Mitchell Livestock Auction • Mitchell, SD Welcome Cattlemen to our 17th Annual Gelbvieh and Balancer Bull Sale This year we are offering 50 bulls for your consideration. We feel that every bull in this year’s sale truly deserves your close evaluation as to which bull best works in your operation. We have chosen these bulls from the 140 born on the ranch, and feel that they best represent our breeding program. As in the past all bulls have been performance tested, Ultra sounded for carcass, and will be semen tested prior to the sale. Videos of the bulls will be available on DV Auction or on our website, www.schroedercattle.com. This year’s test ran for 146 days. Our ration was developed by Scott Connett of CHS and designed for a 3.50 pound gain to ensure the soundness of the bulls. If you have any questions on this year’s bulls, feel free to contact me, Dustin, or Jerry Mettler. We will do our best to answer any questions you might have. In closing, I would like to thank all that have helped to get the bulls ready for this year’s sale, and to all our customers for your past support.

We measure it -- so you can manage it!!
