Greetings Cattle Enthusiasts: Thank you for taking the time to look over our offering! We would love to personally show you the bulls and their mothers any time! This past year has rewarded us with good grass, average crops and a great set of bulls! This set is sired by industry leading sires, and it shows with better performance on the front end and even better calving-ease for those wanting to breed heifers to capitalize on the strong cattle market. The feeder calf sales are the best we’ve ever experienced! The heifer retention rate is still low so we should have several years ahead of good prices. This year we have partnered with Blue Reef marketing to give you a quick update on the markets. I would encourage you to sign up for their market updates and use Livestock Risk Protection contracts to protect these record profits. Our number one goal is to have the most profitable cattlemen in the industry as customers and we feel Blue Reef is a company that can help you achieve that. The biggest investment we have made in your profitability has been our GrowSafe feed efficiency system. This is really starting to show extra profitability through the steers we’ve been feeding and the seedstock we are testing. Feed costs are your biggest expense, and we are continually working to lower that and maintain or increase performance. Remember after 15 years and 2000+ test results even our lower efficiency bulls are still above most other ranches. Buy seedstock that work for you and your bottom line! This year we have a larger group of SimAngus bulls that I think you will appreciate for their length and calving ease. The Angus bulls have a couple real headliner performance bulls and then a nice group of calving-ease bulls. The Balancers have the big performance bulls you’ve come to expect coupled with more carcass and efficiency than ever before! All our cows are run much like yours with a limited breeding period and no second chances — this has led to our herd moving to the top of the Breed for Dam of Merit cows with the most of any breeder in the nation and the highest in herd percentage! Gina and Jana have once again done a great job mating, calving and presenting this set of bulls. Call either of them with any questions about the mother cows and if you have questions on the Angus cows and low percentage black balancers call Dustin, our north ranch manager. The bulls will sell nearly in catalog order with a tentative sale order including lots 1-23 selling followed by lots 102-222 and finishing with lots 24-100. We hope you can come view the bulls sale day or any time prior. We are always excited to show the bulls and their mothers. If you aren’t able to attend, make sure to watch on DVAuction where videos of each individual bull will be posted. Ultrasound data should be available about 1 week prior to the sale. Vaughn
