Welcome
Welcome to the 8th Annual Burgod Ranch Simmental Bull Sale! We are in some of the best times ever had in the cattle industry and now more than ever it pays to have quality cattle. My goal every year is to make the pen of bulls better than the year prior, and I believe this set of bulls is the most put together and complete set from top to bottom I have ever offered. If you are looking to add pounds and performance to your cattle, you’re in the right spot.
We will be holding the sale online again this year with DVAuction. The format of this sale method is broke down in the sale terms section of this catalog. If you have any questions or need help with this process, please contact me. There will be an open house here at the ranch February 28th from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. with the Bulls penned for viewing.
The bulls were weaned October 17th and have been on a TMR grower ration ever since. The ration consists of brome grass hay, alfalfa hay, corn silage, earlage, dry distillers, and a liquid supplement. The daily gains on the bulls are on a 103-day test that started the day we weaned them. All the bulls have genomic enhanced EPDs and are tested for homo black and homo polled. Carcass ultrasound data will also be available on a supplement sheet to come. The disposition on these bulls is second to none as I do not put up with nonsense and work alone most of the time. I pictured every bull myself, and with that being said I am most definitely not a professional. There will be videos of each bull available soon which you can be found on DVAuction.com.
When it came to giving the bulls lot numbers, I really struggled with what to do. I picked 5 or 6 of what I thought were the standouts and put them at the front of the catalog. I then picked 5 or 6 I thought would have the least amount of interest and put them in the back of the catalog. Everything in between is very similar, and it was like drawing a number out of a hat in my opinion. Read through the footnotes on the bulls and get ahold of me with any questions. Thank you for your interest in my program!
Thank you, The Burgods

HERD HEALTH
I take great pride in the health of all animals on the ranch. All the herd health has been done through Dr. Cassie Holtz of the Bowdle Vet Clinic. The bulls have received four rounds of vaccinations including birth, turnout, pre-weaning, and post weaning booster vaccinations. With that being said, every bull is in top notch health.
I’m including the feed information under the health section, because I believe proper nutrition is the absolute key to good health. The bulls have been fed a ration, balanced through Eric Tesch at Dakotaland Feeds. This ration consists of alfalfa hay, grass hay, corn silage, wet corn, dry distillers, and a liquid supplement. They have been fed just right to show their true genetic performance, all while maintaining structural soundness.

Out of the same sire as lot 1 and is very similar in his build. He will have slightly more birthweight and should be used on mature cows. Really thick made square hipped bull. His mother always has a top end calf.

Soggy is the word I would use to describe this bull. A true standout all summer. His sire is a bull I call Bandit and was my pick for a power bull with frame and thickness up at Bichler Simmental a few years ago. This is his first calf crop and I am super impressed with what I am seeing from him.

Comfort Zone that is made right. Not the biggest frame
but has a lot of dimension to him and a super disposition. He is out of a first calf heifer.

One of the biggest framed bulls in the pen. Super long and thick topped for a 7 frame bull. Comes with some birthweight, but if you can use him on mature cows, you are going to reap the benefits of some monster calves come sale time.

The other big framed pure power bull in the pen out of a super cow with a great udder. For a 7 frame bull, he is very thick and when he steps on the scale, he weighs it down!

A bull that is really attractive and well made for nearly a 7 frame bull. His sire was my pick up at Quandt Cattle Co. and I was really excited about him. Unfortunately, he broke his leg right at the beginning of breeding season and this is one of the only calves I got out of him. Darn

The only bull out of Revolver this year who has sired top bulls here for years. The dam to this bull is big framed and has never missed. Revolver is known for throwing more frame and big rib so I am not sure why this guy is as small frame as he is. I would expect him to sire calves that are bigger in frame than what he is.

A bigger framed Comfort Zone that has substance. He is not quite as heavy muscled as some of his brothers, but makes up for it in sheer size. Out of a first calf heifer.

If you made it this far back in the catalog I think you might have found the diamond in the rough. His dam is a good big young cow who had the top heifer calf of the herd last year. He is not as big of bull as some others in the pen, but he is long spined and made right and backed by a good cow.
