<strong>November</strong> <strong>19</strong>, 2011 • Noon • <strong>Red</strong> <strong>Horse</strong> <strong>Ranch</strong> Arena, Fergus Falls, MN<br />
Welcome to the 2011 Great Northern Auction<br />
Schedule of Events…<br />
Sale Day Lunch: Lunch will be served starting at 11 a.m.<br />
Auction<br />
Who would have thought that in <strong>19</strong>95 when the Minnesota <strong>Red</strong> Angus Association organized<br />
their first Great Northern Sale that 16 years later it would still be going strong ? In fact four of the<br />
breeders selling cattle in the 2011 Great Northern have been involved in every single one !<br />
Longevity in the purebred cattle business is a rare thing and I tip my hat to Arlan Dahlke, the Paul<br />
Fehrman Family, Mark Nelson and the Sonstegard Cattle Co., LLC programs that have stood the<br />
test of time and helped make the Great Northern what it is today.<br />
Last year, the Great Northern made the move to Fergus Falls, Minnesota and <strong>Red</strong> <strong>Horse</strong> <strong>Ranch</strong><br />
Arena. I am not sure any of us were ready for such an enormous and spectacular facility. We<br />
have made a few changes to the sale ring and cattle handling from last year and you owe it to<br />
yourself to come and just see the facility if nothing else. Once there, I can assure you that the<br />
quality of the <strong>Red</strong> Angus cattle will grab your attention and you will find some that you must have.<br />
The cattle from the “North Country” are hardy and adaptable to any region of the North American<br />
continent. If you don’t have what it takes to come to Minnesota in late <strong>November</strong>, we have made<br />
it easy for you to participate through the internet and DVAuction. Please tune in, watch, and be<br />
prepared to bid. I will have an 8’ X 30’ trailer headed back down I-35 to southeast Iowa for<br />
anyone that can meet me – let’s load ‘er up ! I also will be going through the cattle on Friday<br />
afternoon and would be glad to visit with you about any lots you find interesting.<br />
Historically, the top-end of the cattle in this sale has been exceptional, and I will assure you there<br />
will be plenty of quality and money makers in this year’s auction. After 17 years, the Great<br />
Northern deserves your attention – if it wasn’t good, it wouldn’t have stood the test of time<br />
would it?<br />
I look forward to seeing you in Fergus Falls, Minnesota<br />
<strong>November</strong> 18th and <strong>19</strong>th!<br />
