t’s been a great year in the beef industry with strong long term demand in front of us and presently. Top genetics are fetching considerable premiums over commodity cattle. We are pleased to announce our Value Added Feeder and Replacement buying program that we partner with Nextgen Feedyards. We are buying truckload lots of steers out of our Brangus or Charolais genetics with the goal of bringing value added prices on your calf crop. We are also interested in buying replacement females or in marketing these highly sought after cattle. We will actively bid on these and may not get all of them bought, but will help our customers obtain extra value if we do not get them bought. We also look forward as we go in sharing that data with our customers and discuss tailored breeding to meet customer objectives. Many areas of the country have seen widespread and needed rainfall and hopefully we can all have a good summer. We are pushing forward on our genetic progression and over the last year have seen our genetics well received in both the purebred and commercial sector. Our number one goal is the commercial market. We have to produce cattle that go out in the real world and make it happen for our customers. Cattle that hold up, functional, environmentally adaptable and that also can grade in the feed yard. We are breeding for not only performance, but the right type and kind and variety to go to a lot of different geographic areas, plus align with varying cow herd needs. We are excited about this fall and beyond as we start the new cycle of sales events as we are hosting our 20th Anniversary Fall Production Sale and believe we are seeing incremental improvement in our future offerings. We thank our genetic partners for trusting in our program and that are participating in both our bull and female sales. Our goal as we stated last year is to help build purebred programs in Texas and around the country to new levels and build similar genetics to what we see our discriminating cattlemen demands. We are grateful to them and with our Value Added calf buying program believe that we all can continue to drive profitable genetics for our commercial customers. We look forward to a lot of our new customer relationships that we have built and also to new ones that happen in the future. Please feel free to reach out to myself, Mark, Todd, Justin or Dustin our marketing and genetics team here at Cavender Ranches. We all wear a lot of hats and can assist in your many questions or needs. All the best,
Joe Cavender, Cavender Brangus
