Welcome

The Quam Family

Dear Cattlemen and Friends: It is with great pleasure that we welcome you back to Marda Angus Farm for the 2nd Production Sale with Spring Creeks Cattle Company.

We were very fortunate to have a successful first sale.

Our goal remains to bring you genetics that appeal to multiple markets. We feel that the group assembled in this sale book exemplify that goal of a diverse line-up with something for everyone.

Whether you are looking to develop the next elite genomic animal in the breed, striving to have an All-American nominee, seeking a great junior project show animal or want a deep pedigreed individual to add to your herd, we feel we have what you need to achieve that goal.

Bringing you this outstanding selection of animals would not be possible without the support of numerous people.

First and foremost, we would like to thank our partners in this event. They have bred and developed these cattle and are allowing you to choose from the best of their farms.

Next is our family and friends, who are involved at various levels of this sale. Without their support, developing this caliber of a sale would not have been possible. Thanks also to: Angus Hall for all their guidance, expertise and extra attention to every detail during this process.

Finally, to our potential buyers, thank you for your interest in the sale and we hope that this sale book and lineup brings genetics that will assist with your quest. See you November 1, 2015 in Lodi as we all continue our quest for success in this great industry.

The Mitchell Family O

nce again the Mitchells and Spring Creeks Cattle Company are excited to be holding a Joint Production Sale with fellow Angus Breeders Marda Angus. Our operation prides itself on raising cattle that are useful in all phases of the cattle industry.

We have used many of the top bloodlines for not only functional cattle but cattle that have eye appeal.

O

ur 500 cow operation is located in the hills of southwest Wisconsin where they are expected to earn their way just as any cow would in a commercial setting. We sell 80 bulls privately throughout the year. The top 10% of our females are kept as replacements, and a deep cut will be offered on this sale.

M

any of the females we are offering today trace back to some of our ranch’s top cows. These females are AI sired, AI bred, young and ready to go out and be highly productive. We could not be more proud of this set of cattle. We invite you to come view them anytime. See you sale day.

Thanks, Spring Creeks Cattle Co. The Mitchells
