Sale INFORMATION SALE LOCATION 2906 County Road 380, Oakley, KS 67748 5 miles west of Oakley on HWY 40
To the 8 th annual Bulls of the Prairie bull and heifer sale at our place and our 27 th sale for Rains Simmental. This year was a challenging one. I had my second shoulder surgery on my left shoulder; in preparing for my surgery we learned that I had leukemia. That triggered an eight week treatment of chemo that I did not handle well. It was great to see our younger sons, McKellen and Morgan, step up and run the ranch. Along with my wonderful wife who was by my side every Monday for my treatments. Here at Rains Simmental our bulls and heifers are bred for productivity and longevity. Once weaned, the bulls are fed to a target of 2.8-3 pounds of aver- age daily gain on a high roughage diet to maintain a natural growth pattern, correct structure, and foot integrity. This year we are offering 41 bulls and 20 heifers in this year’s sale. You will be able to find bulls that are designed to put more pounds on your market calves and heifers of high quality to build your cattle herd. We hope you can join us at the farm March 14 th . If you can’t be there in person, join us on DVAuction live sale day. Lunch will be available sale day and bull and heifers will be there for viewing in the morning with coffee and cinnamon rolls. Thank you again for your support and interest in our cattle. If you have any questions, please call or text, we always like to talk cattle. Sincerely,
