JYF Bull Sale 2023

Welcome to our bull sale. We hope you can join us sale day and mingle with like minded producers who are looking for muscle to crossbreed with. Our offering is slow grown to achieve maximum longevity. The most feed efficient and easy keeping bulls rise to the top. It all starts by weaning our spring calves off the cows without creep because we want to know what our cows can do.

Three years of drought has forced us to ration all aspects of our operation as you can read in what we feed the bulls. Grass, water, and hay have been a challenge. However, it has helped us weed out the harder doing cattle that require a lot of feed to maintain condition. We are confident that the cattle that leave here will do very well wherever they go.

Please give us a chance to help you fill out your order with the kind of bulls you are looking for. Call Jeff, Kelly or the MC Marketing team for answers to any questions you may have. You may also participate on DV Auction. We look forward to visiting with you before, during and after the sale.

Our bulls are not pushed to maximize yearling data. Instead they are managed to grow out over winter so as to provide a bull that will give you multiple years in the breeding field.

Due to our third year of drought in this area we had to get creative in our feeding regime. The bulls were fed a mix of dry hay, slough hay and kochia. We topped off their daily ration with approx. 15# of Masterfeeds Target Pellet. We feel the bulls are in very sound breeding condition and ready for action!

We have made every effort to provide you, our customer, with the best bull for your money. We calve on the range, in April and May. This provides a 2 year old bull that will cover more cows and save you money. We also have a fall program where we calve from Sept 1 to Oct 15. These bulls are basically big January yearlings and provide another age option.

No bulls are sold before the sale so you’re picking from the entire calf crop. Due to their age, these bulls have gone through extra rounds of culling to ensure that they are as problem free as possible.

The JYF aged bulls are designed with you in mind. It is extremely important to us that you get the best bull to meet your requirements. We will assist in any way we can, including at the auction. If you are not totally satisfied with your selection, you will not own him.

Management Rating

We have been chute scoring docility at weaning since the system came out. We have found it useful, but that it did not adequately describe a bull’s demeanor at sale time. Bulls change as they get older and their testosterone levels increase. We see differences when working them to measure Yearling data, as well as sale preparation activities like picturing and video. In an effort to better describe a bull’s disposition before they find out what they are made for; we have come up with the JYF Management Rating. We have scored them multiple times, on our own and talked about the scores together. We assure you that we have taken every opportunity along the way to weed out a potential problem bull. This rating is simply another way to differentiate one bull from another.

1. Petable without halter breaking

2. Easily handled no matter the situation

3. Easy going. Very easily halter broke

4. Quieter than average, but slightly restless and may be stubborn during processing

5. Typical temperament. Manageable but nervous and impatient. Exits chute briskly

6. Restless and always moving away in the pen

7. Easily managed with other cattle, not so easily alone

8. Heads up with a big flight zone. Seems to be the first to run

9. May exhibit attack behavior when handled alone

10. Always very aggressive, pronounced attack behavior

Herd Health Program

Prior to breeding - All cows and bulls are vaccinated with modified-live vaccine for: IBR, BVD (types 1 &2) PI3, BRSV.

Calves are vaccinated with modified-live vaccine for: IBR, BVD (types 1&2) PI3, BRSV, 8 way clostridial, haemophilius, pasturellia.

Bulls, cows and calves are treated for internal and external parasites.

Prior to weaning – All calves vaccinated (boostered) with modified-live vaccines for: IBR, BVD (types 1&2) PI3, BRSV, 8 way clostridial, haemophilius, pasturellia.

Bulls, cows and calves treated with pour-on parasite control.

Prior to Sale - All bulls are semen tested and given the first treatment of Fusogard.

All cows are tested for Johne’s disease. We have a zero tolerance policy for positive tests. These animals and their offspring are removed from the breeding herd to insure the future health of your herd.

We searched for a couple of years before we found what we believe to be the complete performance bull. Anchor B Goldrush has tremendous growth that can compete with all other breeds for performance. The added bonus is, he is from a proven dam that milks. We look forward to seeing the brood matrons he produces in the future. The bulls in the sale are an elite group of power bulls. Their progeny will pound down the scales.

We purchased Freeman from Symens Brothers in South Dakota. We admired his extreme thickness. He has proven to sire moderate framed progeny. His daughters are excellent milkers. The Freemen calves come easy and add the limo muscle to weigh up in the fall. There are several heifer bull candidates in this sire group.

Executioner continues to impress with his ability to produce docile cattle that have some of the best feet on the place. His daughters are bringing in strapping calves and we expect his milk numbers to continue to rise. While this sire group is small this year, it won’t be in the future. Executioner will be an integral part of the JYF program for years to come.

Edmonton was a high seller from an earlier JYF sale. He has done an excellent job for our friend the Jack Glendennings of J Bar

in Missouri. He is a Birubi Jupita son out of a Highland cow that goes back to JYF Passion. Edmonton passes on deep bodied performance to his progeny. His milk EPD of 32 is a true testament to the ability of his daughters in production.

Fiddler has proven to be the ultimate heifer bull. A calving ease direct of 16 has kept him in the heifer pen for a few years. He has graduated to cow duty and had his own field of cows this breeding season. Expect to see a lot more of his progeny.
