First Year
We cull bulls from branding up until the sale for structural
soundness, quality, breeding soundness, and temperament.
Not every bull is destined to sire calves. AS SEEDSTOCK
PRODUCERS WE TAKE THE RESPONSIBILITY TO
MARKET QUALITY BULLS SERIOUS. We realize that
your success depends upon our breeding program and we
strive to have quality from the first lot sold to the last bull to
walk through the sale ring.
THESE BULLS WILL SELL IN EVERYONES PRICE RANGE.
We have always concentrated on producing a functional, balanced, all purpose beef animal. One that is thick and moderate framed,
not too big or too small, and that has a natural fleshing ability. If a cow has feed, I expect her to stay fat while raising a 700 lb. calf.
We believe in a balance between performance, eye appeal, and maternal traits. Above all, we have eliminated the problem cattle.
To achieve balance, ranchers need cattle that are not necessarily the tops in all traits, but they can’t be weak in one single trait.
Our bulls are not pampered and are not overly fat. They are developed on high roughage rations for comparison
only and not for maximum gain. You will not be paying for over fleshing that will melt away as the breeding season
progresses. By not force feeding these bulls, you can be assured they will be sound, athletic, and ready to service
cows. They are grown in big lots where they get lots of exercise, so they can take the toughest ranges.
These bulls
are grown mostly on hay with a 50/50 alfalfa grass mix with less than 1% of their body weight in grain.

YOUR CATTLE WHEN YOU GET HOME!
Chad Gordon of Oklahoma ultra-
sonds over 7,000 bulls per year. He
said our bulls have some of the larg-
est rib eyes and least back fat (2/10 of
an inch) of any bulls he has tested.
Utrasound
To whom it may concern:
Traveling the country over the past 15 years Ultrasounding
Cattle I have seen many types and breeds of cattle that vary
greatly in carcass traits and phenotypic quality. Gib Yard-
ley contacted in the Fall about coming to Beaver, Utah and
ultrasounding their yearling bulls. I was truly amazed with the
amount of muscle and marbling the Yardley Bulls possess in a
very sound functional package. It has always beena pleasure
of mine to evaluate cattle of different breeds and what each of
them offer to the Beef Industry. On March 14 Bull buyers from
across the United States will have the opportunity to purchase
genetics from Yardley Cattle Co, a breeding program that has
stood the test of time and continues to excel in carcass quality
and maternal traits. Whether you are a Purebred Seedstock
Producer or a Commercial Rancher retaining ownership of
your calves through finishing Yardley Genetics will work for
you. It has been proven that 1 square inch of Ribeye Area per
hundred pounds of body weight on a Yearling Bull is average,
as you evaluate the offering you will see that the Yardley Bulls
will certainly exceed that while having high adjusted %IMF Val-
ues. A 4% IMF score is equated to a low Choice Quality Grade
on fed cattle, Bulls will generally sire fed calves that are 1%
higher than their own %IMF adjusted value. Translation as you
see many Bulls in the sale with %IMF values of 4% or greater
they will transmit these high IMF values to their offspring while
increasing Ribeye size lowering numerical Yield Grades. It is
always my pleasure to travel to Utah and ultrasound bulls of
superior structural soundness, quiet disposition, and work with
a Great Family. As you evaluate the
Bulls and make you purchases, buy with confidence, you are
not only buying Great Bulls you are
buying into a Program and the Yardley’s will stand behind what
they sell.
Thanks
