DELANEY/ATKINS
saturday,
Welcome
What a great time to be in the cattle business! Feed is cheap, cattle are selling well and the consumer wants to eat beef!!
Now is the time to make genetic improvements and keep your foot on the gas making quality beef. Take advantage of heterosis, docility, feed efficiency, and improved carcass traits that will help prepare your herd for the future.
These bulls offer a well-balanced set of EPDs, strengthened by genomic testing that provides the highest level of accuracy available. On page 7 you’ll find the EPD profile of the sale bulls is better than breed average in almost every area, and far better in the traits of Birth Weight, Weaning and Yearling growth, Cow Fertility, Milk, Udder, Teat quality and carcass traits. The AVERAGE of our sale bulls ranks in the top 10% of the breed for Weaning Weight and Yearling Weight and in the top 5% for Udder and Teat quality.
Our focus continues to be on breeding sound cattle with performance, muscle, pigment, eye appeal and acceptable birth weights. We demand fertility and superior production from our cows with an emphasis on udder quality. We have done our best to acquire the top genetics around the country as well as retain and inject our best genetics into our program to offer you the very best we
You will also notice many of the bulls are designated with the CHB logos. CHB signifies that the bull is in the top 50% of the breed, and the CHB ELITE signifies animals in the top 25% of the breed for producing feeder cattle that will excel in the economically relevant traits of gain, feed efficiency and carcass merit when mated to Angus cows.
We understand that finding a place to house a new herd bull in February can be a challenge, so we are happy to keep any bull you purchase on feed until April 1, 2026 – free of charge. All the bulls will be semen tested and are fully guaranteed.
If you can’t make the sale feel free to call us or one of the sale staff or you can bid on LiveAuctions.TV the day of the sale.
Thank you to all our customers for your past purchases, friendship and the confidence you have shown our program. We look forward to working with you in the future.

University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign study:
In heifers, Hereford sired females had a 14% advantage in first-calf weaning rate compared to straight Angus.
With a $2,500 price tag per calf that’s a $350 advantage per heifer. When breeding those heifers back, the F1 Baldys had an 18% advantage in pregnancy rate compared to their straight Angus counterparts.
University of Tennessee:
Over a 10 year period using Hereford bulls on commercial Angus cows nets $90 per cow per year more on a 500-cow herd and $76 per cow per year more on a 30 cow herd when compared to Angus on Angus.
U.S. Animal Research Center:
Based on feed efficiency alone - Hereford has a $51 per head advantage over the feeding period when compared to Angus.
Oklahoma State University:
Hereford sired F1 females required 2 pounds less forage per day while maintaining more body condition.
Harris Ranch Heterosis Research Study:
7% higher pregnancy rate in Hereford sired black baldy females compared to straight Angus.
$90 more per cow per year in net present value (2023 calculation).
3.5% more average return on assets.
Hereford sired black baldy steers:
Heavier weaning weights
Increased feed efficiency
Lower cost of gain
Lower feedlot breakeven
$28 per head less feed cost across finishing period

A HOMOZYGOUS POLLED BULL
100% of calves will be polled, regardless of cow horn genotype.
It is safe to assume that long term straight bred Angus cows are homozygous polled. With that assumption, it leads to more opportunities to use heterozygous polled and even horned bulls.
ll bulls will be semen tested and examined by our vet for breeding soundness by April 1st.
e’ll have bulls in tip-top shape, ready for your cows come Spring!

BottomLine
Evaluated as a group, the average bull in our 2026 sale is genetically superior to the average Hereford bull in nearly every measured trait.
s a group, these bulls:
Are well below breed average for Birth Weight, meaning more calving ease. They’re well above breed average for growth at weaning and yearling, so calves They excel in cow-making traits—fertility, milk production, udder structure, and teat quality—meaning daughters that stay productive and low-maintenance. They’re also strong in carcass traits, adding value at the rail.
Bottom Line
You’re not sorting through a few good bulls in an average set—you’re choosing from a deep, consistent offering of bulls that are genetically elite where it matters most for both the cow herd and the feeder pen. That’s the Delaney/Atkins Advantage!

Understanding Hereford EPDs
The American Hereford Association (AHA) currently produces expected progeny differences (EPDs) for 17 traits and calculates three profit indexes. AHA’s genetic evaluation makes use of a Marker Effects Model that allows the calculation of EPDs by incorporating the pedigree, phenotypic and genomic profile of an animal. Animals that have a genomic profile will be denoted with a GE-EPD logo.
The current suite of Hereford EPDs and profit indexes includes:
Calving Ease — Direct (CE)
CE EPD is based on calving ease scores and birth weights and is measured on a percentage. CE EPD indicates the influence of the sire on calving ease in females calving at 2 years of age. For example, if sire A has a CE EPD of 6 and sire B has a CE EPD of -2, then you would expect on average, if comparably mated, sire A’s calves would have an 8 percent more likely chance of unassisted calving when compared to sire B’s calves.
Birth Weight (BW)
BW EPD is an indicator trait for calving ease and is measured in pounds. For example, if sire A has a BW EPD of 3.6 and sire B has a BW EPD of 0.6, then you would expect on average, if comparably mated, sire A’s calves would come 3 lb. heavier at birth when compared to sire B’s calves. Larger BW EPDs usually, but not always, indicate more calving difficulty. The figure in parentheses found after each EPD is an accuracy value or reliability of the EPD.
Weaning Weight (WW)
WW EPD is an estimate of pre-weaning growth that is measured in pounds. For example, if sire A has a WW EPD of 60 and sire B has a WW EPD of 40, then you would expect on average if comparably mated, sire A’s calves would weigh 20 lb. heavier at weaning when compared to sire B’s calves.
Yearling Weight (YW)
YW EPD is an estimate of post-weaning growth that is measured in pounds. For example, if sire A has a YW EPD of 100 and sire B has a YW EPD of 70, then you would expect on average if comparably mated, sire A’s calves would weigh 30 lb. heavier at a year of age when compared to sire B’s calves.
Dry Matter Intake (DMI)
The DMI EPD predicts the daily consumption of pounds of feed. For example, if sire A has a DMI EPD of 1.1 and sire B has a DMI EPD of 0.1, you would expect sire B’s progeny, if comparably mated, to consume on average 1 pound of feed less per day.
Scrotal Circumference (SC)
Measured in centimeters and adjusted to 365 days of age, SC EPD is the best estimate of fertility. It is related to the bull’s own semen quantity and quality, and is also associated with age at puberty of sons and daughters. Larger SC EPDs suggest younger age at puberty. Yearling sons of a sire with a 0.7 SC EPD should have yearling scrotal circumference measurements that average 0.7 centimeters (cm) larger than progeny by a bull with an EPD of 0.0 cm.
Sustained Cow Fertility
The AHA’s new SCF EPD is a prediction of a cow’s ability to continue to calve from three years of age through 12 years of age, given she calved as a two-year-old. The EPD is expressed as a deviation in the proportion of the 10 possible calvings to 12 years old expressed as a probability. For example, the daughters of a bull with a 30 EPD would have the genetic potential to have one more calf by age 12 than the daughters from a bull with a 20 EPD. In other words, the daughters from the 30 EPD bull would have a 10% greater probability of having one more calf than the bull with a 20 EPD. This is equivalent to saying that the daughters are 10% more likely to remain in the herd to age 12.
Maternal Milk (MM)
The MM EPD of a sire’s daughters is expressed in pounds of calf weaned. It predicts the difference in average weaning weights of sires’ daughters’ progeny due to milking ability. Daughters of the sire with a +14 MM EPD should produce progeny with 205-day weights averaging 24 lb. more (as a result of greater milk production) than daughters of a bull with a MM EPD of -10 lb. (14 minus -10.0 = 24 lb.). This difference in weaning weight is due to total milk production during the entire lactation.
Maternal Milk & Growth (M&G)
The M&G EPD reflects what the sire is expected to transmit to his daughters for a combination of growth genetics through weaning and genetics for milking ability. It is an estimate of the daughter’s progeny weaning weight. A bull with a 29 lb. M&G EPD should sire daughters with progeny weaning weights averaging 19 lb. heavier than progeny of a bull’s daughters with a M&G EPD of 10 lb. (29 minus 10 = 19 lb.). It is equal to one-half the sire’s weaning weight EPD, plus all of his MM EPD. No accuracy is associated with this since it is simply a mathematical combination of two other EPDs. It is sometimes referred to as “total maternal” or “combined maternal.”
Maternal Calving Ease (MCE)
MCE EPD predicts how easily a sire’s daughters will calve at two years of age and is measured on a percentage. For example, if sire A has a MCE EPD of 7 and sire B has a CE EPD of -3, then you would expect on average if comparably mated, sire A’s daughters would calve with a 10% more likely chance of being unassisted when compared to sire B’s daughters.
Mature Cow Weight (MCW)
The MCW EPD was designed to help breeders select sires that will either increase or decrease mature size of cows in the herd. The trait was developed after years of cow weight data collection and the EPD relates directly to the maintenance requirements of a cow herd. For example, if sire A has a MCW EPD of 100 and sire B has an EPD of 85, then you would expect the females of sire A, if comparably mated, to be 15 lb. heavier at mature size.
Udder suspension (UDDR)
UDDR EPDs are reported on a 9 (very tight) to 1 (very pendulous) scoring scale. Differences in sire EPDs predict the difference expected in the sires’ daughters’ udder characteristics when managed in the same environment.
EPDS
For example, if sire A has a UDDR EPD of 0.4, and sire B has a UDDR EPD of -0.1, the difference in the values is 0.5, or one-half of a score. If daughters of sires A and B are raised and managed in the same environment, you would expect half a score better udder suspension in daughters of sire A, compared to sire B.
Teat size (TEAT)
TEAT EPDs are reported on a 9 (very small) to 1 (very large, balloon shaped) scoring scale. Differences in sire EPDs predict the difference expected in the sires’ daughters’ udder characteristics when managed in the same environment.
For example, if sire A has a teat size EPD of 0.4, and sire B has a teat size EPD of -0.1, the difference in the values is 0.5, or one-half of a score. If daughters of sires A and B are raised and managed in the same environment, you would expect half a score smaller teat size in daughters of sire A, compared to sire B.
Carcass Weight (CW)
CW EPD is a beneficial trait when considering the impact that pounds have relative to end product value. At the same age constant endpoint, sires with higher values for carcass weight will add more pounds of hot carcass weight compared to sires with lower values for carcass weight. For example, if sire A has a CW EPD of 84 and sire B has a CW EPD 64, then you would expect the progeny of sire A, if harvested at the same age constant endpoint, to have a 20-lb. advantage in terms of hot carcass weight.
Rib Fat (FAT)
The FAT EPD reflects differences in adjusted 365-day, 12th-rib fat thickness based on carcass measurements of harvested cattle. Sires with low, or negative FAT EPDs, are expected to produce leaner progeny than sires with higher EPDs. Ultrasound measures are also incorporated into this trait and have been shown to be highly correlated with the performance of slaughter progeny. All data is expressed on a carcass scale.
Ribeye Area (REA)
REA EPDs reflect differences in an adjusted 365-day ribeye area measurement based on carcass measurements of harvested cattle. Sires with relatively higher REA EPDs are expected to produce better- muscled and higher percentage yielding slaughter progeny than will sires with lower REA EPDs. Ultrasound measurements are also incorporated into this trait and have been shown to be highly correlated with the performance of slaughter progeny. All data is expressed on a carcass scale.
Marbling (MARB)
MARB EPDs reflect differences in an adjusted 365-day marbling score (intramuscular fat, [IMF]) based on carcass measurements of harvested cattle. Breeding cattle with higher MARB EPDs should produce slaughter progeny with a higher degree of IMF and therefore higher quality grades. Ultrasound measurements are also incorporated into this trait and have been shown to be highly correlated with the performance of slaughter progeny. All data is expressed on a carcass scale.
Baldy Maternal Index (BMI$)
The BMI$ is a maternally focused index that is based on a production system that uses Hereford x Angus cross cows. Progeny of these cows are directed towards Certified Hereford Beef. This index has significant weight on Sustained Cow Fertility, which predicts fertility and longevity of females. There is a slightly positive weight on Weaning Weight, Mature Cow Weight and Milk which accounts for enough growth but ensures females do not increase inputs. There is some negative emphasis on Dry Matter Intake, but a positive weighting on Carcass Weight which is anticipated to provide profitability from finishing of nonreplacement females and castrated males. Marbling and Rib-eye Area are also positively weighted to keep the harvested progeny successful for CHB. This index is geared to identify Hereford bulls that will be profitable when used in a rotational cross with mature commercial Angus cows.
Brahman Influence Index (BII$)
The BII$ is a maternally focused index that is based on a production system that uses Brahman x Hereford cross cows. Progeny of these cows are directed towards a commodity beef market since Certified Hereford Beef© does not accept Brahman influenced cattle. This index has significant weight on Sustained Cow Fertility, which predicts fertility and longevity of females. There is a slightly positive weight on Weaning Weight, Mature Cow Weight and Milk which accounts for enough growth but ensures females do not increase inputs. There is some negative emphasis on Dry Matter Intake, but a positive weighting on Carcass Weight which is anticipated to provide profitability in finishing nonreplacement females and castrated males. Marbling and Rib-eye Area are also positively weighted to keep harvested progeny successful for a variety of commodity based programs. This index targets producers that use Hereford bulls on Brahman influenced cows.
Certified Hereford Beef Index (CHB$) The Certified Hereford Beef Index (CHB$) is a terminal sire index that is built on a production system where Hereford bulls are mated to mature commercial Angus cows where all progeny will be targeted for Certified Hereford Beef after the finishing phase. This index has significant weight on Carcass Weight and Marbling to ensure profit on the rail. As well there is a positive weighting for Average Daily Gain along with a negative weighting on Dry Matter Intake to ensure efficient pounds of growth in the finishing phase. In addition, there is a positive weighting for Rib-eye Area and a negative weighting for Back Fat to maintain desirable Yield Grades. This is the only index that has no emphasis on fertility. Remember that no replacement heifers are being retained.
