CFCC BLACK JACK 001
We are beginning our sale with a powerful offering of leading edge genetics from one of the most valuable young cows in our donor lineup, Barstow Queen Z76. Queen Z76 is a powerful daughter of Upward, out of the same cow who produced the wildly popular A.I. sire, Barstow Cash. Few other bulls have emerged in the past decade who can match the calving ease, performance, uniformity and quality that Barstow Cash is siring in herds across the nation. The matings being offered to you in lots 1, 1A, 1B & 1C present a rare opportunity to join Krebs Ranch and Barstow Angus Ranch in advancing the genetic strides made by Barstow Cash one step further…to an even higher and more exciting level. If you are the kind of person who would rather be on the front side of genetic progress, then these embryos from the maternal sister to Barstow Cash deserve serious attention. They will move the needle in the right direction!

Here is a definite sale feature. This is a select offering from the prestigious WK Blackbird 5066 female, who muscled her way to the forefront of our donor arsenal with her phenomenal production in our 2014 calf crop. In that calf crop, 8 sons of 5066 earned their way into the Krebs Ranch Bull Sale where they averaged over $16,300.00. Included in the 8, were 2 sons (pictured) that were feature members of our 2015 Reserve Champion Carload in Denver. This mating to the highly popular Alta genetics sire Connealy Earnan, who sold for a record $235,000.00, wil compliment her phenotype and genotype, very well. We have more elite progeny by 5066 on the ground right now that will be promoted by Krebs Ranch in 2015-2016…join us for the ride as the value of Blackbird 5066, and her progeny, rise higher and higher.

Valuable and hard to find Barstow Cash embryos from the leading carload bull producing cow family at Krebs Ranch…the Erica’s. WK Erica 0065 is a granddaughter of the foundation Bon View Erica 2127 who was Eldon’s $65,000.00 selection of the historic Leachman Cattle Co. dispersal. The dam of 0065, WK Erica 5054, carries the distinct honor of having EVERY son she ever produced (5 sons), make the cut for our Denver carload group. Those sons went on to average $12,187 in Krebs Ranch Bull Sales between 2008 & 2013. In the process, she earned an incredible production record of BW-6@99, WW-6@107, YW-6@106, IMF-5@111, RE 5@109. Now, here’s the best part…WK Erica 0065, is the ONLY daughter in production from the remarkable Erica 5054! And, she is well on her way to matching her mother’s records with 2 progeny posting ratios of 95 at birth and 108 aw weaning. This is an opportunity to own BARSTOW CASH progeny from a highly proven and highly profitable cow family which is truly deserving of the title…HERD BULL FACTORY!

SUMMITCREST EMPRESS 09W0 X MOGCKS BULLSEYE Sire: 17102085 Dam: 16874499
More and more every year, Angus seedstock producers are searching for and paying premium prices for 2 things…powerful, high-quality cattle and outcross genetics. These embryos fit into both categories. The Empress 09W0 donor was hand-picked by Eldon as one of his favorite cows in the Summitcrest dispersion. She is the picture of what a good Angus donor should be with femininity, body, correctness, and a beautiful udder. She went straight into our embryo program and delivered her first calf crop at Krebs Ranch in 2014. From that calf crop, 4 good sons went on to sale in our most recent 2015 Krebs Ranch Bull Sale where they averaged $11,125 dollars, topped by a son who fetched $15,500. The sire of these embryos, Bullseye, is a leading seller at Accelerated Genetics. He made history in 2012 when he became the highest valued bull every to sell in the state of South Dakota at $192,000.00. We have full sibs to these embryos on the ground right now…and if they continue to impress us as much as they impress us today, the purchase of these embryos will prove to be a very smart investment.

THONE ALLIANCE 187-651 “ALLY” X VAR ROCKY 80029 Sire: 16160601 Dam: 16319287
If you’ve been on a cow herd tour of Krebs Ranch the past couple of summers, you’ve no doubt seen the mother of these embryos. We’ve nicknamed her the “Wow Cow”, because when folks spot her in the pasture the say…”Wow, who’s that one??” She is a feast for the eyes with tremendous power throughout her body and hip. We have put in quite a few of these Ally x Rocky embryos ourselves and it has worked really well for us, here at the ranch. In fact, we had 5 full sibs to these embryos born…3 heifers and 2 bulls. We kept every daughter and both bulls made the bull sale, with one selling for $11,000.00. Count on these embryos to have power and stoutness in all the right places without giving up that all important look of quality, balance, and eye-appeal. “Ally” has earned production records of WW 3@111, YW 2@105, RE 5@103, on her natural calves. You will love the kind of cows these Rocky females are becoming. The #1 & #2 top selling bulls of the 2015 Krebs Ranch bull sale (lots 51 & 44) were each out of Rocky daughter

Success begets success. Great cows produce great results and there is no question that this donor is one who will deliver the goods. She is not only one of the most highly productive females in the Krebs Ranch program, but she is one of the “never-misses” donors in the entire offering. In her lifetime, “Cally” has earned an eye-popping production record of WW 6@110, YW 5@108, IMF 9@114, & RE 9@100. Cally first caught our attention when a natural son, by WK George, became one of the top selling bulls of our 2013 bull sale going to Travis Balvin of South Dakota. That bull has been a game changer, leaving a tremendous set of calves in the Balvin operation. We have raised several of these Cally x Hammer embryos here at the ranch and they are nice. We had 2 daughters born and kept them both. Can’t wait to see them in production, if they look like the rest of our Hammer daughters…it should be a homerun.

A power on power combination being offered with this Anita Lass x Rocky mating. Muscle thickness in Angus cattle is a trait that should never be taken for granted. Yet with many genetics, it is difficult to come by. That won’t be the case with the calves born from these embryos. Anita Lass not only displays power and performance when you study her visually, she also shows it through her own ultrasound and performance records. As a calf, she left her mother’s side with an impressive 111 weaning ratio and went on to scan a ribeye ratio of 106. Her progeny records show that she is passing that same power right thru to her calves with her 4 natural calves posting an average weaning ratio of 106. The sire of these embryos, VAR Rocky, is well known for siring added strength and muscle in his sons, and we are now seeing his young daughters become top producers in our own herd, and in herds all across America! Just how stout and beefy will these Anita Lass x Rocky calves be?? We can’t wait to see!

THONE TRAVELER 004-563 “LADY MAY” X PINE RIDGE HAMMER S322 Sire: 15643876 Dam: 16066904
The mother of these embryos is a donor who originated in the Charles Thoene herd, which we purchased upon his retirement. Those cows became what is now the fall calving cow herd at Krebs Ranch. Eldon took his favorite cows from the Thoene purchase and put them into embryo production, and Lady May was one of his top picks. This mating represents a highly maternal set of genetics from both the dam and sire side of these embryos. In fact Hammer, at 9 years of age, has climbed his way to the top of our herd sire EPD rankings, to become our #1 $B Kreb Ranch sire, at a whopping $136.56. To date, 2 full sibs have been born here at Krebs Ranch…1 bull and 1 heifer. The bull fetched $7000 in our 2013 bull sale, and the heifer was chosen, as a bred heifer, by Adam Kohler of Iowa as an addition to his good Angus program. Lady May has weaned 4 natural calves with an average ratio of 104.

Your Pick of the 2014 Krebs Ranch Fall born heifer calves.
Every year we have families and junior exhibitors call us with interest in showing a heifer from our fall calving program. So this year, we have decided to open up the doors and make an offering we’ve never made before…pick of the Krebs Ranch fall heifer calves. The heifers are sired by Cash, Identity, Joe Canada, South Dakota, Harvestor, and more. The heifers have all been pre-conditioned and are scheduled to be weaned in mid-April. The winning bidder is welcome to make their selection either before, or after weaning. Final selection must be made by May 1st. We invite you to stop by the ranch and inspect the offering…we think you will find them to your liking with heifers that will compete both at a state and national level.

Rare Semen Division
BARSTOW CASH SEMEN - 100 UNITS By now, most of you are aware that Barstow Cash sustained a leg injury last fall which forced us to take him out of semen production. First, we want to thank everyone who has called or asked about Cash’s condition…it has been overwhelming. We are pleased to report that, after some time off and treatment, Barstow Cash is beginning to slowly make some improvements. While collection is still uncomfortable for him, he is giving us about 1 jump per week. As was always the case with Cash, the semen quality is outstanding. To date, we have been able to collect enough semen to fulfill the needs of all the Cash owners, plus enough to make this offering of 100 units available to the public through this sale. No Barstow Cash semen has been sold by Krebs Ranch prior to this sale. Again, we greatly appreciate all of the phone calls we have received asking about Cash and requesting semen. Hopefully, this limited offering will help those of you who want to flush donors or breed cows to Barstow Cash, the ability to do so. If Cash continues to improve, we will try to release another offering of semen, if and when it becomes available.
Barstow Cash…the wait for semen is finally over!
