Welcome
Welcome to our 24th Annual Production Sale! Every year seems like a new adventure in the cattle business, and this time the rancher has the upper hand. We are experiencing historically tight supplies and strong demand with no real signs of slowing up. There is no better time than now to invest in known genetics that will drive profit and build a better and stronger national cow herd moving forward. For those attending for the first time, our sale is unique as we consist of five individual breeders that share the same vision and goals of producing better cattle that work for all cattlemen. Cow families are the foundation for our group of breeders with an added emphasis on real performance, red meat yield as well as incorporating added genetic merit through EPDs. While each breeder offers something a bit different, our group places a strong emphasis on structural soundness and we stand behind these bulls 100% with a four-season feet and semen guarantee on all bulls in the offering. Our bulls are developed on a forage-based diet and ran on 30 acres of Flint Hills grass allowing for maximized exercise. We feel our development system offers a major advantage to the longevity and durability of our bulls. We also encourage you to view our suggested management tips on page 9 to ensure success and longevity. Your success is important to us! Like years past, our bulls are cataloged in sale order and any updates to catalog information will be available on a supplement sheet on sale day. We do have a set of age-advantage bulls that are sprinkled throughout the catalog, and all would have an M in their tattoo. This is a video auction and the bulls will not enter the ring to sell, so please take the time to evaluate them ahead of time. If unable to attend sale day, bulls will be on display the day before the sale at the Schaake Farms Sale Facility, or anytime at Schaake Farms or Marple Farms by appointment, as we always enjoy visiting one on one. If planning to visit ahead of sale day, please contact Scott (785-456-4949) to view the yearlings or to view the fall born bulls contact Troy Marple (785-250-0522). All group members have been through the bulls and would be more than happy to assist or answer questions about the entire offering. Several years ago we added a service to our most loyal customers, and an elite set of commercial replacements will be offered starting with Lot 96. This is a mix of opens, breds and pairs that are all home raised and selected directly from the heart of our customers’ herds. They will sell on video and delivery will be worked out between the buyer and consigner. Rest assured, these are top quality replacements that you can build a cow herd around. We extend this offer for future years to our most dedicated Gold Bullion customers. We truly value you entrusting us as your genetic provider and do not take that lightly! For more information about each breeder or to view videos, please visit our website at www.goldbulliongroup.com. Thank you for your interest and we look forward to seeing you March 1st!
