60th Annual Bull Sale

Isa Beefmasters, LLC’s 60th Beefmaster bull sale was held October 2nd in San Angelo, Texas. It was an excellent sale; with 38 buyers from 7 states and Mexico taking home 131 Beefmaster bulls at an average of $4,581. Isa’s President, Lorenzo Lasater, stated the sale was strong, with excellent demand for good Beefmaster genetics despite the horrible drought in the western states. Auctioneer Joe Goggins of Billings, MT sold the 131 bulls in the blistering time of 2 hours, 12 minutes.

The sale was dedicated to the company’s founder, Laurie Lasater, on his 80th birthday. He has built an enduring legacy of outstanding genetics, marketing ability and integrity.

The high-selling bull, L Bar 9541, sold to Bertrand, Fuller and Lasater for $19,000. This awesome young herd sire prospect is the son of L Bar 6105 and L Bar 6411 and was one of the overall top performers in the offering.

The second high-selling bull, San Pedro 9823, sold to FL-TX partnership for $14,000. This excellent bull was a top performer amongst the 2-year-old bulls and was sired by L Bar Habanero.

It is worth noting that both high sellers are grandsons of the great L Bar En Fuego, who sold in this sale in 2011. He has sired many high sellers since, and now his sons are doing it. A truly remarkable genetic line.

Volume buyers included: A. Duda and Sons, Florida –16; Diamond and a Half Ranch, New Mexico – 13; Lykes Brothers, Florida – 12; the Wedgeworth Clan, Texas – 11; and Alamo Ranch, New Mexico – 10.

Current Isa president, Lorenzo Lasater, represents the 4th generation of the family dedicated to breeding performance Beefmaster genetics. The breed was founded by Lorenzo’s grandfather, Tom Lasater, in 1937. This year marks the 84th anniversary of the breed.

“This set of bulls represents over 80 years of consistent, balanced selection for economically viable cattle. These bulls will produce excellent feeder calves and replacement heifers in any environment, but especially the tougher ones. With more pounds at weaning, lower input costs, more longevity and the best mother-cow on the planet, Beefmasters can’t be beat,” said Lorenzo. Ї The Lasater family would like to extend their heartfelt thanks to everyone in attendance, especially the many repeat customers, including several second generation buyers.
