Black Angus – 56 Head – BH08252656

Fifty-six Black Angus bred heifers, right around 900 pounds at a year and a half old, bred to Meyer Angus and Leachman bulls and due to calve between May 15 and June 15.

Start with the calving window, because it’s what sets this group apart from most bred heifers on the market. May 15 to June 15 is late spring, and that’s a deliberate advantage for a lot of operations. You’re not checking heifers in February mud at two in the morning. You’re calving on green grass, in mild weather, when a wet newborn calf isn’t fighting the cold to survive. For first-calf heifers especially, that matters. Late-spring calving also cuts your winter feed bill, since the heifers aren’t carrying peak lactation demand through the coldest part of the year.

The tradeoff is honest and worth stating: a May-June calf is a lighter calf at a fall sale than a February calf. Producers who calve late generally know that and are trading weaning weight for lower input cost, easier calving, and better conception on the rebreed. If your program runs on grass rather than stored feed, this window fits.

These heifers are bred to Meyer Angus and Leachman bulls, and the whole group is due inside a 30-day spread. That’s tight for natural service, which means your calving season stays concentrated and the calves come off as a matched group.

Fifty-six head is real volume. This is enough to stock a pasture in a single purchase or to build an entire late-spring calving herd out of one uniform set of females rather than assembling them from several sources.

Health program is 6VL5, Safeguard, Cleanup, and injectable Dectomax. They’ve been on Wind and Rain mineral. These are gentle heifers that can be worked on foot and will follow a feed truck.
