Welcome to our 7th Annual Bull Sale!
We are pleased to invite you to our 7th Annual Bull Sale! How truly grateful we feel for all the support over the past 7 years! Without the support our business couldn’t grow.
The bulls in this sale are slowly developed and never pushed, grown out to be fertile and problem free and with longevity in mind. With a lot of the 2 year old bulls in this sale being half brothers. We feel this to be a very uniform group of bulls, with a good selection of calving ease and performance.
With the cow herd in North America at record lows and cattle prices at record highs, it’s exciting times in the beef industry, finally catching up to the rest of the record high inputs. Feeling now is a good time to focus on how many pounds of beef we can raise per acre.
We are hosting an open house on Saturday, February 22nd from 10am – 5pm on the farm. Feel free to stop by and view the bulls, at your leisure, prior to the sale. We will also have the bulls ready to be viewed @ VJV Dawson Creek, Monday, February 24th in the afternoon, the day prior to the sale. Coffee and refreshments at both locations. There will be a complimentary lunch available on site, on the day of the Sale @ VJV.
For those that can’t make it out to the sale in person, Mark Shologan @ DLMS, will be broadcasting the sale via DLMS. As well, bidding will also be available via VJV. Wish to call instead? Call any of the sale staff as they are willing to help you with this.
We’d like to extend a huge Thank-you to all those that have been a part of this year’s Bull Sale. Our customers, bidders, DLMS, VJV, sponsors, catalog compilers, friends and family. Thank you to each one of you!
