We had the opportunity to purchase pasture rights on Epic R397 K at Milk Creek last fall. Epic puts a number of measurable traits right
in the sweet spot. His pedigreemakes himan outcross for us, andwe really like themuscle, volume and growthwe have seen in his
progeny. Epic’s service sells in this offering.

Takeover 9943Wsold in Ludvigson’s 2011 offering, and his kind and data impressed us. Wewill be offering the first sons next spring,
but his calving ease has been excellent andwe like the calves. Our thoughts are that Conquest × Packer is one of those synergistic
matings that really produces progeny that are prepotent and offer lots of potential for profit. Takeover’s service sells in this offering.

Samurai X22 was produced by our cooperator and friendGene Rouse and sold to Select Sires. For years we looked for aCheyenne
son that we could tie into, and finally he showed up in our own offering, thanks toGene. Samurai’s first calves look outstanding this
fall, andwe are expecting great things. They have a lot of performance and very solid data to back themup. He has that RedAngus
color that George Chiga indicatedwas themark of leading herd sires in his time. Samurai’s service sells.
Everyone is invited to dinner at Ron & Lois’s after the sale.
We will
be serving Meyer Natural Angus Strip Loin cooked
by our friend and partner Stu Campbell.
