Welcome to the 18th Annual Croissant Red Angus production sale. This year we will offer 89 bulls and 50 commercial replacement heifers all ready to go to work for you. The bulls this year come with an excellent slate of profit predictors. There are numerous bulls that rank in the Top 20% of the breed in traits that will not only increase revenue potential, but also help control costs on the ranch, through longevity in females, moderate size, and calving ease. You will see this when comparing Croissant averages with breed averages, take a look for yourself.

Investments in genetics come with a commitment to your success at Croissant Red Angus. Added value programs like the Red Angus FCCP and Top Dollar Angus (look for the logo on qualified bulls) can add value to your calf crop. We are a Seedstock Partner with Top Dollar Angus and will help those that qualify with the enrollment fee. Additionally, working with several feedyards has added value to Croissant Red Angus sired calves, an average of $7/cwt in 2017. Your success is very important to us; contact Kevin as you begin to look at marketing strategies.

Each year we are blessed to work with some great people. Two of those are our cooperators, Kelly and Kitty Sorensen. They brought an excellent set of bulls. At Red Angus convention this past year we were honored with the 2017 Pioneer Breeder of the Year. We would like to thank all of our customers that really made this possible.

We look forward to seeing you on March 24th at the ranch for the sale. If you are unable to join in person, there are other ways to be a part of this excellent offering, DVAuction, sale day phones, and absentee bidding. Visitors are always welcome and if you have any question please contact us.

Sincerely, The Croissant Red Angus Family

Larry, Jean, Kevin and Sallie

We lead our 2018 sale with a powerful son of home-grown sire, LJC Tesla 512C, whose ownership we share with Shaw Ranch from Joes, Colorado. Study Trident’s EPD profile and you’ll see that he simultaneously improves many traits that add up to increased profit. He defies the antagonisms combining best 5% calving ease with top 5% growth – and he comes in the perfect combination of fertility, composition and production traits to make cows that thrive and last in this production environment.

If you ranch for profit, you’ll appreciate this entire Tesla Sire Group – perhaps none more so than Keystone a moderate-framed meatwagon who spreads a 14 CED to a 114 yearling weight. Cattle that do everything well are more unique and have a greater impact on rancher profits; he balances 8 traits in the top 25% and two profit indices in the top 3%. Retaining 1/2 interest.

Blue Print manhandles the top 1% for profitability – easily besting it for both GridMaster and HerdBuilder. Of course, a live calf is a prerequisite for profit, so it’s good that 513E ranks in the easiest calving 1% of the breed – but not many calves from sleep-all-night heifer bulls can press the scales with heaviest 9% yearling pay weight like this moderate, deep-ribbed TopGun son. And you’ll want to keep all the heifers since he ranks in the top 10% or better for all the reproductive traits. Retaining 1/2 interest.

If you’re all about successful outcomes, you’ll appreciate this powerfully made, wide-based TopGun son who bested his contemporaries by at least 10% for WW, YW, IMF and REA.

Premier Statement’s birthweight and frostbitten ears are the only place he’s lighter than his herd mates. His Mission Statement dam made sure of that. She’s one of our heaviest producers, a 9-year-old with a 111 MPPA. This double-digit calvingease bull should improve rate of gain, yield and carcass quality. No wonder he is the highest GridMaster bull we’ll offer this year. Retaining 1/2 interest.

We’ve put extra focus on improving the traits that impact calf value without sacrificing any of the cowherd-building traits we’re known for. This Maverick son is one of 18 bulls that sell that meet or exceed a 55 GridMaster Index; 14E checks all the carcass value boxes with top 13% or better ranks for Marbling, Ribeye Area and Carcass Weight.

50 Lots deep and we find a pair of Top Gun sons that both easily make the top 1% for HerdBuilder. If you’re building a cow herd take a run at 574E – not many bulls that sell this spring are top 1% for both heifer pregnancy rate and maternal calving ease.

If you’ve got heifers to breed but don’t want to give up payweight or post-weaning gain, this Confidence son complements his double-digit calving ease with tripledigit growth. He is one of 18 bulls that bend the growth curve in the direction of more live calves that are marketed at greater pay weights.

COMMERCIAL HEIFERS The commercial heifers are on-site, and on the same development program as our replacement heifers. They will have passed a pre-breeding exam, received all vaccinations (respiratory and reproductive), and are ready to breed. Both sets of heifers come from programs that understand the importance of breeding great females on the bottom line. Beyond those females that are built to perform on the ranch, both sets have the ability to perform in the feedyard and on the rail. Don’t miss out on the opportunity to own a set or, even better, all of them.

Lot 100 – Lazy H Ranch commercial heifers 20 head of March-born heifers will sell “gate cut” in 10 head groups with option on all.

We have had the opportunity to sell these heifers for the past few years and once again the Harms family brought a high quality set. The heifers available here are out of herd sires that have a HerdBuilder average in the top 2% for the breed.

These are deep-bodied heifers that will be a good addition to your herd that have longevity and make a positive impact in the beef supply system. We have had the opportunity to feed previous years’ calves; and you or the feedyard you sell to will be happy that you made the investment in these heifers.

OUR GOAL: Produce functional cattle for our short grass semiarid environment and provide honest value and service to our customers.

OUR PROGRAM: Our program is founded on balanced trait selection using proven sires. We put the emphasis on Carcass, Maintenance, and Reproductive traits including low birth weight and do not chase extreme growth. These traits add value through carcass quality, lower maintenance costs, increased longevity of the females, and reduced labor inputs with the added benefit of the accompanying “convenience traits”. We focus on fertile, easy handling females with mothering ability.

DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM: The bulls are developed on the ranch.

After weaning the bulls are grazed out on pasture for a month and then fed a high quality roughage ration with a vitamin-mineral supplement to gain 3.25 lb/day on average. The bulls are kept in a large dry pen, which gives plenty of exercise. We do not target 1,300 or 1,400 lb. yearling weights.

The development program is designed for the bulls to make their own way on the range and hold up to the rigors of their first breeding season.

They are guaranteed breeders & ready to work!

The cattle presented here are out of cows that are bred to work within our limited resources, producing calves that excel at weaning, perform in the feedyard and add value on the rail. We hold our females to a “no excuses” production criteria. If they can’t raise a calf every year in our environment they are culled from the herd.

HEALTH: Bulls have had their branding, preconditioning, and weaning shots of 5 way BRD, Pasteurella, 7-way Somnus, parasite control, and StayBred VL5. Dr. Shoemaker will fertility test all bulls and the results will be provided for each bull sold.

In addition, Dr. Holt will PAP score all bulls for those interested in taking bulls to higher altitude. This information will be available as a sale day supplement. If you have questions regarding this information, please contact Kevin, Larry or Dr. Holt.

Your trust & confidence in our cattle, our program, and us is appreciated and taken with the utmost sincerity.

Larry, Jean, Sallie & Kevin
