Greetings Friends and Fellow Cattlemen, We are experiencing some very good times in the beef business today with record-high prices and low inventory numbers. There appears to be a bright future for years to come. Now is as good of a time as there is to improve the genetics in your herd for the future. We are excited to present this offering of bulls and females to all of you at our 8th Annual Produc- tion Sale at Heartland Regional Stockyards in Plainville, Kansas, on Monday, March 9, 2026. As we study this offering, we feel this is the most balanced set of bulls in terms of our goals for ma- ternal, soundness, performance, and phenotype with opportunities of superior carcass quality. There are some of the most popular sires in the breed represented in this group, but we did not veer from our core values. You will also find that we have selected some of the very best bulls that have come through our program to use back in our breeding selections: bulls like Explorer, ForeRunner, Propel, and Logo 1287. We truly believe in our genetics. As you read through the footnotes about our reference sires and individual lots that are selling, we talk a lot about cow production and maternal value. We believe that the focus needs to, first, be on the cow and keeping her fertile and in production for many years but not give up performance. Which is where our slogan “Profitable Performance in a Maternal Package” comes from. Not all performance is profitable; for instance, if a first-calf heifer weans off a 700-pound calf but comes up open, did we really gain anything? We want these females to turn in a good calf and be ready to do it again year after year for true profitability. All the bulls and registered heifers in the offering have been carcass ultrasounded and genomic tested. This marks 18 consecutive years of carcass data collection, not only on our bulls but the females that we retain in the herd. The data will be posted on our website prior to the sale, as well as available sale day. Videos will be available on DVAuction by February 25. It would be our pleasure to assist you in finding your next herd bull(s) from this offering, as well as stand behind him with a first breeding season guarantee in the event that an injury occurs. Cattle will be available for viewing any time at the ranch prior to the sale. They will be transport- ed to Heartland Regional Stockyards on Saturday, March 7, and will be able to be evaluated that afternoon and all day Sunday in addition to Sale Day. This will be a live auction with each lot making their way through the sale ring individually. Let us know if you have any questions about
our program or the cattle in this offering. NEW THIS YEAR! We will post a sale order a few days prior to the sale as they WILL NOT be sold in catalog order as in year’s past. Cody & Jeff
