Welcome fellow cattlemen and women to our first annual Braford bull sale. As a 5th generation cattle producer, excitement on the ranch has ever been higher, as this event has been in the works since 2020. With our slogan for this sale, "Let us show you what they can do." Its more than a phrase, we truly believe these herd sires can be game changers for any operation. Braford cattle were created to provide beef producers a quality, consistent and efficient product for beef production. Using Braford bulls on adapted purebred or crossbred cows allows producers to maximize returns and produce excellent replacement females with the Braford maternal edge and hybrid vigor. Brafords have long been recognized for their superior maternal ability. Early puberty, fertility, calving ease, optimum milk production, maternal aptitude and productive longevity are attributes that make Braford females highly sought over.

As I write to you today, we are putting the finishing touches on the 2021-2022 show season. With the National Braford Show in Houston, Texas March 3-6 we invite everyone to stop by the booth and see our cattle and share in a good conversation. We have been truly blessed with a tremendous amount of success in the show ring since stepping back in, in 2020. We are pleased to have the 2020 United Braford Breeders Heifer of the Year; and the 2021 & 2022 United Braford Breeders Bulls of the Year on our ranch and a part of our breeding program. We don't breed cattle to show but we do show the cattle we breed.

With that said we believe we have one of the best offerings you can find of breeding age Braford bulls available on the market. Bulls will be fertility tested, guaranteed sound and we will provide free delivery for 500 miles from our operations center in Devine, Texas. We will have select show heifer prospects in the sale not in the catalog at this time along with open and bred heifers. We are ecstatic to announce frozen lots to include embryos from the 2020 Heifer of the Year, GPN CM Sally 0402, crossed with the 2021 Bull of the Year, SR Prime Time 1901. We will also have a lot of embryos from Sally you can purchase and cross with the bull of your choice. Additionally, we will offer a lot
of exportable semen from our up-and-coming bull, SR Pick Up Man 2016. All animals will be registered with the United Braford Breeders and World Braford Organization carrying papers from both entities.

The Stanton Ranch has been branding cattle in the state of Texas with the -EJ brand since 1909 and it's something we are very proud of. All animals will be branded on the hip as we are not only selling well balanced and functional cattle but a piece of the family ranch with each lot. Elliott Stanton started the operation in the early 1900's before later opening up a business in 1922 in Alvin, Texas that included a grocery store. Success is nothing new for the ranch, in 1934 at the Houston Fat Stock Show, George Stanton exhibited the Champion Carload of Hereford Steers both on the hoof and in the dressed beef competition. His son, and my grandfather, Warren would spend time traveling via train car with cattle across the country exhibiting winning livestock to shows such as the National Western in Denver, Colorado. When he was not showing cattle, he was on the ranch overseeing operations of the Hereford program. Warren, along with his son and my father, Allen would incorporate Brahman cattle in the 1980's to the ranch and be among the first Braford breeders in 1984. They would go on to breed and raise many National Champion Braford Bulls selling them across the world. They made sure my siblings and I were brought through the Texas Jr Braford and National Jr Braford Associations growing up. Our family didn't go on exotic vacations we went to Braford cattle shows and they are some of the warmest memories I have.

I am currently raising with my wife, Ellen, what I hope will be the 6th generation to run the Stanton Ranch. Our children Russell 8, Kenneth 7, and Savannah 3 are still young but very active and involved raising cattle. We have just completed our first ranch expansion moving the owned facilities from Poteet to Devine, Texas. If you are in the area stop by and have a visit.

Please feel free to reach out and don't forget to let us show you what they can do.

Regards,
Elliott Stanton
