Black Angus, Montana Origin – 55 Head – BH06262655

Fifty-five Black Angus bred heifers of Montana origin, weighing right around 900 pounds at about a year and a half old. They’re AI bred to Vermillion LEO and due to start calving February 28.

That AI breeding is the part worth slowing down on. When a group of heifers is AI bred to a single sire, you get a calf crop that looks alike, hits the ground inside a tight window, and grows out on a similar curve. For a producer building a spring-calving herd, that means one concentrated stretch of checking heifers instead of a calving season that drags on for months. It also means the calves you sell in the fall go down the alley as a uniform group rather than a mixed load.

These heifers came from a Montana background and have been handled accordingly. The disposition note in our records is simple: they can be worked on foot and will follow a feed truck. For anyone who has fought a wild set of heifers through their first calving, that matters as much as any number on this page. Heifers calve better when they’re not stressed, and they’re not stressed when they’re used to people.

The health program on this group is 6VL5, Safeguard, Ivermectin, and injectable Cydectin. Fifty-five head is enough volume to stock a pasture in one purchase or to add a full spring-calving group to an existing herd without mixing in cattle from four different sources.
