On behalf of the Southern Excellence Bull Development Group we would like to invite you to save the date for our 4th annual Southern Excellence Simmental, SimAngus and Angus bull sale on November 19th.  You read that right this year the sale will offer purebred Angus genetics.  

Ronnie and Debbie Gilmore
Gizmo Angus Farm
Ronnie and I are excited to be a part of this elite sale.  We delivered five stout young bulls to Rick Whelan on June 30th.  Rick and his wife Lisa work very hard to insure the health and welfare of these animals.


The focus of the Southern Excellence is to DEVELOP bulls that are in optimum condition to be released into your herd and go straight to work.  All will have passed a breeding soundness exam and will have complete ultrasound data collected.  All bulls will sell with a 100% guarantee.

The sale management will be in the hands of Ruble Cattle Services.  Jeremie Ruble personally viewed each calf that will be included in this program.  Every effort is made to insure each bull delivered will have excellent EPD's as well as excellent structure.

The five calves representing Gizmo Angus genetics in this years sale will be:

Gizmo CC7 C2 324 327 Reg# 18472511 - This young bull is out of a first calf heifer that we purchased at the Southeast Classic from Bannister Farms in 2015.  She is everything we had hoped for.  She bred back AI the first time through the chute.  C2 had a actual birth weight of 74 pounds and an adjusted weaning weight of 623 pounds and a weaning ratio of 111.
SAV Pioneer 7301 sire of C17

Gizmo Pioneer C17 1120 7301 Reg# 18472508 We have been very pleased with the Pioneer calves, the daughters are making superior cows and the bulls are stout.  This calf had a actual birth weight of 74 pounds with an adjusted weaning weight of 680 pounds and a weaning ratio of 108.
Coleman Donna 6143
Flush Sister to the sire of C21

Gizmo EXT C21 0524 6149 Reg# 18490328 -This ET calf is out of a mating we are pretty excited about.  The Coleman EXT bull just didn't have any holes in him, his progeny are deep with plenty of muscle and stand on excellent feet and legs, his daughters have picture perfect udders. the SAV Blackcap May cow is a powerhouse of a cow, she is thick, deep with a beautiful udder. We only got four eggs out of the flush but they all stuck so we were tickled.  In addition to the C21 calf we are sending one of flush brothers to the Florida Bull Test the other will be developed at our farm.  The one heifer will be bred in the fall, all four calves are like peas in a pod.  C21 had a actual birth weight of 80 pounds and an adjusted weaning weight of 616 pounds and a weaning ratio of 98.
SAV Blackcap may 6097 Grand Dam of C21



Gizmo Charlo C32 744P 0256 Reg# 18472520 - This bull was purchased as an embryo from the Coleman program in Montana.  This calf should make a heifer bull.  His sire Coleman Charlo is a meat wagon. C32 had a actual birth weight of 78 pounds and an adjusted weaning weight of 642 pounds and a weaning ratio of 102

Giz Rainmaker C41 7009 6169 - 18472528 -Another ET calf out of the Coleman program in Montana.  We have two bull calves out of this flush and both are stout little suckers.  We have retained C41's flush brother to use in our herd this coming year.
