Not just your average cattle sale

This weekend we will be attending a cattle sale in Lineville, AL at Upchurch Angus Farm. Jason and BriAnna Upchurch are one of our cattle partners along with my father-in-law, Marc Renwick. We will be exhibiting and showing cattle at a local county show this Friday night. Then we hope to get a few hours of sleep before heading to Alabama.

We have five bulls and five females in the sale in conjunction with the Upchurch’s. The feature bull is listed as Lot 1. He is Upchurch Everlasting 253 MR and a bull that is owned by the Renwick’s as well as the Upchurch’s. I like this bull for numerous reasons. First of all, he has a low birth weight (-0.7) and high calving ease direct (+9) which makes he great for virgin heifers as well as adult cattle. He is also a great bull to add pounds to your herd with a WW EPD of +67 and YW EPD of +103. We will be selling 2016 spring possession and 1/3 semen interest. He has already produced high quality semen and we already have some of his calves on the ground.

The females are sired by Resource, Priority, Volume, Nationwide, and Grass Master. The yearling Resource heifer is as fancy as you’ll find in the Southeast. Two sisters to our herd sire Upchurch Volume 422 MR SCC are also featured that would make great additions to any herd.  If you’re looking for practical, predictable genetics, without sacrificing performance, you have found the place!

If you have any questions feel free to call or email us with questions!
