For the 43rd year in a row, cattlemen from across the west joined together in Fallon to participate in the Fallon All Breeds Bull Sale. This year’s bulls ranged from yearlings to two-year old bulls. The overall sale average was $1,708 on 113 bulls. Cattlemen from California, Idaho, Utah and Nevada attended the sale looking to buy their range-ready bulls for the upcoming season.
The Nevada Cattlemen’s Association (NCA) will present an embroidered jacket to this year’s volume buyers, Wilfred Bailey from Eureka, Nevada; Martin Ranch located in Eureka, Nevada, Jackson Ranch located in Gerlach, Nevada, and Fred Hicks from Fallon, Nevada. This year’s buyer award was sponsored by Pinenut Livestock Supply. We appreciate the support of our loyal buyers and the allied industry members such as Pinenut that help make this sale a success.
The buyer of the highest selling bull was Stix Cattle Company of Fernley, NV. Stix Cattle Company purchased Lot 112 from Amador Angus for $3,200. We appreciate the dedication of both Stix Cattle Company and Amador Angus for being dedicated buyers and consignors for years. The Nevada Cattlemen’s Association and the Fallon Bull Sale committee thank you for your support.
Along with the dedicated group of buyers and consignors that participate in the sale each year, there are several sponsors who help make the sale possible year after year and they include: Pinenut Livestock, (awards for Best of Breeds, and Top Overall Range Bull); Walco (ear tags for the sale); and the Fallon Convention Center (grant for advertising). Along with these dedicated sponsors we would also like to thank our new sponsors, Hoof Beat Gates and Corrals for donating the panels for our raffle; Bonanza Inn and Casino Super 8 Motel who donated rooms for the Fallon Bull Sale committee as well as the staff of NCA. We would also like to thank Chris Gansberg who contributed to the raffle calf. Without the support of these great sponsors the Fallon Bull Sale would not be possible.
