Saturday, February 25, 2017 11 AM Knoxville Regional Livestock Auction Knoxville, Iowa

Featuring 30 SimGenetic Performace Bred Bulls

Welcome On behalf of the Iowa Beef Connection members and Ruble Cattle Services we would like to welcome you to the eleventh annual Iowa Beef Connection Sale. This year we will be our 3rd year selling at the Knoxville Regional Livestock Auction. The Sale will start at 11:00 am on Saturday February 25th. The bulls will be on display and available for viewing any time on Friday February 24th. As always the bulls can be viewed by appointment at any of the participating member’s development facilities prior to being hauled to the sale site. This year’s offering is as strong as any year in the past. We’ve used some of the best bulls in the breed and also a few new outcross bulls. The bulls are bred and developed to be rugged and athletic. Many of the bulls are large spread bulls that combine high calving ease, low birth, high growth, and lots of end product value. We will also have a large selection of baldy bulls this year. We have something for every level of producer. We will have potential stud bulls, heifer bulls, growth bulls, multipurpose bulls, and all the bulls have been bred to sire calves with lots of marbling and ribeye. This sale is a great place to purchase commercial friendly Simmental and Sim Angus bulls that will meet the beef industry’s demands for fast growing high quality cattle who also weigh down the sale at weaning time. Our sale management team and marketing representatives will be happy to assist you in anyway if you are not able to attend the sale. As with past sales, IBC will offer to take all bulls home following the sale free of charge until April 1st. At that point we will coordinate delivery of the bulls up to 250 miles. If you take your bull home the day of the sale we will deduct $50 from the sale price. We will guarantee the delivery price of the bulls to not exceed $250 per bull.

Sincerely, Marshall and Jeremie Ruble Ruble Cattle Services 406-581-7940 rublecattleservices@gmail.com www.rublecattleservices.com

On behalf of the VanAernam and VanWeeldon families I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for evaluating the bulls we have to offer in 2017. We have certainly faced some challenges in over the past year. Obviously, we have faced some more challenging times in marketing than what we have become accustomed to in recent years but we will move forward and persevere.

Dwight and I strive to do our part in moving your programs forward toward a more profitable future. We rigorously cull these bulls and only offer those that we would proudly utilize in our own programs.

We don’t keep bulls just because of the things you read on a paper.

We also don’t keep bulls based solely on appearance. We keep bulls that are good. There are bulls in this sale to fit the needs of the most discriminating commercial cattleman and a few that probably belong in a seedstock operation.

We look forward to working with the crew at the Knoxville Regional Livestock Auction and Ruble Cattle Services once again. Please feel free to contact any of the marketing crew, Dwight, Derek, Gale, or myself to talk about what we can do for you this year and on down the road.

Good luck calving, Andy VanAernam
