Saturday, February 27, 2016 11 AM Knoxville Regional Livestock Auction Knoxville, Iowa

Featuring 28 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 2nd year selling at the Knoxville Regional Livestock Auction. The Sale will start at 11:00 am on Saturday February 27th. The bulls will be on display and available for viewing any time on Friday February 26th. 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 several 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. 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 the 11th Annual Iowa Beef Connection Performance Simmental Bull Sale. A lot of things have changed over the past eleven years. Some members of the group have come and gone and the cattle market has risen and fallen a couple of times. Even the quality of the bulls we offer has changed. But as it relates to the bulls, I can proudly say they have changed for the better over the years. We aren’t offering a hundred bulls for you to sort through, I know. But what we are offering is an elite set of bulls that we would confidently turn out and use in our own cow herds. These are the top end of our bull calf crop. We run about 250 cows between the two of our programs and we are bringing 28 bulls to town for you to evaluate. We believe the good Lord gave us cutting knives for a reason. We cut what shouldn’t be bulls. We aren’t offering “strong aged” bulls we couldn’t get sold last year. We are bringing good bulls, with good performance, and good genetics to back them up. Not a lot of fluff and glamour and B.S. We are excited to be working with Ruble Cattle Services and the crew at the Knoxville Regional Livestock Auction again this year.

The bulls will be available for viewing Thursday afternoon thru sale time at the sale sight or any time prior to that here on the farm. The sale will be held at 11 A.M. just prior to their bred cow special like we did last year. We will again be offering to take the bulls back home for you until April 1 when we will then deliver them free of charge to anyone in the state of Iowa.

Please feel free to contact myself, Dwight, or any of the other sale staff and we would be glad to talk about the bulls.

Thanks again, Andy VanAernam
