A NOTE FROM RPI PROMOTIONS
Cattlemen, Although we have seen a good number of heifers being sold through the auction markets and moving out of the country, we believe this will slow down some. The majority of the area that was in dire need for moisture picked up some wet, heavy snow. This has since melted and should give us a start for some green grass. As of late, the bull sales that we have attended have shown an increase of cattlemen making solid purchases on calving ease bulls. This was not the trend in the earlier bull sales that we attended. As we get into the months of April and May there are a number of sales that have basically a 50/50 mix of calving ease and performance bulls. There are still many seedstock programs that offer a great selection and variety of outstanding bulls. As you look through the programs that are in this months issue, you will see years and years of testing and genetics that are behind the bulls selling. We invite you to give them a call for help with your herd bull purchases. With the region being very cold and windy for the majority of the winter, it is a must to schedule your vet to semen test your herd bulls. Let us know if we can help in the remaining months of the bull sale season. We will be traveling the country looking at cattle and attending livestock sales. We would be glad to help. Although this is our final Cattlemen’s Invite until November 2018, we can still help with any livestock promotion you might need. We have direct mail ideas through newsletters and postcards, and on-line capabilities that can reach cattlemen in your area. Thanks for your Friendship, Trust and Support!

• Sonic is a young proven choice to produce sons that meet the needs of the beef industry. He was the $38,000 top selling bull in the 2015 Lewis Brothers Sale from Grandview Angus of South Dakota. • Sonic posted exceptional individual performance records as a heifer’s first calf with a birth weight of 72 pounds, an adjusted 205 day weight of 877 pounds for a weaning weight ratio of 113. He also posts an adjusted 365 day weight of 1,496 pounds for a yearling ratio of 111, with an IMF ratio of 113 and an adjusted 365 day ultrasound ribeye area measure of 15.6 square inches for a URE ratio of 110. • Sonic progeny has a 13 herd birth weight ratio of 95, a 14 herd weaning weight ratio of 104, a six herd yearling weight ratio of 103, and a five herd IMF ratio of 103. • A Sonic son topped the 2017 sale for Grandview Angus, at $52,500. As of this writing he records the number one weaning weight EPD among all non-parent Angus bulls with a birth weight EPD that is breed average or less. • Genomic excellence, phenotypic excellence, and sons that come to the top of the Angus population.
Consider Breeding to a Great One!
