Dear Friends,
Welcome to Lyons Ranch!
We are glad to welcome longtime customers and new friends to
our 25th Annual Superior Genetics Sale! The bulls in the offering are the
result of decades of planned breeding for the balanced traits like great
fertility, performance, carcass and calving ease. There are some strong new
bloodlines as well as some of the great sire groups you have liked here
before. Each animal in the sale is designed to become a valuable addition to
your herd and help improve the beef industry.
To increase the accuracies of the bulls’ EPDs, we have DNA tested
every bull in the sale through Igenity and Angus Genetics Inc. The American
Angus Association reports that the adding a genetic profile can give a young
bull’s EPDs accuracies as high if he had recorded over 16 head of progeny.
We have done this so you can make solid breeding decisions for your
operation’s success and allow all of us to make better genetic progress.
We are glad that you have been able to enjoy a good cattle market
in the past year. We see many of you twice a week at the sale barns at JC
Livestock Sales and Clay Center Livestock Sales, and see the demand that
Lyons Ranch-sired calves generate because of their performance in the
yards and on the rail. Like you, we are living with the stress and effects of the
drought. Whatever the conditions, know that we feel that you should get good
value for your Lyons Ranch purchases, and we will do our best to help you be
successful.
All updates, videos and an online catalog can be found on our
website LyonsRanch.com.
All cattle have been tested BVD-PI free and will be current on
vaccinations. They will have passed a breeding soundness exam with their
semen checked under the microscope, so no deferred bulls sell. All animals
will be current on vaccinations, and the heifers will be preg checked open.
Any potential carriers of AM, CA, and NH have been tested free.
If you cannot attend the sale, you can watch and bid online at
DVAuction.com. The cattle that you buy this way carry a sight-unseen
guarantee.
Please call or email if you have any questions. As always, give
us a call to preview the cattle at your
convenience or come on Sunday
afternoon before the sale. We invite you
to come early on sale day and have lunch
with us starting at 11 a.m.
Sincerely,
We look forward to seeing you on Monday, March 4th!
