LOT 41A - Retaining 50% embryo interest after her show career.
We have been fortunate to have so many daughters out of this great cow that have found tremendous success. This 24 Karat daughter has us as excited as any that she has produced. This female has the same functional skeleton and maternal build that the Lady Impressions are known for but has as much extension and feature out of any she has produced. The best part is she continues to get even better every day.
LOT 41B - Bred to PVF Surveillance with SEXED HEIFER SEMEN; due February 8, 2025.
Other than the fact that we got a little carried away with the fly spray when we took her picture, this one was so impressive in the picture pen. She looked like she should have been at the Junior Nationals. She was always made right, but that little skinny heifer calf sure turned into a big stout yearling. Tons of quality here.

Lady Impression continues to hit with every bull we throw at her. These two Primal daughters exude quality and are phenomenal in their structural builds. Lot 42A is extremely genuine in her shape all the way through and 42B is deadly from the side and is getting stouter every day as she matures. DAMERON FIRST LCASS

This has been a very consistent mating on Lady Impression. A full sister was Reserve Grand Champion Female for the Pender family at the Futurity and another full sister is being shown now by Allison Davis and was Third Overall at this year’s Atlantic National Junior Show. We think this one has those capabilities as well.
LOTS 44 - 47 ... We put a lot of pride in the level of show heifers we produce, but I personally take even more pride in the level of bred females we offer every year. We have had numerous of the bred angus females that we have sold pay for or even triple what the initial investment was on the first calf for their new owners. These four Lady impressions bred females all sired by different bulls, represent the best of what we can offer, and further prove the consistent quality this cow can produce. I hope these females will suit you as well as they do me. Each one is a little different and offers a different genetic twist. When someone shows up to look at my Angus bred heifers it truly makes my day and is very rewarding in what we are trying to accomplish as a breeding program.

LOT 48A - They don’t make them any sexier from the side than this one. We think this 5029 donor is going to be our next in-line top producing donor. 5029 is a model Angus female that milks as good as any cow in the herd, with a perfect udder and perfect feet.
LOT 48B - Retaining 50% embryo interest after show career.
There are a lot of angus calves you must wait and be very patient with just to see if you have anything. This female was NOT one of those. She has been an absolute stunner since she hit the ground and has never missed a beat. She is the perfect combination of beauty and grace with stoutness and flexibility. I talk about this heifer a lot when asked which ones are my favorites.

This female is another example of the quality of bred heifers we are selling and another example of why we think 5029 is going to be a can’t miss donor. This female has so much quality from the side but is just as impressive when you analyze her down her top and from behind.

This female is a perfect example of what the bred females in this sale are capable of. This heifer’s mother was purchased by my Uncle Randy out of a past sale. He was a sharp cowboy. This Blacklist daughter puts an incredible amount of good into one package. This will be one that a lot of people like as she continues to hair up. This female is good beef cattle. PVF INSIGHT 0129

Retaining 50% embryo interest after her show carreer.
Without a doubt this is the most unique heifer calf in the sale. There might be some that walk right by her and assume she is a ShorthornPlus or a MaineTainer and not an Angus. This is without a doubt the stoutest most powerfully built angus female we have bred to date. She defies logic in the way she can move all of that impressive mass with such flex and ease. She is also very hairy and still cool necked. This female opens the potential for some different avenues both showing and breeding her in terms of the direction you go. Either way I believe this female will do something special in her future.

This Envious Blackbird continues to be a dominant and consistent donor for us. This female is a full sister to “Buckles”, the Supreme Champion Female for Samantha VanVorhis this past Cattleman’s Congress. We really like this female and think she might have a little more size and length than some of her sisters. This is a tremendous heifer from a proven mating.
SOUTH POINT 8362 P R LADY 909 4200-587
This female is another result of a bred heifer purchase by my Uncle Randy. It meant a lot to me that he believed in our Angus breeding program. This is a very impressive South Point daughter that will make an excellent brood matron. Her mating to Monaco will bring in some exciting new Genetics. STEVENSON TURNING POINT

This has become a super successful mating for us. Two from this mating sold last year, including our high seller to Samantha VanVorhis that is coming off a nice reserve win at the Ohio State fair. Both heifers cover all of the fundamentals in terms of structure, balance, and volume. These two should be very competitive.

These three beautiful Bismarck daughters are a perfect example of what we are trying to do with our Angus breeding program. We are trying to produce show cattle that can win the biggest shows at the highest level without abandoning why we all love and raise Angus cattle to start with. In this business you should be able to invest for your child a female that can work for them even after they are done hanging banners. We feel these three Bismarck daughters represent the kind of cattle that can do both. We really think a lot of these three and believe there are a couple donors in them.

This Top Line Lady 814 descendent is next in line to be a model Angus female. I always loved the 814 cow and how she produced. This young heifers Watchout mother is one of the best cows on the property.
Bred to Blacklist with SEXED HEIFER semen; due December 16, 2024.
Here is a full sister to Conley Express. This female has been extremely good to us. Her first daughter was sold to the Brad Shrick and the Ellerman family and was shown very successfully. Her second daughter was shown by our daughter Piper and was Reserve Grand Bred and Owned female at The Futurity and Fourth Overall at the Atlantic Nationals. This is a proven female entering the prime of her life and will be ready to IVF early in the year after she has what should be yet another top-notch heifer calf. There should be very little gamble on this investment.
