I would like to welcome everyone to our 13th Annual Production Sale. Our goals are still the same, to<br />

produce the kind of cattle that are low input and create the greatest confidence and value for our customers. We<br />

try to improve the quality of the cattle each year and this year is no different.<br />

We are excited about the offering this year due to some of the most influential sires of our time. You will<br />

find representation of SAV Net Worth, SAV Predominant, SAV Traveler 004, SAV Final Answer, SAV Pioneer and<br />

BC Matrix. Just like always, each mating decision goes through a checklist. Will the offspring work in a progressive<br />

herd and grow rapidly and efficiently, and if asked to, become a mother cow that can be sustained in a low<br />

input situation? Keep in mind our approach in developing our breeding bulls--wheat pasture. The bulls have<br />

enough feed to express genetic differences and enough exercise to protect their longevity. They’ll be athletic and<br />

ready for service. What you see is what you’ll get.<br />

Although this year has been filled with many milestones in the cattle industry, this sale will be the<br />

hardest for the <strong>Stevens</strong> <strong>Land</strong> and <strong>Cattle</strong> family. A familiar face, which I have always truly enjoyed seeing in the<br />

crowd, will no longer be with us. We lost a longtime customer, a great friend, and most importantly, the man who<br />

I was proud to call my grandfather, Billie <strong>Stevens</strong> on April 27, 2010. Hours before being admitted to the hospital,<br />

Grandpa was out doing what he loved to do, feeding and tending to the cattle. He was a great steward of the land<br />

they grazed and he leaves behind many great memories. Grandpa, we love and miss you greatly.<br />

Don’t hesitate to call or come by the ranch to view the cattle. And like always, cattle will be on display<br />

the morning of the sale. Be our guest for lunch on Saturday, March 12, 2011. We look forward to seeing you and<br />

serving your genetic needs for many more years to come.<br />

Sincerely,<br />

Shawn <strong>Stevens</strong>
