2013 Private Treaty Spring Bull Sale

Welcome to our spring private treaty offering. We have a good group of bulls this year. We have several SimAngus bulls as well as a nice selection of purebred Simmental bulls. All of the bulls are homozygous black and several are homozygous polled. RCR Wrangler headlines as the lead sire this year. His sons are good and the daughters they will sire are herd builders. His son, Chuckwagon has sons in the group that show the same power as Wrangler. Gibbs Blackout sires moderate birth weights, top weaning growth, and his sons scan very well for marbling and ribeye. Look for new sires from AI. Game Day and Tuition crossed well on our cows. They offer new genetics that excel for light birth weight, good growth, massive body depth backed with excellent maternal qualities. BDV Masterpiece is a new herd bull for us that offers power with a little more skeletal size. Due to a general lack of water and feed we are offering $100 per head off on bulls picked up by March 1st. Bulls will be semen tested the last week of February. All other bulls will be ready for pick up the first week of April. Thank you for your business. Your satisfaction is our priority. We look forward to showing you the bulls and matching a sire to meet your cow herdâ€™s needs. Jeff

Z202 crosses Wrangler with a Baxter daughter. This mating has worked great for us. Good power, moderate size, and excellent udders from the Baxter cows.
