Spring Bull and Female Sale
THURSDAY -6:00 PM
Welcome to the Sale
FELLOW CATTLEMEN –
This is definitely an exciting time to be in the cattle business. Thank you for taking the time to evaluate our bulls. We have a diverse offering from multiple sire groups. There is a consistency of highly fertile, free-moving, sound, and growthy bulls. Whether you are looking for maternal bulls to retain heifers, big growth, calving ease, or carcass oriented bulls, this offering can fill any need.
Our family stays busy going to ball games and taking care of cattle. Colin now works the farm daily as long as he doesn’t have a game. He continues to grow in his cattle knowledge and has started his FFA SAE with his own herd. Byron had a knee injury set back this winter, but he is healed up and ready to start track and baseball. Bennett and Gabby tag along and provide lots of entertainment.
We are blessed to have Kyle Hinkle and Brent Farnen working for us. It is rare to find help that is dependable and trustworthy. Kyle feeds cattle seven days a week and knows our cattle like they are his own. Brent helps us part time and really fills in the gaps.
Thank you to my wife Robyn for the many hours of data entry and keeping the kids and I on track. Thank you to my parents for all that they do. From hot meals, to running errands, to filling in wherever there is a need, I can always depend on them.
We value our customer base. The cattle industry truly has the best people, our customers are proof of that. It is an honor to be able to share my passion for cattle with like minded individuals. If you have any questions please give me a call or stop by the farm.You are always welcome to see the cattle in person before the sale. We look forward to seeing you March 14th at 6:00 pm.
Charles Henke
A NOTE FROM COLIN –
Welcome to our 8th annual Spring Bull Sale. We are starting off strong with these 9 Bold Ruler sons that are excellent choices for herd improvement. The lot 1&2 bulls are out of an exciting donor that has produced some excellent progeny. The 3 Heisman Bulls are multi-purpose with a ton of power, highly maternal, as well as excellent carcass traits. Since day one the lot 13 bull has stood out with his easy fleshing ability, length, and depth of body. Then you come to the Jamesons who are high-performance bulls that still have plenty of calving ease. The Prolific sons are very muscular leading off with the lot 19 bull out of 0169. Next you come to the large set of Craftsman bulls who are highly maternal and have outstanding foot quality. The Thedford bulls are larger framed and have a ton of length of body. As you go along the Step Up bulls are thick, deep and soggy bulls. Then the Symmetry bulls come in with a ton of growth and power. The Curveballs are high performance with great carcass predictions. We end with the open heifers, which from a phenotype standpoint, are an excellent set of heifers.
Sincerely, Colin Henke

TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Henke Farms assume no liability in case of an accident and cattle will sell under terms and conditions offered by the American Angus Association.
TRUCKING AND BOARDING
Bulls picked up sale day receive $50 off. Free boarding until April 1, 2025. A 5$/day fee will be charged after April 1st due to rising feed cost and more importantly the increased risk of incident to your bull. When spring rolls around a big pen of bulls ready to work is recipe for injury. Thank you for understanding.
INCIDENCE OF CALVING DIFFICULTY
While we understand the need for heifer bulls (our recommendation is 7 CED and around 2 or lower on BW) we also think that the Calving Ease Direct EPD may be misunderstood. This graph shows that from an 18 CED Sire compared to an 0 CED Sire there is only a 6% increase of assisted births in first calf heifers. The bottom line is CED EPD is for bulls going on heifers, selecting high CED bulls for cow’s could generate undesirably low birthweights and conversely make smaller pelvic areas in their progeny.
Angus is a Leading Breed for Calving Ease
Progeny of 20 highest accuracy sires born since 1995 for each unit of CE EPD
The incidence of calving difficulty in Angus cattle is very low. While these data reflect some corrective matings, a very high percentage of calves born to Angus heifers, sired by Angus bulls with breed average or greater CE EPDs, are born unassisted.
COMMON SENSE & DATA COLLECTION
Fertility with docility has been a paramount pressure point in our selections since the first registered female set foot on our farm. The ability to apply top performance traits came easily after that. When adhering to stringent culling for foot quality and measuring every trait possible, we felt like we understand what Maternal means in our cow herd with the data to prove it. Through this selection, longevity comes about naturally and honestly.
ENROLLED
Our current Heifer Pregnancy DNA score average of 577 head in the herd is in the top 29.56% of the breed on average!

EMBRYO TRANSPLANTS RATIOS (ET)
We continue to have more and more embryo transplant bulls in our sale each year. If the bull was raised by a registered recipient dam then that bull will receive his ratio for weaning. If the recipient dam was a commercial cow that bull will receive the average, or a 100 ratio. Remember each point above or below the average of 100 is how that animal compared in his contemporary group (the group he was raised in).

Granddam is a pathfinder. This heifer is a foot improver and high performance with a maternal edge. Grandam and Great grandam are pathfinders, looking down the line I am sure this heifer and her mother will be as well.

PERCENTILE RANK. Rank of that EPD compared to the non parent Angus bulls in the breed. Example: 2% for WW means that animal is in the top 2% of the breed for WW EPD.
DNA TRAITS. DNA score shown as a percentile rank as to how the animal ranks in the Angus breed. Lowered is considered better. Example: 1% would mean the best 1% of the breed.

DAY WEIGHT
RATIOS. How the animal compares to the others the same age raised in the same environment. 100 is the average, anything over or under is a percentage. 104 ratio means 4% better than average. 99 means 1% lower than average.
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 postweaning 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. $B represents the expected average differences in the progeny post-weaning performance and carcass value compared to progeny of other sires. This index assumes commercial producers wean all male and female progeny, retain ownership of these animals through the feedlot phase and market these animals on a quality-based carcass grid.
Combined Value ($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.
