Black Angus – 30 Head – BC04282630

Thirty Black Angus cows in the 4 to 7 year old range, bred to black bulls and set to calve in the fall, from August 1st through November 1st.

This is a working-age group. Cows aged 4 to 7 years have their first calvings behind them and their productive years ahead. You’re not waiting on them to figure out how to be a mother, and you’re not buying the back end of a cow’s career. For a producer who wants pairs on the ground this fall without first developing replacement heifers, this is the shortest path.

The fall calving window is the other reason to look at this group. Fall calving spreads out your labor and your marketing, and it gives you a second calf crop to sell on a different part of the market calendar. If you already run a spring-calving herd, adding a fall-calving group means your working facilities, your labor, and your feed get used across more of the year instead of all at once. If you’re starting from scratch, a fall group can be easier on a first-time operation than a February calving season.

These cows are bred to black bulls, so expect black calves. The health program on this group is 6VL5, Safeguard, Cleanup, and injectable Dectomax.

Thirty head is a practical number. It’s enough to matter on the balance sheet and small enough that most operations can absorb the group without reworking their whole grazing plan.
