ANNUALBULL SALE

Dear Friends and Fellow cattle Producers,

We invite you to come look through what may be the best crop of bulls we have ever raised. Top to bottom, the quality runs deep in this selection. What is expressed in this year’s offering is 47 years of selection and data collection. Our breeding philosophy has remained consistent, there are many factors that go into it, but the overarching theme has remained the same: lower maintenance, bigger payday.

Lower maintenance is a function of cattle that can perform in less than ideal conditions. Fertility, longevity, calving ease, and conversion of native feed in less than ideal conditions is how we define low maintenance. Bigger payday is a function of more highly marketable pounds sold off the ranch. More live calves that grow rapidly into a product that cattle buyers will look for year after year is how we define bigger payday.

We invite you to come see these bulls, we believe they are a product that will contribute to your profitability into the future. They have been tested for performance and ability, and have had a full complement of health protocols to help protect your investment. They have been sifted for disposition to make for easy handling, and a safer management experience.

We believe that EPDs have never been the best selection tool for picking cattle, we have always used them as one of the many factors to look at when selecting bulls. In the last two years EPDs have been reshuffled by the Hereford Association. At this point we have a very low confidence level in the accuracy of these new EPDs as they often don’t mesh with the 46 years of production data we have to compare against. At some point we are hoping the accuracy improves and EPDs can be an important part of selection criteria. We have included EPDs in the catalog, but we would encourage you to know the philosophy of the breeder you buy from, and ask us for any information that helps you find the bull with the traits most important to your herd.

Whether you are looking for a profitable bull for your commercial cowherd, an outcross pedigree herd bull from a proven cowherd, or a hands-off calving ease Red Angus bull, we may have what you are looking for. Again, this year we are offering 15 open yearling commercial heifers right off the top of our entire commercial heifer crop, Herefords, Reds, and F1’s. Yearling data and ultrasound data will be available sale day. Videos of each bull will be available on sneddenranch.com. Feel free to call anytime, or make a plan to come by the ranch and see the offering. Hope to see you sale day!

Sincerely, The Sneddens

Richard and Susie Snedden Austin and Sarah Snedden H 661-747-5646 H 661-565-6744 C 661-747-2384 C 805-423-0248

SALE FORMAT:Silent auction above base price. All buyers will

register and get a buyer number. Each bull will be listed on a sheet of paper with a base price.

• Herd Bull quality here. All signs point toward calving ease. One of our favorites. Probably the best shoulder set in the offering. Extremely smooth shouldered, ample muscle expression through the hind quarter. When you get this bull on the move, there are very few that can compete with his fluidity and stride. Bottom side of the pedigree combines the Beef son we bought from Ned and Jan Ward with the great SR 0133 cow. His dam has recorded 2 at 95.5% for birth and 2 at 109.5% for weaning. His dam produced the female that was Ryah’s pick of the heifers last year that posted 119% for rib eye, and 108% for marbling. This bull is as close to a “can’t miss” as there is.

Very smooth made and sound, with full pigment and extra markings on the face. This bull has the pedigree and phenotype to make calves that have that visual appeal with extra pounds.

I have a feeling he is going to be really good, out of a big bodied, easy fleshing cow. We will attempt a breeding soundness exam on him before sale day, if he is too young to pass we will retain him or sell him as a prospect.

Commercial HeifersLots 1-3: Open Yearling Commercial Heifers, five heifers per lot.

These heifers were chosen off the very top of our commercial replacements. We hand selected each of these as the ones we would pick to make cows. They have been raised in rough country, weaned on long hay for 5 days, and turned back out on native pasture. We believe this is a pretty elite group of heifers that will pay for themselves multiple times in the years to come. There are solid reds, red mottle faced, red cheeked, and white faces. We will sort these heifers in groups of 5 based on like kind. Each lot of 5 will have a silent auction sheet just like the bulls. The bidding format will be based on the value of 1 head, with the buyer recognizing that it will be the value of the winning bid times 5 for the whole lot. All heifers have been Anaplaz vaccinated. 2 shots Bovishield Gold 5L5, and Ultrabac 8. One shot of Vista 5L5, Vision 8, Ivermax, and Safeguard drench.
