HARCOURT CHAROLAIS

Welcome to the 19th edition of the Best of the Breeds bull sale. Thank you to our repeat buyers and new customers that support our program. We focus our breeding on the main areas that cattlemen look at when purchasing a new bull; calving ease, growth and performance, hair, soundness and docility. We provide stout, moderate framed bulls that can get out and service your cows. We are pleased with this year’s offering as it exemplifies our breeding program.

We spent a lot on walking bulls in the past few years and are really excited about our offering with a mix of bulls by our herd sires, as well as some industry leading A.I. sires. We will have carefree bulls to run in your heifer pen or performance bulls to put with your cow herd.

Each year we keep back some bulls born too late to make our sale. They are on standby for our customers in case of a bull wreck during summer. The long yearlings we have on offer are these bulls we kept back. Developed on green feed oats until December 2022, then bull developer pellets and hay to provide bulls that will cover more ground and more cows without breaking down.

The Char cross advantage was obvious again this year in the feeder calf market. Take a hold of one of these great breeding bulls and pocket a bit more cash with your calf crop.

If you have questions or would like to come see the bulls and their mothers, please call or stop in.

“I’ve been running Dogpatch bulls exclusively on my redangusx commercial cows. The results speak for themselves, I have no issues during calving and in the fall the calves have all kinds of hair and a big hip and top which is exactly what buyers are looking for. The bulls have always been reasonably priced for the quality you receive and am looking forward to buying a couple more this spring. Mick has always stood behind his bulls and always been willing to accommodate my needs. I’ll conclude by saying I’m definitely a satisfied customer and happy to call the Zentner family good friends.”
