HARTMAN CATTLE COMPANY Welcome, This offering represents the very top-end of our 2015 calf crop, along with the very best selected from our fellow breeders. It is our intent to bring you an offering that will satisfy the needs of the industry. We try to be very particular on freedom of movement and soundness of feet and legs. We avoid extremes and emphasize calving ease, performance, and carcass traits. To achieve all this they should have muscle and thickness throughout in a properly designed package. As you know, we prefer cattle with presence and eye-appeal, as the first impression is what sells most cattle— whether purebred or commercial. We believe a good breeding bull must have a good mother, and I assure you every bull in this sale is out of a good cow. With the depth of pedigree in this offering, every bull should leave a great set of replacements in the next generation. We highly recommend this set of bulls. We’re presenting lots of data so you can make wise choices in whatever areas you need to improve in your herd. Please call if we can help in your selection and we welcome your inspection anytime. Respectfully,

Mike Hartman 61878 732 RD Tecumseh, NE 68450 • 402-335-2577 • or 335-3177
