Dear Valued Friends and Loyal Customers:
It is with a sad heart that I am announcing the complete dispersal of our entire registered female herd of Brangus, Charolais and Angus cattle (excluding, of course, the females that had ever been in the adjacent pasture to the game preserve). This was not an easy decision for any of us. All of us at Camp Cooley Ranch have spent the last ten years building the finest and most consistent herds of registered Brangus, Charolais and Angus cattle in the world. We have dedicated ourselves to our customers and our philosophy of "Breeding the Best - Better".
The last three weeks have been a roller-coaster ride for all of us here at Camp Cooley Ranch. Because of the possible exposure to the exotic wildlife disease, from the wildebeest herd living in our game preserve to females in an adjacent pasture, a "hold order" was placed on the ranch and we were forced to cancel two spring female sales. Although the hold order has been lifted and we have returned to "business-as-usual", the loss of the revenues from these sales has forced us to reevaluate our business and our future.
We have no other choice. Although I am convinced that the cattle business has many opportunities in the very near future, to fulfill our obligations to you, our business partners, to our service providers, and also to our employees, this decision had to be made. This is a unique opportunity for you to benefit from our unfortunate event. The female dispersal sale will be held at the ranch, June 18th through June 21st. The bull dispersal sale will be held November 13th through 15th. Please contact us so that you can begin to make the selections that will make the genetic impact on your herd necessary for your future success.
With warm regards,
Klaus Birkel.
