The crew of Sweetgrass Veterinary Services and myself are excited to welcome everyone to the 2026 Wulf Cattle Opportunity Sale! We take great pride in continuing to perform the herd health preparation for the sale. I’d like to thank Emily, Luke, Kayla, Maddy, Amy, Jessica and Porter for their dedication and hard work this time of year when calving and production sale seasons collide! Several days were spent performing breeding soundness exams which included evaluation of semen motility and morphology, scrotal measurements, hip heights, and visual examination of hoof and leg conformation. To reduce stress and times through the chute, yearling bulls were also carcass ultrasounded by CUP Lab certified tech Jeff Schoenfelder at the time of the breeding exam. All sale animals have received vaccinations for IBR, BVD, PI3, BRSV, Lepto, Vibrio, Clostridial diseases and poured to control external and internal parasites. In addition, heifers have also received their Brucellosis vaccination. Administration of magnets are given to both bulls and heifers for the prevention of hardware disease. Wulf Cattle tests all breeding stock for Johne’s Disease and has a zero tolerance for positive tests. These animals and their offspring are removed from the breeding herd to insure the future health of your herd. We will be readily available on sale day and can be reached by email at vet@sweetgrassvets.com or at (605) 928-8387 anytime. We will be issuing electronic official health papers for lots sold outside of Nebraska the day of the sale. To assist us in this process, please provide your email and the physical address of where the cattle will be delivered to when you sign up for a bidder number, please refrain from using P.O. Box numbers. You may also find it convenient to download the MyVetLINK app to see your health documents as they are created. In good practice, we do encourage a 3-week quarantine period before contact with your herd to allow them to get over the high-risk time after the stress of transportation and to work with your local veterinarian in preparing your bull for breeding by repeating a
Cattlemen, It is with great excitement and anticipation that I welcome you to the 38th Annual Opportunity Sale!

My excitement stems from the unprecedented demand that we have been experiencing for our product. Supplies are low and demand is high, which is resulting in favorable prices for every class of cattle. The records continue to be broken on a regular basis.
