I can’t believe this is the tenth year we have had the privi lege of putting on the Western Exposure. It is always a lot of work, beginning in April, and especially during the fall to get everything ready. I truly look forward to every second I get to spend in Iowa. I honestly think of Iowa, and the people I deal with out there, as my second home and family. I great ly enjoy and appreciate the friendships I have been able to develop during my time in God’s country.

I truly believe we have improved the cattle every year and one will truly be impressed with the quality from top to bottom. Our philosophy is rather simple around here: we focus on raising cattle that are versatile for all mar kets. I don’t think you ever want to chase one trait or one market. Eventually, the winds will shift and one will be left standing at the altar of a dead market. We strive to market a female that can be bred multiple ways and click mated to many different sires.

Out here, in the Wild West, it takes a different animal to survive. One can’t understand until they have seen the country were we run our cattle. Not only do they have to raise a marketable calf, the cattle have to deal with predators, fires, drought and work hard to find grass at times; the majority of these fe males were raised in these conditions and know how to survive. I truly believe that is why they are received so well in the Midwest. These cattle know how to clock in and clock out everyday! Nothing pleases us

Feel free to call whenever to talk about cattle. I am proud of this group. No, they aren’t fluffed up, super clean, and clipped for a show, but they are honest. They have never had a bath and trust that policy won’t be changing around here. We don’t have time to baby these things. They are in their working clothes and ready to go to work. They will only look better once they make it to their new home. Thank you for the interest and we look forward to see everyone in Dunlap on January 7th.

I have been a faithful follower of the Faber program for about 10 years. I took a sip of the Kool-Aid 10 years ago and I’ve been sucking it down ever since. 10 out of 10 times if you walk into a room with Dr. Faber and me, he will be the smartest guy in the room. I pick his brain a lot and he has been a great help. I think he feels sorry for me and my six hungry kids! I have put a lot of faith in Faber’s Chantel donor, but the Maximus donor has been almost as successful. If you ask me, she’s the Scottie Pippen to Michael Jordan. Both are Hall of Famers, and this was my top pick from his heifer calves last year. I know there are plenty of Simmentals in the world, (we need more like we need more lawyers) however, I feel like this Pays to Believe daughter can do many different things. I think she can easily raise steers with her moderate size, sound feet, legs, and great hair. I also believe she can raise great percentage females or even bulls at the commercial level. About the only thing this thing can’t do is make you a grilled cheese sandwich because she’s that good.  Clean by pedigree.

Lot 2 is very similar to her half-sister with a great profile, hair coat and balance. Not quite as powerful as lot 1, but Onset will do that to a guy. This gal is simply beautiful from all angles. Breed her to some freaky club calf sire and I’m sure you will land right in the middle, or keep her maternal and enjoy the drop dead gorgeous females. THF

I absolutely love these three sisters. They are full sibs to the bull we have back home called White Privilege. I’m not going to say he’s the next great In God We Trust son, but he does have the best name with today’s woke cancer culture society. He is TH Free with a black nose and awesome hair. We wanted to give him a try and have embryo calves coming, so we will see. His sisters certainly are easy on the eyes as well. I feel these IGWT females will be the next hit, we just need to find something to cross them to. Their mother sells as lot 103.  Not tested.

Can we all just agree that modern-day Angus suck? They have nothing to them but hair and belly, which, last I heard, does not convert well other than at an IVF Center where a recipient can raise their calves. They have gone way too far and are trying to come back, but I’m afraid everything’s so closely related the show ring needs an out-cross badly. Here is an Angus female I got from my good buddy and neighbor, Bobby Lax. He’s just down the street and still lives in the good old days of power and look, like an Angus should have. This female is my type. She has power, pedigree and papers. I like his cattle so much I bought his Lot 1 this year as a future donor for myself. THF

I see Disney is canceling and re-branding their iconic Splash Mountain ride. Hopefully next time I ride it I will not be haunted by my ancestors and their misdeeds. Isn’t that awesome how we are all responsible for the things people did 200 years ago but nobody will take responsibility for their personal problems today? It’s always someone else’s fault for the way they act or conduct themselves. Well, this heifer is the way she is because of me. I did a horrible job torching her and I should have taken my time. Her top line looks like I took a weed eater to it. She is a beautiful Red Angus, and they are getting hotter by the day. She is an embryo calf out of our lead Red Angus donor back home. I can guarantee she will be a great cow. Fireman calves are starting to get into production, and they are far surpassing expectations. THF

Now that the cattlemen have John Fetterman on their side, I’m sure we are going to see a huge price change and a breakup of the big four meat packers. If there’s anyone that could do it, I have my faith in the guy that can’t form full sentences nor decipher a question. How big of turd was Dr. Oz that he couldn’t beat the guy that literally can’t speak coherently? It’s just sad who we send to Washington these days. Pretty soon I’ll be in there and you will all know the end of Western Civilization is near. Both sides are disgusting and I’m sure our Founding Fathers are spinning in their graves. The best thing you can do to distract yourself during times like these is purchase a Hereford female. She will bring you more problems than you can ever imagine and at the same time, lick your hand. She was going to be a show heifer for my little girl but she has a father that hates showing cattle. He loves to sell them, but despises showing them. We never haltered her and she ran with the rest in the high country this summer. She’s about as pretty as they come for a Hereford and certainly one that deserves a second look. The Hereford gene is strong in this one. I am pretty sure her cognitive score would be about the same as Fetterman. THF

I think a lot depends on the cow, but if you need power, you go Garth and if you need softness, you go Data Bank. This is another perfect example of a Data Bank female with the right amount of balance, look and power.

Another super cool Data Bank female. I don’t need to be an infomercial for the Griswold program. I think they’re doing pretty good on their own. John is sharp when it comes to raising females. These are the right kind we should all be trying to raise. Not too big, not too small, but with enough power and substance. They don’t need a creep feeder year-round nor a bale feeder nearby. Data Bank females are here for the long haul. THF

One of my top young Maine donors is a Mercedes-Benz and, when they are crossed on the right cow, I think they work pretty darn well. This is another example of that. Her slit ear drives me nuts, but so does my wife’s middle name (Chrsitine), because that was the girl in Kindergarten that was faster than me and I still have PTSD from that. After 15 years of marriage, I’ve finally been able to overcome my problem, and after this girl’s first calf you’ll be able to overcome her split ear. THF

My kids are determined the two worst phrases they can ever hear is their full name by their mother or, “Come run this gate,” by their father. I grew up around Saler cattle, I know exactly how they feel. There was nothing worse than sorting cows with my dad and having a mix-up and hearing him say, “Stop them!” as they come running 48 mph towards me. That was like asking the Dunlap JV football team to stop the Tennessee Titans with Derrick Henry at the goal line. Once they were moving one direction they were not stopping. Well, this mild-mannered lady is far from a Saler. She may be the same color, but she is as gentle as they come and has the look to be a great female. I’m pretty sure she is clean and should raise some awesome colored cattle.  Not tested.

Baldy brood cow in the making! This whale of a female is out of a Bankroll son that was purchased from Wernings in South Dakota a few years back. This bull throws functional, cookie cutter females every time that flat work. This bold ribbed, stout, sound, functional female has the parts and pieces needed to raise a great one! This female was bred by our new herd sire, G30, which is a SAV Bismarck X SAV International. He has a 75# BW and came from the Caffee Ranch in South Dakota.

After looking at these videos it might be confirmed that I am the worst at sale prep. I clipped and torched these by myself over three days and by the time I was done you could have offered me another cow to clip or a cliff to jump off. I would have been swan diving during my free fall. Things are a little ranchy out here compared to the usual Midwest presentation. Nobody has seen a bath or a blower. They are what they are, and I think the industry is starting to appreciate that. Don’t get me wrong, I wish they all looked like dialed-in show heifers, but they don’t. I certainly could have done a better job with this one. But she is in her working clothes and one of the better females in the sale. Even dirty and covered in crap I could use this one all day.

Duke is a full sib to Equity. Equity is currently in the Hartman bull battery and doing a great job. Duke is like Stephen Baldwin and Equity is Alec Baldwin.

This is another prime example. She is out of a great donor cow that has landed females in the homes of David Faber, Bob May and Ward Eckloff.

What is a woman? Such a difficult question to answer into today’s society. If you’re the newest Supreme Court Justice, your answer would be, “I don’t know.” If you’re a woke liberal, there are 30 different definitions, but you will not allow anyone to be defined by any of the above definitions that you previously stated. But if you’re a true cattleman that understands what produces and generates, this is what we are looking for. Anything out of the 752 Driver donor will work. She sold in the sale about seven years ago but had a bull calf instead of a sexed heifer calf. The buyer thought I lied to him, so I bought her back and she’s generated over $100K.

Don’t you love all the May heifers that are being born in the world now? Granted, there are probably a few out there, but let’s be honest. One of the great Achilles heels of the cattle industry is our inability to collect and submit honest data. The dairy industry does an impeccable job with this, and they are making true advancement extremely rapidly. We, on the other hand, are fibbing about our weaning weights to sell a bull to our neighbor. If you want a perfect example of genetic advancement, I will use the weaning weights from my dad’s commercial cowherd he ran on the Winecup Ranch in Northern Nevada. The first year he weaned his calves off the cow at 625 lbs. After 20 years of intense genetic selection (aka buying middle of the road bulls from everywhere) the calves sold at 435lbs and weaned 45 days. I don’t know if we are improving! This heifer is a true May, and she is obviously not as big as the others, but she is as cute as a button. She’s out of the donor cow selling as Lot 119. We have a couple full sibs back home just like this girl that are doing a great job.   Not tested.

One of my biggest fears in life is for someone to call me up and call me a liar, so I’ll be honest, this one took a lot better picture than she is in real life. Her mom is great, and her dad is an old school pedigree that has done a nice job for us. She’s just behind the others in terms of condition. She is the epitome of picture misrepresentation with cattle and internet dating. You think you’re meeting a 10 but after five minutes of conversation you’re just hoping it’s a girl and that no one recognizes you! Not tested.

I dare you to find a cooler cat! This thing is an absolute tank, yet very athletic, balanced, smooth and awesome marked. I thought the white gal we sold last year for $20,000 for half interest to Jorgensen was the best cow we have brought to town, but this one might be better. By the way, this one has the same story as her: never been AI bred nor any clue on what she can produce. I got her out of a dispersal, and she has been impressive since the day she stepped off the truck. The top cow last year sold her first calf for $21,500 and this one, bred to Wade’s new bull, Search Is Over, could ring the bell. I think her upside is limitless. Steers or heifers, I would love to keep an interest in her if anyone else is looking for a partner.  THC

This girl is more Texan than a Buc-ee’s truck stop with a gig ‘em Aggies chaser. Have you ever seen a color pattern like this without any Brahman influence? She is a tank. The Ukraine even wanted her on the front lines to battle the Russians. I feel like this is what Rosie O’Donnell would look like if she was a cheerleader for the Cincinnati Bengals. This girl is massive. She is soft, powerful, sound and milks. I flushed her to Flatliner this spring and can’t wait to see what they look like when they hit the ground. She is a very intriguing breeding piece with all the bells and whistles to boot. Fuel is high and I feel like this one will get some of the Texas oil money back into my pocket. She is legit! THC

I saw her on pasture a couple years ago and bought her back. She raised a killer heifer this year that I will replace her with. She has been flushed successfully three times, and always caught first try AI. Try a Safe N Sound if you haven’t already and be ready to be converted! THC

I have all the faith in the world that this girl will produce checks. Now, if you will be able to cash them is another question. Go talk to your local HVAC, contractor, landscaper, beauty salon owner or car dealer, and tell them you want their product or service at zero percent interest and in six months you will (hopefully) pay them. They will look at you the same as your grandparents would look at a Berkeley professor explaining the numerous genders. Don’t worry though, you can always ease their nerves with writing a check they can’t cash. That always smooths everything over. I’m not sure when we are going to change the financials of the club calf market, but until it happens, I’m going to keep complaining. This cow will produce. She has been flushed conventionally four times with great results. Her In God We Trust calves that sell as lots 6, 7 and 8 look awesome. The full sib herd sire we have at home is the best we have ever kept.  She is a full sib to the Reiman #105 cow that sold for a pile in their dispersal and I know of a few full sisters out there that are producing like this one. Consistency and quality are what you will find. Clean by pedigree.

The guy needing any more proof about the quality of the Angus donor we are selling just look at this beast. Garth works on Angus Cattle. I don’t know of a better cross right now to make functional Maine Angus than him. This cow can do it all! I bred her twice to Daddy’s Money. She sold a high seller in the cow sale her first calf, and I kept the bull to clean up my own heifers. Unfortunately, he had an accident and broke his unit, which is the same accident that should happen to all the pedophiles in America. I think this Garth female could raise whatever you wanted.

I must brag a little bit about my customer base. I always look forward to heading to Iowa.

Whether we are talking cattle, football, kids, or reasons why our wives don’t appreciate us, I feel like I have a lot of good buddies in the Midwest. This cow is just like our customer base: the good honest type that can get things done. Lot 106 has been IVF’d five times with huge results. I suggest picking two sires when you flush her because she gives out oocytes like a Jehovah Witness gives out pamphlets. Be ready for more than you can handle!

Not sure how the Simmental association will handle this one, but she is a true half-blood. Not very often will you find a white half-blood, but I think this one bred to a red and white bull would make awesome 3/4 yellow Simmentals. I bred her to Here I Am because her HIA she had this year is awesome and is currently being shown in the Midwest. This is a very productive, smooth made female with a lot of upside and options. THF

Looks like Matt Rhule is going to be the last victim to the impossible expectations of the Nebraska fan base. I don’t know how many Memorial Stadium can hold, but I know it’s north of 90K. Rhule basically married into a family with 90,000 mothers-in-law. They will love him during the six months of the honeymoon phase, but once the first loss comes, the mumbling will begin. I honestly hope he does turn the program around. It’s better when Nebraska is at the top of the heap. Till then, I will keep talking my trash. Plus, I only have about nine months to do so before BYU enters the Big 12 and gets their teeth kicked in. I’m afraid the only thing we will be competitive in is scriptural Jeopardy, but even Baylor may give us a run for our money there. This Broker female originated in Nebraska. I bought her when Bill Withers sold out about three years ago. He had a beautiful set of cows and I probably should have bought them all. Very maternal with growth and the ability to survive. Her Here I Am should be awesome with the amount of belly and softness she possesses. She sold a $5,500 bull last year in my bull sale. Clean by pedigree.

If this isn’t a true testament to the Lot 116 cow, then I don’t know what is. This Profit daughter is flat awesome and bred to Here I Am, and could certainly be a home run. Hard to find a half blood Simmy with this much power and look. One of the best half-blood cows we have brought to town. Mother sells as Lot 116. Clean by pedigree.

You could strap a flamethrower to the back of this one and she could be the Hindenburg for Halloween. She is massive, and I could say it’s because she hasn’t had a calf in the last three years, but she has never missed a beat since her first. Pray for a heifer calf, but if it’s a bull, give me a call and I will gladly buy it back.

There are three ways to become instantly depressed in the fall of ‘23. #1 - be a BYU football fan. #2 - be a Dallas Cowboys football fan. #3 - do not purchase this female in January and learn what kind of calf she spits out. Our top seller last year laid down and had a $21,000 calf on her first shot. I’m not going to be the type that sits there and tells you this is our best group, or this is the best one ever because there’s been good ones every year.

I have her heifer calf from this year in the replacements, and I am certainly excited to see what she can produce. THF

This summer I started to feel a nickel proud. My clipper blades were recently sharpened. I had some pressed pants on with a flat brim hat, and my voicemail was full.

Dr. Faber called me to repentance this summer when he got “the voicemail is full” message after calling me. My old-timer neighbor from Idaho says only people that owe others money or are having affairs won’t take messages. Maybe he’s right? After this cow has her calf, call me. I’ll answer it and I will listen to your excitement! Lot 127 can flat raise good stock. I have had a lot of calves out of her rather natural or embryo transfer.

Putin might have a little “club calf trader” gene underneath his cruel, cold demeanor. The U.S. government is filling the role of “super-wealthy, first-time naive, 4-H family”. Wow, did we get out-traded with the latest prisoner exchange. At least the LA Sparks are excited to get their center back, or whatever team Griner plays for in the WNBA (who even watches it?). The Russians, on the other hand, got their “Merchant of Death” back. I’m sure our corrections programs turned him into a born again Christian. He’s probably such a changed man he will be the next martyr of Russia upon his return for speaking out against the war. It’s amazing how out of touch our leaders are. Don’t allow yourself to get out traded like Biden did when lot 141 walks into the ring. This female is a fine lady. Her donor mother sells two lots below and you can certainly see where she gets her look and power. She is awesome from every angle. Guaranteed her cocky front third and a powerful hip will be passed on to the Search Is Over calf inside of her. On a side note, this is the first trade involving the WNBA that people have ever talked about. THC

Yes, I know she is open and that is always the key indicator for a non-breeder that the guy just wants to dump. Let’s be honest - that’s what 90% of the open cows that sell are. This one purposely was left open. In fact, I just recently bred her to Flatliner. I conventionally flushed her this fall and one IVF cycle. She isn’t far enough along yet to confirm, but I absolutely love this cow. She is a powerhouse with a massive amount of bone and a great look that balances very well. Her Dakota gold daughter sells as lot 141 if you want to see proof in the pudding.   THC

So, I hear there’s a popular show in the Midwest and across America called “Yellowstone.” It’s basically a soap opera that truckers, farmers, and the majority of low testosterone producing men drop everything they’re doing to watch on a Sunday night. Women now is your chance to make fun of men for all the slack you have caught for watching soap operas all these years. “Yellowstone” is a soap opera for men with low testosterone. I’m sure I’ll catch some flak for this comment but my goodness. You guys haven’t been around enough brand inspectors to really understand how ridiculous it is. It won’t be too long until one of the characters suffers amnesia and can’t remember the name of their former lover. When that scene happens check in your man card. This female has more Montana in her then the entire Yellowstone show. Her mother originated there and has done a great job in Idaho. I’m usually not the biggest fan of Montana cattle. They live on hay six months out of the year and have an easy life, but this gal has done great wintering out on corn stalks and never eating a flake of hay all winter.

If you own a cowboy hat and not a belted cow throw your hat away, get a 2WD truck, and stop being a poser. Only true cattle and have a Galloway for every thousand head. It’s your marker cow! Some would be embarrassed to sell a Belted Galloway in a production sale, but trust me, I have no pride left. We just recently bought a 12-passenger van to haul the countless kids. You want to talk about hitting the lowest of lows. You don’t fit in parking spots, and you also look like a clown act when you open the doors and kids start falling out. Not to mention all the creepy looks you get from people wondering if you’re going to abduct them. If I remember right, Eye Candy was out of a Galloway, and in all honesty, this cow is flat awesome. I always wanted to breed her to a Hereford and try to get a tricolor cow, like a Border Collie dog, but never got it done. She has a ripping good steer calf on her side. Unfortunately, just a few white flecks of white are on the calf’s side.

Elk. killed by my sister, Kali Roche, at TK Ranch in Idaho.

Here is the opportunity of a lifetime for the cowman wanting to make the neighbors jealous. “Tude” is a purebred Border Collie that is completely trained. He has every command needed to make your buddies more envious then 500-bushel corn. He has a perfect bye, away to me, down, walk up, and will listen to anyone. He is the real deal. Take all the credit that you trained him, or tell the neighbors you found him but guaranteed he will be talk of the town once they see his handle. Fire the worthless hired man that lies on his hours and buy this dog. You will never regret it!

First of all, I want to thank Trevor for this bear hunt. We went to North Central Idaho with Jay Roche and two other guides. Between their stories - some true, and some I’m not so sure about - and the scenic country, it was quite the experience! Trevor calls it “God’s Country,” but I’m not sure about that.

We hunted with dogs that had GPS collars, across creeks, rocks, trees, snow and other obstacles. At one point, the bear was 12 miles away from us and circled back and ended up 1.2 miles away. The dogs treed him, thank heavens, because I wasn’t sure if I wanted to walk 12 miles in the mountains to shoot him. The hospitality Jay showed us was second to none. Besides wrecking two four-wheelers and tearing the front end out of one pick-up, everyone came back in one piece with lots of pictures and stories.

I could go on and on about this hunting trip, but Trevor said to keep it short! Thanks again, Trevor, for one hell of an adventure.
