​ Welcome to the 12th Annual TeKrony Brothers Simmental bull sale.  There are a lot of wonderful and exciting changes happening at our ranch!  We have made the huge decision to move our sale to the ranch.  We feel it will be a lot less stressful on the cattle and on the humans!  Sale day is usually a high stress couple of days moving bulls to the sale barn, sorting them, hauling feed to them and making sure they look and feel their best.  A normal day at our place also consists of feeding cattle in the feedlot, cows and heifers calving at 2 places and that’s if the weather cooperates and nothing breaks down.  You all know what that’s like!!  We moved the time to 4pm in the afternoon so that all of you can get your chores done and not have to hurry to get to an early sale!  We also hope that you will all stay for snacks, refreshments and music from Collin Donnely!

 

 Justin has been out of college for 3 years now and he has stepped in and taken a huge role in the feedlot side of our operation. While still calving the momma cows at his house and helping me calve the heifers at our home place.

 

 Jace is in his 2nd year at LATC college and when he’s not in school he’s helping on the home place or him and Justin are calving the momma cows at their place.  Jace stepped up and AI’d the majority of the registered cows and helped me AI our 300 commercial heifers.  

 

 Kaden graduated in May of 2024 from Deuel High School with flying colors.  He is now living his dream working on the farm and guiding pheasant hunters at a couple of local pheasant preserves with his 4 labs!!  Yes, he’s still our “yard boss!”  He keeps everything moving in the right direction on the farm!  He has also taken on a new roll in the calving barn.  He is in charge of tagging and giving newborn calves their shots.  He keeps the barn bedded and calves healthy!

 

 Kaleb is now a Junior in high school.  I cannot believe my baby is 17 already!  Time sure flies! He is still growing like a weed, and I am sure he’s going to be the tallest of the brothers!!  He loves playing football and excels on the defensive line and offensive line, if you can believe that!

​

 We need to highlight the boy’s Grandpa LaVern, my dad.  He is like old faithful, he shows up everyday with a smile and no complaints!  He helps watch gates while the boys feed and bed in the pens.  He also helps sort and work cattle when he is needed.  He is our main Boer goat herdsman!  He feeds them and makes sure all the babies are up and sucking shortly after they are born.  Have you heard of those high $ eggs?  Well, Grandpa is our chicken tender!  He keeps those girls fed, warm and happy to keep laying those golden eggs!

           

 In the summer months we spend time as a family rodeoing.  All of the boy’s calf rope and team rope.  Kaleb will be the only one in HS Rodeo and 4-H Rodeo this summer.  It will be a little different without a full trailer going to the rodeos!  The other boys will enter amateur and pro rodeos all summer too.  We work hard to play hard.

 

 Lane stays busy traveling, selling feed and vaccinations for Midwest Livestock Service.  When he’s not selling feed he is keeping the boys and me inline making sure everything is done and organized on the ranch.  After 6 years I hung up the School Board duties.  I miss making a difference in our kiddo’s education, but I also feel I can do that in others ways too.  Since I don’t have enough to do (with a hint of sarcasm) I officially started my evergreen porch pot, artificial floral custom designs and decorating weddings. 

 

 Let’s talk elite replacement & show heifer prospects!  These heifers came straight out of the boy’s keeper pen! We want to share with you, our valued customers, 8 of our very best open heifers!  These girls come from some of our top dams of our cow herd.  These ladies perform for us year after year! 

 

 It is with great excitement and pride that we offer yet another set of outstanding bulls to you. We feel they will raise productive and profitable cattle from the registered herd to the6 commercial herd.  Breeding decisions made today will affect your herd for years to come, so we take our time and choose with confidence when breeding our cows.  Longevity, good feet, nice udders, performance and of course, disposition are what we focus on.  Genetics are passed down so take EPD’s and use them combined with the look of the animal.  The dams to these bulls have a very powerful set of genetics, as you will see many are moms and daughters and now granddaughters raising outstanding progeny. 

 

 In September, these bulls weaned like champs, never missing a beat right from their momma to the feed bunk!  Lane works very closely with nutritionist Brian Koedam from Midwest Livestock Service on our herd health and feed performance.  We can closely track our bull’s feed intake and performance by using the computer program Performance Beef.

 

 We would like to thank our customers for implementing our genetics into their herds.  Our success comes from all of you, we are truly thankful for the new relationships to come and the old ones with customers, neighbors, friends, and family being part of an ever-growing cattle business.  We know we don’t deserve your business; we must earn it!  

           

 Our gates are always open to our ranch any day of the year, we would love to show you our momma cows anytime! It just might help you to pick your next herd sire!

 

 Last but not least, I encourage you to all take a deep breath, let it out and look around you to see exactly what God has blessed us with in our lives.  Our greatest blessing is our amazing boys that grow more and more everyday into wonderful young men that we are so proud to call ours!
