BEEFMASTER SECTION
Strong Sales Continuing Into the New Year By Beefmaster Breeders United Communications
T
HE FALL OF 2013 AND THE EARLY MONTHS OF 2014 HAVE proven to be strong for the Beefmaster breed. The Beefmaster breed has continued to see
demand for fertile and functional females, as well as witness an increase in demand for powerful Beef- master bulls. The demand for Beefmaster bulls was strong in 2013 and is continuing to grow as spring- time 2014 approaches. With this increase in demand, the Beefmaster bull is making a name for himself in the cattle industry because he is “The Best of Both Worlds.” Commercial cattlemen and women have witnessed that a Beefmaster bull will produce ex- tremely fertile, functional and docile females to rebuild America’s cowherds, as well as produce profi table and effi cient feeder calves that deliver results in the current marketplace. Even more commercial cattle- men and -women are experiencing the performance and productivity that comes from a Beefmaster bull.

All Naturally Raising Cattle A Cut Above The Rest! 76 The Cattleman March 2014
Several of these breeders took action and bought over 500 Beefmaster bulls that were sold in 4 outstanding fall sales. These strong sale numbers are a testament to the demand of the beef cattle industry’s need for high-quality Beefmaster bulls. The Isa Cattle Company hosted their 52nd Beef-
master bull sale on Oct., 5, 2013 in San Angelo, Texas where 26 buyers from 9 states bought 111 Beefmaster bulls at an average of $3,940. Isa’s president, Lorenzo Lasater, stated the sale was extremely strong from beginning to end. Across the state in Brenham, Texas over 113 performance-tested bulls were sold at the Central Texas Beef “On” Forage Performance Bull Sale on Oct., 19, 2013 for an average of $5,699. Beef “On” Forage” bulls are developed and tested on grass for more than 300 days and never confi ned to a feedlot. Ranchers and commercial cattlemen have been sat- isfi ed with purchasing Beefmaster bulls through the Beef “On” Forage sale for over 25 years because the bulls maintain their performance at home. The La- sater Ranch, founders of the Beefmaster breed, hosted their 64th annual Beefmaster sale on Sept., 7, 2013 in Matheson, Colo. The sale was successful with 39 buyers from 11 states and Mexico taking home 115 bulls at an average price of $3,200. The high selling 2-year-old bull went to Violeta Ranch of Hebbronville, Texas. The high selling herd sire went to Fernando Garza and Jose Luis Rocha of Durango, Mexico. Strong sales and growing demand that began last
fall for Beefmaster bulls has also carried over into the new year with the Live Oak Beefmaster Breeders Association (LOBBA) Bull Sale that was held Jan., 11, 2014 in Three Rivers, Texas. With one of the largest crowds to ever attend the LOBBA bull sale, the sale av- eraged right at $5,948 for the 107 bulls bought. Several of the bulls were purchased by Mexican cattlemen. The demand for thick and clean Beefmaster bulls is not only reaching throughout the United States, the demand is reaching internationally into Mexico and Central America. Several of the Beefmaster sales have been supported by international guests and it is easy to say that international cattlemen and women have taken notice of the top-quality Beefmaster animals being produced in the United States.
