Dear Angus Friends and Fellow Cattlemen: Welcome to the 26th Annual Genetic Opportunity Sale! We are excited to bring you this outstanding offering in Grubbs Angus Farm and Les Craft Angus along with their sale guests, MCM Farms and Stewart Select Angus, have again assembled a set that illustrates the result of their combined experience in the purebred seedstock industry, spanning over seventy years and three generations, and their passion for the Angus female. They have always tried to bring forth their very best, and the care that was taken in the selection of this year s offering is apparent in the group of cattle they have pooled for your appraisal. The success that the Genetic Opportunity customers have had with past investments is testament to the depth and quality present in past events, and this year is no exception. These cattle combine performance with excellent phenotype to become competitors at any level in our industry. The bottom line is: Genetic Opportunity cattle appreciate in value. The genetics and EPDs represented on both sides of these pedigrees are second to none. The Angus breed s most popular sires are represented here as well as an exciting group of calves by the resident herd sires for each firm. Excellent show and donor prospects from power cow families and sired by breed-leading bulls will sell. Past Junior customers have claimed championship honors in show rings across the region and at every level of competition. Whether you select a proven female or an open prospect, you cannot go wrong. This year you will find an excellent set of replacement females either sold alone or on the side of their dams. If you are searching for a young donor, don t overlook their best ever set of bred heifers. I am excited to again be working with this progressive group of breeders in the marketing of their cattle. Evaluate your own situation and breeding goals, and on September 11 take advantage of the knowledge and cutting-edge efforts of these breeders and their programs. Please join us Friday evening for food and refreshments while you preview the cattle. Feel free to contact me or any of the owners with your questions or comments.
