Bozeman, United States - March 23, 2017 /PressCable/ —

Venture West Ranches, a Montana farm and ranch brokerage based in Bozeman and Three Forks, Montana, have released a report on the latest Montana bull sales. This report focuses on bull sales at some of the best Montana cattle ranches and summarizes the overall health of local ranches and cattle prices.

More information is available at http://www.venturewestranches.com.

With beef prices down, Venture West Ranches released their new report that generated the general feel of the industry and summarized the market for both buyers and sellers. By attending three top-class Montana bull sales – Sitz Ranch in Dillon, Holden Herefords in Valier, and Cooper Herefords in Willow Creek – Buzz Tatom, sales representative and partner at Venture West shares his experience. Consequently, the report is an informed opinion about the state of the market, and just who is buying top-grade bulls.

An example of bull sales covered in the report is the Sitz Angus Ranch…one of Montana’s finest Black Angus breeders. This ranch provides bulls for commercial cow herd and seed stock. At their auction, the average bull sale price was $6,140. High-end bulls sold for $50,000 with a 1/3rd interest retained. Over 30 bulls sold for under $3,000. Excellent value for a Sitz bull at that price. Lots of options for Black Angus breeders and the cattle prices seemed to affect sale prices.

Montana, also, has two of the top Hereford breeders in the country so VWR decided to see what happened in Line 1 Hereford auctions. In comparison to Black Angus bull sales covered in the report, the Hereford bull sale at Holden Herefords and Cooper Herefords fetched higher prices. The average bull price at Holden Herefords was $10,610 with a high of $85,000 and a ½ interest retained. Lower priced bulls sold in the $4,000 range with a very few going in the $3000 range. Cooper Herefords sold for an average of $10,966. The highest price fetched was $155,000 with unknown interest retained. Lower price bulls had a few selling into the $3000+ range. There were excellent values in both sales.

Venture West Ranches, is a ranch brokerage that helps clients buy and sell ranches across Montana. With sales representatives from ranching backgrounds, Venture West Ranches knows and understands these significant properties and are proud to represent generations of work.

When asked about the report, author Buzz Tatom said, “My impressions from these auctions are that the bidders and sellers who attend these sales are some of the best-capitalized ranchers in the business and they are using this downturn to upgrade their herds with excellent genetics.”

Yolanda Hopkins upsets World No. 3 Gabriela Bryan to reach WSL Championship Tour Philippines Pro quarterfinals

MANILA, Philippines —  World No. 14 Yolanda Hopkins pulled off a major reversal, knocking out World No. 3 Gabriela Bryan to advance to the quarterfinals of the inaugural World Surf League (WSL) Championship Tour Philippines Pro at the iconic Cloud 9 reef break in Siargao on Saturday. Hopkins came through in Heat 2 of the women's competition, posting a combined score of 10.10 from waves worth 5.27 and 4.83 to eliminate the highly-ranked American and arrange a quarterfinal showdown with World No. 6 Caitlin Simmers in the event presented by the Philippine Sports Commission (PSC), with the support of Surigao del Norte Gov. Robert Lyndon Barbers, General Luna Mayor Johnson Sajulga and Vice Mayor Romina Sajulga. Bryan, finished ninth with a total of 7.00, combining scores of 4.00 and 3.00 to collect 2,000 championship points. The competition unfolded under four- to six-foot waves, giving the world's best surfers challenging conditions to display their skills, while calm winds helped maintain a steady lineup. Also making her way into the quarterfinals was Simmers, who dominated fellow American and World No. 11 Caroline Marks in their opening-round encounter. Simmers posted an impressive 15.17 on a 9.00 and a 6.17. Marks could only managed 9.00 from waves scoring 5.50 and 3.50 and likewise settled for ninth place with 2,000 championship points. Beyond her impressive performance, Simmers expressed her admiration for Cloud 9, describing the famed Siargao break as one of her favorite surfing destinations because of the technical challenges and opportunities it offers.  “Honestly, I keep telling people it's one of my favorite waves on the planet because it's just really tight, and you kind of have to do some exciting things in the spaces you get. It's pretty hard to just do your stock-standard couple of turns on it,” said Simmers. The American explained that Cloud 9 demands creativity and precise timing, as its changing sections can force surfers to adjust their approach while looking for opportunities to execute difficult maneuvers. She also singled out the wave's end section as a promising spot for aerial moves, expressing hope that the world's top female surfers would take advantage of the opportunity to showcase their skills. “I think I'm just hoping all the girls do airs because these are the best surfers in the world, best women in the world. And I know every single one of them can do an air on that end section. It's just a matter of timing, really,” she said. Simmers believes the challenging but rewarding nature of Cloud 9 could produce spectacular performances as the competition progresses, particularly with the world's best women surfers battling for a place in the next round. The event is also supported by the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR), Department of Tourism (DOT), Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH), Tourism Infrastructure and Enterprise Zone Authority (TIEZA), and NEA/SIARELCO.

Delos Santos sets new junior world records in Ningbo

MANILA, Philippines — Albert Ian Delos Santos finished out of the podium in the 2026 IWF World Weightlifting Championships, but delivered a promising performance by shattering two junior world records in the men’s 70-kilogram (kg) division in Ningbo, China. The 20-year-old Asian Junior champion came off a bronze finish in the 2026 Asian Games in Aichi-Nagoya, Japan, and was not over in setting new records as he eclipsed his previous world junior record He lifted a total of 331kg, built on 144kg in the snatch and 187kg in the clean and jerk. to surpass his previous total lift of 324kg that he made in the Asian Games. He also eclipsed his own record in the clean and jerk of 183kg. To put the 331 kg total into perspective, it is almost equivalent to the weight of a standard grand piano, an average commercial soda vending machine, or about 11 golden retrievers. First Filipina Olympic gold medalist Hidilyn Diaz formerly lauded Delos Santos and knew that he was meant to reach greater heights “Ian is one of our future Olympian gold medalist in the Philippines, as you can see he’s a junior world record holder, then he won here at 20 years old, competing in Asian Games, and it’s his first time,” Diaz told the media during Delos Santos bronze finish in Asiad.   “He is one of a kind, and I can’t describe how brave he is,” she added. North Korea took the top two spots, with Pak Pyol winning gold with a world-record total of 355 kilograms, while Ri Won Ju took silver with 343 kg, and China’s He Baozhen rounded out the podium with bronze, lifting 339 kg.

Delos Santos is expected to move up to the 75-kilogram category for the IWF qualifying competition in Qatar in December as he continues his international campaign.
