Welcome

Thank you for taking the time to view our offering of Red Angus genetics that have been developed using our eastern Montana environment to sort out the sustainable traits that make a cow herd profitable. Throughout this catalog we have assembled information on this year’s offering that we feel is beneficial to aide you in sorting through the bulls and hopefully selecting the best genetics that will help you meet the goals of your operation. If there is additional information that we can provide that is not found within the catalog, please contact us so we may provide additional information to help you in your selections. Throughout the years of being involved in the Red Angus business, we have experienced a variety of environmental challenges that has changed how we operate our ranch, select our genetics and manage our time. 2023 was a year that brought new challenges along with opportunities to grow and adapt to the challenges that were presented to us. The challenges most of the time are out of our control such as: weather, parasites, labor and a whole host of others. No one is exempt from these challenges. We know that in 2024 we will be faced with a new set of challenges that will help us develop enhancements to our management practices. We continue to allow the environmental challenges to improve our genetics so that our business will remain financially sustainable through each trial that comes our way. Through these decisions, our goal is to develop genetics that will help our customers enhance their cowherd to be economically sustainable within whatever environment they are placed or developed in. The U.S. cattle industry has seen some record setting prices throughout all classes of cattle in the second half of 2023 and it appears that the current cattle inventory would support an extension of those prices into 2024 and maybe beyond. Within our region, we have seen a large number of cull cows hit the market from August until now which is a result of the lower pregnancy rates brought on by grasshoppers, stable flies, and hay produced in 2022 that was below the nutritional needs of the cattle being fed. Some producers saw anywhere from 15-65 percent open rates in both replacement heifers and cows. This reduction in cow numbers coupled with drought in parts of central and southern U.S. that reduced the cowherd even more will have an impact on our cattle markets going forward. As we put this sale offering together, the bulls will sell in catalog order. We begin the sale with a pen of high indexing moderate birthweight bulls and follow with a group of high indexing, low birthweight heifer bulls. After these first two pens we arrange the remaining pens by sire groups allowing for good bulls to be cataloged from the beginning to the end. Some pens will have a mix of one or more sires if there isn’t enough progeny from a sire group to fill a pen. We hope that as you view the bulls live, via video or within these pages you will find consistency in type and kind throughout. Additional information such as scrotal measurements and frame scores and carcass EPDs will be posted on our website as well as DV Auction as they become available. We look forward to meeting and visiting with new and existing customers that have a passion for the ranching lifestyle that we get to live every day. May God Richly Bless You, Bruce, Tena, Jaclyn Ketchum and Jeff, Cele, and Blaze Menees

BULL HEALTH PROGRAM

The bulls received Vision 7 at branding, preconditioned in August with Bovishield Gold One Shot and Vision 7 Somnus. The bulls were boostered with Bovishield Gold in October. They received a Fusogard injection in December and a booster in February. The bulls were drenched in November with Safe-Guard, poured with Justifly in November, StandGuard in December and Permectrin CDS in Febuary. Semen evaluations were performed by Fallon County Vet Service prior to the sale and all the evaluation forms will be available sale day. Bulls that do not pass the semen evaluation will be available for sale after they have a satisfactory evaluation.

BULL DEVELOPMENT

The bulls are fed on a ration to develop them into sound functional useable bulls that will work in every environment. The ration consists of rolled corn (7.5 lb. average), dry distiller’s (2.25 lbs.), and the balance of chopped hay that consists of grass, alfalfa, barley hay for a 48 mcal diet, along with a vitamin-mineral supplement. This ration is developed to use 1% of the feed base being grain to reach our goal of 2.5 lb. gain. They have been developed at Eric and Andrea Bowman’s feedlot which is located 1 mile south of Rhame, N.D.

SEMEN INTEREST

Milk Creek Reds is retaining one-half revenue-sharing semen interest in all bulls in the sale. The retained semen interest by Milk Creek Reds allows us to collect semen, use semen on the bull in our herd, as well as share in semen revenue if the bull would develop interest to be used in other herds or semen marketing companies. Any semen collection would be at the buyer’s convenience in the off-season use. Full possession and full salvage value sells on all bulls in this sale.

We continue to use Ridge Admiral in our AI sire lineup because of how his progeny perform in our enviroment. The bulls have been well received by our commercial as well as registered customers and the oldest females are now 9 years old and bringing in good calves while functioning very well in our enviroment. You will see some of his daughters bringing bulls to this offering and you will continue to see sons offered in future sales. When you study the numbers he is a bull that does well on all the indicies and yet has growth EPDs that are not what some people would say are ideal yet it is where we like it to be for the female to fit our eastern Montana enviroment. Owned with Sandbur Ridge Red Angus.

We have calved our 8th crop of daughters out of 4304 and are very pleased with their fleshing ability, moderate size, feet and leg structure, and calving ease. The 4304 daughters are the largest sire group in our cow herd because of the ability of this sire to produce higher performance with good caracass and leave the right size and kind of females in the herd. If you are looking for bulls that offer maternal, growth, and carcass traits look at the 4304 sons. The visitors that we have go through our cowherd usually pick out the 4304 daughters due to their appearance. They also are females that bring in above average calves in the fall of the year.

We found Copenhagen progeny at the U2 ranch in Canada 7 years ago while touring through their pastures viewing cattle. His daughters impressed us with their type and kind to a point that every cow we asked Joanne Unger about was a Copenhagen daughter. We viewed Copenhagen as an 8 year old bull and found him to be very sound and holding his condition. When U2 dispersed everyone else found the Copenhagen daughters as well and they were one of the highest selling sire groups in a record setting sale. Through the calving season, the Copenhagen daughters have nice udders and we look forward to what these cows are doing in our herd. We will only have ET calves from this sire from now on.

Fusion 5202 is a bull that the Lelands selected out of our 2016 sale. He has been a good calving ease bull for them and has provided both bulls and heifers that have been well reMLK CRK FUSION 5202 ceived by their customers. We have been pleased with the calving ease that he has provided after calving three sets of heifers bred to him but the nugget in these genetics is the females he produces. He has numbers that are very attractive to the industry, minus his growth EPDs, yet his growth numbers will allow his daughters to be able to thrive on less inputs which equates to a better profit margin for the cow/calf producer.

Foreman is a A.I. sire from 5L that we used the past 4 years because he has the pedigree and EPD profile that will fit in our program. We used him on both heifers and cows to get 5L FOREMAN 2174-370E a good test across our female base. His sons and daughters did well at weaning, yearling and ultrasound. We are currently calving the fourth set of heifers bred to him and the second set of daughters and like the results. We feel he is an outlier that offers more growth than we normally use yet his daughters are getting bred and staying in the herd with limited feed imputs.

After 3 trips to Canada studying the cow herd at U2 we came to the conclusion that we needed to sample a pedigree that worked multiple times in their program. We selected Money Talks out of their 2019 bull RED U2 MONEY TALKS 530F sale after studying the bull calves the previous fall as well as at the sale and studying the cows in the spring and fall. We used 530F on both heifers and cows A.I. and then turned him with 50 plus head of first-calf heifers for natural service and had only 3 opens. He has now recorded 256 progeny in four calving seasons and we are very pleased in the balance of birth, performance, carcass and phenotype. His second and 3rd calf heifers that are currently calving are displaying excellent udders and feet while being good mothers.

We begin the sale with an Ultra Kool son that has performed well from birth to a year of age. He is moderate framed, deep and thick. His performance is consistent with what his dark red Vigilante dam has done on her first three calves and his maternal pedigree stacks three cows still in production on the ranch with MPPAs of 105 or better. He also competes well in the marbling class, ratioing 125 against his contemporaries.

Lot 2 is closely related to Lot 1, descending from the same cow family and being sired by Ultra Kool. When you study his phenotype, his length, depth and thickness seem to standout. 3214’s dam has consistently produced above average performance and was the first cow to calve in 2024. She is an attractive, long, moderate framed cow with a beautiful udder. He also brings some carcass traits along ratioing at 139 for Marbling and 102 for Ribeye.

This Fusion son comes from a dam with a 101 MPPA and an average daily gain of 3.2lbs./ day. His actual birth weight combined with his moderate Calving Ease Maternal provides confidence that this bull will sire offspring that will calve out nicely while still having some later growth which is reflected by his Yearling Weight Ratio.

Lot 46 has three generations of cows on the maternal side of his pedigree that have strong production records as well as longevity. His dam is only 4 but the three generations before her all made it to at least 13 years of age or more. 3328’s production record has proved that he can hold his own within a large contemporary group of bulls.

3376 is closely related to CMK True North 3351. His mother is the daughter of Cele’s donor cow, continuing the long line of longevity, strong fertility and high performance. This larger frame bull has surpassed most of his contemporaries with ease. Quite impressive for being the last calf born.

2444z is a dark red, 6 frame cow that we bought as a bred heifer in the Crowfoot Cattle dispersion sale in 2013. She has earned her way within our herd posting a 103 MPPA on RED XO CROWFOOT LADY 2444Z 10 natural progeny and has excellent feet and udder. She has brought us some outcross genetics for us to use in our herd through daughters and granddaughters. We held her from being bred this past spring so that we could flush her and were pleased with her ability to average 12 number 1 embryos between the two flushes. She has been on rest since her last flush on 7/21/23 and sells open ready to flush.

Ranch Philosophy The cattle industry is constantly changing and feeders and packers seem to be the drivers in directing that change. Their ability to direct change is related to the concentration of ownership within these two segments of our industry. Both segments keep increasing the size of animal that they want to feed and harvest because of their efficiency of producing more pounds of beef per animal and reducing the costs by feeding and harvesting less head of cattle and leaving them within the feedlot for longer periods of time. What impacts their bottom line is diametrically opposed to what impacts the cow/calf producers bottom line. In our segment of the industry, most cow/calf producers raise cattle in an environment that has limitations to what it can produce hindering our ability to meet the changes without increasing input feed costs to sustain the larger, higher output cattle that the feeders and packers are looking for. Coupled with this the feed input costs has increased dramatically over the past four years compounding the problems to reach profitability within our segment of the industry. I am thankful that our Red Angus Association staff is working hard to educate the industry on the quality of Red Angus cattle and how they can reach all the requirements in the branded packer programs that have been set for Angus cattle. Through this effort, the USDA has recognized Red Angus as Angus so that they are able to qualify in all programs with the exception of CAB which is owned by the Angus Association. This education is going to take time to develop traction and will eventually open more marketing opportunities for our cattle. In the meantime, the industry is using excuses to discount red hided cattle so that they can add more profit to their segment of the industry. With the current cattle inventory, we are hopeful that the next three years will see above average feeder cattle demand which will diminish the ability for discounts because of hide color. We continue striving to produce cattle that will be able to thrive in a grass-based environment without any inputs other than salt, mineral and some hay when needed due to drought or severe winter conditions. When you study the genetics that we are using you might ask, why don’t you use higher growth sires to increase the weights of your calves? The answer lies in what we have discovered when we have attempted to do that very thing. Most sires that we have used to accomplish this, with exceptions of a few outliers, tend to produce females that have a higher percentage chance of failing to breed as yearlings or first-calf heifers because they have a higher energy requirement than what our natural environment can provide. That can become very expensive when you account for the time and dollars invested in developing those females to that stage. The sires that we are using will still push the envelop of producing offspring with performance that is limited by our environment on any given year because our weaning weights can fluctuate 50-100 pounds based on when and how much rain falls from the sky. We continue to search the breed for the outliers that will push the performance as well as carcass traits but will not give up the fertility and longevity developed within the herd which are the key profit drivers for any cow-calf operation.
