THE BULL BUYERS BRAND welcome
NOVEMBER 22, 2025 • BRADFORD, TN
Fellow Cattlemen and Friends-
On behalf of all our family, I’d like to welcome you to our 2nd “Bonded by the Brand” Bull Sale at BoPat Farms. We are thrilled to have you all back with us to view this super stout set of Angus bulls. We believe this offering represents more of what you all have come to expect from us. A solid and rugged set of mature Angus bulls that were bred and raised for real world purpose and practicality.
We make a strong effort to adapt and change with the times to an extent. With that you’ll see a handful of new sire offerings scattered throughout, but it’s also hard to get away from what’s worked for you and us. Sires like Musgrave Exclusive 1175 and T/D Doc Ryan 049 continue to just check the boxes for us.
For the past three sales, I’ve mentioned the “unprecedented times” we’re in from a cattle industry standpoint, and well, I can just copy and paste it all again. We’re still seeing heifer retention flat line and that’s allowing you to continue to receive all time premiums for your hard work. Overall management, nutrition, herd health, and proper culling have all aided in you reaching these premiums, but genetic selection has also played an important role as well. Your bull selection has never meant more. Ensuring you’re selecting a bull that meets the needs of your program has never been more important. Our goal is to provide you with that very bull, or bulls.
Again, Larry, Peyton, Cameron, and I are beyond honored that you have considered us. We’re beyond thankful to those of you who have supported us over the years as we’ve all became “Bonded by the Brand.” Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions you may have leading up to November 22.

Dollar value indexes, or $Values, are a tool used to select for several traits at once based on a specific breeding objective. An economic index approach takes into account genetic and economic values as well as the relationships between traits to select for profit.
American Angus Association $Value Indexes
Maternal Weaned Calf Value ($M), an index expressed in dollars per head, predicts profitability differences in progeny due to genetics from conception to weaning. $M is built off of a self-replacing herd model where commercial cattlemen replace 25% of their breeding females in the first generation and 20% in subsequent generations. Remaining cull females and all male progeny are sold as feeder calves. Increased selection pressure on $M aims to decrease overall mature cow size and improve foot structure and fertility while maintaining weaning weights consistent with today’s production.
Weaned Calf Value ($W), an index expressed in dollars per head, provides the expected difference in future progeny preweaning performance from birth to weaning. $W assumes that producers retain 20% of their female progeny for replacements and sell the rest of their cull female and male progeny as feeder calves. Over time, increased selection pressure on $W will increase weaning and maternal milk traits while also continuing to increase mature cow size.
Feedlot Value ($F), an index expressed in dollars per head, is the expected average difference in future progeny performance for post-weaning merit compared to progeny of other sires. The underlying objective assumes commercial producers will retain ownership of cattle through the feedlot phase and sell fed cattle on a carcass weight basis with no considerations of premiums or discounts for quality and yield grade.
Grid Value ($G), an index expressed in dollars per carcass, is the expected average difference in future progeny performance for carcass grid merit, including quality and yield grade attributes, compared to progeny of other sires.
Beef Value ($B), an index expressed in dollars per carcass, facilitates simultaneous multi-trait genetic selection for feedlot and carcass merit. $B represents the expected average differences in the progeny postweaning performance and carcass value compared to progeny of other sires. This index assumes commercial producers wean all male and female progeny, retain ownership of these animals through the feedlot phase and market these animals on a quality-based carcass grid.
Combined Value ($C), an index expressed in dollars per head, includes all traits that make up both $M and $B with the objective that commercial producers will replace 20% of their breeding females per year with replacement heifers retained within their own herd. The remaining cull heifer and steer progeny are then assumed to be sent to the feedlot where the producers retain ownership of those cattle and eventually sell them on a quality-based carcass merit grid.
