Hula Herefords Silent Bid Off Bull & Female Sale February 28, 2015 At the Ranch Creston, Nebraska Bid Off @ 1:00 Pm
Hula Herefords Silent Bid Off Bull & Female Sale Welcome! What an exciting time it is to be in the beef industry! Record setting feeder and fat cattle prices, abundant moisture in both the summer and fall have set us up for very positive attitudes going into the coming year. That being said, it is no time to take our focus away from genetic advancement and making the most of the resources available to better our herds. Thank you for taking an interest in our breeding program. Whether you are a first time purchaser or have been using our genetics for years, we are elated to have you here. We are 3rd generation Hereford Breeders who predominantly retain our own females. This has allowed us to create a solid genetic base on which to build our herd. This year we are excited to be in a position to not only offer high quality, usable bulls, but also replacement females straight from the top of our calf crop. This is primarily possible due to our extensive use of AI, Embryo Transfer and having a solid young cow herd already in place. We strive for high performing, balanced, efficient cattle that will work in the commercial cattleman s industry. We understand that pounds sold at weaning or grade and yield at slaughter are your top priority, while also retaining quality replacement heifers. These are our goals as well. This is evident in the package of 5 baldy heifers we have in this offering. Quality starts from the ground up. Functional correctness is our number one priority. We focus on balancing phenotypes and EPD s to provide a high quality offering. We are very stringent on the bulls we retain for sale to other producers. Our rule is, if we wouldn t use the bull on our own cows, we won t sell it to another producer. Please call with any questions you might have about any of the bulls or heifers for sale or to discuss our program in general. If you are in the area please stop by. Visitors are always welcome! We invite you to our Creston location on February 28, 2015 to evaluate our offering, place your bids and enjoy lunch on us!

We looked far and wide to find a bull that would work on heifers and still hold the performance numbers together and determined the best out there was in our own pasture. Even more impressive than the bulls out of this sire are his daughters. He produced the top daughter in this calf crop and we ve already sold other show heifers out of him.
