Welcome to the Flat Water Red Angus Gang’s 8th Annual Production Sale. Each one of us is truly ap-
preciative and respectful of all our past customers and those that have bid on our bulls or taken a previ-
ous interest. The relationships we’ve built and the success that our clientele have experienced using our
genetics are two of the most rewarding aspects of what we do. We understand that a great portion of your
success is contingent on the genetics and the quality of the animals that you bring in from our program.
The Flat Water Gang considers it an honor and takes the responsibility endeared to this relationship very
seriously.
The true focus of our seed stock operations is to create as many marketing opportunities as possible in
all facets of beef production. We provide well balanced bulls for the commercial cattleman to insure long
term profitability. Over several years, our efforts have been dedicated to refining the maternal fine points
of our females to provide our customers with a problem free, sustainable and profit driven cow herd.
In addition, we have injected enough growth and performance to allow one to create revenue in the three
primary marketing opportunities of beef cattle production. Whether one is selling calves off the cow,
backgrounding a calf crop to add margin or selling fats on the grid, there is performance, feed efficiency
and top level carcass traits to assure your operation a high return on investment and build or maintain a
reputation for quality.
Our maternal focus also allows opportunists to capture premiums in both the bred and replacement
market. Ranchers and cattlemen in all parts of The United States have recognized the maternal value of
the Red Angus female. As a result of the phenomenal demand, red heifers and bred stock are selling at
a premium to all other breeds. We love seeing our customers top their market in all classes with their
reputation replacement heifers. This isn’t a fad. It’s the long term reality. Flat Water bulls can deliver the
genetic package to help you attain more profit with value added females.
This set of bulls represents less than 35% of the total bulls that were born from each of our programs in
2016. We have really focused on presenting the best of what we raise in order to have the most profound
impact on your program and your profitability. You should be able to find a strong and wide offering of
heifer bulls and general calving ease genetics. In addition, there are cow bulls with added growth to help
produce top weaning weights. We are confident you’ll find depth and quality throughout the sale.
As always, we encourage and welcome you to call, visit our ranches or drop us a line. We want to make
sure that we have all of your questions answered as you prepare to make these important genetic com-
mitments.
Thanks again for your interest and we hope to see you sale day.
Sincerely,
The Flat Water Red Angus Gang
WELCOME
