2025 Lyman Livestock Bull Sale by Julie Murnin

Welcome to the Sale

Wow, as I sit here and write this welcome It’s hard for me to believe this is our 13th production sale we have put on. While we have been in the Bull business for 20+ years, it never ceases to amaze me of the support we get from you fellow cattlemen and cattlewomen.

This last year of 2024 and so far into the first few weeks of 2025 have been exceptional times in the beef business for the cow calf producer. “AND IT’S ABOUT DAMN TIME” you’re being paid for your hard work and the premium product you’re supplying the industry.

There has never been such a time where quality genetics and cross breeding heterosis is so important. Go get those pounds that the Sim-Angus cross produces while keeping functional maternal traits in your cowherd. We have always focused on our females, great mother cows raise top notch bulls and replacement females for us. Our SimAngus genetics run in some pretty harsh elevated environments. As I write this our mature cow herd is wintering out at 6300+ ft and hasn’t been fed a bale of hay yet.

At this year’s sale we will offer without a doubt our best set of 100+ pap tested bulls to date. We have large contemporary groups of several of our sires. You will find SimAngus, Purebred Simmental, Angus, and a select group of bulls with some Balancer in them. The bulls performed really well on pap testing day, 95% of the bulls are suitable for elevation Dr. Truman performed the test at 6,300 ft.

I would like to thank the teams that help you our customers and ourselves market our calves, Wayne Cowley and the team at Producers, Superior Livestock, Tait Gourney does a great job repping the cattle, and also R-Livestock auction to name a few of the locals that help us all get the best price possible. We are continuing to utilize Allied Genetic Resources help in marketing our cattle; they have become a household name in Simmental and SimAngus genetics.

Thanks to our sales management team Jared, Corey & Marty they do a great job helping us get the sale put together every year. They are also a great resource if you have any questions about our bulls.

Lastly, if there is a problem with your bull we are the only ones who can help solve it let us know we are your partner in the cow business and we stand behind our bulls that we sell. Come early to see the bulls on the 22nd or stop by anytime before sale day to view the bulls at the farm. We will have DVAuction on hand for internet bidding and viewing also on sale day please sign up ahead of time, as always we will take your bull home and deliver him the first part of April.

Many Thanks and God Bless!

47-49

Acceptable score for animals older than 12 months. Younger animals should be retested.

Acceptable score for animals older than 16 months that have been at high elevations for an extended period. These animals should be considered at some risk. Testing altitude and animal’s location should be considered.

>50 Animals in this range are considered at high risk for themselves and their offspring. Many animals scoring in this range have died of high-altitude disease.

***Note These figures are based on cattle 12 months of age and older and tested at or above 6,300 ft. If an animal does not meet these criteria, adjustments must be noted.

Animals must be exposed to the altitude above 5,000 ft for a minimum of 4-6 weeks.

Lyman Livestock is a fifth generation ranching operation based out of Central Utah. The ranch is run by three brothers Eric, Kevin, Mike, along with their parents, Keith and Glenda, and our kids. Everyone pitches in with the work, our kids are taught to work at a young age and are very capable of all ranching activities. Our wives are our unsung troopers, from meals delivered, to feeding when no one is around, to clerical work, and bull sale info.

While our ranch is nearing 100 plus years in the cattle industry, it has been a meticulous amount of dedication that our parents Keith and Glenda have put into expanding the ranch to what it is today. Our father has never believed in money, he has always believed in dirt and has worked his hole life to put this ranch together along with his boys. In 1998, we began raising Simmental genetics and have never stopped trying to improve our customers and our own cow herds. Sim influenced genetics flat pay you more money. It been proven what heterosis does in a cowherd. As we push forward in this new cattle age, we will continue to keep our customers wants and needs at the for front of our seedstock operation.

25 years in the seedstock industry raising and selling bulls, the life lessons these cattle have taught us are priceless. We annually offer 100 yearling pap tested bulls in Lyman Livestock’s Cattlemen to Cattlemen bull sale the last Saturday in February at Producer’s livestock sale barn in Salina Ut. Where we offer the best in SimAngus, Simmental and Angus genetics for our customers cowherds.

The ranch consists of three main properties where we use a three area rotation for the cows. The summer ranch is located between Montpelier Idaho & Cokeville Wyoming. We typically summer 450 pair there from late May to early November. From there the cows are loaded on trucks and either took to late fall pasture or hauled to Monticello, UT, where we winter from December till April. We winter out in large 1,000 acre plus high, 6,500 ft, desert pastures where cows calve unassisted and are supplemented very little if any hay.

As we move from winter to spring the cows are hauled from Monticello to Yuba reservoir area in central Utah. We put the cows on lush green spring grasses to help get the bred back in April and May.

A few things to know about our cattle herd. We have been PAP testing for close to 20 years. We believe in high altitude genetics and search and use only bulls that can produce suitable pap scores on their offspring. We run our registered stock like a commercial operation no pampering the cows are wintered in tough conditions and must breed back with minimal supplemented feed. We operate around 500-600 head of momma cows. 300 registered Simmentals, 80 registered Angus, 40 registered Gelbvieh, and around 180 commercial SimAngus influenced cattle.

A Note from the Sale Manager

Welcome to the 2025 Lyman Livestock Annual Bull Sale. This is our third year working with the Lyman family and it has been a pleasure. The Lyman’s work very hard at producing the best product they can for their commercial customers. Their commitment to improving the genetics of their herd to make bulls that fit their customers’ environment is second to none. Every mating and Herd Bull purchase keeps in mind how the progeny is going to work in their western environment. This is something you don’t always see in a seedstock producer. Many are focused on using the most popular AI sires with the biggest set of EPDs they can get without thinking about how their progeny are going to fit in their customers environment. The Lyman’s make every breeding decision with you, the customer, in mind. It is people with this kind of philosophy that Allied Genetic Resources works with.

Some examples of their commitment to making cattle that work in their customers environment is PAP testing. Lyman Livestock has been committed to producing cattle that thrive at high elevations. They have been PAP testing for over a decade now and they have developed a herd that thrives at high elevations. Just look at the PAP scores on this set of bulls, very few are not suitable for high elevations. The Lyman’s also make their cows work on the range just like their commercial customers. You do not see the feed truck pulling away from a big silage pile to feed the cows most of the year like a lot of seedstock operations. The mature cow herd is out wintering and calving in the desert in southern Utah as we speak. If the cows can’t make it on their own and raise a calf they do not live here. These examples are what make this program so unique compared to traditional seedstock producers. These cattle flat work in our Western environment and if they can work here, they can work where feed is more abundant as well.

With the goal of always making genetic advancement and better selection tools for their bull buyers, the Lyman’s took DNA on the sale bulls and the Simmental bulls have RightChoice logos. This relatively new technological advancement utilizes high impact genes for each trait and categorizes bulls that qualify with a simple logo system. To learn more about RightChoice please see the information page in this catalog or feel free to reach out to one of us on the Allied team with questions.

If you have any questions about the offering or need assistance sale day, please contact one of the Allied team members, we will be happy to assist you.

Sincerely,

Marty Ropp, Corey Wilkins and Jared Murnin
