Lauren Frick of Twin Creek Ranch

  Lauren Frick from Twin Creek Ranch shared the story of how she and her husband, both with backgrounds in animal science and meat science, developed their ranch in Kansas after taking over a cow herd three years ago. They focus on breeding Scimital cattle for their maternal and carcass qualities. Their interest in this breed is rooted in Lauren's lifelong involvement with it, and the ranch aims to raise cattle that can thrive without intensive management. Lauren also spoke of her experience with livestock judging, which she became involved in during college and has greatly influenced her perspective on cattle breeding. The couple values hands-off ranching and is enthusiastic about bringing their bulls to market. The ranch is preparing for its second annual bull sale scheduled for March 7th, facilitated through an online platform, DV Auctions. The sale will be conducted as a bid-off to provide buyers with flexibility and an opportunity to view the bulls at Waldo, Kansas, while the bidding is held online. The sale will transition into extended bidding at 6 p.m., allowing potential buyers to place bids until there are no new bids for five minutes.
