All heifers offered come with complete genomics profiles provided by Neogen’s Igenity Profile. The Igenity Profile compares and ranks our heifers against those in the Neogen database. The Neogen database contains genetic data from more than 1 million animals from top U.S. producers. Neogen’s Igenity compares our heifers to “the best of the best!” We also shared our data with Top Dollar Angus to evaluate our heifers within their program.

Heifers

Every cow calf operator can tell a story about a heifer that just did not work out. You bought a heifer with little or no information about what you were getting, and unfortunately, a year or two later she had to go down the road, with a little extra of your money. Looks alone can be deceiving!

 

Based on the scores given to the Maternal and Production Traits, our heifers are ranked within all the herds in the Neogen database.

 

Using a tissue sample from each heifer, Igenity analyzes 7 maternal traits and 10 production traits that are grouped, averaged, and compared to Neogen’s data base with more than 1 million entries. Based on the average score, Neogen ranks our heifers as Elite, Premier, or Choice. That sample data is also analyzed by Top Dollar Angus, the beef industry’s leading genetic verification and marketing assistance company for commercial feeder cattle.

How do I use this information?

2024 Group of Heifers

Anyone building or maintaining a cow/calf herd should want to improve the Maternal Traits of their cows. It costs just as much (or probably more) to keep a poor cow as it does to keep a quality cow.

Noche Linda Farms is one of the first commercial operations to embrace the insights of genetic decision indexes for improving herd quality. Partnering with Neogen, we apply the same technology that purebred producers have been using for decades.

By retaining heifers with the highest rankings withing the Igenity Maternal, Production, and Carcass Decision Indexes, we have, over time, developed a herd that produces calf crops that are reliably at the top of the Neogen Database, year after year.

When you see something that pleases your eye, you can buy with confidence that a Noche Linda Farms heifer will improve your herd.

What does Noche Linda Farms have for sale this year?

2024 Pair of Heifers

Kentucky Department of Agriculture (KDA) Inspection.

Prior to consignment to any local heifer sales, these heifers are inspected by a KDA representative. This inspection may disqualify any heifer with eye scars, rat tails, wild or bad tempers, and general suitability.

2024 Angus Heifer

Angus low birthweight sires.

All heifers offered are guaranteed bred to high quality Angus bulls. In choosing a sire for a heifer, we strive to find registered bulls that are in the top 20% of the breed in calving ease, weaning weight, yearling weight, foot soundness, as well as carcass quality. Coupled with our large percentage of Neogen Elite and Premiere heifers, buyers can feel confident that adding our heifers will improve their herd.

Warranties and Representations.

  • All heifers are sold with current health certificates by a licensed veterinarian.
  • All heifers come with complete Igenity Brand Profile results, color coat analysis, and BVD negative test results.
  • All heifers meet or exceed MARC standards for pelvic measurement of 160 centimeters prior to breeding. Historically our heifers will average more than 1,000 lbs. 60 to 90 days prior to calving.
  • All heifers are guaranteed to be bred for 60 days after purchase. Buyers are encouraged to have a licensed veterinarian re-check any suspicious heifers. Reimbursement of $5 per head will be paid to any buyers of our heifers.

Docility.

At Noche Linda Farms, docility and temperament are a primary focus of our herd development.

Quiet and easy handling cattle require less labor to manage, gain weight more efficiently, and reduce complications and costs!

  • Beginning at birth, we observe all our calves twice a day, every day, up close, to see how they are developing and to insure they are healthy. From day one, our calves are around people regularly.
  • At weaning, if any heifer shows signs of bad behavior, she is culled. Period!
  • From the first day of weaning, until breeding, our heifers are hand fed daily so they can become confident around people.
