WELCOME



                                                    Hello and welcome to our Production Sale.

                                                    First off, we would like to thank all our past customers for their support
                                                    in our program and welcome any new customers. We feel extremely
                                                    blessed that so many of you have put your trust in our program. I would
                                                    also like to thank my family and friends for everything they do for our
                                                    operation.

                                                    We really enjoy getting to know our customers and their operations. I
                                                    truly enjoy seeing past bulls sold and their offspring. I also enjoy getting
                                                    calls, texts, pictures, and a lot of snapchats from our customers on how
                                                    everything is going. Our customers are the reason we are in this busi-
                                                    ness, and we have a lot of great customers who are fun to work with.


                                                    I feel this year we have put together our most consistent set of bulls
                   Lisa, Taylor, Brad and Collinaylor, Brad and Collin
                   Lisa, T
                                                    from the front pen to the back pen. This pen of bulls had an average ac-
                                                    tual BW of 92 lbs. They were weaned on 9/5/21 and averaged 801 lbs.
                                                    From September 5 – December 12 (98-day feed test) they gained 4.06
                                                    lbs./day. You just can’t ask for much more.


                                                    As you read through the footnotes on these bulls you will realize we
                                                    are very proud of the females behind them. All but one bull are out
                                                    of dams that were born and raised at our ranch and I take great pride
                                                    in that. 25% of this pen of bulls are out of fi rst calf heifers and every
                                                    one of them bred right back on time. The American Gelbvieh Associa-
                                                    tion recognizes “Dam of Merit” cows that meet strict selection criteria
                                                    including early puberty and conception, regular calving intervals, and
                                                    above average weaning weights on at least three calves. Only 5.3% of
                                                    active cows in the Gelbvieh breed reach this status. We had 13 of our 44
                                                    eligible cows (30%) awarded “Dam of Merit” status. Our females are our
                                                    foundation and its nice to see that they are doing their jobs.

                         Gene and Pat               In closing I would like to thank everyone for your support in our pro-
                         Gene and Pat
