We are blessed as breeders to be in a Great Breed of Cattle, and to watch the demand for cattle grow around the world. Looking back over the last 35 years of Cox Excalibur being in the cattle business, I don’t think I have seen a better time to be in the cattle business and especially Red and Black Brangus. The demand is not just for BEEF, but also our Breed of cattle. Breeders around the world are catching on to these cattle that will grow on grass in hot, humid, tropical climates, where the largest percent of cattle are in the world. Breeders and cattleman are also noticing how well these cattle grade and perform. Selling pounds of beef that can marble will produce a product that the customer and packers are demanding. Brangus and Red Brangus fit that demand. Take a close look at how the cattle are scanning with ultrasound and with the majority of our cattle coming in with the right size ribeye area (REA), high intramuscular fat (IMF) and very low back fat (BF). These traits are hereditary and impor - tant to the growth of our Breed since the marketplace is demanding tenderness and high quality CX Legends Dream 3/B1 beef. Cattleman are beginning to realize the importance of the Brangus cow especially in the hot humid climates where the majority of cattle are raised. With the growing population around the world and the demand for beef growing, that has kept prices high and probably going higher. The seed stock business has always bene - fited after a herd reduction and we have been seeing that in the demand for bulls and the prices being high - er than normal. Even the prices for heifers have risen with new and old breeders wanting more of our genetics in Red and Black Brangus from Mexico, South America, South Africa and Central America. We encourage you to stay focused on breeding better cattle, and collecting data to support your program. Starting with better cattle and genetics always makes it easier to be successful. Don’t be tempted to fill your pasture with numbers, fill it with quality, it will pay you more in the long run. Over the last 35 years we at Cox Excalibur are thankful for our repeat customers and the new breeders selecting us to help them get started in Red Brangus. A new addition to Cox Excalibur is we are now offering our Black Brangus customers a choice on genetics we have been developing and breeding for over 20 years. We have fol - lowed the Black cattle for years and are determined to breed and develop some of the best genetics possible. Our customers in South America look at Brangus as Red or Black. José and I work hard to produce cattle that grow on grass and will perform. José loves the cattle and believe me he knows what cattle work for our cus - tomers. José has helped build Cox Excalibur into a ranch that has sold cattle in 10 countries and many of those customers are repeat customers. That is what is important to us, we want our customers to be successful and be repeat customers for our new genetics. Your success is our success; we hope you find the cattle you are look - José Ramirez and Family ing for at Cox Excalibur and in the CX Advantage Sale 2018.
