WELCOME!
We would like to welcome you to the annual Axtell Cattle Company bull and female sale.
Times are good in the cattle industry. Calf prices are at record highs and this is a great time to invest in the future of your herd with bulls that will improve your cow herd. This set of bulls is one that we are very proud of. They weaned incredibly well with basically no sickness and took off growing. We had great grass and bigger weaning weights and a very nice winter so far. It’s amazing what these cattle can do when the environment cooperates a little. The quality runs deep on this group of bulls! This group of bulls will be in working condition and will weigh a little more than previ- ous years. We shoot for a 2.5 lb/day gain and these bulls exceeded that even with less feed than normal. We went on a nationwide search for new sires that fit what we want to do and found some excellent new blood for our herd. We feel these bulls have fit what we want to do and will have a lasting impact on our herd and yours. The bulls we added will add volume, calving ease and are out of very good cows. We didn’t pick them for their numbers, but for their quality. The commercial heifers will be from three customers and will include a nice group of first calf heifer pairs in addition to the open heifers. One group will be January calves with extra growth. These are the heifers that have topped our sale nearly every year. The other group will be April born heifers that will be more moderate in frame with excellent quality. Both groups of heifers will be great assets to commercial herds in the area. The pairs are from reputation genetics, have Axtell sired calves at side and are ready for grass. We invite you to stop by anytime to see the bulls, our herd sires or cowherd. Just call ahead to set up a time and get directions. The sale offering will be available for viewing at the sale location on the afternoon of March 29th. We look forward to seeing you sale day, but if you are unable to attend and wish to bid just contact us, the sale representatives or pre-register on dvauction.com a couple days prior to the sale. You are able to bid live on DVauction or leave proxy bids on lots you may be interested in. The sale will also be on CattleUSA.com as well. Please let us know if we can be of any assistance to you in the buying process. We love to talk about cattle and would be glad to visit with you anytime. I will shoot it to you straight on any lots you may have interest in. Our goal is to have the right animals with the right buyers. We have years of experience with these cattle and if we know what you are looking for, we can assist you in getting the correct animals for your environment and management.
