We have been purchasing
bulls from Triangle J
Ranch since 1998. In
that time we have
purchased 25 bulls and
have not yet been
disappointed
with the performance or
longevity of the bulls.
The quality of bulls
runs
deep on sale day and are
all raised on the Triangle
J Ranch. We have come
to appreciate the calving
ease, uniformity and
growth that Darby's
bulls
have given to our calf
crop. Triangle J genetics
have greatly increased
our
sale day weights,
returning value to our
operation.
I have purchased bulls
both at the sale and
private treaty from
Darby
and I like the fact that I
can buy a bull from him
over the phone and
know that he will fit our
program. The bulls have a
good guarantee and
are backed 100%. Darby
continues to be dedicated
to the commercial
cattlemen by producing
moderate framed, easy
fleshing cattle that
perform well. Because of
the quality and
performance of the bulls
you
will continue to see us
buying bulls from Darby
every year.

I have purchased 15 Angus
and Sim-Angus bulls from
the Triangle J Ranch
since 2003 and have been
pleased with the offering
of moderate framed,
easy
fleshing, high performing
bulls that Darby and his
crew have produced each
year. I know as a
commercial beef producer,
that hybrid vigor is vital
to profitability and that
the complementarity of the
Simmental and Angus breeds
is unbeatable. I have
sorted through Sim-Angus
herds in a 5 state area
and have found that the
quality and consistency
runs deeper in the
Triangle J herd than any
I�ve looked at. Finally,
the best standard to judge
seed stock producers by is
their guarantee on the
bulls they sell. Triangle
J Ranch backs their bulls
100%! My thanks go to the
Line Family for their
dedication and hard work
providing HIGH QUALITY
Sim-Angus genetics.

We purchased our first
bulls from Triangle J
Ranch in 1999 and have not
felt the need to purchase
elsewhere since. We have
been very excited with the
bulls and the tremendous
genetics they have brought
to our program. The calm
demeanor of Triangle J�s
bull�s is a characteristic
that probably means the
most to us. We receive
comments all the time on
how easy our bulls are to
work with.
Our calf crop has been
purchased by the same feed
yard for the last 7 years.
We are very pleased, as is
the finisher, with the
high quality of the
calves. We have been able
to track the performance
of our calves consistently
to the rail and have been
very pleased at how they
grade. Darby has helped us
improve our herd genetics
and market a consistent
and uniform calf crop.

We would like to
congratulate Darby on a
tremendous job of
improving the line of
Simmental genetics. We are
so pleased at how much
Darby backs his bulls and
stands behind his word.
It�s not often, now days,
that you find someone that
handles business the right
way. But, because of this
you will see us at the
Triangle J Ranch
Production Sale whenever
we need a bull. We look
forward to the sale each
year! Thanks Darby!

We purchased our
first set of
Triangle J bulls 6
years ago and have
been very pleased
with the genetic
improvement in our
breeding program.
Since then we have
purchased more bulls
and are exclusively
using Triangle J
bulls on our
commercial crossbred
cow herd.
The Simmental Angus
cross bulls from
Triangle J have
brought much more
consistency and
uniformity to our
calf crop. This
exceptional
performance, both on
grass and in the
feedlot, return more
value to our cattle
operation. Having
the opportunity to
market our calf crop
through a local
feedlot has provided
us invaluable
performance
information on our
calves and allowed
us to witness first
hand, the genetic
improvement in
performance and
carcass merit that
Triangle J bulls
bring to the table.
Darby and the gang
have

definitely developed
a sound breeding
program that fits
the commercial
cattlemen�s
operation.
Triangle J has
continued to provide
our operation with
sound support and
dedication to
providing one of the
best genetic
breeding packages
available.
Congratulations to
Triangle J and
thanks for your
dedication to the
beef industry!

We purchased TJ
Black Explosion 15A
in 1992 from
Triangle J Ranch
looking for Carcass
Merit bloodlines.
Observing calves
prior to 1992 we
needed our calves to
grade higher. TJ
Black Explosion did
just that in
addition to
producing great
females. Since that
time we have
purchased additional
bulls on a regular
basis. We are
pleased with the
longevity of
Triangle J Ranch
bulls and the number
of cows settled per
year.
In 2002 we purchased
a son of Nichols
Black Destiny D12
from Triangle J
Ranch. The first
offspring of that
bull won the 2004
Nebraska Cattlemen's
Retail Value Steer
Challenge. The steer
had a 66% yield,
16.4 rib eye area
and a $3.57 gain in
value per day. With
these facts Triangle
J Ranch's

breeding program is
on the right
direction with
genetics. This works
great in my retained
ownership program.
With the support and
dedication of
Triangle J Ranch we
will continue to use
Triangle J's
genetics.

As President of
KAAPA, I have used
the phrase,
�value-added� many
times. Does
valueadded have a
different meaning
when purchasing
cattle? I don�t
think so. I have
purchased bulls from
the Triangle-J Ranch
nearly every year.
They have added
value to our cattle
operation in many
ways. First, and I
believe the most
important, is
production evidence.
Darby�s bulls lead
in production
characteristics that
make money. Live
calves, average
daily gain, and
carcass values lead
the way, returning
value to our ranch.
This is why, when we
need bulls, we are
at Darby�s sale. For
you that have
already bought his
bulls, you know
this, as well as how
well he backs his
bulls.
See you at the
Triangle-J sale.

We purchased our
first Triangle J
Ranch bull in 1997
and have been a
customer ever since.
Running 700 head of
commercial Angus and
Simmental-Angus
cross cows in the
Nebraska Sandhills,
one comes to
appreciate the
foresight and
direction Darby has
incorporated in his
breeding
program�developing
calving ease,
structural
correctness,
fleshing ability,
all within a
moderate frame
package.
The last five years
we have enrolled our
calves in the
�Nebraska Corn Fed
Beef� Program. We
appreciate the
growth, uniformity
and excellent
carcass traits
exhibited by these
Simmental sired
calves.

Triangle J Ranch
does an excellent
job of developing
these young bulls on
a growing ration.
The bulls seem to
maintain their
weight through the
first breeding
season. We use
purebred and lower
percentage bulls and
like the fact that
Darby offers both in
his sale.
We had the fortune
of providing the
Aksarben �Catch A
Calf� calves the
last two years.
Several of the
calves that did well
were sired by
Triangle J bulls.

Since purchasing our
first Triangle J
bull in 1995, we
have continued to
expand the use of
Triangle J bred
bulls in our herd.
Nearly three fourths
of the bulls running
on our ranch have
been purchased in
the last 5 years
since that first
purchase. We are
especially impressed
by the growth and
structural
correctness of the
calves sired by
these Simmental
bulls. The calves
hit the ground
strong and don�t
stop growing.
Another benefit we
have received is
greater uniformity.
Darby has a strong
sense of direction
and discipline in
his breeding
program, combined
with generations of
black on black
matings. As a result
we have made
progress in
producing the
uniform confirmation
black cattle desired
by buyers at the
sale barn.

The Triangle J
service doesn�t stop
at the bull sale.
Darby has assisted
in recruiting buyers
for our cattle over
the years. We also
work closely with
Darby and Annette
within our heifer
development program.
The assistance with
semen selection and
sales has been very
beneficial as we
have watched the
quality and
uniformity of our
replacement heifers
increase under
Darby�s guidance.
We appreciate the
working partnership
we have with the
Line�s Triangle J
Ranch and would
highly recommend
their genetics to
serious cattlemen
across cattle
country.

Hadwiger Cattle
Excel when Marketed
on the Grid
Ron and Matt
Hadwiger have
approximately 400
cows in their cow/
calf operation and
feed 400-500 calves
in their feedlot
north of Amherst,
Nebraska. Within
their herd, they
utilize Black
Simmental and Angus
bulls that are
annually purchased
from Triangle J
Ranch. They
currently run twelve
bulls of both
breeds. This is the
10th year in a row
that they have pur
chased bulls from
Triangle J Ranch.
Ron and Matt
Hadwiger have
utilized Triangle J
Black Simmental and
Angus genetics that
are mated to a black
based crossbred
cowherd in order to
produce black
calves. These calves
are fed at home
until market ready
and
|
|
|
Four
generations
of
Hadwigers
Ty, Matt,
Melvin and
Ron
|
|
then are marketed on
a value based
marketing system.
Last year, the
Hadwigers
participated in the
Triangle J Ranch to
Rail program at
Platte Valley
Feeders in Kearney,
Nebraska. They had
21 steers on test
and the results were
extremely impr
essivein both
feedlot performance
and on the rail. The
cattle graded 87%
Choice. Also, 86.5%
of the cattle yield
graded #1 and #2.
While in the feedlot
for 155 days, this
set of steers
compiled an average
daily gain of 4.2
pounds.
Besides the success
through Triangle J
Ranch to Rail
program, Hadwigers
sold 150 head of
Triangle J bred
steer calves on the
Gelbvieh Grid
through Monfort
Packing in Grand
Island, Nebraska. On
this set of cattle,
98% graded Choice
and produced a
$3.00/cwt in car
cass or $30/ head
premium when mark
eted on this grid
that awarded Choice
grading cattle.
Congratulations to
the Hadwigers on
their success with
Triangle J Genetics!
