Data Key

CHOOSE TO WIN - Here is an exciting pick lot of Fall ET Heifer Calves out of the fantastic $52,500 Donor, Suhn’s Miss Tradition 30F18, recently acquired by Phillips Ranch. This will be a challenging pick lot where you won’t be able to go wrong with this super strong set of Empower sired ET full sisters out of the 30F18 donor cow who produced so well for us at Fenco Farms.

You will know why Rob and Phillips Ranch made the investment to own the 30F18 cow when you see this fancy group of heifer calves. The other neat thing about these heifer calves is that we will have a tremendous set of full brothers selling this fall at the Phillips-Fenco Bull Sale and we believe that one or more could go on to make Herd Sires for registered herds.

Empower is doing just an impressive job of breeding very attractive cattle with a lot to them from a structure, growth and stoutness standpoint. You combine the 30F18 donor that result in genetic powerhouses that have growth, maternal and carcass all wrapped into one package. Take your choice of one of these heifers with EPD rankings of Top 5% or better EPD’s in WW, YW, TM, SC, REA, HfrPreg and Term.

~Lot 7 Choice of Open Heifers~

We wanted to bring the best BWCC HUGO 484H7 heifer out of our ET program. I couldn’t pick from these 2 heifers on which one is best so we are taking both to town and will let the new owner decide for his self. Good luck… These heifers will be one of the first offspring to sell of the up and coming BWCC Hugo 484H7, that was purchased by Fenco Farms and is a son of the great BWCC McQueen 192E24. Their young donor dam VF Ms Rock Solid 000F28 is a direct daughter of the great VF Ms Game Changer 000B4 that we sold to Garret Thomas and her offspring has been leading the sales across Texas. Her great grand dam is the famous MC Ms Quite Lady 000S50 that needs little introduction to being one of the leading donors in the breed and has been the building block of the Vanna Farms herd.

~Lot 8 Choice of Open Heifers~

These great looking genetic giants are embryo sisters from two of the most important individuals that ever came out of the Blackwater program. Their red-carpet donor dam is the sensational BWCC She’s Special 468Y18 who claims honors as the greatest daughter of Something Special and out of the greatest Cadence daughter in breed history, Miss Brinks Cadence 468G15. Their sire, BWCC Big Lake 111F4, is the breed’s most proven option for carcass merit contributions owning the extreme end of a TOP 1% IMF Value blended with a TOP 5% REA EPD. Additionally, Big Lake is the buzz of Brangus with his superior muscle mass, extra performance, added inches from stifle to stifle, extreme length of spine, and overall natural great looks. The $50,000 second high selling bull from the Phillips, Fenco and Saddle Hill Bull Sale last October is sired by Big Lake.

However, one must refer to the pedigree for the donor dam cataloged as Lot 2 and find these two sensational heifers are maternal sisters to this all-time genetic giant BWCC Ms Overload 468D22! Big Lake, 468Y18, and a maternal sister to 468D22. Nuff Said! This proven pedigree has already produced five full sisters that are in donor programs and several herd sire brothers used in herds spread across Brangus.

Note their EPD panel contributes FIFTEEN TRAITS in the TOP 25% of the breed population and proven thru their heralded pedigree and enhanced by their individual weights and measures.

~Lot 9 Choice of Bred Heifers~

SEEING DOUBLE GOOD - Really interesting Choice Lot here with identical heifer twins that there is not a lick of difference in and both are super neat made Never Surrenders. We are going to be happy to take the one you don’t pick home as we believe these girls have some genetic gold in them. It is one of the easiest choice lots that has ever sold!

Although we believe that Brangus mamas have more than enough milk across most of the breed, these heifers are exceptional if you want to add explosive Milk EPD’s. Their dam, a Landau daughter, is one of the elite Milk cows in the breed with a +25 Milk and she proved it by weaning these twins for a total of 1323 pounds combined adjusted weaning weight! These heifers are neat and complete in their kind and boast some eye popping numbers with 8 traits in the Top 15% of the breed including a Top 1% Total Maternal and Top 2% WW & YW.

A direct daughter of MS SVF Patton 23Y66 who scanned over a 10-inch ribeye and 5.11 for IMF while ranking in the top 10% for WW, YW, SC and REA. This Never Surrender daughter is a maternal sister to the pair of Big Lake daughters who commanded top dollar when they sold 50% interest to Fenco. Last year the right to flush those females brought more than $10,000 and sold to Draggin’ M Ranch. I can’t say enough about the value and predictability found on the bottom side of this pedigree.

30J36 is an UltraBlack maternal sister to the Lot 11 and her figures are impressive across the board. She blends to 25% CED with top 2% WW, YW, REA and top 1% Terminal Index. When you consider raising commercial driven range bulls these are the type of females that get the job done as they offer so much mating flexibility while still being backed by the predictable 30 cow family.

These maternal sisters to the PRB Big Deal 99J4 bull are loaded with style and presence. This pair of Empire daughters are built with power from the ground up. They are bold in their rib design, wide in their pin set and still have a refined female look that Brangus breeders demand. Their dam 99C67, a crowd favorite of most to pass through the gates at Phillips ranch, is known for stamping her progeny with striking looks found in these females.

BALANCE OF POWER - Fenco Farms wanted to showcase their program with cattle that have the genetics and phenotype that is in demand in the marketplace and this heifer embodies that goal. She is a stout made 133 cow family heifer with substantial bone, volume and look.

As good as she looks, she also packs the power with her EPD profile having a phenomnial 12 traits in the top 35% or better! It is hard to find this kind of balance in an individual along with having BW and Milk that will improve lots of bulls.

The value of the A5051 progeny is well established, most recently she generated $65,000 in flushes offered at the 2023 Genetic Edge Sale that were purchased by Fenco Farms and ACE. These daughters from the #1 cow in the breed for IMF have the kind of breeding value that last for generations. In our inaugural sale a pair of Never Surrender daughters from this legendary dam generated $45,000. This trio of females are attractive, big numbered and have real donor potential.
