WELCOME TO OUR 11TH SALE
We are witnessing the greatest time the beef cattle industry has ever seen. Owning beef cattle is a tremendous asset class. More importantly, farmers and ranchers get the privilege to tend to GOD’s creation and raise their families while doing so. We, The Source Group, cannot think of a greater lifestyle than to care for the livestock and the land GOD has provided for us. We feel it is our duty to mentor the next generation of young people in production agriculture. It is our job to teach young people to do the right thing, to raise them to care for the stock, to be a light in the community and to provide the world with the greatest protein source in existence: BEEF.
The bulls this year are as deep as ever. We feel the top-end Angus bulls are as good as we’ve ever made. These bulls are backed by the best cows in each respective program. There has been tremendous excitement for the Red Angus bulls in this year’s event and Parrish Akins will not let you down with his Horned Hereford project. Our Simmental influenced bulls are thick, stout, deep and powerful.
We are in the 11th year of marketing bulls as the group known as The Source. This venture began to be your SOURCE of value-added genetics from excellent people. We have never wavered from our commitment to bring, our customers, a product that will add to your bottom line. We continue to embrace that commitment and take our job creating seedstock to heart daily. We are excited for you to appraise our stock and hope we live up to your expectations. New this year, we will broadcast the sale live across the internet at www.liveauctions.tv.
We would like to personally invite you to Nashville, Georgia, on December 6, 2025. The cattle market is thriving, and the outlook is exciting for the commercial cow/calf sector. If we can assist you with anything, please reach out to any of the bull owners or our wonderful hosts, The Akins Family. As always the food will be wonderful, the fellowship grand, and the bulls superb.
Thanks to everyone who has supported us in the past, and we look forward to the next DECADE of being THE SOURCE for quality genetics from wonderful people.
God Bless,
The Source Group

PARRISH AKINS
If you’ve been following along with Parrish’s horned Hereford project then you’ll want to see this set of flush brothers. Their mother is a full sister to the first horned bull he sold to Brian Rayburn. They are no doubt, his deepest offering to date. They are high-growth, long-bodied, good-structured bulls that look like they will get out and work. If we’ve learned anything in this cattle market, it’s that even at historic prices, baldies will still command a premium. One day, Chandler said, “Maybe we should just buy Daddy’s bulls and make a bunch of baldies.” He may be on to something there, so if you look over and see Chandler bidding just know he’s bidding for himself.
