It comes with great honor and privilege to welcome you back to the 3rd Annual, From the Ground up Sale. What a year to be in the cattle business with livestock market leading the charts! As you take time to go through this book, we feel like we have dug extremely deep with some of our most profitable donor cows being offered. Along with these donor cows comes a stellar set of open females that are backed by the proven cow families which are the backbone of our operation. The bred cattle may be small in numbers, but off the charts with depth of quality. Every female offered in this book has the ability to go out and become the next cornerstone of your operation.
This year we would like to welcome our good friend Kevin Rose and family of Rosewood Cattle Company alongside Bramlet Simmentals. Kevin is no stranger to the cattle business and has the same statute of limitations when it comes to producing cattle from the ground up.
We would like to take this time to thank our future and past customers. In just the past three years the amount of customer success coming from this very sale has been so humbling. We love to see the fruits of our operation go out and be so successful across the nation.
We invite you and your entire family to Southern Illinois the weekend of October 21st. Come enjoy an evening of quality cattle viewing, hospitality, and fellowship.

DAF DAKOTA D13
LLSF Pays To Believe ZU194
LLSF Urababydoll U194
As breeders we set our sights to produce cattle that are total outliers which doesn’t happen as often as we would like. Finding a donor that is consistent no matter which sire of choice has made it an even bigger challenge. But I must give it to this staple Donor “D13”. Ole girl just doesn’t miss. Year after year, the Dakota females surface to the top and are in very high demand -topping sales, collecting banners, and backdrop stops. Tim Schaffer said it best, “Her effortless ability to design cattle so flawless in their build, so square and true in their design, yet so big footed and featured. Then for this breed to tie in good looks, with a perfect skeleton build is a hard and rare combination to put together.” We could continue on and on about her ability, instead let’s check out her highlights to date:
• 2023 Indiana State Fair Top 5 Female
• 2021 Reserve Champion Female at Jr. Nationals
• Supreme Female at KILE
• Top 5 Female at South Dakota State Fair
• Progeny Average – $25,000+ in sales year to date
• Average15 per flush. D13 is housed at Hoosier Embryo in Huntingburg, IN; where she has been managed for her Reproductive Success. She is open and ready to flush. Availability is yours for a flush as soon as 10-3123. Contact Kellen Kemme (217-994-2343) or any of the Bramlet team with any questions.
As we get into the daughters of D13 and the ability of that female and what she has done throughout the years, you will see 5 daughters on the next several pages that are simply stunning.
L340 & L341 – The youngsters of the group- these Copacetic baldy sisters continue to develop with the right things as they mature. We appreciate their structural balance and ability to get out and go. Both females are extremely good footed and jointed. We value the length, balance, and overall look these sisters possess.
DAKOTA L308
A 24 Karat Half Blood Female- a heifer that just draws you in. She is stout, she is powerful, she’s got a wicked look out of that front 1/3. She gets around and goes and sets so true there at the ground. A very complete, easy to look at female.
DAKOTA L316
This Baldy female is one that just hits you awfully hard, maybe not so hard on picture day compared to what she looks like on the daily in the barn. This is the one, we like to consider the “mini- donor cow”, the one that is efficient, huge ribbed, and powerful. Not to take away from her neatness and sleek look in her lines with that overall appeal. She has prosperity built within just as her mother. She is going to be able to go out and produce elite cattle year after year. We really think a lot of this one.
L304 is so striking in her overall appearance. She is one that can flat get out and go. This is one that you just appreciate her overall look and balance in her skeleton. This one also will have many big days ahead of her. Full sib to the Werning and Hoppa family that dominated the ring. **When you look at this group of females, there is no doubt in my mind that these are very special creatures. Opportunities are endless with D13. These females are proof in the making of what this cow has done and will continue to do.
Man! A cow that has ABSOLUTELY DONE IT, year over year. One that we just can’t say enough good things about when it comes to producing good, functional cattle that can just go out and get the job done. A female that is so true and tried in her structural correctness. We have always tried to produce cattle that start at the ground, and we know this female alone does it. One of her best highlights is our reigning High Seller, Emmy G930, that went to Bohrson’s in Canada. She most recently sold half interest for $110,000. This female is just crazy awesome. Average 10 per flush. D622 is housed at Hoosier Embryo in Huntingburg, Indiana where she has been successfully managed in reproductive services. Availability is yours for a flush as soon as 10-31-23. Contact Kellen Kemme (217-994-2343) or any of the Bramlet team with any questions.
Loose structure, huge centered, awesome structure. A female that is backed by one of the hottest cow families of the breed right now; the Emmy daughter, G930 which we wrote about earlier being the $220,000 female that sold from Bohrson out of Canada. We feel that this female shares the same attributes of her mother. When she starts there from the ground, she is big footed, true throughout her lines, radiant in her overall design. This is one that we feel that is a future breeding piece or donor down the road.

When we talk about skeleton design and elegance, these two Encore sisters come to mind. I feel as these sisters have as much upside as any of the pair of sisters in the sale. Two ultra cool, ultra feminine, awesome built females that have a bright future ahead of them. They are backed by the awesome EMMY cow family. Two females that you will go out and have FUN with.

Red cattle are hot and have been hot for the past few years. We feel as if this red headed donor has been putting her stamp on her progeny no matter what mating we have thrown at this female. She has flat got it done. She has had some highlights as well to say the least…. She had some high selling lots in our first sale averaging over $10,000/ head to some great families that were successful with another high seller in Wisconsin. This female is a no brainer, bred up to a Pay Roll for a red baldy calf early January. Averaging 8 eggs per flush.

This ultra cool baldy female hits you hard. She can give you one heck of a look; you love the front 1/3. You admire how sleek, how neat, and how high tied she is. This is one that has tremendous rib shape and puts the power to her step as she shows us all the great pieces she has put together. Don’t let the extra white fool you. This female is one that will get out and go, show and be a true breeding piece when you get her home. One Knock out kind of a female.

BRAMLETS SENSATION L324
324 and 329 – Full Sisters/ Two Red Heads To boot- We know these two females have a ton of advantage. They’re maternal siblings to the 2023 Percentage Red Angus Female that Trevor Hale campaigned extremely well in OKC. Two females that are dual registered that will carry papers on the Red Angus and Simmental side. With Red Angus Junior Nationals hosted in Louisville, Ky this next year; these two will look awful good on those shavings. These females offer structural soundness as this cow family has purple running through their veins. The elegance, the flatness in their joints of the Red Angus breed, the wild look as they get powered up from the ground with the Simmental Breed adding to is just a few attributes we admire with these two offerings. Buy with Confidence!
Boy if you like them big and stout, here is one that we feel like has many desired traits. When you analyze this female, you must love the qualities she brings. Her foot size, her bone, the power she carries, and yet so refined in her skeletal design. We have fell in love with this star headed female that has a neck on her like a giraffe. She can just flat-out ground pound as she goes. She is backed by the Immortal Allie Cow Family. A DON’T MISS FEMALE.

Wild featured 24 Karat female leading back to the 397 E that we sold this spring for $20,000 to Sievers Show Cattle of Dixon, Iowa. Awesome, Awesome female. She is one that you must appreciate from the ground. Admire the foot, the bone, the mass of hair coat that this female has to offer. She has so many WOW factors that we all look for. We feel that this female is a big contender as a big one. Awesome Female! Awesome Lines! Awesome Cow Family! Hard to Miss!

These Copacetic cattle are proving to have the overall build, design, structure, and look to get the job done. Sometimes they can be a little later maturing but that works to their advantage come next summer. Those statements are all accurate with Alley L221 and if she continues to do the positive things she has in the 2 weeks leading up to picture time, you won’t recognize this female by sale day. Her flush sister was a high seller and sale day favorite at the Foundation Female sale for the Webel family as I’m sure this one will be on October 21st. A purebred baldie female that’s sleek necked, big legged, and three dimensional....you won’t want to miss out on Alley L221.

If Adlee was a bit older, this female would not be offered for sale. She showed her several times this summer as a calf but I’m not sure a 7 year old will be ready for a senior yearling by next summer so we decided to offer her for your appraisal on October 21st. K145 is a stout featured, bold ribbed, soft legged individual that is built “From the Ground Up”. Good in her joints and flexible on the move, this female is built for the long haul. With her added power, shape, and substance we truly believe that this female will not only be successful in the showring but has an even brighter future in production. With potent cow families such as Built to Love, Alley, 8543U, and Joy all packed into one pedigree....profitability and predictability are a certainty with Alley K145.

This BALDY- BOMBSHELL- HUGE CENTERED FEMALE- COW Power written all over her! She is a 1/2 sib to the Schaeffer Stud “Limitless”. We appreciate the loose structure this female has to offer as well as her explosive center body appeal. Lots to admire with this gal as she comes from a great cow family.
Here’s a baldie purebred female that will certainly catch your eye. If you like cattle with a shot more growth and performance without sacrificing dimension and balance, be sure to look into K960. Shown several times by our 7 year old this summer, her sweetheart disposition is icing on the cake. With K960’s added size and maturity, I would feel comfortable breeding her up early for fall if a person so desired. The options are endless with this striking female.
A truly unique female that blends the time tested cow families of Proven Queen 419, Silveiras Saras Dream, SCC Phyllis, and Champion Hill Georgina. Sired by the popular STAG Good Times 201 ET that sired numerous Champions throughout the 2023 Show Season. Her Grand dam Rosewood Georgina 290Z is a Full sister to Buchanan’s Georgina R266 that produced the past 2022 Royal Winter Fair SUPREME CHAMPION in Toronto, Canada Buchanan’s Bruno C656 for Rolling Meadows Cattle and Indian River Cattle Co.

Our Angus Division is small but boy, the quality is Top Notch. 309 L is one sappy bellied beast with tons of structural balance and symmetry. When asked to be put in motion, she offers a killer look from the side. 309L traces back to some of the BEST ELITE Angus genetics for generations. Very special female that has much upside potential as any Angus Female we have offered to date.
A trio of Flushmates to the 2023 ILLINOIS STATE FAIR JUNIOR SHOW GRAND CHAMPION
RED ANGUS female for Campbell Belcher. Sired by 4MC KING OF THE COWBOYS 706 backed by our foundation donor TC LOLA 10B that claimed numerous banners during her show career including the Reserve Supreme Champion 2015 World Beef Expo and 2016 Grand Champion Red Angus Female at the National Western Stock Show Junior Show. Other maternal sisters to these littermates include the 2019 Champion Bred & Owned Red Angus Female NAILE for Paige Van Dyke along with Rosewood Lola 160J the 2022 ILLINOIS STATE FAIR JUNIOR SHOW Reserve Land of Lincoln Champion for Clay Miller. A pedigree with proven success backed by a cow family that has the “extras” it takes to get you to the backdrop. 301L offers a no holes profile with her balance and extra bone and substance she’s one to get you to the next Level. 312L has the presence to make you take notice and all the goods to keep you attention. Her youthful look and added robust rib shape will certainly play into her success down the road. 319L is one that reminds me as much of her dam as any.... a shot more length of body and her flexibility at the ground is so hard to find. Retaining the right to 2 successful flushes at the sellers expense and buyers convenience

A lot can be said about this calf and his ability to never have a bad day. The look and balance and his overall structural integrity is 2nd to none. The term, “From the Ground Up”, is the staple of where we start. L320 has a very uniquely designed hoof and leg structure, just like his dam Emmy G930 who just recently sold to Lindskov’s LT Ranch of South Dakota for $110,00 half interest. We feel this calf has more potential as any we have produced here. This guy is a must see in person. For more details and marketing information please call any of the Bramlet or Haefner team.
