We would like to take this opportunity to invite all cattlemen and women to our 41st annual Blue River Gang Sale. It is a fun time to be in the cattle business. Recent sales in the Midwest have six weights bringing around $2 pound or higher. Large parts of our region have been fortunate as of late receiving some much needed moisture and we continue to pray for more, and pray for those who are still dependent on moisture to continue their operations.
A huge thank you needs extended to our family and friends that make this day possible. There is a lot of work that happens the months and weeks prior to the sale to pull this day off. We have been very blessed over the years with great people that have came to help and make this day happen.
We are very excited to show off our offering this year. We feel this is one of the deepest sets yet. Our families thrive off success stories from last year and years past from our customers. We continue to breed for cattle that are functional, powerful, and have great eye appeal. When we get reports of feeders topping the local sales, calves winning shows, or fats performing on the grid that gets us excited to make the next great one year after year. We are confident that in this year’s offering there is an animal to fit your operation and needs. Thank you to our customers (new and old) for your continued support, we would not be able to continue our passion raising and breeding cattle if it was not for you. If you are new to our programs and have interest in the cattle feel free to reach out at any time. We love talking cattle.
With everyone’s chaotic schedules we have elected to go away from our futurity show held in the middle of summer. We still feel it is imperative to support our youth in the ag industry and we have put together the below program as an incentive.

CK Red Empire 9153G, Sire
This girl has been an absolute standout since birth. Her grand dam, owned by Lee Simmentals, is one of our favorite cows in the breed and this girl’s mother is gaining a lot of attention around the farm. Study her picture and video, she’s hard to poke a hole in. She thrives on paper as well having five traits in the top 20% of the breed. This is the front pasture kind, broke to tie.

Relentless 32C,
goes to the top of
a
heifer prospect. Study her picture and you will see the amount of power and performance she offers all while carrying it in an elegant design. The guess work is done on the pedigree side with her being a daughter of the great Relentless and going back to one of our top producing females that goes back to our top Angus donor 412. Broke to tie.
With this one’s look, design, and pedigree, she has cow power written all over her! These direct Lock N Load daughters are becoming hard to come by. Her dam is Black Pearl, a full sister to Red Jewel that has had a lot of success in the donor pen for Sloup and CTN Simmentals. This girl has a bright future and is capable of making the good ones. Broke to tie, would recommend an experienced showman.
BW: 78 • Adj. WW: 568 Here is one of the first open heifers we are offering by Red Empire, and boy is she impressive. Beautiful in her angles, with plenty of power behind her and very impressive on paper. Her mother is a Lock n Load by Confide in Me, bloodlines that have got it done a long time around here. Broke to tie.

Her dam is a donor at our friends Gonsior Simmentals and is a full sib to Broker. A lot of purple running through this girls’ blood! Broke to tie.
is the only Red Angus in the offering. We really like how this girl is made. Pretty in her lines with a powerful hip and soft middle. She took to the halter pretty quick and is easy to get along with. Have fun with her in the ring then turn her out and let her be a top producer.

This blaze faced bull is super soft off his pasterns and is exceptionally good out of his front 1/3. He will definitely add eye appeal to your calves. Being big hipped and huge ribbed, he will surely give your calf crop some dimension and shape as well. His mom has been flushed and sells as a donor cow on this sale as Lot 55 (302G). This is her natural calf. Keep this bull and his mom on your short list. Recommended for Heifers.

This bull is out of the great Pep donor cow. Full siblings have been high sellers in previous sales. This is a tried-and-true mating that makes powerful bulls with that wow factor like this eye appealing bull. This guy will make real nice show heifers or easy doing commercial cattle that do well in the feed yard.
Here is the full brother to our high selling bull last year. Like his brother, he is kind that checks all the boxes for us. His dam has produced year after year for us and is one of our top producers. He came out with an actual birthweight of 79 pounds and posted an adjusted weaning weight of 708 pounds! He thrives on paper having 10 EPDs in the top 20 % of the breed with an API in the top 10% and TI in the top 4% of the breed. He is bred and designed to be used on heifers, make replacements, bulls, feeder cattle, or to take cattle to grid. A bull that checks all the boxes. Recommended for Heifers.

In the pen he stands out in terms of power, length of body and performance. Look him up sale day, he excels over his fall contemporaries and is up there with the two-year-old’s in terms of mass and performance. For as much power as this guy offers, he excels on his feet and legs and looks great on the profile. His dam, Confide In Me, is a full sister to Mr. Confidence the Denver Champion we showed in years past.

This is one of, if not the best bull that we’ve ever brought to this sale. You will be hard pressed to find one with this much mass and dimension. He’s big boned and huge hipped. He truly is an impressive bull. That being said, he is also extremely sound and moves soft off his pasterns. We cannot say enough how much we like this guy. He’s by the North American Champion, LLSF Pays to Believe and is from a great cow family out of the awesome SS Magnificent Dreams cow. We invite you to come see him in person. He won’t disappoint!

Here is the full sister to our high selling open heifer last year (Ruby) that demanded $21,000 and went to Sloup and Fenton. I wrote in Ruby’s footnote last year that she was one of the most elite breeding pieces that we have ever offered, I could echo that statement for this girl as well. She is stunning on the profile and excels on her feet and legs. She’s due to have a heifer by Red Empire right at sale time. There is a lot of hype with the Red Empire cattle across the country right now and he has exceeded our expectations at home. We think this mating could click in a big way and make a great one. J151 will get nervous in tight quarters. We are selling her in her entirety, but are open to becoming partners with the new owner, if this opportunity is intriguing to you, reach out at any time.
This is an exceptional donor cow with no holes. She’s really extended through her front end and bigger framed. She puts that extra soundness and punch in her calves. Only being flushed twice, she has a bright, long future ahead of her. She was underutilized in our program, and we are excited to offer this exceptional female to a donor program where she will get the attention she deserves. For the one that get this standout female, we would love to see the result of her current breeding to SJF

Bar none, this blaze-faced female is exceptional and is a big-time donor cow in the making. The huge amount of rib shape she possesses is incredible. She is great everywhere. Square out of her hip. Powerfully constructed. Wicked fronted. She was successfully shown by the Lauritsen family. This 20/20 x Red Jewel mating has been proven time and time again. We believe so much in this heifer that we flushed her as a virgin heifer to SAM and are excitedly awaiting the result of this mating. Her first natural calf to Lover Boy will be exciting to lead off her breeding career. I really don’t want to let this one go, but we are offering our best.

donor cow, Aubry never disappoints and this EO bred gets us pumped up. She is soft pasturned, moves with ease, and a front 1/3 that is bar none. That’s not all, she is powerful with a deep middle that just tops her off. Ms Order could easily be your next top donor. Don’t pass this one by.
