What a difference a year makes; from the loss of a 25 year pasture lease to record breaking heat and drought to welcoming 2 grandsons, Maverick and McCoy Merkel, this year has really been a whirlwind.
This year's offering has expanded numbers of bred heifers due to the drought in our area. Basically, the bred heifer offering includes everything that was checked safe in calf and that was in pasture with 98G. There are also a select few heifer calves on offer as well as an exciting opportunity to flush our 835 cow and a couple of outstanding embryo lots.
All animals in the catalog have been DNA'd or have DNA in process. All animals will have AHA Genetically Enhanced EPDs.

We are happy to be working again with Smart Auctions to bring you this sale in a convenient, mobile, reliable, and secure online bidding setting. You will be able to view, select, bid, buy and pay for animals in our sale from the convenience of your smartphone, tablet, or PC.
Though we are working with Smart Auctions to help make our sale convenient for you, you are still invited to the ranch on Saturday, September 18th for our ranch Open House. We will have sale cattle on display and facilitate the viewing of other cattle at various ranch locations. Online bidding options will be available at the ranch and we will start serving supper at 5pm, you can watch the sale closeout and enjoy some live music!
Our breeding philosophy is to focus on the female. Our cows are expected to perform; calve and mother without assistance, breed back in a timely manner and wean a good calf. The registered cattle are managed the same as the commercial cows. We don't single trait select, nor do we select for extremes. We select for traits that will complement one another, while continuously working at keeping our genetics problem free.
The females being offered represent our very best top end and are indicative of the future here.
Thanks to our current/past customers for cattle from our program to make a difference in yours. We appreciate your confidence and support. Be sure to reach out with any questions you may have. Our family is truly blessed to be involved in agriculture and with this great breed of cattle.  

Warmest Regards, the Ehlke Family
