Generational family ranches are the pride of the industry. These family operations have endured many challenges over the years, and those managed well flourish, especially in times such as these. The L83 is recognized throughout North Dakota and the surrounding Canadian neighbors as a brand of loyalty, integrity, and stewardship. Stewardship of the tillable acres and the grassland that supports the passion within the barbed wire fences of the Lodoen Family operation. Ben and Lacey represent the youngest generation of the family operation and trust us when we say it’s in very good hands. The Newlyweds will continue the trails blazed before them with the great intention of improving and increasing the assets that make the operation successful in the right ways at the right time. These cattle that grace the pages of this sale book represent sweat and fiscal equity, dedication, and unwavering perseverance in breeding and developing a product that is not only suitable for profitable production for them but also for their loyal customer base. These Red Angus cattle are the kind with just a little more! A little more profit potential, a little more growth, a little more gain, a little more maternal instinct, with a whole lot more customer service. Ben’s passion and dedication to continuing to produce Red Angus cattle that encompass the broad scope of the industry are relentless. The research, time, and acquisition investment are evident year over year in weights, measurements, and overall quality. We think many will share our opinion on the New Sale Date, February 24, the fourth Tuesday of February. The bulls will be suited up and ready for turnout. They are very robust in design, with plenty of shape, depth, density, and substance of skeleton. They will have the genetic tools and data to support efficient but substantial growth, with added carcass traits and sensible calving merit. Never in our lifetime have live calves been more valuable than they are today, and these Red Angus studs are prepared to deliver on all levels. Industry-wide, the influence of these red- hided cattle is recognized from coast to coast and border to border, as they are the true commercial man’s kind. Ben has done a masterful job of mating and developing these bulls, and we know that you will recognize that they fit the mold for the prototype herd bull, whether seedstock or commercial. If you have never attended an L83 Ranch Bull Sale, we strongly encourage you to do so. If you have been before, we invite you back for the food and hospitality from the great folks at Kist Livestock. Ben is available for any and all sale-related matters and is your best contact for more information about this offering of Red Angus herd sire prospects. However, if you need assistance with selection or sight- unseen purchasing, please reach out to any member of the Innovation Ag Marketing team as well. When people invest or do business with the great people in the industry, good things happen for all involved, and this is one of the GREAT places with GREAT people that will bring
peace of mind about who you spend your money with. Thank you for your interest. Please enjoy the cattle.. Tim Anderson, Graham Blagg & Jered Shipman
