bull sale PLEASANT HILL FARMS

Overview

Welcome to the Pleasant Hill Early March Madness Bull and Heifer Sale. I think you will agree that the Pleasant Hill crew has put together a powerful set of cattle for your consideration. As the consulting nutritionist for Pleasant Hill and Performance Feeds, I strive to develop optimal nutrition and management programs to match and express the genetic potential of the cattle while giving special attention to safeguarding soundness and reproductive longevity.

Nutritional Philosophy

The nutritional treatment of breeding stock from conception to breeding can have a profound effect on their lifetime potential. Nutritional influences on future health and productivity have been traced as far back as early embryonic development; a concept termed “fetal programming”. That is why we focus not only on the nutrient requirements of the cow throughout her life cycle but also the nutritional factors that affect gene expression of economically important traits in the developing calf. From conception to turnout, we focus on expressing the genetic potential of the cattle without compromising structural soundness and breeding performance.

Bull and Heifer Development

Pleasant Hill bulls and heifers have been developed in a large-paddock environment to provide abundant exercise to promote structural soundness and athleticism. Nutritionally, they were developed on high-roughage rations with particular attention given to optimal protein, energy, vitamin and trace mineral supplementation to ensure proper reproductive development and structural longevity. We think that you will agree that our nutritional and management philosophies have produced an exceptional set of bulls and heifers that are ready to go to work for you. Buy with confidence!
