First and foremost, we would like to thank you for your consideration of T Bar S We the People 1077K. As a family, we are proud to offer this Homo Black & Homo Polled T Bar S Giddy Up 102D son for your appraisal. 1077K is perhaps the best combination of phenotype and genotype we have ever assembled. His 4.05 WDA let him wean at an adjusted 800lbs. He possesses 14 EPD traits better than 50% of the breed with highlights in the top 10% or better for WW, YW, MILK, and TM. Additionally, he is top 20% or better for HP and FPI. Visually is where this huge bodied wide built bull pulls it all together. He is rugged featured and practical in his size. He has been admired by visitors for his perfect foot shape and structural integrity. His seedstock style is completed with a balanced and attractive look on the profile. When it comes to the lineage, Giddy Up 102D has been a mainstay in our program with more quality replacements than we can count and as good of a set of bulls as we can offer year in and year out. B351 was our selection out of the mature cow group on the Eagle Pass dispersal and what a pick she was! Her Doc Holiday heifer calf was the $20,000 selection of the Moon family and We the People was her second calf born here. We truly cannot say enough good things about this bull, his

DCSF POST ROCK PROMINENT 139K8 ET POST ROCK CATTLE COMPANY Post Rock Prominent is a long spined, soggy made herd bull prospect. A bull that is made so correct and smooth every angle you look at him. Out of a flush that combines proven pedigrees and designed to make fault free cattle that are made for all cowmen alike. His sire Probity is a past futurity winner and has already sired one other futurity winner as well. There’s no question about the bull making ability in Prominent’s pedigree. But more exciting is the kind of females to be made. His dam 82F is a result of an embryo purchase from Cedar Top Ranch in our attempt to add the great 198L cow family to the Post Rock program. Be sure to stop by Post Rocks stall to see him and at least two other sons from this up-and-coming donor.

TAU LIMIT LOCK 20K ET TAUBENHEIM GELBVIEH TAU Limit Lock 20K is a Homozygous Black and Homozygous Polled Balancer that we feel does a lot of things right. Study his pedigree, he is stacked with breed leaders. Growth Fund needs no introduction, and his donor dam Ms. Gunnison 3088A has produced multiple A.I. sires for us over the years. Limit Lock’s phenotype is second to none. He is built right in his structure and correct in all of his angles. He is massive footed, thick ended and big middled. He backs up his powerful build with an impressive 847lb weaning weight. His EPD profile is just an added bonus as he ranks in the top 1% for WW, YW and CW.

Top Gun J011 is a herd sire prospect that consists of cow families that have been checking the correct boxes for several generations. I believe behind every great bull there is an even better cow. BGGR 7250E is a full sister to our 2014 Futurity Champion BGGR Gravity 803A. She is the ideal size and type of female that can strive in our challenging environment. Top Gun is sired by the popular EGL Game Changer bull. He has definitely made his mark on the breed with extra growth and carcass. His dam Evelynn U426 is one of the best Balancer females to come out of the Eagle Pass program. This herd bull prospect warrants him the name BGGR TOP GUN J011. He posted a 70 lb actual birthweight and 970 lb actual weaning weight, living on just grass and his mom. Those are TOP GUN stats in this operation. To sweeten the pot even more, look at his EPDs. Top 3% WW, YW, FPI, and 10% MB. He is Homo Polled with great feet! TOP GUN is one of the gentlest bulls that we have ever raised. Thank

for your consideration.
We are extremely excited to partner with our good friends the Baltzell family at Fox Fire Farms to bring you what we feel is a truly intriguing individual as our Balancer futurity entry this year. After they bought 2J4 as the high selling Balancer bull out of the Boys of the South Bull Sale, we were quick to get on the phone with them about letting us put him in the futurity and bring him to OKC for your consideration and after a lot of convincing they finally agreed! We couldn’t have been more pumped because we think this guy is one that has a ton to offer and can help continue to move the breed forward. While we will be the first to admit he might not be a true “show bull”, he is a true real world, cattlemen’s kind of bull that offers a ton of butt, guts and a set of breed leading EPDs that rank him in the top 1% for WW,YW,TM,CW,MARB, FPI 4% CREA 15% Milk & 40% PG30 all with a phenotype and structural build that even the biggest critics can appreciate no matter what sector of the industry. He backs it up with scale busting actual performance, added foot quality and power in the pedigree. This guy came out of one of the most consistent flushes we have ever done with him and his 2 flush mate brothers being phenotypic stand outs and all crossing the scale over 900 lb actual weaning weights. His being 926. Pedigree wise this guy brings a different twist as this set of flush mates were the first calves out of the hot young Genex sire Iconic to be registered in the breed and then his donor dam was a standout Post Rock I-Back purebred cow that is an outcross to today’s hot purebreds but traced back to some of the great old female makers of the breed. The 2U1 donor always raised some of our standout bulls and females and we unfortunately got started flushing on her way too late in life as we lost her due to injury at 13 years old. Be sure to look this guy up in OKC as we think you will agree that he brings a lot
to the table.
