Sale Features

In 2008 it was Snyder Bros’ intention to disperse their mature cow herd to include every cow that calved in 2008. The announcement of curly calf prompted them to protect their customers by removing from the sale all cows that were bred to potential carriers of curly calf. As a result Snyder Bros. is again dispersing their mature cow herd. Every cow over two years of age sells as well nearly all two year olds. The 40 top two-year-olds will be paired and matched for pedigree, EPDs and calving date. We will offer each pair, the winning bidder can take his pick and Snyder Bros. will retain the other. In this way the buyers can buy the best of the Snyder Bros. two year olds. In addition, we will retain 20 productive twos that have minor flaws that make them less attractive in a sale offering but useful to us.

This sale will complete our herd reduction from a peak of 700 females a few years ago to about 100 bred heifers and 40 second calvers to be calved next spring. This is a move to enable each of the partners to focus on their families and hobbies yet to be enjoyed in retirement. We hope you will join us for the sale and take the opportunity to share in this Angus Legacy.
