Littau Angus Sale
Lots of good ranchers gathered for this annual event. The weather was just right with sunshine, a light breeze and drying conditions. People were just excited with being out and green grass showing up.
Long standing as good cowmen, Littau’s operate with inputs like a good commercial operation. The cowherd is strong on fertilility, milk and disposition. Only 40 percent of the male crop is offered as bulls. Leroy and Bob agreed this was their strongest, stoutest set ever – generations deep in productive nonpampered cows. Interesting footnote, many a bull sold for between $2,500-$3,000 that had a 700 pound plus 205 weight and 1,300 pound yearling weight- real value for your dollar.
On the seats were customers of Littau’s who sell their calves at the local auction markets and have market topping calves out of Littau Angus bulls. Just a good testimonial to the integrity of the Littau operation.
This year’s offering featured several top individuals all carrying the influence of their own breeding program – LAR Windy 64 423S and LAR Alliance 64L. Both sires are by the Eileenmere Diamond 16I LAR cow, a proven pathfinder producer.
As always, Colonel Lynn moved the sale along and prior to the sale, a great lunch was offered.
