Beefmaster Breeders
Isa Beefmasters
Isa Beefmasters is the 4th generation of the Lasater family developing high-performance Beefmaster genetics in West Texas near San Angelo. The Beefmaster breed was founded by company president Lorenzo Lasater’s grandfather in 1937. Beefmasters are a composite breed made up of roughly one-half Bos Taurus (Hereford and Shorthorn) and one-half Bos Indicus (Nelore from Brazil, Gir and Guzerat from India). Eighty-plus years of intense, yet balanced selection for economically important traits has created a homozygous beef breed with the explosive growth potential of a hybrid. The company specializes in high-performance Beefmaster genetics for grass-based beef cattle producers. We sell 200 bulls annually, with a 150 head auction the first Saturday each October (2021 marks our 60th sale!) and 50 bulls private treaty each spring. Additionally, we offer select groups of females throughout the year as well as semen and embryos from the L Bar herd. The L Bar brand was first registered in South Texas in 1890.

Brahman Breeders
Circle F Farms
Circle F Farms is located in the Turpentine Capitol of the world, also known as, Baxley Georgia. Woody Folsom, along with his wife Tamela, and their two kids Tanner and Anna Kate started Circle F Farms in 2001. A passion for Woody soon turned into a 3,300 acre, 1,200 head cattle farm. With Woody’s interests laying in Registered Gray Brahman cattle, he focused his attention on building that herd with some of the best genetics in the country. Over 700 head of Brahman females are now what cover the fields at Circle F, all with elite bloodlines like those of V8 Ranch & J.D. Hudgins, Inc. We are proud to say that we have also expanded our offering to include some of our own F1 genetics, with the influence of Hereford and Angus bulls from some of the best ranches across the country. Woody loves to say, “If you’re going to do something, do it all the way and as best you can” and he has applied that to all of his endeavors on the farm, day in and day out. Woody has always been self- driven and this determination helped him turn an after school job into the Woody Folsom Auto Dealerships that consist of 8 car dealerships, Woody Folsom Trailers and Feed, Circle F Meats, and Circle F Processing LLC. Woody has taken the life lessons he learned at a young age on the farm and implemented them in all facets of life. With the outstanding team that we have at Circle F Farms, we know that the future is bright and we look forward to working with cattlemen from all across the Country for years to come.

Smith Farms
Smith Farms is owned and operated by Phil Smith & family located in Roxton, Tx. We started as a commercial cow calf operation in 1986 and have since developed a registered Brangus herd as well. We shifted our main focus from commercial cattle to our registered herd due to the fact that land was getting more difficult to acquire and we were able to profit more off of our registered herd.
Our breeding program consists of Brangus cattle with proven genetics and we aim to produce cattle to improve your herd. Qualities like soundness, longevity, ease of handling, maternal instincts, efficiency and structural integrity are of uppermost importance to us.
We take pride in our program and the way that we wean and develop our cattle. We have learned that by easing our pairs into the weaning process and not abruptly separating the calves from the cows we have had far better results. They are seasonally developed on wheat pasture and bermuda grass, with access to a soybean meal and salt supplement at all times. This allows cattle to mature slowly and develop bone and good structure with ease.
We thank you and we hope that we can be of service in meeting your needs to enhance your cattle operation.

Marcos Borges is the first Brazilian to open a cattle ranch in Mexico. Mexico's market is highly competitive and difficult to enter. Along with another well-known cattleman, Rubens de Carvalho, they were the first Brazilians to participate in livestock shows in the United States. Borges and Carvalho, also, introduced Texas A&M University to Nelore cattle. Today, Texas A&M has one of the most respected Nelore herds in the U.S. Marcos represented OB Ranch Company, which was started by Uberaba visionaries, Ovidio and Paulo Brito. During its 23 years in the U.S. market, the OB Ranch has demonstrated the potential of the Nelore and Red Brangus breeds, and it has demystified the erroneous idea that beef from Zebu breeds is not comparable to those of European breeds. Borges's research, in cooperation with Texas Connection and Texas A&M, has proved that the carcass quality of some Nelore lineages is actually superior to the meat of the average Angus animal, which is considered to be the best beef in the United States.
Borges has served the International Red Brangus Breeders Association (IRBBA) Board of Directors since 1997. In 2004, he took over as president of the IRRBA. He, also, served as a director for the International Brangus Breeders Association and as vice president for the Texas Brangus Breeders Association.
Contributions & Accomplishments:
1998 - Borges was awarded the International Brangus Breeder International Merit Award.
2003 - Borges was awarded the Brazilian Association of Zebu Breeders International Merit Award during Expozebu, the worlds largest Zebu Livestock Show.
2004 - Borges was awarded the IRBBA Breeder & Member of the Year awards.
2008 – 2017 - Borges served as a founder of the Federation of International Brangus Associations.
2014 - International Brangus Merit – World Brangus Congress 2014 - Asociación de Criadores del estado de Yucatan.
2017 - Borges was awarded the IRBBA Breeder of the Year.

Wangus Breeders
Circle A Ranch
Circle A was founded in 1991 by the Dave Gust family, and for more than 20 years the name Circle A was associated with high quality Angus genetics. At Circle A we continue to look for new opportunities to improve to go above and beyond the industry standard for quality beef and increase the percentage of Prime in our cattle that we feed out. Over a decade ago, we started implementing Wagyu genetics into our best female Angus cows. As a result, we have established a new breed of cattle that is genetically superior to either Angus or Waygu by themselves. Our Wangus cattle continue to grade 70-85% Prime and receive an extra $300 per head in premiums compared to their Angus counterparts.
