2 Health & Fertility: Bulls have had calf hood vaccinations of Vision7 w/ somnus and Bovi-Shield 5 at branding time and then Vision7 w/ somnus at Preconditioning and were poured with Ivomec in Early January. Only Bulls that have passed a Breeding Soundness Exam will be in the sale. No bull has ever been treated for any sickness or received any antibiotics. All bulls tested negative for BVD-PI. CATALOG PRODUCED BY: RPI Promotions A Division of Ravellette Publications, Inc. PO Box 788, Philip, SD Don Ravellette (605) Beau Ravellette (605) Breeding Season Guarantee: If a bull should happen to get injured or some reason is not able to breed cows in the first breeding season purchaser will receive credit for ½ the purchase price of original bull. All claims must be made by October 1, Feed Program: The bulls were hand fed a ration of Hubbard Bull Power 14 twice a day along with free choice long stem hay. This is designed for gains of 2.0 to 2.5 lbs. a day. The bulls will be conditioned and ready for work by sale day and as always will be on a total forage diet. Our cows are managed in a real world setting and are run as commercial cows. Wedge Tent mother cows graze all year long, with some supplementation depending on weather conditions. EPDs: The EPD s in this catalog are Interim based on the bull s pedigree, production, and the average of his parents as of early March. $EN: One of the most valuable tools for someone that runs cattle year around can use. It is the dollar savings for an individual for a year. Greater the value the more money saved. The breed average seems to get lower every year and is negative. You will find that Wedge Tent Genetics rank in the top 10% of the breed and are expected to sire females that will save you money. $W: Another valuable tool for cattleman. It takes in four traits to determine this value, birthweight, weaning weight, maternal milk, and mature cow size. It gives an idea of pre weaning value when comparing bulls. Calving Ease: Bulls noted with HEIFERS are bulls we are confident in their ability to sire calves that will be born unassisted. Bulls noted as Calving Ease are bulls that should work on heifers but because of some heavier birthweight or lower calving ease in the pedigree, may require some extra attention. If no mention of calving ease we recommend they be used on cows that have had at least one calf. All Bulls in this sale were born unassisted. Any calving trouble is culled, no matter how good they are! Production: Two Year Olds: Registrations: The Dams Production is listed for each bull. Any bull out of a 2 year old heifer has his Maternal Granddams Production listed. Very few other breeders do this; we want you to be sure of your purchase and their history. None of these cows have ever missed; each cow has had every calf. Dam age is the age of the cow when bull was born. Scrotal measurements along with Yearling weights and current weights on the 2 year olds will be available sale day. We are very excited about the quality in these bulls. They are simply an age sort. Make no mistake about it these are not leftovers, no sales or bulls that did not perform. The culls were taken off and then we simply draw a line at a birthday to sort 2 year olds. There are registerable and commercial bulls throughout the lineup. Bulls that are registerable have their dams registration number listed in the pedigree and have EPD s. Registrations will be made on a requested basis. Wedge Tent Ranch will retain 1/3 semen interest in all registered bulls. Genetic Defects: We continue to not use bulls with known genetic defects. All bulls are guaranteed free of AM, NH, CA, M1, and Dwarfism. We believe many other things are genetic in nature and cull for those as well. Delivery: Absentee Bids: Bulls will be delivered within 300 miles of the ranch or you can deduct $100 if you take your bull(s) home sale day. We can arrange for someone to confidentially handle your bidding if needed. If you want to use this service it is best to contact us early so we can line up individuals to handle this, we try to use friends and neighbors to handle the bidding. We can also help you select the bulls that will best fit your program. We take this very seriously, and your selections and bids are held in strict confidence, so contact us as soon as possible at or if you need any help. You can also bid online at You will need to be pre-approved through their website to use this. Liability: All persons attending the sale or visiting the ranch do so at their own risk. Neither Wedge Tent Ranch or Lemmon Livestock nor the owners assume any liability, legal, physical or otherwise for any accidents that may occur.

3 Dear Friends, It seems impossible but Welcome to our 13th Annual Production Sale! I ll try to catch you up a little as it seems time flies by and our kids keep growing up. Kenny is still over in Brookings working but will be moving back West river right after the sale. Him and Keely will be getting married July 1st right here at the ranch and plan on living in the rural Sturgis area. Karisa is finishing her sophomore year at Dakota Wesleyan and is starting to make plans for the future after graduation. She loves to come home when she can and we love having her here. She plans on staying in Mitchell and working this summer. Kaeli is just about to graduate high school and has been accepted to Dakota Wesleyan in the nursing program. She has a super busy year in front of her and the adjustment of being away from home. Kyler will be a junior this fall. He keeps busy in sports, hunting and chores. Everyone told us They grow up fast, we believed them but it is an understatement for sure. Shannon still works at the school in the Title 1 department and really enjoys the kids. Bart runs the ranch and still does some crop adjusting. Drought, Markets, and Input costs continue to threaten (and always will) our livelihood. We have selected for low input, highly fertile, moderate framed, structurally correct, maternally efficient cattle for almost 20 years. We believe the genetics can, will, and do thrive and be profitable no matter what may come about. We started with a focus on the cow and that hasn t changed. As always we encourage you to come check out the bulls and the rest of the program before the sale. This gives you the chance to see first hand the cattle and operation, so that you can make solid decisions for the future of your ranch. For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future Jeremiah 29: 11 With many Blessings, Bart and Shannon Kenny, Karisa, Kaeli & Kyler The Carmichaels Wedge Tent Ranch Annual Sale 1
