duction Sale. We thank all those customers that have put their faith and trust in our program. We look forward to working with new customers wanting to see what we have to offer. Thank you for taking the time to review this offering and we hope you can make it out to do so in person. The most rewarding part of this business is the great friendships gained working with fellow cattle producers.

This offering is as good as any we’ve offered before. These bulls are well balanced, athletic, and ready to go to work. Yearling bulls and heifers have been Angus GS tested to provide valuable data to help you evaluate and select bulls with confidence. Aimed at the commercial cattleman, we strive for cows that get it done just on grass. Bulls are developed on a no corn ration for slow gain and to keep bulls from falling off, as well as promoting good feet. We believe temperament is one of the most underrated qualities and will always be a focus.

We hope to see you on sale day! If you are unable to attend in person, the sale will also be broadcast live on DVAuction.com.
