Dear Cattle Producers and Friends,

We want to take this opportunity to welcome all of you to our Twin Oaks Angus Farm Bull and Female sale. We are very pleased with the development of the genetics we are offering today.

We know that you are aware of what it takes to stay in the cattle business and the numbers that are the most important to you is the number of dollars made on your cattle. We are confident that you will find the quality offered here will help you in making your cattle purchase decisions.

We appreciate those who have bought bulls from us in the past and look forward to working with you and new buyers.

The cattle were weaned on a high roughage starter ration that was put together by Brad Weaver, cattle consultant for Land O Lakes/Purina Feed. It is a 50 neg balanced ration. We left them on this throughout the development of the bulls and heifers. The bulls were fed to gain 3 to 3 ½ pounds per day and the heifers were fed to gain 2 pounds per day. We do not feel it is good for seed stock to be fed a high energy diet or fed to gain as much weight as they possibly can as we think it hurts the longevity, fertility, and maternal traits they are bred to have.

All our Angus bulls and heifers have been tested negative for PI-BVD. All our Angus bulls and heifers are developed in large dirt lots where they have plenty of room to exercise.
All our Angus bulls must pass a Breeding Soundness Exam given by our area veterinary that also includes a minimum scrotal measurement to qualify for our sale.

We have always put our focus on our cowherd. We know good bulls come from good cows. We do not believe in single trait selection be it birth weight only, milk only, performance only, or carcass only. We strive for balance traits where the offspring show their potential in developing muscle, depth and length of body, easy fleshing, and performance. We have developed our cowherd for 20 years or more where high producing cow families have been identified. We know you still sell cattle by the pound. Muscle weighs more than fat.

First Breeding Season Guarantee
It is with regret, since there is no longer affordable insurance available on breeding bulls, we will no longer be responsible for the injury of the bull for their first breeding season by acts of nature such as lightning or floods, or the management of the buyer for example: in the case that the bull is injured by fighting, or running with multiple bulls, or gets hit from the side while trying to breed cows, or jumps a fence, or comes up lame, or over use of a young bull (over use will be determined by a veterinary), or excessive heat, etc. We cannot control this and will not be responsible.

These bulls will be sold sound and vet inspected. If a problem of soundness is noticed when being sold, it will be announced from the block and the buyer assumes responsibility of his/her purchase if he/she wishes to purchases the bull.

If the Angus bull is not injured, we will guarantee the bull to breed the first breeding season. The first breeding season is defined as a 90-day period when the bull was first turned out. If the bull will not breed and is not injured and is verified as a non breeder by a vet, the buyer will have the option of a replacement bull if available, or 100% of his purchase price as credit toward the purchase of another bull at our next available sale. Full salvage price goes to Twin Oaks Angus Farm.

If there are any questions you have about the cattle, the data collected, or if we can be of any assistance in your selection please contact us.

We sincerely appreciate your interest in our program,

Brian & Ruth, Brad & Jackie Weaver, Josh & Julie Stilley
