Welcome Friends! It’s our great pleasure to welcome you to the 46th Annual Krebs Ranch Bull Sale!
What an incredible time to be alive and be in the cattle business! Those of us making our living in ranching have seen both good times and tough times in this business but, most have never seen times as good as they are today. You, the cow/calf producer, are in the driver’s seat and holding all the cards! Indeed, times are really good for the American rancher…but for how long? That’s the question on everyone’s mind. The understandable fear among beef producers is that this incredible market will end before they sell the next set of calves. While none of us know the future…we strongly believe that this market isn’t going to change any time soon. In fact, the last quarter of 2025 revealed some very positive data telling us that this market has legs and will stay strong for some time to come, such as:
• As of November 2025, cattle on feed were down 2% from the previous year. • As of October 2025, placements were down 10% from the prior year…which was the LOWEST since 1996.
• Marketing of fed cattle was down nearly 12%...confirming a tighter supply of cattle. • Any herd expansion that may be happening…is happening very, very slowly.
As we each plan for the future of our respective operations, it’s important we deal in facts, not fear. And the fact is that beef consumers LOVE the top-quality product you produce and they’re paying you a good wage to produce it! So, stay the course…keep your customers happy…keep making the best cattle you can make…keep pushing forward. You are the master of your own destiny and this market is ready to reward you for the fruits of your labor! To help you meet your goals, we’ve sought out and made significant investments in new herd sires with advanced genetics that will guarantee you and your program stay at the forefront of this competitive business, including:
• Genetics that sire faster growing, thicker made calves with more QUALITY! • More carcass quality than ever before with improved marbling genetics!
• A large selection of new bloodlines and fresh pedigrees for cowherds that need to update! • Elite foot quality. We take foot quality seriously…if foot problems are a concern, we can help!
Last, but certainly not least…we want to express our deep gratitude for you, our valued customers. If you’ve done business with us before, our family thanks you for your continued support. Your loyalty means more to us than you’ll ever know. If this is your first experience with Krebs Ranch…we thank you for giving us the opportunity to serve you. Our team is eager to meet and exceed your expectations.
