JYF Limousin Bull Sale

Page 1


Dear Friends,

Welcome to our 2025 Bull Sale

It is certainly great to be in the cattle business! While all classes of cattle are selling well, it is not the time to be complacent about improving your cow herd. We must continue to try and raise the best beef product possible. We at JYF strive to improve the product we sell and believe that top quality calves will always be in demand. As we evaluate our cow herds and bull power, we urge everyone to pay special attention to a view that most people overlook. We all evaluate cattle from a side profile, but we do not spend enough time viewing from behind. Standing behind your cattle and looking at the muscle over the top and how that muscle carries into retail product is most important. We can evaluate the spring of rib and capacity while viewing from behind as well as how well they pick up their feet and land on the ground.

At JYF we are proud of the Limousin breed for its ability to add muscle and yield to Angus cows. With a small cow inventory in North American, yield will be of increasing importance.

Please feel free to call or stop in if you have any questions about our sale offering. We would love to have you join us sale day so that we can offer some JYF hospitality.

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 6th 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
