All right, so we got another preview. And actually this one is brought to you by Premium Beef Genetics. We partnered up for for from this point forward. Now, Mr. Marlo has decided to trust empower you to represent a lot of his clients and very, very excited and grateful for that. So Mr. Marlo, thank you. We have Mr. Jared on here with us and he is the primary owner and runner of Shaggy Meadows there. They have a sale on March 6th there in South Dakota. You can find it on DD Auctions. I'm really excited to talk about these cattle, especially with Jared. I've never been able to meet you, unfortunately, but just having some brief conversations. I'm glad that we're able to do this for you. So talk to me about what Shaggy Meadows is all about. Obviously it's 9th annual sale there for y'. All. Kind of the history of it and what Yalls primary goal is.

Yeah, we started into the Red Angus business, so probably right after college, so about roughly 20, 22 years ago. Our interest in red Angus cattle came from just being around a resup herd that had a lot of red cattle in it. And we always appreciated the mother of those animals. And we kind of started to venture into the seed stock business. And it's always been a primary goal of ours to focus strong on maternal traits. And as we've continued to evolve as a program main constant in that maternal traits. But then we started to incorporate a few more growth traits and a few more phenotypical traits that we felt would benefit our commercial customers the best. We think that moving forward with our program, these are going to pay dividends, especially if it's a a pay weight product from the cow she's able to produce that year in and year out. And just keep in mind longevity and efficiency.

Mr. Marlo, how did you end up meeting Mr. Jared and why do you decide to represent them?

Yeah, good question, Weston. Man, I tell you, me and Jared, we met kind of through just sales in general. Basically we like the same kind of cattle, you know. And I mean, whenever you're in this business, you run across people at different areas of it that fall in line with you as far as what you like and what you look for. And the main thing that got me so intrigued with Jared is he's got so much passion for making like improving the Red Angus breed, you know. And that's what really brought me forth to really want to partner with him and help him market these cattle. This is my fifth year to help Jared market his bull sale. And it's been a fun ride. We've been, we've had a lot of just really unique bulls that we put out there and sent these things across the country at different various places. And what about them as they just get better rather than go backwards. Whenever they hit these registered breeders or commercial breeders alike, they just, they do, they just explode even more. Because the way Jared, you know, brings these cattle across, he does it slow and he doesn't push them to where they get wonky and can't move right and whatnot. So he eases these bulls across and he gets them there at a, at a slower rate, basically. But they just do it on their own naturally, you know, and it's all genetics that does it out there at Shaggy Meadows. And that's what I've always found super unique. And he's just got, like I said earlier, he's got a lot of passion for making better cattle. And I mean proven built his whole entire cowherd around proven genetics, quality pedigrees and just females that go out and do the work, do it the old fashioned way in a roundabout way. Weston so it's kind of unique just to see all the way these cattle thrive out there on grass and different scenarios that we've sent them and you know, smaller breeder, but man, we've sent these things to some big breeders and they've, they've put them to hard work, I mean and they have come out thriving. So it's, it's been a fun journey.
