General Information & Terms
Feeding and Development of Bulls
All bulls of HRR and Open A were weaned in late October and received no creep
feed with the exception of a few Open A bulls that were ET calves produced at a re-
cipient herd. Calves received their preweaning and weaning vaccinations and were
handled in every respect as all natural. Bulls were fed to gain 2.5# per head per
day on a 1% grain and by product ration. 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
All of the historic photos in this catalog were taken by Inez Kessler, Annette’s great
grandmother, in the early 1900’s (1905-1908). 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 traveler’s going
south. This building still stands at the Curt Molm place.
