Our most sincere thanks to all who attended our Oct 30 bull sale; and especially those who purchased the entire offering of 25 yearling bulls for an average price of $1740 with the top bull bringing $2450. We are very honored by the trust commercial cattlemen place in our cattle and our practical program that produces them.
No excess fat, no $100,000 trading cats for dog stories, and no barbers needed. Every bull in the top selling pen was sired by a bull bred by us from cow lines we have owned for generations. The genetics that create the best functional cows for KY cattlemen will always be created by locally tested genetics. You may never see our herd sires on the pages of the Angus Journal or in an AI stud book, but we received many compliments on our herd bulls from the good cattlemen present at the sale…stout, thick bulls presented in their working clothes after breeding over 50 cows each and not fed a bite of grain since. If a bull can’t hold himself together to breed cows, his daughters certainly can’t hold themselves together raising calves.
Special thanks to Keenan Turner, now retired Pulaski County Extension Agent, and John Johns, UK Beef Extension Specialist, for their continued help and for bringing to Kentucky a profitable and common sense approach to applying science to everyday farmer’s cowherds.
We know our customers first as friends; several for over thirty years now. We expect to make newcomers our friends; the friendship and camaraderie of good farm people provide benefits that last after the money is long spent.
Our next set of Keeney Angus Bulls sell Mar 5, 2005. The bulls are weaned and on feed in perfect health this fall. You are welcome for a cowherd and cattle production philosophy visit anytime.
181 sold for $1700.
We don`t produce girlie bulls!
The governor of California may or may not
be able to balance a budget {or play basketball}, but by accident he has made a more profound paraphrased statement about cattle breeding than the usual proclamations you see in breed magazines. Once again, like the 8 frame
score days, single trait {marbling} selection is in fast forward among the breeders of revered rarity A theory making the rounds on ultrasound marbling of bulls is that those who are highest in marbling are lowest in testosterone. As expected, they look more like steers, the thinnest of their necks exceeded only by the thinnest of their butt. Keeney Angus bulls have never been to the hairdresser or wore perfume. They grow up in the same conditions they will breed cows in; mud, drought, fescue, or whatever nature sends their way. We know that fertility and virility are the first requirements of any profitable, commercial herd bull, along with production traits in balance to the feed supply. Our bulls aren’t shadetree
breeders; they will breed your cows, and if your fences are poor, your neighbor’s cows too. The good thing is…your neighbors won`t mind.
