On behalf of the crew at Selte Cattle Co. we would like to welcome everyone to the 1st annual Gotcha Covered Bull and Select Female Sale. We want to extend a thank you to everyone who has shown an interest in our program this past year, and to those who have put in the effort to purchase off the farm the past 10 years, your support is greatly appreciated. We also want to thank Jesse Lawes, his team and our fellow contributors for helping put this sale together. With more bulls on offer we felt this was the fairest way to continue to support our customer base.
2024 was a year that the ranching community needed after years of increased inputs, and dry summers the strong market and snow coverage is a welcomed relief. We hope that this will be a continuing trend for 2025. We are pleased to be able to offer a consistent group of Long Yearling Red Angus Bulls. These May/June born bulls are fed their first winter on a moderate growth ration to ensure longevity. During the summer they are turned out onto the coulee pasture, where they have to navigate hills and brush before being brought back to the yard in September. September to current date they have been on a balanced TMR ration and allowed to bloom.
Bulls are important but so are the cows that they come from. Our cows are ranch cattle, not in the words that they are ranchy, but in the fact that they are expected to maintain themselves, calve without assistance, and wean a respectful well-balanced calf. The cows only come back to the yard to be AI’ed and weaned, the rest of the time they are at pasture. During the winter months they stay out grazing corn, swaths, bunches, and once the extended grazing is done then TMR to ensure they stay well maintained. We believe that you must like the way your cattle look, watch input costs, but also be realistic with their needs, finding the balance requires attention and consistency in your herd and thankfully we have mostly been able to achieve that. They start calving on banked grass which we believe allows the cows to mother their calves fully with out running off to the feed truck when it comes. These cows know how to put in the extra work for us. The end goal is to make sure that their calves will put in the extra work for you.
Thank you to Sarah Anderson for the pictures and videos, Steve Dusek and Derian Selte for the corral help, Hannah and Tryg for the continued help through out the year, Daniel Major for all the fencing, and to everyone else who has been a support in one way or another.
Please feel free to call with any questiona and stop buy for a tour.

Borradaile Cattle company is pleased to welcome you all to Vermilion Livestock Exchange for our first annual Gotcha Covered sale with our fellow consigners. We would like to say a huge thank you to our private treaty bull buyers from the last 3 years and look forward to working with any new ones.
These bulls come from cows that only spend calving season in the yard. Mid May to October our cow herd is out grazing pastures. Once crops are off, they will graze those fields till November when we wean calves off the cows and send them out to swath graze cereal crops till calving which as of this year the bred heifers will start in March and the cows in April.
Once weaned all our calves including the bulls go on a back grounding TMR of corn silage, Brown oats, hay and straw and free choice mineral. We want them to be allowed the time to grow out naturally to ensure their longevity. This year’s sale bulls grazed till mid October at which point they went back on a TMR of silage and oats with a free choice bale. We are proud of the bulls we have raised and quality and longevity are at the top of the list. Any bull sold is one we would be proud to use in our own herd and come from exceptional dams.
We have felt fortunate this year with the rain in the fall and beautiful amount of snow thus far into the winter. May it bring smooth calving, great runoff, full dugouts, and thick pasture’s.
Please feel free to stop by any time for a tour.
All the Best

Scurred Embryo bull. Will be registered as soon as DNA parentage results get done. A bull that will add some pounds to the calf crop.
Twelve years ago, we purchased our very first purebred heifer calf, and over the years we have built our registered herd to 60 purebred and fullblood cows. We have added some truly amazing cows & heifers, which have become the foundation of our herd.
The bulls we have on offer this year are bred for longevity, performance, soundness, with good muscling and bone structure, good temperaments, and always out of some of the best, hardest working, easy keeping, great milking momma cows. We would gladly use anyone of them in our own herd.
We appreciate the support from all our past customers and always look forward to adding new customers. Please feel free to give us a call or stop by the farm to discuss your bull needs.
