C FMGF BLUE’S IMPACT 001X GHGF 2Z1 ET GHGF TRUMP TRAIN C521 10 Here is just a May heifer who we think has a world of potential. This girl came off the cow a little skinnier than we had hoped and wasn’t ready for our online sale, so we elected to hold her back and give her a little more time and boy are we glad we did! She has flat turn it on and once she turned the corner she sure hasn’t looked back. This Trump x Kali female is one that is not only royally bred but one we think has all the right parts to be a big contender come next summer and into the fall. So good built, bold centered and extra sound and flexible on the move with the attractive, square build that we are coming to expect from the Trump calves. Add that with the winning ability that the Kali cow family has proven time and time again to have and I think it’s pretty clear this girl is bound for big things both in the show ring and after in production. 11

Here is one that I think flat screams donor cow prospect and one that we are probably nuts for letting go of! If there was ever a no miss mating and a close to sure bet female to leave our place this girl is it! A Homo Black Homo Polled Purebred out of Blues Impact and Austin’s Jenna donor cow who not only was a Bred and Owned champion at Jr Nationals herself but has produced most all of Austin’s bred and owned cattle through the years. This girl is exactly what we looked forward to when we bred Jenna to Blue’s Impact super powerful, extremely low maintenance/ easy keeping, massive in her center body yet still super sound and comes with an attractive brood cow look. No matter if you are in the market for a purebred show heifer or your next donor this girl will fit the bill because I can promise you once she hits production and the donor pen she is sure to become a highlight in any program.

Here’s the culmination of what the cattle business is all about! This is your opportunity to buy an outstanding BA75% first calf heifer by Lifeline out of a double-bred Maverick son, Sampson with a new balancer show heifer prospect at her side by PVF Insight. Nobody could write a better script to be in the seedstock business than this lot has to offer. Fredonia has been shown successful by the Tilghman’s grandson from the National Junior Heifer Show to the KY State Fair and both the NAILE Junior Show and Open Show and was Pleasant Meadows 2019 NAILE Futurity entry. Weather kept us from getting her picture for the catalog, so they allowed us to use her NAILE 2019 picture. The only things missing are to see her perfect teat and udder and that outstanding PVF Insight heifer calf at her side. Super gentle, super correct, super feminine, and just flat super good! Nuff said! Pedigree perfect and balanced EPD’s, and super performance make her a great breeding piece. Heifer calf (tattoo # 025H) is sired by the great Angus sire: PVF Insight.

This ¾ Blue’s Impact is easily one of my personal favorites out of the fall heifer group this year and has been since the get go. 866F is exactly the kind of female we have come to expect from Blue’s Impact and it’s her kind that you can really never go wrong with because you can always count on them to do their part of paying the bills. Moderate, extremely sound, easy keeping, super maternal in their build and come with the added power and body it takes to be the front pasture kind. Add that with the fact that she charts 8 traits in the top 35% or higher for the breed and comes from a no miss cow family that has been around since Walter and Lee started in the breed well over 30 years ago and I think it’s safe to say the guess works done for you on this girl.

Kentucky Department of Agriculture
Dear friends, Welcome to the 34th Annual Kentucky Farm Bureau Beef Expo! Through the ups and downs of the beef cattle market, the Beef Expo has held steady, averaging a million dollars in annual sales over the last five years. We hope this year’s event will be no different. At the Beef Expo, cattlemen show and sell some of the best cattle in the country to buyers looking to upgrade their herd genetics or take home a show project. The leading beef cattle state east of the Mississippi River, Kentucky, truly is the place to be for the beef industry on the first weekend in March. The Kentucky Department of Agriculture (KDA) is hard at work to help cattle producers succeed. The KDA seeks new domestic and foreign markets for Kentucky Proud agricultural products, and last year I named a longtime leader in Kentucky agriculture, Tim Hughes, to head up our trade efforts. The Office of the State Veterinarian works with our partners at USDA, Kentucky’s two veterinary diagnostic laboratories, and private veterinary practice to protect Kentucky livestock and poultry from foreign animal diseases and eradicate disease outbreaks when they occur. While you’re in Louisville, we hope you’ll take the time to enjoy Kentucky Proud foods in some of the dozens of restaurants in Louisville’s nationally acclaimed local food scene. Again, welcome, and best wishes on an enjoyable and successful Kentucky Farm Bureau Beef Expo. If I or any of my staff can be of service to you, please don’t hesitate to ask. Sincerely,
Ryan F. Quarles Commissioner of Agriculture Commonwealth of Kentucky

For the last 34 years, the Kentucky Farm Bureau (KFB) Beef Expo has served as a premiere showcase of some of the best beef cattle In the region, and this year will be no exception.
Whether you are buying, selling, showing or spectating, the expo is the place to be to see just how strong the cattle industry is in this state, and why Kentucky has become one of the top beef cattle producing states in the country, and certainly the largest east of the Mississippi.
We are very proud of that fact and are fortunate to be in a place where our producers take such great pride in being a part of one of the top sectors of our entire agricultural industry.
Over the years we have seen Kentucky’s cattle industry, as a whole, grow in numbers and quality which not only benefits our cattle operations, but other ag sectors in our state, as well.
The cattle industry here represents 12 percent of the state’s overall farm cash receipts of $5.9 billion. With these kinds of numbers, it shows how important Kentucky’s cattle farms are to the efforts of keeping our rural communities sustainable, and a vital component of the Commonwealth’s economic development endeavors.
