Dear Cattlemen,
Welcome to Coleman Limousin Ranches 35th Annual Production Sale! Few programs of any beef
breed have the distinct commitment of hosting 35 production sales in a row. Certainly the Coleman
program is one of the oldest and most time-honored Limousin programs in North America. No
Limousin family in North America has achieved the accolades over the duration of time as the Larry
Coleman family.
The COLE prefix is synonymous with quality and breed-leading Limousin seedstock. Most every
Limousin herd in North America has been influenced by COLE seedstock. Through sires and dams, the
Larry Coleman program has supplied tremendous quality in substantial numbers to serious Limousin
breeders throughout North America.
This year features the 2013 National Western Carload and Lim-Flex Pen. The Coleman operation
has produced the Grand Champion Carload two times; the Reserve Grand Champion Carload five
times; and the People’s Choice nine out of the last sixteen years.
This year’s offering is the best ever. The approximately 115 bulls are powerful, muscular and
ready for service to the industry. It is obviously highlighted by the tremendous group sired by the most
popular bulls in the industry from the highly regarded Coleman breeding herd. The EPD spread, the
actual performance, and the carcass merit make these the breed’s most superior herd sires available to
the beef industry. The remaining bulls are subject to the same criteria and all are performance tested,
fertility examined and fully guaranteed.
The open females are an outstanding and uniform group of replacement heifers and show prospects.
Females purchased from the sale in past years have gone on to other breeders’ herds where they have
assumed the roles of valuable donors and breeding females of rare and significant genetic strength.
Many of the breed’s most noted programs contain COLE females as the single largest genetic ingredient
in the cow herd. All are polled, all are black, and many are homozygous black. Their performance
- coupled with pedigree - make these the most elite females to ever sell through the Annual Coleman
Production Sale.
Study the information in the catalog carefully, and plan to be with us for this great annual auction
event. Purchases and selections from the sale offering will significantly impact the breed for years to
come.
Let me know how I may help.
