How do we decide who sells in the Spring P/T Sale & who sells in the Fall Auction?
First off, let us say neither offering is EVER picked over. We make a deliberate sort in the yearling bulls, whether they're born in the spring or in our fall ET cooperator herds. With that in mind, we select a representative sample out of each group. At each sale, you have the opportunity at everything we're offering. Rest assured, no one has been able to come in and select something ahead of time. A note about the Fall-born ET Bulls:
In 2020, we started developing a fall ET offering with the help of our cooperators. These bulls are produced by flushing our best cows, selected because they shine in our herd. First off, they have outstanding fertility, having produced AT LEAST 3 natural calves at the front of our calving season. Then they have to have all the characteristics of a good range cow. Their structure is such they can navigate the rugged Flint Hills and maintain condition, they have good udders, sound feet, capacity, etc. Then and only then do we start looking at EPDs. An excellent cow FIRST, EPDs come second. We live our mission statement everyday: "Never wreck anybody's cow herd." When we say our bulls are Built for the Long Haul, we're protecting our cow herd AND yours. These same donors are used in-herd for spring ET work too. Spring or fall, you can have it all! |
How does the Private Treaty Bid-off work?
|
If you want a chance at EVERYTHING we're offering this spring, you need to be there (or have made arrangements with us ahead of time) on Thursday, April 17, 2025 and have your selections made by the 12pm start time. You will be issued as many tags as you want with your number on it. All bulls will have a base price posted. You'll place that tag on the bull(s) you're interested in by 12pm.
If you can't make it, don't worry. We can do your bidding for you. Like always, we'll handle your business with honesty & integrity. If at 12pm, multiple folks are interested in one bull, we will open up bidding between ONLY those folks with their tags on that particular bull. This is the "Bid-off" portion of the sale. We will ask those people and only those people to keep their hands up until the bull reaches a price where they're no longer interested. If the last 2 people drop their hands on the same incremental bid, the bull goes to the lower buyer number. (Want a low buyer number? Get one now by clicking here.) At that point, the people who did not get the bid-off bull just sold (and only those people) can move their tag to another bull that meets their criteria. When there are no longer any bulls with multiple tags, then the bid-off portion is concluded and any single-tagged bulls are considered sold. If you put tags out on 3 bulls and only need 2, please remove your other tags as soon as your order is filled. After the bid-off portion is concluded, it is a straight 1st-come, 1st-served sale. For your convenience and ease of viewing, we will have the entire offering available at DRI the rest of Thursday. After Thursday, don't worry: you can still buy a bull, but they will be at their home ranches - black AN & Sm AN at DRI, Red AN & red SmAN at KCC. |
