2015 NWSS The One Catalog by Eberspacher Enterprises

Welcome

to the 23rd Anniversary of “The One” Simmental Sale! Mile High Magic continues in 2016. The positive part of livestock breeders is that we are eternal optimists and roll with the flow of up and down markets and trends... bottom line is that high quality cattle have always and will always demand a premium. We wake up each day dreaming of the next great one and with every year, the Denver Sale offering makes the possibilities of those dreams coming true. As we watched the past 22 years of “The One” Sales, it is so humbling to be a part of the event where the progressive breeders have worked so hard to make progress in the industry. It is also a reality that the popularity of this breed did not happen overnight and many may not realize the dedication of breeders to make the needed change. When the breed headed down the wrong road of impracticality, it was a long haul to make this breed back to being really practical and industry accepted. So it needs to be the goal of all breeders that are raising Simmental cattle, purebred or percentage, to do the right thing to keep this breed where we need to be and to keep the Simmental female as the number one cow in the industry and the bulls doing all the right things… calving easily, adding hybrid vigor, performance while keeping soundness the upmost priority. The goal is always to keep the breeders in the profit line on the bankers spread sheet. We believe that the long time breeders that have made the trip to Denver have the right focus to continue to make this breed of choice. The many years it took is indescribable but worth every minute - we are on the right track, let’s continue that way. As we approach the 23rd “The One Sale”, it is obvious that this event does not happen without many people who rarely receive a thank you. We are fortunate to have many talented people assist with the Denver events: The Colorado Simmental Association with their countless hours, the entire NW staff, and ASA/Register staff, EDJE Technologies, and everyone at liveauctions.tv for the marketing assistance and everyone that is part of Team EE on full time and part time basis! A big Mile High Magic thank you to the prominent breeders that are an integral part to this sale and our breed. The ASA Foundation and the AJSA youth continue to be a top priority for everyone at EE Inc. This year, we are honored to gather support for the AJSA Scholarships with a female right out of heart of the herd from Ed & Kathi Rule of Shoal Creek Land & Cattle. The entire Shoal Creek team has always been so supportive of the AJSA youth and it is our honor and privilege to showcase this firm under the bright lights of Denver! Thank you to the elite breeders that have contributed to the Foundation in the past, this sale has helped so many young Simmental breeders follow their dreams. Remember that all donations, great or small, contribute to the ability of the ASA Foundation to do wonderful things. We invite you once again to Denver for all the Magical Moments in the Mile High City! Sincerely, Val & Lori Eberspacher and Kelly Schmidt Eberspacher Enterprises Inc.

SC Antoinette R52, Dam

We are truly honored to have the opportunity to be the 2016 Foundation donor and be able to show our appreciation for the breed that has been a part of our lives for over 30 years. While we have seen many changes in the breed over that time, the one thing that remains constant is the people. We cherish our friendships and relationships with our fellow breeders and truly enjoy helping junior members succeed and grow into respectable cattlemen and cattlewomen. When we committed to offering the Foundation heifer, we knew that we wanted to offer one of our best that brings forth the fundamentals of quality that we believe in; power, presence, and balance. SC Antoinette C25 does just that. Her powerful pedigree combines the popular Pays to Dream sire with SC Antoinette R52, a donor from the heart of the Shoal Creek herd that is a direct daughter of the prolific Antoinette K205, whose influence is felt in many herds. In person, she has the style and presence to turn heads. Her angular design, deep center, and sound set of feet and legs complement the striking profile she presents. Along with her powerful pedigree and presence in person, she is still able to combine it with a very balanced set of genetic predictors on paper that read with longevity and brood cow potential. It is our pleasure and an honor to donate SC Antoinette C25 and join the list of breeders on the Foundation Honor Roll.

It’s with great pride that we offer you 307Y, a donor that we feel sets the standard for the Simmental breed. A member of the Blackstar family, the consistency and fertility this cow family carries is unparalleled. 307Y is an impressive female. Study her picture as I would be hard pressed to draw one better. Phenotypically, she’s nearly ideal. In a day and age of trying to produce cattle to win shows and take cool pictures, some major structural issues have become prevalent. 307Y has NONE! She’s flexible from the hock to the ground, all four point straight forward and she stands on a big foot. In production, she’s a good uddered female that has raised two stout heifer calves while maintaining a 20 plus embryo average per flush. At public auction, 307Y embryos have averaged over $2,000 per egg and live offspring many many times that. As proof of her consistent production, we will have a pen of 3 open females in Denver, selling pick of the pen as lots 41, 41A and 41B. 307Y has been to the North American twice now, being champion cow/calf on both occasions. While on display at the NAILE, a fellow breeder commented “What a marvelous individual, you simply cannot poke a hole in her.” 307Y calved in April of 2015 and sells in her entirety, open and ready to flush.

After a few late night talks in the barn office, the C&C crew and Circle T decided to offer a flush out of the core of both programs. Miss CCF Sheza Looker descends from the C&C cornerstone Fantasy tribe, and has time and time again proven to be one of the elite Simmental females in the country. An opportunity of this magnitude is near impossible to come across and will prove to be a invaluable investment. Looker’s offspring has us expecting females that will strike a pose and move with structural finesse, while their brothers will be real deal cow changers. We are leaving it up to you and your imagination on how to breed this female, but no matter the direction you go, Looker will not disappoint. We are guaranteeing 8 good embryos with an open top.

Once and a lifetime opportunity! The decision to offer the right to flush “Becca” was not one that we took lightly. She is one of the best purebred females that walks since her mother STF Onyx graced the earth with her presence. Add in the winningest bull of the last few years, Broker, and look out because this one has the goods. A stout, powerful female that can get out and move, is awesome fronted and a baldy face. Put together her breeding and the phenotype she has and you have the making of what could be one of the greatest earning opportunities out there. Carlie Henderson and her have been holding their own in the show ring this summer winning banners from Iowa to Texas and they aren’t about to back down.

The name tells the story and A142 is all that and more. Sale feature for RS&T Simmentals, LLC this own daughter of the JS Untouchable 21U donor and out of the widely popular W/C Wide Track 694Y is outstanding. This sharp fronted, bold ribbed, good boned female has donor potential. Jordan Cowger exhibited this heifer all over the country and now she is sharing in the wealth of these genetics, only due to the fact we still own the factory. Placing in the top ten bred and owned females at the 2014 North Central Regional and carrying the service of our new herd sire W/C Sniper 41B makes A142 a solid investment. We will be exhibiting an fall pen of bulls out of Untouchable X Steel Force in the yards, stop by and checkout A142 and the bulls in our yard pen. Sniper is an own son of the Werning donor KP 8543U and a son of the outcross Remington Lock and Load 54U bull. This will be the first offspring out of Sniper and we are excited about his unlimited potential. Resulting planned mating has 13 EPDs either at or above breed average. This female is truly special out of the Untouchable donor and crossing with the 8543U family makes the resulting calf “The One” that should be on every breeders list. Due right at March 1, 2016 to Sniper. Genetics are right, mating is awesome and the phenotype of this female is truly special.

This one is going to make on heck of a cow. Big bodied, deep, and sound on her feet and legs are just a few ways to describe her. Then take a look at her on paper, very well rounded and an outcross to boot. This is one of my favorite cow families on the farm and this will be the absolute last time we offer genetics out of her mother because we lost her recently. Paige Henderson has had great success campaigning this female over the last year and a maternal sister was Reserve Grand Champion Purebred at the Iowa State Fair. This one just keeps improving with age. I feel that the next chapter in her life is to lay down and calve a ticket that should pay for her. The mating to Wide Range will produce a 5/8 calf that could be a great breeding piece whether it be a heifer or bull. Then let her go to the front pasture and become a donor that can produce great SimGenetic progeny. When you get to “The Yards” make sure to find this one, you won’t be disappointed.

Dams of these great herd bulls available to pick from!

Just as cattle backed by proven pedigrees tend to perform, family farms and ranches owe their existence to their “roots” or pedigrees. One generation’s sweat, foresight and love pave the way for the next generation’s opportunity and potential success. The present generation at Hook Farms is fortunate to have been able to “stand on the shoulders” of the giants in the Hook family. Hook Farms started when Eugene Frank Hook moved to SW Minnesota and purchased rich, fertile land in 1900. Bert Eugene Hook grew the diversified crop and livestock farm from 1930 to 1960 and my father, Eugene Bert Hook, possessed the vision to improve the genetics in our cowherd with the purchase of our first Simmental seedstock in the fall of 1973. For over 42 years, Hook Farms has believed in the genetic contribution and improvement the Simmental and SimAngus™ gene pool can make to the beef industry. The founding fathers (giants) of the American Simmental Association, whose shoulders we now stand upon, had the foresight for an open herdbook and performance testing of all progeny. Additionally, they encouraged healthy competitions at bull tests, carcass futurities and shows. Since 1973, Hook Farms has strived to breed seedstock excelling in all aspects of this vision, hence the “Bred For Balance” brand. Whether a champion banner from the Hill or in the yards, an ADG winner at a bull test, or a top sire group for feed efficiency in the ASA Carcass Merit Program, Hook Farms’ seedstock has performed. It is with much excitement and anticipation Hook Farms offers the genetic opportunity to select any female from our herd: donors, brood matrons, elite bred heifers and cutting edge open heifers. Capitalize on our decades of breeding seedstock excelling in a multitude of genetic traits as we will provide complete performance, pedigree and genetic information to assist you in your selection. From purebred to percentage; calving ease to carcass; API to TI and pedigree to phenotype, you will truly find seedstock bred for all aspects of the beef industry. We welcome you to Minnesota to select this elite female which provides you the opportunity to build your genetic foundation to stand on for the next generation.

WW: N/A LLSF Uprising Z925 Heads Up 20X ET LLSF Untouchable U925 Double R Kashmere T8 CNS Dream On L186 HWF Kashmere We have always committed to bring the best bull we have to Denver, in our opinion we have done that again in 2016 with WS Revolution C6, the first embryo calf we have had out of this mating. When you study Revolution, he is a big hipped, bold sprung bull that is smooth about his shoulder and ties into a long clean neck. Revolution is a big footed, big boned bull that is very athletic in his movement when in motion, we brought our best to Denver. Study his pedigree and we think you would agree that it is full of “black type” genetics. His sire, Uprising was the high seller in this very sale in 2013 and has went on to prove himself as a true “Breed Changer”, including the record selling Simmental bull in this sale last year, Revival. His dam, Double R Kashmere is sired by a bull that has stood the test of time, Dream On and out of a legendary cow, HWF Kashmere. The Kashmere cow family has done it all, study the cow family, top donor cows, high selling bulls, show winners, it’s amazing how one cow family could do so much for the Simmental breed. Foreman Cattle Co. And Walsh Simmentals reserve 200 units of semen a year for the lifetime of the bull.

The Fireman reminds me so much of his sire, Turning Point, who was only here for a very short time and if he was still alive, would be making a big impact in the Simmental breed. Since there is such a limited supply of semen on Turning Point, it will be up to the Fireman to come to the rescue! I’ve never been around such a stout bull that sets the scales down, but still maintains a really good look about him and is so soundly structured.

SS Babys Breath, Dam

This baldy had won our hearts since he was 10 days old and we have always known this one was special. He sure created a lot of fireworks when he walked on to the green chips in Lousiville this year. After several people tried to buy him ring side and with a Reserve Overall Purebred Bull banner hanging behind him, we decided the only fair way was to put him up for public auction. We feel extremely humbled of all the compliments we received on him from breeders of not only the Simmental industry but from other breeds as well. We know a bull of this caliber doesn’t happen everyday and this bull ties so many good things together it is hard to know where to start. Homozygous Black and Homozygous Polled. So soft in his design and structure, extremely cool necked (enough so the club calf people will be lined up for this one), big ribbed, great haired and has a teddy bear disposition. His mother is no stranger to the lime light. She has produced more champions and high sellers for us than any female we have ever been associated with. Her Broker daughter HILB Crazy N Love A475S owned with Trey Jass, IA was Grand Champion Female in Louisville a year ago and Grand in both the Junior and Open show in Denver last year. The Simmental breed has been eagerly anticipating and waiting for the next great purebred Simmental bull to come along and Oracle may very well be just the ticket. We have had a huge amount of semen interest in this guy already and now all we need is a partner or partners to join in and help navigate the ride. Selling full possession and 2/3 semen interest. Please come find us in the yards to discuss the possibilities.

Growing up over the ES A85 years, I always followed the program of John Christensen and the 3C program. In last year’s Denver sale when John opened the doors to the pick of his herd, I immediately became interested. HTP Simmentals teamed up with Sloup Simmentals and secured that pick at $17,000. The hardest part, however highly enjoyable, was next going through data and selecting from over 800 females. We passed up the young females and went to the breds and cows. The first female we came across was A85. This baldy Lock N Load x Duff Basic Instinct was a strong selection and was purchased as high selling bred at $22,000 at the fall Eichacker sale. A85 is super complete with loads of eye appeal plus is homozygous polled and homozygous black. John replied that if we were interested we could have half interest in two animals. Off to make the second selection, we kept coming back to a powerful solid black female X0781. This female not only looked amazing, she had John’s second high bull at weaning and number one at yearling, plus an individual that he was retaining for the future of the 3C program. X0781 is sired by TNT Tanker out of a 3C Lava cow and is homozygous polled and homozygous black. Both of these outstanding breeding pieces will be utilized by HTP, Sloup and 3C. The baldy Lock N Load was flushed to the breed leader, Hooks Shear Force and we are offering three embryos. This should be a hit with loads of potential. On the X0781 donor, we will be offering three embryos out of Hooks Broadway. Broadway was the high seller at Hook Farms and was purchased by the respected programs of Gibbs Farm and Cow Camp along with Select Sires. The data, EPDs and genetic merit on this mating will be future breeding pieces. Also, we are offering a heifer calf pregnancy due in April by Hooks Broadway. At the age of eleven, I never dreamed all this would happen! However, the best part was going through all the animals with John himself plus Drew, Knox and Dad. I am proud to be a Simmental breeder and look forward to the future. Call Drew, Dad, Nick, John or myself for further details.

This girl is one that anyone would be proud to take home to mom. Honey I’m Good is the kind of female that looks really good in her work clothes, but when she gets all cleaned up for the big city light watch out because WOW she looks good. Pedigree alone on this female is impressive. Sired by Broker, a bull who needs no introductions and out of Reflection this female is a no brainer. We have sold several maternal sibs to this female both sisters and brothers in Denver over the past years. They have always commanded top dollar and have gone to some of the most discriminate breeders. Take Honey home and have fun in the show ring with her, she will be very competitive all year. But the real fun begins when she hits the donor pen. We believe so much in this female that we are reserving one successful flush of eight (8) transferable embryos at our expense and your convenience.

The following year, she placed 6 daughters (maternal sisters to 83C) in their sale that gathered up a grand total of $97,000. Without question, an extremely potent cow family in terms of consistently generating highly productive and extremely marketable offspring. We are extremely excited to be offering this long necked, wide hipped, sound structured W/C United daughter that is backed by generations of bold sprung, wide bodied, easy fleshing brood matrons with built in longevity, fertility, udder quality and optimum milk production. There are a long list of reasons why the Donna cow family is writing it’s own page in the history books and 83C will exemplify all of them and add to it a little extra show ring appeal.

Yet another reason why we truly believe in the ability of Grand Fortune to produce the right kind of cattle. Emerald is the natural calf of one of our most consistent producing cows on the farm, Sparkle. This cow family has made a foot print on our operation that will be tuff to fill. A full sib to Emerald was Reserve Calf Champion in Denver last year. A maternal sib to Emerald, TNGL Glimmer X368, has become a top end producer for us generating over $100,000 in sales as a 3 yr old. Emerald follows suit with the phenotypic superiority that this cow family is known for; long fronted, big bodied, and powerfully constructed. If there is any question about the quality and earning potential of this female, then look on the other side of her pedigree to take care of any doubts! Emerald is the kind that will keep you in the cattle business for the long haul.

We all know that breeding great cattle isn’t quite that straight forward. However, the consistency of the famed AJE Gabby on the maternal side and the red hot Uprising on the top side of the pedigree does spell success. This black baldy purebred has inherited the fleshing ability and easy going attitude of her sire. Wide based and super sound on the move, Rising Lady is the complete package. Very few Simmental cattle have the proven earning potential on the dam’s side of the pedigree. I think we have only begun to see the earning potential of the Uprising sire group. Tremendous opportunity awaits the new owner.

I never get tired of writing footnotes for 54S because she gives me so much ammunition. Two years ago, we sold a heifer that calved in Denver, a heifer that was the darling in the yards. Chris Effling made a wise choice snatched her up at $17,000. He sold the heifer for $9,000 and embryos at $900 to make a quick return. Last year, we sold a High Regard out of the stall to Muellers for $25,000 that won her class and division in the next and had a very successful summer winning many shows. The next day at “The One” sale we sold another High Regard for $12,000 and 6 embryos by 54S for $1,750 each. A bred Dominance this fall sold for $15,000 to Gene Rowe. The list goes on and on!

The first calf we sold out of her hammered down at 8,000 at this years Field of Dreams. We have retained many daughters from last years calf crop and are excited to get them in production. We saw this ole Triple C Sale topper at Indian Creek Simmentals in Ohio. She is truly something to look at, awesome structured, loads of shape and belly, monster footed, and still very sweet through her front end. Her pedigree is Dream ON and Legacy free. We knew she would be a great fit for our donor program. Although there is not much progeny out there at this point because Indian Creek switched to a commercial program early in her life. The progeny that is out there has been successful in the show ring and in production. Here’s a great opportunity to get in on the ground level of a female that will be rising quickly.
