Cattlemen from 15 states gathered for day two of the 17th Annual Fall Production Sale at Cavender’s Neches River Ranch. This year’s expanded bull offering was met with great enthusiasm by all in attendance. The sale began with a packed house and buyers competed from end-to-end, leading to one of, if not the, top bull sales in the country and a breed leading event. When the dust settled, premium Brangus and Ultrablack genetics, that are sure to help drive success for many operations, were spread across 15 states, coast-to-coast.
Topping the list of high-sellers was a standout Capital Gain son that has been a crowd favorite since he was a calf, CB Capital Gain 1062H12. This bull not only stands out from both a phenotypic and genetic standpoint but has a family history to support his quality herdsire potential as a son of the great MS Tradition 1062C donor. Next, CB Longmire 1062H12, an impressive bull was the high seller of the weekend purchased by the Villarreal family for $60,000. He is destined to be a great breeding bull. With a nearly perfect sheath design and overall classy look to him, he could very easily go on to sire progeny that could wear a halter and be very competitive in the show ring, not to mention the future donors and herd sires that he will produce. The Villarreals have big plans for him.
Trey Cuevas and partner, James McMahon - JM Cattle teamed up to buy DMR Dutton 331H8 for $17,000 and Trey Cuevas also bought CB Paramount 7139H2, a Capital Gain son for $37,000.
