Don't have time to?
For a fee, we will keep heifers purchased at our sale and calve them out. After your last heifer calves, we will deliver pairs to you. In the unlikely event that we should lose a calf, we will offer a like replacement. If a suitable replacement is unavailable, we will offer a full refund (purchase price + calve out fee). Please note: we can not offer a live calf guarantee on heifers taken home to calve.

Don't need your bull until spring?
If you elect to, we will keep your new bull purchase up until April 15 of the following year. Fees for this service are designed to cover "room & board" along with insurance to protect your valuable investment. Should the bull not be serviceable on April 15, we will replace the bull with one of like kind and quality. If a suitable replacement is not available, we will refund purchase price + "room & board" fee.

Turning Cull Heifers into Profit Centers
Do you want to shorten your breeding (and calving!) season but not stand the usual financial hit on open heifers? Consider feeding them with us. We feed ours out and have averages over $1150/head with a small additional feed investment. Doing this has netted us an extra $300+/head over the last several years. Check out some of our data here.
You can get carcass data, shorten your breeding & calving seasons, select for fertility and make more money all at the same time. Talk to us for more details.
