Forster Red Angus 2011 Annual Bull Sale

Scott Dirk

The Kenny Forster Family hosted their annual bull sale at Stockmen’s Livestock Exchange on Dec. 19, 2011. The Forster family started raising registered Red Angus in 1967. Since then they have been raising quality cattle to fit the demands of the beef industry and their customers.

This set of sale bulls had been developed to work in the real world. Born in May, weaned in November and wintered on a high-roughage ration. The next summer they are run on grass as summer yearlings. This insures soundness and longevity, along with allowing the genetic potential to shine through. The only time the bulls get any extra supplement is in the fall prior to the bull sale. Forster Red Angus repeat bull buyers have been very pleased with the lower maintenance and longevity of their Forster bulls.

Topping the sale was Lot 4, Forster Leg X018, a May 8, 2010 son of 5L Legend 791-7065 with EPDs of BW 0.6, WW 43, YW 85 and Milk 21, to Larry Denke, Long Valley, SD at $10,500.
