We felt it would be remiss if we did not give appreciative and heart felt thanks to the many people who have supported us and made it possible to con- tinue with our sales. Thank you to our repeat and new buyers that come year after year purchasing our Weaver Ranch genetics. Also, to Jim & Laura Jackson and other friends and neighbors that help get ready for the sale. We feel very blessed and fortunate, that for all of these years, we continue to do what we love so very much. Amazingly, we have made great friendships, that have lasted for many years. For these, we are so thankful. Last, but not least, a BIG thanks to Dr. Timothy Holt for getting a crew together to fill in for Dr. Mortimer, and getting our fertility testing done. Hope to see you on the 16th, and that in the spring we all receive some much needed moisture !!!! Susan & Mourine Calving Ease, Carcass Quality and Disposition ” are the words used in our sale ads. In addition to those traits, we appreciate our buyers for believing in our program—bulls that have low birth weights to be put on heifers for calving ease—therefore having more live calves at birth. Also, low PAP bulls that are actually PAP tested at a High Altitude, to help insure more calves survive and come off high county summer pastures alive.. As many of you are aware, they are finding “ Brisket ” , heart conditions in feedlot animals. T.V. Jones used to say in his catalog letter, “ The cattle continue to provide you a source of top bulls and very functional females. We will let the cattle speak for themselves when you see them on sale day ”. T.V. was our sale manager and passed away in 2017. In this years catalog, Dr. Robert (Bob) Mortimer was not able do his letter. Unfortunately, Bob, passed away a few days after our sale last year. He now joins Adrian, Sheldon, Lyle and T.V. riding in greener pastures and talking about cattle. We miss you all. Welcome fellow Cattle Producers & Friends. We truly appreciate the opportunity to invite our fellow Cattlemen and Friends to our 41st Annual sale. In 1960, when we were young girls, six and four, our father bought his first registered Angus cows. We were living at Tie Siding and came to “ love the cattle, and taking care of them. ” We fill very fortunate & blessed to still continue our ranching and raising black Angus cattle. Congratulations and “ Hats Off ” to our fellow cattlemen for their unwavering dedication to the cattle industry. Record cattle prices are being recorded , rewarding producers for all their efforts & hard work. The cattle that we are marketing are going on to be recognized as a healthy & wholesome source of protein for the world. Dietary guidelines, now, show beef in the top of the pyramid. Dad starting to Artificial Inseminate (A.I.) cattle in the mid 1960’ s, which was the start of many years of cattle improvement for Weaver Ranch. North of the town of Tie Siding, on the east side of highway 287, an alley still remains that he built for his first few years of A.I. ’ ing. It ’ s incredible how much the whole concept of Artificial Insemination and everything involved has changed. Every year or so we try to use at least one , new outside A.I. sire. This year ’ s offering has no new sires, but we are offering A.I. bulls sired by McConnell Altitude 3114 (son ’ s in 2024 and 2025 sales) and Stevenson Turning Point (son ’ s in 2024 sale). We are very excited with all the bulls in this years offering !!! Susan and Mourine took time in 2025 to attend social events for special people in their lives and industry.
