welcome<br />
Dear Friends,<br />
We invite you to join us March 7, 2009, for the Herd Bull and Foundation<br />
Female Sale. The words - Foundation Female Sale - mean just that, as we are<br />
selling our very best. We are offering a great set of outstanding show heifer<br />
prospects and the quality is deeper than ever before.<br />
There will be many great Foundation Brood Cow prospects, some of which will<br />
develop into outstanding donors. We are also offering two proven donor cows<br />
along with several really good young cows with some of the first calves by the<br />
great ONeills Encore, that was the sensation of the 2008 sale.<br />
The Bulls are stronger than ever and many great Herd Bull Prospects sell. We<br />
have always bred Cattle for the Commercial Cattle Industry with Emphasis on<br />
Structural Correctness, Sound Feet and Legs, Extra Volume with Muscle and<br />
Thickness, Pounds with Carcass Quality without Excess Fat, Marbling in the meat<br />
and not Fat on the Meat. Five of the most important Basic Traits are Fertility,<br />
Longevity, Feet, Excellent Udders with Fleshing Ability. Many of our Bulls are still<br />
breeding cows at nine to twelve years of age.<br />
We are excited with the Bovigen GeneSTAR DNA markers: Quality Grade,<br />
Tenderness, and Feed Efficiency. Our cattle are extremely high in these traits,<br />
which gives you assurance to make more money on their progeny. Expedition,<br />
the Feed Efficiency Sire, sired the Grand Champion Carcass Steer at the 2007<br />
NJAS and we believe him to be one of the most complete sires in the <strong>Angus</strong><br />
breed, along with his maternal brother ONeills Lucky Boy and his tremendous son<br />
ONeills Encore, the sensation of the 2008 sale being leased to Genex and selling<br />
one-third interest for $75,000 for a $225,000 valuation.<br />
We will not bring out all of the great herd bull prospects as we have covered<br />
them extensively in the catalog. ONeills Earl Marshall is one of the most exciting<br />
bulls we have raised. He traces directly to Earl Marshall on the sire line of his<br />
pedigree and goes back to him many many times in his pedigree. Earl Marshall<br />
is very unique combining: Calving Ease, Thick Muscle with Extra Volume, and<br />
Marbling Score of I+.71 with great feet and legs.<br />
His dam is an outstanding Expedition daughter that sold one-half interest for<br />
$10,000 to Lonesome Dove in Minnesota and produced this fabulous bull.<br />
ONeills Elite, full brother to ONeills Encore. If you didn’t get Encore then don’t<br />
miss “Elite”. He has all of the outstanding traits of Encore with balanced traits and<br />
tremendous volume, performance and muscle, with excellent feet. He is Super!<br />
I think that the future for the Beef Cattle Business never looked brighter as cow<br />
numbers are way down. NOW is the time to build. As for the <strong>Angus</strong> Breed, we<br />
will emerge stronger than ever before with some dynamic changes taking place<br />
in our breed. <strong>Angus</strong> cattle that are thick with muscle, volume, carcass quality with<br />
fast gaining, and performance cattle that weigh and are structurally sound on<br />
their feet and legs with eye appeal will come to the forefront of our breed.<br />
We invite you to stop in and view our cattle at any time. If we can be of help in<br />
any way, please give us a call. We look forward to seeing you at the sale. If you<br />
are unable to attend and go through me in buying your cattle, we will guarantee<br />
that the cattle will be satisfactory or you don’t own them.<br />
Sincerely,<br />
The O’Neill’s<br />
