Welcome!
TRAXINGER SIMMENTALS 2018 Bull Sale will be held on Wednesday, February 14th starting at 1:00 P.M. In this year’s group are some new genetics along with the proven sires that we have used in the past. All bulls are solid colored (red or black) with several homo-polled and several blacks that are tested homo-black plus some Reds for dilution gene. Most of the test results are in the catalog and the few remaining will be posted on the web site when they come available. DV Auction will assist us with the sale again this year. The support group for DV Auction can be reached at 402-316-5460. Please visit with them before the sale so you can be familiar with the process and to register if you want to be a bidder. This does require high speed internet and instructions to access the web page can be found on pages 5 and the inside back cover. Jeff Thomas (406-581-8859) and Colton Buss (605-214-3532) will both be helping us with the sale again this year. They will have viewed the bulls prior to the sale and can help with your selection. Both of these cattlemen have an astute eye for cattle and you can feel confident with their appraisal. They both tell it like it is, and we do guarantee their selections so buy with confidents. We encourage you to view the bulls prior to sale day and visit about your selections. If you need addition information on any bull in the offering please contact us. If time permits stop in, kick through the bulls and have a cup of coffee with us. Please join us February 14th 2018 for our annual bull sale and to enjoy Terri’s great chili and goodies. THANK YOU! For all the interest and support throughout the years. Mike, Terri and Michael Traxinger, Brittney and Brandon Bulson
