Welcome to our 2023 Anchor B / Anchorage Bull & Female Sale. This winter has been rather interesting; early snow in December got us thinking about a long cold winter, but overall the Mother Nature has been pleasant and continues to improve with each passing day. This makes feeding cattle & calving cows quite a bit more enjoyable for us, we hope you have found it the same way. Market reports continue to strengthen and provide us with optimism for the industry. Quality calves continue to demand a premium at the auction yards and we are focused on providing bulls that you can expect to add to your bottom line. When the rains come this spring/summer, the feed prices will re-balance and it will be a great time to be in the beef industry. There is no time like the presence to improve your bull quality.
As we continue with our on-farm sale, you will find comfort in our spacious penning on both sale day or in advance if you want to preview the bulls & cowherd. We are available at your convenience if you would like to come to the farm early to get a better appraisal. This can give you additional time with our family as well, as we all know sale day can get a little hectic. We take a lot of pride in our cowherd & we always have time to talk with you about them.
With the convenience of having an on-farm sale, there is no need to bring your trailer sale day. We can arrange delivery after the sale and will keep bulls until May 1 if desired. Our goal is to make your bull purchase as comfortable as possible.
We continue to be pleased to work with the Bohrson Marketing Team and recommend you contact any of our BMS Team or Sales Staff and get their take on the offering. As well, internet bidding available via DLMS.
Please feel free to contact any of the Bohrson family with questions. We look forward to seeing you Thursday, March 23rd.
