THE CROP
The 18-month-old and two-year-old bulls are virgin bulls and will be fertility and trich tested prior to the sale. They have been on Purina Accuration and corn at a level of 25/75, free choice prairie hay, and a complete mineral program. The yearling bulls are also on the same level of Purina Accuration , prairie hay, and mineral program. They were weaned in a small lot on October 12 and put back out to a small pasture on October 17 where they have been until shortly before sale day. No silage is used in any of the bull rations. The bulls will be fertility tested and will have been vaccinated with Bovi-shield Gold FP5/VL5, anthrax and twice for pinkeye and foot rot prevention. Please let us know prior to delivery if there are required vaccinations for your area of the country that are important to you. We also pour the bulls monthly with different products to keep ahead of lice and rubbing issues. Several of the top end bulls have been tested for the F94L Myostatin gene and the results are added in the footnotes.
Many of the bulls have been tested for the Homo polled and Homo black genes with the results listed on the pedigree of each bull. We will keep the yearling bulls free of charge until April 1. After a satisfactory fertility exam, we will deliver the bulls with no cost to you up to 150 miles. Beyond that, we will work with you in getting your bulls delivered to an agreed upon central point. Please bring your trailer the day of the sale if you are thinking about purchasing a two- year-old bull, fall bull or any of the females as we would like to move them as soon as possible right after the sale. We will deduct $50 for each bull taken home sale day. A veterinarian will be on hand to issue health papers where needed. A supplement sheet will be available online and sale day with adjusted yearling weights, scrotal measurements, and ultrasound data. Be sure to go to our website www.treftzlimousin.com or www.dvauction.com for updated pictures, videos and other data. Again this year, we are including a calving-ease score based on a combination of pedigree, EPDs, and calving history from sire and dam.
