5 Paul & Kara a Herbst; Renee, Brad & Cole Kamerman, Dave & Kay Klompien Jeremy, Sutton & J.D. Dunbar; Jim, Bob, Julie and Tom Morton, Sage LeBlanc Traig, Craig, Taryn, Trac & Cayl DeBoer Chuck and Carol Feddes Family Welcome to the Big Sky Elite Female Sale! The Red Revolution continues to roll as demand for Red Angus cattle continues to keep them at the top of the market compared to their black counterparts or any other breed. While the U.S. beef market is down considerably from the past two years, top-quality cattle remain at profitable levels for their producers. In down markets, you cannot afford to have mediocre or inferior cattle, and top-quality genetics are a must for survival during tough fi nancial times. Because of this fact, the Big Sky Elite Female Sale is an important day for any serious cattle producer wanting to add to or improve their existing herd. The four Red Angus operations represented in this offering are some of the best in the industry and not only breed top quality Red Angus cattle but are instrumental in the leadership of the RAAA organization. Bob Morton of Green Mountain Red Angus serves as the current national president and Chuck Feddes of Feddes Red Angus is the current Region A Director. I have had the privilege of going into all four of these herds over the past few years and can attest to the quality of their Red Angus genetics. The Big Sky cattle are designed by cowmen for cowmen and offer Montana s premier maternal genetics. If your goal is to produce some of the breed s best cattle, these cows and how they are mated, will help you achieve your dreams. If you are unable to attend this sale, please tune in via Superior Productions or DVAuction.com and bid live during the auction. I will be in Three Forks, Montana, Monday and Tuesday prior to the auction and would be available to look over any lots you are interested in. We will also be coordinating trucking and will have loads headed in every direction after the sale. If I can help you in any way, don t hesitate to ask. I may be a salesman but I will honestly tell you that these are some of the best Red Angus cattle on the planet! I look forward to seeing you on December 7th at the Big Sky Elite Female Sale. Best Regards, Kyle Gilchrist Get off 1-90 at the Logan Exit, #283. Go north and take a left on the frontage road. Proceed west toward Three Forks, about 1/2 mile. Take a right onto Logan Trident Road, heading north. The road immediately crosses the Gallatin River and the railroad tracks, as shown on the map. Green Mountain Red Angus is 2 miles from the railroad tracks. Watch for the large Green Mountain Red Angus sign. Catalog online at Video online at Big Sky Elite Female Sale 3
