e would like to welcome everyone to the 10th edition of “Our Commitment” Bid-Off Elite Female Sale. It’s hard to believe that another year has passed by so quickly, decisions have been made that will impact the 2018 calf crop and we have begun making plans for what the 2019 offering will look like. We will continue to focus on raising and offering some of the best prospects in the country and helping our customers reach their goals. The mantra “right kind, right way, right people” started as a slogan, but over time has given our program greater purpose for why we get up every day and work hard to make our goals and customer goals, achievements. Each year we strive to breed and raise the “right kind’ geared for both the show ring and production. In this pursuit, we spend countless hours planning matings and re-planning them to ensure our program can offer some of the top prospects in the country each year from multiple breeds. We also work diligently to do everything the “right way” maintaining high integrity, putting in the extra hours of work that would be easier left to chance and at times take our licks to hopefully one day be rewarded for our efforts of what is right and raising the right kind. The last part of the statement is about working with the “right people” we truly value the relationships that have been built over the years and look forward to the many new relationships that are yet to come. The opportunity to be a role model for the youth of the cattle industry is something that we are extremely humbled by and do not take the responsibility lightly. “Right kind, right way, right people” that is Our Commitment. 2017 started off much like we left off in 2016 with a bang! In January our program was represented by two breed champions or reserves at the National Western and had Supreme Champion Female in the NWSS Prospect Heifer Show. We were also honored with raising the Champion ShorthornPlus at Kansas City, Reserve Champion ShorthornPlus in Louisville, 3rd Overall Supreme Champion Female at the Minnesota State Fair, as well as 5th Overall ShorthornPlus at Junior Nationals. Several breed champion honors were captured across the Midwest in Illinois, Iowa and Minnesota. We now anxiously await the fall major show season and what that has in store for our program. Like always, the cattle offered are the cream of the crop. If you are in the market for a Shorthorn, ShorthornPlus, MaineTainer, Chianina or Percentage Simmental female we encourage you to stop by and see our offering. We are committed to raising and selling the RIGHT KIND, doing things the RIGHT WAY and working with the RIGHT PEOPLE.

OUR COMMITMENT We know that there are hundreds of places to go and purchase your junior projects. Because there is more competition and places to go buy from you and your family are a direct beneficiary of that competition. Each year the cattle get better and the list of services from these operations grow. The philosophy of how we operate at Steck Cattle has not changed since inception. We have always been customer focused, offered elite seedstock and have been service driven. It is our goal to work with families to make their dreams come true. To help in making those dreams a reality we offer assistance with daily care, feeding, show day preparation, showmanship and even provide assistance with what to breed your female to, so that you can maximize the return on your investment. We are 100% committed to you and are there every step of the way from start to finish. That is “Our Commitment.” We work with families at all levels with sometimes very different goals in mind. Goals that may or may not include winning a banner. As parents we understand that there is much more to this than just what was won inside of the ring and it is often more more important what is learned outside the ring than what is won inside it. Whether your goal is to build a network of friends, gain valuable life experiences, improve your showmanship or win an elusive banner that you have been chasing we are here to help. Your goals are our goals and we will help push you to accomplish them without hesitation. Many families may start their show career with other operations and come to our place with a shortened time frame to make their dreams a reality. We hope that you choose us to be alongside you when there is just one chance left and it’s all on the line. This is where we shine, chips down and all in. Know this, whether you have purchased cattle from us for one year or 10 years we treat everyone the same, the way we would want to be treated, and will work hard to achieve your goals. We look forward to working with each and every one of you, building friendships from across the country, experiencing new and exciting things and most of all making memories that will last a life time.

2017 will be the first time the Chelsie family has lead off the “Our Commitment” sale. We felt that it was important to give credit where it was due. This year we offer the LAST direct Chelsie 269M daughter to EVER be born. The Chelsie cow is without a doubt one of the industries’ greats with few cows reaching her accolades, whether you are comparing banners hung, counting dollars generated or the consistent quality produced. Chelsie 269M has raised a breed champion at EVERY major show in the country (Louisville, Denver, Kansas City, Fort Worth and Junior Nationals) in the last five years and has done it in multiple breeds - a feat that to my knowledge has never been done before. There is victory running thru this cow family’s veins. We’d like to take the opportunity to thank Kevin Heath and his family, who have been tremendous partners on 269M. We’ve worked together to create an outstanding cattle from 269M that will continue to defy non-believers and write their own history.

STECK CHELSIE C 701E
Chelsie 701E speaks for herself. She has the elite quality that is demanded in the show ring to win at the largest of shows. Extreme in terms of neck extension, huge sweeping rib, stout and square in her hip with huge feet and big legs. Chelsie 701E only gets better when on the move. She is step for step every time, soft at the ground and maintains her perfect lines as she travels. If she were the first from this mating I would be confident with her elite phenotype, but knowing that she is backed by some of the most dominant show females in recent times it’s a near guarantee she will hang banners as a calf and as a bred. However, maybe the best thing about this female and this cow family is that when the show halter is taken off for the last time, she will be a money printing machine in the pasture for several years to come. Just take a look at what her sisters are producing in lots 2-6 and trust me these calves are just the tip of the iceberg for what’s to come from the Chelsie cow family. If your family is serious about showing on a national level you had better make it to Woodstock, Minnesota by sale day. Also, for anyone wondering about attitude, this Chelsie is tame enough for a junior of any age to show.

Without question one of the most exciting days at Steck Cattle was calving the next generation of the Chelsie cow family. This is the first purebred Shorthorn from the Charisma X Chelsie 269M daughters to ever be born. If anyone was worried about what the next generation of Shorthorn females will look like here is a glimpse into the future. 702 has been a standout since day one. Her combination of cocky elite presence, bold body shape, tremendous power and flawless feet and legs has us fired up to get her into the show ring. This young female has all of the little extras that it takes to move a female from the good category to the great. Her mother was one of our favorites as a show heifer winning five supreme titles, as well as being selected as the Grand Champion Female, 2015 MaineTainer Junior Nationals. In fact, she is a National Champion in two breeds, she was also the Grand Champion ShorthornPlus Female, 2014 Ft. Worth Stock Show. There is no doubt in our minds that this female will compete at the highest level of competition and fill trophy cabinets from top to bottom.

We do not strive to be your typical Shorthorn breeders. We want to push the envelope and produce the kind of cattle that can not only compete at the highest levels in the show ring, but when the show career is over go out and make functional cows. Most everyone who has visited our program, whether at a show or at home will comment about how much more true mass and dimension our cattle have. Flat has become a term in our industry made popular by judges to describe one that may be perfect from the side profile, but look like a dairy cattle when you get behind them. Well folks, I may be the only one who thinks this but, when I hear “flat” it doesn’t make me think quality. The only thing we should want “flat” in a female is her shoulder. We should want our cattle to be wedge built, meaning that they are smooth shouldered and get progressively wider from there back, have tremendous body shape and a stout square hip. Chelsie 703E is a great representation of what we are talking about. This one is wedge built, feminine in her neck, balanced in her lines and tremendously wide and square at her hip. She’s been a good one all her life and her disposition is incredible to boot.

The Chelsie cow family will be known far and wide as producers of quality stock regardless of breed. This mating to Broker should be just another testament to their quality. This solid red SimSolution female is outstanding. You will be hard pressed to find a Simmental female that combines this much body, mass, foot and bone, while still looking like a lady up front. Now at the stand you’re going to say wow there is no way she can move good right!?! When she takes off across the pen stepping hole for hole every time, with the perfect flex and reach to her hock and pastern you will be awe struck. If you’re more interested in having a quality animal to show and put in the pasture than a fancy set of numbers then step up to the plate and bid to own. Numbers will go up and down, quality is the only thing that will remain constant. Show her SimSolution or AOB it wont matter good cattle excel.

You can raise cattle for a lifetime and not get them this skinny necked, flat shouldered and absolutely monster bellied, PLUS, still have power and be perfect on their feet and legs. There is no doubt in our minds that 706E will compete at a high level in the show ring. She registers as a 50% Foundation Simmental and can make waves in that arena. We also feel she could make an exceptional Commercial breeding female at many spring shows, state fairs and could show as an AOB in the fall (being a low percentage ShorthornPlus). We cannot wait to get this female into the show ring, as her color will get you noticed, but her quality is what will set you apart.
When we committed ourselves to raising high caliber females it was a dream of ours to see past show ring champions go on to raise cattle equally as great or better then themselves. When the Walker Family, purchased and showed 706E’s mother, 210Z, we were beyond excited about the possibilities. The fact is, those possibilities have turned into reality. 210Z had surpassed our exceptions in the ring and now is doing it as a donor. The most important thing 210Z did is bring our family together with the Walker’s. Folks, if you are not raising cattle because you love this industry and it’s people, then YOU ARE doing it wrong. We could never thank the Walker family enough for their belief in us and our program. Time and time again we are reminded that if you surround yourself with great people, great things will happen.

The Cherri 032 cow has created quite a reputation for producing elite show females at the fall majors. Each of her daughters to date, have won a division at one of the fall major shows, a feat not many cows can claim. Cherri 707 in our opinion is the best built one yet to come from this mating. 707 combines an elite profile and look from the side with a level hip, great set to her hind leg and a tremendous amount of rib shape and volume. These Cherri daughters only get better with age, by the time state fair and the fall show circuit comes around it will be time to pop the bottle and let the good times roll. Heifers like her always have a place in our show string. Let’s make some dreams come true.

One of the best decisions we made was making a long trip to Van Alstyne, Texas in the fall of 2012. As everyone remembers much of the country was in a drought and north Texas was no different. It was there that we laid eyes on a superb built, skinny, roan heifer known as Queen 1424. After walking back and forth thru the heifers for an hour discussing things with Bill, we struck a deal to load her and two others on the trailer and head back north. The Queen cow from day one has been a producer. She has had five heifer calves in a row four being full sisters. Three of which have all won their respective state fairs, 4th overall at Shorthorn Junior Nationals and won divisions at Louisville, Denver and Fort Worth. The 2017 model is no different than her sisters that have come before her. She’s smooth built, great necked, awesome balanced and sound on her feet and legs. The biggest difference in her and her sisters is the color pattern. We have a tremendous amount of confidence in this female’s pedigree and phenotype to not just follow in her sisters’ footsteps, but blaze a new trail of her own in the ring.

DJS ANNDELLE HC 712
Annedelle 712 has just what we look for in a future donor candidate. She’s unique in her build being moderate framed, long necked yet shorter spined and dead level in her hip. She also offers tremendous width from behind while having big feet, an abundance of bone, while still being flexible in her skeleton. 712’s dam is a full sister to our junior herd sire, The Outsider, which has been creating quite a name for himself as of late. The Annedelle cow family has long been a pillar of my families program. They have been extremely competitive in the show ring since the late 80’s and still are competitive today.

DJS FARRAH HC 713
Canadian bred Shorthorns have always been intriguing to me. They possess real world function, body shape, bone and substance. This granddaughter of the great Herspro Banks CP Farrah 8F cow, which was a direct import from Canada and division champion herself at Louisville fits the Canadian bred female description to a “T”. Farrah 712E is ultra maternal and cowy in her look, robust in her rib cage, square in her design and huge footed. This female will not only show and compete, but will fulfil her duties when put to work in the pasture.

Anita 714E has been a farm favorite since birth. She packs as much body shape, width, foot and bone ,as you can put into one, while still being flat in her shoulder attractive thru her front end and super good at the ground. The Anita 001 cow has been a top producer for several years and is building a strong reputation for making cattle that can excel in the show ring. We feel that this female may be her best daughter to date and will be highly competitive this winter and on into next fall.

I don’t know what will catch your eye first - the near perfect color pattern or the quality. Baldy’s are always in high demand, because they get you that extra look in the ring, however when they are matched with the kind of quality that this one possesses the sky is the limit on what she can achieve. Her dam Lucy 351 was selected from the top of the Dunk Cattle Co program in 2014. We felt that we needed to add some Simmental influence into our cow herd and felt that Lucy 351 would be the kind of cow that could make a meaningful impact on our program, while giving our customers the opportunity to compete at a high level within the breed. If you are looking for a highly competitive show heifer and future donor to raise elite purebred females then look no further.

STECK NB MILEY C 716E
Miley 716E is flat out big time! This female excites me like her mother did back when we she was campaigned. And, if you remember her mother, you’ll remember her ability to WIN for a couple of young men from McPherson, Kansas. Boy oh boy, we collected a lot of hardware from east and west of the Mississippi that year. 315A was not only dominant as a calf but continued her winning ways as a bred, capturing even more supreme titles and division banners at the majors. The only difference between this one and her mother is SHE IS BETTER and could not be more current in her type and kind for today’s showring. 716E is wild fronted, big and breeding cattle in her look and yet still possesses the bold body shape, big square hip, elite design and structural integrity needed to win at the highest levels. We feel this female not only will compete as a baby at any of the major shows and jackpots around, but will also continue her winning ways as a bred female all the way thru the fall majors. Being backed by proven producers on the top and bottom of side of her pedigree only ensures her future success. Serious show families and elite producers take note.

To cap this off when set into motion she moves just like they need to. We absolutely love this female’s maternal shape and pattern from the side. 717E is another elite show heifer prospect that will cut a wide swath in the show ring and be a dominant producer in the pasture.
