Welcome to the 4th Annual Forgey/Graesser Angus and Simm-Angus Bull Sale!
We are excited with this year’s bull crop and feel they have performed well throughout the whole year. e bulls
have been handled in a manner that we feel they will perform and have many days of breeding cows ahead of them.
is is what we strive to do for you, the commercial cattleman. e ration is a high roughage 46 Mega cal ration. We
have not changed the way they have been developed in the past. With this ration, we do not try to hide anything about
these bulls. Our cow herds are handled just like the commercial cows we have. is way we can tell what we have and
what works for the commercial cowman. As you walk through the pens you will see the disposition on the bulls. I
think you would have a hard time of finding a quieter set of bulls anywhere.
As you go through the catalog, you will notice that many of the bulls are calving ease with still plenty of
performance. We have two sets of ET bulls, out of what I think were two of Assman Land & Cattle's best cows. ALC
Lilly P72P is on the front cover and a group picture of her sons by Sitz Upward 307R. Also, the Simm x Angus bulls
are lighter birth with some added performance. We look forward to talking to you and getting any feedback on the
