Lady Crystal 2105
Every once in a while in this game you’re gonna hit a home run, maybe even a grand slam. Don’t take it for granted! Cherish every single hit because you’re also gonna see fouls and strikes from time to time. Don’t ever forget, you can’t hit if you don’t swing!
The 2105 cow is hitting it out of the park right now and our family couldn’t be more proud that we bred this female. We’ve been involved in Shorthorns since 1960 and she is taking us into the next 30 years!

1A
Sapphire 2401 is really, really special! She’s been a standout since day one and has stayed in the mind’s eye of everyone who has seen her. She was shown successfully at NJSS, winning her class in the Bred & Owned Show. This heifer has it all – a tremendous amount of stoutness and an abundance of style to go along with. She is ultra-complete with a levelness of top and square of hip that gives her that show heifer look. If you’d like a really good redneck roan with great hair and a great disposition that’s already been shown and is ready to compete at the highest levels, this heifer is for you!
LOT 1B
So, Emerald 2404 has been a little “greener” all along. However, on picture day she began to make her move and some say she is the one for the long haul. I certainly don’t know who is going to be the better producer but I do know that both of these heifers are high quality individuals that can compete anywhere! Emerald 2404 is super good through the center portion of her body, square in her design and very attractive when she gets her head up and ears forward…she is a real show heifer type!
LOT 1C
This one is as good as it gets! Crystal Dream is a stout-made, big-bodied “Show Heifer Deluxe!”
An excellent individual phenotypically, and genetically she’s a Dream Maker x 434P daughter which makes her an elite donor prospect. It was truly difficult to decide to offer her, that’s why we’re retaining half embryo interest. Consider LCCC truly “invested” in the exciting future of this great female!

The donor of Lot 2 sold in the 2021 Great Shorthorn Revival as a heifer calf and was one of the top-selling females. She went on to win her division in the 2021 NAILE Open Show. After several competitive outings as a big bred heifer, she won her class within a very competitive division at 2022 NAILE. Next, she produced an outstanding bull calf who teamed up with her to capture the Division X Champion Cow Calf Pair honors at the 2023 National Junior Show.
Lady Crystal 2105 is believed by many good cowmen to be as close to 434P as any of her many great offspring have been. Combining Direct Deposit’s powerful Margie 950 genetics with 2105 brings a new dimension that will be difficult to match. You’ll see this heifer on the leading edge in the show ring and the donor pen.

Armstrong Lady Crystal 2105 has been gaining attention lately! From Champion Cow/Calf honors at the 2023 National Junior Shorthorn Show to her Red Knight daughter, Lot 1A, who created quite a buzz among breeders in Timonium. Her daughters who sell as Lots 1B and 1C are further evidence of her dominant influence! There have been many daughters of the great 434P, and to call 2105 the best one would be hard to do. However, when you compare 434P and 2105 phenotypically, several cowmen with “good eyes” say there has not been one as closely patterned as 2105!
434P-6
If you’ve been paying attention to the latest trends, you’ll recognize that the most popular mating in the breed is Red Knight x Lady Crystal.
This combo keeps producing champions at the highest levels!
As the 434P’s continue to age, and Red Knight semen becomes even more rare, you should also recognize you’re not going to find ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES like this one very often...if at all.

Right Direction which makes her a sister to many, many GREAT ONES!
The Lady Crystal 434P family is producing dominating females from coast to coast. That is why every top herd in the country has a Crystal in their maternal arsenal! Right Direction semen is very scarce and that only solidifies the position of Lady Crystal 1252 and accelerates her potential to produce a great one. Phenotypically, 1252 is hard to fault. When we purchased her we knew we’d mate her to Red Knight for sure. As scarce as Red Knight semen is, these eggs have a lot of value. The Aviator heifer pregnancy takes the principle of “supply and demand” to a whole new level! These are show heifers and future donors. Don’t miss out on this great opportunity.

CRYSTAL’S LUCY ET 2012 NJSS Grand Champion Female Full Sister to Dam of Lot
The dam of Lot 7 embryo package is a 3/4 sister to CF CSF Crystal’s Swan who won OKC, NJSS and NAILE for Houston Ferree. The fact that Crystal’s Swan 217 did enough winning to be named runner-up Early Spring Yearling Female for the South Central Region proves that phenotypically she is a force on her own. The proven genetics behind her are an added bonus. We mated Red Knight with Crystal’s Swan 217 to produce a show heifer deluxe that will become a donor extraordinaire. As scarce as Red Knight semen is getting, you sure don’t want to miss the opportunity to add this mating to you Revival shopping list under the category: Herd Builder!
In 2019, upon my retirement as a United Airlines Captain, we expanded our Angus cattle business of many years into the Shorthorn breed. I approached Steve about buying a show heifer/donor prospect. He quickly answered, “The Margie 1914 heifer calf is the most elite female in the sale and you should seriously consider buying her.” When I saw her, I agreed, right to the last bid of $23,000. Two years later, her first natural calf, Margie 2124, sold to Tadmore Farms for $46,000! 2124 is pictured winning NAILE Early Spring Calf Champion and Fort Worth Reserve Grand Champion. She and 2378, her half sister by Lookout pictured on page 9, are proof of the leadership 1914 will provide to a breeding program with “above all” aspirations!

It is our privilege to celebrate the 23rd Annual Revival Sale and we will be honored for you to join us
We were inspired to create The Great Shorthorn Revival in 2001 on a sale weekend trip with Clint Tomson, age 92 at that time.
on-site or online!
Clint was a Shorthorn man from birth, an international show judge, salesman extraordinaire, and he served as Executive Secretary of American Shorthorn Association from 1941 to 1951. He left the association to join his boyhood Shorthorn friend Frank Harding, and Frank’s father F.W. Harding, in forming American Live Stock Insurance Co., but Clint never left behind his love for the breed he helped make great.
Steve kicked off two days of discussion with a great question that had perplexed him for some time, “Clint, how are we going to get Shorthorn breeders to focus again on the cow families that made the breed great?”
Without hesitation, Clint held forth with a marketing lesson like none we’d ever had. He started with, “Steve, you’re going to have to create an ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY. You can’t just tell people the cow families are important. You have to show them! And show them right in their pocketbook, where it counts the most!”
Revival Consignors work together to present...
The greatest variety of desirable, marketable Shorthorn genetics from proven cow families.
A wide range of Shorthorn investment options that will improve your herd, and increase in value.
An opportunity to see the results of cutting edge genetics to help make future mating decisions.

PREGNANCY INSURANCE • The Revival strongly encourages buyers of pregnancy lots to invest in pregnancy insurance. The policy covers a live birth and the first 49 days of life. Cost is 15% of the purchase price for 30 days, and 17.5% for 6 months. For heifer pregnancy insurance contact Jeanne Conover, Conover Insurance Services, at 515-491-1335 by October 7, 2024.
RETAINED FLUSH RIGHTS
• Sellers who have retained the right to flush a specific female are responsible for all expenses and the coordination of services (timing and location) at the buyer’s convenience. It is not unusual to conduct multiple ET sessions (conventional or IVF) to achieve the minimum quantity of embryos desired.
DNA GENOTYPING & GENETIC TESTING • A DNA genotype is utilized in establishing parentage, determining the presence of a genetic condition, and to produce genomically enhanced EPDs (GE-EPDs). Animals do not have to be DNA genotyped, or free of a genetic condition, to be registered. However, if an animal becomes an A.I. sire or donor dam all required genetic testing must be completed and a DNA record must be on file with ASA prior to registering any progeny. Buyers are urged to consult the association website for the most up-to-date test results for all genetic conditions.
Making a purchase in the Great Shorthorn Revival creates the eligibility to consign to future sales. Contact Steve French to discuss potential lots!

The dam of 9169, DFS Margie 6109, is considered the matriarch of the modern Margies from which multiple prolific lines have stemmed. You may remember the story of the Miss Margie 9169 breeding project Lynn Ewald and I took on. (The story was featured in the 2022 Revival catalog. ) I'll admit it was a fairly risky deal, but it was very well worth it to create the three daughters we achieved: two by Worldwide and 2190 by Current Commodity, who sells as Lot 22. I should mention that you may hear us refer to 2190 as "Missy." She's been one of Joan's favorite females for very good reasons and she bestowed her nickname early on.
2190 was shown by our good friend Charlie Sutherland at the 2022 NJSS where she earned Reserve Division Champion. After that big win, she returned to LCCC to proceed in her intended role in the herd. Current Commodity daughters make great cows! 2190 is young and will be a front pasture fixture for many years to come. For her only IVF flush, we mated her two ways, Red Knight and Direct Deposit, and she produced 9 embryos. Two of each sell as a package of four in Lot 22A. The package of matings to two very popular sires is a unique opportunity to access a great young female with a big time future!

LITTLE CEDAR MISS MARGIE WW 2210 ET Dam of Lot 23
Featured in 2022 Revival Sale as Lot 1A and purchased by DeLisle Farms for $37,500
The dam of Lot 23 is a Worldwide maternal sister to Lot 22. Miss Margie 2210 was the Lot 1 feature and top-seller of the 2022 Revival, purchased by DeLisle Farms. 2210's mating to Equator produced the exceptional roan Margie EQ. She is deep and thick with a great hip. Lot 23 will definitely show and become a lead female in a progressive program. (Equator semen is on sale on 9/28!)

Worldwide heifers out of our Margie cows have been some of the most consistent calves we have raised. They are sound, clean fronted and bold in their rib design. This heifer has extra extension upfront, incredible look from the profile, and her center dimension sets her apart. This female will be a standout in the showring and in the pasture as well.
LOT 25
Lot 24 & Lot 25 are ready for young juniors thanks to Adalynn's time, talent and effort!
Equator has been gaining more and more attention within the breed, and, tho' it's not etched in stone yet, we believe this hei fer may be "the one" who makes his mark! She is extremely dimensional in the center portion of her body, and powerful when you get behind her. Dream Girl 403 sure looks great today, and backed by the Margie's Dream Girl family, we are certain her best days are yet to come.

“OH
MY, Good Lawd!”
I think Shaboozey would say, “Pour me up a double shot of Lot 27B!” Have you ever seen a Blooded Ruby heifer preg sell? I can’t remember one! Many daughters of 3278 have commanded over $30k. A Perfection daughter out of this POWER COW could be “lights out,” and her pedigree will be one of the hottest in the country with donor potential.
If you’re serious about being on the cutting edge, Lot 27B is an investment you must consider. Please note that both sire and dam are DS carriers. (As Jerry Seinfeld says: “Not that there’s anything wrong with that.” )

She is the full sister to our Ruby donors 3252 and 2405Z. We think 7665E has the potential to be a breed leader. Her first ET calves are just now coming this fall so with these early 2025 heifers on the way, you will be in on a line of Rubys that are sure to ascend to dominance. Red Knight or Evolution? Everything is RIGHT about both!

Her stellar heifer calf, CF Traveling Ruby 394 EV, topped Cates Farms sale last fall at $175,000 and has stacked many purple ribbons. This is a rare opportunity offered by Greenhorn Cattle Company that allows a visionary breeder to gain access to a mating of the future that we value greatly.

Blanford Pierce
Keeper of the Legacy
June 8, 1938 –March 19, 2024
Blanford was the fourth generation to operate Woodlawn Farms, L.B. Pierce and Sons, founded in 1871. For over ten decades, Woodlawn’s pursuit of perfection set a high standard of excellence for the Angus breed. With never more than 125 cows, Angus cattle were the only source of income for the Pierce family for four generations. Blan continued the family’s Angus cattle business until its dispersal in May, 2005. Two years later, he and Joan began to acquire Shorthorns to bring the history of Woodlawn Farms full circle. You see, Blan’s great grandfather, B.R. Pierce, raised Shorthorns for ten years prior to shifting to Angus in 1881. Blan and Joan have been studious, actively interested Shorthorn breeders and Revival consignors. And they've had a lot of fun doing it!
With deep appreciation for the lessons of his ancestors and a sense of obligation to pass it on, Blanford established the Woodlawn Scholarship Endowment with Angus Foundation, the first fund so gifted from an Angus breeder. Blan and Joan have faithfully supported SYDF at Revival Sales with generosity and enthusiasm!

Master Cowman
October 9, 1954 –February 25, 2024
Q and Vicki first came to The Revival on a weekend cattle trip with Angus friends, the Pierces and McMahons. Q was impressed with the opportunities here and they left Shorthorn breeders! Missing Mirage 18 is the most significant female Q owned, but his most impactful purchase was the Lot X Shorthorn Steer that sold at the end of the sale in 2013. That steer was the jumpstart for Q’s nephew, David Smith, to get started showing cattle. Few juniors have achieved the number of national championships that David did, in EVERY major beef breed, and he remains a breeder today as a young adult. Q loved juniors! He contributed countless “hunnerd” dollar bills, and his good, good heart to help kids get started, learn, succeed, and most of all, become lifelong breeders, just like Q.

Martha’s Dream is balanced, correct and complete and we know she has a bright future ahead. Dream Maker semen was always in limited supply and his daughters will always be in high demand. The influence of Aviator and Martha’s Bo on the maternal side makes this female a valuable “investment package” that will build your breeding program.
The Revival remembers...
Extraordinary Heifer Mom and Steve French’s “Favorite Mother-in-law”
July 27, 1931 – August 28, 2024
From 2002 through 2014, my parents, David and Mary Ann McMahon, missed only one Revival Sale. They went to an Angus sale instead, but they never made that choice again! Coming to Michigan and having fun with Shorthorn folks was the highlight of their fall season. They bid on and bought a lot of Shorthorns, and contributed tens of thousands to support Shorthorn Youth Development in Revival fundraisers. My dad couldn’t travel in 2015, and he died in 2016. So the last nine years, Mary Ann didn’t want to make the trip to Michigan in September without him. We know she missed the Revival Sale , but through her late 80’s and early 90’s, on the morning of the sale, she never failed to send a text (Yes, a text!) to me...

Good from the ground up, good calving ease numbers and a feminine style. She is going to get better with age. Her grandsire, Eionmor Mr. Gus 80, adds a little twist to her pedigree that is intriguing for many students of the breed. Mr. Gus daughters were known for thickness, feed efficiency and excellent milk production. Note that he has influenced the maternal side of Lot 52, Kendra, as well. Mated to Worldwide, you can expect substance and style in the next generation Deedra will produce for you.

Red Knight daughter Felecia 2408, is as good as they get. Square-made in her design, deep through the center portion of her body, she’s extremely feminine, and has all the right structural angles.
While she may “read” slightly greener in the catalog, don’t second-guess. She is really, really good. You can ask the guys in Dunlap if Red Knight x Red Reward Daughter works, but I think we all know the answer to that!
The Revival was started to preserve and promote the great cow families of the breed and many, many great females and bulls have passed thru the ring here. It was Steve’s idea for Ben to show the dam of Lots 56A/56B for Woodlawn Farms after they bought Felecia 1830 in the Revival. What a great experience for our family to know Blan and Joan, and we were so fortunate they agreed to sell the powerful Felecia 1830 to us after we finished showing her. Our decision to buy Felecia was one of the best we’ve ever made! We tapped into an exceptional cow family and have seen the fruits of our investment in her daughters like these selling.
*x43780311/6/2024 Red w/ White Marks Polled 2402
Felecia
The Worldwide x Felecia mating has been one of the most consistent we have produced. Notice the dams of both Worldwide and Felecia 1830 carry the MAV prefix of the Vogel breeding program in Iowa. There’s nothing coincidental here – they are the right kind!

We purchased her granddam from the Freeds of Oklahoma for a donor, and later sold half interest to the Betteridge Family for $10,500. We now have the dam of Lot 57 in our donor pen. Her Red Stallion outcross pedigree has made many good ones that have been extremely profitable for us. Countess Mandy will take you to the back drop consistently and to sales like The Revival with her offspring.

When full brothers MAV Charisma and MAV Bayou were young sires, we had a choice of semen from one of the two. We chose Bayou and, although Charisma took off in popularity, Bayou’s daughter Viki 225 (granddam of Lot 64) had all the right stuff for sure. We sold all her calves easily and kept her Wingman daughter for our own herd. (Wingman is the full brother to Aviator, and you know we like Aviator daughters. Everyone does!)
The dam of Lot 64, Vicki 1940, is one of our better cows, feminine with a great structure and udder. And there’s one more thing you need to know: we LOVE her daughter, Vicki 2253, the first calf heifer offered as Lot 64. She is very feminine, big-footed and big boned, with great neck extension. Her udder is high quality with correct size, shape and teat placement. We were planning to keep this female but ya’ gotta dig deep to be successful among the competitive consignments in the Revival Sale! Lot 64A is of those hard to find 1872 daughters. Gentle by nature with the build and numbers that will make her very interesting as she matures. Three generations of AI breeding; 1872, Wingman, Fireball should be a sure bet!

Like her dam, 2115 has been easy to work with and we have confidence she will be an asset to any herd. She’s carrying the service of Show Bull of the Year Currency and we envision superb results from this mating. Lot 65A, the eye catching roan 1872 daughter, is well-balanced and matches from end to end. She blends smoothly with great extension to head and neck. Fireball in the mix along with a feminine, sound structure, and a sweet nature gives this young heifer a future in your show pen or herd.

When I mated Cowboy Up to Picture Perfect it was with the intent of building a great cow prospect. Job well done x 2! The Cowgals may not be as “showy” as some others, but if you envision these two as “beef factories” you’ll see what $$$ looks like! We usually only sell one Picture Perfect daughter, but these two sisters are so unique that I decided to feature both. Teagan will verify that Picture Perfects have great dispositions!

Here’s the Backstory of Lots 70A & 70B
Donor dam of Lots 70A and 70B, Tamale Too 6000D, was twice a national champion at two different breed shows in the summer of 2017: NJSS Grand Champion ShorthornPlus and Chi Junior National 3rd Overall.
When I bought the flush that John Sullivan donated to the 2017 Leading a Legacy fundraiser for the National Junior Shorthorn Show, I never thought that seven years later I’d be offering two SUPER ShorthornPlus females!
Ferrari was our choice for the flush mating because of friend Andy Hamann’s superb full sister, SULL H/F Crystal Judy 1471, 2018 NAILE Supreme Champion, and the elite daughters Ferrari sired in the Sullivan and Schaefer/Tice programs.
Lot 70A, Tamale 2406, has had big fan base among summer visitors to LCCC.
Lot 70B, Tamale 2410, has really come on lately and I’m not sure which one is better!
I do know both will compete on the national level. Come take a look for yourself – they are worth the trip!
