Ranch History...
|
The Judy and Line
Ranch was founded in
1887
when Roy Judy purchased
land
from the railroad and
began
raising Shorthorn
cattle. A
generation later, his
daughter Irma and her
husband Azale Line took
up
the family business and
starting using Hereford
cattle. When their son,
Doug, and his wife,
Dixie,
took the reins, they
brought
in Angus cattle to
produce a
black white face F1
cross.
The tradition continues
with
me, Darby, and my wife,
Annette doing business
as
Triangle J Ranch.
We introduced Simmental
to
the ranch, with the
initial
group being made up of
the
old red and white
spotted
cows. We have
now transitioned
to
black-hided cattle to
fulfill the needs of our
customers. We run about
1000
head of registered
cattle
(800 Simmental, 200
Angus). The bulls range from
1/2
blood Simm/Angus to purebred
Simmental and Angus.
Approximately 200
yearling
bulls sell on our January
Sale,
another 100 yearling bulls
are
sold by private treaty. Over
200
females are sold in
November.
The Triangle J Ranch Sale is
located on the family farm,
30
miles northwest of Kearney,
NE.
The sale is annually the
last
Sunday in January.
Approximately
200 yearling bulls sell each
year. We do all the
preparations
for the sale from getting
the
cattle ready, to preparing
the
sale catalog, to cooking the
meal for sale day.
Commercial cattlemen are the
main focus of our breeding
program. Most of our
customers
are local, but we do have a
number of out-of-state
buyers who come back year
after
year.
We have also been
fortunate enough to
place
a number of bulls in
many
of the popular bull
studs.
We attribute our family's
success to our intensive
artificial insemination (AI)
and
embryo transfer (ET)
program. In 2010 we
will
be transferring over
150
embryos into our commercial
cows
in order to improve quality
and to meet the
increasing
demand for Sim\Angus
genetics.
Our goal is to produce
females
with fleshing and milking
ability that raise calves
that
weigh heavier at weaning. We
also look for moderately
framed,
thick, high-performing
cattle. Most of the
cattle
for sale are both Homozygous
Polled and Homozygous Black
and are
solid-colored.
Not
only do we strive to provide
our
customers with more uniform
cattle, but we also try to
follow up with our customers
after the sale.
Our oldest son Travis
enjoyed
livestock judging for Colby
Community College and the
University
of Nebraska at Lincoln.
He graduated from UNL with
an
Agricultural Economics degree,
and
is enjoying his work at First
National Bank in Omaha. Dillan
has
been laboring on the ranch as
well
as attending the University of
Nebraska at Kearney. He will
student
teach this fall at 2 elementary
schools and the high school in
Kearney. Jason, Creyton and
Braxton
will continue their academic,
athletic and extra-curricular
activities at
Sumner-Eddyville-Miller (SEM).
For more than 125 years, our
family has survived in
central
Nebraska through our
commitment
to our customers and
breeding
quality cattle. We welcome
visitors any time. We would
love
to give you
a herd tour!
