Thank you for your interest in our sale, and a special thank you to all our customers and friends that have made 25 years of raising purebred cattle possible for us. The local support we get for our program has always been tremendous, and 80% of our bulls sell to repeat customers.    We think we have another strong set of bulls here for your appraisal. A little fewer bulls on offer on the Red Angus side because we were batting 65% heifer calves last year, and we cull the same whether there’s 80 in the pen or 50. The blacks are a nice set of calving ease bulls with loads of maternal. The Charolais are getting better every year, with both the 2 Year Olds and Yearlings being are strongest set yet. The feedback we get on our bulls is that they work and they last. We don’t trim feet on any of them, and we will display them on a dirt floor to prove it. Our Herd bulls spend 300 days a year in a corral, and we refuse to trim their feet as well. These bulls are grown on a backgrounding ration with the intent to get them in breed ready conditioning. This way if a bull does show signs of breaking down, we know it’s not the feed that did it. We confidently stand behind our bulls.    All the bulls are at TFS Fincastle, and will be there till Wednesday, March 20th, at which time we’ll move them to the Ag Plex. This is a video sale, with all bulls being on display at hand.    Please take this as our personal invitation to come out and join us March 22nd whether you need a bull or just need to catch up with the neighbours. Taber’s hospitality is second to none. Hope to see you sale day.
