Having had such a beautiful November, December seems to have come upon us rather quickly.
This year, we have on offer 18 forage developed long yearlings. These bulls were born on grass, wintered on hay and alfalfa pellets and back on grass for their yearling summer. When we say forage developed, we mean a forage-only diet. Just pasture or hay and alfalfa pellets. The alfalfa pellets provide an ideal protein source, including by-pass proteins. This allows us to achieve healthy optimum growth rather than maximum growth. Maximum growth is something we like to see in our feeder cattle, not our breeding stock. And we do see it! The herd mates to these bulls go on feed in Nebraska. Their carcass size is 800-1000lbs by 18months old. The average dam size is 1243lbs. Clearly, we don’t need massive cows to produce steers that feed or bulls that breed.
We firmly believe that breeding stock and feeding stock should not be grown at the same rate as they serve entirely different purposes. While we love to see gains over 4lbs/day on our steers, we don’t on our bulls.

These bulls were pictured and videoed in October on grass. They all passed their breeding soundness evaluation in August.
They are honest bulls: sound, even-tempered and ready to work.

If you purchase a bull from us, we’ll keep him until April 1 for no charge. He’ll continue to feast on hay and alfalfa pellets. But, if you’d like to take him home before Christmas, we’ll give you $500 back.

We appreciate you taking time to look through our bulls. If you have any questions please call or text anytime.
