I would like to take this time to invite you to the 17th Annual Bulls of the Bluegrass bull sale in Mt. Sterling, Kentucky on Saturday, April 4th. As in past sales again the breeders involved are offering a great and consistent set of bulls. Whether you are a Simmental breeder, Angus breeder, club calf producer or a commercial beef producer you will have a great selection of bulls for your operation. The bull selection is probably the best set ever with a wide range of pedigrees and just a plain good group of impressive bulls. Many past customers have bulls working in their operations across Kentucky and the United States. The list is growing so never fail to pass on those customers success stories. In visiting with many customers the genetics are definitely improving their end product and bottom line. There has been minor changes in the past sale however the Bulls of the Bluegrass group continues to offer up to date genetics that will advance your program. This is one of the later bull sales in Kentucky and you as a producer can rest assured you can find the right bull for your program. Buy the correct herd sire and take him home and put him to work. This group is committed to the seed stock industry and the Simmental breed and that’s the reason for their 17th bull sale.

The cattle numbers across the country are low as they have been since 1959 however the prices are strong as ever with all classes of cattle soaring along with feeds costs. With high prices many breeders have culled hard and some even cashed in their old bull. Matter of fact with the strong prices it doesn’t take to many of those 800 lb. steers to pay for a $5,000 bull. There is no better time so select a Simmental bull that offers efficiency and that high hybrid vigor which results to pounds and profit in your cow herd. If you haven’t used a Simmental in the past I encourage you to visit with the consignors or and learn more about the advantages of using a Simmental or SimAngus bull. The bull group continues to select and produce cattle to meet the industry needs and the needs of the commercial producer. I encourage you to visit with the producers regarding their bulls. This year the offering consists of purebred Simmentals, and SimAngus bulls.

The bulls will be ready for viewing on Friday so please stop by anytime especially if you cannot attend on Saturday. We will be glad to assist you on any of your bull needs. On behalf of DP Sales Management we always enjoy working and promoting Simmentals with a great group of breeders. If anyone has any questions regarding the sale offering contact the consignors, Dalton Lundy, Drew Hatmaker, or myself. Again we look forward to visiting with you sale weekend. I guarantee on your inspection that there will be a great selection of bulls. These committed breeders made sure of the quality issue. Also, don’t forget that trucking is available if needed. See you sale day.

This is a powerful two year old who we used to clean up our heifers last year. He is a really stout well designed bull that is very sound and big bodied and easy doing who is ready to cover a lot of cows. 312A is of the quality that he is certainly a consideration for the most discriminating breeder, purebred or commercial alike. We think a lot of this one! He is homozygous polled and homozygous black.

316A is a star faced coming two year old who is ready to cover a lot of cows. He has a little more stretch and grow in him and one that we think will work really well on a set of smaller framed Angus or low percentage Simmental cows that need a little more punch and pounds at weaning. His full sister topped the female sale in the fall at $12,500 going to Sloup and Hilltop. Homozygous polled and double black.

406B is a powerful, heavy muscled moderate framed bull who is very easy to look at. Another bull who we would recommend for heifers with a 12 calving ease and less than 1 on birthweight, but still more than 120 on yearling weight. We are trying to produce more bulls just like this one, because he is so versatile in terms of what he can do—it’s nice to find a bull who is equally valuable to use on both heifers and cows. Homozygous polled and homozygous black.

We think this one is special! There have been several Substance sons selling for high dollars this spring and last fall and we believe this one is as good as any of them. He has the perfect leg structure and big foot the substance cattle are known for, but is more attractive in his appearance than most. He is a son of our favorite donor cow, 403P and a maternal sib to the $12,500 sale topper in the fall to Hilltop and Sloup. He is huge bodied and just excellent in every aspect. To say this is one of the favorite ones we have sold in quite some time is prob-ably and understatement—he is one anyone looking for a next generation total outcross herdsire to take them to the next level should take the time to seriously consider! Homozygous polled and homozygous black.

Really well designed bull who is solid black and sound. He is a little younger than we have typically sold in the sale, but we always have people who want to get ahead of the game for a fall focused breeding program with a younger bull to develop over the summer on grass and he will still definitely read to use some in the spring too. He has all the pieces and quality of the older bulls, just not as far along in terms of age, but like all of us, he will get older soon enough. His pedigree is top notch and very valuable! We thought offering one this good was worth the trade off and would fit the needs of several buyers. Homozygous polled and double black.
