10th Annual Performance Simmental Bull Sale

Saturday, February 28, 2015 11 AMKnoxville Regional Livestock Auction Knoxville, Iowa

Featuring 30 SimGenetic Performace Bred Bulls

On behalf of the Iowa Beef Connection members and Ruble Cattle Services we would like to welcome you to the tenth annual Iowa Beef Connection Sale. This year we have a new, more centrally located sale site – Knoxville Regional Livestock Auction. The Sale will start at 11:00 am on Saturday, February 28th. The bulls will be on display and available for viewing any time on Friday, February 27th. As always the bulls can be viewed by appointment at any of the participating member’s development facilities prior to being hauled to the sale site.

This year’s offering is as strong as any year in the past. We’ve used some of the best bulls in the breed and also several new outcross bulls. The bulls are bred and developed to be rugged and athletic. Many of the bulls are large spread bulls that combine high calving ease, low birth, high growth, and lots of end product value. We have something for every level of producer. We will have potential stud bulls, heifer bulls, growth bulls, multipurpose bulls, and all the bulls have been bred to sire calves with lots of marbling and ribeye.

Our sale management team and marketing representatives will be happy to assist you in anyway if you are not able to attend the sale. As with past sales, IBC will offer to take all bulls home following the sale, free of charge until April 1st. At that point we will coordinate delivery of the bulls up to 250 miles. If you take your bull home the day of the sale we will deduct $50 from the sale price. We will guarantee the delivery price of the bulls to not exceed $250 per bull.

Sincerely,Marshall and Jeremie Ruble
