Dear Friends,
Welcome to our 58th consecutive annual sale and our 84th year as Angus
breeders. In 1932, Green Garden Angus was founded with the purchase of two
registered cows from Henry Schroeder of Lorraine, Kansas, with additional purchases
from the Parker Parish herd in Raymond, KS. At that time the farm consisted of a
wheat, milo, alfalfa and silage farming program along with the care of approximately
30 registered cows. In 1954, the farm grew in acreage as well as in cow numbers
with purchases from many local Angus breeders. Now 85 years later, we run 350
mother cows along with our farming program.
Our commitment to the cattle industry has changed little in the 85 years we have
been in the Angus industry. Our goal is to provide you with problem-free seedstock
that will make you the most profit. All bulls selling are free of all known genetic
defects and conditions.
The use of EPDs has allowed us, as seedstock producers, to make selections
that will provide you with a more predictable product. Since 1983, we have been
concentrating on stacking pedigrees (breeding “like to like”) to produce a superior
calving ease product. In 1989, along with using actual kill data, we had the privilege
of being a test herd for John Brethour at the KSU Fort Hays Beef Research center, to
help develop ultrasound as a selection tool. Since then we have consistently led the
industry with our carcass genetics. We have many long time customers, who retain
ownership of their cattle through the feed lot stage.
In 2003, we were introduced to a new program called Gene Star. That was the
beginning of using DNA as a selection tool at Green Garden. Since then we have
expanded to 50Ki profiles on all of our young cattle to aide in the selection process.
The newest tool at Green Garden, is our very own GrowSafe® System. We now
do feed efficiency testing on all of our young bulls and heifers allowing us to measure
their RFI, DMI, Feed to Gain, and Average Daily Gain.
We feel very confident that the products we have to offer in our production sale
will have the ability to produce a superior carcass value that will add to your bottom
line. We endorse the guarantee adopted by the American Angus Association. We
wish to add that we are interested in our cattle and desire to help you with any
unforeseen problems related to your purchases.
