Watkins Brahman Spring Select Production Sale
Location
Dear Brahman Enthusiasts:
It is an honor to be able to offer you these elite genetics in our first online sale. Over the past 30 years we have assembled some of the most proven and popular genetics in the breed. We have enjoyed success in the ABBA Carcass Evaluation Program, various sales, and in the show ring at the open level and with our daughter Lauren.
Our program is based on combing eye appeal, popular pedigrees, and performance data. The cattle that we are offering are functional cattle. The heifers were born on our place in Ganado, Texas and were sent to Texana Feeders in Floresville, Texas to be developed. We received these cattle back two weeks ago and then pictured and videoed them four days later. We tell you this so that you know these females will go home and stay in good shape.
We welcome you to come see the heifers in person or call with any questions that you might have. We are excited to offer these genetics and are confident that they will do their new owners a great job.
Sincerely,
Wade Watkins
