Cattlemen, here is a chance to mate one of our top donor cows to the bull of your choice. There is a ton of breeding versatility in this cow. 8101U could be mated many different ways and make elite progeny to fit any scenario. She is super stout and powerful being very bold in her rib and truly wide and impressive from behind. In a unique way, she combines this power with an attractive look from the side as she’s clean and extended up front and level in her lines. Also, don’t forget she produced our Balancer heifer that had a good show career in the junior ranks last year, bringing home reserve champion honors at the Junior Classic in 2012, and hanging the champion banner at the National Western Stock Show junior show in 2013. We have had great success with 8101U at Pope Farms with Jeff Pope doing our embryo work, however, we are willing to work with your embryologist as well. 8101U will calve in early February and she will be ready to flush by mid-April. We are guaranteeing 8 embryos with the choice to buy the remainder at a prorated price.

Selling half embryo interest and full possession with the option to double down and own 100% of this elite donor prospect. This tremendous opportunity is only available as we needed elite females to kick off our inaugural sale. Only once in history has Cedar Top Ranch ever let go of a female from the 442D cow family. 301N, her dam, has surfaced to the top at CTR as 442D has. 7124T in her short time at CTR has had two bulls lead off the CTR bull sales. Last year we offered choice of our 2012 born heifer calf crop and LeDoux Ranch picked the daughter of 7124T for $9,000. She is tremendous in her mating opportunities as 7124T has clicked with all her matings and is sure to produce several top progeny in her future being a third generation proven donor. At CTR they have to prove themselves in production on the pasture before going to the donor pen. You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get this opportunity very often and this could be the best cow to sell in the Gelbvieh breed in some time, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let this one get away!

It was really challenging to let this female sell as she is the best Balancer donor cow I own. Scott Starr tried to buy this female when he saw her as a wet 2-year-old raising her first calf, so when he called for this sale, she was the first thing he asked about. Having recently flushed 841U, I decided to sell her retaining one flush of 8 transferable embryos at my expense. The fertility of 841U is incredible. She has never missed AI, we flushed her once and have kept her in production. Longevity of her Right Time dam is just as impressive and her sire About Time has made the best females I have ever seen. About Time is a maternal brother to Sandman, who has been so popular with a more maternal pedigree. This is one of the best cows to be offered anywhere in the country. She was bred May 1 to CTR Sandhills, the $42,000 Balancer bull that topped Cedar Top’s sale and is making a name with the owners. 841U’s 2013 heifer calf is by Sandhills and is my best heifer calf weaned this year. A no miss cow!

Here is a once in a lifetime opportunity to purchase an awesome ¾ blood, homozygous polled, diluter free, red bred heifer with proven potential. We made this mating with this heifer in mind. Here is a donor quality female that can propel your program into the future. She’s got it all. She is phenomenally sound structured, smooth made and easy moving with the pedigree and performance to match. She ratio’d 106 WW, 102 YW, with ultrasound scan ratios of 109 REA and 120 IMF, in a group of 100+ heifers. It doesn’t stop there. She is sired by the popular Balancer bull DLW Red Power 583U. Her maternal grand sire, Flying H Landmark 051P, was the top selling bull in our MSH FHG FULL SEASON sale and out of a long time G196 donor cow that has put lots of high quality females in our herd. Her maternal grand dam, Flying H 218P is currently a donor cow and was sired by the National Champion Gelbvieh Bull Flying H Full Season. This is a complete and solid, no holes female with pedigree, performance and phenotype. She was pregchecked AI bred to Flying H 189U (AMGV1082356), a Balancer BR Midland son on 4/22/2013 and due to calve 1/28/2014. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to own a very unique one of a kind female. FLYING H GENETICS

The genetic opportunity we are offering is out of one of the most exciting young purebred females we have ever raised. Legacy is a stout, rugged made brood cow deluxe. With the power and mass that she possesses, she still maintains an elegant feminine look. She has already established a successful track record in the showring; however we feel her best days are ahead of her as an elite donor cow. She is sired by the popular Buddy Boy bull and out of the 2007 National Champion Gelbvieh Female Ms TY 5182R, who has been a productive donor cow for us. BVLK Z202 comes with a balanced set of EPDs and offers above average growth numbers with a weaning weight ratio of 112.

Opportunities represented in this sale rarely come about. Ms Edison 321A is one of the special females to sell this year in the Gelbvieh breed! Sired by DLW Edison 6718X, the 2012 Balancer futurity champion bull, is only the start of her introduction. This awesome open heifer also gathered attention when she ran away with the calf division at the Nebraska State Fair and went on to be reserve champion female that day. Her overall volume and body will blow you away as she carries that brood cow look in a stunning phenotype. Being only the second calf to nurse her super moderate young cow, this family has proven itself at Warner Beef. A maternal sister made her way to Denver as well and turned heads in her only outing! 321Aâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grandmother consistently places bulls in our annual bull sale and has a startling female in the 2013 replacement heifer group. This female can show and is destined to be in a donor pen. She is homozygous DLW EDISON 6718X black, homozygous polled and entered in Denver!

What an opportunity to enhance a program with a female like this. 314A will catch your eye at first impression and then after further evaluation, it is very difficult to fault this female. Lots of extension up front and angular from every angle! Add this with the correctness of her national champion sire and a set of numbers that lead the breed, gives this lot several stars. Take notice of two of the most productive females in the entire breed in her pedigree. EGL G565 needs no introduction as she has produced more futurity champions and national champions than any other single cow! On the other side is JJâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s J915 cow who has always brought in the good ones and placed several progeny into seedstock operations. This female is destined for several championships if you choose to show her, but her true value lies in the ability to propagate breed leading genetics in an eye pleasing package. She is entered in Denver and gentle enough for XXB INSIDIOUS 612Y exhibitors of any level.

BABR 3350A ET is a unique daughter of ALLC Extra Special and Barstow Cash. We purchased Extra Special a few years back to use in our donor program, at the age of 11 she averaged 15 number 1 eggs per flush on a total of 10 flushes. She is also the mother to Hott Damn 31L who has become one of the most exciting producers we have ever had the opportunity to own. This is a cow family that offers a lot of consistency and longevity, putting it simply these cows just work. Bulls sold from this line in the 2013 sale season averaged $8,500 per head and there have been two national champions since 2009 (BMB Extra Hott in 2009 and BABR Guenivere 1015Y in 2013). There are numerous herd sires being used in both commercial and purebred herds. We do not let many females from this cow family leave the ranch and it was a difficult decision to do so, but we feel that BABR 3350A ET has a lot of potential and will do great things for the Gelbvieh breed. She is an exciting breeding piece and is the type that is sure to become a prominent producer.Â

RWG Arizona Chick 3517 is a complete made, mid-May born heifer calf from the very top of our breeding program. RWG 3517 was selected to be a part of this event to offer a unique pedigreed purebred female that could truly become a cornerstone to any breeding program. RWG 3517 is bred to shine in the breeding pasture and should be the kind that can flat out raise herd bulls. Sired by FLAD Dracula 57Y, the lead off bull from the 2012 PGA Sale, who has left an exceptional first set of progeny that offer great performance and calving ease. Her dam, RWG Chick 9103, is a top RWG Royal Reserve 5066 daughter who has been very productive. Chick 9103`s first son, RWG Why-Me 9515, was a stand out who now calls home in Nova Scotia. Her second calf is our favourite PHG Wizard W27 bred heifer and RWG 3517 is her third calf. With three different matingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and all seedstock quality, RWG 9103 has quickly rose to the top of the program being one of our most productive young females. RWG 9103 is a paternal sister to RWG Traction 7412 and also carries VG 68N ET as her grand sire; a bull that is recognized for producing some of the most moderate and productive females in the breed. RWG Arizona Chick 3517 will make a great addition to any breeding program!
