Dear Cattle Friends –

We would like to invite you to the 3rd Annual Football Frenzy Bid-Off Sale, held on Saturday and Sunday October 6th-7th. We continue to utilize an aggressive ET and AI program to meet the increasing demand for high quality Hereford genetics. Many visitors feel this is the most exciting group of calves that we’ve offered for sale. The heifer prospects are deep and represent our top cow families. Many of these heifers have the ability to compete on all levels of the show circuit, but most importantly, they will perform in the pasture. The steer calves are powerful and are without question the best group we’ve offered. The first calves by “True Grit” sell, and we think you’ll be impressed. We will again offer flushes and embryo packages out of some of our foundation donors, including Kella, Adin and Ella.

Thank You to all of our past and future customers. We have been blessed to work with some outstanding families and AWESOME kids with a passion for Hereford cattle. Congratulations to our 2011 customers who excelled in the show ring. Winners include the Arkansas Jr. Preview Champion Heifer, Calf Champion at Louisville, class winners at Louisville and Jr. National, and numerous jackpot and county fair champions. It’s been a fun year, and we are thrilled to join in your success. Customer service is very important to us. We will be there to ensure you have an enjoyable experience owning a Mud Creek Hereford.

Join us throughout sale weekend for a football-style tailgate with food and beverages. We are located right off I-39 and Route 20 in northern Illinois. Lodging accommodations are available in Rockford and Freeport, all within 15-30 minutes of the farm. Please call us with questions, and visit our website for videos of the cattle, additional footnotes and bidding instructions. Thank you in advance for attending. We look forward to seeing you!
