Open Heifers
There has been a strong demand for our open Charolais Red Angus heifers in the past, and we are excited to have more available this year. We will be offering approximately 15 of our best Charolais Red Angus composite heifers at the sale. These heifers are open and ready to be bred by your bull of choice this fall. Reproductive tract scores and pelvic measurements will be provided on sale day. Our heifers are being supplemented with grain while grazing our fescue pastures. Disposition is very important to us and these girls are happy to see us every morning. We will be sorting our cream heifers from this group and offering in our sale. If you are looking to add a few replacement heifers to your herd, you will surely find something that fits your criteria.

Bred Heifers
We will be offering approximately 45 bred heifers. Our females were sorted and selected prior to breeding based on disposition, reproduction tract scores and pelvic measurements. The heifers were vaccinated with their pre-breeding shots and dewormed. The heifers are home-raised or sired by Angell Thomas Genetics.
The black-nose heifers are AI bred to the Black Angus Iron Horse bull. The cream heifers are AI bred to the Red Angus Brown End Zone bull. The heifers were AI bred on April 24, 2024 and then pasture exposed to two Redemption sons. We will be sorting the heifers into groups of two to four according to AI status, color and sex of their calves.
Bulls
This year’s sale will feature 15 yearling bulls and seven 18 month old bulls including several several Charolais Red Angus composite bulls. The bulls have been fed a high fiber, growing ration that is nutritionally balanced and primarily comprised of forages, corn, and fescue grass grown on our farm. This ration allows for good structural development and longevity. We have found that this diet combined with the exercise they get in the large, shaded paddocks, provides a solid foundation for years of successful breeding. We will be ultrasounding and taking yearling weights and measurements in late August. Pictures and videos will be taken the first few weeks of September. Please feel free to give us a call with any questions and we look forward to seeing you on October 19th. If you are not able to attend, please remember the sale with be broadcast on DVAuction.
