Welcome To Express Ranches
Welcome to Express Ranches for our 19th Annual Spring Bull Sale. We greatly appreciate all of our past customers. and
our primary goal is to consistently strive to maintain your business. If this is the first time you have considered Express
as a genetic source for your operation, you will hopefully agree that we work hard to produce the best bulls possible, and
back that up with the best service in the industry.
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.
At Express we are constantly striving to blend technology with common sense to supply you, our customer, with the best
bulls we can produce. All of the bulls selling have HD50K genomic profiles for you to examine. For more information on
this new technology, please refer to pages 4 to 7.
If Kevin, Mark, Donnie, Jason, Miles, I or any of our crew can answer any questions or supply any additional information,
don’t hesitate to call.
Thank for your Interest!
