2013 Charolais Bull Sale
Tuesday March 19, 2013 Farmers and Ranchers Livestock Salina, KS Bulls sell at 12:00 Noon
www.vaughanfamilyranch.com
Thanks for your evaluation of our bulls. This marks our 37th year in the Charolais Industry. We have tried to stay true to our breeding strategy over these years. We strive to produce sound, functional cattle by focusing on strong maternal characteristics as well as genetically stacked with carcass merit. We want calves that can be born unassisted, grow and grade. We have participated in various Bull Tests over the years to help evaluate our genetics in a comparative environment. We have also culled heavily in cow families based on udder evaluation, body condition, phenotype and disposition. In addition to raising cattle that can perform in challenging environments, we have also participated in the show ring. Although the show ring Champions have definitely changed in phenotype over the years, we are proud to have crossed paths with moderate genetics when the transition started back to functional cattle types. We have shown the National Grand Champion HTA Tatonka, who later walked our pastures to help generate a refined herd nucleus producing a strong maternal base. We are also pleased to have shown the Reserve National Grand Champion Female—Reba. We then added Baldridge Fasttrack to our walking herd sire line up. Fasttrack is a multi-year, multi-trait leader Role of Excellence herd sire and is an icon in the Charolais Industry. His daughters are known for strong maternal traits and are solid milkers. Our most recent herd sire addition is ROR Ignition 1023. Ignition is a phenotypically correct bull who has caught the eye of many producers. He was the Reserve Grand Champion Bull at the 2011 American Royal. We are excited to introduce Ignition progeny and see how they perform in our operation. We have his first calf crop on the ground from first calf heifers. They are showing light birth weights and are vigorous at birth. Semen is available on all of our listed herd sires. We are pleased to offer a nice selection of 19 coming 2 year old and 6 yearling Polled sons of Director, Outlook, Reward and OnTrack. Many of the bulls are 3/4 brothers by blood. The bulls will have been semen checked, and tested free of Tritrichomonas by Dr. Richard Heersche DMV. They will be presented with health papers on sale day. The bulls received 20/20 Vision 7 Spur, IBR, BVD, PI3 vaccinated and were poured with ivomectin. The bulls will be vaccinated with Bovi-Shield Gold + VL5 and poured with ivomectin prior to the sale. As all farmers and ranchers are aware, the last two years have consisted of the worst drought in recent history in our part of the state. Mother nature played her part as a sorting stick throughout cow herds across the region, leaving the best and most efficient cattle who have proven to produce in harsh, stressful conditions. The dams of these bulls have earned their right to stay in the VFR herd, due to their individual progeny performance. Given the quality genetics, these bulls have proven they can grow and perform in drought-stressed conditions. These bulls are developed on a high roughage diet to ensure sound structural development and performance longevity. This consists of corn and milo stalks with minimal supplemental feed, consisting of dried distiller grains and a mineral package. They transition to a higher quality, free choice brome hay with light supplemental feed with mineral. We are careful to not fatten the bulls. A fat bull will not be able to cover large acres and keep up with heavy service. Our bulls are developed in pastures where they have to walk to water, hay and mineral. This keeps them in good shape and helps develop lean muscle. These bulls are developed with longevity in mind and will be ready to cover ground and see heavy service.
