Note to our Buyers There are black bulls that are part Red Angus that don’t carry the red gene. Make sure you look at the BB, HB notation on the top line. Then you know if the animals with some Red Angus breed composition carry a red gene. This is how Gateway is adding diversity and broadening the genetic base of our Lucky Cross cattle.
Your Advantage… The Lucky Cross
Whether you’re a repeat customer or a new buyer evaluating the Gateway bulls for the first time, rest assured you’re not only purchasing bulls but a program with decades of genetic power behind it. Purchasing and placing thousands of Lucky Cross calves through the years we can attest to the outstanding reputation of performance and quality in this herd. Lucky Cross is a household name among the Midwest feed yards, their genetics prove repeatedly that these calves are bred to be top- shelf feeders.
We are proud to be the marketing arm for the Butcher family and we look forward to selling calves, yearlings, and seed stock from Gateway’s genetics. When you’re ready to take advantage of DLB’s marketing expertise give us a call. If I can help with bull selection contact me or let’s visit in the pens.
Sincerely, Dan and Marilyn Deichmann
