SPECIAL OPPORTUNITY

"John has decided that any cow that has not calved by sale time will be offered at the sale. We will have them available for viewing on sale day.

This is in addition to the 15 pairs that will be on the sale.

The cows are not at fault. A bull was injured on pasture a couple years ago, and the calving intervals of those cows were disrupted,

setting them back from March to April. This does not fit John's calving window. He says all the late breds go, even heifers he had planned keep back for himself."

Take Advantage of these Great Bred Cows!

Lot 52- Cora of Volga 2242

View on American Angus Association

“Probably Erika’s nicest first calf heifer… Why are you selling her, Erika??” As I write this, I am second guessing my choice, but listen- formula is expensive! Let my loss be your extreme gain. Her dam, 464, is one of my favorite cows purchased from Oliver Angus. Her udder is perfect, she is proportional in every way. She sells with an 80# James Bond bull calf.

Lot 53- Lucy of Volga 1921

View on American Angus Association

Alright, where do we even start with this Pathfinder cow. 7105 has been a foundation cow- bull maker extraordinaire- that has blessed us with three females in 17 years. 921 has her same long frame, plus a way better topline. The udder on this cow is top notch, “just makes you wana have a milkshake.” 921 sells with a Prince of Malpus grandson- at 74# born on 3/4. I bet Dad will buy this bull back from you, if you let him.

Lot 54-O Miss 499 540 91

View on American Angus Association

This is a double bred 40 AND 41 granddaughter- and if you know the Oliver program- you know that’s a big deal. Erika has had great success with this cow, with a WWR of 2@111 and YWR of 1@104. We have a Breton daughter out of her, which is the only reason we are selling her. She sells with a 65# Breton heifer calf born 3/13.

Lot 55- Alanna of Volga 1747

View on American Angus Association

Second of 3 Pathfinder cow on the sale. “I told myself I wouldn’t sell anymore Billy daughters, but I guess one more won’t hurt too bad.” As you may know, Billy is our famous, go-to heifer bull. This cow is a great example of his work. Deep sided, level udder. 7 years old with an udder that looks like she’s two. Great cows in her pedigree, you can read them for yourself- but it has 5 Pathfinders in three generations. She sells with a Prince of Malpus granddaughter born 3/9.

Lot 56- Margaret of Volga 1742

View on American Angus Association

Last Pathfinder. “She’s never missed a beat.” Aberdeen daughter, mixed with Churchill, Matson, Big Don, and Muskox. Great pedigree on this cow. “Get on your computer, and dig back into the family. You’ll find where her greatness comes from fast.” She’s been a bull making machine for us. She is the dam of Lot 14, and sells with her first heifer, a 75# Breton of Wye born on 3/7. Please enjoy her first female out of 6 calves for us!

Lot 57- Barbara of Volga 1751

View on American Angus Association

751, this ole sweetheart. She’s a nice, deep bellied cow with a perfect udder. She weighs 1210#. *We do have to be honest with you. While she has no QAS Traveler in her- she always wants to get away at calving time. She has managed to calve without issue- on her own- several miles from the farm, twice. (This is not why we are selling her by the way.) She is a great cow, and takes care of her calves without worry. She likes big skies and open fields. Churchill, Billy, 6T- no wonder she can’t sit still. Sells with an 83# Prince grandson, born 3/13.
