HERD INFORMATION: This herd was founded in the ‘60’s by the late (Bro) Dick Gillam. Mr. Gillam strived to improve his herd each year, he purchased the very best bulls that were available to him (for many years A. L. “Bud” Meek, filled this order). After Bud’s retirement, Bro Dick would purchase the top bulls from the D. S. Moss program & continued on into the present day Partner’s Sale. This past season, the farm purchased 2 bulls from the Nichols program in Clinton. This herd has the foundation to utilize forages & raise you an excellent set of calves each year. You will like what you see in this sale.
