SALE SCHEDULE
Welcome To Express Ranches
Welcome to Express Ranches for our 18th annual Spring Bull Sale. 2011 was to say the least a very challenging year, but
with some much needed moisture this winter and the best cattle prices any of us have ever seen you have to be excited
about the cattle business.
We greatly appreciate our past customers and want to continue to earn your business and if this is your first time to
consider Express Ranches, don't hesitate to ask any of our crew if we can assist with any of your decisions.
While our objective is to produce sound, fertile, problem-free cattle with superior phenotype, I think it is important to
share how this offering compares to the average Angus bull.

With all of us experiencing the best cattle prices in history, we still feel one of the most important decisions we have to
make is bull selection. Proper bull selection allows us to optimize our opportunities to turn a profit and maximize or land,
labor and cowherd.

bulls we can produce. All 510 Angus bulls selling have genomic profiles for you to examine. For more information on this
new technology please refer to page 6.
If Kevin, Mark, Donnie, Miles, Jason, I or any of our crew can answer any questions or supply any additional

Bob Funk & Jarold Callahan
