Bobcat Angus
Online Embryo Sale Thursday, October 22, 2020
We welcome you to the first Bobcat Angus embryo auction! These donors have produced some of our top sires in the recent years including Musgrave Big Sky and Bobcat Blue Sky. The mating’s listed are not chosen off fads or a numbers game. We have strategically chosen these sires to advance our production-based program which is strongly based on phenotype and performance. Balanced EPDs play a role in our selection, with a strong emphasis on performance and maternal EPDs. Carcass traits and $B have become more important as we look to increase the marketability of our commercial cattle. It is these same principles that have also kept us in the commercial cattle business for over 35 years. We hope that you will find that these embryos will add a positive difference to your program. Through the strong EPDs and proven performance of our genetics, we are confident these genetics will increase your marketability in your program as we have seen in our own registered business. We hope you can join us on www.AngusLive.com on October 22, 2020. Please feel free to contact us anytime via phone or text. We look forward to helping you find genetics to add value to your herd! Sincerely, Bryan Ratzburg Cole Ratzburg
