a ready supply of high quality feeder calves for Brasstown Beef.® These calves must work in every phase of the operation – from the day we get them until the customer enjoys our beef. For commercial cattlemen with the right kind of cows, we provide a written contract with a guarantee to purchase, at a premium ranging from $6/cwt. to $9/cwt., your calves sired by our bulls. As a participant, you will save on shrink, commissions and transportation; avoid color discrimination; and receive feeding and carcass data. For more information on the Ridgefield Bull Deal, view the agreement at www.ridgefieldfarm.net.

EPDs and Supplemental Information All cattle data, EPDs and supplemental information were correct when the sale catalog was published. Additional information on each lot will be provided as a supplement on www.ridgefieldfarm.net by April 12 and in print on sale day. Braunvieh EPDs are calculated using the Multibreed Evaluation Model with Angus as the standard base.
Breed Average EPDs Breed averages listed below for a comparison of individual sale animal EPDs to breed at large EPDs. Angus BW WW +1.7 +46
YW +85
Milk +23
Braunvieh & BraunAngus BW WW YW Milk +2.7 +40.6 +63.2 +34.4
Residual Feed Intake (RFI) RFI is the difference between actual intake and expected intake (calculated based upon the age, size, gain and sex of a given animal utilizing academically accepted metabolic formulas). Ridgefield Farm utilizes a GrowSafe System to obtain actual feed intake data across a 70-day test period. The data is calculated by Dr. Gary Hansen of NC State University. Cattle consuming less than expected feed are given negative values and those consuming more than expected are given positive values. The RFI data is then used in connection with the current cost of feed to calculate the actual increase or decrease in the cost of feed for each animal during the testing period.
In studies conducted by the University of West Virginia and the University of Missouri, heifers were retained from low RFI bulls for two successive generations. Both studies found that these low RFI sired females provided a significant opportunity to increase stocking rates from 12% in lactating cows to 20% for dry ones. Imagine being able to increase your calf crop by a minimum of 12% from the same land. Perhaps the best news is that long term studies have found no antagonisms to other traits. The Ridgefield Farm Profitability Index ($, $$, $$$) Additional Premiums per pound for “Bull Deal calves”-$=.01; $$=.02, $$$=.03. See Bull Deal contract for additional information and qualifications. Dr. Joe Cassady, NC State University, helped us develop an index to evaluate the potential of a bull for producing progeny that optimize profitability. The index takes into account ADG, RFI, REA, IMF and Adj. YW of the bull, coupled with the current cost of feed and premiums/deductions for Yield Grade and Quality Grade. Admitedly, since Brasstown Beef is a premium brand, we give more weight to quality grade (IMF), and to REA, than is typically available in the market place. Our customers expect to see a choice product; and since we don’t import lean trim to mix with excess carcass fat, we can’t afford to have high yield grade calves, either. Under our Bull Deal, we typically offer a premium of at least $.06 per pound more than markets for similar cattle; however, we pay even more for the calves sired by bulls with higher profitability indexes.
Terms & Conditions Terms of the sale are cash or check with proper identification; settlement must be made sale day and/or before sale cattle are released to buyers. Every lot will be sold to the highest bidder, with the auctioneer settling any bidding disputes.
Guarantees The cattle sold in this sale are guaranteed to be free of genetic defects as outlined in the Braunvieh Association of America and the American Angus Association Approved Sale Rules and Regulations.
Registrations All cattle in the sale are registered, unless listed as commercial. A Certificate of Registry and Transfer will be provided on every live animal lot at no cost to the buyer as soon as practical after the sale.
Cattle Health The Ridgefield Farm herd is a Certified Level 1 Johne’s free herd. All bulls have tested negative for BVD-PI and are virgins. They have passed breeding soundness exams including semen tests. Health certification for interstate travel will be available on all lots immediately following the sale.

This moderate-framed, thick-bodied, unregistered BraunAngus calf, sired by RF Bennett Coalition 6610, is feed efficient (-1.46) and has a great look to him. He was essentially an only child and was slow adjusting to a crowd, but did quite well after a month or so.
