Her dam never misses giving an awesome calf regardless of the sire. 39L is heifer that is hard for us to part with but, our philosophy is to sell our best to make your herd the best and we both win!
Some people have not heard of our breed, but that is due to the fact that we are still considered a fairly "new" breed of cattle tothe United States. Salers were first imported into the United States in1972 with theAmerican SalersAssociation being established in 1973, however this breed has been around MUCHlonger than 50 years.
Salers are considered tobe one of the oldest European breeds, whose roots can be traced to 16,500-year-oldcave drawings found near the town of Salers inthe SouthCentral region of France, theAuver gene, inthe heart of the volcanic area of the Massif Central. Salers are a balanced breed, which is optimum inall aspects of beef production. Salers females possess a larger than average pelvic area and calve easily tothe service of larger terminal cross sires.They are excellent mothers with good milk production, are very fertile and re-breed quickly. Salers bulls sire calves of moderatebirth weight, with a strong will to live and good growth.
Salers, and Salers cross steers perform well in feedlots and have exceptional carcass yield and quality.These traits have made Salers the choice of many commercial cattlemen striving to maximize production, without increasing management or labor. We love this breed!
