BULL DEVELOPMENT

Our feeding program is built to maximize forage utilization and gut health. Forages are sampled and analyzed to ensure quality. The bulls have been summered on grass, and wintered on a forage-based TMR that matches suitable protein sources to proper starch to develop and express their genetic potential and promote lean muscle growth. Organic minerals are used to ensure proper immune function and overall health. Throughout the fall and first part of winter they are fed in the field, for maximum exercise. They will continue on the same feeding program post-sale. They have been responsibly developed slowly for longevity in commercial conditions. If you have questions about the nutrition program please reach out to us or our nutrition consultant.

HERD HEALTH

Hillview Farms is on a complete herd health vaccination program. Calves receive Bovi-Sheild Gold One Shot and Vision 8 Somnus + Spur before they go to pasture and are boostered pre-weaning with the same two vaccines. The coming two year old bulls are also boostered in the fall. Breeding females receive Covexin Plus, Vira Shield 6 + VL5 HB and Scour Bos. Every animal also receives Solmectin in the fall and CyLence in the winter. All bulls have been scrotal measured, semen tested, and inspected by a veterinarian prior to sale. A copy of the test results will be provided to the buyer. Weights, scrotal measurements and homozygous polled results (where applicable) will be available prior to sale day. Heifers will be palpated by a veterinarian prior to sale.
