Bull Calves
The bull calves offered in this Fall Sale are the top end of the natural and embryo calves out of mature
cows born at Stevenson Angus in January and February. Calves out of first calf heifers are held over
for our spring sale and calves born in March and April will be sold as long yearlings in next year’s Fall
Production Sale.
These calves were all born and raised in Central Montana near Hobson. The calves in this offering were
raised from birth to weaning with no creep. After weaning, the calves are fed a high roughage growing
ration. These bull calves were weaned and weighed from September 7
th
– 9

.
An explanation of the information is printed on page 5 of the catalog. These bulls are members of
large contemporary groups within the Stevenson Angus herd. Because they are grouped by growing
conditions, a ratio of 100 will not necessarily correlate to the same weight between the different groups.
These bulls have all tested BVD-PI negative.
Wintering arrangements are available on bull calves purchased in the sale. For $300 per head,
they will be wintered and delivered after our March bull sale. Wintered bulls will have yearling and
ultrasound data collected and recorded to AHIR. They will also pass a complete breeding soundness
evaluation, including semen test, prior to delivery in the spring.
While these bulls are guaranteed breeders, we recommend that bulls not wintered at Stevenson Angus
be fertility tested by a certified veterinarian prior to use next summer.
RETAINED INTEREST – we are selling FULL POSSESSION and ½ REVENUE-SHARING INTEREST
in every bull in this sale. The bull you purchase is completely in your control regarding how you
handle the bull and your natural service use. You receive 100% salvage value of the bull. Retaining
½ revenue-sharing semen interest simply allows Stevenson Angus the right to share in collection of
semen, use of semen in our herds and the right to share in semen sale revenue if semen sales become a
possibility.
Realistically, we will collect semen on a very small percentage of the bulls selling. It will be an even
smaller number of bulls that will market semen. However, we realize that many promising bulls are
identified after they have proven themselves in natural service. If you have any questions or concerns
about our retained interest policy, please contact Stevenson Angus.
