2023 ICA Symbol of Excellence Performance Bull Sale

For thirty-eight years, the Iowa Cattlemen’s Association has provided third-party verified performance bulls through our ‘Symbol of Excellence’ Performance Bull Sales. Annually, we invite seedstock producers from across Iowa and beyond, to test their best genetics against one another. In the end, bulls that make the consignment sales at Bloomfield and Tama must express their potential to sire calves that will tip the scales at weaning and excel on the rail.

This group of 37 spring and 11 fall Bloomfield sale bulls started as a group nearly double in size. At ICA, we take pride in offering the best cattle to producers in our great state and others across the country. We hope that you can take comfort in knowing that we have started the selection process for you, as we offer Excellence in this year’s consignment sale. In addition to being registered with a breed association, ICA ‘Symbol of Excellence’ bulls must surpass the muster of the following qualifications during and after the commercial grow yard testing period.

• Minimum 1,100-pound adjusted yearling weight.

• Minimum 11.5-square inch ultrasound yearling ribeye area measurement.

• Must pass a breeding soundness exam with a minimum 32-centimeter scrotal circumference measurement.

• Must rank in the upper 90% for average daily gain amongst their contemporary group.

Yes, comparative analysis is tangible and easy to point out in development facilities. However, we strive to balance performance data during the testing windows with even more important economic factors of bull potency and longevity. After all, purchasing bulls is an investment, and at the end of the day, if that investment is not expressed through a higher performing calf-crop, then how good of an investment have you made? The group of yearling bulls that are being offered today had a combined average daily gain of 4.18 pounds per day on test and the fall bulls had a combined average daily gain of 4.01 pounds per day. More importantly, these bulls are ready for the roughest of terrains for the spring/summer breeding seasons—both structurally and reproductively.

Looking for proof that these bulls are the real deal? Take a look at their pedigrees–the writing is on the wall. In the yearling group alone, over half rank in the upper 30% in their breed for WW and YW EPDs with a number of these bulls ranking similarly within their breed for CED and BW EPDs. Also, we are pleased to offer you trait leaders in each respective breed within this offering of yearling bulls.

Each individual has been put through one of the most meticulous performance testing programs in the country. These bulls have been selected to participate in this sale on structure and reproductive soundness, and have had to excel in all performance categories. Your purchase is backed by as much proof that is available to ensure that your next calf crop will rattle the scales at weaning and/or perform in the feedyard and on the rail for increased profitability.

Thank you for your continued support, trust, and belief in the consignor group and your Iowa Cattlemen’s Association!

Sincerely,

Skylar Brittain Iowa Cattlemen’s Association

HOUKS AMMUNITION 2141

IHCC WARRIOR 1730

H641

Half-brother to the high-indexing Fall Angus bull of ours that won the bull test last year, amassing high-seller honors across all ICA bull test sales. Grandsired by one of the breed’s most elite growth sires, while keeping BW in check. Arsenal will add frame, performance, body length and stoutness. Ammunition will offer strong maternal qualities as well. His dam is a daughter of the outstanding female producing Sydgen Destiny 5393. Destiny daughters are excelling in our herd. SydGen Destiny 5393 was Houks Angus’ $32,000 valued selection from the 2016 SydGen Sale where he recorded ratios of 108 for %IMF and 121 for URE measuring an 18.8 adj yearling REA. Paternal grandsire, SAV Progress 9682, left his own impact with daughters that are capacious and massive, yet feminine. Houks Ammunition 2141, a calving ease favorite that did very well on test offering a well-balanced set of EPDs. Should be excellent for fescue pastures with a hair shed EPD in the top 10% of the breed.

This President’s son will bring power and consistency to your herd. This bull’s granddam is SAV Blackcap May 4136. She has generated over $10 million dollars in progeny sales for Schaff Angus Valley. This bull’s genetics trace back to the Werner Family Angus lines and have been improved through an AI-only program facilitated by IHCC Ag students since 2012.
