slightly different age that may be a better fit for some operations.
The females sell with complete GeneMax Advantage percentile rankings and $Values for $M, $B and $C. These bred heifers
will make elite replacements and are bred to high-use GAR AI sires. This historic market presents tremendous investment
opportunities and greater profitability in the future.

The ticks on a timeline documenting historic events in the beef industry show us progress. The Gardiner Angus Ranch 47th
Annual Spring Production Sale documents a day that is a result of historic markets and historic demand for beef. It also
documents the process of adding value over decades through the discipline of multi-trait selection for calving ease,
early growth, marbling, muscle, moderate stature and the maternal function to replicate the process. This historic day
sends a strong signal throughout beef production that adding value in all sectors is not only possible but is also being
rewarded in the marketplace.
Over a decade ago, our dear friend and commercial producer Joe Mayer, Mayer Ranch, recognized the investment potential
of owning a high use GAR AI sire. Joe purchased Lot 1, GAR Momentum, the highest marbling Angus bull at the time in our
35th Annual Spring Production Sale. Today, Momentum still ranks in the top 3% of the Angus breed for marbling. Since
then, many of our Lot 1 partners are commercial cow-calf producers. Fast forward 12 years, the interest among
professional commercial beef producers to own the next generation of multi-trait excellence possessed by GAR Grand Slam
was unprecedented.
When the gavel ended the bidding, JLB Ranch, Douglass, Kan., invested $800,000 in a bull destined to revolutionize the
beef business and continue to improve the quality of beef. It is important to note, the contending bidders were all
commercial beef producers that recognize the value of calving ease, early growth, moderate stature, maternal function
and marbling. We are excited to partner with Jim Bosler and Jason Dierks, JLB Ranch, on GAR Grand Slam.
