Ranch to Host Two Cattlemen’s Groups Oct. 20 & Oct. 27

The Ranch will be busy at the end of October. With sale efforts well under way, the Ranch will host the
Oklahoma Cattlemen’s Association’s NE District Fall Gathering Meeting on October 20, followed a week
later by the SW Missouri Cattlemen’s Association on October 27.

“In addition to finding out the issues relevant to cattlemen in your area, it’s a great opportunity to get
an in-person preview of the sale offering, as all the bulls will be at the headquarters along with a large
offering of the females,” said Ratcliff Ranch Manager Heath Kohler.

The OCA Fall Gathering event will begin 5:45 p.m. with an open tour of the ranch and the sale cattle.
The meeting will begin with dinner and entertainment at 6:30 p.m. The OCA staff will advise members
of issues they feel relevant to the cattle industry and the legislative issues they will be addressing in the
2012 legislative session. The “Gathering” will also feature a theft update and prevention tips as well as
an animal health presentation sponsored by Merck.

This is the kick-off to the OCA’s annual membership drive. Ratcliff Ranch encourages OCA members and
non-members to attend this informative and informal meeting. Any new members joining during the
OCA Fall Gatherings will be entered to win an ultimate grand prize courtesy of the OCA.

The following Thursday, Oct. 27, the SW Missouri Cattlemen’s Association will also visit the ranch and
tour the Temple Grandin Blackwell working facility around 4:30 p.m., just outside of Vinita. The group
will return around 5:30 p.m. to the sale facility to view sale cattle and to enjoy a meal at 6:15 p.m.
Both events will feature Heritage Ranch Brand meat and more information about the program will be
presented. Representatives from both the Ranch and Heritage will be available for any questions.

We look forward to seeing some of you in attendance. If you are interested in attending, please R.S.V.P.
