Please plan to join us on Saturday, December 12 at noon at the Culpeper Agricultural Enterprises as we host the 63rd Annual Culpeper Senior Bull Sale. The sale offering will include fall-born Angus, Gelbvieh, Gelbvieh Balancer, Simmental, and SimAngus yearling bulls. We extend our appreciation to Tom and Kim Nixon and family, along with the staff at Glenmary Farm for their development of the bulls and commitment to BCIA. The consignors to the Culpeper Senior BCIA Sale take very seriously their responsibility to maintain the long and rich history, and strong reputation of the program. This year’s group of bulls upholds that standard. We encourage you to study the pedigree, performance, and phenotype of these bulls. We are confident you will find the quality runs deep with bulls to fit multiple needs depending on your breeding program goals. The sale will be available online through LiveAuctions.tv. If you cannot join us in person, we hope this service provides you the ability to participate in the sale. See details contained in this catalog. Complimenting this, video is available on all the bulls which can be accessed on the BCIA website. As always, we will have bidding available over the telo-auction or feel free to give one of us a call if you need assistance prior to or during the sale. We would be happy to assist you any way we can to secure a bull that meets your needs. All bulls selling have passed a complete breeding soundness exam, including semen evaluation, as specified by the Society for Theriogenology. Volume buyer discounts are available with the purchase of three or more bulls. All bulls sell with the BCIA enhanced guarantee, which provides assurance for soundness and fertility, and a promise to you from the breeders that they stand behind their product. As an additional value-added service, we will provide delivery for bulls following the sale. Feel free to stop by Glenmary Farm near Rapidan any time to view the bulls. Contact any of the consignors, Tom Nixon of Glenmary Farm at 540-212-1866 or myself at 540-231-9159 if we can be of assistance in any way. We hope to see you on Saturday, December 12! Sincerely,

Scott P. Greiner BCIA Educational Advisor
