Northern View Angus

We hope that life is treating you well, your feed stacks are plentiful, and herd is healthy. The world outside of our little ole farm is an interesting one to say the least. Everything from world markets, world peace, natural disasters, climate change…seem to be in the news. We can all have opinions on any topic and have suspicions about world conspiracies, climate change bunk, political puppets…but one really needs to focus on what we as individuals have control of and can change. One can listen to the pessimists say the cow herd is shrinking, cattle will become obsolete, bulls will not be needed….It is this little ole hayseeds opinion that we are on the verge of something great in the cattle business. People need to eat. Beef is tremendous protein. Current and future prices are taking off and things are gonna get real good. Now is the time to ensure you have the best cattle possible to maximize this opportunity with best genetic you can grab a hold of.

We are retaining a 1/3 semen interest in all our bulls unless otherwise stated. This does not impact you owning the bull, the rights to walk the bull or the salvage value on the bull. All it means that if at some point we would like to draw semen for in herd use we would arrange at your convenience and our expense to do so.

The best cows and bulls we can raise, or purchase are the key to longevity and survival in the cattle business. Cows that will lay down and have a calf, get up, nearly lick the hair off the calf and ensure that calf has nursed, are essential here. It is important that these cows are complete manageable before and after calving. Once these cows have calved, they must raise a productive, sound and highly functional animal that can be used as a replacement heifer, breeding bull or, at the end of the day, sell well at the market. You will note that I mention our cows in the footnotes of the bulls. We have been and continue to work on our cow herds development. We need great cows to do the job we want. Cows that are just good enough are not good enough. We strive to have cows that are beyond simply good enough.

We also, strive to utilize the best bulls we can find via AI or with walking bulls. When I select bulls to use, we need adequate scrotal development, calving ease, strong phenotype, ample growth and strong maternal qualities. It is my belief that failing to plan is planning to fail. Consequently, our breeding program is carefully thought out and researched. Mating’s are thoroughly explored, analyzed, and planned. Consequently, we hope to produce top quality seedstock.

This year we have Scheifelbein Attractive, Mogck Entice, SAV Rainfall, SAV Renovation, High Point Cache, are AI Sires tried and true here. Some new AI sires we used which we are really excited about are DL Rainmaker, Crawford Guarantee and KG Justified. Our walking bulls do not hold a back seat to any sire and are headlined by Northern View Super Duty 89F, CorVet Milk Dude 21E and Northern View Enigma 76H.

We have really worked on not pushing our bulls. Feeding them a ration of 1% of their body weight in grain/supplement and the balance of their ration with brome, timothy, orchard grass and intermediate wheat grass hay. The hay is of excellent quality this year. We monitor the feed intake of our bulls to ensure no overfeeding and to promote a sound growing bull that will work for you for the long term. We target a growth rate of 3lbs average daily gain. They have free choice lick tubs or loose mineral to promote scrotal development, semen quality and structural soundness. The bulls are raised in large pens and/or pasture areas to allow for ample room to wander, rumble and explore.

I have catalogued our bulls in sire groups and for the most part in numerical order of when they were born within that group. The oldest bull is first, and the youngest bull is last of that sire group. Quality is strong from lots 1-30.

See you soon!

Northern View Super Duty 89f

You know how when you run into someone, and they can’t stop talking about their favorite child and all their accomplishments. Well, this is kinda that same deal here. LOL!

Every once in a while, a person does something right. In this case, we AI’d 99Z to Cutting Edge and retained an ownership in Super Duty 89F, aka Neil.

We have used Neil for 4 years now, drawn semen on him and retained many daughters and used two sons from him. His daughters are nothing short of spectacular. We have 50% of our replacement pen as direct daughters from him.

Folks who have seen Neil once or over the course of a few years have had these things to say about him in the past 12 months.

“He is the best breeding bull I have ever seen.” My reply, “Wow! Thank you.:”

“You need to use more of that bull.” My reply, “We are breeding 45/120 females to him.” His reply,”YOU NEED TO USE HIM MORE.”

When we drew semen on him and had him on cement for the first time the comment was, “He has perfect feet.” My reply, “Hmmm they do look very good.”

Each spring Neil gets put with approximately 45 cows for beginning of January calving while we strive to AI the rest of the cows. It is really a no brainer to use him this much as he fixes up issues cows may have. We have cows that have their absolute best calf from Neil. His progeny are born as calving ease and are, as Amy says, “The smartest and most vigorous calves we have ever had.” Rest assured we will have 40 plus females with 89F right off the hop again this year.

Neil is deep, powerful and has an excellent and large foot. When he is the pasture, he moves like a cat but is also kitten quiet.

Great cows have great bulls. Princess 99Z is an elite CAA elite dam. We retain her daughters and love what they do here.

Neil’s progeny has been well received at the Blue Collar and heifer consignment sales we have been involved in. Last year his bulls captured a lot of attention with Super Duty 125J being the high seller to East Point Cattle Co. Melville Sk.

You have a great selection of Super Duty’s to appraise as 1/3 of our offering are from Neil. Not to mention his grand sons in the sale too. This largest sire group average daily gain was 3.27lbs per day. Fantastic as we target 3lbs a day and try to grow the bulls slow to last. These bulls’ standout on their own but when they are backed by this sire you can have a lot of confidence in them.

“That guy is a tank, WOW!” It is always great when someone sees what you see. Helps with your confidence sometimes. Super Duty 46K-aka Eddie is best described as extremely complete. When I stand in front of this guy and look over his top, I can’t help but admire his broad and smooth made design. He has a masculine and attractive head. When you move down to his front feet he is awesome. Then when I stand behind him his has a wide base, great hip and quarter and an ample scrotal development. Now you add in low birth weight numbers coupled with 3.54lbs per day of gain he becomes more desirable. To complete the bull, you have a double dose of the great Princess cow family. Princess 86G is a lifer here. Her first calf was a rainfall daughter. She is currently a bred here and looks stunning. The grandmother to Eddie is the dam of lot 24. Every daughter from Princess 95X has been retained in our herd. Consider keeping each and every daughter from this guy. This herd bull prospect is extremely quiet and halter broke. With a 72lb birth weight and 0.4 birth epd this bull comes recommended for heifers.
