Dear Rancher,

What a difference a year makes! In 2022, we had drought in the summer and we fought snow for most of the winter. The summer of 2023 brought rain almost every week and our first big snow fall didn’t occur until Christmas. We also said goodbye to 560 bred females between the ages of 2-8 years old. We do have all of our 2023 calf crop, so we will have a good-sized bull sale again in 2025. After that, Rob will be taking more of the lead and the ranch will follow his direction. The future of the beef cattle industry looks very positive as the national cow numbers continue to shrink due to interference from Mother Nature. It is an exciting time to be in the cow business as ranchers are being paid for their hard work. It is a time to invest in high quality bulls in order to capture top prices. Our bulls are raised in an environment like yours, with no creep and sensible post weaning development. As in the past, the bulls will sell in catalog order. The depth of quality goes all the way to the last bull. We will have a few bulls on display on Valentine’s Main Street for the Heart City Bull Bash which will be held on Saturday, February 10, 2024. The remainder of the bulls will be at the auction barn on Saturday until sale day. We encourage you to join us for lunch on Monday, February 12! The sale will begin at 1:00 CT at the Valentine Livestock Auction. Thanks for your consideration! The Logterman Family
