Here's Brian Gill from Gill Red Angus of Timberlake, South Dakota, explaining his age-advantaged bulls.

"In the bulls there's, I said age-advantaged bulls, there's some two-year-old bulls in there and there's some fall bulls in there. Our program specializes in aged cattle. We like to sell them bulls a little bit older instead of pushing them to grow them. So we like to grow them on grass a while and get them, their frame, mother nature's way. So they really should hold up well for the next guy. One thing that we do is we pride ourselves in the customer service and along with delivering the bulls and standing behind our product, which we do, we also help our customers market their calves. And when our customers take their cattle to the sale barn and time to sell them or sell them off the farm, however they decide to market them, if they let us know, we will be there one way or another and try to round up some bids for them. We've purchased several thousand calves last fall and over the winter from our customers, either on order or for ourselves. We'll take them cattle, the ones we buy for ourselves, and we'll background them and get them to 900 to 1000 pounds and we'll sell them in the winter. We're peddling cattle now that we bought in October and November. And then we're also going to run almost a thousand steers on grass that we'll sell in August, September, and October that we purchased from our customers. And we also market several hundred head of replacement heifers that we purchased from customers. So we see the cattle from weaning until they grow up. We know which genetics are working and which aren't working and know a little bit more about the cattle that our bulls produce."

That's going to do it for today's Cattleman's Corner. Thanks again for listening and may God bless. I'm Brian Hale.

Justin Maus from Maus Angus Ranch shares his experiences, discussing his history in the livestock business, which began in 2014 when he started raising registered Angus cattle.

Located in the southwest of North Dakota, near the Montana-South Dakota border, the ranch has benefited from networking with neighbors and using online platforms like DV Auction for exposure.
