Trucking We will deliver bulls free of charge up to 300 miles. After 300 miles, standard trucking rates will apply. If the buyer is unable to take their purchase on sale day, we will board the bulls free of charge until April 1. A $100 discount will be given for any bull taken home sale day.

The cattle business is the people business, and we enjoy building new relationships as well as growing old ones through seedstock cattle. We would like to personally thank everyone who has taken an interest in the offering this year and in previous years. Whether you are a past customer, or considering becoming a new one, we can't continue to do this without your support, and this is what motivates us to continually strive to improve the cattle being offered. Our first and highest priority when making selection decisions is on making better momma cows. If we didn't feel that these bulls’ daughters are going to elevate their respective destination herds, they would not be offered. It is the cow family behind the bull that separates the average from the best. We have continued to build a breeding program based around some of the most proven maternal genetics that North America has to offer. We don’t get caught up in fads and chasing new bloodlines endlessly, because we know that the great female makers are normally dead and gone before their value is truly understood. As breeders, our aim is not to try to out think the rest of the industry and strike it big, rather to build genetic consistency for ourselves and commercial customers. Here’s some of the things we believe in strongly, and others are just lessons that have been learned the hard way: • Way too many producers are emphasizing production at all costs, when we should be looking at ways to cut costs and maintain an optimal level of production. • It costs just as much if not more to keep a bad one around than it does a good one. • Often times your first loss is your cheapest, and problem cattle almost always make more problems. • Appropriate size matters, but more importantly muscle, rib shape, and fleshing ability are key indicators of the profitable kind. • There’s good big cattle, and bad small, but on the average the bigger we make them the less efficient they are and less likely to thrive in low input environments. • Muscle weighs more than fat and we sell cattle by the pound. • Without the ability to flesh easily on grazed forages cattle will never have built in fertility. • Numbers don’t mean anything without fertility, and you can’t have longevity without functional feet and udder structure. • We never trim feet, and even on herdsires promptly culled if they need it. • If you can’t be completely honest about the cattle you represent, the cattle business just isn’t that much fun. How we treat our customers and fellow producers is what we want to be defined by. EPDs are a proven tool that we use in our program, but they are not the focal point of the selection process. In our search for superior genetics, we have found that there tends to be a discrepancy in many mainstream bloodlines with breed leading EPD values, and real world functionality. Many times, genetic selection decisions tend to be made on the computer playing with numbers rather than using visual appraisal and common sense. At the end of the day, there are plenty of high numbered Red Angus cattle out there that don't have the physical attributes to either be as good as their numbers suggest, or to plain work at all in a non forgiving production environment. Our aim is to raise bulls that may not be the extreme from an EPD profile standpoint, but are balanced in their numbers, individual performance, and have ample rib shape and muscle, while also improving feet and udder structure in their daughters. We realize that this may seem unrealistic to some, but that is our goal as breeders to identify the cattle that can consistently do this, and ultimately help to improve both ours and our customer's bottom line. Aside from infertility, all other guarantees will be made through insurance only. For customers who choose to insure their bulls on sale day, York Creek Red Angus will pay 50% of the policy premium for Options 1-3, or up to 6.25% for Option 4 listed on the following insurance page. Insurance representatives will be present at the sale to insure purchases in person and over the phone. There is free delivery within 300 miles, and free boarding until April 1. We will still be offering a $100 cash discount to anyone wanting to take his or her bull home directly after the sale. Once again, thank you very much for your interest in the program, and if you have any questions please don't hesitate to give us a call or swing by anytime to take a look at the bulls or cowherd. Videos will be posted to DVAuction and Livestock Digital. If you can't be at the sale in person, online bidding is available through DVAuction and CattleUSA. Please see the list of sale day contacts for over the phone bidding as well.

Not only in the attention his sons have commanded, but more importantly in the daughters entering production and raising the new generation of breeding stock. We have never used a bull more consistent in his foot structure, calving ease, muscle shape, and appropriate frame size. E127 has been instrumental in siring progeny that fit our goal of making cattle that can raise a calf worth marketing as seedstock, breed back in a 45 day window on low quality cornstalks, and graze 300 plus days out of the year. In a world where more and more cattle seem to visually not resemble their EPD profiles in the slightest, it is satisfying to observe the numbers in his progeny and know that the database is accurately describing the genetics. Nearly every son will come with exceptional calving ease and breed leading maintenance energy, heifer pregnancy, and ribeye values. Trouble free calving, easy fleshing, highly fertile progeny with real world muscle is what that translates to. This is in fact because of the consistency of traits inherited, and therefore adds up to nearly every individual possessing an elite herdbuilder index. That is what we have done around YCRA Foreigner E127, built our herd. This offering will be the advent of a dwindling in his direct contributions to the calf crop as we rely just as heavily on natural service breeding as artificial. Following last year’s sale, Select Sires Argentina purchased the South American semen rights on him, and much of his time is now being spent at bull stud. In addition, we are marketing semen with Mike Marlow at Premium Beef Genetics. They can handle all your needs if you are interested in purchasing semen on a bull that I think the Red Angus breed has been begging for.

This is probably the highest growth EPD son of E127 we have raised to date. I will be the first to proclaim that I think the performance traits have been overdone in the last decade, but if you can add real pounds while keeping frame size in check that is ideal.

There’s always a Cinderella story in every calf crop, and this would be it for the fall 2022 season. Orphaned at about 3 months of age, this bull never let that slow him down. Posting a 643 lb weaning weight on his own, this bull did more than just exceed expectations. His natural thickness and blood red hide color has earned him many compliments from those who have visited this past year. In truth, this is one of the most exciting pedigrees of any bull to sell with the combination of E127 on top of Soldier. The two most influential bulls to our program bar none.

The last of the direct Foreigners to sell this year, and due to the sale of his South American semen rights to Select Sires Argentina the opportunity to purchase sons will become scarcer.

Big time performance bull here. We don’t have the data yet, but I would expect this individual to be one of the high gaining bulls of the sale. Big framed, heavy boned, and long spined, I expect him to hang some serious weight on a set of calves. His dam is a high production young cow that has a really bright future.

The Hotblooded sire group is one of the strongest to date. Their sire, FH10, was our pick of the 2020 calf crop, and he has done nothing but exceed expectations. If you like these sons, you should come see the daughters. I expect KF20 to pass the same sexuality and front pasture look on to his progeny. He is a sale feature backed by a tremendous young cow.

We had been intrigued by the Red Box cattle, and when we found a couple standout sons being offered by DKF we jumped at the opportunity.

A real travesty here with these next two bulls. We couldn’t identify their parentage from the multi sire breeding group, and will just be registered as a category 3 commercial bulls. KF85 was one of the highest weaning weight bulls in the sale, and his dam is a very high producing Mulberry daughter who always raises a ripping good calf. He is as stout in person as he looks in the picture. This is a great opportunity to get a very valuable bull at a discount price because of the registration conundrum. 89 lb actual BW • 733 lb Weaning Weight

A real sale feature, and one of the most interesting bulls I’ve seen. There are some big time pieces he has got going for him. Cocky in his shoulder and neck set, robust in his center body mass, and has pin width and natural muscle shape to burn. I think this could be one of the best yearling bulls to sell anywhere this sale season. His sire has made some waves over the last two years, namely with some exceptionally high quality show heifers, but I think Raptor fixes his sire’s problem of making cattle a little too shallow in their fore rib. His dam, Becca, was the 2022 Grand Champion Red Angus female at the Nebraska State Fair, and a half sister to the $100,000 2022 National Western Stock Show Grand Champion Red Angus female sold by Harmony Hill in Bozeman, MT. Her natural thickness and impeccable bone and lower joint structure really puts the wrapping and bow on this exciting young herdsire. We will be retaining 50% semen interest. 18

Another direct son of a genetic cornerstone in our program, Patty 701T, these two will most likely be some of the last we ever have to offer. A Bull Named Suh was an impressive herdsire prospect that immediately caught my attention at Tannon Dvorak’s. Thankfully, we were able to purchase semen after losing out on him at the sale. We are very excited to incorporate the First Down bloodline into our herd. Look for some very exciting fall bulls in next year’s offering as well. Top 20% ME • Top 11% HPG

York Creek Red Angus 13th Annual Bull Sale

Commercial Replacements We will again this year be offering commercial replacements from the heart of our program as well as some of our top notch customers. There will be a supplement sheet on sale day with the exact number of replacements from York Creek Red Angus. They have been roughing it on cornstalks with just protein supplement for the last 120 days, and will come straight off for the sale. They are all purebred Red Angus heifers, some even being ET daughters, but will not be selling with any papers. They will have had their pre-breeding shots and wormed on top of our standard vaccination program prior to the sale.

Lots 45-54: 10 Red Angus Commercial Replacements from Larry Ratashak, Thurman IA We will be offering a draft of one of the better sets of heifers you are going to find in Southwest Iowa. Larry has always bought our best bulls we have on offer, and if you were to stop by you would notice the expectation level is higher on these cattle than in many places. These heifers have not been pampered, and have been still running out on grass through the first of the year. Larry is a staunch believer in low input genetics, and these females earn their keep. Expect them to hit the ground running come nicer weather. These heifers will come with a green tag herd vaccination program, pre breeding and bangs vaccinations, and wormed prior to the sale.

Lots 55-74: 20 Red Angus Commercial Replacements from Dan Kahlandt, Tekamah NE Kahlandts are large operators in some pretty rough country in the Missouri River bluffs north of Tekamah. They have been buying bulls from us for about as long as we have been in business, and we really appreciate the continued support. Some of the best bulls we have sold are running on the place. Dan has always been one not to cut corners, and his attention to detail shows in their multi generation cowherd. In addition to a solid calf vaccination program, the heifers will all have their pre-breeding shots, bangs vaccinations, and wormed prior to the sale.

Lots 75-99: 25 Red Angus Commercial Replacements from Ben and Max Johnsen, Underwood IA It is with bittersweet feelings that we will be offering the last bunch of replacements for Ben and Max as they are dispersing one of the finest set of Red Aggus cows in western Iowa. They have sorted this group down from over 60 heifers, and it will be the last set of replacements they have to consign to the sale. They have always been ones to be highly particular about what they bring to town, and this year will be no different. On top of purchasing some of our best bulls over the years, my older herd bulls often end up at their place when they are being rotated out of my lineup. Consequently, many of these females are in fact sisters to some of the bulls in the offering. They come green tagged, bangs vaccinated, with pre breeding shots given, and wormed prior to the sale.

Red Angus Cow Herd Dispersal Lots 100-174: 75 3-4 year old Red Angus Cows from Ben and Max Johnsen, Underwood IA As I mentioned in the description of the heifers, Ben and Max will be consigning a total dispersal of a fantastic set of Red Angus cows. The culls have already been sorted off. If you know Ben and Max, you’ll know that they are low input operators. These cattle work for them, and not the other way around. More importantly, these Red Angus cows have been bred to perform in that management system. Their vast majority of the cowherd has either been home raised or stems from a large purchase of females from Wes Wells in the sandhills of Nebraska. I know Wes’s cattle well, and I can promise you that you will not find a harder working set of cattle anywhere. They are flat tough. If I myself was in the market for cows in the prime of their life, this would be a set I wouldn’t let get away. 20
