RELENTLESS PURSUIT OF ACCELERATED GENETIC PROGRESS
Welcome to our annual Spring Female Production Sale here at Cavender Ranches. We are delighted you have taken the time to join us either in person or on DV Auctions. We think we have a power packed lineup of females to offer coming from Cavender Ranches and our friends and cooperators in both the registered and commercial portions of this sale. We certainly want to thank all those participating with us in this great offering. The quality you have provided is second to none.
will also be offered and you can see their productivity. We will be splitting most of them in the ring and we would welcome the new owners of the bull calves to put them in our gain test and market them with us.
We will have our annual Customer Appreciation dinner to follow.
Saturday morning, we will lead off the activities with our Cutting-Edge Female Sale. These are bred and open heifers and a couple of first calf pairs from us and friends and are the kind we believe will propel programs forward in the beef industry. They are classy in their style, are our freshest genetics and present some of the most impactful performance values that can be produced in the Brangus breed. Following the Cutting-Edge Sale, we will offer some really nice bred and open registered females in volume in our Grass Time Sale. They will be offered in groups of 3. Customers will have the opportunity to pick one or sweep the ring. All performance values and pedigrees will be noted and the cattle will be sorted into uniform groups. After lunch on Saturday, we will offer 600 commercial females sorted into uniform groups. It will be our largest offering ever of pairs with over 400 to choose from, many with breed leading AI sired calves at side. We will also sell a select set of powerful open heifers and about 80 Fall bred heifers. We hope you can join us Friday and Saturday, April 26 and 27th at Cavenders Neches River Ranch for a spectacular offering of registered and commercial females. Please let us know if we can assist you in any way.
MARK COWAN CAVENDER RANCHES MARKETING & CUSTOMER SERVICE
This spring we have seen record prices for feeder calves. The demand for quality beef has never been greater. Our focus on producing cattle capable of impacting the Beef Industry is equally keen. Our cattle are more than just a “pretty face”. They are backed by years of data and thousands of cattle harvested. We continue to be consumers of our own product in our commercial herd and to collect the feedlot data necessary to guide our decisions in the Registered Cattle Industry, but we will never ignore phenotype and structural soundness. The cattle selling are able to produce the kind of stock bulls in such demand here at Cavender Ranches, high quality, structurally sound with the kind of numbers to move the industry forward. We are changing it up a little in this year’s female sale. Friday at 5:00 PM we are selling all the F model fall 3N1’s in our herd. These cows are 5 ½ to 6 years old and in the prime of their life as Justin Matejka says. They are the cows that we have built our foundation on. We have daughters in the herd and they have a lifetime of productivity in front of them. All of their calves
