2 Effertz EZ Ranch Discover Lowline Weekend Friends, OFFERING 70 LOTS OF CATTLE It has been a wild ride for most of this year but like many wild rides, not short on excitement. The excitement about the drought and high feed prices have, in turn, created a lot of excitement and interest in smaller framed, lower maintenance cost, highly effi cient Lowline cattle. Couple that with the rapidly growing demand for high-quality, home-raised, all-natural beef and you have a double whammy of opportunities to prosper in the Lowline business. We are seeing incredible growth in the number of new inquiries at our ranch and within our breed registry. That is why I say that although the cattle are smaller, we are the fastest growing breed in America. We welcome you to our 7th Annual Discover Lowlines Weekend Breeder Seminar and Sale. It has been a real challenge due to crazy weather and short feed supplies to get all the pieces of the puzzle put together for this year s event. I think you will enjoy Matt Boss presentation about his developing fodder system of supplementing his Lowline beef herd. I know you will enjoy The Effertz Girls presentation about preparing Lowline beef, especially when you get to taste it! And I know we all can learn a lot about how to photograph and market our seedstock from Tracey Koester of Cow Camp Promotions. Most importantly, I know it has been excruciating for me to let go of some of the really nice young cows and heifers in this sale. I can only say that if I had these quality cattle to get started with in 1996, some 17 years ago, the Lowline breed would have gotten bigger and more impressive even faster. It is only after years of experimentation and rigorous selection that we end up with some of this fi ne seedstock. I really hate to see them go but I really enjoy seeing the fantastic successes that our customers have enjoyed over the past few years, especially this last year. As I said to start... wow, it has been a wild ride! Please call or if we can help you in any way. Neil and Jan Effertz and Family Neil & Jan Effertz & Family Hwy 1804 N.

MRG Mojo 17Y 2013 National Champion Bull Judge Clint Rusk said, If you want to describe what a perfect bull should look like, take a picture of this bull. I wouldn t change much about him. Mojo is a very complete, eye-appealing, halfblood bull by the Ali son, Bojo, and out of a great fullblood Lowline cow. Doll House Gunslinger 223Z 2013 National Calf Champion Bull Gunslinger was also 2012 Supreme Champion Lowline at the NAILE in Louisville as a calf.
