SOUTHERN EXCELLENCE BULL SALE 2017

WELCOME

On behalf of the Southern Excellence Bull Development Group, Lisa and I would like to invite you to our 5th annual Southern Excellence Simmental and Simangus™ bull sale.

Saturday, November 18 at our sale time of 1:00pm, CST. Lisa and I welcome you to our 5th annual Southern Excellence Bull Sale. On April 10, 2016 I had a life changing event where I was injured, I was thrown from a horse and severely broke my back. After several weeks in the hospital and a major surgery I have been able to recover, but still have limited strength and mobility. We were able to continue with the help of family and our good friend Jason Meigs and we had very successful 4th annual sale. myself to see how we can help you.

However in February 2017 the very difficult decision was made to cut back on the number of bulls developed and sold here.

I would like to thank my past consigning partners for their support over the past few years and wish them the very best as they move forward with their programs.

In addition we will have a select group of registered open heifers, cow calf pairs, bred cows, and a select group of commercial open females. Females will be sold in the traditional method, through the sale ring.

I give the bulls personal attention daily, feeding them a ration developed by my good friend Sammy Jackson, Daniel Jackson Feed Mill, Ranburne Alabama. They have run on big paddocks with plenty of forage and they are ready to work. Even though the numbers are smaller than in the past years, the quality, depth and consistency is huge. As you review the offering you will see that this set of bulls has exceptional EPD packages, phenotype, and outstanding carcass data, something for everyone.

As a sale feature we will be offering RLWF ROOKIE GM256R W79. She has produced many top selling animals here in the past, including the top selling bull in 2016 RLWF Makers Select C579. Her son, by CCR Cowboy Cut, sells as lot 20 in this year’s sale. She is bred for a December calf by CCR Cowboy Cut.

In an effort to provide our Southern Excellence Bull customers the very best in services, we have partnered with Jason Walker of Walker Cattle Services an avenue for you to market and sell your calves at a premium. Please don’t hesitate to call Jason or

SOUTHERN EXCELLENCE TEAM WALKER CATTLE SERVICES Fellow Cattlemen, You are about to look through data on some of the finest SimAngus genetics in the southeast. When buying bulls, you want to buy bulls that come from a progressive herd, so your purebred or commercial herd will also be progressive. I have evaluated the cattle each year, dating back to the 1st Southern Excellence sale. Every year when you think the cattle are about as good as you can make them, they keep getting better.

The development process of bulls is important to me because when pushed, they will most likely have foot problems, or be too fat to service cows. WIth that said, Rick has done a phenomenal job developing bulls, by getting the right ration, so you can take them home and put them to work.

Rick, Lisa, Kimberly, Amanda & Austin Whelan

I have partnered with Whelan Farms and Southern Excellence to help their customers market calves sired by Southern Excellence bulls. I have extensive experience with helping ranchers get to the next level of selling pot loads of calves. I work with one of the largest cattle buyers in the southeast and my goal is to help educate and get your cattle sold!

I have a BS in Agricultural Economics and Business from Auburn University. I have managed one of the largest cow herds in east Alabama for the past 5 years. I started Walker Cattle Services 3 years ago, where I do ranch consulting and marketing.

Rick, Lisa, Kimberly, Jason and Josh

50% of your calves’ genetics come from the bull, but your herd is impacted 100% based on your bull selection. Bulls are not a “One Size FIts All”. Each herd needs something a little different based on how the cattle are sold. Many of you have heard the old rule of thumb on buying bulls, “Pay what your top 5 steer calves will bring.” To an extent that holds true, but there is a factor missing in this: Females sired by the bull you purchase are going to be put back into the herd.

If you are keeping replacement females out of your bull, then my rule of thumb is “Pay what your top 8 steer calves will bring.” A bull can be a 15-20+ year genetic impact on your herd.

Dr. Dean Pringle UGA Beef Scientist Pringle Imaging

Whether you are a past, present or future buyer of Southern Excellence Bulls and you are interested in marketing your calves calves at a premium, don’t hesitate to give me a call and see how I can help you!
