Drake Cattle Co. Bull Sale 2014

Drake Cattle Co. Bull Sale 2014 Welcome! Welcome to our 1st annual bull sale. We have been selling bulls private treaty for years and have built a solid base of loyal customers who come back year after year. We thank these repeat customers and welcome our new ones. Dad taught me the value of some things that don t read on the pedigree sheet, performance page or. These are things like moderate frame size, disposition, foot and leg soundness, udder shape and teat size, fleshing ability and rib shape. These are the traits we add behind the scene that we hope set our cattle apart from others. Disposition is a big one for us and we don t tolerate rowdy cattle. Dad was right, they aren t worth it. They don t last long around here and we think you will find the bulls are very gentle. The Simmental breed has made tremendous progress in the last ten years with calving ease and maintained our performance. We believe we have been on the front end of these changes and think you will truly appreciate this set of bulls. Please call with any questions at 641-658-2288. Thank you for your interest. Aria Nicole 11-28-13 Our Newest Granddaughter Denny and Cara Drake

Drake Cattle Co. Bull Sale 2014 Two-Year Old Bulls This set of coming two year old bulls are truly impressive. Visitors to the farm have stood in awe at the overall quality and raw power these bulls display. They are April and May of 2012 bulls that have never been offered for sale. They have the bred in calving ease of In Command and Storm and their performance has been spectacular. The In Commands are all baldies and the Storms solid black. Buy with confidence, I don t think I have ever assisted an In Command calf and the growth and performance of the Storm calves has been impressive and consistent with maybe slightly higher birth weights than the In Commands but problem free calving ease. 1 Drake Bull Z1 ASA#2828613 Black Baldy Polled Purebred Birth: 4-5-12 Tattoo: Z1 Adj.

This group of bulls were handled differently being grass fed from May til October. They have grown out well and look tremendous. They may not have quite the weight per day of age as the other bulls due to being on drought pasture through last summer. However, they look great and have the same genetic potential as our other bulls. Look this set over closely and compare them to each other. These are powerful, athletic bulls with outstanding genetics for calving ease, growth and complete quality. 10 Drake Bull Z111 ASA#2828834 Black Dbl Polled 5/8 SM 1/8 HH 1/8 HP 1/8 MX Birth: 7-1-12 Tattoo: Z111 Adj.

Friday, April 4, Centerville, Iowa Powerhouse Yearling Bulls by In Command We are very proud to offer this set of In Command yearling bulls. In Command is the best overall bull we have used. He makes them very attractive and complete. The calving ease is phenomenal and the performance outstanding. Our In Command daughters have beautiful udders with small teat size. He is an udder improver. These cattle are sound on their feet and legs and we believe the longevity of the bulls will be second to none. You don t have to guess at how these bulls will grow out, just look at their two year old brothers in this sale. 25 Drake Bull A60 Drake Scream n Red S&J Black Bodacious Drake Scream ASA#2828603 Black Baldy Polled Purebred Birth: 3-10-13 Tattoo: A60 Adj.

Friday, April 4, Centerville, Iowa Yearling Bulls by Tess Rampage These Rampage bulls are a complete outcross to anything in the United States. We selected Rampage at Tessier Simmentals in Canada to add outcross bloodlines, extra fleshing ability, Canadian growth with calving ease and his very attractive appearance for a Canadian bull. He has done everything we hoped for. We are especially impressed with his calving ease, we have never assisted a Rampage calf at birth. The performance is outstanding and we love the extra fleshing ability they display. 32 Drake Rampage A12 ASA#2742099 Black Polled Purebred Birth: 2-3-13 Tattoo: A12 Adj. BW: 83 Adj.

Explanation of How to Utilize API and TI Indexes First, determine which index to use; if you re keeping replacements use API, if not, TI. Then, just as with, zero in on the unit difference between bulls. (As described to the left, index units are in dollars per cow exposed.) The difference can be used to determine how much a bull is worth compared to another. Or, put another way, how much you can pay for one bull compared to another. For example, when buying an allpurpose-type sire, you can quickly figure a bull scoring +100 for API is worth an extra $6,000 over a $50 bull if both are exposed to 30 cows over 4 years ($50 diff. x 30 hd. x 4 yr. = $6,000). A percentile-ranking chart is required to determine where a bull s index value ranks him relative to other bulls in the breed. For more information, visit www.simmental.org.
