CREATING CONSISTENT, RELIABLE GENETICS WITH OUR CLIENTS’ SUCCESS IN MIND

Welcome to our 2nd annual TRU Authentic Direction bull sale on SC Online Sales The 11 head offering we have put together has been carefully mated and selected based on a foundation of elite donors highlighting: S A V Blackcap May 4136 and S A V Emblynette 2369 We strive to produce performance cattle with the TRU look and balanced genetic profiles At the end of the day, cattle that look good and perform well, sell well, but we don’t ignore EPDs as they still are the best source of genetic prediction We started our program with the skills and knowledge acquired over two lifetimes in the cattle business but were inclined and encouraged to start our own program that was uniquely us Our family is working hard to bring our vision of providing TRU quality cattle and creating a TRU community to fruition . We raise cattle, like many of you, because we can’t imagine not being in the cattle business We don’t do this because it’s easy or inexpensive We do it because when we are outside with our daughters working with cattle it’s worth it . It’s worth it to see the smile on their faces and in their eyes when a new calf is born It’s the best way to teach them the value of hard work and how to process difficult situations like the sale of a favorite . We want to love and serve others well and to be a light while living out our big dreams, not just watching from the sidelines It’s not easy to live our own TRU authentic path our way, but that’s exactly what True North Cattle is to us .

We are so grateful to our current cattle community and current clients . Your support is bringing our vision for True North Cattle to life We believe at our core that building a purebred operation that stems from a select few elite donor cows is critical . Then mating them to top tier sires that share common ancestry creates a predictable, reliable progeny that is ready to work for our clients

Purchasing cattle from TRU means you support our small business, our dream and as a result become a part of our team We would love nothing more than to work with you .

Sincerely,

Keela and Chris Trennepohl
