Advantage Sale & CF Bull Sale Nomination Criteria 

The new year is upon us and so is the time to begin delivering and preparing bulls for the next year's bull sale season.  As in the past, we will be growing and developing the bulls at Landair Inc. / Brown Ranch down in Beeville, Texas.   Austin and his family have been doing an outstanding job growing the bulls and trying to keep the costs as low as possible given the drastic rise in commodities and input costs.  

This year, Landair is accepting bulls for both the Collier Farms Performance Bull Sale and the Advantage Plus bull sales between January 3, 2023 and January 23,2023.  He is also accepting Live Oak BBA bulls at this time as well, for those who have eligible bulls, for that test.  Anyone wanting to nominate/consign bulls to the test and sale, needs to contact Austin in advance to make arrangements for delivery.  DO NOT ARRIVE UNANNOUNCED!  Additionally, please make sure that you contact myself, Trey Scherer, with all the necessary information we need to get your bull in the system and to make sure he qualifies.  The qualifications can be found below.  Emailed copies of your certificates to me would be preferred.  

As in years past, we are expecting the quality and competition to be extremely strong.  Please send only your best bulls to be nominated.  Feed costs are high and Landair has limited space for bulls.  Only the best from each group will make the sale and you don't want to get a lot of money tied up in a bull that doesn't have a good shot at making the sale.  Please keep in mind phenotypic qualities and also growth rates. If your bull isn't weighing about 2lbs. per day of age (WDA) he is probably too far behind to make the cut.  Thin, small, and unsound bulls will be  cut immediately and we don't want to upset anyone or have them turn right around to go pick up their bull.

Times are looking great for the cattle business and prices in 2023 should be outstanding.  The Beefmaster breed is poised for continued growth and a larger share of the commercial bull market.  Let's continue to work together to produce both the best Beefmaster bulls on the market and the kind of genetics that will advance the beef industry into a very competitive protein market.  

Sincerely,

Trey Scherer
