As time has passed, the next generation has become very active in the operation. Everyone at Gerloff Angus plays a vital role. Dakota closely collaborates with his grandfather, Charlie, on bull marketing and development. He has developed into an excellent seedstock producer and understands the importance of having a profitable bull. Lance, Scott, and Kim are tireless workers and keep the entire Gerloff Program on target. Lance and Becky’s daughter, Olivia, has had a brilliant career showing Angus cattle, and today she is rec- ognized as one of the top young judges in the livestock industry. Charlie Gerloff and his family are unique people. They love the cattle industry, take pride in their customers, and truly have a herd of superior seedstock. Repeat customers are a cornerstone of the Gerloff seedstock program, with many buyers returning time after time, generation after generation. The team at Gerloff Farms stands behind every animal they sell, ensuring there are no unexpected or unpleasant surprises. When you buy a bull from Gerloff, you can be confident in their focus on profitability, reliability, and customer satisfaction. You will truly enjoy doing business with them. I look forward to seeing you at this important sale!
Sincerely,
The enthusiasm of calf prices can’t be ignored. Some will be glad just to ride the wave of these historic times. However, others (likely you) won’t just settle to “go along”. You are looking to maximize all the value available for you. For your family. You need to get some sense of what your operation looks like over the next number of years. That is going to take tremendous genetic potential and genetic balance. The Gerloff bulls offer that. Just study those API numbers. Your future demands clear thinking. This lineup adds clarity. The GF team has the courage to put all bulls on the same genetic system so you can directly com- pare any bull in the catalog. No smoke and mirrors. Who else has the courage to do that? To add clarity for you? You need innovative thinking. You know things will be a bit different looking forward. The GF family has once again proven their personal willingness to inno- vate and think differently. The Gerloffs are marking history as the first seedstock operation anywhere to offer every bull they sell with the simple to use 701x xTpro tag. That means if you spend $6500 or more on your bull purchase you will be able to monitor the location, health, and mounting performance of your bull remotely from anywhere simply by a quick click on your phone. The Gerloffs are investing aggressively to ensure your relationship with them pays off. So that you stay passionate and profitable in the beef business. My only question. Do your other seedstock options do the same?
