Our Guarantee
2 Bar C Ranch
2 BAR C GUARANTEE
- ALL ANIMALS SOLD IN ANY OF OUR PRODUCTION SALES AND BY PRIVATE TREATY
- 2 Bar C guarantees that all breeding cattle are fertile to the best of our knowledge.
- If a bull gets injured or rendered functionally infertile at any time in the 12 months following the purchase date, we will provide a replacement or issue a credit equal to the bull’s purchase price less the salvage value.
- If a female proves to be a non-breeder at any time in the 12 months following the purchase date, we will offer the buyer the difference between her purchase price and the salvage value as a credit in a future 2 Bar C production or Private Treaty sale.
HERD HEALTH
“I have worked as a veterinarian for 2 Bar C for more than a decade. I have been impressed as their operation has continued to improve and grow during this time period. The animals are handled in the right way on foot, ATVs, and horseback. Animals that aren't docile are culled. Their working facility is top notch. All cattle at 2 Bar C are taken care of properly from the time of birth. Good vaccine protocols are in place, as well as great nutrition and mineral programs. I highly recommend 2 Bar C to anyone looking for Angus cattle.”
Garrett Montgomery, DVM
2 BAR C BREEDING SELECTION PROCESS
- 2 Bar C focuses on producing bulls with the needs of the commercial cattleman in mind.
- We start by selecting from the top 5% of our females each year, as well as adding donor prospects that meet our standards to achieve exceptional EPD performance traits. This process gives us remarkable results when it comes to reproducing our cutting-edge, genetically superior breeding stock on a large scale.
- We critically evaluate and match our breeding selections with the top 5%, or better, of proven sires to ensure that our bulls will perform in every aspect to satisfy your breeding needs.
- Developing females with EPD traits for the Purebred Angus seed stock producer is a top priority during the selection process. We consider the fact that many of our future females, which will be used as replacements, need to achieve high maternal traits and continue enabling each next generation to demonstrate improved genetic performance.
BREEDING SOUNDNESS EXAMINATION
-
At birth, each calf has blood drawn and sent to the American Angus Association for DNA parentage and any other required testing. Additional blood tests are conducted during the first year to rule out any situations that would render the animal inferior for breeding purposes. Each animal receives a breeding soundness examination, and bulls are fertility tested.
ULTRA SOUND DATA
-
All calves are weighed at birth to ensure accurate birth weights. At weaning, calves are weighed again, and measurements are taken for EPD data. During the yearling measurement period, all animals get weighed, measured and ultrasound data is gathered. The data on each animal is transmitted to the American Angus Association to allow for EPD data to be updated. These protocols ensure that the most accurate data on each animal is recorded and provided at time of purchase. .
GROWSAFE DATA
- Our breeding program focuses on developing calving ease genetics with tremendous acceleration in weight gain at weaning and achieving top performance in the feedlot. In 2016 we began putting about 50% of our bulls on a GrowSafe program to collect individual performance data. In 2018, we added 100% of our bulls into the program.
- What is GrowSafe and why is that important for us and you? The GrowSafe program gives us specific individual data on each animal by measuring their daily intake and weight gain. The data gathered allows us and prospective buyers to select more efficient genetic performance. Better feed efficiency puts more dollars in your pocket. While this collection of data adds cost to the developmental process, the true actual date on each animal will allow us and our customers to predict feedlot performance in their calves. This hard data helps to maximize your profitability.
LOYALTY DISCOUNT
We appreciate our buyers! An added benefit of purchasing from 2 BAR C is that we offer repeat customers who purchased another animal during the preceding 12 months a 5% discount on all purchases made either in a production sale or Private Treaty sale.
- The 5% discount is determined after all other credits have been applied to the sale price.
- Buyers become eligible for a repeat-buyer discount by making an animal purchase from us in our Annual Production Sale or through a Private Treaty sale. Once an animal purchase has been made, the repeat-buyer discount eligibility is available for the next 12 months.
2 Bar C Progeny Buy Back Program
- All Bull progeny from the approved bulls from our Annual Production Sales or private treaty sales qualify for a $.10 premium above market price at the time of sale. Clyde or Ben can meet with you to look at your cow herd and go over our program. (We use the Gonzales Livestock Published Market Report for pricing.)
- All progeny from any past 2 Bar C bull purchase qualify for our standard buyback at market price with no shrink or fees.
- Calves need to have been weaned for a minimum of 35 days and have had the following Vaccination Protocol: Calves at 90 days, VRD, Black Leg, Dewormed. At 120 Days, repeat the same round. 2 weeks post weaning treat with Bovishield Gold FP5, Black Leg and Dewormer.
