These bulls are consigned in the fall to a 112 day performance test (Average Daily Gain, Weight Per Day of Age, Ultrasound, Feed Efficiency, and Breeding Soundness). The top 80% of the bulls are sold in the “Final Sort” Sale in April. Midland Bull Test consignors reap the benefits of “total performance” bull development. There is no such thing as a gain race here at Midland. We set the bulls up on a level playing field and let the bulls walk the walk. Our facilities and program are designed and built to emphasize the development of calves into sound, functional bulls; ready to go to work. How the Bulls are Classified GROUP#: Bulls are denoted as G1 (group 1) or G2 (group 2). CLASS#: Breeds with more than 40 head on test will be indexed in two birth weight classes. Class 1 = low birth bulls. Class 2 = average/above average birth weight. The split will be determined by birth weight averages per breed and by EPDs as of Feb. 1

It is with great enthusiasm that we invite you to our pens at the Midland Bull Test “Final Sort” Angus bull sale. We have assembled what feel may be our best pen of powerful, functional, data driven performance-tested bulls for your appraisal. Please join us in person in Columbus, Mont., or online at CCI.live on Friday, April 7, 2023.

our daughters also consigned the Champion Junior bull over all breeds in 2016, 2018 and 2019.

Our goal has been the same since the beginning -– to produce performance-tested bulls and females that will accelerate and thrive in commercial and seedstock producers’ herds.

The Midland Bull Test has provided us the opportunity to objectively test our top bulls against more than 200 different breeding programs representing 32 states each year. The data on the bulls is used to help drive decisions that impact the development of our cow herd. When push comes to shove, the cows make the difference. Many full and maternal sisters to these bulls make up the future of our program.

DNA data and genomic information have been collected for 15 years. We use extensive embryo transfer to grow and make rapid genetic improvement. Cattle must be sound, structurally correct with eye appeal. We believe in great cow families; females must have strong maternal traits, longevity and a docile temperament. With this mindset, consistency and function is bred deep into the pedigrees.

The development of these bulls on a high-rough ration allows them to maintain their body condition and structural integrity in the breeding pasture. These bulls will hold up regardless of the environment presented to them. Thank you to Steve and the Midland crew for their diligent work in caring for, sorting and identifying the bulls that have “walked the walk”.

This is our eleventh year of testing bulls at the granddaddy of bull tests — the Midland Bull Test. Since then, we are proud to have tested over 150 bulls with more than 92 percent making the “Final Sort”. At Midland in 2015, 2016, 2017 and again in 2023 we had the champion weight per day of age bull for their respective groups, and in 2016, we produced the high indexing and best RFI (Residual Feed Intake) bull. In 2018, Deppe Angus produced the World Champion Pen of Bulls. 2020, we produced runner-up World Champion Pen. In addition to these awards,
