Dear Friends, Welcome to our 33rd Annual Production Sale. On behalf of the entire Stucky family, we invite you to join us on March 11 for an outstanding set of 129 age advantaged Registered Angus bulls and 78 herd building females. We’re all living through a rare moment in the beef business—strong markets, strong demand, and a consumer who continues to choose high quality beef. As someone who has spent a lifetime in the American Angus Association and Certified Angus Beef programs, it’s been rewarding to see more than 1.2 billion pounds of CAB product sold across the U.S. and 55 other countries in 2025. For producers who have focused on breeding cattle that hit the mark for quality, it’s been a year that proves the value of disciplined selection. At Stucky Ranch, we’re committed to pushing our breeding program even further. We believe a great Angus cow should be the natural result of our selection goals—not an accident. The American Angus Association’s tools for $Maternal selection have allowed us to emphasize the traits that matter most: calving ease, weaning weight, milk, heifer pregnancy, docility, mature cow size, and foot quality. As ranchers, we no longer have to choose between maternal strength and carcass merit. The real opportunity is in combining both—building cows that work for you every day while producing calves that fit today’s high quality beef market. The prog - ress being made in this direction is exciting, and we’re proud to contribute our small part to it.
Of the bulls selling this year, 93% meet the Certified Angus Beef Targeting the Brand® specifications, and 100% of the registered females do as well. 74% of the bulls rank in the top third of the Angus database for $Combined Value, along with 86% of the registered heifers. Depth, quality, and consistency run throughout this offering. As you study the sale cattle, our website will feature a sortable Excel spreadsheet with every EPD, $Value, and performance measure— making it easy to sort and identify the cattle that best fit your program. Individual lot videos will be available after March 1 on our website and on DV Auction. If we can help you sort through the data or talk through your bull needs, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re blessed with a crew that keeps this place running. Nic Lampe continues to do an outstanding job day in and day out. Our day help crew— Scott L., Blaine, Jerry, Scott H., and Randy—are appreciated more than they know. We’re also mindful that we’re only caretakers of God’s creation, and we hope to leave it better than we found it. Sale cattle will be penned for viewing on Tuesday by 3 p.m., followed by our steak supper at 6 p.m. Sale day viewing begins at 10 a.m., with a beef lunch at 11:30, and the sale starting promptly at 1 p.m. Thank you to all our past customers for your continued trust and support. We look forward to visiting with you and meeting new friends on sale day. Best regards,
Gordon
