Dear Cattlemen & Friends,
Thank you to all our friends and customers for taking the time to view our catalog.
We would once again like to welcome you to our Annual Hobbs and Eathington Bull & Female Sale.
This year, we are offering 10 quality bulls, each with excellent dispositions that will complement any herd. The bulls have been bled and genomic tested to increase the accuracy of our EPDs. All cattle are up-to-date on vaccinations, and the bulls have been semen tested with 100% guaranteed fertility, ready to go to work.
Additionally, we are offering six open heifers that will be the building blocks of any herd. We also have five bred cows from the top of our herd, with due dates listed.
We will provide updated EPDs and all other relevant information on the day of the sale.
Our family continues to increase their involved with the herd, which has been greatly appreciated. In August, I underwent two back surgeries, which led to more challenges than expected. I have been in rehabilitation since, with Deb supporting me and managing the homestead. Please know that despite these challenges, the cattle are being well cared for and will meet your expectations.
We look forward to your attendance, and we invite you to join us for lunch.
Yours for Quality Beef, Bud & Deb Hobbs
As Eathington Angus, we focus on genetics that will work for the producer. As the result of our embryo program, you will notice that there are a lot of full brothers. If you are looking to create a more consistent feeder calf crop, then you may want to consider purchasing full brothers.
Cattle on our operation work for us and are not pampered. All bulls have been raised on fescue pastures with little creep feed. They have to be able perform at a high level in order to be sold as a breeding bull off of this farm. You can buy theses bulls with confidence knowing that they will go home to perform at a high level to meet your needs.
We would enjoy having you come to the farm prior to the sale to discuss what your operation is looking for in your next herd sire. We can discuss your needs and match the best bull to reach your goals.
Again, this year we have added Rutledge Farms to the sale. They bring a different set of angus genetics and also offer Simmental genetics which we feel gives our customers more options to choose from.
We are also offering flushing rights to our top donor cows. These donor cows have done very well for us in the show circuit, but more importantly they have done very well in our production herd.
Purchasing an Eathington Angus or Hobbs Angus bull has many benefits, with one being that their offspring have been well received at the Fairview Sale Barn by brining top dollar at their feeder calf sales.
Thank you for reviewing this sale book. We look forward to seeing you on sale day!
