COMMENTS FROM THE SALE MANAGER On behalf of the American Angus Hall of fame, it is certainly a pleasure to be working with Mike Jones and the breeders of the Southeast Elite Sale on what has become one of the most important and successful auctions of its nature in the Southeast. The Southeast Elite Sale continues to be an integral part of the Georgia Beef Expo showcasing the top Angus, Simmental and SimAngus cattle being produced in this region. As you flip through the catalog, whether you are in need of a future donor, cow/calf pair, bred heifer or show prospect , this is the place to be as the breeders have used the most prominent AI sires and the most proven cow families to develop some of the most sought after genetics anywhere in the country. The open and bred heifer offering this year is especially strong as compared to past years! Watch for a select few top show prospects ready to compete
in the Junior Circuit. As always, numerous cow/calf pairs, many with split off calves will be a highlight of the offering. We look forward to seeing you at Friendship Farms for this exciting event! If you have any questions, please feel free to contact any of the breeders or the American Angus Hall of Fame at (816) 532-0811 or Col. Mike Jones (706) 773-3612. Make plans now to be with us on Friday, May 29, 2020. Sincerely,
Tom Burke 816-853-2697
