Marketing Opportunities
Auction Markets
The auction market system has been the mainstay of commercial marketing for decades. These three outfits have sold
significant numbers of Stucky Ranch sired calves and are very familiar with our genetics and how they perform. They ap-
preciate all the information you can provide them regarding calf vaccination history, genetics of current sires, and recent
management practices. This helps them market your stock to its full potential.
Feedyards
We have developed a working relationship with the following two feedyards because they really appreciate feed-
ing and marketing high quality Angus genetics, and have experience feeding Stucky Ranch sired calves. These
companies are flexible with programs that would partner with you on feeding and marketing your calves. This
returns valuable data to you regarding the current feeding performance and carcass quality of your calves with the
opportunity for marketing premiums.
