SALE DETAILS
Our family has been raising both commercial and seedstock cattle since 1895 and have been feeding cattle and getting carcass data since 1980 — giving us first-hand knowledge of the needs of each segment. Carcass premiums are valuable and important, but they cannot overcome financial losses caused by fertility failures in the cowherd or feet failures of offspring. Efficiency has a huge impact on profitability. That is why we are now two generations deep in the collection of dry matter intake (DMI) data to select for improved feed efficiency. In this catalog, we are introducing a new FERTILITY metric (FERT) that predicts differences in cows’ lifetime production. We have been using the $Ranch Index for years to select for better females. We believe these tools will play an important part in producing Angus cattle improve customer profits. We are very proud of the AAA for the efforts they are investing to develop a new EPD for cow fertility and look forward to seeing those results and using them as an additional tool to select more profitable cattle.

It is amazing to think back only 15 years ago when the industry struggled to achieve 52% Choice and 3% Prime. Today the industry average is over 80% choice and prime combined. I have focused on producing high-quality beef for decades and have 16 years of carcass data from our structured carcass progeny test. Last year they graded 63% PRIME — seven times the national average! Angus deserves much of the credit for the increase in demand driven by improved marbling. I plan to continue pursing high marbling cattle. However, R.A. Brown Ranch is a different Angus program for all the right reasons. We strive to produce Angus cattle that are born easily, grow fast to a strong carcass weight, yet maintain a conservative mature size while converting feed and forage very efficiently with amazing fertility, feet, and phenotype. Looking forward, we are more confident than ever before the future belongs to genetics that do the most things right.

Dear Friends, I am more excited about the cattle business and especially the Angus breed than ever before. We have more knowledge, tools, and technology available to identify and multiply better Angus cattle than ever before. As a result, elite females have become more and more important in our ability to make faster genetic progress. Our family started selling Angus bulls 127 years ago. Today the seventh generation is part of our family business at R.A. Brown Ranch producing seedstock designed to improve your profitability and sustainability in the cattle business.

The effect of most traits on profit is fairly simple to understand. Here is the list of what is included and its contribution toward profit:
$Profit understands the concept of diminishing returns! Some traits’ impact on profit are not so easily characterized. Milk and cow size, for example, are good things until you get too much, then they increase the cow’s nutritional requirements beyond the environment’s capacity. This outcome often results in a negative effect on fertility that is greater than its positive effect on weaning weight. This outcome often results in a negative effect on fertility that is greater than it’s positive effect on weaning weight. This ability to seek optimal levels of traits is a more recent development in selection index science that is used in $Profit and $Ranch.

Once I asked a well known commercial rancher what he expected or hoped for from his seedstock supplier.

For a cow that is just entering the prime of her productive life, 764E has already built an impressive resume. In the last two R.A. Brown Ranch Angus bull sales, she had two $13,000 sons as well as a lead-off bull to her credit. She lives up to her strong Fertility EPD by maintaining a 363 day calving interval and progeny ratios of: 103 weaning, 108 yearling and 113 IMF. We anticipate her Fertility EPD is going to provide a big positive push to both $Ranch and $Profit once it’s incorporated into those indexes.

Her reliable dam has built a 104 average progeny weaning ratio as a 4-year-old. She was exposed to two natural service sires and preg checked due in March with a bull calf as indicated. Parent verification will be required to determine the sire, but the good news is you win either way; just study the projected calf EPDs that are shown above for both sires. There is nothing wrong with running cows like your commercial customers and that’s how they all do it.

Donnell’s grandad helped found the AQHA, and his dad, R.A. “Rob” Brown served as its President in 1995. In 1998 R.A. Brown Ranch was awarded the “Best Remuda” Award by AQHA/NCBA in recognition of their outstanding cow horses. That legacy created by our founding generations is part of every horse, bull and female we sell.
