Our Valued Cooperators
Greetings from the crew here at D CROSS GENETICS. This is the 8th year that we have been blessed to offer our Red Angus Genetics in this great sale. It is bittersweet to write this letter knowing that this will be the last sale of its kind. God had a plan to bring the Peltons and us together in 2009 and He has a plan for the future for each of our operations. Words can’t express the appreciation we have for the Pelton Family and the long term relationships that have been developed because of the mutual Love of the Lord and Back from left to right: Austin, Ed, Larry, John and Wyatt. Red Angus cattle. Front: Jennifer and Marcella. Lynn has inspired us over the years with his abilities in genetic selection and breeding. Although those 2 things are important, we admire him most for his integrity and character that allows him to offer customer service that is second to none. It is D CROSS GENETICS’ plan to continue to offer the highest quality Red Angus genetics in 2017 and beyond by either private treaty or auction sales. We are seeking God’s will and guidance in this endeavor so watch for future advertising information. Call Ed (785-541-0248) or Jen (785-541-0545) anytime. Congratulations to the Peltons for a very successful 23 years and thank you for allowing us to be a part of this sale for the past 8 years. It has been an honor and a blessing! God Bless, The Durst Family First of all we would like to say congratulations to the Pelton family on their progressive and very successful career in the seed stock industry, where many well deserved honors have come their way. We have felt honored and privileged to serve as one of their recipient herds and as a co-operator in their annual sale these past few years. We appreciate and thank the Pelton’s for their integrity and dedication to the cattle industry and for giving us this opportunity to work with them. ANDERSON LAND AND CATTLE, INC. is a familyowned and operated cow-calf and no-till farming operation located near Oberlin, Kansas. Artificial insemination has been used continually for forty years, using synchronization protocols on 50-60 heifers and 300 mature cows each year. A purebred Simmental herd was developed beginning in 1978, with Red Angus breeding introduced in the 1990’s. Carcass data collection has been a top priority for us, and using those results over the years, we’ve been able to make breeding decisions that have allowed progressive improvements. 2004 data showed 0% prime Back row: Dustin, Kendra, Jennie, Clay and Jason. and 73% choice carcasses to 2014’s 18% prime and 98% choice Middle row: Gayle, Cowen and Vince. Front row: Brody, Sean, Grant and Addy. and above. All around herd performance is very important to us, from the maternal side to terminal feedlot steers. Through total herd analysis, we select bloodlines carefully to move us forward in our business. Raising quality cattle is one of our passions, and we’ve been developing our own ET program the last four years using dams that have risen to the top of our herd as donors. We plan to continue marketing bulls from these matings through private treaty at the farm and welcome you to give us a call in 2017. Sincerely, The ALC Crew Jason – 785-470-7440 Clay – 785-475-7183 2
