Lucky Cross genetic blend fits the industry like a glove As we greet the start of a new year we look forward to a new set of challenges, as well as opportunities in the beef business. As a producer, you can emphasize a very important selling point when marketing your calves or yearlings; that being quality genetics from a complete, reliable seedstock program. This is where the Butcher Gateway Lucky Cross genetics give you a head start. Their breeding program is set in the direction of satisfying industry demands and being ahead of the curve in meeting these needs. They have molded their program to fit like a glove, the industry needs of today. The feeding industry is now demanding more prime and choice product than ever before. Feeders continue to prioritize cattle with emphasis on good dispositions, great health and greater performance. This is where the Lucky Cross program meets and exceeds the challenge. We are impressed every time we load a set of calves or heifers – the overall quality and disposition of the cattle is second to none. Take advantage of the opportunity you have February 7 to select from a program that keeps a keen eye on the entire scope of the industry, it’s needs, and current and future demands. Impressive quality in the bull offering is consistent and impressive every year, and even more striking is the commercial cowherds, and feeding programs they reflect on. We at DLB are proud to be an active marketing arm for Gateway Lucky Cross, with over three decades of service to the industry. We continue to purchase more calves and replacement females each year, and the demand for Lucky Cross continues to increase in all circles. The word from the feeders is “buy ‘em”. Please give me a call when you are ready to sell, or to visit about this tremendous offering of bulls. See you at the sale! Sincerely, Dan and Marilyn Deichmann
