This unique lot presents a great herd building opportunity. The Nelson family is allowing you pick of their 2012 heifer crop. If so desired, the buyer is then allowed to participate in an “every other” pick for up to 5 total 2012 born heifers with NLC. Once your first pick is made, Nelsons then select a heifer to keep, the buyer can then make an additional selection for the same price as the first heifer. Call for more details! The Nelson family has raised Simmental seestock since the early 1970’s and has ranched in the Wibaux, MT area for nearly 100 years. Practical philosophies of breeding and development ensure customers of durable genetics that generate profit under almost any conditions. This is evident in the high number of 11 and 12 year old brood cows still producing in the Nelson Cattle Company herd. High use AI bulls such as NLC Tomcat, NLC Fortunate Son 100N and their newest stud bull NLC Breakfree, now with ABS, speak to the long running popularity of the Nelson program. What an excellent opportunity to select from some of the most proven and consistent genetics in the business!

Trinity Farms Female Offering The Montana Choice Sale Group is pleased to feature 14 (two open heifers, four bred heifers, & six mature cows) select females from the reputable Trinity Farms herd of Ellensburg, Washington owned and operated by Mike & Paulette Forman, along with their son and daughter-in-law Robb & Debbie Forman. You need only attend the Forman family’s sale once to ensure the first Saturday of March is marked for the next year. The large crowd and the number of repeat buyers in attendance are easy to explain considering the cattle and hospitality are second to none. The Forman’s 100 plus bull offering is primarily comprised of SimAngus and Angus bulls, however a substantial number of purebred Simmental bulls and between 50 and 100 females are marketed through the event as well. Great customer service aside, it’s the genetic selection program at Trinity Farms that drives the value proposition of the bulls they market. The list of primary AI sires used in the Trinity program reads like a who’s who of the very best the Angus and Simmental breeds have to offer. Their donors too, have long productive histories at the ranch with most tracing back many The Forman Family generations in the Forman breeding program to help insure consistency and value. Special thanks to the Forman family for this rare opportunity!

Homo black. Homo Polled. This is physically the most attractive SimAngus heifer Trinity had to offer in the keeper pen. Much better than her picture, she carries the typical feminine and smoth features of Sharper Image heifers in her front and from the side, but with more spring of rib and squareness from behind. This heifer will make a wonderful project female for a young person looking to be competitive.

Folks ask me from time to time, where can I find Simmentals with old school growth, power and muscle? 2664 is that kind and has just enough look for a young breeder looking to show one successfully.

0259 is a future donor, plain and simple. Had she not come back with a later pregnancy this spring after weaning a huge bull calf (pictured), she would have never been offered for sale. Her Thunderbird bull calf may be one of the best Angus bulls ever raised at Trinity and is on his way to being the feature of the bull sale next spring! Trinity Farms would like to reserve the right to flush this cow at some point at their expense and the owner’s convenience.
