Welcome to Waukaru!

Thank you for taking the time to look through the offering of herd bulls and replacement females. Everyone at Waukaru fully understands that you have many choices for genetics; we truly appreciate the interest you have in our program. It is interesting that recently the media has re-glorified terms like “old school” and “back to basics.” We still keep the traditions alive that were imposed by our ancestors when doing business, like a handshake, transparency and building relationships to better understand individual genetic needs and demands for each specific operation. Understandably, we know our product better than ever, and better than anyone else, just as you know your needs. Feel free to reach out anytime to make sure we can provide the best fit for your operation.

The cow calf producer is in the driver’s seat once again, and will be for the next five to six years. The animals produced by the sires in this book will return more total dollars to their operation than any in its history. The recent CattleFax executive summary painted a very positive picture for cow calf producers. US cattle inventories are expected to be at record lows by the end of 2023, yet the demand for our good product continues to surge and set new highs. Current projections for 2023 include an increase of $30-$50 per hundredweight on both 550 and 800 pound steer calves; exciting times. It made me proud to hear that although the US is home to only 10% of the world’s cowherd, we produce over 20% of the world’s beef supply. Congratulations on your hard work.

This group of bulls selling on March 18 is exciting. They have been easy to manage and develop, they are modern, and will solve specific challenges in your cowherd. You will find some familiar names as most of the previous sires have moved to be the maternal grandsires. It is exciting to see the daughters outproducing their ancestors. Also, it is exciting to unveil a new sire, Waukaru Latigo 0033. You will find this a group of powerful, growthy cattle that are designed correctly and help bridge the antagonism of large muscle and high marbling.

The replacement heifers selling are flat out good ones and developed and built with the new owner in mind. They have been developed on a high roughage diet that has been balanced for protein. The ones that excelled are on offer; any missteps have been removed. These cattle are from three different operations and three different environments, but have all used Waukaru genetics with great success. It is an honor to be able to offer them in this sale.

We will be updating the sales tab at www. wauakru.net with videos and ultrasound information. SmartAuctions will provide an online bidding platform to make it more convenient for you. Feel free to reach out anytime with questions; we look forward to the visit.
