This is a bull out of a very attractive made cow. She has a perfect udder, while still milking an ample amount, and she has a stud calf on her again this year. We love a data/good momma cow combination.

This will be an excellent pick.

The Greatest Honor In The Cattle Industry

This time of year always brings about a time for reflection. For my family it marks the 73rd year in the business that we love/live everyday and boy it has been journey.

In the past year we have had visitors from all over the United States, Scotland, France, Australia, South America, and Sri Lanka. It has been a heck of a ride and I would like to say thank you to all visitors that have made Byergo Angus a destination, but this is not the honor I’m talking about.

THE GREATEST HONOR IN THE CATTLE BUSINESS IS SELLING A BULL TO ONE OF YOUR NEIGHBORS!

Nothing brings us greater honor or humbles us more than selling a bull to the gentleman that runs across the fence. We are so lucky to have some of the greatest neighbors in the world and honored more than they will ever know that across the fence runs a Byergo Angus bull.

I want to say a big Thank You to Kee and Steve Farnan, Mike Merrigan, Pat Swinford, Mike and Kenny Wandfluh, John Giffin (The ultimate neighbor who has bought bulls before we were born), Brandon Wolf, Dale Stoll, Mark and Matthew Beattie, Brian Burson, John McMillan (again bought bulls before we were born), Shaun Wiederholt, Rob Pearcy and Jeff Brown (both honorary Barnard cattlemen), Josh McMillan, Todd and Trestan McGeorge, the late Phillip McGeorge, Adam Hull, Jamie Lewis, Jim Farnan, Shane Walker, Chris Pedersen, Ryan Richardson, Keith Sutton, (joins the list of buying bulls since before we were born), Tim Wilmes, Sam Schafer, Mike Wilmes, Paul & Cade Henggeler, John Hillyard, Shane Deering and Anthony Gabriel. (I’m sure I missed somebody and apologize in advance) Every person on this list is a big part of getting to sale day, whether it is stopping to get cattle in, helping get hay put up, giving a tow out of a sticky situation, having a drink while checking the feed bunks (This one might be more pleasure than work Brandon, Ha), and or buying bulls for over 40 years.

These are the men, and men/women just like them all over the country, that make the cattle industry great! They are what defines the American Cattleman and every man on this list would give you the shirt off his back if you needed it. They are tough (and every single one of them will let you know when you are wrong- which makes you love them just that much more), have perseverance and a heart of gold.

This my friends is what makes the cattle industry great. It will never be about some white tablecloth event, or some $50,000 heifer. The industry needs these men, to provide the world with the greatest protein man has ever eaten! As the great Theordore Roosevelt said “The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood”

Big Thank to Everyone that provides us with the GREATEST

HONOR IN THE CATTLE INDUSTRY.

After writing this “Ponder The Thought”, the words couldn’t ring truer, as the Lord gained a great man and one great neighbor. Mike Wandfluh was always willing to lend a hand and needed nothing in return. Countless times he cleaned a driveway, pulled one us out when we were stuck, or the year the hay pile was getting low so he showed up with hay and said we’d figure it out later. He was the definition of a great neighbor and County Road 58 will sure miss that blue truck. Thank You, Mike Wandfluh!

As a heifer 8105 was anointed our next great donor, when you see her, I think you will see why. In life things change sometimes, her sire came out as a NHC therefore so did 8105. So here is the deal, you will have to test 8105’s calves for NH to be registered. On Average, 50% will be free and fine to reg. and 50% of them will be carries and can’t be registered. With that said if you are trying to build a great herd, here is something with a huge upside. If she wasn’t a carrier this would be a $20,000 type of cow. Take advantage of this opportunity! ✧ Will be close to calving sale day to Byergo Charles or Byergo Silver Bullet Calf will have to be DNA tested.
