First and foremost, THANK YOU. An operation like this doesn’t run on an individual—it survives and thrives on a team.
To my wife, Emily: Thank you for keeping our family running, excelling at your career, and keeping the wheels on the bus here at Schaeffer Show Cattle. You keep us all grounded, from the cattle to our two sons, Braylen and Colyer.
To my parents, Paul and Tracy: Thank you for pushing boundaries, opening doors, and giving me the opportunities to build what has become the backbone of this operation.
To the Schaeffer Show Cattle Team: Thank you to Ian, Burk, Fulton, Mackenzie, Mika, Quinton, and everyone who keeps the show team, the cow herd, and the farm maintenance running. We are blessed to have the absolute best team in the business. Thank you for making this inaugural event special!
To our customers, partners, and supporters: Your drive to win, passion for this industry, and belief in our program are the reason for our success. Thank you for believing in the Schaeffer Show Cattle team over the last 19 years.
When deciding to go live to showcase our genetics, stock, and brand, I knew we had to bring our absolute best—and boy, did we pick a year to go wild! This set is FUN!
We have been fortunate to produce countless champions and proven donors over the last 19 years, but I can whole-heartedly say there has never been a set on this farm this good. It is hands-down the most unique and elite offering we have ever put forward. We have always stayed focused on the cow power to give our customers a safety net—proven predictability that offers a clear path to success both in the show ring and in the pasture. Maybe that’s part of the reason we decided to go live this year. These cattle are more than just youth projects; they are pathways to future livelihoods, marketing opportunities, and genetic generators long after the banner is hung.
Nate Tice and I sat down years ago as teenagers with a shared vision, passion, and drive. I don’t think either of us imagined it would grow into this, but there is no better way to celebrate a little vision, dream, and daily grind than with one heck of a bash at our first-ever LIVE EVENT.
We invite everyone to visit the farm on or before September 12th to view this special offering and join our show family. Thank you to everyone who stops by to look, help, bid, and believe in our program. From all of us at Schaeffer Show Cattle and Schaeffer-Tice, THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. It means more than you know.
