Sounds like a really good idea to me. I use to attend the Camp Cooley Brangus sale here in Texas every year and it was really enjoyable and cattle sold very well. Looks like you have it well planned. (Might need to set up a little wet bar somewhere for those that enjoy a little refreshment or did I miss it) Best wishes.

I sure wish they were raised on fescue. Good luck with the sale.

What a beautiful place! Grass looks wonderful and so do your bulls. I even like the "cull" bull some!

Thanks NE it is a bit nerve wracking. I know folks out west have seen this format but it is new to our area. I have total confidence in the bulls and heifers were offering we will just have to wait and see as far as how receptive folks are to the sale format. We semen test on Tuesday so the final hurdle on the bulls. The two on the Florida Bull Test have already been BSE’d and passed so they are ready to go to work. Jacob will pick them up in a week or so. One of them will be retained to complete our natural service battery.

Well the open house is next Saturday, If any of your folks are in the area we would love to have you join us. We have been super busy getting ready for the open house, not to mention setting up and breeding heifers. We start set up of the two, three and four year old cows tomorrow. All the heifers have been AI'd once and both groups have bulls turned out with them. My mature group (cows being bred for their 4th calf and older we just run the bull in with them. We start set up of recips on Jan 2nd and the Donor cow starts her set up on Jan 4th the evening of the sale. So it has been some kinda of busy on top of it all both the boss and I have been sick with flu like systems but it didn't test as the flu thank goodness. All I can say is I am sure glad it is finally clearing up it sure wreaked our Christmas this year. Hope everyone had a blessed and safe Christmas.

We appreciate the recommendation! I think we are both about to get over the crud that has had us both on antibiotics for the past month. sure wasn’t a good time to get knocked down, but we have struggled through. Set the last group of recips up tomorrow I think the day after the sale I am going to crawl into bed and sleep for about a week lol! Which bull is catching your eye? I change daily, I have one picked out then another catches my eye.

The 31 calf is a mighty good rip, I am loving the Reign calves.
