Test #65 56-Day Report

January 10, 2006

TO: Kansas Bull Test Consignors and Guests:

FR: Lori Schmitt, H.M. Schmitt, Inc.

We have a great set of bulls in Test #65. This mid-weight report reflects the excellent genetics these bulls possess. H. M. Schmitt, Inc. have brought the bulls along very nicely. Regardless of breed, the consignors should be extremely proud of the bulls they have put on test. Disposition of the bulls is also excellent.

Ultrasound data will be collected on all bulls prior to the final weigh date. Data will be reported in the final report along with the usual weight gain information. It is our intention to have the final report in the mail by mid-March and the sale catalogs shortly thereafter.

This year we will not have an official open house. Remember, bulls are always available for viewing at the feed yard. Encourage potential buyers to view the bulls at their leisure. Please have them call HM. Schmitt, Inc. prior to their visit so Harry and Doug can accommodate them properly. HM. Schmitt, Inc. is located one mile south of Tipton, Kansas on Hwy 181. Their phone number is (785) 373-4824.

As you can tell from this report we are still missing some information. Consignors, please send us your paperwork as soon as possible.

If you have any questions about the performance data, future KBT dates, or sale inquiries, please contact Harry (785-373-4824) or Doug (785-373-5025). We look forward to seeing you April 5, 2006 at the Mitchell County Fairgrounds in Beloit for KBT Sale #65.
