Dear friends and cattle enthusiasts,On behalf of Kelly Cattle Company and Blueprint Cattle Company, I would like to extend a warm

welcome to the 12th Annual Right Direction Female and Bull Sale. We take great pride in breedingand producing females and bulls that will add value to your program. It is truly humbling to see howmany of our buyers come back and purchase additional genetics from us. We work hard to breedgenetics that perform at a high level of profitability in our customers’ herds.

Our goal is straightforward and simple. We strive to provide you with predictable, maternal genet-ics that are versatile in their kind and add to your operation’s bottom line profitability. We don’t breedfor extremes, but rather breed for middle-of-the-road cattle that are easy fleshing, good-structuredindividuals that are heavily muscled, big bodied, and sound. We breed for that show ring look and forcattle that will lay down and have calves that are better than their individual mothers. These aregenetics that have proven to be very profitable for our customers and for our own operations.

I feel confident that we have a set of cattle in this sale that will fit yours needs, whether you area club calf producer, have a purebred program, or are a commercial cattleman. These are time-test-ed genetics that have worked in many programs.

I would like to thank everyone that is involved in making this operation work. It is great to haveWade Conover here on a day-to-day basis to help me make it through the grind of AIing, calving, andmarketing our cattle. I am blessed to have our friends and family to guide us and truly be there forus. I mean that with all my heart.

Please look in the back of the catalog for the featured suc-cess stories of our customers from their past year of sales. Iam thrilled just how good of a job these females are doing fortheir new owners. As always, it is a pleasure to work with youand to help you with your purchasing needs.
