[QUOTE="Frankie, post: 53568, member: 13"] Express Ranches. At least that's my opinion as to why Limousin were so popular here in OK. They're a huge operation; the largest seedstock operation in OK. They're also into the Angus business these days, but started with Limis. They're still a big financial supporter of the Limousin breed. Express has about six sales a year between the two breeds and show heifer sales. I've been told they have a great party at all their sales and people enjoy themselves big time. We went to their first Angus sale. When the first yearling bull sold for over $10,000, we knew we weren't going to learn anything so we haven't been back to one of their Angus sales. Express teamed up with Rolling Triple R (R3) and Limestone here in OK to form a group, I think, called EXG. They've bought (or an interest) in some high $$ bulls, 1407, Midland and promote them heavily. That group sells about 1,000 a bulls a year and are just very influencial in the state. They started their own branded beef program, but I don't know how it's going. One meat market here in town was selling their brand for a while but doesn't any longer. They also have a "customer appreciation" sale for people who use their bulls (Angus or Limi). They pay all the expenses of the sale, plus they can get buyers in for the larger drafts of calves.
