Ekstrum Simmentals Annual Bull Sale

DJF Palisades J170

Erixon Hatfield 12H

Dear Friends Welcome to our annual bull sale. This last year was another abnormally dry, but with a few good rains our pastures held up and we were able to put up some decent hay, our crops were not at as good as we would have hoped for but we did put up enough forage for the cattle. Again our calves have been one of the most impressive sets we have raised to date.

All our calves come off pasture with no creep. With over 45 years of raising Simmentals and over 55 years of AIing and performance testing we believe this tells the true story of the calves at weaning time without being fluffed. It truly shows what bloodlines excel in the real world. The bulls were developed on a high forage ration using ground hay, ground alfalfa, corn silage, and soybean meal to ensure sound feet and longevity. All our cattle rations are formulated and balanced by Livestock Visions (DVM Bruce Naasz and nutritionist Steve Peterson). All our herd health is conducted by Central Dakota Animal Clinic, DVM Jay Alberda and DVM Bryant Soulek.

If your breeding program consists of using purebred Simmentals, or SimAngus™ bulls we have performance oriented bulls to fit your program. Stop by anytime to come and inspect the bulls or go to www.ekstrumsimmentals.com for updated information. Videos and pictures will be on DV Auction.

Thanks, The Ekstrums
