2021 SEBES Lot 04 - Butcher Branch Angus

One of Butcher Branch Angus’ consignments for the Southeast Bull Expo this coming weekend!

BBA Legend 804 is a bull to take a hard look at. Out of a first calf heifer by Active Duty by VAR Legend, he sure checks a lot of boxes. Most impressively he posted an adjusted weaning weight of 812 lbs and an actual yearling weight of 1240 lbs. This bull expresses great length and depth of rib as well. Look for offspring to do the same.

It’s Calving Season

When we say, “It’s calving season”, there are lots of things that need to be done on a daily basis. We try and check our herds at least once a day, lots of times twice. While checking, we count cows, check existing calves to make sure they are healthy, check for signs of labor.

Once a cow has had her calf, we need to catch it to weigh it, tag it, take a DNA sample and check to see if it is a bull or heifer.

This video will show you how we do those 4 things…video credit to my daughter 😁

Our second pair consigned to the North Carolina Angus Association Spring Fever Sale is BBA Boulder 609, a Tehama Tahoe daugher with a Mogck Entice heifer calf a side. 609’s pedigree is loaded with maternal sires like Image Maker and MCC Daybreak and her EPDs show strong maternal value with a $M in the top 2% and a $W in the top 4%.
The mating with Entice added a ton of carcass value to this calf’s EPDs with ribeye and marbling now in the top 20% and all $ indexes in the top 25% with most being in the top 10%.
She sells as Lot 4 and 4A

Beautiful sunset while we tag a few calves

Another day...another baby!

Welcome to this little heifer calf! And a big thank you to her momma, 616, who was gracious enough to let me get so close this morning! These cows have been born and raised here on our farm and have learned to trust us since day 1. This makes raising cattle so much easier on us here. Michael Wyatt

Calving season is upon us. Many exciting pregnancies this year! Doing our part to raise them right.

This is one of our spring commercial pairs. Calves were weaned this week. Look for this calf and others like it as replacement females next spring at the UCCA March Madness Sale in Chester, SC.

08/11/2020

We have had several Deer Valley Growth Fund calves this year. To say we are pleased is an understatement. I think this heifer is going to be a keeper.

07/17/2020

Sunrise this morning. Just like that I am reminded who is in control. Thank you lord for another beautiful day!

I snapped this picture this evening while out feeding. This is a Generation daughter we bought from Scarlett Farms 1 1/2 years ago as an open heifer. We brought her home and bred her to Bub’s Southern Charm. September 14th she had this bull calf unassisted with an 83 lb. birthweight and bred back AI in December. The bull calf is still 2 weeks away from his 205 day weigh in. Can’t wait to see what the future holds for these two.

03/10/2020

If you are looking for some nice purebred commercial angus females, please take a look at our consignments at the UCCA March Madness sale this Saturday, March 14th. We will have two heavy bred spring calving heifers and three open 15 month old heifers.
If you have any questions feel free to let us know.
