Another year has seemed to fly by and here we are at Bull Sale time again! I would like to thank all of our buyers and bidders and all that attended our sale last year and made it a great success! More impor tantly, thanks so much to our return customers! We look forward to working with you all again in this coming year and hope that the friendships that we have created will continue to grow as we work together to provide you with the best breeding stock for your individual operations.
We have been raising purebred Gelbvieh for 18 years now, and are ver y excited for the future of the breed and the growth of the industr y We feel that the bulls that we have on offer this year will add pounds to your steer calves come fall as well as leave you ver y complete and function females that you can either use as replacements for your own herd or market as some of the best Replacement Females in the Industr y! We all know the earning power of Gelbvieh Genetics in our commercial cow herds! The focus our herd star ts with the Females; ver y sound udders, great feet and legs, and productivity through thick butted, deep bodied animals without sacrificing calving ease. Our goal is to provide you and the industr y with moderate bir th weight bulls that will get up and go and keep growing to get you the highest weaning weights possible! Our bulls have been fed a high fiber, high roughage, total mixed ration of hay, silage and pellets NO GRAIN! Temperament is also an issue with us; you will find our cattle quiet and easy to work with!
EPDs are “Expected Progeny Differences” They are a useful tool in selection. EPDs incorporate the individual animal with its averaged ancestr y per formance The CGA and the AGA has moved to the American Simmental Association’s NCE this spring below are some of the benefits:
• Higher accuracy WW EPDs due to the addition of historical and future weaning weight records to the NCE analysis by including early weaned data, past, present and future
New this year we are collecting ultrasound data that will supply us with more in-depth Carcass data Again, this year, we are testing all the sale bulls for the homozygous polled gene. This gives you the buyer an added tool to select a bull that you can be guaranteed that he will take 100% of the horns off his progeny. The results will be available early Februar y as well as posted sale day!
You are invited to join us on Saturday, Februar y 24th prior to the sale for lunch at 12 noon.
