FAQ:
WHAT IS RACEHORSE STYLE SALE CLOSE? Racehorse style sale close is when the entire sale stays open in extended bidding. This type of sale allows you as the bidder to change to a different lot within the same sale if the bidding has gone in to extended bidding. HOW WILL EXTENDED BIDDING WORK? When we get to the close out end time the clock for close extends with any bid placed with less than 5 min on the clock. This type of extended bidding turns the end time to more of a soft time. Extended bidding allows bidders to compete in lots like a real auction and give all bidders the same time to make a decision. Always follow the clock to see how much time remains in the sale you are interested in.

324L is an absolute powerhouse. This STING son sets the standard in regards to balance, genuine body, muscle, and structural integrity. His dam, JUSTAMERE TA DIXIE ERICA 575F is a deep made, good uddered, moderate framed female whose mother hailed from the well known Express Ranches in Yukon, OK . 324L resembles his sire, Merit Sting 7047E, who is a powerfully designed, smooth-made bull that combines a nice square foot design. When his time comes we think he will do some great things for his new program.

If you’re searching for eye appeal and balance without sacrifcing stoutness and mobility pay attention here. This bull is not only excellent on the eyes and appearance he is a moderately framed bull with a balanced set of genetic profling.
SHR Mayfower 908G, who was a top pen choice for the 2019 calving season and is backed by a great set of numbers. Her dam 6B is one of our favorites in the herd. She’s a high growth, long-bodied, feminine, female who’s done a tremendous job generating replacement females for our herd.

Stunning in his design, 311L is stylish, cool-fronted, long-sided and has a powerful hip. We purchased his mother out of the 2019 Brooking Angus Ranch fall female sale. 9089 has done awesome things for our program, she’s so maternal-made with a great udder and plenty of look up front. 311’s sire, S A V Pedigree 4834 ranks in the top 1% of current sires for REA EPD.
If you’re looking to inject some extra wow-factor into your calf crop, we think this bull has the ability to do it in one generation!

bw: 82 • act ww: 765 • act yw: 1172
One of our personal favorites. It doesn’t matter if he’s standing, he always looks like a stud. To us this bull’s combination of density, fexibility, and proportions is elite. He’s masculine but still attractive, huge bodied and has the big fexible hind leg we are all chasing. We would love to talk to anyone who has questions about this bull, but to be honest, we would rather you just come see him in person.

The second Mercury son in the offering. He is out of one of our favorite females we purchased from Mountain View Farms last year. 317L is sound structured and stout-made. We’d expect him to produce easy keeping replacement females. Don’t miss out!
Heifer bull alert! We love 303L for being smooth-made with a nice square foot design. The low birth weight bull would be best used of frst calf heifers, however, we think he’ll prove to be truly versatile for any operation. *** Heifer approved
DLMS Farmgate Timed Auction
Another Element son who’d work great on heifers. He’s a smoothmade individual that still remains balanced on the stance and fexible on the move. Check him out!

This guy is a tank, and will surely catch your eye with his extra muscularity and stoutness of feature. He’s a rugged bull, with a unique tandem of quality, power that should make him a truly proftable herd sire. Out of our favorite donor cow SCC SCH BOY Blackbird 7224. 7224 is a powerfully made, big-bodied, and packed with extra foot and bone. She met many friends in the show ring as well as in the pasture as a mature cow. Her dam is the famous Royal Blackbird 502 cow, which is the mother of First in Goal and many Angus Junior National Champions. 13K has all the pieces to go ahead and sire high-end show cattle or will work well on a group of cows to produce replacement females desirable to any scenario.

Another heavy muscled Showman son out of the Mayfower cow family. Here’s a masculine, deepcentered, stout-made bull that is backed by great genetics. His dam was our favorite female from the 2019 calving season, she’s awesome structured, deep and feminine made with an excellent udder. Here’s an opportunity to create some great replacement females.

We’re very proud of our two-yearold line-up this year! Huge legs and feet on this guy. Backed by an awesome cow family we believe this guy would work wonders in any program. The high milk individual is big framed , deep made with added look upfront.

This one is a hard one for us to get rid of. 302L is a real feminine and maternal built heifer that is sound structured, fat shouldered, big bellied and nice necked. The kind that only gets better with time!

This Zara Lisa heifer is moderate-framed and great balanced and I feel is going to be an asset in production for years to come!
