effertz@bektel.com do nothing and stay the same or change what you are doing or how
you are doing it. That’s the hardest option but the only one that works!

We all wish for some things to be different … the weather, the
government, the markets. Truth is none of these things are under
our control. The only thing under our control is us, what we do, when
we do it and how we do it – all the things that human nature makes
hardest to change. By defi nition, if you want things to be different, you
must change.

As the ad on page 23 says, “Change is hard – cashing bigger checks
isn’t.” The cattle selling in this Focus on Effi ciency Sale will help

replacements and lower per-head maintenance costs.

The best recommendation you can give your commercial cattlemen
friends is to use fullblood Aberdeen and Moderator bulls on their fi rst-
calf heifers and eliminate all calving issues. Then, keep the Moderator
– cross heifers as replacements to take 300 pounds off mature cow
size, thereby increasing carrying capacity and increasing pounds of
beef weaned per acre. The NDSU Dickinson Research Center has
done it by 37% more weaning weight per acre out of Moderator-cross
calves.

…and the girls enjoyed The Merc. This has been another special year for our customers. A heifer we
bred, EZ Hottie’s Girl 46D, was the winningest heifer in America and
topped the 2018 National Sale in Denver at $22,000 for Dalton Bane
in Illinois.

We are offering maybe the best set of Moderator and fullblood
Aberdeen bulls we’ve ever had in our sale. They are ultrasound
evaluated for carcass traits, semen tested and ready to breed cows or
heifers. We are also offering a great set of fullblood females and some
tremendous Moderators, including the pick of our National Champion
Pen of Moderator Heifer Calves.

Welcome to North Dakota. Don’t hesitate to call us if there is
anything we can do to make your trip more memorable. Thank you for
your interest in our program.
