Welcome to the Fall Calving Female Fiesta!
Watch and bid online at:
Thank you for your interest in our offering of registered and commercial females.
Even though 2013 is off to a great start in our area compared to the prior two years,
we aren’t second guessing our sale offering. Our grass needs some rest and recovery.
Deciding how many head to sell was a challenge. After much thought, we decided
to offer all of the 1A 2012 registered and commercial heifers in the sale. We will keep
the ones in the Pick ‘Em lots not selected.
You will see many registered cows offered that just had their first or second calves.
The reason for this is we have very few cows born before 2007 in our herd. We hate to
part with them, but could not make our numbers without putting them in the sale.
Most commercial cows in the sale either did not retain the embryo implanted or
did not settle to the A.I. bull. As you can see from the preg check results, most of
these cows were bred on their next natural heat.
After the sale we will have 275 females of which around 240 will calve this fall. We
do not have a spring calving herd, but may add a few spring calving cows down the
road.
A special thanks goes to Clint Woodrow and the Eby Ranch crew for all the work in
getting ready for the sale. Come enjoy yourself and share in these quality genetics!
Thanks for your interest.
