2024 has been a year of many blessings: Trey ventured off to college to join Austin in the southwest rodeo region of Texas, Cody’s continuing to make a significant impact in the family business, our baby girl has entered High School as a freshman and our President Cowgirl, Kylie, is still the one we all admire for her sense of humor and unconditional love every day! However, nothing is a bigger blessing than being able to share this life and love for agriculture with family, friends, and our almighty God. Each day brings a boundless joy when we can reflect on the blessings and beauty that God has bestowed upon us in our cattle herd. As the family businesses continue to grow, so does the opportunity to cherish relationships and friendships, both old and new, that we encounter in this amazing industry. Brent repeatedly tells me “It’s the relationships that matter most” and he could not be more accurate. Our customers’ support, vets’ expertise, and everybody in between make this dream a reality and we are so thankful for each one of you.
This year, we are offering a strong selection of several bulls that are 15-month-olds, 12-month-olds, and a few powerful 2-year-old bulls. We are excited to offer a group that we genuinely believe is our absolute best group to date, that has the potential to enhance and top our industry’s prestigious markets. Our goal is that every bull raised here at Huwa Cattle benefits your herd. Whether you are looking for calving ease with lots of growth, one that tops the chart in carcass merit, a powerful kind with phenotype and performance, we believe this is the set of bulls that will fit those desires. In addition, what we believe is one of the most important benefits is that these bulls will carry strong maternal traits, which will be key to the success in your cow herd. We continue to strive toward raising bulls that follow our multi-trait excellence and producing cattle that thrive long term and in any environment for our customers.
The prosperity of our cattle operation could not be done without our amazing crew and their families. Their continued passion, hard work, dedication, and friendship are a blessing to our family and do not go unnoticed. We are so thankful for Hunter Payseur, Tim Martinez, Joe Stone, and Victor Cassiano for all that they do every day to help continue to grow our herd with success.
Please come join us February 5, 2025, for lunch at noon and sale starting at 1pm MST at the ranch. Most bulls will qualify for targeting the brand and qualify for the Top Dollar Angus program. We will stand behind our bulls 100% and guarantee all bulls selling will carry a 90-day breeding season guarantee. The bulls are available for viewing at any time prior to sale day and we welcome you to stop by and get to know us, our program, and our genetics.

bull guarantee
All bulls are guaranteed to be sound breeders for the first breeding season, consisting of 90 days from first turn out. A replacement bull of same or similar value will be given if available or credit in the next Huwa sale will be issued less salvage value. We just simply ask for proof of salvage value via stockyards receipt and a vet statement of injury. Huwa Cattle Co will stand behind each bull fully but cannot be used as a mortality insurance policy, cover neglect, poor management, or acts of God. Please let Tonya know though out the year if any issues arise with your purchase as we want to make them right with you sooner than later.
• Selling 100% interest in all bulls. In herd semen use for Huwa Cattle may be requested on a few bulls at sellers expense and buyers convenience.
• All bulls remaining at Huwa Cattle after March 1st will be billed $5/day until delivery or pickup. Any bulls staying past March 1st will need to be covered by buyers’ mortality insurance policy as Huwa Cattle will not be liable for on site bull injuries after that point.

a note from our sale managers
Dear Cattle Producers,
We are about to enter a golden age in cattle production that has been well deserved for the survivors and fighters in this business. Thank you for taking time to look at Huwa Cattle as a seedstock provider to supply a set of feeders or replacements to a market at an all time low for supply. Genetically speaking, we have full faith in the Angus behind
this brand as the selection pressure for marbled meat in an easy fleshing and eye appealing package is paramount at Huwa’s. This sale is stacked with cattle that can perform in any region, elevation, and climate to supply a thirsty market place for high quality product.
Most importantly you are working with Godly people who are family focused and kind. You can buy Angus cattle anywhere but the people who made them matter even more. Buy with confidence as we know first hand that the Huwa family is a good one and the cattle follow suit. If you don’t know Tonya, Brent and the family, we encourage you to come in person and bring the kids to a wonderful sale site for a great experience.
WHAT ARE EPDS?
ESTIMATED PROGENY DIFFERENCES (EPD s ) ARE A PREDICTION OF HOW A SIRE OR DAMS’ OFFSPRING WILL PERFORM COMPARED TO OTHERS.
EPDs are a representation in the difference in pounds, inches, or centimeters (depending on how that trait is weighted or measured.) The EPD numbers do not correlate to an actual weight or measurement however, they are only to be used to compare against other animals EPD’s to represent the difference in genetic potential. For example, a 2.1 BW EPD does not correlate to an 85 pound actual calf. When comparing a 2.1 BW EPD bull to a 1.1 BW EPD bull you could expect a one-pound difference in actual birthweights between the two sires.
CALVING EASE DIRECT (CED): The percentage of unassisted births of a sire when used on first calf heifers. Higher is more favorable. This is to just be used when looking for bulls to be used on heifers. We recommend an 8 or higher.
BIRTH WEIGHT (BW): The difference in pounds of birth weight. In today’s production Angus genetics we find that there are not many bulls that should present calving difficulties in mature cows. The BW EPD is preferred as a selection tool more than the actual birth weight of the bull. Environment and management can change the birth weight of an animal so drastically that the EPD is a better tool.
WEANING WEIGHT (WW): The difference in pounds at weaning. Also seen as a 205 day weight in places.
YEARLING WEIGHT (YW): The difference in pounds at yearling. Also seen as a 365 day weight in places.
SCROTAL (SC): The difference in scrotal circumference in a bulls sons.
DOCILITY (DOC): The difference in docility scores. Cattle are given scores for disposition and a higher docility is more favorable.
MILK (MK): The difference in pounds at weaning as a result of milk production of daughters. Honestly this EPD we don’t worry about unless they are in the top 5 or bottom 5% of the breed as there is little to be known about how much milk is actually being produced among the different environments and managements in the country.
CARCASS WEIGHT (CW): The difference in pounds of hanging carcass weight.
MARBLING (MB): The difference in the USDA marbling scores. Higher is more favorable.
RIB EYE (RE): The difference in the square inches of rib eye.
$MATERNAL ($M): An index (combination) of multiple EPDs that pertain to the profitability difference from conception to weaning for those retaining their own replacement females. Index’s are contrived of scenarios that don’t necessarily fit each producers management, resources, niche markets or goals. You can use index’s for quick sorts but would have you look towards the individual traits of your needs ideally.
$BEEF ($B): An index (combination) of multiple EPDs that pertain to the terminal profitable difference from weaning to harvest. This index awards cattle for higher YW, CW, MB, RE, and lower Fat.
$COMBINATION ($C): An index (combination) of index’s. This primarily is a combination of $Maternal and $Beef. This index can easily be influenced by a terminal or maternal trait and is not a true prediction of something complete or combined. In most cases it can be, but we still encourage you to look at all traits that best suit you and use $C as a quick sorting tool.
DNA SCORES: Below many EPDs bars you will find a line of 18 traits (many that are abbreviated just like the EPDs above). These are DNA scores and are represented as a percentile rank within the breed (lower is more favorable.) This just shows another layer of the tools used in the decision making that goes into the more accurate EPD above. The EPD takes into account, parental information, DNA information, and weights and measurements of the actual animal.
%RANKS IN EPDS: Under many EPDs you will see % ranks. That shows how that animal ranks within the breed for that trait. Example, 1.87 MB 1%, that means that animal ranks in the top 1% of the breed for MB EPD.
There are 26 different EPDs and Index’s provided by the American Angus Association. We list the EPDs and Index’s that are most pertinent to our customers to save space and time. We know some prefer more information and it is always available at www.angus.org. It the upper right-hand corner enter the animals registration number in the search bar and the entire pedigree and EPD profile is at your fingertips.
