Going to southwestern Kansas isn't exactly easy. Not many find Ashland, Kansas, on their way to anywhere. Yet, the first Saturday in April each year, country roads in Clark County come alive with traffic unlike any other time of the year. The traffic increased during the entire week prior to April 4, when 262 buyers from 31 states braced themselves against ferocious winds to make purchases in Gardiner Angus Ranch's 30th Annual Production Sale. A depressed economy, rising producion costs and the overall impact of arthrogryposis multiplex cannot be ignored. Yet buyers filled the seats in an obvious show of solidarity to a breeding program backed by unmatched integrity, an unconditional guarantee and commitment to the overall betterment of the beef industry.

The momentum never diminished for those beef producers who came to make genetic selections to improve their programs. One thousand thirty eight lots sold in a record time of 7-1/2 hours. At the end of the day, 1,038 lots totaled $4,023,150 for an overall sale average of $3,876. You can read the complete sale report and watch our thank you video by logging onto www.gardinerangus.com.
