The American Cattlemen Podcast featured a discussion about Lyle Esther Ranch, a third-generation family-owned Angus cattle operation located near Martell, Nebraska. The ranch was named after Dan Burgett's grandparents, Lyle and Esther, and has been expanded by Dan and Patricia Burgett. The podcast featured key team members: Brandon Snyder (ranch manager), Summer Nicholson (assistant manager), and Matt Myers (marketing consultant). They discussed the ranch's upcoming annual bull and female sale on March 28, 2025. The sale will offer a diverse range of cattle, including open heifers (yearling and fall-weaned), bred heifers, cow-calf pairs, age-advantage and yearling bulls. The team emphasized their commitment to quality genetics and functional cattle. Brandon highlighted their focus on selecting animals with excellent structure, soundness, feet quality, and docility. Matt discussed the various sire groups, including bulls from lineages like Jameson, Kenealy, Ball of Fire, and Craftsman. Their breeding philosophy centers on creating cattle that will perform well in commercial operations. They are meticulous about selection, with Dan Burgett's approach being to err on the side of caution and remove any animals that might potentially cause issues for buyers. The sale will be broadcast live on CCI Live, with cattle available for viewing before the event. They offer customer-friendly services like free trucking, a $100 credit for day-of-sale pickup, and bulk buying credits. Potential buyers can contact Brandon Snyder for more information or to arrange a personal walkthrough of the cattle. The ranch's website also provides detailed catalog information. The podcast underscored Lyle Esther Ranch's dedication to producing high-quality Angus genetics that can help commercial producers improve their herds.
