2 • 18th Annual Landon Hays Memorial Angus Sale
Landon Alexander Hays was born March 4, 1987. The son of Mike and Belinda Hays and brother to Adrienne Hays, Landon was unexpectedly taken from us December 28, 2001, in a tragic motorcycle accident. Although he was only here for a brief time, he touched the hearts of many people and blessed their lives. Landon’s love for horses, cattle and the ranch life was the inspiration behind the formation of Hays Brothers. His enthusiasm was contagious and served as a catalyst to spur Dad and Uncle Clark along. Everyone was excited as construction of the Hays Brothers multi-purpose building began. However, no one was as excited as Landon. Uncle Clark had taught him to rope, and Landon was looking forward to refining his roping skills in the new indoor arena. Virtually all weekends and holidays away from school you could find Landon on the ranch shadowing Uncle Clark and absorbing all the knowledge of ranch and cattle life he could. Regardless of the task laid out for him, he gave it his all. Though Landon is not physically with us, we shall always have our precious memories of his laughter and everpresent smile. We shall not forget the many hours he spent as a young man helping start and develop Hays Brothers Angus Ranch. To our Heavenly Father, we acknowledge that Landon was a very special gift and blessing from You, and we thank You. To our very special Landon, we love and miss you so much, and look forward to seeing you again in a greater arena, Heaven.
Mom, Dad & Adrienne

Dear Friends and Neighbors, If you haven’t gotten enough rain this winter you are apparently ranching in a different hemisphere from North Louisiana. To draw on a saying from my late father after one of these monsoon like winters, “Boy, a buzzard will bog his shadow just trying to fly across the pasture.” I don’t know about ya’ll, but, my hay racks look more like a hog pen than cattle feeders. The good thing is that spring is about here and we should have plenty of grass soon. So, if you need to expand your cow herd, this spring could not be a better time and you can look far and wide trying to find any better cattle than you will see at the 18th Annual Landon Hays Memorial Angus Sale.
