Page 2 - Bar JV Angus Bull and Heifer Sale – March 28, 2023

Welcome

Welcome to our 2023 production sale. We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your continued support and interest in our
program.

We have been focused on raising functional and efficient cows for 48 years. Our ideal is for them to stay in the herd for many years and raise
a big calf with little maintenance. We have a strict culling program for our cows. We have a number of ten to fourteen-year-olds that are 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 year started off promising, but the combination of the rain stopping along with the fact that grasshoppers were the worst they’ve ever been,
made for light weaning weights. The ratios will be a good indicator of what their real performance is. The bulls were weaned the beginning of
October and it didn’t take long for them to catch up once they were on good feed. 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. 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 corn and a Hubbard pellet 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 by Dr. Gary Scheiber of High Plains
Veterinary Clinic in Sidney, Montana. A supplement sheet with yearling weights, and scrotal information will be available on sale day. All bulls
have been DNA tested with Zoetis HD50K test.

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
