Dear Cattlemen,
Welcome to our 2017 bull sale. There are roughly 200 head of coming twos and 130+ January
and February yearlings. Throughout the offering you will find several different blood lines that are
selected to offer good performance and end product merit along with the ability to function problem
free under practical conditions. As before, these bulls are free by test or pedigree of all known genetic
conditions monitored by the American Angus Association.
We will winter the bulls at no charge until the 15th of March, at which time we will begin free
delivery. The bulls sell with a first season breeding guarantee that is outlined on the next page. As
always, we welcome your feedback on our genetics and program, and our commitment to continued
improvement remains.
This year all of the bulls have been freeze branded rather than tattooed. Please feel free to stop
by ahead of the sale at your convenience to look at the bulls. We would be happy to visit with you at any
time about the bulls and your needs.
In the catalog we have included data on the “core performance traits”. With the ever expanding
Angus database predictions are available on more traits than ever before, and if you would like
additional information on any traits not listed, or genomics, please let us know and we will be happy to
provide that information to you or go online at
Also, please join us for a complimentary lunch on sale day and a post sale get together featuring
CAB prime rib and refreshments after the sale at the Taft Building.
In closing, satisfied customers are the foundation of our business, and if there’s anything we can
do to assist you, please don’t hesitate to call on us.
Sincerely,
Jud & Denise Baldridge

THE GOALS OF OUR PROGRAM......
are to provide our customers with the most progressive genetics possible. Genetics
that excel in the economically important traits of efficient beef production. To us that means
growth, fertility, calving-ease, maternal and carcass traits. And these traits should come in
a functional, sound, easy-fleshing and gentle package. We rely on EPDs, visual appraisal
and individual performance to guide us in the selection process. We also rely on AI and
embryo transfer to expand the impact of elite bulls and females on our program. Our
commitment to reaching our genetic goals includes ongoing investment in elite genetics
through semen from outstanding sires and the addition of superior producing cow families to
our program.
In addition to the goals of our breeding program, we know our future and success
depends on customer satisfaction. Repeat customers, long-standing relationships and real
genetic value are what we want to produce.
*The Taft building is located 3/4 miles west of the Lincoln County Fairgrounds on the south side of Highway 30.
