Dear Cattle Friends – We would like to invite you to the 2nd Annual Football Frenzy Bid-Off Sale, held on Saturday and Sunday October 1st-2nd. Without question this is the highest quality and deepest set of cattle we have ever offered. The show heifer prospects are very strong and represent our focus on genetic and phenotypic excellence. They represent our best cow families and should compete at all levels of competition. Equally exciting is the brood cow potential that many of these females exhibit. The steer prospects are lower in numbers this year, but of the highest quality. Flushes and embryo packages on two of our foundation donors, Kella and Adin, will give breeders an opportunity to advance their programs and add fresh genetics. Thank you to all of our past and future customers who have shown the confidence in our program. There are plenty of great Hereford breeders selling cattle this fall. At Mud Creek Farms, we aim to separate ourselves by providing UNMATCHED customer service. Whether it’s helping you select the right animal for your program, offering nutritional or breeding advice, clipping services or just simply calling to catch up, we will work hard to meet your needs and make owning a Mud Creek Hereford an enjoyable experience! Last year we sold cattle in all price ranges, and we are confident we can meet your budget. Plan to join us Saturday evening for a football-style tailgate party with plenty of food and beverages. There are numerous lodging accommodations in Freeport and Rockford, all within 15-30 minutes of the farm. Please call us with questions and visit our website for videos of the cattle and additional information. Thank you in advance for attending. We look forward to seeing you!Garnhart Family
