The dust has settled a little after sale day and we certainly hope the wind blew you home safely. We would like to Thank each and every one of you who joined us on sale day. Whether it was in person or online, we appreciate you, as friends and customers. We believe our land and cattle are a direct reflection of our core values and hope you noticed we put as much attention into small details as we do large decisions. But the plain and simple fact is we couldn't do it without your support. We are grateful and incredibly thankful. We're busy preparing health papers and brand inspections but we will reach out soon to coordinate delivery. And we look forward to seeing some pictures of these bulls out in your pastures!

Lots of familiar faces that have supported our program for decades and quite a few new faces we look forward to working with in the years to come. Grandpa Jack always said his greatest reward was getting to know so many great people through the years. We can't agree more and are grateful for everyone who made our sale a success.

Crossbreeding

Our Line 1 genetics offer a unique degree of heterosis that both registered and commercial breeders alike are seeing the benefits from. 

 

Mark Cooper

Crossbreeding is a vital tool and Hereford is the number one choice for the commercial cattleman. 

 

Sale Day

Cooper Herefords has been marketing their genetics through an annual production sale since the inaugural ‘Top of the Tops’ sale over 60 years ago in 1967.

About Cooper Herefords

One of the biggest advantages the CL 1 program offers is the predictability and uniformity that comes from maintaining a closed line of genetics for over 80 years.
