Welcome to the Annual Angus Elite Production Sale. We would like this letter to
be your personal invitation for you and your family to come join us on our new sale
date, November 15th at 2 P.M. (CST). After an excellent inaugural sale last year,
we believe this offering surpasses the quality from a year ago.
Steinbronn Angus has reached deep into our bred heifer pen to offer some of
the best of our program. The matings and fetal sexing done on this set of heifers
are fresh, rare and progressive. We believe this is a great opportunity to get ahead
of the curve on future value. Each Steinbronn Farms lot will sell with a compli-
mentary 5 straws of our featured herd sire, PA Steadfast B1280. He is impressive
in EPDs, muscle and extremely docile.
The Bell Family has brought an excellent working set of females. These
females have raised us good calves that have been retained as replacements or
sold very high as bulls through Pine View Angus, IA or Gardiner Angus, KS. They
are deep and easy fleshing. Many bred to our new herd sire, a son of Select Sires
Coop Baldridge Jennings Z064.
We have tried to go see or touch base with all the customers from last year
and are very encouraged by the performance of our cattle away from our
programs. We believe this set will surpass last year’s.
The cattle are ready for viewing anytime. Please call to set up a visit or with
any questions about the offering.

The cattle business has many blessings, but there is no greater one than the
ability to work with genuinely good people. That is what the Steinbronns and Bells
are, just flat good people. The quality of the people in the Angus cattle business we
have found after decades of being in it is in direct correlation with the validity of
the data, the public advertisement and display of your cattle, the management of the genetics and the ability to stand behind your
product.
We are VERY excited about this offering. We believe of the top five bulls we saw sell in the country last year, four of them
are referenced in this offering. One of the very difficult goals in this business is to see the genetic future and how to position your
program and genetics to be a seedstock option. We believe this offering sees the future. Explosive marbled pounds that birth easy,
moderate the growth curve, have muscle expression in the round and ribeye and females that maintain the desired longevity and
attractiveness that Angus cattle are known for are the goals of these two operations. This is not easy but absolutely the goals.
Top end lots are exciting! The pregnancies and 1/2 interest yearling heifer are as progressive as the breed has to offer. The oth-
er cattle I hope you find represented as they are. I am terrible at Photoshop with no desire to become good. The pictures represent
the real world cattle and genetics that these two excellent programs are bringing for your evaluation.
Please feel free to call with any questions. We will be doing the video work for DVAuction and look forward to working with
them again.
God Bless,
