2 PAVING THE WAY BULL SALE February 17, p.m. at the farm, Mitchell, South Dakota Cattlemen, Welcome to our 2017 Paving the Way Bull Sale. This is our 24th year bringing you honest, practical breeding stock. This year we lost Lori s dad, Kenny, who also raised Angus seedstock for another 50 years. We will carry on his passion for the beef industry. We also gained a son in law in October who joined the girls in the family bull clipping days! We are excited about this year s crop. Our bulls are putting together high performance numbers in practical useful clothes. We DNA tested all the bulls this year to increase the accuracy of their EPDs. Stop out early on the 17th at 3:30 to hear how you can use this information to improve your own calves from Shirley Thompson, Zoetis Animal Health. We would be glad to help you select a bull. Let us know your herd s goals and we will find one to fit your needs. We have the bulls to add pounds to sell whether crossbreeding or upgrading. Every pound counts, let Blacktop increase your profit.
