SCHACHER AUCTION SERVICES Robert Schacher 817-219-0102 PO Box 33804, Fort Worth, Texas 76162 r_schacher@msn.com • www.schacherauction.com Dear Livestock Producers, Welcome to the Fort Worth Stock Show and the 28th Annual Southwestern Exposition Invitational Commercial Heifer Sale. If you have been involved in the cattle industry in the last two years, you are aware of the great times that we are enjoying as producers, and the future looks bright for quite some time. The replacement females that our consignors are presenting to you in this offering are the type and quality that will allow you to truly take advantage of today’s market. All the cattle in this sale have followed a health protocol that includes vaccination and parasite control. All of the products and distribution of this health program were provided by Boeringer-Ingleheim and Animal Health International. Read more about this protocol on page 13 of this catalog. The list of people to thank for the success of this event is endless, but I would like to start this year with all of our sponsors. Without all of their support many of the great things associated with this sale would not be possible. We are especially proud of our scholarship program, and I would like to personally thank the donors behind this endeavor. In addition, this program would not be the success that it is without the hours of time put in by Sale Chairman, Phil Stoll. Jay Purchase, I thank you for keeping me straight on all of the awards and the many behind the scenes duties that you perform for the sale. Last but certainly not least, I would like to thank all the guys out back that keep the cattle to us during the sale, without delay, and the professional manner in which they handle the loadout. We are all very proud to be involved with the Fort Worth Stock Show and the great setting they provide for this sale. The staff of the Stock Show is outstanding, and we appreciate all that they do for us. Again, I hope that you enjoy your time in Fort Worth and that you find what you are looking for among this outstanding set of cattle. If there is anything that I can do for you, or if you would just like to talk about the cattle business, please do not hesitate to contact me. Sincerely,

Robert Schach er

Gause, Texas Also look for our cattle in San Antonio and Houston.

LOTS 22 & 23

2 sets of 10 - Super Baldy Pairs

Sired by Brangus Bulls and out of F1 Braford cows. This long time consignor always brings some of the most consistent females that make great mothers. They are moderate framed, efficient heifers that will all have soggy calves at side by Irish bred Angus Bulls that add muscle and pounds at weaning. Take these eye-catching females home, and you will be back to get more next year.

These heifers are deep bodied and perfectly marked. They were pasture exposed from 6/1/2014 to 9/15/2014 to Low birth-weight K&B Ranch Angus bulls that are all sons of Final Answer. These are the kind that are hard to find, very uniform and very nice.

10 Golden Certified F1 Tigerstripe Pairs 30-Day-Old Calves at side by 44 Farms Angus Bulls

Diamond H is bringing what might be his best set to date. These stout, powerful females are made just right, and have the color and markings that are hard to find. They are out of Registered Brahman cows and sired by Registered Hereford Bulls, and are sorted into a very uniform group.

11 Red Motley Faced Heavy Bred Heifers 8 + months Safe in Calf to Trinity River Red Angus Bulls

These two pens of heifers have the Rancherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s look. They are a dark red stripe female with just the right amount of color on their faces, long bodied and very smooth. They are sired by Brahman Bulls and out of Santa Gertrudis cross cows. These are safe in calf to Low Birth-weight Red Angus bulls that will add pounds of performance at weaning.

12 F1 Tigerstripe Pairs 4-5 Month-Old Calves at side by Angus Bulls Selling exposed to Angus Bulls 11/26/14 to 2/5/15

Here are the heifers for the ranchers who like things problem free. These big, Stout Females are out of registered Hereford cows and V8 Ranch Brahman bulls. They have a very impressive set of calves at side by 44 Farms and Evans Farms Angus bulls that will mash down the scales at 4 and 5 months of age. The heifers will sell exposed to the same Angus bulls for two months so these will most likely be 3-n-1s. These are the mates to last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Champion in the Braford Division, and look to be headed back to the winners circle this year.

10 F1 Tigerstripe Pairs 2-3 Week-Old Calves at side by Angus Bulls

7-8 months safe in calf to Trinity River Red Angus Bulls

This is a really nice set of Red Mot heifers that will catch the eye of the Cowboys. They are deep bodied and have the calf raising look to them with just enough ear to make them adaptable to any environment. The Red Angus sired calves they will have are going to be powerful.

You will love these females from first time consignor Sunset Ranch. They are big, deep bodied heifers that have great markings. They are by Hereford bulls and out of Brahman cows. Most of these will be calved out by sale time, and the calves are by Clark Angus and Triple Son Angus Bulls. A very impressive group from a first time consignor.
