Welcome to the 2022 Big Sky Elite Female Sale!

The start of the world pandemic in 2019 certainly changed life forever. One of the positive things to come out of it as farmers and ranchers was the ap preciation of simpler things in life … such as food! The disruptions in what used to be the daily normal may never be restored with workers and supply chains broken and still in disruption three years later, but the appreciation for beef and the willingness of the American public to pay for it will forever change the course of cattle production in the United States.

Many other factors will affect the next several years in the beef industry, but none will impact it as much as the slaughter of a major portion of the U.S. cowherd due to drought across many areas of the country. NOW is the time to invest in your future as a cattle producer. It is time to step up your pro gram into high quality production. Commodity producers with subpar cattle will diminish in the coming years as the demand for feed sources, land and water will only be substantiated by programs producing high-quality beef. You no longer can afford to be a commodity producer; survival will require a high-quality, high-end beef product.

Red Angus females offer ultimate maternal traits to be “the best mother cow” in the beef industry, exhibited by fertility, high milk production and superior calf raising abilities. The 2022 Big Sky offering is the largest in the history of this auction and the four producers represented have a proven track record of high-quality Red Angus cows that are unmatched in the industry. If you are ready to take your program to the next level, make plans now to be in Three Forks, Montana, on Dec. 7th or tune in via DVAuction to bid live during this event.

If I can be of any assistance to you, please feel free to contact me at 641919-1077. I will be analyzing the cattle on Monday, Dec. 5th and Tuesday, Dec. 6th and would be glad to give you an unbiased opinion of the cattle selling.

Get off 1-90 at the Logan Exit, #283. Go north and take a left on the frontage road. Proceed west toward Three Forks, about 1/2 mile. Take a right onto Logan Trident Road, heading north. The road immediately crosses the Gallatin River and the railroad tracks, as shown on the map. Green Mountain Red Angus is 2 miles from the railroad tracks. Watch for the large Green Mountain Red Angus sign.

We feel this Red Rock x Seneca bred heifer may be as good of one as we have ever raised. She has a show stopping phenotype with a beautiful foot and leg set, and front end. She has extra length of spine, good volume and rib shape. She stems from one of the most famous and proven cow families in the history of the Red Angus breed “The Abigrace’s”. These cows have worked in any herds for a long time and could be one to work in yours. Her dam comes with a 105 MPPA and is a beautiful Seneca x Make Mimi. The Red Rock daughters have been time tested and have risen to the top many times. They are very maternal cows with great feet and udders. 1118 also sports a solid EPD package with 11 traits in the top 21% of the breed which proves personal performance with 115 WR and 113 YR. To round it off, she is bred to one of the breeds hottest sires, Bieber Energize F121 for a February calf. Take a long look at this breed leading female on sale day!

Great combination of growth, maternal and carcass traits. This is one powerful cow! It is unusual for a cow with this much performance to rank so highly in her EPDs. The only reason we are willing to let her go is because we have an amazing daughter as a replacement. This is an opportunity that you do not want to miss – after all, this is the Big Sky Elite!!!

Her phenotype is second to none with extra rib and a beautiful front end and straight top line, not to mention her foot and leg set and udder. This could prove to be an exciting matchup with the new C-T Resource 1052 herd sire, one of the top selling bulls to Jeff Stone, CA in the 2022 Feddes/C-T Bull Sale.

Z201 was destined for the donor pen this spring until she had twins. She is one of our very favorite cows to look at on the entire ranch. This cow is flawless in her phenotype with impeccable feet and udder. Her bold spring of rib and clean front end make her something special. She has had 10 natural calves with a calving interval of 366 days. When you evaluate this cow sale day you will see she does not show her age and I believe she has several more years in her yet. She raised a bull calf this year that weaned at 644 lbs as a twin that will be well received in our 2023 bull sale. Several of her bull calves have made it into top notch operations. Next year’s calf will be sired by Feddes Coach Wooden 0237 who is an outcross sire out of a very top donor at the Feddes ranch. Her daughter sells as Lot 63.

MARIGOLD

4078 is a very special cow phenotypically and because she is a Marigold L231 daughter. It’s hard to find a cow with the depth of rib, extreme capacity, hind quarter and still have the gorgeous front end that this direct Marigold L231 daughter does. It’s extremely rare to find a daughter of L231 today and especially one out of Mulberry. Her feet are amazing and her udder is nearly perfect. Her last son to sell brought $10,500 and she is carrying a bull calf out of our leading herd sire, Coach Wooden 0237 who is backed by possibly the best donor cow to walk at Feddes Red Angus. The maternal power packed into this combo is amazing and her

She is the product of a strong maternal line with top-notch MPPA’s. You have to go all the way to a 1956 born, 3-digit registration number dam, before you find an MPPA under 100. EPDs are strong with 15 in the top half of the breed or higher, topped by a 1% REA. All indices are in the top 21% and prove out a well-balanced number set.

Her sire is the ABS bull Feddes CCC Definitive whose dam is none other than Clark Mattie 1401. 1401 is one of, if not the best cow ever produced at Clarks. This heifer stacks some of the very best cow families there are in her pedigree and is bred to none other than C-T Red Rock with a heifer calf.

This heifer is a little younger than the rest of ours but has done everything right. Her mother was our pick of the entire NILE offering a few years ago, from Milk Creek Red Angus, and was our highselling female in last years sale. She has a very balanced set of EPDs and they match her look. Her feet look great, and her mother’s udder was outstanding. Bred to our herd sire C-T Remarkable 0103, who stacks Marksman with Feddes Sleek 806, one the most prolific donors ever at Feddes Red Angus. This mating and this heifer should prove to be an excellent purchase.

What we are doing selling this one? This is the only full sister we have to Feddes Treadstone 9352 that sold in 2020 as the second high-selling bull for $15,000 to Leland Red Angus. We used Treadstone heavily the last few years and are completely sold out of semen. This moderate-framed female has possibly one of the best udders we have ever seen. Her dam boasts a 106 MPPA, her MGD 102 MPPA and back 3 generations there are 2 cows with 107 MPPAs. This cow traces back to the great Blockana 899 cow – possibly the most influential donor we have ever had. 096 boasts 11 traits in the top 26% of the breed. She is bred to our herdsire Coach Wooden with a BULL calf! The genetic potential in this calf is second to none. We believe Wooden will add the frame, bone and growth to make her bull calf really special. Don’t miss out on this one – she is special.

092 is a direct daughter of L231 and Redemption that’s only a coming 3-year-old and has her whole life to produce for her new owner. If you have studied this breed much, it’s not hard to see the impact the Marigold cow family has had on the breed. L231 was purchased by C-T and Klompien Red Angus out of the Buffalo Creek dispersal sale. Her first calf for them sold for over $20,000 and she has never looked back. 092 is bred to the high-selling bull in the 2022 Feddes/C-T bull sale bringing $20,000, C-T Seneca 1012. This mating should add the power, growth and mass to create a top-end calf in any herd. 1012 is backed by the famous Tina cow family that has the maternal power to move any program for ward. This is a very neat female, and we are sad to see her leave but believe she will do great things for her new owner.

This fancy young lady did a fantastic job of raising a bull calf this year as indicated by her 102 MPPA on one calf – he had a 105 Weaning Ratio. A first-calf heifer raising a big bull calf often comes with the price tag of not getting bred back as quickly. Our loss is your gain. As is indicative of her name – she is a diamond! Calving ease with powerful performance – in my world, that spells profit.

This girl turned in top-notch personal performance, with a WR of 114 and a YR of 106. It appears that she will pass that on to her progeny. Her first calf was a modest 53#, but that didn’t stop her from weaning off at a 99 WR. Pretty impressive spread! The maternal pedigree follows an impressive line of performance with MPPAs reading from 99 to 107, terminating at a foundation Beckton female whose sire was Larkspur, registration #1 in the Red Angus breed. There is a breedleading set of numbers here, with all growth in the top 1%! Carcass is strong with top 21% Marb and REA and 4% GM. Historic maternal greatness and progressive genetics!

This one hurts to see go. We have been trying for years to acquire embryos from Feddes Blockana R11 and were finally able to out of none other than MR Coach 1296. R11 was in production until 18 years old and maintained nearly a perfect udder and feet. MR Coach was the outcross sire coming from MR Angus that we acquired semen on right away. He has since passed away and all the semen is now gone. There won’t be very many Coach daughters for sale and surely none out of a cow like R11. She is bred to Coach Wooden which would make the calf a double bred Coach 1296 calf. Wooden’s dam is Feddes Blockana C31 making this calf a double bred Blockana as well. This could very well be the most exciting calf coming out of this sale in 2022.

This heifer is years in the making and we wish she wasn’t in this sale. This heifer’s full sister was selected as a heifer calf on the cow and went on to be a donor at Wildcat Creek Ranch in Kansas and several other herds around the country. This embryo was made and sold in 2008 and we had the opportunity to purchase them back and this heifer is what we got. Her dam, Feddes Blockana 880 was an outstanding cow that produced to 18 years of age and sold bulls into many different purebred herds and raised a herdbull we retained in our herd. The EPDs do not reflect the potential in this heifer. Bred to Remarkable 0103, stacks Sleek 806 with Blockana 880, Blockana 4231 and the base of our herd BJR Blockana 502-5185. You couldn’t put a more royal pedigree together if you tried. If she hadn’t fallen out of our calving window we would NEVER sell this heifer. Our loss is your gain on this one!

Red Angus Guide to EPDS and Indexes

ProS ... Profitability and Sustainability is an all-purpose index that predicts average economic differences in all segments in the beef supply chain. This index is a combination of the breeding objectives modeled in the HerdBuilder and GridMaster selection indexes. In this index, replacement heifers are retained from within the herd and all remaining progeny are fed out to slaughter and sold on a quality-based grid. Traits included in this index include calving ease, growth, HPG, STAY, Mature Weight, Dry Matter Intake and carcass traits. The resulting index is expressed in dollars per head born (Index/High Value).

HB ..... HerdBuilder is a maternal selection index that predicts the economic differences of animals for traits that are important from conception through weaning. Expressed as dollars per head born, HB is calculated based on the scenario that bulls are mated to heifers and cows, replacement heifers are retained and all remaining progeny are marketed at weaning. Traits included in the HB index include Calving Ease Direct, Calving Ease Maternal, Weaning Weight, Milk, Mature Weight, Heifer Pregnancy and Stayability (Index/High Value).

GM..... GridMaster is a selection index that predicts the average economic difference of non-replacement calves through the postweaning phase of production. GM places selection pressure on growth, feedyard performance and carcass traits. Expressed as dollars per head born, GM is calculated based on the scenario that progeny are fed out to slaughter and marketed on a quality-based carcass grid. Traits included in GM include Average Daily Gain, Carcass Weight, Dry Matter Intake, Marbling, Back Fat and Rib Eye Area (Index/High Value).

CED Calving Ease Direct predicts differences in the percent of calves born unassisted out of 2-year-old dams. (Percent/High Value)

BW Birth Weight predicts differences in actual birth weight of progeny. (Pounds/Low Value)

WW Weaning Weight predicts differences in 205-day weaning weight. (Pounds/High Value)

YW ........ Yearling Weight predicts differences in 365-day yearling weight. (Pounds/High Value)

ADG ....... Average Daily Gain predicts differences in weight gain between 205 and 365 days of age. (Pounds/High Value)

DMI ....... Dry Matter Intake predicts differences in daily feed intake as measured in a feedlot during the post-weaning period. (Pounds/Low Value)

MILK Milk predicts differences in weaning weight attributed to the milking ability of the animal’s daughters. (Pounds/High Value)

ME Maintenance Energy predicts the difference in maintence energy requirements. (Mcal per Month/Low Value)
