Wolf Creek Angus Ranch Bulls...
We invite you to visit Wolf Creek Angus Ranch and view the bulls offered for sale. They will be offered by private treaty on a first come basis. February 1, 2011: A total of 73 bulls will be offered for sale during 2011. The bulls' 205-day weights averaged 631 lb., representing approximately 50% of their dams' average mature body weight. Our calves are not creep fed. Their weaning weights reflect their growth ability and the ability of their dams to rear them on native grass without supplemental feed. Thirty six percent of the bulls descend from dams and/or granddams that have been designated "Pathfinder" cows by the American Angus Association for consistently recording the superior progeny weaning weights and fertility (breed back). We believe the production and reproductive efficiency evident in the moderate framed, functional cow herd is one of our breeding program's greatest strengths that can be passed on to your herd by retaining heifers sired by Wolf Creek bulls. We'd enjoy the opportunity to show you our cow herd and demonstrated these bred-in, economically important benefits.
Since weaning, the bulls have been fed a high roughage ration which produced an average of 2.78 pounds of gain per day from weaning to yearling. We don't push the bulls for extreme weight gains but instead target the condition we feel the bulls should be in as they're turned out for the breeding season. Consequently, they will require no additional "conditioning" or "hardening" period prior to seeing service under range conditions.
For the past two years, we have used Igenity DNA profiling. As a result, Wolf Creek bulls' EPDs have much higher accuracy than most young bulls, which have no DNA profiles, or mere ultrasound data. This means your selections can be made with greater confidence that calves sired by Wolf Creek bulls will perform as the data predicts! We offer free delivery anywhere in Kansas and Nebraska, and as an additional service, we are willing to board any bulls you select now until May 15, 2011, at no charge. We also offer volume discounts to any buyer of two or more bulls. The bulls will be vaccinated (with ViraShield 6 + VL5 HB), tested free of BVD-PI, and range-ready upon delivery to you. Each of the bulls has undergone a breeding soundness exam, including semen evaluation and scrotal circumference measurement (both performed by a licensed veterinarian), and each buyer will be provided with a certificate documenting results of the bull's exam as well as his lifetime vaccination record. Every bull sells with a fertility guarantee and our unconditional guarantee of buyer satisfaction.
Thank you for your interest in this Wolf Creek Angus Ranch bull offering. We hope to see you at the ranch. |

Based
on actual birth weights and birth EPDs, over 84% of the bulls are
suitable for use on heifers (posting an average birth EPD of only
+0.6, and ranking in the top 21% of the Angus breed). Additionally,
over 76% of the bulls are sired by AI sires proven for not only progeny calving ease, maternal strengths, and growth performance but also carcass merit. As a result, 100% of the bulls have interim carcass EPDs. An impressive 95% of those have positive EPDs for marbling, and over 2/3 of those also have positive EPDs for rib eye area. We'd
be glad to visit further with you about how you can incorporate
these increasingly important traits into your herd now and reap the benefits
in years to come.
Please
don't hesitate to call us if you have any questions about the bulls or
if we can be of help as you make your selections by further explaining
the use of EPDs or the performance information listed on the bulls.
