Welcome to the sale!
We would like to extend our utmost welcome back for another edition of the L83 Ranch Production Sale. We look forward to this event as it is the time where all of our hard work and determination gets to be offered to you, our friends and customers, with a chance to use as a tool to improve your operations.
In today’s current market for beef cattle, after years of drought across many parts of the Nation, we are seeing a nationwide shortage of beef cattle. This shortage is pointing us in the direction of a booming cattle market in our near future.
Over the past several years, we have focused on raising cattle that will work in a seedstock industry, but most importantly the commercial cattle industry. We have strictly put together one of the most impressive set of Red Angus bulls to ever walk on the grounds in Westhope. These bulls have gone through a vigorous sifting process that includes having high vigor at birth, growing correctly and efficiently through all stages of development, proper testicular size and production, foot structure, temperament and udder structure of the cow families…to name a few. These bulls have been developed on high fiber rations to ensure appropriate gains per day of age. Grown in every sort of extremity when it comes to climate, these fellas can withstand some of mother nature’s cruelest scenarios.
We would like to extend an extra special welcome to our sale day partners, JK Angus. JK Angus is composed of Wylie, Sherry, Kaitlin and Jamie Geyer. Over the past decade, we have become very close with the Geyer family through road trips to Junior Nationals, pasture tours, State Fair shenanigans, and frequent phone calls between Ben and Wylie while searching for the next great herd sire. The bulls that JK Angus has brought to this year’s sale are impressive in every aspect, and we could not be more excited to have them with us on this important day!
Whenever you seem fitting, a tour of the bulls at the ranch is more than exciting to us. We pride our operation and would love to spend any given sort of time with each and every person willing to drive up. We cannot wait to see all of the familiar faces on sale day on March 28 th , at Kist Livestock in Mandan.
Sincerely,
The L83 Family-The
Brand You Can Trust-
-The Brand You Can Trust-
Welcome to this 47th edition of the L83 Ranch Production sale! In the scheme of the history of the L83 Ranch, and the Lodoen Families ranching endeavors, this past year is just another feather in the cap, however as the titles change and the management develops, it was another momentous one! A program that lost their patriarch here recently, however it is still evident to those close to the family and program, that the legacy of honesty, hard work, transparency, quality livestock and ‘Do to others as you would have them do to you’ that Leonard instilled will forever be embedded in the philosophies that guide the future of this Legacy Ranch.
It doesn’t take long after meeting Ben and the crew at L83 to realize that there are few people in agriculture that share the same level of excitement about providing nutrients for the global population. In a world of negativity, it’s refreshing to work with such an upbeat crew that enjoy the labor just as much as the fruits. To those that have not been to the ranch or met the talented people behind the Lodoen operation then wait no longer, they will go out of their way to take you through the cowherd, explain their breeding philosophies and talk about how you could benefit from an injection of their genetics into your program. There is no boarder to the distance that Ben will travel to research and investigate genetics that could provide the most profitable and successful genetics for his customers. The L83 has secured and produced several of the most dominate and proven herd sires and cow families in the breed. There is no doubt that Ben has been aggressive in his search to secure a group of cornerstone breeding pieces that lead the business. The sire battery that you will find in Westhope, North Dakota will rival any from the standpoint of a phenotype that is built for the Northern Plains!
The beef business is on the verge of record breaking times, and the forecast has us excited to see the new levels that can be achieved. An aggressive investment in numbers and genetics is likely to be met with rewards for those who are in a position to take advantage of the high potential of an upswing. There has not been a better time to invest in high quality genetics that will add more pounds, consistency and quality, because they will be paid for in the short term. A small investment upfront will be rewarded tenfold, and with the potency of genetics and cow family that stand behind this offering, you can trust in the heritability of quality that you will receive from adding L83 branded genetics to the bull roster.
Take this as your personal invitation to view or inquire about the Lodoen L83 Production Sale. Both the Lodoen and Geyer families are first class, the facilities at Kist Livestock are second to none, and the sale broadcast provided by DVAuction allows for a convenient way to bid whether you are standing in the sale facility or from the comfort of your own home. But rest assured if you make the journey to either the Ranch prior to sale week, or to Mandan to view the cattle in person you will be met with a treasure chest of genetic value and maternal power.

Guide to Genetic Data
ProS - Profi tability and Sustainability is an all-purpose index that predicts average economic differences in all segments in the beef supply chain. This index is a combination of the breeding objectives modeled in the HerdBuilder and GridMaster selection indexes. In this index, replacement heifers are retained from within the herd and all remaining progeny are fed out to slaughter and sold on a quality-based grid. Traits included in this index include calving ease, growth, HPG, STAY, Mature Weight, Dry Matter Intake and carcass traits. The resulting index is expressed in dollars per head born (Index/High Value).
HB - HerdBuilder is a maternal selection index that predicts the economic differences of animals for traits that are important from conception through weaning. Expressed as dollars per head born, HB is calculated based on the scenario that bulls are mated to heifers and cows, replacement heifers are retained and all remaining progeny are marketed at weaning. Traits included in the HB index include Calving Ease Direct, Calving Ease Maternal, Weaning Weight, Milk, Mature Weight, Heifer Pregnancy and Stayability (Index/High Value).
CED - Calving Ease Direct predicts differences in the percent of calves born unassisted out of 2-year-old dams. (Percent/High Value)
BW - Birth Weight predicts differences in actual birth weight of progeny. (Pounds/Low Value)
WW - Weaning Weight predicts differences in 205-day weaning weight. (Pounds/High Value)
YW - Yearling Weight predicts differences in 365-day yearling weight. (Pounds/High Value)
ADG - Average Daily Gain predicts differences in weight gain between 205 and 365 days of age. (Pounds/High Value)
DMI - Dry Matter Intake predicts differences in daily feed intake as measured in a feedlot during the post-weaning period. (Pounds/Low Value)
MILK - Milk predicts differences in weaning weight attributed to the milking ability of the animal’s daughters. (Pounds/High Value)
ME - Maintenance Energy predicts the difference in maintence energy requirements. (Mcal per Month/Low Value)
GM - GridMaster is a selection index that predicts the average economic difference of non-replacement calves through the postweaning phase of production. GM places selection pressure on growth, feedyard performance and carcass traits. Expressed as dollars per head born, GM is calculated based on the scenario that progeny are fed out to slaughter and marketed on a quality-based carcass grid. Traits included in GM include Average Daily Gain, Carcass Weight, Dry Matter Intake, Marbling, Back Fat and Rib Eye Area (Index/High Value).
HPG - Heifer Pregnancy predicts differences in the percent of daughters who are able to conceive and calve at 2 years of age following exposure to breeding. (Percent/High Value)
CEM - Calving Ease Maternal predicts differences in the percent of daughters who are able to calve unassisted as 2-year-old heifers. (Percent/High Value)
STAY - Stayability predicts differences in the ability of an animals’ retained daughters to remain productive in the herd – calve every year – through 6 years of age. (Percent/High Value)
MARB - Marbling predicts differences in marbling score – amount of intramuscular fat measured at the 13th rib. (Marbling Score Units/High Value)
YG - Yield Grade predicts differences in USDA Yield Grade, which is calculated using CW, REA and Fat. (Yield Grade Units/Low Value)
CW - Carcass Weight predicts differences in actual hot carcass weight. (Pounds/High Value)
REA - Ribeye Area predicts differences in square inches of ribeye area measured at the 13th rib.(Square Inches/High Value)
FAT - Fat predicts differences in the depth of backfat measured between the 12th and 13th ribs. (Inches/Low Value)

A big scrotal, stout featured, powerhouse son of Six Mile Wind Chill 828W that was raised by a tremendous first calf heifer sired by Six Mile King Ranch 721W. It is no secret that the Wind Chill sire group has been a hit over the years here at L83 Ranch, with progeny working in some of the top commercial and seedstock firms across North America. We love the durable build, density, and shear mass that he personifies. Possibly the best cow maker in the entire sale offering – dig your heals in here!

L83 Kruser 16K emerges as the finest son of RED TER-RON Riddler 57F we have raised to date! Truly an impressive specimen in the flesh, his type and kind align with the phenotypic goals we have built our breeding program around. He is extra burly in the rear two thirds of his skeleton, with extra pin width, back shape and base width. He combines that power with a smoothly designed shoulder, long neck and masculine head, he will sire value on either end of the spectrum. Turning to the maternal side of his pedigree reveals the support of a trident producer for the program, L83 Miss Bronte 021, a female who is coming 13 years of age and a maternal sister to the dam of the Reserve National Champion and $28,000 L83 2Strong 13F. An investment in proven genetics is going to pay dividends in the short term for those savvy enough to add quality herd sires to the bull battery.

L83 Kore 8K is a direct son of the legendary L83 Miss Tidal Wave 903 that has lived up to the pinnacle standard that you could ever hope for in a beef cow. She made her way to the donor pen the old school way, by consistently bringing the goods back to the weaning pen each fall. She made it off her own genetic and maternal value, without the fluff and puff of show ring recognition or playing off her cow family name. She has aged like a fine wine, and still remains one of the most impressive females in production at 14 years of age. 8K is a super dark hided, black tinged stud that is built with a big and rugged running gear, powerful hip and explosive stifle.

The Tradition
Some folks just don’t get it. They think owning cattle makes no sense. It takes too much time, too much equipment, not to mention the expense. But the fondest memories of my life -they might think sound funnywere made possible by Mom and Dad, ‘cause they spent the time and spend the money. You see, the most important lessons helping values grow so strong, come from loving cattle and passing the tradition on.
