BULL HEALTH PROGRAM The bulls received Vision 7 at branding, preconditioned in August with Bovishield Gold One Shot and Vision 7 Somnus. The bulls were boostered with Bovishield Gold in September. They were drenched with Safe-Guard and poured with Protectus in November. In December they were given the first Fusogard vaccination. The bulls in January were poured with Clean-Up II. In February, they received their booster vaccination of Fusogard. Semen evaluations were performed by Fallon County Vet Service prior to the sale, and all the evaluation forms will be available sale day. Bulls that do not pass the semen evaluation will be available for sale after they have a satisfactory evaluation. BULL DEVELOPMENT The bulls are fed on a ration to develop them into sound functional use- able bulls that will work in every environment. The ration consists of rolled corn (6.25 lbs. average), corn silage 17 lbs., dry distiller’s (3.5 lbs.), and the balance of chopped hay that consists of ground grass, alfalfa, and barley hay, along with a vitamin & mineral supplement. This ration is developed to use 1% of the feed base being grain to reach our goal of 2.5 lb. gain. They have been developed at Eric and An- drea Bowman’s feedlot which is located 1 mile south of Rhame, N.D. SEMEN INTEREST Milk Creek Reds is retaining one-half revenue-sharing semen interest in all bulls in the sale. The retained semen interest by Milk Creek Reds allows us to collect semen, use semen on the bull in our herd, as well as share in se- men revenue if the bull would develop interest to be used in other herds or semen marketing companies. Any semen collection would be at the buyer’s convenience in the off-season use. Full possession and full salvage value sells on all bulls in this sale.
