Welcome to the Smoky Y Annual Bull Sale! The amount of effort the Younkin Family puts into building the Smoky Y brand is what drew me to help them market these real-world bulls! Like the line in the George Strait Movie (Pure Country), ‘I’m Tired of all the Smoke and lights and want to get back to the REAL!’ You found the place, the cow herd, and production is ran on large pastures scattered across dry open prairies, where what you see - is what you get.
Sorted the old-fashioned way: either they work, or they don’t. The hearty, hard-working females that breed back and produce pounds are the backbone of the Smoky Y Ranch. Home of letting mother nature take the reins, one year at a time, and in the end, they have an elite purposeful set of building blocks to produce bulls that should and will thrive in any climate or grass type.
This year’s Bull lineup has something for everyone: older age advanced bulls, strong and powerful yearlings, cow bulls built to produce pounds and frame, and extreme heifer bulls with added growth and carcass traits. You name it, and it’s probably in the catalog, and we will be happy to help you in any way possible to help fit you with the type and kind of herd bull that will add dynamic value to your program! No sugar coatings here, just Real Beef Bulls with Real females to back them up who work for a living.
Make plans to join us on March 10th at the Smoky Y Sale Facility. The Smoky Y Ranch crew works all year for sale day, and we want to make sure your experience is a positive one! Come early or any time prior to evaluate the bull offering. Feel free to give myself or any member of the Smoky Y team a call with any questions!
Thank you,
Mike Marlow
