Here we are, into 2025 We certainly could not be here, without all of the unwavering support of customers since Elroy started in the Salers business, at age 16! The breeding program at Scattered
Spruce Salers has been built on decades of high selection for all around ‘good cattle’ . We haven’t ever picked and choosed on what traits matter most - because quite simply - they all do
Headed into 2025, we see even stronger demand for Salers bulls and, a higher demand than we can supply, in many cases, for premium Salers females! We are proud to offer 55 yearling bulls for 2025 that we feel have a fit for each farmers own program We’ve done all the work on the back end to ensure that these bulls come from quality cow lines, with correct structure that will deliver calving ease - with great milk production and high performance We are more than certain that they also bring valuable end-user traits like quality carcass and excellent hair to keep them warm in the winter. Our customer base, has been building over the last several decades - many return buyers, and next generations coming back because using Salers bulls on heifers, or to make great females worth retaining has worked for them, and put more dollars in their bank account come calf check time It is commonly known that a great bull, starts with a great cow With a cow herd of 300, we are able to put the highest selection pressure on the calf crop each year, to ensure that only the best make it through to service females in our customers pastures
We also want our customers, and potential customers to know that our bull calves are never creep
fed They grow on pasture, with their momma’s milk We want to select for those hard working mothers that give it all to their calves, and come back into cycle like clockwork Not only, allowing us to select for performance, but strong stayability in our herd.
Once home, and weaned the bulls are carefully and slowly developed on a free choice ration of brome grass hay and ground oats with mineral and vitamins to develop them for their first year of breeding & years of service ahead as a mature bull The bulls will be fully guaranteed with a breeding soundness exam completed and your bull(s) of choice will be kept here, on feed, until your need for them (free of charge). We are excited for you to look at our 2025 bull lineup. We welcome tours, anytime Our coffee & tea are always on!
