10)  10 straws of GF Mercedes Ultimatum 6U donated by Gilchrist Farms.

2010 Ontario Show Bull of the Year! That’s one way to describe this very smooth, correct bull sired by Leachman Saugahatchee 3000C and out of the Mercedes 13N donor cow that Gilchrist Farms have had such great success with.  Mercedes 13N has now produced over $90,000 in sales in her short life, and has progeny working all the way from BC through the prairies, Ontario and down into the USA.  Ultimatum has had a very successful show career to date taking home banners from point shows across Ontario both as a yearling and now a two year old.  His first progeny were born unassisted and have filled out fast to impress even the toughest critics.  This is your chance to invest in a great bull with an outstanding pedigree and you can rest assured it was a wise investment.
