Welcome to our 5th Annual Bull Sale!
We would like to sincerely thank all of our customers for their support throughout the last 5 years. Your support has been greatly appreciated! Without you our family business could not grow. Hard to believe all the changes 5 years bring with them, from drought to floods, to a really late and wet spring last year and then ideal crop conditions throughout the summer! One of the most certain things is there’s always more uncertainty. Meanwhile our focus hasn’t changed. We continue to strive to get you, our customers, some of the best genetics out there! Bulls that can handle all of these conditions and not struggle to keep good condition. In return leaving you a good set of replacement heifers. Our most important goal is to make sure that these bulls go out and work for you, our customers, and get the job done. The bulls never get pushed hard. They have been developed on a high roughage ration supplemented with a pellet from Country Junction for moderate gains. We believe it’s very important that they remain sound.
The bulls are on a full herd health program. We will offer $100 discount for customers taking their bulls home sale day. For those that go back to the farm they will be delivered free of charge Mid- April. You are welcome to stop by and view the bulls anytime prior to the sale. Come on out Monday afternoon, the day before the sale, at VJV Dawson Creek, for some refreshments and snacks and most importantly to view the bulls.
As always, we will guarantee the bulls to be sound breeders. All bulls will have passed a semen test and have been evaluated by our veterinarian.
