Lowline calves come easy out of first calf heifers and have exceptional vigor at birth and fleshing ability, ideal for grass-fed beef. 8

Joe Maddox Dispersal
Complete dispersal of 29 percentage Lowline cows with halfblood Akaushi calves at side. The cows are 3 to 6 years old. There are 20 halfblood Lowline cows, weighing 850 - 1050#. The rest of the cows are 3/4 - purebred Lowline, weighing 800 - 900#. Some of the cows are registered Lowlines - we will sort through the papers and match them up with the cows when we work them at the sale site. If a cow has registration papers, they will be given to the buyer sale day. The cows are all-natural, wormed with diatomaceous earth in their mineral. The calves are sired by Heartbrand 9597Y, a Akaushi bull sired by a son of Big Al. The first calf was born August 10, 2014. The bull was turned in with the cows again on September 10, 2014. The calves from these cows are eligible for a 20¢ premium market contract to Heartbrand beef if parentage verified by DNA by the new owners. This is a set of terrific productive commercial Lowline females, raised

in droughty conditions in west Texas that illustrate why we call this sale “Get Back to Grass.” They are designed specifically for all-natural beef production. They also could be used as extremely efficient recipient cows for a Lowline embryo transplant program and, with Lutylase, could be set up and synchronized for early September ET calves.

tal circumference measured upon arrival at the show. This data will be provided to the judges and the participants. 6. The bulls will be shown by age divisions on March 3, 2015 at 3:30 PM, immediately before the Houston Lowline Sale. Bulls will be evaluated and placed by a panel of three respected judges. 7. The Bull Battle Grand Champion will be named by the panel of judges and the exhibitor/breeder of the bull will win the total of the entry fees less sale commission and semen collection and insurance costs. If there are 50 entry fees paid, this amount is estimated to be between $35,000 and $40,000. 8. Every breeder that paid an entry fee will receive 20 units of semen and 20 non-transferable AI certificates from the Bull Battle Champion and the breeder of the Bull Battle Champion will receive a total of 50 units and 50 non-transferable AI certificates. 9. A lottery-type drawing will be simultaneously running. The last name drawn will own full possession and future rights to sell semen from the bull after two years. The possession winner of the Bull Battle Champion has the option of putting the bull in the Houston Lowline Sale that will immediately follow the Bull Battle Show. 10. The lottery drawing will also determine the order in which semen is released to participants. The first participant drawn will get the first semen, the second name drawn gets the second semen released etc. 11. The non-winning bulls will be ranked in order and will have the opportunity to earn a sales position in the Houston Lowline Sale. Total number of bulls allowed to enter the sale will be determined on a percentage of entries. Bulls selling in the sale will be charged the same sale commission as other sale entries.
The dynamic Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo Moderator Bull Battle will be a landmark, breed-changing event. We are very excited about this first-ever Bull Battle to be held at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo on March 3, 2015 and sponsored by SLABA. It is a “winner take all” contest with a twist – every exhibitor as well as every person that pays an entry fee gets 20 straws of semen and 20 AI certificates on the Bull Battle Champion. The exhibitor/breeder of the Bull Battle Champion wins the total of the entry fees less the costs of the Bull Battle. And one lucky participant wins the Bull Battle Champion!!! Here’s How it Works: 1. All virgin Moderator and 50% Moderator Plus Bulls born between March 1, 2013 and February 28, 2014 are eligible. 2. All bulls must be entered by the breeder. The breeder is determined as the owner of the cow at time of birth. 3. Entry fee for the Moderator Bull Battle is $1000/2 bulls. The entry deadline is October 31, 2014. 4. The opportunity to purchase a semen interest and chance for possession will sell for $1000 and sales will close immediately before the Bull Battle show begins. 5. The bulls will be weighed, ultra-sounded (at owner’s expense) and scro-
