JULY 2008
Kevin and Mary Ann pose for a picture with Lora Rose, the president of BIF at the convention in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. We were very honored to be chosen as the 2008 Commercial Producer of the Year!
The sale went great! We thank all of you who supported us this year! We had perfect weather and great attendance. Cattle sold into Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota, Missouri, Kentucky, Arkansas and Louisiana. The bulls averaged $2700 and the commercial bred heifers averaged $1544. The video auction seemed to help many out who could not make it. It will definitely be something we offer again!
All of this years carcass data is posted on the carcass page and we are starting to get things ready for the sale! Come by anytime to see the cattle.
Mary Ann and Barb went to Africa! See pictures and related story by clicking here.
Fertility ~ Easy Keeping
~ Disposition ~ Feedlot
These traits are important to us and we think they are to
others also. Our registered cattle are raised
with the commercials under range conditions. Pictured are bulls in this years sale,
taken in the pasture the evening of October 12, 2007.

KCC Vacation 301-653, KCC Grand 2023-632 KCC Big Chief 338-639 and KCC Navajo 211-612, then KCC Navajo 211-612's catalog picture They all sold on November 2, 2007 The top selling bull happened to be KCC Navajo 211-612, going for $5500! In 1990, we started artificially breeding heifers to a red angus bull that was in the semen tank we purchased at a sale. That bull was FTF Double Chief N601. Granted, we did not know at the time what a gold mine we had, but you should see the commercial females we have! Well, we were hooked. The temperament was so wonderful and the cross worked so well for us we decided to buy Red Angus bulls for the cows. We were very specific in what we wanted since our endpoint (and paycheck) is the carcass and pounds produced. We found it was very hard to find what we needed. At that point we purchased females (Mary Ann has a masters in repro phys and has done much work in the ET field) and decided to breed for what we needed. Our carcass data over the last few years shows the progression in the right direction! We hope we can keep doing that. If you are looking for bulls raised under ranch conditions, not pampered and already heavily culled, give us a call! |
