NOTE: the 2024 sale is in the books. This information left up for reference only.
Downey Ranch offers heart-of-the-herd bred heifers representing years of deliberate breeding and strict culling. The dams of these heifers have proven themselves year after year on some of the toughest range found in the Flint Hills. They're fenceline weaned as calves and turned right back out onto pasture to graze, NOT developed in a lot. They're grown slowly and in conditions they'll find as production cows, meaning they're out foraging for a living. The only exception is about 2 months ahead of breeding season when we're synchronizing them for AI. This means they thrive on range, know how to graze for a living, and are ready to go to work.

Calve-out with our Live Calf Guarantee
On sale day, you have the option to purchase calve-out service with a live calf guarantee. What does that mean? We keep & feed your heifers from sale time through calving. As the calving season approaches, we bring the heifers close to HQs and begin to check them around the clock, come rain, sleet or even snow (to quote the USPS!). We have calves literally thousands of heifers over the years, and while we hope to never have problems, we're there to step in should the ladies need a helping hand. Should the unthinkable happen and we lose a calf, we will offer you a like replacement. You purchase 10 heifers with calve out and we GUARANTEE you get 10 pairs! How's that for a deal?
