Selling in the High School Senior Select Heifer Sale

To all of my Fellow TLBAA Members,

My name is Kyle Tanner. I have been an active TLBT member for almost seven years. I have recently been selected by the TLBAA to be a part of the first High School Senior Heifer Sale at the 2010 World Show. They selected four seniors to sell heifers at the sale to help them be a little more financially ready to attend college. One of the requirements was to send letters to members and to market your heifer to the best of your ability.

I am selling a heifer that was born March 3, of 2009. Her name is HL Lady Raider.

        I purchased her using the money I won from catching at the Houston Livestock Show calf scramble in 2009. She comes from Pete and Stacie Hood’s herd in Indiahoma, Oklahoma. Her pedigree speaks for itself. She was sired by ML Howitzer and her dam is HR Emperor’s Lace and her Grand sires are Country Liberator and Emperor. She is a very traditional red and white heifer with a long body. She has adequate horn growth for a heifer her age and she has an exceptional spring of rib. She won Junior Reserve Champion at her first three shows. I believe she is capable of improving anyone’s herd. Her conformation is not her only attribute. She has a great disposition. She is a perfect animal to have penned up when kids or grand-kids come for a visit because she loves to be around people and she does not throw her head around like some cattle. She still has two more years that she can be shown in the youth show and I think she will only place better as she matures. I plan on breeding her to my bull out of another cow that I own. He won Grand Champion Youth Bull at the Fort Worth Stock Show and the Autobahn Sweepstakes show in February. He is a black and white bull and is put together wonderfully. He is a complete package with adequate horn growth, spring of rib, good legs, and a lot of natural muscle. I have not bred them yet because I want to give you the option of breeding her to your herd sire or another bull you might have in mind if my bull does not sound like what you are looking for. I plan to breed her for a March calf, so if you are interested in her and would like to breed her to your bull instead of mine, please contact me before May 25th.

           I hope after reading about my heifer and looking at the attached pictures, you are interested in her. I hate to see her go because like all the animals I own, I am very attached to her. I know she has the capabilities of improving any herd, including mine. If you have any questions please feel free to call or e-mail me or my mom. I will be happy to send other pictures to help you make a decision. Thank you for your time and consideration of my heifer.

           Sincerely,

           Kyle Tanner
