Please bring this catalog with you on sale day!
Hello!
Since the bull sale last year at our place worked out so well, we will hold the 40th annual RLV Gelbvieh/Balancer Bull Sale on April 4th, 2020 at the place at Nisland at 1:00 p.m. MT with lunch being served at noon. We invite you to attend the sale and have lunch with us and preview the bulls. Due to Rich’s untimely death in June – the catalog is lacking in comments, but the bulls weaned good, have developed well, and will be ready to go to work for you! Due to the circumstances, it would be appreciated if you would bring your trailers and take your bull home sale day and receive $150.00 off each bull you purchase, plus the $100.00 buyer appreciation 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 hind quarters, meat, muscle, eye appeal, clean sheaths, and they are structurally correct. All but one bull is polled and 9 of the black bulls are homozygous black, with 5 Red-Gelbvieh/Red Angus Balancer bulls out of the Cinch bull. All bulls are registered, with real EPDs and DNA test 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 purchaseing... the dispositions on these bulls are unbeatable. All birth weights and all weaning weights are the actual 205 day weaning weights – not adjusted. We don’t believe in selling high birthweight bulls – 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 byer is: Love your RLV Gelbvieh bull or let us know...We will always make it right! If you would like to stop in and view the bulls give Linda a call and I can arrange it. See you Sale Day!! Linda, Quinton, and Brent
