We are filled with all sorts of emotion as we present this unique and unexpected offering of elite heifer calves to you. Our November 2023 Right By Design Production Sale was one of our strongest ever in each division. One of our online bidders, however, despite having great taste in cattle, turned out to be dishonest in his ability and commitment to pay for his purchases as promised when he elected to participate in our auction. He did not do the right thing and now we still have nine of our very best spring heifer calves to sell.
The good news is these heifers are as good or even better than they were before and now you have a "Second Chance" to own them. They need to be shown and developed and then put into breeding programs that will get the most enjoyment and profit from them. We will be happy to help you get the most out of them and, frankly, we want to see them compete in multiple hands because we know they can win; this may not have been the case had they all gone to one spot anyway.
All of us at Trennepohl Farms pride ourselves on fair and honest dealings. Unfortunately, that is not the case with everyone in today's society. November 25, 2023 was a very exciting yet humbling day for us. We learned a lot and it is our hope that, through our unfortunate experience, the online bidding platforms collaborate to improve their services to producers and offer us an improved and more secure avenue to merchandise our products that we can feel confident in. Working together will develop a solution to ensure this unfortunate event does not happen to any other firm. Please accept this as our invitation to your "Second Chance" to our best!
Nationwide transportation and show prep are available. Please call if we may provide more information. Cattle may be viewed at any time.
