Welcome Cattlemen & Friends, Welcome to our 2013 Bull sale. Every year creates

new challenges. This year was the drought. It is a

good time to replace a poor cow with a good cow or

an old bull with a new one that doesn’t eat as much. It

will align you to be in a better position when you want

to repopulate. Our numbers aren’t too big on our bulls, but the

quality is good from end to end. We are offering the first Red Angus cattle on the sale

this year. We think they can compliment your line of

cattle in a cross breeding program.

You can go on line to view the bulls at www.lim-

ousin-live.com. We will have ultra sound data and

scrotal measurements on sale day.

We are looking forward to seeing and visiting with

you on sale day. Come early and have lunch and view the bulls.

Sincerely,
