2026 Barker Cattle Company by Julie Murnin

Welcome to the Sale...

Dear Friends and Fellow Cattlemen:

We extend a warm welcome as we approach our Annual Bull & Female Production Sale on February 24th in Burley, Idaho. We are sincerely grateful for your friendship and continued support of our program, and we look forward to the good things ahead. For more than 40 years, Barker Cattle Company has focused on developing moderate-framed, easy-fleshing, low-maintenance, calving-ease cattle—without sacrificing growth, feed efficiency, or the soundness needed to travel and thrive in western conditions. While today’s industry rewards heavy, fat steers, we know the pocketbook demands smaller, more efficient cows. Our answer has been to raise efficient cows and high-performance calves using Simmental-influenced bulls and females. We have worked diligently to improve our herd with genetics that support these performance goals and desirable trait combinations.

We value cattle that excel on paper with strong, big-spread data—but just as importantly, cattle that look the part. Phenotype matters, and these critical traits should never be sacrificed. That philosophy is clearly reflected in this year’s sale offering. We strongly believe in genetic testing as a tool to help us reach our goals and to assist our customers in selecting bulls that fit their programs. This year’s SimAngus and Simmental bulls have been DNA tested and feature Genomic-Enhanced EPDs, while our purebred Angus bulls have been 50K DNA tested. Each year we aim to raise a better set than the last, and this group has truly set a high bar.

We are thankful for our family, friends, and everyone who has supported us along the way. We invite you to visit our website and social media pages to follow our progress. We extend an open invitation to come view the bulls and females before sale day—we’re confident you’ll like what you see.

We hope to see you on February 24th, but if you’re unable to attend in person, every sale animal has been videoed and will be available for viewing on our website. The sale will once again be broadcast via DVAuction. If you have any questions about the process, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

Thank you for your interest. We look forward to visiting with you.

Sincerely,

The Barker Cattle Company Crew

Marketing Your Feeder Calves

Here at Barker Cattle Company, we want to help you increase the value of your calves. To do this, we’ve joined Allied Genetic Resources to help give our customers access to more markets. Allied Genetic Resources has established a network of over 20+ (and growing) Allied Feeding Partners that feed over 4 million head of cattle per year. These feedlots are looking for cattle that grow and hit grid specs. By purchasing Barker Cattle Company Genetics, the Allied Feeding Partners will be interested in your calves. Let us know when you plan to market your cattle and let us see what we can do to help you gain more value for your calves.

Calving Ease and Heifer Bulls

Barker Cattle Company is very serious about providing our customers with bulls possessing adequate calving ease credentials. We have learned that calving ease is not an exact science where a given mating always brings guaranteed results. We have also learned however that EPDs, blood line trends, and low birth weights can be predictive and when used collectively can greatly assist the breeder in his bull selection.

We have talked with all the breed associations we affiliate with and have asked them what their standards are to qualify a bull as a “heifer bull”. Most of the breeds will not discuss a set of standards with you. To summarize the collective answers we received, we must conclude that anything under breed average is generally considered qualifying as Calving Ease. We think most seed stock breeders are hesitant to use the “heifer bull” designation too loosely. We know we certainly are. We would strongly suggest that when EPDs are considered, a positive CE preferably in the +5 range and above is very desirable and a low BW EPD in the +2.5 range and below, even into the negative range, should be what a bull buyer looks for if calving ease is important to him/her.

Also, when selecting a calving ease bull, we suggest the birth weight ought to be in the low 80’s and preferably 80 pounds or below. Birth weight has so many causative variables that it should not be used as the sole calving ease determinate by itself. The new 50K testing serves as a great qualifier regarding calving ease and this data is given in percentiles. This data will be available on all PB Angus bulls on sale day as a supplement sheet and their HD50K enhanced test results are reflected in the catalog EPDs.

American Simmental Association Quick Reference to EPDs, Indexes and $Values

All-Purpose Index (API): Dollars per cow exposed under an all-purpose-sire scenario.

Birth Weight (BW): Pounds of birth weight.

Calving Ease (CE): Percent of unassisted births when used on heifers.

Carcass Weight (CW): Pounds of carcass weight at 475 days.

Docility (DOC): Percent of offspring receiving a disposition score of 1 (docile).

Maternal Calving Ease (MCE): Percent of unassisted births in first-calving daughters.

Milk (MLK): Pounds of weaning weight due to milk.

Marbling (MARB): Carcass marbling score at 475 days.

Maternal Weaning Weight (MWW): Pounds of weaning weight due to milk and growth.

Ribeye Area (REA): Square inches of carcass ribeye at 475 days.

Terminal Index (TI): Dollars per cow exposed under a terminal-sire scenario.

Weaning Weight (WW): Pounds of weaning weight.

Yearling Weight (YW): Pounds of yearling weight.

Yield Grade (YG): Carcass yield grade score at 475 days.

Horned/Polled Status

Homo: Homozygous

Hetero: Heterozygous

Homozygous polled means this animal has no horns, an all offspring from the animal will be born without horns. Pp = Heterozygous polled means this animal does not have horns, but offspring may or may not have horns depending on their mate.

Sc=Scurs are incompletely developed horns that aren’t attached to the calf’s skull, but are visible on their skin.

If an animal has two polled genes(PP), homozygous, or one polled and one horned gene (Pp), heterozygous, it will be polled. However, if it is heterozygous polled (Pp) it may pass either the polled or horned gene on to its’ offspring. The only situation when an animal will be horned is when it possesses two recessive horned genes (pp), homozygous horned.

American Angus Association EPD Definitions

Calving Ease Direct (CED), is expressed as a difference in percentage of unassisted births, with a higher value indicating greater calving ease in first-calf heifers. It predicts the average difference in ease with which a sire’s calves will be born when he is bred to first-calf heifers.

Birth Weight EPD (BW EPD), expressed in pounds, is a predictor of a sire’s ability to transmit birth weight to his progeny compared to that of other sires.

Weaning Weight EPD (WW EPD), expressed in pounds, is a predictor of a sire’s ability to transmit weaning growth to his progeny compared to that of other sires.

Yearling Weight EPD (YW EPD), expressed in pounds, is a predictor of a sire’s ability to transmit yearling growth to his progeny compared to that of other sires.

Maternal Milk EPD (Milk), is a predictor of a sire’s genetic merit for milk and mothering ability as expressed in his daughters compared to daughters of other sires. In other words, it is that part of a calf’s weaning weight attributed to milk and mothering ability.

Carcass Weight EPD (CW), expressed in pounds is a predictor of the differences in hot carcass weight of a sire’s progeny compared to progeny of other sires.

Marbling EPD (Marb), expressed as a fraction of the difference in USDA marbling score of a sire’s progeny compared to progeny of other sires.

Ribeye Area EPD (RE), expressed in square inches, is a predictor of the difference in ribeye area of a sire’s progeny compared to progeny of other sires.

Weaned Calf Value ($W), an index value expressed in dollars per head, is the expected average difference in future progeny performance for preweaning merit. $W includes both revenue and cost adjustments associated with differences in birth weight, weaning direct growth, maternal milk, and mature cow size.

Feedlot Value ($F), an index value expressed in dollars per head, is the expected average difference in future progeny performance for postweaning merit compared to progeny of other sires.

Grid Value ($G), an index value expressed in dollars per head, is the expected average difference in future progeny performance for carcass grid merit compared to progeny of other sires.

Beef Value ($B), an index value expressed in dollars per head, is the expected average difference in future progeny performance for postweaning and carcass value compared to progeny of other sires.

Improved Buying Conﬁdence with Greater Genomic ASSURANCE

Access to more and better information has always been key to making wise decisions. The evolution and improvement of genetic evaluation tools too has given us an ever-clearer picture of the true genetic makeup of cattle and thus a better view of the value proposition. RightMate, powered by Top Genomics LLC is taking the evaluation of genetics and genomics one giant step further. By combining speci c genomic information with the long-proven value of EPDs, this new advancement in technology improves our depth and precision when evaluating the actual ability to transmit value and pro t.

What this means to you as a customer is a much greater assurance that you are getting both what you want and need from the genetics you purchase. What it means to your seedstock provider is access to RightMate technology that simply sets them apart from the rest of the industry.

ACCREDITED GENOMIC PLUS – For the majority of producers who simply need consistent and balanced genetic improvement, without genomic setbacks, G+ Accredited bulls should be on your list for premium purchase. These sires will absolutely move you forward for both cost reduction and income producing traits and substantially reduce risk when compared to all other evaluation programs. It’s simple, the right genes are in these bulls to help secure a pro table future and the they have great EPDs to match!

ACCREDITED CALVING EASE – Simply nd bulls with the ACE logo for third party Accredited, secure Calving Ease bulls. Though we have had tools in the past to assist in choosing heifer bulls, we’ve never had one nearly this e ective. The reduced risk that comes with this genomic certi cation will simply make your decisions easier and your heifer calving season more successful. Purchase special purpose ACE bulls with con dence. They will deliver consistent and predictable calving ease.

ACCREDITED TERMINAL MATE – Just like an ATM machine makes it simpler to access your cash, the ATM Logo highlights bulls accredited to generate extra cash income as soon as your next calf crop! These bulls are meant speci cally to use only on mature cows and for the purpose of adding performance, pay weight and end product value to market.

Welcome to the 2026 edition of the Barker Cattle Company Production Sale. What a year to be in the cattle business! It is nice to see cow calf producers in the driver’s seat and able to benefit from these record high prices. As we all know, the cow herd is at historically low levels. Heifer retention has not yet begun, so, these prices should last for a couple of more years. Now is the time to invest in the best genetics to continue to advance the quality of your herd.

It is exciting to see the bulls and females making great strides in quality and genetic advancements over the years. This is without a doubt the strongest and deepest set of bulls and females ever offered by Barker Cattle Company. Once again, the bulls have all been RightChoice tested to aid in your selection decisions. The RightChoice logos uses DNA as well as EPD evaluations to evaluate the bulls for their individual traits and sorts them for their strengths in growth, maternal and calving ease. This adds an additional layer of confidence that the bull you are purchasing will meet your breeding expectations. For more information, please refer to page 4 of this catalog or reach out anyone on the Allied team.

As stated above, this is without a doubt the strongest set ever offered and with that you will see a slight change in the order of how the bulls are listed in this catalog. With larger sire groups that are more consistent in quality they are cataloged more by sire group than in the past. This will allow you as a buyer to see and compare sons out of a preferred sire more easily. So, with that said we have good bulls throughout this catalog from front to back. Hopefully you agree with me that there is quality on every page of this sale book.

If you have any questions about the offering or need assistance on sale day please contact any of us on the Allied team.

Sincerely, Marty Ropp, Corey Wilkins and Jared Murnin

Beef Judging Day

Barker Cattle Company is proud to support our youth in agriculture. We are pleased to sponsor a beef judging day in the fall in conjunction with our Online Show Steer & Heifer sale. FFA Chapters and youth individuals are invited to come to the ranch in Elba and place pens of steers, heifers, & bull calves. Prizes are awarded to high individuals as well as teams. It is a great opportunity to evaluate cattle and learn more about the judging process. If you have any questions, please contact Sally 208-312-5571 or Aubrey 208-681-7891.
