It is with great pleasure that we welcome you to the 7th Annual Windy Gables Limousin Bull Sale and Open House. We feel that we have put together another solid set of bulls for your inspection this year focusing on muscle, disposition, milk and soundness. Our two main herd sires, TMF Redwood 322A; the 2015 Show Bull of The Year and Wulfs Zolt X421Z are represented in our offering. Both sires have their own unique traits and solid EPD set and they have translated these traits into calves that come into the world with ease and are ready to get moving and grow. Bull selection begins March 1, 2017 and bulls are sold on a first come, first served basis. You may have noticed that we are missing the word “female� in our Sale title this year. In an effort to serve our bull and female customers better with extra aged seedstock, we held back a group of our herd and hit the reset button. This of course, resulted in a smaller group of calves in 2016. We will not be selling any females at our 2017 Open House; however, a group of bred heifers will be on offer at the Colours of Autumn Limousin Sale in December 2017. These heifers will be available for your inspection on Sale Day and a bigger set of open females will be available for sale at our 2018 Open House. All bulls are guaranteed breeders and have been selected not just as breeders, but for producers of well-muscled, productive and profitable offspring with the ability to provide an excellent and affordable protein source for the masses and replacement females that will maximize the profitability of your herd. Please feel free to give Bryce or Nathan a call with any questions regarding any of the bulls we are offering this year. We welcome you to come tour the herd, view the bulls and stay around for some great food and great conversation- the earlier in the day, the better the selection, the later in the day, the better the conversation! Cheers, Bryce and Nathan

In January 2016, I posted a picture on social media praising a 13 year old cow that had just calved and the calf was up and nursing in 13 minutes. 9D is that calf all grown up. Strong maternal lines will be carried on through 9D as his dam is still a productive member of our herd and is raising another top notch bull calf in 2017. Thick made, big footed and polled, there isn’t much more you could ask for in a bull. Polled
