TO THE TEXAS BRANGUS BREEDERS ASSOCIATION SPRING SPECTACULAR SALE
Welcome to the 2023 TBBA Spring Spectacular, the highlight of the year for the Texas Brangus Breeders Association. As a Brangus breeder myself since 1998, this sale has always represented an opportunity for breeders from across the state to showcase their very best. After so many years in the breed, it is an honor to be asked to manage this sale and work with such a storied organization.
This year I have been working with your sales co-chairmen Matt Wiley and Grady Green to assemble a set of sale cattle that not only represent the membership of this organization but also offer genetic progress and quality from top to bottom. As always this offering is highlighted by a deep set of open and bred heifers that rival any offered this spring, they represent some of the most sought-after sires, name-brand cow families and respected programs in the country.
Please make plans to join us on April 1st in Salado, TX for this annual event. If you cannot be with us please make plans to tune in with our industry partners DVAuction.com to watch the sale and place your bids. If you have any questions about the sale or if we can assist you in any way please call or text, I'd be happy to help! See you on sale day!

On behalf of the Texas Brangus Breeders Association, I would like to personally welcome you to the TBBA Spring Spectacular Sale on Saturday, April 1, 2023, beginning at 10 a.m. at the beautiful Tenroc Ranch near Salado, Texas. The Bluebonnets are in full bloom in the Hill Country of Texas and this is a wonderful time of the year to see great Brangus cattle and beautiful scenery! This sale has become the premier regional association consignment sale in the Brangus breed and we are excited for you to look through this offering and make selections to impact your Brangus breeding operation.
The cattle industry and the Brangus breed specifically, is seeing outstanding demand with a focus on top-quality genetics that will satisfy the customer. The offering here is deep in both phenotype and genotype as the consignors have brought you cattle that proudly represent their programs.
The cattle will be available for viewing on Friday afternoon, March 31st (and via Ideal Video as well) and the sale will start at 10 a.m. and be completed by Noontime. There will be trucking available for those who cannot make the sale and may wish to purchase their cattle via DVAuction. If you have any questions about the offering, Garrett Thomas, Matt Willey, Grady Green and I would be more than happy to discuss the cattle with you.
We would also like to invite you to the TBBA Annual Meeting on Friday afternoon and for great food and fellowship that evening. We look forward to seeing you in the beautiful Texas Hill Country in Salado!
Best Regards,
Joe W. Fuller TBBA President
Lot 1 MS JFB MCCOY CHARLOTTE 500G5
Born:
Here's a second calf heifer with a nice heifer calf at side. This One Source x Csonka female is stout structured, soggy-middled and maternal, delivering her second heifer calf just before she turned three years old. She has the hard-to-find combination of great growth EPDs combined with a +12 milk EPD. Pasture exposed to CB Prime Cut 7139J20,
Lot 1A JFB MS JOHNNIE WAYNE 500K7
Lot 2 MISS JLS PRIME 767J
Born:
When you are making your cattle decisions, they are based on many things.767's appearance just cried out "PRIME", but everything else said not only NO, but NO WAY! Everyone who knows me knows that only made me try it. She is the kind we need: moderate, thick, beautiful udder, very feminine and fertile. In this drought we have been in for two years, 767L is the only kind we can afford.

This maternal sister to GKB Perfect Storm 804H20 is backed by the 804 cow family that has made its mark across the Brangus breed. The Monument progeny have proven to have bigtime value across several programs and as recently as this past fall his sons topped numerous sales. 804G3 blends a striking phenotype with an EPD profile that ranks in the top 4% for BW, 15% for WW, 25% YW, 2% SC and top 15% IMF. Her SB Godfather heifer calf at her side is without a doubt a show heifer prospect!! LOT 3A: Heifer calf born 3/1/23 by SB The Godfather 804G1, R10409098.

Lot 5 MISS JLS PRIME 915J
I know everybody says "This is one we should NOT sell." But it really applies to 915J. If you are looking for a front-pasture cow that has the eye appeal, genetics, and growth to deserve that front-pasture, Look no further. The bull calf at side is a definite herd sire prospect. Not every day you can take home a future Donor with a herd bull at her side.
Lot 6 MISS MS ELLA 915J3
When you can put a pedigree together as this Female has, plus get stacked EPDs across the board, you can only hope it might have a little "eye appeal." Well... We hit a homerun!
Not only is 915J3 one of the most feminine, deep females you can find, but she produced and a heifer calf sired by Klutch 915E52 that is as good or better than she is.
