3.5 MILES SOUTH OF YUMA ON HWY. 59 at the ranch in Yuma, Colorado
Hello Friends!
Welcome to the new world of Higher, Higher, Higher as the late Evan Slack would say!
Sales are setting records all over and all weights. Now is the perfect time to look at your bull battery and ask yourself if they are fitting the mold from what the very best prices are bringing.
We test drive, so to speak, our major sires by entering some of the progeny in the feeding contest put on here by our local cattlemen’s association. That’s as real world as you can get, no guessing. At the end of the trial, weighed out and graded, there’s no opinion like in a show ring. This is where the rubber meets the road.
Over the years we’ve been doing this, we’ve done quite well – winning overall several times, winning the rate of gain portions and also winning the carcass portion as well. That’s a genuine contest, as some entrants are scouring sale lots looking to see if they can pluck out that one steer that might have a shot at the top prize.
If you aren’t confident that your bulls can deliver this kind of winning performance, we feel our program is doing that.
Look over our sale offering and see if we can improve your bull battery, your calf crop and hopefully your bottom line.
We’re looking forward to seeing you at our sale!
-Kenny Rogers,
for the entire crew here at the Wagon Wheel Ranch

40 PUREBRED OPEN ANGUS COMMERCIAL HEIFERS
The commercial Angus and F1 Polled Hereford cross baldy heifers have the same excellent genetics as the base of our cow herd. Calving ease, milking ability, easy fleshing ability, fertility, and excellent longevity in your herd. Carcass genetics and feeding performance is a mainstay of our herd. Weights will range from 650 - 800 pounds by sale day. These heifers are unbranded so that when you put yours on, it will be the first and only brand on them.
We sort these heifers into uniform groups of 10 head and when selling the buyers will have the chance to pick from 1 to 10 heifers. After the first selection, if any heifers remain in that pen, then the next opportunity will be to buy out of that draft for same money. If any remain after that, then the next winning bid cleans the ring.
We’ve also started them on their first round of prebreeding vaccinations For those of you who choose to go with a modified live vaccination, they were administered at the same time as their Bangs vaccination, a dose of Zoetis Bovishield Gold 5 VL5. This way if you choose to continue with that program during their lifetime it’s already started for you. We recommend that you continue with a vaccination schedule throughout these animals’ lifetime.
We are deeply committed to the over all health of our herd and strongly believe a good and proper vaccination program is the foundation to the health and vigor of the cows, calves and bulls which go through our ranch.
