Another embryo calf from Focus on Profit. Wow! He has it all; explosive, very efficient gain. He has the highest ADG in the sale with a ratio of 143%, and is among the most feed efficient, with a ratio of 122%. The sticking point; he is not registered because he is an embryo calf from a donor cow (even though she is registered) that we failed to get “blood typed,” which is a hard rule of the AAA. That is why there are no EPD’s. Rest assured, however, that you won’t find a better bull in this sale, or anywhere else, to use on your commercial cows.

Residual Feed Intake (RFI) Ridgefield Farm utilizes a GrowSafe System to obtain actual feed intake data across a 70-day test period. 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). 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. Under our Bull Deal, we typically offer a premium of at least 6¢ per pound more than markets for similar cattle.
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.
