49th Bull Sale - October 2, 2010 - Producers Auction - San Angelo, Texas
Isa Hosts Annual Female Fiesta
Isa's Female Fiesta features cows either bred to, or with calf by, a top L Bar Beefmaster bull.
We have had exceptional demand for our L Bar females, and beginning in April 2008, we plan to sell them at a private-treaty invitational event, to be held the last Saturday in April. We will be offering a nice selection of young pairs and a few older cows bred to one of our semen sires. Please let us know if you would like to be added to the list for our Spring Fiesta. You may call us at (325) 949-3763 or email us at lasater@isacattleco.com.
In addition, we have for sale a co-operator herd, available on a first-come, first-served basis. These will be first-calf heifer pairs bred back AI and cleaned up with top bulls. Please call for more information, including price of the co-operator herd and buy-back terms on the calves.
The Fiesta features young, registered females from the L Bar herd, which is noted for having produced the following great semen bulls: L Bar 8443, 9239, 5502, 6171, 7499, 8419, 0324, 2474, 2118, 3432, 3100 and 4401. L Bar 5502, considered by some to be the best beef bull in America, really put the L Bar herd on the map.
Needless to say, the L Bar herd is managed using Tom Lasater’s Six Essentials -- Disposition, Fertility, Weight, Conformation, Milk Production and Hardiness -- to evaluate cattle.
L Bar Herd Faces Rigorous Challenges
These L Bar heifers will breed at 13 months.
The L Bar herd is unique in several ways. The cattle run on leased pastures in a harsh semi-desert environment in West Texas and stay on a strict 60-day breeding season beginning at 13 months. All herd bulls come from the Isa bull test, which is the largest performance test in the industry. Isa Cattle Company has a unique cow production record which clearly evaluates the profitability of each cow. We use multiple sire herds to select for libido, and we DNA every calf to evaluate sire production.
In addition, the L Bar herd itself is a blend of the best of Lasater genetics from the tropics to The Great Basin. In sum, it is a unique herd, based on top herds from difficult environments with an intensity of management and natural selection unprecedented in Beefmaster history.
