SIRE: A STEP UP DAM: HB RACHEL (SAV FINAL ANSWER 0035 X PLAINVIEW LUTTON E102)

SELLS OPEN - SELLING 1/2 EMBRYO INTEREST AND NO POSSESSION

Ladies and gentlemen, it is our distinct privilege to present one of the most unique investment opportunities to EVER be offered from the Vanhove Cattle Com pany program. The decision was not taken lightly and it wouldn’t be accurate if I told you that it didn’t hurt to sell a piece of arguably the greatest producing female that we have ever owned! Shelby has etched her place in the history books and will carry one of the most decorated legacies in the business. A direct daughter of WS A Step Up X27 and backed by the strong maternal influence of the SAV Final Answer 0035 x Plainview Lutton E102 genetic combination only adds value in the form of mating flexibility and creativity for that matter. She is CLEAN of every defect under the sun and yet offers an unparalleled amount of shape, volume, capacity and true dimension. She is truly a breath-taking specimen that can flat raise them! “Shelby” is much more than just another “pretty face”. She is a true cornerstone breeding piece in the Vanhove Cattle Company donor pen that is one of the all-time high income producing females in the history of the program. She is most famously known as the dam of the popular promotional AI sire, “Here For Good”, one of the most talked about and heavily used rookie sires in the game!

Cash Pratt and company have had great success with the FULL BROTHER to “Here For Good” that was selected as the 2022 NWSS Grand Champion Prospect Steer. He finished his career on the green chips of Freedom Hall as a crowd favorite among one of the absolute toughest fat steer shows of the decade when judge Jirl Buck slapped him as 3rd Overall Market Steer! The Harker family in Indiana have also had great success with their “Shelby” daughter that was purchased through the Dakota Classic just a few years ago. She laid down and had the promotional AI sire known as “Spot On”, a member of the illustrious herd sire battery both here and in Stillwater. Her second calf has been a many times division winner at the National Simmental shows and looks to have a very bright future in the show ring and production. Another example of the generating power that sells all-inclusive with this sale offering annually! The facts are simple, and the decision is yours on New Year’s Eve… how will you make the most of 2023?!

AI’D: 6-11 HERE I AM DUE DATE: 3/20/23

PE: 6-14 TO 8-1 TO MATERNAL MADE SON

SELLING 1/2 EMBRYO INTEREST

A special individual from day one, she stems from an absolutely royal pedigree, and is phenotypically impeccable. 736 has to be the biggest scaled Gold Standard cow in the country, yet she still has the perfect combination of form and function that the Gold Standard legacy is built upon. Her generating potential came to fruition earlier than most with her first club calf mating to Here I Am that resulted in the Flip Side stud who Griswold promoted at the Inaugural Cattle man’s Congress in Oklahoma City.

Another daughter by BNWZ Data Bank was highlight of the open heifer division in Griswold Cattle’s 2020 edition of ‘The Classic’. Brent Tolle invested in her ge netic potential early on and he has seen great success with her club calf sired progeny through his ET program having several high selling HIA sons being traded. If you share our ideas on the importance of cow families then you can rest assured that the one embedded in the genetics of this one will only continue to reap serious financial return. A young cow who has already achieved what many could only dream of achieving in a lifetime.

I don’t care how far it is for you to travel to Sioux Falls Regional on New Year’s Eve, this one alone makes the trip worth it. Likewise, whatever dollar amount she commands I promise it will be cheap when you begin to consider the genetic merit and producing ability this cow possesses. 600D is the kind of cow you draw in a notebook. Rope necked, absolutely massive in her center body, massive in her muscle shape, massive at the ground, and the kind of running gear that never misses a beat. Opportunities like this are once in a lifetime. If you are serious about this business, then you need to be serious about 600D.

If you answered no, then I’m sure you’re loving this one’s pregnancy as much as I am.

SELLING 1/2 EMBRYO INTEREST

This Powerline cow is a sight to behold, it’s amazing how these cattle change after they get clipped for the sale, but in the case of 625 her build, mass and dimension is so genuine that a haircut didn’t change how we felt about her. ‘Beast’ is the only appropriate adjective to use when describing her, it is overwhelm ing how big of a shadow she casts and her daughters to this point have followed suit. In fact it is a family tradition, the Hot Sauce sired mother of 625 was a power cow, who took her job seriously in Madison with a breeding career stacked with high sellers and potent daughters. She is bred to Here For Good, the hype is unreal on this bull, the resulting calf could ring the bell. We think the future of this cow will be immense, you will be hearing of her influence in the following volumes of this book, if you would like the opportunity to divert her earning potential into your pocket then be sure to raise your hand on December 31st.

AI’D: HERE FOR GOOD DUE DATE: 2/6/23

I think most of you know what Whizard cows are capable of doing. This Whizard cow has had several high selling HIA’s. It was time to try something else on her so we gave her a straw of the elite great young bull HERE FOR GOOD. We think it will be a homerun. We know how good her Here I Am’s were, and we think this could be even better. We’re pretty excited about what this cow can do.

The only reason we are selling this one is the fact that we have a pretty good bank of Embryos stored up. We would like to retain a couple flushes at some point in her life, but you get your investment back first and we will worry about that later. I bet you get your investment back yet this year; seriously.

I think this cow speaks for herself. Her first calf was a Red Angus; her second calf is a Here I Am heifer that is Lot 46 in this sale. And her third calf is one that I will never forget the rest of my life. He was my high selling steer this year and he was special. This cow has been flushed once and I would say it’s safe to say that she will live in a donor facility after she has this calf. I’m only selling half of this cow with no option to double and no possession. This cow is a true DONOR. It took a lot to decide whether to offer her. I believe the world is about networking, and that is why we decided to sell half of this cow; we want somebody to enjoy the ride with us on this great young donor.

She has matured with the body shape and capacity you would typically see in a 6 or 7 year old, but luckily for you she is just reaching her prime years of production.

She is so massive in her skeletal design, one that’s got extra shape from behind, incredible hair quality, is big backed and wide hipped. All this power ties together neatly with her skinny neck, lady like head shape, burly feet and ideal leg design. Her mother is a freaky looking Predator daughter---those cattle have been silent producers in this business, but there are females out there who are making big things happen. Somehow 657 kept getting bred other ways then what we think is a perfect mating, Here I Am, but she’s set up for success this year.

Getha Some females are going to be the real deal in my opinion. I had three of them sorted in for the sale. Unfortunately I lost one of them in a freak deal, so there’s just two black and white ones they are both awesome. Whether they’re clean or dirty it doesn’t matter. It is hard to build cattle that balance this consistent ly. If these two females come back clean there’s no question in my mind that Here I Am needs to be dumped in them. If they come back carriers, hell no big deal, and I’m serious, just breed her to Spread the Word. This little black and white doll will be a consistent generator year in and year out.

They have to be one of the highest averaging and in demand sire groups to ever go through the Dakota Classic, with 13 paternal sisters averaging $14,500 over the past two editions of this sale. We don’t think there are many cattle in the business that can match the Ain’t Bluffin’s ability to raise both show steers and heifers that will compete on the biggest stages.

High percent age Maine Cattle have a great value now and will continue to have even more value as time goes on. People figured out you have to have Maine in there to get bone and stoutness in steers.

This kind gets it done day in and day out.

We, like many of the nation’s most progressive maternal club calf herds, have trusted in the Maine x Simmental x Angus cow to form the base that supplies our livelihood. This is a prime example of the type we build the cowherd around. If you took a survey of the crew on which maternal sire consistently supplies the gravy, then Merlin wins hands down.

These Blacklist cattle are really outliers in the Angus breed in my opinion. They have bone and muscle. I have no idea what their EPD’s are, and who cares. Irrel evant information as most of you know make them good first. I’ve said that before and may sound like a broken record but I truly believe we need to pay way more attention to the phenotype on some of these cattle because that’s what they are judged on. Well at least a lot of them. I’m excited for you to judge this one on the 31st. Her mom is a many time Champion. She was shown successfully by the Johannsen family. This Young Donor is a creature.

This one is of that kind. She’s easy on the eyes, coupled with that she’s out of the famous Udell 502. She’s a full sister to several high sellers for them. If you take this one home, she will mate well to Angus, simmy, or Maine. If you want to make those popular Maine Angus, she will raise show heifers that will win the big shows. Do yourself a favor and keep your hand in the air to own her.

She comes by her freakish build and generating potential honestly as she is a direct daughter of the legendary Tyson 929 cow. The first mating for club calf on Z228 yielded a Monopoly steer that the Nelson family of South Dakota would have shown to third overall honors at both the South Dakota State Fair and the 2019 Aksarben Market Steer Show. Between 2021 and 2022, the Z228 donor was responsible for putting seven Here I Am sons in the Vanhove Cattle Company Pasture Sale. These sons averaged a few pennies shy of $35,000 and were traded into some of America’s most dominate show steer feeders. You will also recognize her as the dam of our 2022 promotional sire Here I Come!

It’s the transaction of females of this caliber that has led to this sale becoming one of the leading sources of club calf and maternal females in the nation. 532 descends from the heart of our herd. In the flesh you can idolize every aspect of this female’s build from the tip of her nose to the end of her tail.

Each year it gets more diffi cult for the AI cows to get one in the sale pasture with as heavy as we are leaning on the ET program, so when they can stand out like 682’s progeny have then you know the genetic potential has to be high. That potential was inherited from both her mother and grandmother, for those who have watched our program grow you would recognize her grandmother as the 2562 Anchor cow who is a major foundation of what we have today. There is a promotional quality Ain’t Bluffin son of 682 that you will be hearing of as we approach the Bull Sale this spring--he is pretty special. Here I Am has proven to be no miss here.
