Hello!We welcome you to our 38th RLV Gelbvieh/BalancerBull sale. Note NEW SALE DATE OF MARCH 22,2018 at 12:00 Noon!Our customers, repeat and new, are truly appreciatedand we treasure the friendships that we have made overthe years. It is an honor and a privilege to be your geneticsupplier. In appreciation of our buyers, (repeat and new)this year we are again offering $100.00 off each bull pur-chased…we don’t limit this to just new buyers. If youhaul your bull on sale day or pick him up by May 1, 2018we will give you $150.00 per bull. The bulls have been grown on HI-EN 14 Bull Chal-lenger and long stem hay. They have performed well andare full of power, deep hindquarters, meat, muscle, eyeappeal, clean sheaths, and they are structurally correct.All but one bull is polled and all but three of the blackbulls are homozygous black, with some RED bulls, allare AGA Registered, with EPD and DNA tests to backthem up! We feel without real EPDs you don’t have anyidea other than looks as to what kind of bull you are pur-chasing. The dispositions on these bulls are unbeatable.All birth weights are actual, not adjusted and all weaningweights are the actual 205 day weaning weights – not ad-justed. We don’t believe in selling high birth weight bulls– as that only hurts our true customers and friends withbirth weight problems, our program is to help, not to hurtour customers just to sell a bull. We feel our bulls are ourbest advertising. Our cattle are not babied – life is tooshort to put up with problem cattle and if the cows don’traise a decent calf, breed back, have great udders andgreat dispositions, they are culled in order to try to keepour herd problem free. Our herd has several Dams ofMerits and Dams of Distinction cows, but since we arelimited to pasture. as it is hard to find, we keep heifercalves and cull our older cows – as we figure if our pro-gram is heading in the right direction, the heifers shouldbe better than the dams, so the dams are sold whether ornot they are Dams of Merit or Dams of Distinction.Our guarantee is as good as there is – our promise toyou the bull buyer is: Love your RLV Gelbvieh bulls orlet us know…We will always make it right!Stop by the ranch anytime to view the bulls, just giveRich a holler ahead of time to make sure he is around.See you Sale Day!!
