Alabama Connection Sale 2025

IN THEIR OWN WORDS I have known Delmo Payne for close to forty-five years. During those years, he has been a confidante, a mentor, but most of all, my friend. We have weathered many seasons together. He helped both Arlin and me to carry on and persevere in the cattle business when Howard passed away. Without his guidance and advice at that time, there probably wouldn’t be a Tinney Farms today. Because of his integrity and his knowledge of this breed, he will influence and impact generations of breeders to come.

He and “HT” were the best of friends. They shared laughter and good times and the stories they could tell…They got bigger and taller with each telling! Delmo, I can’t possibly tell you what you meant to him. Your “little buddy” thought the world of you. I will be forever grateful to you for that. So here’s to you Delmo…May the Lord bless you and keep you. Job well done! It is an honor to call you my friend.

I bought my first Grandview female over 30 years ago and never stopped. Not only can you count on the cattle to perform, but also the people. Grandview has been a leading ranch in genetics, sales, show ring and promotion.

We have had great success with Grandview Farms’ genetics. We love our Grandview Little Annie and Grandview 828 influenced animals. We are so appreciative of the Payne family’s commitment and support of the Santa Gertrudis breed and genetic improvement.

Delmo, Brent and the entire Grandview Farms family represent high quality and tremendous character.
