Welcome
Quality Genetics Built on a Heritage of Commitment
Dear Friends,
Welcome to our 9th annual Heart River Ranch/Open A Angus production sale. We certainly appreciate your
interest in this years’ offering of bulls and the loyal buyers of our genetics over the years. We can all be grateful
for 2014 for the abundant moisture and hay crop to the good cattle prices and fairly mild winter thus far. I recall at
some point this fall someone said that a year like this could make anyone look like a great manager. However it
is years like this that should require us to take a harder look at all management aspects and prepare for what we
know is a certainty….a return to less conducive weather and economic conditions. With that in mind, our goal is
to bring to our customers… Balanced and Sustainable Genetics for Profi t, Productivity and Performance.
Over the years we have paid attention to details with the focus on providing sustainable genetics by providing
balanced seed stock grown and developed in as natural an environment as possible; no creep, no silage and no
supplementation that would mask the genetic merit or lack of it in any animal. Our cows and bulls run in large
pastures on nature’s grass and water. Consequently, we have tried to keep what you see on sale day as much
as possible what you get down the road to eliminate meltdown of bulls in the breeding pastures, promoting
longevity and pregnancy rates. 50K testing also gives you more accuracy in the animals’ genetic value , as much
as the equivalent to the accuracy you can expect after producing a dozen calves in some cases. We also strive
to include as much performance and EPD information coupled with carcass ultrasound, fertility testing, and strict
selection on the cow side to “take the guess work” out of the bull selection process.
We will have a video of the bulls and carcass ultrasound information available near sale day. Check on line
at www.openaangus.com and www.heartrivergenetics.com for periodic updates. Bulls will be on display at the
development lot 4 miles south of Belfi eld on Highway 85 and then ½ mile west on 40th St SW. You are welcome
to come out and inspect them at any time.
We invite you to join us on Tuesday evening for a complimentary supper at a new location, the feedlot where the
bulls are developed on March 10th, 2015 with an informative program provide by Zoetis Animal Health. Let us
know if we can provide any assistance or answer any questions you have concerning the bulls. Our goal is to
know that you, our customers, are getting a sustainable return to your operation by investing in our bulls. We look
forwarding to having you as our guest on March 10 and 11th, 2014. Thank you for your consideration and past
patronage.

Consistency is key in superior Angus genetics. Active Duty comes from a cow family
RB ACTIVE DUTY 010
that has consistently produced top herd bulls and test station winners. If you want power,
stature, eye appeal and thickness in a moderate birth package it is hard to match Active
Duty.

Right Time has been one of the mainstream sires in the Angus breed for over a decade.
LEACHMAN RIGHT TIME
On Feb 20, 2003, he was laid to rest on the Vermilion Ranch. His service to the beef in-
dustry was one of the most infl uential of any Angus bull. Right Time was the high-selling
bull in the breed in the 1993 sale season bringing $160,000 from Pat Goggins for the Vermilion Ranch in Billings, MT. Right Time has sired some of the highest valued females of the
breed as they continue to be some of the most valuable and sought after in the world.
