“We started buying bulls from 5L in 1989. Our cows are run on minimal expenses. They need to raise a calf and get bred! Fertility is important to us! We pregged our 400 cows with only 4 opens! “

“We send our steers to a Farmer Feeder in Iowa. Our 5L sire calves from this past year were the cheapest cattle he has EVER fed. These cattle averaged 1460 and graded:

97% Choice or above

30% Prime

65.22 yield”

“Our 5L Forman first calf heifer calves really performed. They made 40 percent of the steer load and were 65 pounds heavier than anything i have ever sold. Thanks for the consistent bulls and help over the years!”

“A number of years ago, probably 20, when we realized we no longer cared to pull 20-30% of the calves of our two year olds, Joe began praying for help. Somehow during that time he told me, “DeeAnne, I need to see who and what God is blessing and get in on their blessing.” Around that time he noticed 5L was largest Red Angus Breeder of North America. We came to your sale, got to know you and your family, sit in on the seminars and learn the genetic difference you have been making in Red Angus, and could see God’s blessing written all over 5L. From that time until present we have purchased 5L bulls only. The last two years we have pulled just two out of 100 calves from our two year old herd. What a difference! Probably would have happened quicker but we raise replacement heifers only from our own stock. Thank you for making this years calf sale be so good for us. 5L name carries a lot of weight!!!! We appreciate you!”

"As we continue to strip costs out of our operation by taking feed and supplements to a minimum, the 5L cattle separate themselves from a fertility and fleshing ability perspective. Keep up the good work!”

“In my 20 years of ultrasounding I have done over 160,000 head of cattle. This is far and away the best set of bulls I have ever done anywhere. The carcass quality of these bulls is truly amazing, for bulls to average 6.01 IMF on 350 head is outstanding. It is equally as impressive for them to retain the amount of muscle they have, as the two traits are antagonistic.”

~ David Aborn, Designer Genes Technologies

“My daughter Emily’s steer she had at the fair, was sired by a 5L bull. I know it’s only one steer but I was pretty impressed!

Carcass results: 1195 lbs live, 17.4 in REA , .3 in BF, YG 1, CHOICE +

Pretty cool best steer we’ve ever put on the rail.”
