Page 2 - Bar JV Angus Bull and Heifer Sale – March 22, 2022

Welcome

Welcome to our 2022 production sale. We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your continued support and interest in our
program.

Much of the information in this letter may seem repetitive, but even after 47 years our goals and philosophies have remained the same. Raising
functional efficient cows that will stay in your herd and raise a big calf year after year. We have a strict culling program for our cows. Our goal is
for the cows to stick around and perform for many years. Currently, we have a number of ten- to fouteen-year-olds still making the pathfinder
report, proving longevity and performance in our herd. With all the new technologies available to us, our selection criteria continue to remain the
same. We put an emphasis on calving ease, length, and bone in our cattle along with good feet and udder quality.

This crop of bulls was culled hard on pre weaning this year, so they represent the top 52% of our calf crop. The weaning weights were taken
in September, the lack of rain and swarms of grasshoppers really affected the weights. The ratios will be a good indicator of what their
performance would have been . This year’s offering is one of the most uniform we have had to date. There is a large selection of Heifer Bulls and
an outstanding set of Power Bulls that will add pounds to your calf crop. We have several new sire groups this year that offer outcross genetics.
The offering of Resilient bulls will be one of the largest offered anywhere and they are sure to impress!

We worked with Tyler Melroe of Hubbard Feeds to develop a ration for our bulls again this year. We feed the bulls a high roughage ration
consisting of alfalfa, grass hay, silage, whole oats, and whole corn in our own feedlot here at the ranch. We choose not to push our bulls on feed.
We want them to gain about 2.75 to 3 pounds per day. This ensures that they will last for many years. Flax-Lic tubs are also offered to improve
semen quality.

We encourage you to go to www.barjvangus.com to view videos of the bulls. Our bulls are fertility tested and carcass ultra-sounded by Dr. Gary
Scheiber and Dr. JJ Hovde, respectively, of High Plains Veterinary Clinic in Sidney, Montana. A supplement sheet with yearling weights, carcass,
and scrotal information will be available on Sale Day. All bulls have been DNA tested with Zoetis HD50K test.

This year’s offering of heifers is expected to weigh in the 750-pound range. They are feminine, broody and should make exceptional mama cows.

We encourage you to come by the ranch anytime to view the bulls, heifers, or the cows. We would love to show our operation to you and offer
help with selections. We are always happy to discuss any questions you may have about our program or the cattle. If you are unable to attend,
please do not hesitate to call us or one of the representatives to help you with bull selection or your bids. The sale will once again be broadcast
live on DV Auction. You have the option to register and bid with them as well.

There is a lot of optimism in the cattle industry right now! If you are interested in assistance marketing your calves, Dale is a representative for
Northern Livestock Video Auction.

Thank you for your continued loyalty and support. We value your trust and confidence in us here at Bar JV Angus.

We look forward to seeing you on sale day.

The Vitt Family,
Jim and Loretta :: Dale and Jill :: Cody and Sierra
