Welcome to our ranch
We thank all who supported our production sale in Ramsay for the last several years. Last year at our sale brought cold and blizzard conditions. Most of the bidding took place online, phone, or private bids. We decided we can keep the animals home with less stress and still have the cattle for sale by the same online DVAuction, honoring phone and private bids.
This year we will be offering 21 yearling bulls, one 2 year old bull, and 8 heifer calves. The theme for this year would be quality over quantity. We encourage viewing bulls and heifers on the ranch. We will be having a field day on February 21st at 11:00 till 2:00. Free lunch provided. If not able to make the field day contact us for a more convenient time. We will honor any private bids by phone or in person. The cattle for sale can also be found on our website at littlebitterrootranch.com. All pictures, videos, and information can be accessed on our website with link to catalog included.
We had a very dry winter, spring, and summer running out of pasture in July so we weaned the bulls the 22nd of July. The yearling bulls were worked up to 10# Lakeland Bull Developer and free choice hay. We are very pleased with the performance. They gained 3.72/day for the 125 day test. The group averaged 1319 yearling weight. We feel the bulls were not fed a hot ration just performance bred genetics and good weather.
So this year has been a challenge. Drought all winter, spring, and summer leaving us with 1/3 the hay production we usually get. The fall and going into winter has been a complete turn around. Blessed with well above average precipitation. We are learning to accept the bad with the good. Helps us learn not to be complacent.
Hope all are doing well with the good cattle market. Please give us a call with questions about our offering.
The Lord bless and keep you,
