WHAT IS RACEHORSE STYLE SALE CLOSE? Racehorse style sale close is when the entire sale stays open in extended bidding. This type of sale allows you as the bidder to change to a different lot within the same sale if the bidding has gone in to extended bidding.

HOW WILL EXTENDED BIDDING WORK? When we get to the close out end time the clock for close extends with any bid placed with less than 5 min on the clock. This type of extended bidding turns the end time to more of a soft time. Extended bidding allows bidders to compete in lots like a real auction and give all bidders the same time to make a decision. Always follow the clock to see how much time remains in the sale you are interested in.

Welcome to the 4th Van De Velde and guests Online bull sale.

This year I am offering 5 2 year old bulls, 4 polled reds, and a full blood. And 5 yearlings, 3 polled reds, and 2 full bloods, 1 of which is homo polled test pending.

When selecting and deciding who is going to be a bull, I am not only looking at the bull himself, but also at his dam. Her temperament, structural soundness, and udder quality must be good.

All bulls have been vaccinated as calves, again at weaning. They will be vaccinated again when semen testing, including for footrot.

Gordon Delichte

DNA tested non diluter. Out of a smaller framed cow, that is always in good condition. With his smaller birth weight, He probably could be used on heifers. NON DILUTER

This bull has a great temperament. When one of my herd bulls came up lame at pasture turn out, I used this bull, as a clean up bull. When I pulled the bulls at the end of July, I decided that he was in decent condition, and I would show him at Ag-Ex, Brandon in the fall. Yes the ring in his nose went in early Oct. But I started to halter break to lead him, only a week before going to Brandon. He settled in and behaved very well there. He has grown more and put on more conditioning since then. NON DILUTOR

A soggy made, dark red Top Tier 456G bull who has excelled at every stage of development. A fine example of what a first calving Denali 24E dam can produce. A modest 78lb birthweight to the heaviest at weaning and second heaviest at yearling intervals. Magnum possesses strong calving ease and maternal genetics on both sides of his pedigree yet packs some punch with performance. A young herd sire with a very bright future … I’ll be interested to see which astute cattle producer takes him home.

Maternal Sister

Top Tier 456G

A larger framed Proclamation E202 son, Matador will add some stretch and grow to your calves. He’s been of the radar for the bull pen since birth and continues hit each milestone with success.

Gailyn 344G strikes again!!! Claire’s purchase of this female at the WLB dispersal was a most wise … and profitable … investment. This is her third bull calf – and all have been bull sale quality. With an 80lb birthweight and CE, BW and MCE EPD’s in the top 3%, Maverick would be a candidate for the heifer pen. His sire – Intell 47J – produces beautiful females. Maverick’s strong maternal merits are a bonus if you’re keeping replacement heifers. Give this guy a second look. Maternal brothers have been purchased by Melvin Dunn –MJD Farms Inc. and Josh Grift.

Is Maxx the youngest and smallest bull in the pen? Yep. With those obvious facts addressed, critically evaluate this young fellow. A late February, blazed face Mr Knox 21K bull who had that “something special” about him at birth. Mothered by a first calving Gangster dam, Maxx posts a 74lb birthweight and a respectable set of EPD’s. Apply a lens that adds the extra 2 months his penmates have on him … he’ll be comparable with them. If your breeding season is later, this bull warrants serious consideration. Maxx just might be the sleeper of the sale … don’t miss this opportunity.
