Mick and Lynn Varilek, along with their son, Ross, hosted a very large crowd. These bulls all come through the ring, and these bulls all had some of the best dispositions that I’ve seen. It was a very active auction that moved very rapidly clear to the end.

All the bulls and females have been DNA tested with Angus genomic profiles, giving added information for each animal’s genetically enhanced EPDs. The Varilek herd is enrolled in Maternal Plus to provide their customers with additional reproductive trait data.
