Lee, Derek Drury, Darel Nissen and Damien Gallagher. They would begin the West Central Iowa Club Calf Producers Group with an annual sale Labor Day Weekend. Farming with his Parents Randy and Cindy was pivotal to helping him grow his cow herd and he says he wouldn't be where he is today without them. There is no question Adam had a talent for finding high quality cattle and a partnership with Kirk Roecker and Kirk Stierwalt would develop. Kirk and Adam would search the country for the top end show cattle and haul them to Stierwalt's in the fall and sell them. Adam says his time in Oklahoma helping Kirk Stierwalt and learning from him was incredible. The cattle were also performing in the show ring with highlight wins for Josh Elder at the Iowa State Fair and Louisville. Brian Reid’s Steer Buckeye won the Colorado State Fair in 2004. There was another big winner not long after that for the Bridwell family in Indiana at State Fair and Louisville, her donor name was Kelly. If there is one thing that is very evident is the people and the relationships Adam has built through this time in his life plays a big part on his success today. Cow sale time! After a couple private treaty sales at the farm, it was time to start the Pryority One Bred Female Sale. Craig Reiter from Ohio helped Adam start and manage this sale which after one year partnered with old friend Ryan Went to be one of the top bred heifer sales in the country. They had the sale at the Dunlap Livestock annually in January. Many relationships were developed over
the years of having this sale including Nick Reimann. Nick would come every year and buy something and that developed into Adam and Nick Purchasing Donor females together and a great friendship. The cow sale would evolve over the years to The Combined Forces Sale, which if everything goes as planned Adam will be a part of again. On November 26, 2005 Adam would Marry the love of his life Melanie. Together, five kids Wyatt, Layne, Brody, Jax and Katy would change the dynamics of things. The days of running all over the country would be limited with a big family, but Adam was ready. The kids have been very active in sports along with showing which makes for a crazy schedule. The Pryor Family has had their share of success in the ring with highlights of 4th Overall Breeding Heifer Iowa State Fair for Wyatt. Jax won Champion Market Heifer and Brody
