Welcome to the 41st Annual Hall Ranch Bull sale. We appreciate your interest in our program and the genetics we have developed over the last 41 years. During the fall and winter we have witnessed a number of customers topping or near topping the market with their outstanding quality feeder calves and yearlings. As times change, we as producers must also adapt and keep moving forward. For the third year, DV Auction will be working with us at our sale. A direct link to the videos can be found on page 33 of the sale catalog. We will also be having a video auction this year. No bulls will be running through the ring. Everything else about the sale will remain the same. The cattle will be at Bassett Livestock from Monday, February 28 at noon right through sale day on Wednesday, March 2. Stop in and take your time to evaluate the bulls either at the sale barn or at our facilities 7 ½ miles north of Bassett. We can’t say enough about this offering of big, growthy bulls. As you evaluate them, you will find their quality speaks for themselves, as well. There are new sire groups that have performed up to our program’s expectations – functional, correctly made, powerful, and pound packing. If you are in the market for calving ease, a large group of the offering is suitable for heifers and have been identified in the catalog. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to give us a call. We always welcome the opportunity to visit with old and new customers about their program needs. We look forward to seeing you on sale day.
Sincerely,
The Hall Ranch Crew

Health: All bulls sell with health papers for immediate shipment. They are semen tested and fertility is guaranteed.
Terms & Conditions: Bulls sell under the standard terms and conditions established by the American Angus Association. Sale block announcements on sale day will take precedence. Hall Ranch will retain 1/3 interest in all bulls selling. Buyer retains full possession and salvage value.
first breeding season guarantee: All bulls are guaranteed against breeding injury for the first breeding season. Breeding season is defined as the 90 day period following first turnout of bulls. Credit for the amount of purchase, less $3,000 per bull, will be applied toward a bull for replacement. Credit can be used at the time of loss if the buyer finds that we have a suitable replacement available. If the buyer prefers, the credit can be used at the following year’s sale on a bull. The buyer will keep the salvage value of the injured bull. This is not a mortality insurance policy. Mortality insurance will be available at the buyer’s expense on sale day.

Free delivery will be provided for all bulls within 300 miles. Arrangements will be made with the buyer beyond that point. Haul your own bull home on sale day and receive a $50 refund for each bull purchased.
