Free Delivery to central points up to 500 miles. Balance will be at cost. We will make
every effort to assist in deliveries of greater distance or by private arrangements and
volume purchases. Delivery will be made at our convenience and efforts will be made
to have bulls delivered by April 1.
Feeding and Development of Bulls
All bulls of HRR and Open A were weaned in late October and did not receive
creep feed with the exception of a few Open A bulls that were ET calves produced
at a recipient herd. Calved received their pre-weaning and weaning vaccinations
and were handled in every respect as all natural. Bulls were fed to gain 2.5lb per
head per day on a 1% grain and by product rotation. Bulls were fed free choice
mineral, salt, and hay. We took yearling weights at approximately 105 days post
weaning with no post weaning adjustment period or warm up period. Our intent
was to grow out the bulls for maximum longevity and integrity of the bull.
Historic Photos
Most of the historic photos in this catalog were taken by Inez Kessler, Annette’s
great grandmother between 1905 and 1908 in the Gaylord, ND area. Inez was
the only person to have a camera in the area and as a result she took pictures of
many people and events. The town of Gaylord was located about 13 miles south of
Belfield, ND along US Highway 85. The Gaylord Post Office and store was a stop
for travelers going south. This building still stands at the Curt Molm place.
