What an Impressive Bull pen from top to bottom, I believe this is their best yet.
This is their 14th Annual Bull Sale and over 30 years of producing top quality bulls for the industry. This operation has been competitive at all levels of the cattle business. They are producing performance, meat bulls that help the commercial producers including their own commercial calves top the market. They are producing bulls that purebred breeders from across North America have used to improve their cowherds and bull pens. They have produced National Champions and cattle that have went on to become champions for their new owners. Utilizing embryo transplant and the best sires they can, they have a consistently high-quality product. There are embryo full brothers to some high selling bulls working in the purebred herds and many brothers by Houlio, Honky Tonk, Raindance and this year Tanks out of first calf heifers that are also features.
You are dealing with a great family that will stand behind their product as witnessed by the number of repeat customers that come back year after year. Whether you are a seedstock producer or a
commercial producer, you will find bulls that fit your needs and budget.
This is a video sale at the Elder Charolais Farm with the atmosphere calm and hassle free in their heated facility. You can also view the sale and bid on DLMS.ca but, if possible, try to come and see the operation and the bulls either before the sale or on sale day and enjoy some downhome hospitality.
We look forward to seeing you in Coronach on March 28th.
If Candace or I can be of any assistance before the sale or on sale day, please don’t hesitate to give us a call. We would be happy to help you find a bull that is right for your program.
Sincerely,
