A NOTE FROM RPI PROMOTIONS
There has been a break in the weather around our country, and the snow is almost gone. Not too far north of us, there is still a good amount on the ground. The weather has been warm in the middle of February. The months of March, April, and May will still be busy with bull sales across the Cattlemen’s Invite regional coverage area. We have witnessed some up and down markets in the seedstock selling business. Most sales have been very well attended and have been posting averages from mid $4,000 to $6,000. When making your bull buying list on the upcoming sales, try not to get caught up in how many of the cheap bulls can be purchased. Take advantage of the more reasonable prices and buy the best bulls to fit your program. No matter if you are a “one bull” purchase customer this year or your cattle operation demands the purchase of 15 bulls this year, you must have adequate herd bull numbers to cover the cow herd.Taking an extra bull into a pasture of cows might not be the worst thing this year. Using the information presented by the seedstock producer, you should be able to find the best value bulls to fit your needs as a cow/calf operator. This year, price will be a major factor for most of the bulls purchased, whether from commercial cattlemen or the registered cattlemen. Going into the bull sale with the knowledge of what bulls will help you meet your goals for the next calf crop is a very important one. There are many times in bull purchases that buying bulls at the next level will more than pay for your initial investment sale day. Cattle buyers from all over the country know the quality of cattle they want their customers to produce. Your cattle operation might as well have the calves with the quality and genetics that top the cattle market. When bull buying dollars are tight, it is more important than ever to find the bulls that will give you the best value for your money. Making well informed decisions and limiting the risk of purchasing inferior bulls will be the key this year. As you look through the pages of this month’s Cattlemen’s Invite there are a great number of programs that offer years and years of genetic selection. We invite you to call on these breeders for your next bull purchases. Most of the testing of bulls will happen in 60 plus days from now, don’t get caught having to make a last minute decision to pick up a group of bulls. It wasn’t too long ago that we had many days of cold freezing temperatures in our area. Buying a couple of extra bulls that fit the demands and quality for your program might be a great decision this year. Let us know if we can be of any help in the remaining months of the bull sale season. We will be out many days in the following weeks, either looking at cattle or attending production sales. We would be glad to help.
We will publish an April issue of the Cattlemen’s Invite that will be out the first week of April. We would be excited to help you promote your upcoming sale in any way.
Thanks for your friendship, trust and support
