The 36th Annual R.A. Brown Ranch Sale was indeed an event to behold. A record crowd was on hand for the best sale the Brown Family has ever hosted. Buyers were very complimentary of the cattle including first time buyer Dale Moore from Gage, OK. The buyers also included long time customers of the Browns like Bob Samuel of Madisonville, TX who has purchased bulls in all 36 sales and Al Wright from DeQueen, AR in the last 35 sales. The quality was impressive throughout, and there were bulls selling in everyone's price range with 79 bulls going from the $1500 - $2750 range.   A highlight of the day was a fundraiser for the West Texas Rehab Center where the Brown Family donated all the proceeds from the sale of their Quarter Horse Stallion, Blue Hancock Eddie. Chris Scharbauer from Amarillo, TX purchased the stallion for  $10,000. Scharbauer also bought 8 Angus bulls including 2 of the high selling lots. Silver Spur Ranch was the volume buyer of the day with 32 head including the high selling Red Angus bull. Safari Cattle Co. was the volume female buyer with 20 head. Donald Paddack was another volume buyer who has now purchased 100 bulls through the Brown's satisfaction guaranteed "Sight Unseen" buying service. Other volume buyers included R.E. Samuel, Scaling V Ranch, Balderas Ranch, Sansom Cattle Co and Kimberlin Ranch. Angus, Red Angus, SimAngus & Hotlander cattle were sold to 172 buyers from 16 states, Mexico and Brazil.
