Dear Gelbvieh Breeders, It has been my pleasure to help with the previous twenty-one Judd Ranch Annual Cow Power Female Sales and from working closely with the Judd Ranch family; I can say you won't find a harder working family than Dave, Cindy, Nick, Ginger, Brent and Ashley Judd. Every year I like to emphasize what I believe are two of the most important reasons for buying Judd Ranch females. First, after 25 years working purebred sales, I have had the opportunity to work with a number of programs and the honesty and integrity demonstrated by Dave and his family is unmatched. The second reason is Dave Judd's knowledge of all facets of the livestock industry and his down to earth approach to raising purebred cattle. He firmly believes “Cow Power” makes a great program. Believe me folks, the beef industry is all about Cow Power and nobody features true “Cow Power” like Judd Ranch. Last spring Judd Ranch's Bull Sale featured 226 bulls with an 820 pound actual weaning weight average and that is why Judd Ranch has been honored as the #1 Dam of Merit program in the Gelbvieh breed for fifteen consecutive years. Judd Ranch is always striving to add more earning potential to the females you purchase from them, and one significant way you can increase your earning potential is by purchasing homozygous polled genetics. Over the last few years Judd Ranch has been DNA testing for the homozygous polled factor. This sale offering features72 homozygous polled females and Gelbvieh breeders, I don't know of any convenience trait in the registered cattle business that will give you a better return on your investment than homozygous polled genetics. Our Cattlemen's Connection AI semen sales feature over 100 Gelbvieh and Balancer A.I. sires and for us, over 90% of all sales are homozygous polled sires. Every homozygous polled mature bred female is safe in calf to a homozygous polled Judd Ranch herdsire and you will be the beneficiary when you start selling these homozygous polled progeny. Now let's key on Cow Power selling as 100% of the sale offering features Judd Ranch Dam of Merit females and/or daughters of Dam of Merit cow families. Also please consider the fact that 99% of the sale offering is sired by breed-leading AI sires and 100% are Judd Ranch bred and raised. Affordability is another reason to join us on October 13th, as the past thirteen “Cow Power” Female Sales have only averaged $2,010 on 1,401 head and folks, the last thirteen Judd Ranch bull sales have averaged $3,534 on 2,614 head. Do the math here and you'll note the females have averaged just 57% of the average price for the bulls-their very offspring. If you have questions about any female in this catalog or would like assistance in selecting females for your program, please give me a call toll-free at 1800-743-0026. If you are unable to attend the sale, I will be happy to purchase a female(s) for you within your price range, and we will guarantee your satisfaction with the animal(s) selected, with no fee for order buying. Annually, 25% of the gross sales are purchased through this time and money saving program, and you pay only the bid price, just as if you were bidding yourself. You can reach me at 1-800-743-0026 until October 9, after that date please call my cell phone 785/547-6262 during the day, as I will be at Judd Ranch. In the evenings, please call my cell phone (785)547-6262 or the sale motel headquarters, Comfort Inn, Ottawa, Kansas 785/242-9898. Sincerely,
Roger Gatz Cattlemens Connection
