Elite Bred Heifers for Sale

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!

By partnering with Neogen and Top Dollar Angus, Noche Linda Farms offers buyers an opportunity to buy home-grown commercial heifers with verified genetics.

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.

Buyers need only know what their herd goals are.

If you want to retain heifers for your herd, then our Elite & Premier Maternal Heifers will be a great addition. You will be not only adding proven genetics, but you will be adding to your herd’s existing gene pool.

If you sell 100% of your calves each year as feeders, then our Elite & Premier Terminal Heifers that are also certified Premiere Maternal, will, over time increase your pounds and provide you with reliable cows.

If you are looking for the best of both worlds, we offer several heifers that are both Elite Maternal & Elite Terminal, representing the top 7% of all commercial heifers. These are special heifers that are bound to improve your herd.

When you see something that pleases your eye, you can buy with confidence.

• 46 (or 96%) are pregnant with a February or March 2024 calf.

Future – Approximately September 2023 all bred heifers will receive:

• Bovi-Shield Gold FP 5L5 HB
• Bovine Pili-Shield to inoculate unborn calves for scours
• Ivermectin De-Wormer

At the time these heifers’ pregnancy checked (September 2023) and prior to sale or consignment, all heifers will be inspected by a KDA representative. This inspection may disqualify any heifers with eye scars, rat tails, wild or bad tempers, and general suitability.

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.

• 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.

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.
