McKenzie Sales Info March 10, 2026

Our 20th Annual McKenzie Bull Sale will be Tuesday, March 10, 2026.

What a wild ride it has been for the cattle industry in 2025! Record prices for cattle, and prices are expected to hold strong for a while longer. As a country we are producing more high-quality beef than ever before, and the demand remains strong. This spring much of the Southwest had some relief from the drought, but there is no doubt that many continue to struggle with drought conditions. Many herds were reduced to deal with the drought and are hesitant about rebuilding. With a smaller cow herd, now is your time to invest in quality genetics to improve your herd as you start expanding. We have found through feeding our own commercial calves that there is a reward for producing efficient, high marbling beef. As the calf market is predicted to have strong prices, especially for the higher quality
beef, we believe that an investment in genetics will definitely pay.

Best wishes and thank you,

Sarah and the MLL Team

Delivery options: 

We think that you will want to get your bulls to your ranch as soon as possible and encourage buyers to bring a trailer with them to the sale.  However, if you need to arrange transportation of bulls please contact Sarah or Houston; we will work out delivery options for you.  We offer free delivery for purchase over $12,000 within 200 miles of the ranch. If in New Mexico and want delivery we can arrange for bulls to be picked up at the Palma Ranch location.

PAYMENT OPTIONS

Settlement for purchases must be made on sale day, prior to load out.

Loading:

 All bulls will be paid for before loading unless other arrangements are made.  Please see the cashier to settle up prior to loading your bull; you will need your invoice/loading ticket when picking up your bull(s).  Please listen to general announcements indicating location of loading and personnel responsible for loading.  Please help us and double check the ear tag and lot number to ensure that you are getting the bull you purchased.

Guarantee:

We guarantee that all animals in the sale are fertile to the best of ourknowledge. If a bull is injured during normal activities in the first breeding season (90 days) making them functionally infertile, we will offera suitable replacement if available. If not available, we will offer you acredit equal to the bull’s purchase price minus the salvage value receivedfor that bull. We ask that you contact us prior to the disposal of the animal. We cannot offer a guarantee on a death of an animal or other injuries resulting from handling.

 

Please remember:

It is important to consider that these are young bulls; they will need to be taken care of to ensure that they continue to grow out good and be able to serve your herd.  It is essential that a young bull not get too thin and are turned out at a stocking ratio of 15 cows/1 bull.

I am very happy with the performance of our MLL sired cattle in the feedlot.

They gained over 4lbs/day and graded 96% choice or better.
