DVORAK BROTHERS RANCHES
We are humbled that you are taking time to evaluate DVO. Thank you. This part of our operation exists for one simple purpose and that it to do our undistracted best to help sustain family cow calf operations. We try to achieve this by producing cattle that excel in hormone. Cattle that get pregnant, stay healthy, and stay working for years and years and years. Cattle that possess the intelligence to mother and the heart to survive. None of these things are an excuse to not perform, however. You will see in this offering many far above industry average weaning weights that are all achieved without creep feeding and without feeding a ration to nursing cows that then graze on some of the poorest grass in all of ranch country. Slowly but surely we let natural selection guide us to an ever more robust and more useful genetic base. Please call or stop in anytime to discuss your program or ours.

When friends Daniel and Nicole Parker with Turkey Creek Red Angus made the decision to disperse their registered cow herd last fall, they approached us about offering their final set of bulls in conjunction with this spring sale. The decision to say yes to this idea was easy. The Parkers have had an undistracted approach to making functional cattle designed for commercial profitability and sustainability. I admire their discipline and drive. Every breeding decision was on purpose. In their offering you will find sire groups that the Parkers have high confidence in, including many DVO animals, that are backed by cows that were made for the right reasons. The final set of Turkey Creek Red Angus bulls sell March 27th at 1:00 p.m. at the Atkinson Livestock Market and will be followed by the Dvorak Brothers Ranches annual bull sale at 1:30. Hope to see you there.
