All right, so we got another preview for y'. All and I'm very, very excited about this one one because the first individual that I talked to about doing this sale in particular was the dad, Mr. Seth Almanza. And tonight we have his son Ethan on here with us to describe them and talk to him or talk to y' all about the set of show steers that are offered. This sale is extremely, extremely unique in a lot of ways, just due to the fact of the genetics that are offer very outcross and outlier in my mind. But that goes to show the quality of the cattle that those genetics can offer. This is the prime time for showtime sale that is happening on SC online sales on April 4th. So once again, I've stayed. Ethan, his son is on here tonight to talk about the cattle with us. Ethan, talk to me about maybe the primary goal of what you and your dad try to strive to create and offer for the public. Obviously y' all are, have been doing this for a little while and y' all have definitely grown it into something extremely, extremely beneficial. Talk to me about that and then after that, we'll dive through the lots.

Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Like you said, I'm Ethan Almanza. I'm Seth Almanza's son. Going back in my history, I showed cattle in high school. My mentor was Matt Woodley. He runs Case's cattle company over there. Y' all know y' all did a sale preview for them not long ago, but I mean, he really, he really helped us take off and got us going in the very beginning. And you know, dad and I have been plugging away at this slowly but surely bringing in cattle left and right, trying to put the best that we can forward for tomorrow's showman. And we, we, we really, really strive to put these calves in good kids hands. And that, that's the biggest, that's the biggest payoff for us. It's not the money. It's getting to see the smiles on those kids faces whenever they make it to show day. And all the hard work off seeing these kids and how well they do at the end of the year, you know, you know, they put in the time effort and you know, they, they learn so much more than just how to show a calf. I mean, they, they, they learn discipline, they learn the responsibilities that go with it. I mean, just knowing that we got to be a part of that kid's upbringing and part of that kid's experience just really, really does it for us. It's not. Money's nice, but I mean, we really, really like and love to see how those kids progress and grow as people in this world would just like to be part of that.

When you start off the sale with lot one, a Red Cross prospect that's out of a bull that's called Leviticus on a female y' all call Mabel. Obviously she was purchased from 111. This calf reads to to be a really unique specimen. To be honest with you. Y' all mentioned that he's a first year showman approved. So obviously has good docility. But what's intriguing about the calf is he reads to be a slick sheeran beast. I think his feet and legs are perfect and extremely ideal to be pushed to get 12 o', clock, especially for those later spring sale or the spring shows. Talking like Austin, Houston wise, I think the caf's got a lot of future ahead of him.
