Please bring this catalog with you on sale day!
Hello!
Rich decided the first part of January to hold our 39th annual bull sale here at our place. SO a new sale date is scheduled for Saturday, March 23, 2019 at 1:00 p.m. MT with lunch served at noon here at our place at Nisland, SD. We invite and welcome you to attend our sale and have lunch with us! Our customers, repeat and new, are truly appreciated and we treasure the friendships that we have made over the years. It is an honor and a privilege to be your genetic supplier. In appreciation of our buyers, (repeat and new) this year we are again offering $100.00 off each bull purchased…we don’t limit this to just new buyers. If you haul your bull on sale day or pick him up by May 1, 2019 we will give you $150.00 per bull. The bulls have been grown on HI-EN 14 Bull Challenger and long stem hay. They have performed well and are full of power, deep hindquarters, meat, muscle, eye appeal, clean sheaths, and they are structurally correct. All but two bulls are polled and there are 17 black bulls that are homozygous black, with 5 Red Angus Gelbvieh Blancer bulls, all are AGA Registered, with EPD and DNA tests to back them up! We feel without real EPDs you don’t have any idea other than looks as to what kind of bull you are purchasing. The dispositions on these bulls are unbeatable. All birth weights are actual, not adjusted and all weaning weights are the actual 205 day weaning weights – not adjusted. We don’t believe in selling high birth weight bulls – as that only hurts our customers and friends with birth weight problems, our program is to help, not to hurt our customers just to sell a bull. We feel our bulls are our best advertising. Our cattle are not babied – life is too short to put up with problem cattle and if the cows don’t raise a decent calf, breed back, have great udders and great dispositions, they are culled in order to try to keep our herd problem free. Our herd has several Dams of Merits and Dams of Distinction cows, but since we are limited to pasture. as it is hard to find, we keep heifer calves and cull our older cows – as we figure if our program is heading in the right direction, the heifers should be better than the dams, so the dams are sold whether or not they are Dams of Merit or Dams of Distinction. Our guarantee is as good as there is – our promise to you the bull buyer is: Love your RLV Gelbvieh bulls or let us know…We will always make it right! Stop by the ranch anytime to view the bulls, just give Rich a holler ahead of time to make sure he is around. See you Sale Day!! Rich and Linda
