Dear Friends: We invite you to join us on Saturday, December 14 at noon at the Culpeper Agricultural Enterprises as we host the 67th Annual Culpeper Senior Bull Sale. We would like to extend a huge thank you to Steve and Blake Hopkins at Riverview Farms for their excellent care and management of the bulls, and their support of Virginia BCIA. Please join us at Riverview Farms’ bull development facility outside Louisa for the Open House which will be held on Sunday December 8, from 1:00-4:00 p.m. This will be an excellent time to view the bulls and visit with the breeders and everyone involved. We hope you can join us! We are proud to be home of the oldest, most continuously operated bull test program in the nation. With steadfast commitment by the consignors, and the loyal support of buyers over the years, the Culpeper Senior program has stood the test of time for more than six decades. We believe this set of bulls lives up to the high standards that have been set in terms of high quality, predicable genetics. Again this year, we had incredible interest in the Culpeper program with 160 bulls evaluated. Only the top half will be sold! Study their pedigrees, performance, and phenotype and we think you will agree this is an outstanding set of bulls! If you cannot join us in person, the sale will be available online through LiveAuctions.tv. 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 on sale day. 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. We will provide complimentary delivery for bulls following the sale. Feel free to stop by Riverview Farms near Louisa any time to view the bulls. Contact any of the consignors, Steve 540-205-7798 or Blake 540-223-1886 at Riverview Farms, or myself at 540-231-9159 if we can be of assistance in any way. We hope to see you on Saturday, December 14!

Sincerely,

Scott P. Greiner BCIA Educational Advisor
