Bulls For Sale
|
Voogt Farms is primarily in the purebred Angus Bull supply business. By the use of proven national sires through our intensive Artificial Insemination (A.I.) program, we keep our genetics fresh and retain only the best calves for potential breeding bulls.
A.I. bulls are selected for balanced genetic traits. Almost all of our bull customers can use more marbling and tenderness, so we design the bulls to excel in those traits. Easy calving, explosive growth, and red meat yield are vital, and cows must have lots of milk and the ability to raise a good calf on time every year.
By the extensive use of A.I., the cow herd is made up of easy calvers, and calving assistance is now rare at Voogt Farms. The cows are mostly daughters of Bon View New Design 1407, Mytty In Focus, and SAV Net Worth 4200.
The 2011 calves are by TC Aberdeen 759, SAV Final Answer 0035, and our own VF Objective 1407 822, VF Direction Analyst 917, and VF Net Worth Bando 927 herd sires.
The 2012 winter calves will be by Connealy Right Answer 746, S Chisum 6175, Connealy Thunder, SAV Bismarck 5682, and our own VF 1407 Net Worth 008, VF 1407 Net Worth 013, and VF Objective 061 herd sires.
All bulls are enrolled in competitive testing programs. We maintain a bull test facility here at the farm and also participate in the MCA/MSU Bull Test. Either source is handy for our loyal Michigan customers. We also have been long time participators in the bull test program of Purdue University at the Bedford, Indiana test facility. Through these programs, Voogt Farms has sold bulls into 6 states.
The MCA/MSU bull test sale is always held in March, and the Purdue/Indiana sale in April. Bulls are for sale here at the farm, featuring January and February yearlings and sometimes proven two year olds we used on our own herd when they were yearlings. Please call for current availability.
In 2010, we were honored to sell two Angus Bulls for export to Mexico.
Genetic EPD profiles on our bulls are now available directly from the American Angus Association by going to www.angus.org and click on Data Search>EPD/Pedigree Look Up and enter bull’s registration number, then EPD percentiles in middle of page.
