A big hello & wishing our valued customers, fellow cattle-men, friends and neighbors another prosperous year, from everyone at Easy Ray Angus. It is a pleasure to deliver our production to your ranches. Every year we get a number of new costumers that quickly become great friends and we really appreciate every single one of you. Also those that have been costumers for many many years, we would like to again thank you for all the support. Guess what friends? It’s Febuary 10th and we have 330 calves on the ground, 40 more to go. Conception on our cows was outstanding. Most of next years bulls will be born in a 5 week span. We can’t wait to bring them to town. The weather couldn’t have been better , we had +18 celcius yesterday, thanks be to our Dear Lord.

The cattle market has eased of a little bit but it’s still possible to get $2.96 on the rail for fat cattle. We actually sold our Bismarck Sire for $1.42 per pound at Perlich just a mere 2 weeks ago. Again, still good prices. VACCINES: All the bulls in this year’s sale have been Zoetis i50K tested. They have had 2 shots of Footrot Vaccine Fusoguard. They were weaned Sept 17, 2015. They are on the Phizer Gold Vaccination Program and 8-Way, they had their 2nd shot at weaning. We held off with Ivomec until the end of October and then Boss for Lice Jan 2, 2016. This has all worked really well for us. FEED PROGRAM: We have kept our feed program the same as every year. All dry hay, Grower pellets from Hi-Pro Feeds and no more than 6 lbs average Rolled Barley, we feed this until the sale. As always we will take the bulls home after the sale, free of charge, and have them delivered by May 1st. If you need them any sooner just give us a call and we will gladly make arrangements that’ll work out to your best interest. We are all about pleasing our valued customers. If you choose to take them home with you on sale day, let us know, as we are accustomed to trucking them home right after the sale.

365D Gain 3.70 lbs/day. This bull has excellent Feed Efficiency traits with Zoetis placing him in the top 7% for Dry Matter Intake and 1% Residual Feed Intake. This’ll be great for your 1st calf heifers, they’ll have small calves that’ll feed very well after weaning.

365D Gain 3.26 lbs/day. He’s definitely a bull that’s to be used only on cows, and what a great addition to your herd he’ll be. He did very well for himself with a 738 WW and 1260 YW.

365D Gain 2.72 lbs/day. Zoetis puts him in the Top 40% for Feed Efficiency traits. His weights show that he’s grown well and added sufficient pounds. A great addition to your cow herd.

365D Gain 2.50 lbs/day. With a Calving Ease of +12.0 and a BW of +0.5 you can be positive that your heifer will be calving on their own. He’s also in the Top 34% Residual Feed Intake.

365D Gain 3.42 lbs/day. This boy is definitely a bull to be used on cows only; he’s got everything you need. Just take a good look at that EPD profile! He’s is the Top 6% for Dry Matter Intake traits which means his progeny will grow well in feedlots.

365D Gain 3.32 lbs/day. Born with 71 lbs and weaned with 675, this bull is meant for heifers only. His -1.3 BW and +10.5 CE gives you another idea of how well he’ll work with your herd.

365D Gain 3.53 lbs/day. This bull is sure to bring big calves for your cows, he’s got great gain from birth to yearling weight. Also set in the Top 2% for DMI and 15% for RFI.

365D Gain 3.32 lbs/day. A grower that weaned just shy of 700 lbs, gaining 3.32 pounds a day. He’s in the Top 6% for Carcass Weight and 26% for Dry Matter Intake. I’d advise buyers to use him on cows due to a high BW and low CE.

365D Gain 3.32 lbs/day. A bull that was born to breed heifers, Zoetis places him in the Top 5% for Calving Ease Maternal, his BW and CE agree with these statistics. He’s in the Top 2% for Dry Matter Intake! They’ll be growers!

365D Gain 2.95 lbs/day. I recommend using this bull on cows or bigger framed heifers.11C

365D Gain 3.66 lbs/day. An extraodinary bull that’s best put to use with your heifers. He’s got a little bit of everything! Low BW! High CE! Tremendous growth throughout his entire first year.

356D Gain 3.41 lbs/day. Just looking at this boy’s weights I’m sure that who ever buys him will be satisfied. A Heifer Bull with lots of milk and -1.1 BW. He’s in the Top 22% for Feed Efficiency traits.

Another Heifer Bull here with lots of growth and performance. This bull has really proven himself throughout the year with his weights and now looking at his EPDs and Zeotis results I can truly say he’s a standout. I’d recommend him for your heifers and later on with your cows as he gets bigger. He’s in the Top 35% for Feed Efficiency traits.
