Dear Cattlemen,
Welcome to our 2014 bull sale. This year’s offering is roughly 70% coming two year
old bulls and 30% January and February born yearlings. Within the offering, you will find many
different blood lines and several new sires 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 all 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 begin free delivery. The bulls sell with a first breeding season guarantee,
and as always, we welcome and value your feedback on our genetics and program, and our
commitment to continued improvement remains. Also this year, we are offering the option to
freeze brand the bulls with identification that the buyer prefers prior to delivery.
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. We will do our best to answer any
questions you may have. 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 is 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.
