POST ROCK CATTLE COMPANY
Dear Fellow Cattle Producers:
Welcome to this years edition of the “Cowman’s Kind” bull and female sale. Top genetics and top management practices are
being rewarded today more than ever. The benefits of heterosis and increased pay weights from cross breeding are again being
realized by producers. With the herd expansion that’s soon going to take place, what better time to add or increase the use
of Gelbvieh and Balancer genetics to your herd. The Meat Animal Research Center documents the Gelbvieh cow as the most
efficient cow in the industry from a pounds of weaned calf per cow exposed and the most economical cow size stand point.
Thus it stands to reason that commercial producers with Gelbvieh influenced females will benefit like never before and have the
most sought after replacement females in the industry.
This years’ sale offering is really strong. The cows selling truly represent over 25 years of relentless culling and selection pres-
sure. The bulls are a tremendous group, and are loaded from top to bottom in both the Purebred and Balancer group. There
are several new sire groups to choose from this year and some of our most proven genetics sell in volume sire groups. Nearly
600 cows and many AI and ET matings are involved in producing the bulls selling and they reflect that level of culling and com-
mitment. You’ll notice more ET produced bulls than ever before and we have chosen this route to increase our bull numbers
slightly rather than lower our standards at the other end. We are proud of each and every bull selling, and all are expected to
have a positive impact on their new owners’ program.
We’re proud of our commitment to customer service and guarantees that have been in place for many years. As in the past,
we offer a first breeding season guarantee, breeding soundness exams, homozygous black, homozygous polled, sight-unseen
purchase guarantees, as well as free bull care of free delivery. These are covered in our Terms and Conditions page. Again this
year, we offer the Igenity DNA test and the PI negative test on every bull selling. We’re willing to assist Post Rock customers
utilizing the American Gelbvieh Association commercial marketing program with replacement female lists, the Gelbvieh feeding
fax, the Gelbvieh alliance and the new Smart Tag program. We’re charter members of the Gelbvieh Profit Partners and would
be privileged to contact them about bidding on your Gelbvieh and Balancer sired calf crop. if there is anything we can do to help
increase your profitability, lets us know, as our survival in the seed stock business is based on your profitability and patronage.
As in the past, we have bulls from our cooperator herds: Meadowlark Gelbvieh, Dawson Creek Gelbvieh, Biggs Brothers, Twin
Oak Gelbvieh, and Stucky Gelbvieh. The addition of cooperative herds has allowed us to increase selection pressure placed on
bulls as well as offer more bulls. We share in the income from these bulls, and they are represented and guaranteed just like
our bulls. Should a problem arise, you will deal with Post Rock
We look forward to seeing you March 16 at the sale. Our experience from the past is that, unfortunately, we cannot spend
enough time with each of you on sale day. We encourage you to call or visit at any time prior to the sale.
Sincerely,
Bill and Leland Clark
