On behalf of the sale consignors I would like to welcome you to the 2013 North Dakota Simmental Association Classic
Sale! 2013 marks the 42nd Anniversary of the North Dakota Simmental Association, and many of the consignors that are
involved stem from families that have been involved from the start.
This sale has developed a reputation as being a source of some of the top Simmental/SimAngus genetics available in
the land. The offering has been selected from the heart of some of the top programs in the upper Midwest! The cowherds
behind this offering present some of the top bull sales in the country each and every year!
There has never been a better time to be involved in the beef industry! The cow numbers are at an all time low and we
continue to see record prices for feeder calves. Commercial producers all over are searching for top end genetics to use
in their programs to take advantage of the times. As seedstock producers, you will find this sale provides the source for
those top-end bulls and females to assist you in providing those genetics to your customers.
If you are looking for bred heifers to produce bulls for the commercial and seedstock industry there are a lot of
opportunities here. The open heifers in the offering have some outstanding show heifer prospects for the Junior members.
There will be something to fit your needs and will make tremendous cows as they develop. Keep in mind the great
opportunities for Juniors with the Futurity program.
A couple of new items - this years sale will be broadcast on DVAuction for those who may want to participate over the
internet. Also, we will be posting updated photos and/or video clips on the North Dakota Simmental Association website:
We invite you to be with us on December 27, 2013 as well for the NDSA Annual Meeting and Banquet. We encourage
you to contact any of the consignors or sales staff if you have questions regarding this years offering and look forward to
seeing you on December 28th!
Sincerely,
Jeff Thomas and the Consignors of the 2013 NDSA Classic Sale
