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!

Sale Day
