and sold d Hereford bred atch Champion Polle C st lie ad our JK De by us, sired by

Every year there has always been at least 100 head of females that do not bring much more than sale barn price. Many can testify that there are good cattle at bargain prices all the way, throughout the entirety of this sale. Mel Manhart purchased a $1,600 Picasso bred ET heifer out of the 623 Angus Donor. She has since then raised a Cream of the Crop, $8,500 Polar Ice bred heifer. The Texas Twister bred heifer she has in this year’s sale is one of the best we have to offer. Come early, stay late, and do your homework. It takes a good deal of time to go through 450 head the right way. There will be many in the bargain bin that will be great investments to fit anyone’s budget. Parker Cattle Company owned by Charlie and Casey Parker have been long time, repeat, customers of some of the very best females and bulls we have had to offer. We are proud for them for raising the Grand Champion Steer at the 2015 Houston Livestock Show. He was out of the good 385 Hoo Doo cow that they purchased from us. Thank you for choosing us to help market your cattle in our Cream of the Crop sales. Look for their powerful offering of females and bulls in this sale, as well as the bulls that we will be selling in our fall bull sale. Tommy Byrd and Sid Robinson pack some of our very best back to East Texas with them every year. Davis Cattle Co. bought “Trail Boss” as a yearling for $14,000 first. We then re-sold him in our 2013 Cream of the Crop Sale for $29,000 to Sid and Tommy. Their first two steers we sold out of him this spring, alone brought $18,000. Wise investments lead to profitable returns. Good job Gentlemen. Mike and Kent Speer from Tri S Ranch have had great success with their Cream of the Crop Females that they’ve purchased over the last three years. The three Troubadour, Polar Ice, and Tank daughters they purchased here in 2012 for $26,250 have produced $108,500 in progeny sales for them. Pretty darn good return on their investment. That’s our goal, to raise and sell cattle that make our customers good profits. Ricky and Rusty Day have sold many champion and high selling Hereford steers. Many of which have been sired by our “Made Right” bull. Many of them, have been ET’s, out of a Cream of the Crop 30-06 daughter, that they purchased from us. She has produced several $100,000 worth of progeny and has had champions at all of the majors in Texas. They believe in her enough that she is now a part of their cloning program. Many thanks for being volume Made Right Semen Buyers. We hope our genetics keep on working for you!

Mike Mimms has been a long time Cream of the Crop customer and has bought some of the best we have to offer. Many of his Cream of the Crop genetics have highlighted his Donors Unlimited Sale. Like his Cream of the Crop H624 Made Right daughter, the COC 903W Yellow Jacket x Taz Daughter, the COC 428 full sister to Yellow Jacket and now his new COC herd sire “Red Rooster” that is out of our $200,000 producing 524 Donor. Being one of the volume buyers of Made Right semen, he has become a Hereford enthusiast, and a force to be recond with. Every Hereford lot, that sold in this year’s Donor’s Unlimited Sale, had at least one Black Hereford Ranch sire in their pedigree. There’s not a better guy, who works harder, and enjoys raising great ones as much as Mike does. We are very grateful for the confidence he has in our program. Raul Martinez of 5M Ranch purchased half interest in a great $39,000 Yellow Jacket daughter, who they call “African Queen.” She has now surpassed the $200,000 mark. She’s nine years old and still going strong. Her best ever is selling in this years offering. Bradley Hale’s Herefords are hard to beat. If you study his pedigrees a lot of them are rich in Black Hereford Ranch blood. Including Made Right, Carpe Diem, Shot Gun, Cannon, Wasp, Outer Limits, Sniper, Dakota, and Bazooka. We hope our genetics continue to help in your success. Congratulations on all of your latest big wins. Ricky Gray has been one of our best customers for years. He has been a great partner on some of our very best bulls like Yellow Jacket, Polar Ice, Banshee, Frost Proof, and Torque. He has put them to good use. The stout set of bred heifers and bulls he’s selling June 13th and this fall are living proof of how helpful a good Cream of the Crop sire can be. Brandon Bird has assembled a group of the very best females and bulls from all over the country. We sure appreciate that he has invested in our program with confidence. Watch for progeny from his Cream of the Crop Females and latest herd bull purchase from us, “Free Bird,” the stoutest Lead On x 410 to date. Ernest Clark and Wade Shackelford purchased a $3,500 “Tiger” daughter as a bred heifer. She has since generated over $150,000 in sales and she has helped put Ernest on the map if you are on the hunt for high caliber Herefords. Brandon Horn purchased his first Club Calf Cow from us when he was first getting started. The rest has been history. He has been back for more, and we wish him continued success with our genetics. Mike Mattearue raised the 2015 Grand Champion Steer at the Nacogdoches County Show sired by his Cream of the Crop herd bull. You will hear more from this operation. Congratulations! Bruce and Dustin Glover have bought several of our top females for their progressive club calf operation over the years. We appreciate their repeat business, and congratulate their success.

Cream of the Crop Success

Special thanks to our customers and friends who have done a great job with our genetics!

Cream of the Crop Success

Success stories... (continued) Jeb Skiles and Bob Beville have been the volume buyers the last two years. They are putting together a set of cows that are second to none. We are excited that they are using our genetics to create a lasting foundation for their cow herd.

The History Behind

Black Hereford Ranch Frank Gilliland

Greg Kroupa has purchased several leading Cream of the Crop Females and Bulls over the years. The Cream of the Crop 159 Cow Donor he purchased for $10,000, has now produced over $300,000 in progeny. Carpe Diem and Freeze Frame, are just a few that have been wonderful investments for his program as well. Jason Scheetz purchased a $26,000 Lead On x 448 Donor as a bred heifer. She is now over the $100,000 mark in progeny sales. She raised the Grand Steer at the State Fair of Texas, that is one of her most notorious sons. Korky Wise has put together a premier cow herd, many of which are Cream of the Crop Females or daughters. He has raised champions at many of the Texas majors, not once but several times. John Sullivan still has not seen his 2006, $8,000 half interest purchase, in what turned into the great 410 Donor. She has surpassed the $300,000 point in sales. She is the dam of Troubadour and 14 of her sons have averaged $18,500 thus far. She is 11 years old and still shelling out the great ones. Check out the eight full sisters to Troubadour she has in this offering, they are special. Brian and Dennis Kennedy have had great success, with their Cream of the Crop females and herd sires. They have produced two Reserve Grand Steers at Houston Livestock Show as well as many other champions and high sellers. Champ Davis bought some of the best of what we had to offer from the time we started. We are thankful for the time and friendship we had with this great cattleman. His son, Neal Ray, has continued to do what Davis Cattle Co. is good at, raising the good ones. Many of the Cream of the Crop Females Champ and Neal Ray have purchased still remain in their Donor pen. Yello Repo, Easy Street and some of the best roam their pastures. Neal Rayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offering in this sale is deep in quality and rich with our genetics. Thank you for continually believing in our program.

The homestead still stands and serves as a ranch house across from the now home of Gay and Kris Black. The sale tent is always just west over the hill from this house.

From a phenotypic standpoint, she is exceptional! Long necked, great ribbed and very correct describes this featured lot. Picante sired the Champion AOB steer at San Antonio in 2014. Other daughters of Picante sell as Lots 109 to 122. Most importantly, we love the dam of this heifer. Cow family counts when it comes to the success in these major donor candidates. Her Maine granddam, 9730, is one of the top five most important cows ever at Black Hereford Ranch. The success and dollars generated by 9730 have spanned over many years, and she will continue to be seen in many of the pedigrees here. This heifer can be mated many ways. We think that crossing her to many of the successful, higher percentage Charolais bulls will be a big hit. Females with this much look and stoutness and that are this complete are hard to find. This is a major donor candidate and one that we are certainly proud to feature.

She is a daughter of Solid Gold out of a Lifeline x 524. The 524 donor has generated over $200,000 in progeny sales and is one of the most important cows to this program. 524 was the mother of Tank, Mike Mimmsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Red Rooster and 524 Gold, who sold to Rick Beard. Tank was one of the most influential sires in this program, and the COC-produced Red Rooster is making headlines in the Mimms herd. 524 Gold was her last son and may be the best. The Lifeline granddam to this lot sold for $16,000 for one-half interest in a past COC sale and has done a great job. There is a good, long line of powerful females behind this heifer. Her sire, Blue Bayou, by Yellow Jacket, was Lot 1 in the 2011 COC Bull Sale. He had as much look, style and quality as any bull sold through this offering. He went to Tommy Byrd. This heifer is very complete and useful in her type and kind. She has a world of body and depth, and she is square hipped and pretty fronted. She is also exceptional in her soundness. This is a featured heifer that will look great at the top of any donor program. You know the success of Yellow Jacket and his daughters. There is a lot of predictability in these cattle.

The two heifers that sell as Lots 3 and 4 are full sisters to the popular Peaches, who sold for $24,000 for half interest in the 2013 Cream of the Crop into the Brandon Bird program. They are daughters of Donor 8533, owned by John Graves and originating at Duelloâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. 8533 has generated four calves in two years that have averaged $23,500 in COC sales. She has a good Talk Back bull at side now that will turn some heads next fall. In addition, she produced two Man Among Boys steer calves that sold for $20,000 each last year. We think this pair of heifers is extra special. There isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a great deal of difference between them. Early visitors have been quick to find these two. They are extremely sound, correct and super stout in their muscle pattern and rib shape. Either of these heifers would be a powerful addition to lead any program. They are stout enough to raise a herd bull, or they will generate top show prospects. Troubadour has a big presence in this sale offering. His daughters are generating champions and making excellent cows. Very little semen is left on Troubadour, and it is currently commanding close to $300 per unit. Nearly 40 daughters or granddaughters of Troubadour sell in this offering, beginning on page 50 with Lot 43.

A maternal brother and sale feature sells as Lot 455 to lead off the bull offering. Here’s a heifer that comes from a long line of great, successful and show winning genetics. Her famed dam, African Queen, has been the highest selling female of all time in the Cream of the Crop Sales at $39,000 for one-half interest; she sold to the 5M program in Texas. In 2012, African Queen produced eight full sibs to this heifer that generated over $160,000 in a single flush to average $20,000 each. Other progeny of this great donor dam have made a big impact here and in other herds. 9630 is the great looking Full Throttle granddam. She is the second favorite, best made cow I have owned ...second only to the 008 great-granddam, who is my all-time favorite, best looking cow ever to walk our pastures. We think a great deal of this red heifer. She looks a lot like her dam and has a hip and front end that just won’t quit. Study the style and the structure of this heifer. They don’t make them like this very often. She has a stout hip and big top to go along with her quality and design. Here is one of the best future donor candidates to sell. She should be extra impressive come sale day.

Kris likes this heifer a great deal. Her dam goes back to the 9642 Mailman donor at Black Hereford Ranch. She was flushed for many years and produced many top selling cattle.

Eight more flush mates to this lot sell as Lots 32 through 39. In the past year, 12 brothers to this mating have averaged over $18,500 and have sold into many leading programs. The only two full sisters to this lot are at work in the Voboril and Kennedy herd and have had tremendous success in their donor pen. Both females were high selling lots in past COC sales and have made as good looking, great uddered cows as you will see anywhere. The famed dam of these lots is Donor 410. She sold for $8,000 for half interest in a past COC sale to John Sullivan and has to date generated over $300,000 in progeny sales. In addition to the full sisters that sell, three three-quarter sisters in blood to Troubadour sell as Lots 40 through 43. This line of cattle has as much quality, style and look as any higher percentage Charolais cattle in the country. They have the hip structure, the outline and the presence that is hard to find in many cattle. Lot 10 is a special individual and one that will be easy to find in these featured heifers. All of these sisters are spring born and were on stalks all winter. They were a little greener at photo time but will be sure to impress on sale week. They are valuable breeding pieces and ones to give high consideration to if you are looking for a big-time donor dam.

Cows like this one will keep you in business for a long time. She is powerful hipped and has a lot of body and flank. Tons of rib and capacity.

This heifer was picked by Kris out of the leading 5M herd in south Texas that has generated lots of good cattle. When you stack Troubadour, Yellow Jacket and purebred Hoo Doo genetics on top of each other, you are stacking up some of the most successful Charolais and club calf genetics in the country. Good things are bound to happen! This heifer is royally bred. Lot 15 has a great design and style. She is good topped and attractive profiling. We think this heifer will really shine on sale week. With a little more maturity, she will be extra stout. Daughters of Troubadour are making a big impact and headline several donor programs across the country. This will be one of the best to sell anywhere this year.

She is massive in her body and rib. She is one of the deepest flanked, deepest sided heifers to sell. Pedigree wise, she is just as impressive, being a maternal sister to the Champion Chi Steer at the 2009 Houston Livestock Show and out of a good looking Who Made Who daughter. Her sire, BoJo, has had a large presence in this industry, and several daughters have met with big success. There are a lot of purple genetics on both sides of this pedigree. Lot 16 will easily make a top addition to any program. It’s hard to find cattle with this much rib that still maintain this kind of look. She will stick out in the front pens on sale week and won’t be hard to find. She was selected right out of the heart of the replacement pen at Parker’s, breeder of the Houston Livestock Show 2015 Grand Champion Steer.

TROUBADOUR Donor 9970 (dam of Lots 40 through 42) and her daughter 410 (dam of Lots 10 and 32 through 38) are two females that have made a huge impact. 9970, the grandam of Troubadour, is the Casper x Sugar Ray/Epinal that is the mother of 410. In her prime, 9970 was one of the coolest looking, stoutest cows in existence. We are still flushing her at the age of 16, and she raised a natural calf last year. The 9970 daughter 410, sired by the purebred Charolais bull WG, was purchased by John Sullivan in the 2006 Cream of the Crop Sale for $8,000 for half interest and to date has produced over $300,000 in progeny sales. Her most famed son is Troubadour, who sired the 2014 San Antonio Grand Steer and several other major champions. However, it appears that the daughters of Troubadour may end up having the biggest say! In just the last year, 12 full brothers to the heifers selling on page 48 averaged $18,500. The only other two full sisters to Troubadour to date sold for $15,000 and $20,000 to Kennedy Bros. and Kenny Voboril; they both have made extraordinary looking cows with great uddersâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;two of the best looking youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see anywhere. 49

EXACTO Sire of Lots 54â&#x20AC;&#x201C;57 Troubadour has met with big success in recent seasons, but his sons may well out breed their great sire in time. Several Troubadour sons have topped past Cream of the Crop sales and have been in big demand. One of the top selling Cream of the Crop sons of Troubadour is Exacto, sold to Brandon Bird, Lubbock, Texas, for $16,000. Exacto is doing a great job in the Bird program. This is a powerful set of heifers on the opposite page. They will no doubt have a large presence in any top herd and will generate thousands in progeny sales over the next few years. 51

YELLOW JACKET Yellow Jacket continues to impress himself upon this industry, 13 years after he was born. Not many bulls have that kind of staying power in this business. He sired an $82,000 bull sold in the Reimann dispersal as well as several other high selling progeny just this past year. He has been on the top or bottom side of many champions across the country. Both his daughters and his sons have won major championships. He was out of one of the first Hoo Doo females on this place, “Phylli,” who generated over $100,000 in sales for us. Yellow Jacket and his one-of-a-kind dam are the only two animals we have cloned. George, bred in this herd, is straight Hoo Doo genetics. George was named after Hoo Doo’s manager, who was responsible for much of the breeding and its success on that ranch. The opposite page contains a good set of females sired by these genetics. 55

These Jazz daughters are from the successful 104 donor at Travis Otterstad’s and Jake Wynne’s that has produced over $60K in progeny and embryo sales, including a $15,000 full sib steer to these sisters. Lot 100 is very impressive in person. She has a great deal of pattern and style. She is moderate and big bodied with good shape and width. She will make a powerful donor and a very impressive, easy keeping mature cow. Her pedigree and roan pattern give her the potential to produce good Shorthorn prospects.

LOTS 102 & 103 – ET full sisters sell as Lots 102 and 103. Here are two really good embryo-produced heifers by Jake’s Proud Jazz and out of a very successful Golden Child donor dam. When Kris spotted these two heifers, he had to own them. He was the last one standing after arguing them away from Haymes and Devon.

Charolais sires that have made an impact at Black Hereford Ranch

LOT 104 – Pay attention, Shorthorn steer raisers! This heifer is extra nice and will make a stout cow. From Levoy and Landon Ringo.

LOT 105 – Extra style and eye appeal. Sired by the famous Fire Water.

LOT 106 – This is a good example of what a COC first-calf heifer can do. Jr. Garza did a good job picking out this heifer’s dam in a past sale. This heifer had high marks at catalog time and should have been pictured. She could end up at the top of the heap come sale day. She would satisfy any sight-unseen buyer.

MADE RIGHT Made Rightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s list of champions continues to grow. As his success indicates, he is likely the most dominant sire in the club calf business when you consider the champions produced in accordance to the amount of semen sold. He is certainly one of the most consistent sires of all time. Just this year, in 2015, he added the Grand and Reserve Grand Steers at Odessa, the Reserve Polled Steer at Odessa, the Reserve Hereford Steer at Fort Worth and the Champion Hereford at San Antonio; a daughter produced the 2015 Champion Hereford Steer at Oklahoma City. Made Right also sired a $70,000 son that sold in the 2015 Embryos on Snow Sale named Battle Cry. His semen sells as Lots 601â&#x20AC;&#x201C;625.

LOT 268 – This is one of the best purebred Hoo Doo females that we have had on the place. Her Hoo Doo donor dam was Kris’s pick of 1600 bred heifers in 2006 at Hoo Doo Ranch.

These spring heifers ran on stalks all winter. This one is extra nice and was just too green at photo time.

LOT 274 – 274 is sired by J10, a full brother to Polar Ice. He sired some great cattle and then broke his leg. You will look long and hard to find a set of purebreds this good. Lot 274 is another standout heifer in this group of purebreds. She had lots of stars by her on Kris’s notebook. LOTS 275–276 – Twins sell as Lots 275 and 276. They are out of a 12-year-old purebred Hoo Doo that is one of the stoutest in existence. These are some of the coolest purebreds anywhere. Both heifers are ranked really high in this group.

LOT 344 – This heifer was produced from a COC firstcalf heifer. Lots of quality and loads of style. Very versatile, you can breed this one many different ways. LOT LOT 345 – This ET heifer is 344 extra special. She is probably the last daughter of 91-31 that will sell. This foundation Maine cow produced over $150,000 in sales for us and has without question been a cornerstone dam. LOT 346 – A good purebred Angus that is deep bodied and square. Her dam is a good, moderate easy keeper. LOT 347 – This good heifer will make a great replacement. LOT 348 – Lots of body and extra stoutness. LOT 349 – Lots of body and capacity. Great cow maker. LOT 350 – A top marked heifer at catalog time. LOT 353 – Good hip and lots of body. Has a shot of American on her bottom side from a Cyril Wolfe daughter of JT. LOT 354 – Her grandam was 623, another leading Angus donor dam that would make them as good looking as any cow out there. This heifer is extra nice and has lots of rib. LOT 357 – This daughter of Dan Leddy’s Red Red Wine was out of a first-calf heifer that is one of the best looking young three-year-olds on the place. Her dam’s sire, Polar Ice, is still one of the highest selling, best producing purebred bulls we have sold. Here’s one of the best in this group!

HE IF E R S LOTS 358–359 – Lots 358 and 359 are daughters of Six Mile Countess 105Y, the 2012 National Champion Red Angus female. Lot 359 is a full sister to the $18,000 Red Angus bull purchased by Hales in the Fall 2014 Cream of the Crop Bull Sale. Another maternal sister to these lots sold for $42,000 this past fall to Duff Cattle Co. and was Junior Calf Champion at the 2015 National Western. Both of these heifers will make top females to add to any Red Angus program or to breed back Charolais. These heifers have lots of body and are really stout for purebreds.

LOTS 360–366 – Maternal or embryo sisters sell as Lots 360–366. Their dam sells as Lot 378 and is one of the most impressive Shorthorn cows ever in the club calf business. Her success is just beginning, with this being some of the first of her embryo progeny. She produced a second place middle weight at Fort Worth last year and has also generated several brothers in COC sales that sold from $5,000 to $15,000 out of her first embryo crop at Safari. You will like the structure and hip in all of these heifers. They are built right. Study them and take your pick…nothing is being held back. LOT 360 – This is a top heifer in this stout set of ET sisters and one that could have led off the entire sale offering. Don’t overlook her!

LOT 366 – Asset is the Solution son whose semen is currently demanding $300 per unit.

AMERICAN BREEDERS: TAKE NOTE! LOT 367 – Blue Bayou was purchased by Tommy Byrd in the Fall 2011 COC Bull Sale as Lot 1. Two sons made the sale at Houston this year. This half blood heifer is out of a nice, moderate gray Brahman cow and is bred just like her two brothers that made the sale at Houston this year. LOT 368 – Kris picked this heifer out of a large set of Brangus replacement females. She is stout and good looking.

LOT 369 – This heifer is out of a cow that we purchased from Dr. Warner’s dispersal sale. Her dam has an ultra stout, yellow American bull calf on her, sired by our $38,000, high selling bull in the June 2014 sale, 24 Carat, that went to Brad Holt. This heifer is one of the most powerful females in the offering.

LOT 370 – Lot 370 is a full sister to the $18,000

NOTE ABOUT TH & PHA TESTING:

Megatron, an American bull that sold in our 2013 Fall Bull Sale to Richard Johnson and Dennis Theiss.

LOT 371 – This is a good smoke with a touch of

All of the bulls selling have been tested, but none of the female lots have been tested. If it is not stated that a lot has been tested, you should assume that no test has been completed. All cattle, in regard to TH, PHA and other genetic profiles, sell as is.

American influence on her dam’s side. Her dam is really stout. Another good heifer that should have been lotted with these American-influenced bred heifers is Lot 353. Look her up!

Reg. PB Charolais (AICA F1160678) | May 2012 | Polled | ET SIRE TR Mr Fire Water 5792RET DAM Hoo Doo Z6017

Terms of Ms Voodoo 6017 Flush • Seller guarantees a minimum of six embryos by the bull of the buyer’s choice. Any embryos produced over eight will be split evenly between the buyer and seller.

Fire Water progeny have dominated the Charolais breed’s show ring for several years. Kate Shaffer showed this amazing heifer in 2014, when she was the winningest heifer in the country. We believe that she is the most perfect made Fire Water daughter in existence. Her dam is our high earning Hoo Doo Z6017 donor cow, who has produced over $250,000 in progeny sales and is the stoutest registered Hoo Doo cow ever. Her most distinguished son is Camp Cooley’s “Smart Choice.” Daughters that she has produced have been high sellers several times, bringing from $15,000 to $40,000. Voodoo’s winning streak began at the 2013 Regional Classic at Sedalia, MO, then Reserve Grand at the Missouri State Fair, then 2013 Grand Champion, Kansas City American Royal, and then from there she went on to the National Western in Denver, where she was Grand in the Junior Show and National Reserve Grand in the Open Show. Congratulations to the Shaffer family of Carthage, MO, on a job well done! It took a lot of arm twisting, but I talked Kate into offering a flush on this very special cow. She will calve before sale day and should be ready to flush by August 1, 2015.

• Seller guarantees at least two pregnancies if transferred by a certified embryologist that we agree to. • Semen and all expenses associated with the flush will be paid for by the buyer. • Flush will take place at Shaffer’s Ranch in Carthage, MO. • We will work with you on getting them put in fresh or can freeze and ship wherever you need them. • If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to call and talk with Kris about this exciting opportunity!

In 2013, she produced a $24,000 Red Rooster steer; her 2014 calf got hurt, or he would have been one of the best we had to offer this spring. A daughter by Exacto sells as Lot 57. This is one of the stoutest females you will see this weekend. She has a powerful hip and hind leg and lots of look and style to go along with her power. She also has a lot of rib shape and flank to be as cool and stout as she is. She is sound and has made a real good mother. Lot 375 has been tested THC. She sells serviced to Business Done Right and was cleaned up with the $18,000 full brother to Troubadour that sold in last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s June sale to Robert Vallejo. She was also exposed to the #4 George son. She has never been flushed, and we are reserving the right to partner on two flushes out of this great cow.

No Apologies has generated some top sellers and has sired many good, complete females that are making good cows. This good looking cow sold as Lot 1 in the June 2008 Cream of the Crop Sale and had No Apologies as her first calf. She has been a leading producer for Safari Cattle Company and is a great egg producer, averaging 10 to 12 eggs per flush. Over 10 calves have sold for an average of over $6,500 in the Cream of the Crop Sales. In 2011, she produced a calf by Heat Wave that was second in Class 4 crossbreds at Fort Worth. This straight Hoo Doo bred female was one of the best looking and biggest bodied females to ever sell in a Cream of the Crop offering. She will be ready to flush this fall after she calves to the $16,000 Talk Back, sired by Troubadour. This is a top donor opportunity and a great cow that could headline any ET program. A COC Hoo Doo female raised this year’s Houston Grand Champion Steer and Champion Simmental. These genetics are proven.

LOT 378 – A top donor in the Safari program! She produced two Monopoly steer calves, one selling for $6,000 and another for $6,500 in COC sales. This female has a great pattern and has always had lots of eye appeal. She is a good egg producer and only sells for that reason. She has averaged over eight embryos in approximately five flushes. She has not been flushed in the past three years. LOT 379 – This Shorthorn donor is a stout one and one of the most eye-catching females in the country. She has had a productive stint in the Safari program and originated at Duello’s.

The fall-calving cow herd in the successful and nationally known Ryan Went program sells in its entirety in this sale offering on June 13th. Ryan was set to have a sale in July before he and Kris made the decision to sell them all right here. This set of cows has produced many high sellers that have sold right out of the pasture at Wents’. They have the body and power that Wents are known to produce. Many of these cows have daughters in the spring program there, and other daughters have topped their February cow sales. Take a close look here! They are mated and AI serviced to generate big return this fall. Ryan and Jan will be at the sale and will be glad to visit with you about any of these cattle! This is a super stout set and a great addition to this exciting weekend. This great daughter of Paddy raised a steer calf that sold for $9,000 right out of the pasture at Wents’. She has been flushed once to Heat Wave and produced a $10,200 steer. A real stout heifer is at work in the spring program. More calves out of this featured cow will be born at Wents’ this coming fall in their recip herd. Here’s a big opportunity to buy a Maine-influence cow that has a lot of maternal influence. She could bring lots of attention to any big-time program.

LOT 395

Went 979 | Black | 2009 SIRE Paddy Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Malley (Irish Whiskey) DAM Angus PE: Smoky Mountain PE: Red Dirt, Color Me Up, Smoke N Mirrors This stout cow is one of Ryanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favorite females. She raised a $12,500 son of Monopoly. A daughter sold in the spring Went female sale for $9,000, and another daughter is in production at the ranch. She also raised a Heat Wave steer that sold for $7,500 right out of the pasture. This daughter of Paddy will be a sale feature. She is goose necked and has a huge, powerful hip. She is in her prime and would be a valuable addition to any ET program. The Went females were either AI serviced or they ran with Gold Rush for most of their pasture exposure. Ryan feels like most of these females should calve to their AI date where listed. Red Dirt, Color Me Up and Smoke N Mirrors cleaned up some of the cows for two weeks at the end of their pasture exposure.

ycoc 404 | Yellow | Oct. 2013 | Polled | Bull SIRE Man Among Boys (Monopoly) DAM African Queen 614 (Yellow Jacket x 9630 Full Throttle x 008 Donor) We have a powerful lot to lead off the bull offering for this sale. This son of one of the hottest sires in America, Man Among Boys, has a great deal of potential. We think he has AI sire marketability, and he will be a powerful herd bull that can generate high selling steers or major champions in any program. If you are looking for a herd bull backed by a great dam, this is one for serious consideration. His famed dam, African Queen, has been the highest selling female of all time in the Cream of the Crop sales at $39,000 for one-half interest. She sold to the 5M program in Texas. In 2012, African Queen produced eight maternal sibs to this bull that generated over $160,000 in a single flush to average $20,000 each. African Queen has generated over $200,000 in progeny. Other progeny of this great donor dam have made a big impact here as well as in other herds. The grandam to this bull, a daughter of Full Throttle, was one of the best looking cows ever at Black Hereford Ranch. Kris stated, “9630 is the second favorite, best made cow I have owned...second only to the 008 great-granddam, who is my all-time favorite, best looking cow ever to walk our pastures.” This bull is one of the very best for today’s market and certainly one of the best bulls to ever sell out of the Cream of the Crop sales. Lot 455 is as stout and wide as they come. He has a great, square hip, a big top and a perfect hind leg. He is up headed and good necked and has the same look and style possessed by his great dam. God doesn’t make them like this one very often. Two maternal sisters sells as Lots 5 and 134, sired by Texas Twister.

LOT 457

Kris stated, “This is one of the best purebred, straight Hoo Doo Charolais bulls that has been around here.”

Here’s another purebred bull that is great built, moderate and sound. His pedigree is straight Hoo Doo genetics. Here’s one you can raise show steers out of and build a great set of cows from too.

Lot 456 is perfect sized, which is hard to find. He is built great to sire slick sheared steers. He’s big topped, super hipped and has plenty of belly. In addition to his potential to throw top selling steer calves, his daughters will be outstanding—the kind to build a cow herd around. He is very soft made and still nice fronted.

He is out of a great producing, good looking old Hoo Doo Ranch purebred Charolais cow that has been good to us. The sire of Lot 457 is a smaller, stouter full sib to Polar Ice that we are really high on. We lost him as a two-year-old, with very little semen on hand.

The dam of Lot 456 is highly noted by Kris and is one of the best purebred Hoo Doos in this program. She produced a $24,750 bred heifer in 2013 that sold to Phillip Renner. Good purebred bulls like this one are not easy to get your hands on.

NOTE TO BULL BUYERS: Purchaser is buying full possession, 2/3 semen interest and full salvage value, unless otherwise stated. Black Hereford Ranch will retain a 1/3 semen interest, including 1/3 semen sales, in each bull selling.

He is also the sire of this cool looking, wild colored bull that was our pick of Gregory’s spring 2014 bulls. This bull has great style and color to work in today’s market to sire high dollar club calves. LOT 461 – Here’s a great, really stout son of a 7/8 Angus bull that has just a little bit of 734 and Witch Doctor in the bottom side of him. His dam is over half Angus, and he still has plenty of muscle to make great slick show steers that are big ribbed with a super hip and top. His daughters should make excellent cows.

LOT 464 – A good looking bull that is stout enough and moves really good. His dam is the huge bodied Jake’s Blue that raised the Reserve Grand Steer at San Antonio, plus an $8,500 bred heifer by Thriller sold to Josh Enlow in 2014. Another daughter of this great cow and sired by Wooly Bully sold to Jeffrey Sanchez for $10,000 in 2011. LOT 465 – This is the hardest muscled and coolest bull in this stout group of bulls. This bull is bred and built to raise champion slick shearing steers. He is great hipped and heavy enough muscled to work on Brahman and American-cross cows.

Maturity and Perseverance Of all that I have learned, or have noticed in the past years, one or two certain things stick out in my mind. The trend of offering large groups of bred heifers, in club calf female sales, has become one of tradition. As sellers of this age of cattle, raised in this environment, we let go of many bred heifers that prove to be worth much more than their sale price. I suspect this reoccurring happening lends itself to maturity and the ability of a buyer to recognize the difference in a young female vs. a more mature one. Year after year, I see younger, less developed cattle sell way under sale average and turn around to be some of the best in the business. The ability to evaluate cattle skeletally, based on age and condition, and not compare them to more mature livestock is important. This is not easy to do, and the people who are really good at it have been doing it a long time. The other thing that I have learned over time is the ability of a buyer to stick with it and persevere through the trials of proving the worth of seedstock. Cattle are not like other livestock in regards to gestation period—it just takes more time for all of this to happen. It can take several years for a cow to prove herself. I have seen people enter this business, buy a great cow and get discouraged only after one year. Many times in these situations, the cow usually ends up proving herself, only after the buyer has traded her off. I am proud to still be involved with the Cream of the Crop after fourteen years. It has been fun to see this operation grow and these cow families develop. For as much as things have changed, the goal here has stayed the same, and this family is as good an example as any for perseverance and truly believing in what you are producing. Take the time to visit the offering…it will be a rewarding experience and one that you will enjoy. Over the years, honesty in photography has been a big subject. Photography is an artwork to me. I do not possess the desire to make every image perfect, and the imperfections in the photo tell as much of a story as the perfect images do. If we learn to study the structure and dimension of an animal, the need for an “always appealing image” will go away. The photos that grace these pages are “as is.” April is the end of winter in this country, and these cattle are just starting to heal from the environment. To me, these pictures simply tell a story. We were fortunate this year to have record rainfall and green grass in the picture pen. Study these cattle closely. Kris taught me about structure and type in cattle as much as anyone. The hip, the balance and the dimension of these genetics are second to none, and they are a result of many years of breeding.
