Now Down To Three

Over the years that Mike has showed and sold cattle, the bull buyers have been pretty darn consistent. We have made acquaintances from the bull sales throughout Oregon, into Idaho, California and up to the Canada border. The buyers may not be heard from for three or four years after a purchase then come calling again for their next herd sire.

Such was the case a couple of days ago, we had a buy who bought three bulls along with a couple of his neighbors a few years back. The farmer and his neighbors used the bulls and rotated them each year around their farms. They did this for several calving years and it was time they got new genetics. They called us and came out to look at the bulls in the bull pen.

The farmers in this one area are getting older and not raising as many cows as they used to. The group of neighbors are no longer buying bulls in bulk the way they did a few years ago, but we did sell #42 to the main farmer of the bunch.

It is very satisfying that we get repeat customers for our herd sires and it is good to hear the great calving stories that they bring with them during their re-purchase. Which now brings us down to only three bulls left in the bull pen for sale from last year’s crop plus our big herd sire that is currently across the river with the main herd.
