SALE OPENS SUNDAY, AUGUST 25!!!

For those of you that have already registered and are chomping at the bit to do some online bidding you will be happy to know that you can begin on tomorrow, Sunday August 25! We are so excited and looking forward to seeing all of you or hearing from you. We have had a lot of traffic so far and there is a lot of excitement about the calves this year. There have been a lot of comments about how deep the quality runs in this group. The calves have been doing great and although we are having a heat wave at the moment, everyone of the calves seems pretty comfortable. The crew has been up early in the mornings to get calves rinsed before it gets too hot. The fridge is stocked with cold water and the staff is ready to answer any questions you might have. I hope to see you all really soon!!!

2013 SULLIVAN RANCH CLUB CALF PARADISE SALE

There are lots of incredible new things going on at Club Calf Paradise this year. I hope you folks are prepared. This year Dan Sullivan/Sullivan Ranch will be my SOLE consignor. I am excited to have the opportunity to represent Dan's calves at my facility in the heart of the Club Calf universe. If you are new to the show cattle industry you will soon learn that the Sullivan name and cattle set the standard nationwide. These cattle are the result of generations of outstanding breeding choices from the world's finest genetics. It is not mere coincidence that the winners circles at almost any county fair or national show have cattle linked to Sullivan Ranch. Over the next several weeks the fine crew of calf fitters will be working diligently to get the sale offering ready for presentation during the Labor Day Sale. We will be opening the gates on or around August 22 and the Bunkhouse will be abuzz with activity. All of the calves are weaned this year as normal but they will not be halter broke. With the intensive handling that they will be receiving until sale time they will most likely be very quiet and calm. All calves will be screened for disposition so if you are looking for something specific please talk to any of us. I am a Mom so I like to make sure my less experienced customers get a calf that is a good "fit"! The calves are arriving today and the first report from Nick Anderson, my Assistant Manager, is that the steers are the best set he has seen! QUOTE: "SOME OF THE BEST STEERS WE HAVE EVER HAD HERE BY FAR! THERE ARE BIG BIG TIME SHOW STEERS IN HERE!" I am taking a moment to blog after hanging sale flyers at the Iowa State Fair today. I can hardly stand waiting to see the calves. These are the top pick from all of the Sullivan Ranch E.T. calves. There will be something for everyone...Herefords, Chars, composites, ...the list goes on and on. And the quality will be second to none. You seriously won't want to miss this offering! I hope to see you all soon!!! Juli
