Red Angus Top-Selling Lot BOONES MILL, Va. The first offering of Red Angus certified feeder calves in a Virginia Cattlemen’s Association sponsored Tel-O-Auction was Nov. 17. There were approxi mately 1,000 mostly black and black white-faced feeders in that sale, but the top selling lot was a group of Red Angus influenced steer calves. Then on Nov. 2, the second appearance of Red Angus cer tified feeders in a Virginia Tel-O-Auction had history repeat ing itself. Red Angus sired steers (average weight 500 pounds) were the top selling lot from about 700 predomi nately black Angus feeders. The single lot of Red Angus heifers were also the top selling heifers. Red Angus excel in the feedlot and on the rail, and are eli gible for numerous premium branded “Angus” beef products. (Such as “Imperial Angus Beef,” “Supreme Angus Beef,” “Premium Gold Angus," “Angus Pride,” “Sterling Silver,” etc.) Of additional interest, the feedlot owner who bought last year’s top-selling lot returned this year. After spirited bid ding, he bought every Red Angus-sired steer offered in the sale. Red Angus breeders welcome commercial cattlemen into this “win-wm” program. If you currently produce red-hided cattle, you know what the red-hide discount is. The simple switch to using a registered Red Angus bull in your herd may move your calves from discount to premium. The Tel-O-Auction format is ideal for the breeder with a small number of calves. These calves are graded on the farm and delivered to a central location after the sale to be com mingled with those of similar weight from other producers. It gives everyone the advantage of selling their cattle at load lot prices.
