Page 2 Page 13 Greetings, Get ready for the 2013 bull sale! This year s offering is sure to please any cattlemen. We have a standout set of maternally backed bulls that are packed with muscle and performance and are sired by some of the best bulls in the industry. This year we will also be offering 15 head of fancy do it on their own replacement heifers (three registered and nine commercial). If the drought has done one good thing for the cattle industry it has caused cattlemen and women to cull exceptionally deep. However the drought has caused us to change how we develop our bulls. This year we were unable to turn bulls out on grass like we have done in previous years, however we can assure you they were developed right. These bulls were never pushed for maximum performance and were developed to ensure that they will breed more cows; for many breeding seasons to come. Take a look at this years offering, and we promise; you will not be disappointed. One thing I would like to point out is that although some of these bulls are a Category 3 RA they are in fact 87.5% RA or higher and are only recognized as Category 3 because there is a lack of records on several of our cows. Our heifers are treated the same as our cows and from the minute they are turned out of the corral after weaning, we expect them to go out and begin working for us. This year the heifers were turned out on grass and a failed milo crop, and in my opinion they have done exceptionally well (considering they are running on the driest part of our ranch). We do feed 7 tenths of a pound of cotton seed cake per day for about 75 days, but they are by no means pampered. We can guarantee that these heifers will go out and immediately go to work for you. Thank you for looking through our catalog and we look forward to seeing you all at our sale on April 8, 2013.
