DANDY ACRES A NGUS Celebrating 11.28.14 ollector’s Edition C A N G U S F E M A L E S A L E November 28, 2014 :: 2:00 . . :: Pipestone, MN pm www.dandyacresangus.com Angus Tradition since 1964 Welcome. . . We would like to welcome everyone to Dandy Acres Angus 50th Anniversary ‘Collector’s Edition’ Sale. It hardly seems possible 50 years have gone by since I purchased my first Angus heifers. A lot has changed since then . . . partners, economics, farm dynamics and my own family, but the Angus breed has been the common thread through it all. Looking back, I would like to recognize and thank my early mentors Marlin Berg and Paul Kraph, as well as the late Glen Eikmeier. They offered help and advice to a young farm boy and got him started on the right track. Let this sale remind us all that the kids we help today will be the cattlemen of the future. The history of our herd is on the bottom side of our pedigrees. You will see the ‘Dandy Acres’ prefix after 1975 as my brother, Roger, and I were the original Dandy Acres partners. Soon it became a family project, with our three kids all pitching in to develop the herd. Today it is my son, Neil, and I that represent Dandy Acres. Before 1975, the prefix was ‘GG’ when my father, Goodwin, and I were partners and prior to that just ‘G’ for Gregg. I was a kid the first time I proudly showed my brother-in-law the start of my small herd. He told me that my children would benefit more from the cattle than I would and went on to say that it takes a generation to build a good herd. Turns out he was right! With the genetic information available today the changes the next generation will see will be even more significant. These cattle showcase five decades of progress bred with emphasis on balanced trait selection and sound genetic princi- ples. As you study our offering and contemplate purchases at our ‘Collec- tor’s Edition’ sale, I have every confidence your selections will positively contribute to the genetic base of your own herd. The females in this offering were hand picked to showcase our hard work over the last 50 years. We can easily sell commodity cattle down the road at the sale barn, so we set out to make this set of females special. The bred females in this offering were mated as though they were are own, to sires that will best enhance there genetic merit. The same can be said for the heifer calves as they are truly special. We invite you to stop in anytime to preview the cattle and look forward to seeing you sale day!

The 5 decades of Angus participation have mirrored a tradition set forth by generations of Angus Entrepreneurs that have gone before. The script that has been repeated so many times is one of close family involvement, Angus fellowship, and stewardship of a breed that constantly evolves to meet industry needs. Gregg and Nancy Johnson and their family have done that like no other. The storied past of Dandy Acres Angus is one of infinite performance, production and show ring accomplishments made possible by the proliferation of cow families that blossomed through intense selection and culling, part of their standardized herd devel- opment protocol. The Collectors Edition Angus Female Sale is your opportunity to kick-start your own breeding program with these advanced Angus genetics that meet the management, performance and phenotypic benchmarks that are demanded of a competitive beef industry. We would again like to thank the Johnson family for including us in this historic celebration. Your pre-sale inquiries are welcomed and even encouraged. We look forward to greeting you on November 28th in Pipestone, MN. Sincerely, Al and Jeanne Conover Dave Sweeney 515-491-8078 641-373-4340 4 Jestress Cow Family The Jestress line goes back 50 years here at Dandy Acres and have done nothing but get better with age.
