to the 56th edition of the Brost Land & Cattle Co. Ltd. Production Sale.
“Wow” is probably the best way to describe this year. We started with a fairly dry winter, and many feared it might mark the eighth consecutive year of drought. However, with no killing frost and excellent spring rains, 2024 began with a bang. We grew some grass and put up feed, although water remains an ongoing concern. Overall, it was a great year.
Adding to the excitement, we experienced record cattle prices, and many producers are celebrating their best nancial year in history. On a personal note, we o cially welcomed our second son-in-law, Tavin Stadnicki, to the family in June and celebrated the arrival of our second grandson, Tuf Ledger Lutz, in July. What a fabulous year!
Once again, we are incredibly proud of this year’s o ering. Each year, the bulls become more consistent in their design. Whether you’re seeking a more moderate package or a power bull, we believe you’ll nd what you’re looking for. If you’re in the market for multiple bulls, there are many half and three-quarter brothers available. Don’t overlook the strong selection of bred females, which will be an asset to any herd.
We look forward to seeing you on the 30th as we navigate an exciting time in the beef industry.
