Welcome fellow cattlemen and cattlewomen to our 46th annual Simmental Production Sale. We would like to invite you to be our guest and analyze our offering. Whether your operation needs a calving ease high maternal sire or a high growth more terminal carcass sire, you will find and strong selection of exceptional quality potential herd sires that will fill your needs. This year’s offering has all percentages from purebred to ¼ bloods in both black and red. Many are sired by some of the most popular sires in the Simmental, Angus and Red Angus breeds.
All bulls selling are guaranteed against injury, not death, for the first 60 days from turn out. Death coverage can be added onto your farm policy very economically. We will pro-rate your next purchase based on the how long you were able to use him, then subtract any salvage value you received from the injured bull. If you ever have any questions, concerns, or just want to talk cattle, please give us a call. All cattle sell under ASA’s suggested terms and conditions.
We will have a supplement sheet on our web site as soon as they are available at www.ForsterFarms.com. It will include carcass ultrasound results along with updated weights and carcass EPDs. Remember that EPDs are the most accurate predictor of both performance and carcass traits. If you have any questions about EPDs or cross breeding that would work best for your operation I would be glad to help.
As always, the sale offering is available for your inspection at any time, please call ahead to make sure someone can go through them with you. I encourage you to stop by and analyze our offering, we think that you will be impressed with the selection and overall quality. Our cow herd and herd sires are also available for your inspection in their natural un-pampered environment. If you have any questions or would like help with making your selections please give us a call or stop by the office.
The sale will be broadcast live on DVAuction.com for those that can’t attend the sale. We thank you for your interest in our program and look forward to seeing you sale day!
