"We love your outside-the-box way of thinking. Thanks for challenging our traditional ways of thinking."

Robert Kayser - Wyoming

     
"It was a real eye-opener when we noticed that all the bulls purchased from Pharo Cattle Company stayed in much better condition than the bulls we purchased elsewhere."

R.J. Jolly - Colorado

"I was thrilled with the bull we purchased last year, sight-unseen. I hope to pick up some more that are just as good this year."

Gail Nason - Nebraska

"I went back to look at your Colorado Hobo bull several times. I couldn’t believe his fleshing ability. I’m going to A.I. all of our heifers to him."

Jeff Cornell – New Mexico
"Pharo Cattle Company is one of only two seedstock operations we have seen in North America with philosophies similar to ours in Australia. Everyone else seems to be over feeding and pampering their cattle."

Alf Collins, Jr. - Australia

"Your forage testing program is a great way to produce good range bulls."

Carl Huckfeldt – South Dakota
"Your bulls finished the breeding season in much better condition than the bulls we purchased at other sales."

Dr. Jim Baker - Wyoming

"I enjoyed reading through your sale catalog. It entertains, as well as describes your cattle breeding philosophies."

Rick Bourdon - Colorado
"We are very interested in feeding calves sired by Pharo Cattle Company bulls. Due to the selection placed on these cattle for fleshing ability and depth of body, we have found they have superior gain and feed efficiencies. In addition, these English cross calves are in the top 10% of all the cattle we feed for quality grade."

Gary Teague - Colorado

"Thanks for the conservative, Christian outlook. Our country is in trouble but a few faithful can make a difference."

Niles Niermeir – Kansas
"A couple of chaps from Australia visited Florida recently. They spoke very highly of you, your family and your operation. They had three issues of your newsletter, which they allowed me to copy. What a breath of fresh air."

Bob Crane - Florida

"We have been looking for a source for some forage-tested bulls for several years. No one else seems to be interested in producing them."

Tanya Scott -- Wyoming
"At first I found most of the stuff in your newsletter hard to swallow. I guess the truth hurts. But after going through a very dry summer and one of the coldest winters we’ve ever had, my outlook has changed. Thanks for opening my eyes."

Rodney Davis -- Mississippi

"Cows that were sired by Pharo Composite bulls are smaller than most of our other cows, yet they are weaning calves that are consistently 30 to 50 pounds heavier than our other calves."

Virgil Drescher -- Colorado

"I really enjoy your newsletter. It’s always good to hear from folks who understand that form follows function."

Jim Gosey -- Nebraska

"At most bull sales we reduce the number of bulls we are interested in after looking through them. After looking through your bulls, though, we added several new ones to our list."

Paul Zion -- Colorado

"I may not agree with everything you say, but I do agree with your bull philosophy. I have purchased bulls that were really tall, thinking when they did fill out they would really be something. Guess what? They never do fill out. Now we look for those thick, easy-keeping bulls."

Patsy Duncan -- Texas

"I really enjoy receiving your newsletter. It provides a nice touch of reality and logic amidst the usual propaganda and herd mentality that is being spread by most of the other beef industry publications."

Steve Keller -- Colorado

"Many of your ideas and thoughts have made me money with very little cost on my part, just a different way of thinking."

Ed Heffel -- Kansas

"I really enjoy reading your newsletter. You relate a lot of creative and out-of-the-rut information that I am sure draws out the skeptics."

Doug Reynolds -- Wyoming

"Congratulations on a fine sale. Many progressive ranchers are beginning to understand the true value of ranch raised bulls that are ready for work."

Bill Blaik -- Oklahoma

"Excellent newsletter. It is read cover to cover by everyone at the Beef Improvement Organization. Very easy to read and full of useful information."

Tim Lambert -- Canada

"I sincerely believe in the philosophies of the Pharo family. Old-timer and young beginner, alike, would do well to consider the advice offered in their newsletter."

Joe Frazier -- Nebraska

"There is nothing like a forage test to separate the men from the boys. Grain can do a marvelous job of sprucing up some very mediocre bulls."

Dylan Biggs -- Canada

"We used bulls from Pharo Cattle Company because their philosophy is harmonious with nature and sensitive to the ecosystem."

Reeves Brown -- Colorado

"Thanks for the information provided in your newsletter, and more importantly for your Christian witness."

Loren Berger -- Nebraska

"You said your bulls could maintain or gain weight during their first breeding season, and they did. Bulls that we purchased elsewhere could never do this. That’s why we keep coming back to your sale."

Larry Gilstrap -- Colorado

"I thoroughly enjoy your newsletters. I use them as teaching references."

Robert Reedy -- Arkansas

"After using your Tarentaise bulls for several years, I can really see a big improvement in udder quality."

Lynn Beek – Colorado

"Pharo Cattle Company understands that profit, not production, is the key to long-term success. I know of only one or two other seedstock producers that can truly understand this vital fact."

Scott Johnson -- Colorado

"The information in your newsletter is great. I believe your philosophies are applicable for any business."

Louis Overmiller -- Kansas

"Your concepts about beef production are a breath of fresh air for many of us."

Harlan Ritchie -- Michigan

"Your philosophies are the same as ours. It is great to see the same principles applied to a seedstock herd, even if it is on the other side of the world."

Matt Stanford -- Australia

"Thank you for your newsletter. I appreciate your no-nonsense approach to raising cattle, and your bold witness for Christ."

Wendell Kruger -- Washington

"I know you must be a smart fellow since I agree with just about everything of yours that I have read."

Walt Davis -- Oklahoma

"This is the first set of yearling bulls that actually weighed more in the fall than they did when I purchased them."

Bernie Strawder -- Nebraska

"The best calving season we’ve ever had, and the calves look great."

Danny Hanson -- Wyoming

"Everyday at the bank I hear people complain about how bad things are and then they continue doing the same things they’ve always done. It’s been very gratifying to watch and listen as you continue to bend the constraints of conventional thought. I’ve been able to see your philosophies work for other people, as well."

Brett Legg -- Colorado

"Pharo Cattle Company is one of very few seedstock producers who expose their cowherd to the challenges endured by a commercial cowherd."

Dylan Biggs -- Canada

"Your sale catalog should be required reading for every cow/calf producer."

Lee Hawes -- Kansas

"We really appreciate the disposition of your bulls. This is a very important, but often overlooked trait."

John Palmer -- Colorado

"We were quite impressed with the libido displayed by your bulls."

Dr. Jim Baker -- Wyoming

"I always enjoy reading your newsletters, even though I don’t agree with everything."

Roy Robertson -- Colorado

"Thanks for the refreshing answers. I have been looking a long time for someone who shared similar ideas and philosophies."

Virgil Trujillo – New Mexico

"Doability is an often overlooked trait that Pharo Cattle Company is diligently striving for. Without it ranches will continue to go broke."

Stuart Shirley -- Montana

"We really appreciate the range readiness and the type of bulls offered in your sale."

Barbara Jolly -- Colorado

" My husband and I both love your newsletter. We get so many cattle papers, magazines and letters, but yours is the only one we read from cover to cover and enjoy so much."

Linda Venneman -- Texas

"The calves sired by your composite bull, Buckaroo, are the stoutest and thickest calves on the ranch."

Scott James -- Wyoming

Best newsletter in the country. Better than any magazine I receive."

Rod Gray -- Oklahoma

"I wanted to express my appreciation to you for helping me buy my bulls sight-unseen at your bull sale. I like them all."

Wade Berlier -- Kansas

"By using low birth weight Composite bulls on our heifers, we have decreased calving difficulties and death loss while still producing calves that grow with the rest of the herd."

Don Palmer -- Colorado

"Your ideas for raising low-input beef, the way God intended, have been refreshing, as well as different from everything else I have been taught."

Gregg Raben -- Nebraska

"Your program makes the most sense of anybody in the seedstock business. When I mentioned what you’re doing to the guy I had been buying bulls from, I realized that he is so firmly locked in the old ways of doing things that he will probably never see the wisdom of what you are doing."

Steve Oswald -- Colorado

"It's refreshing to know there is a seedstock producer who realizes that cows still eat grass. May you be blessed for your work for the Lord and for the cowman."

Max Mattingly -- Kansas

"Your newsletter is the only thing I read from cover to cover at least two times."

Mark Overmiller -- Kansas

"I have been receiving your newsletter for some time now and I truly enjoy reading about your philosophies and management style. Your newsletter keeps reminding me to do what I know I should have been doing all along. Enclosed is a check to help with the cost of printing and postage."

Harold Karch – North Dakota

"In recent years we have had trouble finding cattle that can produce without inputs on our native range. You are making more sense than most people in the beef industry."

Ellen Pfister -- Montana

"I’ve been to a lot of bull sales and I’ve never seen a set of bulls with as much natural thickness as the ones in your sale. We’re not going to buy our bulls anywhere else."

Darrin Drake -- Tennessee

"I really enjoy your newsletter. You make a lot of sense. Your spiritual devotions are just an added bonus."

Jason Wock – North Dakota

"We had one of your Composite bulls on our Grazing Association this past summer. Although he was on our worst pasture, he appeared to gain weight and was in better condition than any of our other 75 bulls -- and he was only a yearling! When we gathered the bulls in the fall that bull bucked and ran circles around the other bulls as they lethargically plodded along. I was very impressed!"

Vondell Koontz -- Colorado

"Your newsletter is one of the most enjoyable pieces of mail I receive."

Kenneth Pruitt – Virginia

"The PCC Reno bull we purchased in your 2000 bull sale is everything you claim your bulls are. He is a thick, easy-fleshing bull with an absolutely great disposition. My wife/hired hand gave Reno a gold star after calving last year’s heifers. Finally we own a genuine calving ease bull. We intend to keep every heifer this bull produces."

Dale Kostur -- Wyoming

"Colorado Hobo is the thickest Red Angus Bull I've ever seen - and in all the right proportions. He also has an absolutely great disposition."

Michael Davis - New Mexico

"It really disturbs me to hear prominent seedstock producers explain that their exorbitant input costs are justified by high weaning weights. They never consider that the genetics they’re providing are a result of a totally artificial environment."

Kenton Peart -- Australia

"This is the first bull sale I’ve worked as a ring man that I didn’t have to get up on the fence to get away from a bull."

Will Adolf - Colorado

"I’m convinced I can grow Pharo type cattle on feed my pocket book can handle."

Todd Huser—Kansas

"Colorado Hobo sons stand out like a fly on a white wall. They are so distinct and different it’s not hard to pick them out of a herd. I’ve seen very few I could not recommend to my clients."

Gearld Fry — Arkansas

"A feed test involves putting bulls in a no-stress environment, feeding them all the feed they can eat, and giving a prize to the bull that can eat the most."

Rod Heitschmidt -- Montana

"Aside from glossy, four-color brochures, the most effective marketing strategy used by seedstock producers is fat. Grain feeding is renown for its ability to cover up bad looking cattle."

Kenton Peart -- Australia

"The three yearling bulls I purchased from you performed very well. I placed two 4-frame yearling bulls in a pasture with 50 5 to 6 frame cows, and came out with a 97% conception rate. It’s still hard to convince myself that I can do that but I'm becoming a strong believer since this is the second year I've pulled this stunt. What really surprised me, though, was the quality of steer and heifer calves I got out of the bulls I purchased from you two years ago."

Todd Huser — Kansas

“I do have one problem with your bulls.   I didn’t buy enough of them.”

Mark Bowman -- Nebraska

"The Anchor son we purchased at your sale is the only yearly bull we have turned out that actually gained weight during the breeding season."

Teddy Gentry - Alabama
