Greetings and an annual Welcome to our “Don’t You Think it’s Time” bull sale. That title is the persistent calling of the past, present, and future in our efforts to bringing value to all cattlemen, both purebred and commercial. What an exciting time to be in the beef business as we see new records set every day. What a better time to invest in the future of your enterprise whether it be seedstock, pushing your cow herd to new levels, or pursuing excellence in carcass and efficiency in a feedyard, it all starts with a solid and predictable herd bull battery. The Shorthorn breed continues to surge and having spent the week in the Yards in Denver, I think anyone would agree, it was a tremendous showing across the board. Our breed and its breeders reached a new level of respect within the purebred industry.
As always, we are pleased to offer these bulls with our dear friends and astute Shorthorn breeders, the Gilman Family. Our operations continue to challenge ourselves in improving our genetic platforms while staying true to our foundational standards in sustainability.
I would like to thank everyone who has been a supporter of ours over the years, some for several generations. We couldn’t do it without you, and we also look forward to all the new interest we get every year. We also couldn’t showcase these bulls without the Will family and the “Cow Palace” facility. It’s a great venue and we encourage everyone to join us on sale day. They are also a great part of our Shorthorn family and presenting bulls to prove that. As always, we are available anytime to discuss the bulls and stay tuned to our platforms with updates on videos, carcass evaluations, and other important information.
~ Nathan & Dale Studer
Thank you all for taking time to sort through the offering. As we put this catalog together the cattle market is setting all-time highs, creating optimism and excitement for the American cattlemen. Therefore, there is no better time to invest in maternal-improving genetics for your core cow herd. Once again, our partners & long-time Shorthorn breeders Studer Shorthorns have put together a powerful offering. We take pride in the fact that the dams behind these bulls work for themselves, are held to a high standard on fertility and udder qualities. The bulls speak for themselves as they are fed in a matter to properly grow and mature, not for maximum gain. The most important day for us as seedstock producers is not our sale day, it is our CUSTOMERS sale day. Whether it be a sale barn, packing plant or production sale YOUR success is our success. As always, please reach out with any questions or for more information. Take note of our trucking policy for the bulls as we are committed to get you your purchase as economical as possible. We look forward to seeing you on sale day or speaking beforehand.

STUDER’S MASTER MIND 3 M
One of the coolest bulls we’ve raised and excited for his future. Master Mind was the lead bull in our pen in Denver, he presents himself as a first class phenotype in terms of foot, bone, balance and structure. The Sonya cow family
never misses and this Taylor Made daughter is one of the best. Combine that with the growth and power of Flash and you get bull that also balances up just as well on paper. Top 10 in WW and YW with top 5 in both $BMI and $CPI. Don’t miss a great opportunity! Retaining 50% Semen Interest.

New Heights is the right bull for the times in the Shorthorn breed. As I start to write this footnote I can’t help but think back to 2 years ago and reminisce on this bull’s sire, All In. We had a great deal of pride in that bull for what he
accomplished in his phenotype, genotype and actual data measured. All In brought all aspects of the industry together, something few bulls of any breed have ever done. How does New Heights fit in here? He is all the above in a more moderate, roan package. Want to make replacement females? Fancy heifers? Structurally correct, good testicled, early maturing, performance bulls? This is your answer. He presents himself much like his sire, up headed, sound, moderate, dense, big ribbed, large square testicles and correctly shaped feet. This bull took off across the picture pen for his video and showed himself off effortlessly, and I heard Dad say, “Yep just like his daddy did here 2 years ago.” So much truth in that statement. There was much debate here about maintaining spring possession of this bull. Kathleen told me we have to sell this kind of bull and that AIing is good family bonding time. SO, He sells in his ENTIRETY possession and semen. We hope you can join us on February 22nd.

Ronan x Ruby & Ronan x Myrtle……What a sale feature.
3M is such a remarkable bull, everyone that has seen him is an immediate fan. His picture says it all, big bodied, correct, good headed, and large scrotal. He is a great option for heifers or cows without losing performance and eye appeal and he is homo polled. My honest opinion on this bull is if we find one just like him with a different pedigree, count us in.
18M is a unique bull offering for us. One of the stoutest hipped, biggest topped, big boned bulls ever offered here. Yet, he comes with softness and is top 10% in maternal EPD’s. Both these bulls come from the best cow families we have to offer and out of one of the highest use AI sires in the breed right now, JSF Ronan.

3 years ago we sold Liberty Valance to Bowman Superior Genetics of Indiana. By the looks of his first daughters about to calve, the udder quality is going to be superb, much like his dam 5F. 5F’s most recent calf, 35M, has been a standout for some time here. I believe he does something unique for a Shorthorn bull. He combines a naturally deep, massive rib in a high performing, high marbling yet moderate birthweight package. He boasts one of the heaviest weaning weights recorded here. Breeding options are unlimited with this bull on today’s mainstream Shorthorn pedigrees. 36M, a son of Liberty Valence, comes to us in a dynamic calving ease and maternal package. Frontline ranks in the top 1% for STAY and $CPI. With that, he has a sleek smooth shoulder, clean joints and is long bodied. He carries the Right Choice ACE badge for his excellent calving ease. Expect this bull to clean up front ends and structure on females, yet sire low birthweight calves and maternal females.

Why use a Shorthorn bull in your commercial herd? Here is your proof. The two red bulls are a stellar set of ¾ brothers by the Red Angus AI phenom, Bieber CL Stockmarket E119. The Shorthorn x Red Angus cross is a favorite of ours. 4M is a stouter, slightly heavier version of the brothers and that shows in his EPD profile, Top 1% YW and MARB. 17M is a better calving ease option and smoother shouldered, Top 3% BW, MARB and $CPI. A set of daughters by these two bulls is the ticket, both dams have great udders and weaned off these two impressive individuals, while breeding back for February calving. Both bulls rank in the top 3% for CEM. 202M is a black hided version of his sire, tons of body, big testicles and high performing. His dam is one heck of an Angus cow. Moderate framed, feminine fronted, ideal udder structure and she has great feet. Ask Matt Woolfolk about what this cow and calf looked like as a pair last summer. They were impressive. Well done Mike and Cameron Christensen. I hope you find the value of heterosis and maternal heterosis as important as we do, to maximize profitability in the commercial cow herd. Here is your chance to try it with a half blood Shorthorn red or black, you decide.

This guy is just built different! A Worldwide son that is a big, stout, rugged beast with loads of hair. He’s got great running gear under him and will definitely be a cow changer. Out of our elite donor cow, GR Slim Sydney “Blue” who needs no
introduction. She’s had several high sellers this year already. I hope someone sees him as the breeding machine that I do. DNA Pending - DS Potential, TH Potential.

If this dude doesn’t get you excited, then you need to check your pulse. This Break the Bank son is impressive in all aspects but especially starting from the ground up. His foot size and shape is outstanding and transitions into an
WW - lbs abundance of bone. He’s cool necked, big barreled, and square hipped. This one will be hard to let go!

THE BIG TICKETS
GILMAN’S ABRAM’S 80M
Rugged, real world, beef bull. If you want moderate framed cattle with tons of shape and rib, here is your answer. The stoutest Big Ticket son to date and he has been noticed by several for that very attribute. He made the trip to Denver
as an alternate to our Reserve Champion Pen of 3. His dam has produced stand out calves every year. He got his name for a reason! Abram’s Tank. Homo polled and ranking in the top 1% for $BMI. Weaning weight ratio of 114.

One of our younger bulls but has really come into his own since fall. He is a full sib to Bill Ziats new herd sire, Gilman’s Cascade 33L. Cut from the same mold only in a solid red package with some added performance. I love how soft and
ADJ. WW 672 lbs deep 113M carries himself, while being structurally correct and sound. His young Cowboy Up dam has grown into a good looking feminine cow with a very desirable udder.

THE FULL SIBS IN BLOOD
GILMAN’S SARGE 125M
A lot of people are going to find this bull regardless of where he is in the catalog. He is the real deal. The closest in type and kind to Basin, from the Big Tickets. The Minnie cow family he stems from has grown in large numbers year after
year and for good reason. 125M is a deep sided, ideal profiling, long fronted, calving ease bull. He is a maternal sib to Gilman’s Royal Flush 63K, owned by Loving Farms. I thought it was unique to have two full sibs in blood, like the bull and heifer we have on this page. Want to make females like that roan heifer? Give 125M a look.

Retaining 1 flush with a minimum of 8 transferrable embryos at our expense and the buyer’s convenience.
Probably the toughest footnote for me to write. Only because I don’t know where
to start. When the E.D.G.E. show was being developed, this was the type of female I was envisioning for it. When I saw that Jr Nationals was going to host an E.D.G.E. show for juniors, I immediately knew this heifer would be a great fit for that show. Minnie shows so much upside with her whistle clean front end, flexibility at the ground and depth of body. On top of that she shows excellent birth to weaning spread in her EPD’s and ranks in the top 5% for CED, Milk, STAY, $BMI, $CPI. The guess work on genomics and breaking her to lead is all done. Dad and I would love to see this one in Grand Island next June and will be there to help in anyway needed.
The story of the Myrtles is only beginning here but one that could write the future for our herd & the breed. The dams and sisters of these two heifers rank in the top 10 of the entire Shorthorn registry for $CPI. Not only that, they are the tip of the spear for convenience traits, Stayabilty and are the type of cows built to be sustainable for today & tomorrow.
Exciting offer from the Myrtle Cow family. 76M a full sib to the sons we offered last year, 50J and 59K. She offers breed leading WW, YW, $BMI and $CPI in a deep sided, long bodied package. She has a great mellow disposition and would be a great option for a younger junior looking to participate in the E.D.G.E show. 112M is the natural calf of 50J and a maternal sib to the bull we just sold in Denver, Gilman’s General 42M ET. She is a stout constructed, long bodied female with a lot of lower quarter shape. Invest in confidence in these two heifers as these types of genetics don’t come by often.
