Dear Friends,

We hope that you have had a profitable year. The last 16 years in the registered angus business has provided some of the most rewarding experiences of my life. We have seen our program and our cowherd improve with each year, and we hope that our successes have also helped with our customer’s successes.

Since we began selling yearling bulls, each year we have requests from customers who are looking for two year old bulls. It is difficult to find a selection of two year bulls that are true two year olds---in other words, bulls that weren’t picked over as yearlings, or weren’t good enough to sell as yearlings! This sale represents the entire 2006 crop, with no bulls sold off the top end as yearlings, and the bottom end has been culled deeply. The quality will be outstanding.

Finally, the pendulum is swinging back. After several years of single trait carcass breeding that wasn’t always complimentary with fertility, many advertisements are once again boasting about strong cow herds, yet the pedigrees don’t always show it! Rest assured that we never did go down that single trait road. Really Windy and Travel Power, both pathfinder bulls, are in the top 10% in scrotal and fertility. Of all the bulls I have used, they have set the standard for my herd as “cow producers.” They represent the base of all three herds, and will show up in many of the dam’s pedigrees of the sale bulls. It is always good to know there is a solid base on the bottom side of the pedigree.

About This Sale...

Unlike our previous sales, we have decided to try a silent auction at Five Star Farms. Here are some of the advantages:

The ability to bid on any bull in the sale at any time, without a sale order.

Time to analyze the bulls and to purchase accordingly.

Time to ask the available breeders questions.

Reliable cattle buyers to represent YOU, if you are unable to attend.

A low key, low pressure buying experience.

How It Works...

Each buyer shall have a number, and each group of bulls shall have a base price, which will be from $1900 to $3500, with a small group of select herd sires at $3900.
To bid on a bull, drop a card with your buyer number on it in the container for that lot number.
When first round bidding is done, we will see which bulls have more than one bid, and the bidding will be open only to buyers who placed a card on that bull. The bid will be raised in $100 increments until the last bidder on that bull is left. In case of a tie (or a standoff) we’ll just flip a coin. These bulls are now sold, and out of the sale.
We will then take a short recess. The reason for this, is for people who were outbid on a bull to have the time and a chance to go back out into the pens and bid on another bull.
For buyers unable to attend that day, we will provide reliable cattlemen to take your bids. You can count on their discretion and knowledge. If you aren’t pleased with the bull purchased by a representative, you don’t have to own him!
We will winter the bulls free of charge until delivery beginning April 15.

7. Any buyer who wishes to take his bull home within three days of the sale day will be credited $100 per bull for hauling him yourself.

We hope you like this sale format. We feel it will save you money as a buyer, and will save us money in sale expense--passing the savings on to you!
