P. 2
Welcome
Simmental Bulls
Greetings 2024!
We would like to take this time to thank all of our buyers
and bidders that made last year’s sale a success! We
truly appreciate your interest in our program and strive
to make you happy with your purchases! Our customers,
whether it be from last year or previous years, are what
keep us in business and we value each and every one of
you!
As we enter into our 48th year raising purebred cattle,
we like to reflect on what started out as a dream, and
with hard work and determination, has come full circle,
as we now have our daughter and son-in-law and their
family involved in the operation! (Nothing better than
having our grand kiddos out in the barns and lots at an
early age, exhibiting that same wide-eyed enthusiasm
that we had many years ago!)
Time flies but the cattle industry remains basically the
same. We all want easy keeping cows that calve eas-
ily and raise big calves. That’s where herd sire selection
comes into play and why it is so important to select bulls
that will get the job done well.
We select bulls to sell to our customers that we would
not be afraid to incorporate into our own herd. We cull
hard in the spring when the bull calves are born and
again in the fall as they are weaned and on feed. Just
because that calf is a purebred, that doesn’t mean he
has what it takes to be someone’s herd sire. The bulls are
on a grower feed ration that we have made in Harvey at
Feed Mix. The ration makes the most of their frames and
is not hot feed that will burn them out. Herd health is
very important to us, and every animal on the place is on
a select mineral program, as well as vaccine regimen.
You are welcome to view the bulls at the ranch prior to
the sale. They will be penned at Rugby Livestock Auction
beginning Thursday, February 22 for viewing there. If you
are unable to attend the sale, videos will be available on
DVAuction.com where the entire sale will be broadcast
live. Also, make sure to check out our Facebook page,
Starr Charolais & Angus for the latest notifications and
supplements.
We look forward to meeting new friends and catching
up with the old!
We wish you good luck calving, green pastures, and
bountiful hay in 2024 and beyond!
