Offering 66 Yearling Angus Bulls
April 21, 2016 • 1 p.m. CDT Lake Region Livestock, Devils Lake, ND
Pre- Sale Inspection: All bulls are available for viewing at the Benson Farm until April 19th and thereafter at Lake Region Livestock in Devils Lake.
EPD Comparison and Average Data Expected Progeny Difference (EPD), is the prediction of how future progeny of each animal are expected to perform relative to progeny of other animals in the database. EPD’s are expressed in units of measure for each trait.
Accommodations: A block has been reserved at the Holiday Inn Express in Devils Lake. Call 701-665-3200.
For Example: Weaning Weight EPD (WW), expressed in pounds, is a predictor of a sire’s ability to transmit weaning growth to his progeny compared to that of other sires. • Bull A WW EPD: +50 • Bull B WW EPD: +60 A producer can expect Bull B to sire calves that weigh 10 lbs more at weaning than Bull A – assuming that the bulls are exposed to similar cows, similar environment, and similar management.
Sale Order: All bulls will sell in catalog order. Health: All bulls are part of a complete calf-hood and yearling vaccination program. Health papers and brand releases will be available for interstate shipment. Phone and Mail Bids: Anyone unable to attend the sale can place mail bids with Justin Green or Jared Benson. Phone bidding will be available sale day by contacting Justin Green, Jared Benson, Vern Frey or Jim Ziegler.
EPD’s are a very good tool to use in bull selection.
Delivery: Free delivery in North Dakota will be provided on all sale bulls. A discount of $50 per bull will be made to buyers who haul their bull(s) sale day. All buyers should provide delivery instructions when settling up on sale day. Upon request, a copy of the breeding soundness exam will be provided and registration papers will be transferred. Terms and Conditions: The terms of the sale are cash. Settlement should be made the day of the sale to Lake Region Livestock. The bulls sell in accordance with the guidelines set forth by the American Angus Assoc. Liability: Lake Region Livestock and Arrow Brand Genetics assume no liability for accidents at the sale.
The American Angus Association strongly encourages breeders and users of Angus genetics to use EPD’s as the genetic improvement tool of choice. EPD’s account for all the available information on an animal – individual measures, progeny data, pedigree and genomic result.
