Rock Creek Ranch 2016 Private Treaty Spring Bull Sale by LivestockDirect

ROCK CREEK RANCH 2016 PRIVATE TREATY SPRING BULL SALE

SALES BEGIN FEBRUARY 15TH, 2016 HOUCKRockCreekRanchCatalog.indd 1

1/17/2016 12:21:41 PM

Welcome to the 2016 edition of our spring private treaty bull sale. We had a very good year in the Flint Hills of Kansas in 2015. We had lots of early rain followed by some dry days in the summer. We were fortunate to get some more moisture in the fall and are finally seeing some soggy ground in early 2016. All of the cattle performed well and our weights were excellent last fall. We gathered all the bull pairs from their summer breeding groups after weights were taken and the first round of shots were given. They all were run as a single group until early October. At that time the second round of shots were given and the cows were moved across the fence. The bulls remained on grass for about 2 weeks before being driven home to the bull pasture. Their health has been great and the bulls never missed a beat. They have had two complete rounds of vaccinations, all tested PI BVD negative, and will have passed a BSE prior to the sale date. Ultrasound data will be collected in mid-January and will be posted on the website and available in print at the ranch. All bulls sell with DNA listed for both polled and coat color. We are offering several percentage SimAngus bulls, as well as, a powerful group of purebred Simmentals that includes ET bulls from two matings. I know this is the most massively designed and heaviest muscled group we have produced. There are bulls in the sale this year good enough to go anywhere in the country. Several bulls have the pedigrees, phenotype, and the EPDs to be heifer bulls. The large majority of them are deep, thick, and can be used on cows as well without sacrificing pay weight. The bulls are being handled in the same manner as in years past. They all run together in a 5 acre trap that is basically a rock hill. They are fed a mix of corn gluten pellets and corn. They have free choice prairie hay available at all times. We believe that developing the bulls slowly with lots of exercise provides you with sound, athletic herd sires with excellent longevity. All bulls sell with our guarantee. If you arenâ€™t happy with the bull, we will do everything in our power to remedy the problem. We appreciate your friendship and long term business. Also, thank you for your customer referrals. That is definitely the best form of advertising and is appreciated. Give us a call to talk bulls or just to let us know how your previous purchases are preforming in your herds. Please check the website for updates on the bulls and for females selling throughout the year. You can find it at www.houckrockcreekranch. com. I would like to thank Brittney for the catalog design and website work while she is away at college and Kaitlin for helping at the ranch on the weekends and during the summer. Dad, Mom, and I couldnâ€™t do it all without their help. Jeff Houck

Bid Off Day Private Treaty Sale Procedure Last spring we moved to a bid off day for our sale to allow everyone equal opportunity to purchase the bull of their choice. We did have a few questions on the procedure, so I am going to try and explain it better this year. You can view the bulls at any time prior to the sale date of February 15th. Please call ahead so I can assist you with the bulls. My cell number is 620-344-0233. Leave a message and I will call you as soon as possible if I am unavailable to take your call. You can leave a selection preference list with me as well as a maximum bid price or prices for specific bulls. I guarantee that the bids we handle will be treated with respect, and that your purchases will be made at the lowest cost required to purchase a bull. You can still call and leave sight unseen purchase orders as well. I guarantee that sight unseen purchases will meet your expectation or you receive a full refund. If you are not comfortable leaving a maximum bid, you can bid on the phone sale day. You must leave a phone number were you can be reached between 10 am and 2pm on the 15th. Sale order will be made on the 14th based on interest levels on the specific bulls. Sale starting prices will be in the catalog and online as soon as the catalog is completed. If a bull only has one interested party, the bull will sell at the opening price. Any bulls not sold on sale day will be available on a first come basis at the opening price. Any bulls out on sale day due to injury or needing a semen recheck will be listed on the website as they become ready. You can leave interest notice on those bulls with me at any time. You will be notified when they become available. The 2015 sale broke down like this: about 50% of the bulls were bid off between 2 to 3 buyers, about 50% sold at the starting price to a single bidder, and two bulls sold the next few days. Two bulls were sold in 60 days after they cleared semen retest due to infections. Please make checks payable to Houck Rock Creek Ranch. Mail them to 250 Road 392, Allen, KS. If you have any other questions about the sale procedures, please donâ€™t hesitate to call me at 620-344-0233.

ROCK CREEK RANCH HERD SIRES

I knew that Wrangler was reaching the end of his natural service life, so we hand-picked 22 top young females to mate him to in 2014. Our goal was to produce one more set of replacement females sired by him, which was achieved, as well as, producing a high quality set of sons to sell this spring. This will be the last sons to sell, so take advantage now.

RCR WEIGHMASTER A8

A8 was retained for in herd use due to his incredible EPD profile as well as the unbelievable body mass he possessed. We bred him to a variety of pedigrees with great success. Unfortunately, we lost him due to a broken leg in the fall. We kept every son born, and all have made the final cut for the sale. Look to his sons to add muscle, volume, and tremendous fleshing ability.

SDS GRADUATE

Graduate is a new AI bull we used on heifers in 2014. His calves came easily and had good performance with lots of body and unequalled length of side. You will see more of his calves in the future as I was impressed with them.

SAV BISMARCK

Bismarck has done a great job for us on heifers. His calves come small, and are very active at birth. They have unbelievable growth considering how small they start. We have a nice group of his daughters in production and look forward to their genetic mating options in the future.

RCR ALEXANDER A30

A30 is a first-year sire that we raised, as an outcross sire line for us. His first progeny are built like him. They are moderate-framed, heavily muscled, and have quiet dispositions. His birth weights were consistent and averaged in the low 80s on mature cows.

KOCH LC MONTE

Monte is a bull we sampled AI. He was selected for outcross genetics that had reasonable birth weights with breed leading performance. He was used for a flush that produced 22 embryos and in a few individual matings. We will have bulls in the spring and fall sales sired by him.

GIBBS XCHANGE

Xchange is a half-blood bull we purchased after studying his EPD values and then seeing his dam and granddam. He is a moderate-framed bull that is smooth made. He offers moderation of growth with good carcass genetics. His granddam is one of the top cows phenotypically in the Gibbs herd that I have seen. That is saying a lot after looking at over 700 cows in their herd.
