As I sit down to write this letter, I find myself reflecting on the past year—how much has changed and how far we’ve come. Our summer, our kids, our crops, and our cattle are all remarkably different from just a year ago. It feels like life is moving at light speed, but within that fast pace lies an exciting future. With record-high cattle prices continuing to hold strong, from feeders to culls, it truly is—and always will be—a great time to be in the cattle business. It’s with great pride and gratitude that we present what we believe to be an exceptional offering of cattle for your appraisal. First and foremost, we want to extend a heartfelt thank-you to all our customers and friends. Without the calls, connections, and relationships built over the years—or the new ones yet to come—none of this would be possible. Your support drives us forward, inspiring us to continually improve our cattle and our operation. This year’s cattle are no exception. Each one has been carefully evaluated to ensure they will stand the test of time and produce for years to come. Among the offering, you’ll find full and maternal siblings—both bulls and heifers—reflecting years of thoughtful breeding and selection. Sorting the bred heifers was no easy task; we’re committed to offering you our best, even as we recognize the potential impact some of these could have made within our own operation. This is one of the largest, deepest, and most impressive sets we’ve put together to date. Many of the bred heifers have the pedigree to move straight into a donor pen, supported by generations of proven genetics. The bulls, both Angus and Simmental, represent what we believe is our strongest lineup yet, with multiple full and half siblings from our top donors. No matter your needs, there’s something in this offering that will elevate your herd. The cattle market continues its upward trend, with feeder calves, cull cows, and bulls selling at all-time highs. As cow herd numbers dwindle, now is the perfect time to invest in the next generation of genetics to enhance and expand your herd. Of course, none of this would be possible without the incredible support system we have around the farm. Craig Schaufler has been with us for two years now, and his help has been a tremendous blessing. Ralph, who manages day-to-day operations at my uncle’s, consistently goes above and beyond, lending a hand even when he isn’t asked. To our family and friends who step up when the days get long, your contributions never go unnoticed. And to my wife, Shelby—your unwavering dedication and behind-the- scenes work keep this entire operation running smoothly, even when it’s like pulling teeth or I lose track of what needs to be done. We warmly invite you to visit our farm on Thursday, February 6th , or stop by anytime to view this exceptional offering. Thank you for your continued support, and we look forward to seeing you! WE WELCOME YOU
