Viewing of bulls in morning at Batho Farms
Welcome to our 31st Annual Southwest Bull Developement Centre sale. A little over 31 years ago a group of progressive breeders gathered at Melita one evening and discussed the idea of starting this development centre. Some of those breeders have moved on, both with their own sales or dispersed their herds. But one thing that has not changed is that the Development Centre is still located at Oak Lake. The bulls are fed in a large area allowing lots of exercise to grow and develop. The ration of 50% Grass/alfalfa hay, 47.5% oats, 2.5% supplement in a self-feeder, and is designed for a gain of 3lbs./day.
All the bulls have passed a semen evaluation before the sale. The sale is at Batho Farms Ltd. and online at DLMS.ca. The bulls have been videoed in mid March and clips of each bull will be presented during the sale. We encourage everyone to come at anytime to view bulls at the development centre before the sale.
If you have any questions or are unable to attend the sale and would like to discuss the bulls feel free to call Albert, Jay, Levi or any of the consignors listed in the sale catalogue.
