For 20+ years, they have operated a complete conception to consumption testing program for Accelerated Genetics. In fact, Guggenmos River Ranch was honored as the 2012


CAB Feedlot of the Year. As evidence that their efforts are paying off, the Guggenmos cattle have hung with 95% grading choice or better, and 70% of those making CAB! You couldn’t pack more predictability and performance into these cattle if you tried! It’s tough to find females with this much documented, fact-­‐based data behind them.

Lot 11 – Pen______ Consigner: Bill Johnson, LaGrange, WY. 307-­‐575-­‐3026 Consignment: 20 Heifer Calves Genetics: Straight Angus. Sired by sons of Rocky and Identity. Dams are 100% Krebs genetics.

Bill has, over the years, bought some of the absolute top individuals from our Denver carload bulls to use as herd sires in his operation. His eye for cattle will is as good as you will find. Every heifer in this lot is sired either by a son of Identity or a son of Rocky, both of which were produced in the Krebs embryo program. Identity and Rocky are both closely related to each other on paper…which makes these cattle ½ sisters to one another, in blood. This adds a layer of consistency, predictability and uniformity that will pay dividends over the long run. This isn’t the largest offering in terms of numbers, but they are busting at the seams with genetics and program. Lots of history and quality in the Johnson cowherd.

Lot 12 – Pen______ Consigner: Lucas and Kendra Bear, Merriman, NE. 785-­‐694-­‐3296 Consignment: 35 Heifer Calves Genetics: Straight Angus. Herd sires are sons of Cash, Rocky & Gunsmoke.

No creep. We were sure excited when Lucas called and consigned his heifers to this year’s Fall Round-­‐Up Sale. This set of heifers is the very top cut


from his 2016 calf crop. Lucas and Kendra insist on large pelvic measurements in the Krebs Ranch bulls they bring into their operation. As a result, the females they raise are “hands-­‐free” cattle at calving…routinely having 80 pound calves with zero assistance. They also put extra emphasis on udder quality and milk production, keeping milk at an optimum level to maximize breed back and body condition scores. This year’s preg check verified that the program is working…with only 3% opens in the cowherd. Take advantage of a set of cattle bred with fertility and production in mind. Lucas, and his father-­‐in-­‐law Wayne, have trusted Krebs Genetics in their cowherd for as long as we can remember.

that Krebs Ranch will calve next spring…and is making this package of registered females available in this year’s Fall Round-­‐Up Sale. These heifers are sired by Identity, Cash, Simulator, Gavel, Rick O’Shay and other well known “cow-­‐makers” in the Angus breed. In terms of EPD’s and pedigrees, these girls are just as impressive on paper as they are in person. Whether you decide to run these females as registered cattle or commercial cattle…you won’t go wrong. Either way you wean one of the biggest, most powerful sets of Angus calves you’ve ever weaned.

These bred heifers are peas in a pod, and for good reason. Each female is sired by a pair of Longevity brothers (Simmental) and out of Final Answer dams. The heifers have an Angus look about their heads and bodies, but with an extra dose of muscle and bone. If disposition and gentleness is important to you…then you will love the way these work and handle. To tell you just how fancy these heifers are, Bill hauled a set of these to the N.I.L.E. in Billings, MT…and they were named the Reserve Grand Pen of commercial bred heifers over the entire event! You don’t find ‘em like this every year. Heifers are already cake broke.
