Sky West Salers Online Bull & Female Sale 2025 - DLMS Farm Gate Timed Auction
Welcome to our Eight Online Bull Sale! We are excited to showcase our bull pen again this year with what we believe is an exceptional strong group of purebred Salers and Optimizer bulls!
Our program is raising two year old bulls. It makes the Sky West program unique. At weaning these bulls get sorted and the ones we keep for the program are grown gradually and not pushed. Summer gets the bulls out on their own pasture and they get the experience of managed grazing till mid October. In their rising two year old term they are feed a TMR of corn silage, chopped straw and chopped hay with a mineral premix. Its this kind of management that show us who is going to make bulls and who wont. This is what helps us bring out the quality bulls that we offer for sale.
As an added bonus, all Salers bulls are sire verified with Neogen Canada as well as being tested for homozygous polled and black if there is a chance that they could be. For breeders the task of having DNA on file is already done, and for all cattlemen, knowing the polled and color status on your bulls offers predictability and some peace of mind.
We urge everyone to insure their bulls through our representative from Canadian Farm insurance Monica Czech. They are great people to work with and insuring your bulls protects your investment. With insurance you get free board on your bulls until May 1, 2025. Buyers who do not insure their bulls will assume all responsibility. You can reach Monica Czech at 780-733-7715.
For more information on the bulls and to view the bulls give Travis or Ray a call. Coffee is always on!
