Welcome to the 2023 Shiloh Cattle Company “Trendsetter” Bull & Replacement Heifer Sale.

We would like to welcome you to attend the 9th annual Trendsetter Bull Sale, and offer our sincere thanks in advance for considering purchasing your next herd sire and/or replacement heifers from Shiloh Cattle Company. We really do appreciate your business, and your confidence in our breeding stock means a great deal to us.

We had a busy year here at the Ranch. Despite having a very dry spring with very little run off, we did manage to get a good deal of rain in June , just in time to give the hay and green feed crops the moisture they required to provide us with the best harvest we have had in several years.Also in June, we had the opportunity to fly out to New Brunswick to attend the Canadian Angus Association’s national convention. It was an amazing week of workshops , ranch tours and visiting with Angus Breeders from across the country. An experience we will always remember and appreciate.

This year’s bull and heifer sale pens are beyond a doubt the strongest to date. As always, important traits including foot and udder structure, performance, calving ease and disposition are at the forefront of our breeding program.

We believe a balanced feed ration reflects in the longevity of our cattle, resulting in livestock that perform well under drought and hard grass conditions. Calves are expected to develop naturally alongside their Dams. We do not creep feed.

Sale bulls and heifers have been fed a Hay/Green Feed/ Pea Straw mix, as well as pail fed a pellet ration based on 1% of their body weight, promoting a natural rate of development.The entire herd has been on the Sweetpro Mineral Supplement Program (SMSP). Sweetpro is a whole herd health program promoting a healthier hoof and rumen, and higher fertility for faster breed back and higher conception rates.

Sale day is Saturday, March 25th at the Ranch. All of the Sale Bulls and Heifers will be on display just outside the sale barn that morning, starting at 10:00 AM. Please feel free to contact us anytime prior to sale day to come by to view the sale pens. We would be more than happy to show you around.

Sale time is 12:30 PM, with Steak dinner being served between 11:00 AM - 12:30 PM. Hospitality will be on offer before and after the sale. Plan to stay after the sale for the Wine & Cheese and Beer & Sausage Social.

We look forward to seeing you there.
