Welcome!
Hey everyone, Kaitlyn here again! Everyday winter life, calving out heifers, and getting the catalog ready take a lot of time and dedication, so the tradition continues with me writing the welcoming story while I’m waiting to open gates and trying to stay warm.
Our focus has always been to bring you cattle that will work for your operation. Whether you’re looking for heifers that will bring a great disposition, udder quality, longevity, mothering ability, or a bull that will offer growth, power, pounds, and outstanding phenotype we have you covered. Our rotational grazing and hardy, effective cows made it possible to wean early September. The calves settled right into their new routine of eating from the bunk extremely quickly and have been developing well for you ever since. We couldn’t be prouder of the bulls and heifers we’re offering this year and hope you’re just as eager to have them in your herd as we are going to be sad to part with them.
The bulls have been on an ADG test again this year and to ensure they are still athletic and sound, ready to breed for their new owner, they have been given more territory to roam. The bulls have really embraced this new-found freedom and are constantly up and moving, especially when a heifer in the pen next to them walks by! Thank goodness for the electric fence hooked on
barbed wire! This set of bulls won’t disappoint you in the eager breeder category. They have been Genomic tested and by sale day we hope to have them semen tested, if the weather cooperates of course, and ultrasounded. The ultrasound data along with their yearling weight information will be available on sale day via a supplement sheet. The heifers that we have selected for the sale have been developed with the same program and diet as the heifers in our replacement pen, with the emphasis on keeping them fit for breeding when the time comes. Every time we walk through them I swear they look better and better and we’re sad to see them go. As you look through the catalog and view the pedigrees and study the EPDs, I think you’ll find what you are looking for to keep your herd moving forward in these exciting times; whether that’s calving ease, growth, structure, docility, power, maternal or longevity.
If you’d like to discuss cattle, come out to the place to take a gander at this year’s offerings in their natural environment and spend a little, or a lot of time, talking to dad before the sale on Saturday March 1, 2025, at Broken Bow Livestock. He can help direct you to what you are looking for for your cattle operation. We know everyone’s agricultural life can get pretty hectic at the beginning of March, so if you can’t make it to the sale that day head on over to DV Auction or contact one of our press representatives the day of the sale to assist you.
Mom has been busy with her part of the sale day activities too. She’s been hard at work making jams and jellies and busy getting hats, gloves, gators, and earmuffs with our logo on it. Once again, she has a delicious lunch planned across the street in Stockman’s with some incredible cupcakes and cookies for dessert and for the early arrivals there will be coffee and cinnamon rolls available. Be sure to join us after the sale if you have time for fellowships and refreshments.
I can see the feed wagon headed my way to feed the bulls so it’s time for me to finish up so I can grab the gate.
We deeply appreciate your interest in our cattle and your support! If you have any questions regarding our sale offerings please don’t hesitate to call or text dad, e-mail us, or even check out our website. We can’t wait to see you on sale day!
Sincerely,
Kaitlyn Mason
