We would like to take this opportunity to welcome all cattlemen and women to our 43rd annual production sale. What an exciting time to be in the cattle business. It is great to see producers get rewarded with top and record breaking prices. With the current cattle numbers reported, it looks like these prices could hold for quite some time. It makes more sense now than ever to invest in quality cattle.

Every year on sale day it is so refreshing to look out and see so many familiar faces in the crowd. Its thanks to you that we get to continue our dream and produce quality cattle that work in so many scenarios across the state and country. Thank you for putting your trust in our programs.

As the world gets weirder every day, we take great peace in knowing our children and families get to be surrounded by so many great people in this industry. There have been so many life long friendships and partnerships made through this industry, and we are extremely blessed for that.

You will notice a few different faces this year at the sale. We want to welcome the Groth and Fulton Families this year as they we will be consigning cattle to the sale. Both are family friends that we have worked with in the past and trust that their values and desire to raise quality cattle align with ours.

If you have never attended or been through our offering, we sure invite you to do so. If you cant make it sale day we will make it work for you to go through the cattle prior to the sale. Online bidding will be available. If there are any questions on any of the stock don’t hesitate to call any of the consignors. We love talking cattle.

One of the most elite open females we have ever offered. A sale feature that is worth making the trip, regardless of the distance. She comes from an elite pedigree on both sides. A direct daughter of the Lookin Sharp donor who recently demanded $56K at 7 years of age. She offers so much power, middle, and length of spine while being very versatile on her feet and legs. This girl has a very bright future ahead of her and we believe she can have the same impact on the breed as her mother has, one that’s capable of making the great ones. She has a great disposition and is broke to tie.

Here is a high-end female out of the Fort Worth and NAILE champ Private Stock and the past $40k dollar Denver sale feature, Versace. If you study this ones picture and video, she is hard to poke a hole in. We really appreciate her on the profile with her powerful hip, length of body, and how she ties into her front third. One that will be fun on the halter, and will excel once in production. Broke to tie.

We purchased one half interest in this heifer’s dam, a Fort Hayes X Sequoia daughter. My intentions are to flush this powerful red female to our Werning purchase, we call “BF Simple Man” a red white face bull to further our interest in a red line of Simmentals. M52 is our bonus “Lock Down” that we acquired in the cow. She is a big stout one! A little chrome came with the package, but I don’t think she will be discounted for that. Help yourself!

This Blacklist half-blood daughter is massive through her middle and moves well on her feet and legs. She is out of RS&T and Shoal Creek’s Shezadandi donor that is doing a phenomenal job selling heifers or bulls. This Blacklist daughter has the power, bone, and sleek front end for the show ring and the pasture.

Not only does this open heifer bring a lot of quality phenotype to the table, but you have to look at her genetic make and numbers. She offers sound foot, roundness of rib, square hip, and ties together nicely from head to toe! She is broke to haul to shows or stay at home and look pretty with your herd.

This one comes to the top of our list this year when we talk about show heifer candidates. She moves extremely well with a giant set of feet and legs.

If you flip a few pages back, you will see three flush mate brothers that will be features in the bull division. Her pedigree is stacked with maternal greats with Boots on the top side and Rockin Robin on the bottom.

HLTS/RSSF Queen Supreme G106 is an attractive and powerful daughter of HPF Quantum Leap and B and K Queen Supreme 28B. Following her bloodlines back, you will find Clearwater, Hudson Pines, Griswold, Phillips Family, BF and others that have benefited from these genetics.

Yes, we have a few Red Agus cows that float around the place as well. Our family campaigned this heifer’s dam a few years ago. She’s done nothing but pay bills around our place. A production-oriented female that gets the job done every time. We believe she got the job done with this one as well. Big ribbed, big muscled, and one that gets around with plenty of flexibility.

This Perfection daughter is out of the first show heifer that we bought from Stoltz Exotics. She did nothing but win shows for our family during her show career. As a cow, she’s never missed either. She always produces big footed, stout boned, and big muscled ones. This high performance heifer resembles that to a T. We think very highly of this heifer and think you will as well. If you wanted to show this one, or any of the heifers we have to offer, we would gladly help you in any way.

A RED you don’t want to pass on! 466L is another notable product of our donor cow Aubry. She is already show broke and ready to haul. This fluffy girl is unique in her design. Look at how smooth her neck ties into her shoulder, her depth of belly, boldness in body and dimension, and you have to see her on the move. She will make a front pasture cow whether or not she has a show career.

When the Ruth family asked us to join this sale, there was no doubt that we were excited. We knew that this heifer was going to be one of the highlights of the group we had to offer. This heifer doesn’t need a lot of words to describe her. As the show heifer of the group, she’s maternal, athletic, and an absolute smoke show from the side. This C&C Intuition daughter is what we love to see in a heifer, and it makes the decision to sell her that much harder.

The only ET heifer that we have to offer that is from our Angus herd. This SAV President daughter out of our 002 flush cow screams brood cow to us. Big footed, stout boned, wide chested, and big muscled are just a couple things that describe this heifer. We normally don’t let ET heifers go very often but we wanted to make sure we offered the best from the heart of our herd. We think she will be nothing but a money maker for you.

C&C Intuition 7104, Sire

Since she hit the ground, this has been one of my personal favorites. She’ll catch your eye every time you walk through the calves. She sets her neck so high at the point of her shoulder and is extended in front of it, that she is hard to miss. She proportions so well from the side. She has great foot shape and a very attractive hip and hindleg. She does a lot of great things for us, and on top of that, she is out of one of our favorite females in the herd. Buy this heifer with a great deal of confidence, and she’ll do the rest for you. BREEDER: Groth Angus

A. We offer a 60 day breeding season guarantee that covers fertility and career ending injuries within that first 60 day turnout.

Issues such as frozen scrotums and poor nutrition that are out of our control will not be covered. A veterinarian’s opinion may be requested.

C. We ask that you contact us immediately if any other issues arise and we will do our best to make it right. We appreciate your business and strive to provide you with a guaranteed. superior breeding animal.

We absolutely love the way this guy is made. One of our favorites in our offering. So correct in his lines, with a powerful hip and ties into a beautiful front third. On the move, this guy thrives, and is one of the best structurally in our offering. His dam (Minnie) is one of our up and coming donors who has been doing an incredible job for us raising high end bulls. We elected to go with the Affirmed bull for this flush to add length and frame while still offering enough look and power. It looks like it hit and Minnie delivered again! This guy on paper is a standout with eight traits being in the top twenty-fifth percentile. A outcross to several bloodlines in the breed and a phenotype like his, he gives you several different breeding options. Make sure you find this one sale day!

This guy’s full brother was one of our favorites in our bull offering last year. This guys footnote will be a copy and paste from his brother as they remind me so much of each other. A bull that will make the high end baldies that will crush the scales. He came out with an actual BW of 87 and never looked back. A clear leader in terms of weaning weight and performance among his contemporaries. His mother (Minnie) is the up and coming donor of ours that is quickly proving herself and exceeding our expectations. Definitely a bull that’s on our short list and should be easy to find sale day.

A few years back Dad called after seeing this guys full sister top the sale on the Foxy Lady Bred Sale. He said it was one of the best breds he had ever seen. Shortly after we called our friends at Western Cattle source and purchased some full sib embryos. If you look into this guy’s dam and what she has done for WCS program, you’d understand how good she is and how many winners she’s produced. He’s an outcross spread bull that ranks in the top 30% for BW and CE and top 20% for WW and YW. We believe that this guy has the most upside potential out of our entire bull offering. One you have to see in person to appreciate how good he is on the move, and how well he is put together. One that I would star and circle if your serious about being in this business for

He’s one of the youngest bulls of our fall group and we think he’s pretty special. Not only does he check the box for calving ease but he’s got enough power and eye appeal behind him to make a beautiful set of replacements. One that can bring value in several scenarios.

His footnote will read similar to his brothers in that he gives you several options on how to be utilized with how he is built and bred. He’s a direct son of our matriarch W83. This mating has been proven to be one to utilize if you are making replacements. With his length of spine and size, he is sure to add pounds to his offspring. A bull that is ready to cover a lot of cows right out the gate. Trich tested.

On the top side, they go back to the infamous Boots. Talk about power in the blood! Whether your looking to add pounds or make high end females, these bulls will check the boxes. We believe M22 is among one of the best herd bull prospects we have ever offered, it is hard to make cattle that are that powerful, structurally correct, and still carry that elite presence on the profile. M631 is similar in his make up just a solid black version, while at the end of the day M47 may be the widest while still offering the blaze face. A great set of brothers to run on mature cows.

If you are looking for a baldy bull to add pounds to your offspring put this guy on your list! He ranks in the top 10% of the breed for WW, YW, and ADG. He was at the top of our yearling group in terms of weaning weight and easily blends in with the fall bulls with his stature. Out of a first calf heifer that did an extremely good job, would recommend him for use on second calvers on up.

Impressive in person and on paper. Top Weaning weight bull in the yearling group. Out of our new and upcoming donor Beauty who has been delivering in a big way early in her career. The Clear Advantage cattle will add length and frame to their offspring which correlates to pounds. With this guy being in the top 25% for CE and top 30% BW, we expect his calves to come easy and set down the scales come weaning time.

This baldy bull is a good candidate for use to add more pounds at weaning. He ranks in the top 25% of the breed for WW and YW. His daddy Mic Drop is now deceased and the amount of offspring being offered is limited. On the dam side, he goes back to the legend Cowboy Cut. Both top and bottom are genetics notorious for creating sound functional cattle that add pounds.

With an actual BW of 65 and being ranked in the top 25% for CE and 15% for BW, we recommend this guy for use on heifers. He goes back to a beautiful Epic daughter that’s out of our donor lcandi.

One of our previous sale highlights was this guy’s mother. She demanded $13k as a bred heifer a few years back. One of the first flushes we did to her was to the hot bull Dimensional. We got everything we hoped out of this mating, a bull with a wide base, powerful hip, thick top, and massive middle. I can only imagine the set of feeder calves and replacements he will produce. A lot of genetics top and bottom on this guy and he is one of the younger bulls in the offering who will only get better with time. I’d have him on my shortlist.

Ranks in the top 20% for CE, top 30% for BW and top 20% for MILK. If your curious of what he could make for females, check out his full sister being offered as one of the bred heifers a few pages back in the catalog. This bull does have scurs but I don’t think it will have much effect on the quality of his offspring.

This Red Empire son is out of our Liberty donor who is being offered as one of our feature breds this year. That cow has delivered time and time again in raising bulls and heifers. When I see this guy I think he is capable of making replacement females all day long. Especially with how he is bred. He’s got a very balanced set of EPDs behind him and his calves should be pretty moderate when born.

This past fall we had the opportunity to acquire the Zeba donor and add her to our donor battery. It was an easy decision for us after our high selling open last year was a daughter of Zeba making this guy a maternal sib. This was her natural calf at side at the time. If you are looking for a bull to add pounds put him on your short list. With his length of body and frame size, he’ll be sure to do so. He ranks in the top 30% for WW, top 20% for YW, and top 15% for ADG.

In our minds, this guy is at the very top of our list in our entire bull offering this year. He is an absolute powerhouse and has been that way since day one. He has our top weaning weight of all our bulls offered this year. He’ll stand out sale day in the pen in terms of his power, length of body and performance. We have offered full sibs to this bull in the past and they have been our top sellers. His full sisters have been retained in our own herd and they are among our top producers. Backed by the Confide In Me donor who was a full sib to Mr Confidence, the Denver Champion. He came out at 72 pounds and is rated in the top 25% for CE and top 35% for BW. His WW and YW are in the top 25% and 30% respectively. Its hard to make cattle that can be recommended for heifers and then turn around and be recommended for use to increase weaning weights, this guy can do it. Definitely one to find sale day!

I absolutely love how this female is bred. The Wide Range cattle are just flat good cattle. The Executive Order flush to our legendary W83 donor was by far one of the best flushes in her career that produced some of the best cattle we ever offered. The W83 story still hasn’t died as she was the grand dam of Supreme bull at the NE State Fair this year. A female backed by these pedigrees designed and made like this should be a top producer year in and year out. Vet called her due prior to sale date to the AI Sire.

We went back and forth on whether we were going to offer this female on the sale. Ultimately, we decided that we needed a feature bred to offer this year. This is a bred that we intended to put into our embryo program and still believe she has enough to offer to do so for her new owner. Study her picture and video, she is so good in her lines and moves out extremely well. She has enough style to make show females but is powerful enough and bred to raise high end bulls. She thrives on paper with an API in the top 15% of the breed. Her disposition is second to none. The vet called her likely to calve to Keynote and she should be paired out prior to sale. Now for the exciting part, the planned mating to Keynote would result in a calf being in the top 1% of the breed for API and Stay. Top 2% for Marbling, top 5% for TI and top 4% for BW.

This bred heifer reminds us of the song from the movie Madagascar sung by a serenading hippo, “I like them big, I like them chunky. I like them big, I like them plumpy.” To us 449L is known as Franny. She made the rounds this last show season in Nebraska and went to Simmental Regionals in Hutchinson, KS. She won a few and came close to many. She is exactly what you see in her picture and video. She carries a 5 ½ frame score, so she is a bit more moderate in her structure, but dang does she pack a punch with her volume and dimension. This big girl speaks for herself and we believe she is your next half blood donor prospect or your next hungry hippo!

STF Onyx 451W, Dam

This girl was our feature lot and high seller in our 2023 sale for a total valuation of $13,000. We sold half of her that day and partnered with Lehrman Simmentals. Her first calf sold was a beautiful red Red Empire bull that sold for $5k plus. She’s has another son selling this year in Lot 34. With her full sister demanding $21k the prior year and being our highest seller ever we elected to put her right into our donor lineup. She has flushed very well for us with her first flush giving us 9 embryos and a recent flush this fall giving us 44 embryos! With Dan dispersing his cow herd recently and her flushing very well, we have decided to sell her in her entirety. Early in her career, she looks to make the good ones that are extra sound, big middled, and great necked just like her. She will be exposed to Red Empire for a fall calf, we will have a better idea of a calving date at sale time. This female does get nervous in tight quarters and is protective of her calf at calving time. To sweeten the pot, she sells with embryos out of her recent flush: (3) Mader Walk the Line x J151,and (3) Winc All Right x J151 embryos.

This is one of the prettiest cows we’ve had around the place. She goes back to our 412 Angus donor and she had full sibs that topped the bull division for us consecutive years. THE ONLY reason we are letting her go is because we have retained 3 daughters of hers. If you look back through old catalogs, you’ll find she delivered on putting high end bulls and heifers in the sale year after year. She is AI’d to the exciting baldy bull Money Maker and the vet called her likely to hit the AI date. We will know more at sale time.

We each have retained daughters for our own herds and now have elected her to be offered to be utilized in another program. The vet called her likely to the AI sire Money Maker who is making waves in the Simmental breed. Whether she hits to the AI sire or Timeless, there’s a good chance she’ll have a baldy calf that’s impressive in person and on paper.

Back in our 2020 sale, we offered this female as our feature lot and sold half interest in her. She was the high seller that year for us to our great friends the Wilkes. Her first calf was a beautiful red baldy bull that was one of our top sellers the following year. After that we put her into our ET program and she has been delivering top end calves every year. One of her sons sells this year as Lot 28 and he is one of our most impressive yearlings in terms of power and performance. Look at her pedigree she is backed by greats, study her picture and video, she’s as big middled and good footed as you can have ‘em. She’s delivered for us year after year and is right in the prime of her life ready to do big things for her next owner! Big time opportunity here!

Let’s be honest here, this should have been a cow we made a donor. Our loss is most definitely your gain! Just look at this ground sow. She carries extensive volume from front to back, a big middle, major bone, amazing feet, square hipped, and depth all the way through her underline. On top of that, when looking at a cow that brings a punch like her, she is remarkably fronted. Don’t let this front end, moderate framed cow pass you by!

The mating to Walk the Line gets us fired up as we believe it will create some top end prospects whether a bull or heifer. Walk The Line semen itself demands north of $350 per straw.
