The sixth annual Gardiner Angus Ranch-influenced commercial replacement female sale was, once again, a testament to the value-added potential of GAR-sired cattle. The 2007 Profit Proven offering featured consignments from nine diverse commercial ranching operations in southwest Kansas. The majority of the bred females were AId to GAR Predestined, Rito 6I6, GAR Solution, GAR Pinnacle and GAR Retail Product. All females were sired by or bred to GAR sires or sons of GAR sires. The majority of the offering was source- and age-verified through the AngusSource® or Guaranteed Gardiner Genetics G3 programs. Ashland Veterinary Center managed the health protocol for all ranches. Complete records, including all vaccinations and preventive health tests accompanied the cattle.
The nine ranches consigning to the 2007 sale include Giles Ranch Co., Bucklin, Kansas; Merrill Ranch, Wilmore, Kansas; XIT Ranch, Plains, Kansas; K Ranch, Garden City, Kansas; McCarty Land & Cattle Co., Ashland, Kansas; HG Land & Cattle, Offerle, Kansas; Krause Cattle Co., Garden City, Kansas; Randy Bayne, Protection, Kansas; and JO Cattle Co., Springer, N.M. Each ranch has used Gardiner Angus Ranch genetics exclusively for many years and value the premium opportunities available at each segment of the food chain. One of the first in the country to incorporate source and age verification tags, the Profit Proven Group continues to explore marketing opportunities that add value to GAR-influenced genetics up the food chain.
