Bentke Cattle Co. “Your Key To Success” Online Sale Vol. III
Location
Dear Brahman Friends and Enthusiasts,
It is with extreme excitement that we present this set of cattle for your consideration. We feel this set is a great representation of our breeding program, with cattle that will be competitive and productive at the highest levels.
Over the past year we have thoroughly listened to our customers and what the market is demanding and worked to provide it and then some. We have gone above and beyond to provide:
- Younger females already started on halter so you have more show eligibility time with them. Roughly half of the offering is 5-6 months old at the time of the sale
- DNA verified pedigrees – all live lots either have DNA on file or it is in the process of being tested.
We’ve done our best to illustrate the cattle through the photos, videos, and footnotes, but you are more than welcome to see all the sale lots in person at the ranch just outside of Brenham, TX by appointment. Or, if you are unable to make it out to see them in person, we have both Chris Shivers and Milton Charanza looped in to answer any questions you may have from a third-party point of view.
Chris Shivers, Infinity Cattle Services – (713) 202-1747
Milton Charanza, Broken Triangle Cattle Marketing – (979) 450-8558
My family and I sincerely thank you for your interest in this sale.
With gratitude,
Shane Bentke – (979) 451-1525
