Dear Cow/Calf Producers,
Englewood Farms is proud to offer your largest quantity and best quality of bulls ever. We are
selling 70 bulls (16 two-year-olds; 37 fall yearlings and 17 spring yearlings). All the bulls have passed
breeding soundness examinations and all fall yearlings and two-year-olds have been ultra sounded
for rib eye size, marbling and back fat. We are featuring 44 Lim-Flex, 22 purebred, and 4 fullblood
Limousin bulls.
We have transitioned during the last two years to a herd made up primarily of Lim-Flex females
(Limousin and Angus composites) as well as purebreds and fullbloods. The primary reason for this
change was to produce seedstock that would meed the needs of the mainstream market for both
commercial producers and registered producers. these bulls should help all producers in rebuilding
cow/calf herds needed for the future.
Lim-Flex brings all attributes needed for both commercial producers and registration seedstock
producers in today’s highest prices ever for cattle and feed. Many of these benefits come from het-
erosis through crossbreeding. Most of these benefits will enable major cost savings in your replace-
ment heifers and feeder calves.
Some of the major opportunities from using Lim-Flex bulls are as follows:
1. Better Feed Efficiency - Feed costs are 70% of the total cost of production. Lim-Flex bulls
will produce calves that produce more pounds fo calf for pounds of feed than most other breeds.
2. Calving Ease - The Lim-Flex bulls have low birth weight EPD’s as well as better fertility
increasing the percent of calves surviving.
3. Frame Size - the Lim-Flex bulls will all have moderate frame scores which is a major cost
saving benefit in feed costs for replacement heifers and feeder calves.
4. Longevity/Structural Soundness - Limousin females have the best longevity of all breeds
and will produce a greater number of calves form herds than other breeds.
5. Good Marbling Scores - Lim-Flex bulls have good marbling EPD’s that will produce black
hided calves with Choice carcass capability.
6. Better Yield Grades - These bulls will produce cattle with better cut ability than most breeds
making their calves more desirable.
Purebred and fullblood Limousin bulls used in crossbreeding will also add improved feed effi-
ciency and better yield grades on other breeds of cattle.
In addition to the great set of bulls we are selling 41 females. The females offered will be 26 pure-
breds, 8 Lim-Flex and 7 registered Angus cows. All the females are bred to Limousin sires. You will
like this group of females.
We hope you can join us on sale day, but if you can’t be here we will feature our cattle on sale
day live on DVAuction.com.
Sincerely,
Joanne and John Tobe
