WE AT BLACK HEREFORD RANCH would like to personally invite each and every one of you to our 17th Annual Bred Female and Bull Sale. I would like to take the opportunity to thank you for your time to sit down and go through this offering. With dozens of sale catalogs in your mailbox and hundreds of online sales going on weekly, I know how time consuming it can be looking for the kind of cattle that fit your program. If you study these pages, you will realize what sets us apart from the crowd.

Come expecting high quality. This is one of our largest and best groups that we have ever assembled.

You can rest assured that we offer you all of our best 2016 model bred heifers and bulls through either our summer or fall COC sales—nothing is held back. We cull hard throughout the year to bring you all of our best. We don’t keep the best and sell the rest. We hold nothing back, and there aren’t many outfits that can truthfully give their customers their word on that! That’s why we have one of the longest standing annual production sales of champion club calf producing females and bulls in the country year after year.

We are very proud of the success that our Cream of the Crop herd bull lineup has had over the years.

There are too many to list that have sired major champions and sale topping high sellers from coast to coast. Predictability and marketability have been bred into them for 40 years. The females we are offering you will make it easier for your bull to sire a deeper quality calf crop and vice versa; the bulls we are selling will make it easier for your cows to be consistent profit makers. We have been working hard to engineer the stout, deep, wide bodied, stout hipped, very attractive kind of cattle by stacking our pedigrees with this type and kind since our very beginning.

We are very honored that some of the most prestigious club calf outfits in the country have gotten their start here or have added on to their existing herds with COC genetics that have helped them kick their production into a higher gear. Our goal is to produce profit maker cattle. Those kind of cattle have what it takes to create repeat customers, and repeat customers are what have made this an industry leading sale for the past 17 years.

We have sold 30 Grand or Reserve Grand Steers at the Texas and Oklahoma major shows, 12 at Houston alone, and over 100 Breed or Reserve Breed Champions plus too many County and District Show Champions to keep track of. If you put the pencil to paper on what all COC bulls and females have produced, you can almost double that figure. Our genetics are potent, and our focus is on producing the kind that are in big demand and ahead of their time—and most importantly, the kind that provide big profits for our customers.

We sorted and made notes on every female in this offering on the coldest two days of the year, so you’ll have to make the trip or study the videos in order to wrap your head around how deep the quality runs throughout this offering. They’re lotted together by cow families and COC herd sire groups, with a large majority of the offering being straight Cream of the Crop bred. Our pedigrees are loaded for generations, and they can go anywhere and fit in with the best, taking your operation to whole new heights.

This is a unique event like none other. It is often imitated, but never duplicated. If you’re serious about this business, we hope you will join us June 9th and let us help you Raise Your Own Champions!

Thank You,

Black Hereford Ranch’s 17th Annual Cream of the Crop Sale…Saturday, June 9, 2018…Crawford, Oklahoma

BLACK HEREFORD R ANCH

h c n Ra ry o t s i H When Kris was in the first grade, his grandfather Frank “Shorty” Gilliland gave him a purebred Polled Hereford heifer. Kris kept the females as replacements, and by the time he graduated, he had a small group of cows that were the original foundation of what is now Black Hereford Ranch.

Shorty’s family homesteaded the acreage that was previously the Gilliland Hereford Ranch for G.L. and Shorty Gilliland. One of the original homes still remains in use today as a ranch house. Neighbors tell stories of helping Shorty load his tack and cattle onto train cars, riding with the cattle, traveling to shows as far off as the World Beef Expo in Kentucky. They put on a number of Polled Hereford production sales over the years. Unfortunately due to health reasons, Shorty had to disperse most of his cow herd. The year Kris graduated, Shorty had a stroke that left him handicapped. Kris put a halt to college plans and moved to Crawford to work for Shorty until his passing a few years later.

Kris began outcrossing Herefords and keeping heifers to build his cow herd. Two years later, he had a Houston Champion Hereford followed by a Tulsa Reserve Grand Overall Steer with a Hereford. He continued to add color to his crop, and in 1993 he had a black baldy that was Reserve at Houston, raised by our late friend Frank Johnson. In 1994, Frank bought a black baldy Chi x Maine cow and called Kris to ask what to breed her to…a year later Habanero was born. He was our first to break the $20,000 barrier, and 23 years later he is still making a direct impact. Kris knows the ups and downs to starting out in this business and has thoroughly enjoyed helping people from all different backgrounds lay their foundation to a successful career in an industry that has been his main focus for four decades.

SALE

SALE TERMS & CONDITIONS

RETAINED INTEREST IN BULLS

Terms of the sale are cash, check or wire transfer payable to Black Hereford Ranch at the conclusion of the auction.

Animals are not to leave until paid for in full.

Ownership Unless otherwise stated in the catalog, we are selling full possession, full salvage value and 2/3 revenue sharing semen interest. This means the bull is totally in your control and how you want to handle him, as well as 100% of the salvage value of the bull. We are retaining 1/3 revenue-sharing semen interest. This simply gives us the right to 1/3 of the semen sales revenue from the bull, if at some time in the future semen sales become a possibility.

If you sell the bull to anyone else, Black Hereford Ranch retains our semen interest and revenue sales. If a buyer is not interested in marketing the semen from a bull, then Black Hereford Ranch reserves the right to collect a semen bank on the bull at our cost and the buyer’s convenience within a timely manner. That semen would be 100% owned

by Black Hereford Ranch for our use or marketing.

Printed information on the sale day supplement takes precedence over printed information in this catalog and other advertising. Announcements from the auction block will take precedence over all printed material for this sale.

All animals will be sold by lot number from the auction block. Every effort has been made to assure accuracy and information that is quoted concerning the animals is taken from their respective breeder’s records.

RETAINED INTEREST IN FEMALES Black Hereford Ranch RETAINS THE RIGHTS TO PARTNER ON TWO SUCCESSFUL FLUSHES ON ALL COC FEMALES. A successful flush is defined as producing at least eight eggs per partner. If you sell the female to anyone else, Black Hereford Ranch still retains our right to partner on two successful flushes. If a buyer is not interested in flushing the female, then Black Hereford Ranch reserves the right to two successful flushes on the female at our cost and the buyer’s convenience within a timely manner.

FEMALE BREEDING GUARANTEE Safe in calf females have been examined by our veterinarians. All females declared safe in calf have a projected calving date or date range in this catalog or on the sale day supplement. All projected due dates are best estimates only and not guaranteed. Please remember that it is normal to give birth throughout the two weeks either side of their projected due date. If a pregnant female proves to be open by a licensed veterinarian within 45 days of this sale and is returned to the seller within 60 days, the buyer may choose between a full credit refund or may choose to keep the female with a $600 adjustment.

PROTECTING YOUR INVESTMENT We did our best to use the best low birth weight sires available on these heifers. We don’t have many calving problems, but we check them every 3 to 4 hours around the clock close to due dates. After they leave our operation, we have no control, and they’re livelihood is now your ownership. We highly recommend you take out insurance on your purchases. This is a safe way to protect your investment on both females and bulls.

Realistically Speaking It is unlikely that large amounts of semen will be sold from very many bulls. However, the reason we are keeping an interest in every bull is that we want to keep it simple and we have great bulls throughout the offering. The bulls that do develop a market for larger amounts of semen can be very financially rewarding; therefore, as a breeder of some of the best seed stock in the industry, we want to share with you in these bulls. Even bulls that aren’t originally promoted can become popular at a later time, especially after calf crops prove successful.

We want to be a great partner with you!

Semen Rights Buyers receive semen rights proportionally to the interest that you purchased. 1/3 semen interest is retained on all bulls unless otherwise stated in the catalog or supplement sheet or announced from the block the day of the sale. Therefore, if you purchase 2/3 revenue sharing semen interest, you are entitled to 2/3 of the collection semen cost provided that you indicate that you want semen prior to collection. Future semen collections must be made known to all owners prior to collecting. The collections and cost will be divided according to each owner’s interest, unless otherwise agreed upon mutually by all owners prior to collection of said semen.

BULL BREEDING GUARANTEE All bulls in this offering have been fertility & trich tested by our veterinarian and are guaranteed to be breeders, with the exception of a) injury or disease occurring after the time of sale, or b) gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the purchaser. Any bull that settles cows by natural service is considered a breeder.

This has been our livelihood for 40 years. They’ve yet to strike an oil or gas well that will pay more than their postage to us, we have yet to have a rich uncle show up, and the only wind turbine on the place is a 50s model windmill that no longer pumps water. We have no other sideline businesses. Our genetics have helped put many club calf breeders on the map. If you’re just getting started raising champions, we’ve been there and we want to help you get started on the right foot. If you have a veteran herd that needs a boost, we can help you get your operation to a higher level of production. We strive on generating the type of cattle that work hard and make our customers proud profits.

We don’t keep the best and sell the rest. We offer you our all, and not many can truthfully say this! Each year there are 100 head of females that do not bring more than market price. Many customers can testify that there are good cattle at bargain prices throughout the entirety of this sale. Many pay for themselves within their first calf crop, and several have turned into money-earning donors or promotable herd sires. The following success stories merely scratch the surface of what these genetics are capable of.

If you haven’t been to one of our sales, please make plans to join us June 9th. It is an event everyone needs to experience and definitely worth checking off your bucket list. You won’t be disappointed!

Customer Succe!

We’re all about

5M RANCH Raul Martinez purchased half interest in a bonafide

HALE CATTLE CO. Bradley and Jett Hale have been consistently

good $39,000 Yellow Jacket daughter that you will hear us refer to as “African Queen.” In her very first flush, she produced eight steers that averaged $20,000. She has steadily been a successful producer of high selling good ones. At age nine she produced the $52,500 “African King.” She has done us a heckuva job and has produced more than we’ve been able to keep track of!

raising Herefords that are hard to beat. If you study their pedigrees, a lot of them are rich in Black Hereford Ranch blood, including Made Right, Carpe Diem, Shot Gun, Cannon, Wasp, Outer Limits, Sniper, Dakota and Bazooka. In the past two years, he has added two more of our names to his list. He purchased Easy Jett in 2014 and was fired up enough about his calves that he came back and bought his maternal brother, Highway 33, in our bull sale last fall. The top pick of his calves this spring were Easy Jetts. We are excited about having a partner who confidently used Easy Jett on some of the best Hereford cows in the country!

BIRD CATTLE CO. Brandon Bird has assembled a group of the very best females and bulls from all over the country. Brandon has a good eye and has invested in some of the best our program has had to offer over the years. A clone to the dam of his outrageously cool lookin COC “Peaches” Donor, whose over the top proven donor dam resides in this offering. He purchased COC Exacto, whose top nine calves averaged over $13,000. He wisely added COC Free Bird, the stoutest full brother to Troubadour to date, to his lineup. His steer progeny have brought up to $15,000, a $17,500 heifer this spring and then his COC sons now being promoted as the $28,000 Strait Bankin and the $12,000 Red Bird, racks up his progeny earnings on a limited calf crop. His daughters selling June 9th are all that and then some as well!

BIRKHEAD CATTLE CO. James Birkhead has been coming to our COC Female Sale since the first year we started having it. He has bought some of our best we have had to offer each year and has marketed their offspring through our COC sales with tremendous success. He has done his homework and put together a premier herd that we look forward to their crop every year.

BUTCHEE FAMILY The John D. and Dillon Butchee family have been COC customers for years and are proof that you don’t have buy the top sellers to “Raise Your Own Champions.” They come early and stay late, doing their homework on the back pens. They purchased one of the youngest, most immature females in the sale that was the first calf out of a high seller a couple years ago for $1,500. They laughed all the way to the bank when that green, well bred female produced a $10,000 steer this spring. “You always say to do your homework, so that’s what we do!” –John D.

CLARK AND SHACKELFORD Ernest Clark and Wade Shackelford purchased a $3,500 Tiger daughter as a bred heifer. She has since generated well over $200,000 in sales and has produced all of their their champions and high sellers…a testament that not all super producers are up in the front pens. These guys did their homework, and it has consistently paid off.

DAVIS CATTLE CO. Champ Davis bought some of the best of what we had to offer from the time we started. We are thankful for the time and friendship we had with this great cattleman. His son, Neal Ray, and daughter, Nacy, have continued to do what Davis Cattle Co. is good at — raising the good ones. Many of the Cream of the Crop females that Champ and Neal Ray have purchased remain in their donor pen. Yello Repo, Easy Street, Freeze Frame, a stout full brother to Carpe Diem and some of the best roam their pastures. Neal Ray’s and Nacy’s offering in this sale are deep in quality and rich with our genetics. They’ve done a great job carrying on what Champ started!

DAY SHOW CATTLE Ricky and Rusty Day have sold as many winners and high selling Hereford steers as any. They have been volume buyers of Made Right semen, and many of their highlights have been sired by him. They purchased a COC 30-06 ET open heifer that they call “Donor P254” for $3,500. P254’s first group of calves grossed $50,000. She has produced so many $100,000s worth that they’ve lost track on her earnings. She has produced steers that have brought up to $42,500, has had champions at all of the Texas major steer shows and they’ve retained all of her daughters within their cow herd. They believe in her consistency enough that they have cloned her, and she is repeating P254’s success yet again!

Black Hereford Ranch’s 17th Annual Cream of the Crop Sale…Saturday, June 9, 2018…Crawford, Oklahoma

C R E A M of the C R O P DONORS UNLIMITED The 2018 Donors Unlimited Sale in the Beef Capitol of the World had a great group of females and consignors this year. In the Hereford division of the catalog, 90% or better were COC genetics on one or both sides of their pedigrees as well as in some of the other divisions too. Congratulations on a very successful sale, and thank you for continuing to trust in our genetics.

DWIGHT NIESCHWITZ Has been making the trip from Pleasonton, Texas, to our female and club calf sales for years. It has paid off!

Congratulations to Dwight for raising the 2017 San Antonio Reserve Champion Gert, a Charolais that made the sale in Houston and has more coming for next year. They were from the first calf crop from his “COC In The Zone,” a No Spin Zone son that he purchased from us in 2014.

so far. Their COC George son sired the 2016 State Fair of Texas Reserve Grand Steer. Year after year, they have been keeping the daughters out of their COC Godfather son. “They are good lookin and have been great producers,” Mitch said. One of them raised the 2017 Houston Champion Limi. We often hear parents say that they wouldn’t trade their years of showing with their kids for anything. This father–son duo is carrying on that tradition and now Raising Their Own Champions!

PARKER CATTLE CO. Charlie and Casey Parker have been long

volume buyers for their progressive club calf operation over the years.

However, their most recent success we owe a large congratulations to is for their Made Right semen purchases. To say their 0545 Donor has clicked with COC Made Right would be an understatement. She has produced over $300,000 in Made Right progeny sales, including the 2016 Champion Fort Worth Polled Steer, $76,000 Battle Cry, $10,000 War Paint and the 2016 and 2017 Oklahoma Youth Expo Champion Herefords. Watch for COC Comanche, who sells in the bull offering!

time, repeat customers of some of the very best females and bulls we have had to offer. They purchased their 385 HooDoo Donor in our 2008 COC Female Sale for $5,400. She has since proven her weight in gold, raising the COC 2015 Houston Grand Champion Steer and several outstanding COC sale highlights. They purchased the Lot 33 Made Right son in our 2014 Bull Sale, called “Movin A’Head.” The Parker boys come early, stay late and do a lot of homework at our sales, and their dedication pays off. Their first three sons of Movin A’Head brought $35,000, and another brought $20,000 last fall!

They don’t hold back when they send their cattle to this offering year after year, and their set is the real deal! Thank y’all for choosing us to help market your cattle through our Cream of the Crop sales. It has been a lot of fun being a part of your success.

GREGG KROUPA CLUB CALVES Greg Kroupa has purchased

PHILLIP RENNER has invested in some of our very best over the

GLOVER CATTLE CO. Bruce and Dustin Glover have been repeat

several leading Cream of the Crop females and bulls over the years.

The Cream of the Crop 159 Donor he purchased for $10,000 has now produced over $300,000 in progeny sales. Carpe Diem, Freeze Frame and MOAB are just a few that have been wonderful investments for his program as well. We are excited for the MOAB calves he has this spring.

HORN LIVESTOCK In 1999, Brandon decided to give this club calf business a try. He purchased a $2,000 Festus x Donor #1, a full sister to our Champion Charolais at San Antonio and a maternal sister to Blanco and Benny. She became the first original foundation female of what has now become the Horn Livestock empire. She still has a major impact on their program, as she is the dam of his Donor 750, who produced Jagger’s 2017 Houston Grand Steer and is the dam of his highly promoted “Generator” AI sire. We are looking forward to seeing you get the most success out of the other COC females you have purchased over the past 18 years. Proud for ya, Brandon!

KENNEDY BROTHERS Brian and Dennis Kennedy have had great success with their Cream of the Crop females and herd sires. Their COC females have produced five Reserve Grand Steers, and their two COC herd sires, COC Junior and COC Shamrock, sired two more at the Houston Livestock Show. Their latest was the 2017 Houston Reserve Grand Steer, whose granddam was the first COC HooDoo cow they purchased from us.

MIKE MATTEARUE Congratulations to Mike Mattearue on raising the 2015 Grand Champion Steer at the Nacogdoches County Show, sired by their 2012 COC Lot 26 Carpe Diem son. You will be hearing more from this operation in the years to come.

MIMMS CATTLE CO. Mike Mimms has been collecting some good stuff from our COC sales for several years. He knows what he is doing and has picked out some outstanding producers over the years. COC Red Rooster is now roaming his pastures and doing him a great job.

COC H624, COC 903W and COC 428 (full sib to Yellow Jacket) are just a few of his most notable COC picks. Mike has also been one of our top volume buyers of Made Right semen over the years. There’s not a better, harder workin guy to see succeeding with our genetics!

MITCH AND HAYES HALL Mitch and Hayes have been longtime, valuable COC customers. Hayes showed steers and did his fair share of winning, and since then they have purchased several top bulls and females while building up a very progressive program in Anson, Texas. They have raised several very successful calves out of them

past few years, and no one has raised high sellers as well as he has since. The Troubadour daughter he purchased in 2013 produced the co-high selling 2015 COC bull Trump, who sold for $52,500 to Phil Lautner, Harlan Yocham and Melinda Olsen. This year she produced a full brother to Trump that brought $28,500. Phillip also purchased a Monopoly daughter in 2013 that produced a $15,000 J10 son in 2015 and a $28,000 son in 2016. 4-1/2-year-old donors that have paid for themselves with one calf. We are excited about the future of these two young cows! His young herd sire “Black Hippo’s” heifers in this offering are worth your trip!

ROBERT VALLEJO CATTLE CO. Over the past few years, Robert has arrived early, looked til dark and does lots of homework to pick out some of our very best…like his Lifeline x 524 cow and his Donor 61 HooDoo, the mother of No Apologies and the half interest $29,500 bull prospect. Donor 61 has a stout offering in this group that only adds to her deep résumé. He has an outstanding set of full sibs in this offering. We are very excited for the future of Robert, Lewis and Joan Wood’s half interest $52,500 “African King” bull’s progeny.

His COC full brother to Troubadour, “Brutus,” has an outstanding set of heifers within this offering, and we expect only great things out of him in the future!

TWO BAR X RANCH Jeffery Sanchez has an extremely progressive operation in Rio Grande City filled to the brim with COC genetics. He has been coming up for many years and taking some of the top end back to his Two Bar X Ranch. Several of them have made it to his donor pen, one of which is the 1359 cow, who is the mother of one of the stoutest black bulls on our place ever, Escalade. Jeffery raised the 2018 Reserve Champion Maine at the Rio Grande Valley Show and several sale makers. If you’re in the deep South hunting a top notch show steer prospect, look him up — he will have the caliber you’re looking for.

RYAN SCHROEDER In the 2012 COC Female Sale, Ryan purchased the Lot 41 bred heifer for $2,800. Her first calf was born unassisted, trouble free and was the Reserve Champion Angus Steer in San Antonio. Congratulations—that is how it is supposed to work!

SCHEETZ CATTLE CO. Jason Scheetz of Fort Madison, Iowa, purchased a $26,000 Lead On x 448 Donor as a bred heifer. She is now over the $100,000 mark in progeny sales, producing the Grand Steer at the State Fair of Texas and countless high sellers over the years. Check out 448’s daughter by Broker selling as Lot 296.

The second, a Fire Water x HooDoo Prince Z2056, was the 2015 Charolais Junior National Champion Owned Female. They have done a tremendous job taking our genetics to the backdrop. Watch for their purebred in the bull offering.

SID ROBINSON AND TOMMY BYRD They pack some of our very best back to East Texas with them year after year. Tommy Byrd bought “COC Trail Boss” when he re-sold through our 2013 Cream of the Crop Sale. The first two steers they sold out of him brought $18,000, a bred heifer sold in our fall COC sale for $14,000 out of a COC female and several other top sellers. Sid Robinson purchased one of our best lookin, all-time favorites, “COC Freaknique.” He has since sired several outstanding females selling for up to $12,000.

They have put together a whale of a set of COC females and have set themselves up for great success in the future!

SULLIVAN FARMS John Sullivan purchased a sight-unseen half interest heifer in 2006 for $8,000. Eleven years later, the legendary Donor 410 has blown the doors off of the $300,000 mark in sales.

She is the dam of Troubadour and 14 of his full brothers averaging $18,500. Bred heifers have been top sellers in this sale countless times and are becoming some of the best producers in the industry.

She is 14 years old and still shelling out the great ones. Check out the Troubadour section of the catalog…it speaks mountains about her impact on this program.

SULLIVAN RANCH Dan Sullivan has been a COC customer for a long time. He has successfully sold as many high sellers as anyone in the business. Several of his COC females have made it to his elite donor lineup. His COC Lizzy 2069 has been one of his best investments to date. He purchased her in 2004 for $24,000; she is now over the $300,000 mark in sales and still producing. She has paid for herself over a dozen times—that’s what we like to hear! Watch for our IVF Troubadour and Maverick offspring from COC HooDoo Lizzy.

THE CASTELLAWS Toby and Jim have been longtime COC customers, and one of their latest purchases has proven to be a great investment. They purchased “El Ray,” a full brother to Troubadour that paid for himself within his first calf crop! The first four steers born out of him averaged $5,500, and the three heifers averaged $4,000.

You will be hearing more from “El Ray” in the years to come!

THE COC HOODOOS OF WEST TEXAS Eugene and Scott Fullwood of Roscoe, Texas, have loaded up with females and bulls from our COC sales. They have made a hand at producing the kind of calves in high demand. In 2008, Fullwoods purchased the COC Lot 4 HooDoo for $10,000. She raised a steer that they sold for $12,000 before reselling COC #4 to Tim Bob Smith of Hamlin, Texas.

She raised the 2013 San Antonio Reserve Limi for Smith. Fullwoods also purchased their COC Lot 62 HooDoo from us in 2008 for $7,500, renumbering her 69 in their program. She raised the 2012 San Antonio Champion Limi for Fullwoods before re-selling her to Smith for $25,000. She then raised the 2016 San Antonio Reserve Grand Steer for Smith. Dustin Glover purchased the COC Lot 16 Alias daughter in our 2010 sale for $7,750, renumbering her 0820 in their program. She raised several real nice heifers for Glover before he sold her to Smith. She raised the 2015 second place Middle Weight Chi and 2016 Fort Worth Champion Middle Weight Exotic. Tim Bob Smith has successfully flushed all three COC females with great results, with over 20 calves making the sale at Texas majors. We would like to congratulate Drager Cattle Co. of Haskell, Texas, on a whale of an addition of these three females. They all have several years left of production to raise their best ones yet. Thank you all for taking our genetics to their maximum potential!

THE GRAYS Ricky and Sierra have been some of our best customers and friends over the last 30 years. They have been great partners on some of our very best bulls like Yellow Jacket, Polar Ice, Banshee, Frost Proof and Torque, to name a few. They have put some of our best bulls on some of the best females in the business. This father/daughter operation has raised as many high sellers and winning cattle as anyone over the years through this sale. They’ve put together one of their best ever sets in this offering from Ada, Oklahoma.

KENNY PATIN, DVM Kenny has purchased some of our very best over the years. His COC full sister to Troubadour rang the bell this spring. She has more than paid for after producing the $12,500 highlight in the S & S sale. There’s more where he came from…Doc has a group of ET full sibs to him coming this fall.

SUNDAY’S BEST Dan Kyle, who is well known for his Sunday’s Best Club Calf Sales, has several top COC females that now reside in his ET program and have raised several of his champions and high sellers. Dan was one of the first to purchase semen on our $52,500 COC African King. He mated him to his COC Lot 1 Picante x WG and raised the 2018 Walker County Fair Grand Steer. Thank you for trusting in our genetics, and congratulations!

TRI-S RANCH Mike and Kent Speer have been adding the very best COC females each year to their progressive program. They have had great success with their Cream of the Crop females that they’ve purchased over the last five years. The three Troubadour, Polar Ice and Tank daughters they purchased here in 2012 for $26,250 have now collectively produced $230,700 in progeny sales! Their COC Troubadour daughter produced the 2017 LSU Grand Steer and Houston Reserve Grand Scramble Steer this year. Our goal goes much further than sale day. In 2016, they added one of our all-time favorite heifers, Lot 18, a 9970 daughter that we have high hopes for in their ET program. We do our best to raise and sell the good producing kind of cattle that will better our customers’ operations.

VERNON, TEXAS Between GERALD HASELOFF, LARRY KIESCHNICK and BOBBY MATUS, the three neighbors have put

Vernon, Texas, on the map! Their COC calves have been champions at every major steer show in Texas! Gerald Haseloff has been a great partner with us on some of the best Hereford bulls in the industry for over 20 years. He has kept females out of them and has consistently dominated the Hereford majors, winning them not once but multiple times. Larry Kieschnick has been a long-term COC customer of flat good cattle, purchasing some of our best producing females and bulls of all breeds and colors and raising the kind in high demand for decades. Be on the lookout for our “Battle Ship” Hereford AI sire… one of the best Larry has ever raised, and we can’t wait to put him to work. Bobby Matushas been crossing our COC bulls on some of the best Hereford females in the business. He has been retaining those females for over a decade and raising competitive steers and high sellers in the industry. All three have allowed us to market their calf crops for over 15 years, and it has been a fun ride. They put in the long hours it takes, and we love to see their cattle be successful.

KORKY WISE has put together a premier cow herd, many of which are Cream of the Crop Females or their daughters. He has raised champions at all of the Texas majors, not once but several times.

Many of them were also sired by Cream of the Crop bulls.

BRENT AND BRENNAN WILLIAMS The Decatur, Texas, crew has purchased several nice COC females to add to their club calf operation. They purchased the 2015 COC Lot 250, whose first calf was the 2017 San Angelo Champion Middle Weight Hereford. This is why we invest a great deal of time and money into the best built herd bulls possible without sacrificing calving ease. Good buy!

Easy Je

Sire of Lots 1–7 & 9–19

We get told frequently, “Y’all need to raise another Made Right.” We usually chuckle as we remind them that we need an outcross for all of the Made Right daughters we have collected over the years.

We hear a lot of chattering about the fact that “most folks are only given one life-changing great one in their lifetime,” and in our minds, Made Right was that gift, but there’s a new bull in his rearview coming up fast. God’s handiwork has completely covered Easy Jett’s entire being, and he’s proof there are no limitations to his willpower.

His namesake speaks magnitudes of how high we are on his potential. Walter Merrick produced a racehorse that was far ahead of his time in 1967 who, like our Easy Jett, is also a Crawford, Okla., native. Merrick sent him out of 26 starting gates as a two-year-old and came out of 22 victorious within his first career year, including the All-American. The next year he was the Champion Racing Stallion of the Year and was sold for $3.5 million and then syndicated for $300 million in the early 80s. He put Crawford, Okla., on the map.

COC Easy Jett was born unassisted to a dang nice first-calf heifer in 2014, whose second crop produced our high selling Highway 33, third crop produced a real nice heifer in this offering and her fourth heifer without a doubt has the ability to top this sale next year.

Donor 1685 has been a no miss profit maker that undeniably passes that trait on heavily.

Half-interest in him sold in our 2015 Bull Sale to Bradley and Jett Hale of Miami, Texas. Jett Hale isn’t your average 10-year-old.

His work ethic at this sale is second to none for his age. Find him sale day horseback and congratulate him on his big Houston win!

Bradley and Kris both AI’d, flushed and cleaned up cows with Easy Jett that fall and spring with confidence. Easy Jett’s first calf crop of steers laid the foundation of everything we expected and then some. Every single Easy Jett steer we sold last spring, except for one, branded at a Texas major this spring. Bradley’s first choice picks from his past two calf crops have been Easy Jetts. He thought enough of them to only let two sell through his offering at Donors Unlimited this spring.

We normally try to picture 8 to 10 Hereford heifers for this sale, but this year we pictured 14 of the 18 Easy Jett females and were so proud of them that we ran them all up to the front of this catalog. Our Hereford heifers ran on milo stalks and protein tubs until April 1, with a large sum of them still a hair green at picture time, or else all of the Easy Jett daughters could have very easily been pictured.

“Ya, I’m over here at the Carpenter place. I think Easy Jett’s broken his leg.”

Unfortunately, in the spring of 2017, Easy Jett sustained an injury that most vets chalked up as a complete loss, but Dr. Gary Warner and his team of specialists at Elgin, Texas, took it head on. We are very fortunate to have him back in our lineup, but due to recovery, Easy Jett has not produced any more semen as of May 16, 2018. We have decided that no semen will be released to the public for the remainder of 2018. 200 units will be the only available on the market, through this sale on June 9th, live across the block. If all goes as planned, Easy Jett will be on display sale day for your thorough appraisal. He has matured into one stout, massive bodied phenomenon. Never have we ever had a sire group this deep this quick, not even when the winningest Hereford show steer sire of all time, Made Right, who has been in the record books for 16 years, was in his prime production

We have sold several Hereford heifers over the years that have made a major impact on the industry. For instance, Day’s COC Donor P254 and Clark and Shackelford’s COC Tiger daughter. They have produced champions at all of the Texas majors and more high sellers than they've been able to keep track of. A good, profit making, foundation female can put your place on the map and set you up for years to come.

We believe that this year’s Lot 1 Easy Jett daughter has all the mechanics to take you places you’ve only dreamt of. She has the looks, the horsepower and the proven genetics backing her to produce an entire front pasture worth of females, steers that will take you to the backdrop and bulls worthy of promoting.

Made Right was born 15 years ago and is still dominating Hereford steer shows all over the country. No other sire comes

close to his track record of producing champions and high sellers. His sire, dam and granddam were all raised here. In 2016 alone, Made Right sired six of the ten major show champions in Texas. The female mates to these champions are making phenomenal producers. Made Right is deceased, and the tanks are running very low. Check out his daughters selling.

Real good marked, sound, very attractive fronted, square, super complete and a real nice Made Right granddaughter.

Super sweet front end, marked right, sound movin and will make a cow you’ll be proud to own.

Donor 9929 was a worker within our program for many years. As with most mothers of good progeny, she has become referred to as “Made Right’s dam,” but she deserves much more recognition than just that.

She has produced females that have topped these sales and that have gone on to be foundation females in multiple Hereford operations, including many of our own. She has produced donors for us like 1600, 1701 and the COC Donor 27 that brought $10,000 as a 10-year-old.

She is also the dam of 1039, who sired the 2014 Houston Reserve Champion Hereford Steer, Above & Beyond and ReMade.

Battle Cry is the $140,000-valued Made Right son that is a full sib to literally hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of other progeny.

Glover has been a volume Made Right semen buyer over the years for a reason. His dam has produced nearly $800,000 in sales, and most all were full sibs to our Lot 376 in this offering, Comanche. Battle Cry sired the COC 2018 Fort Worth Champion Polled Hereford Steer, 2018 San Antonio Champion Hereford Steer and 2018 Oklahoma Youth Expo Reserve Champion Hereford Steer.

For 10 consecutive years we made the trip to Cody, Wyoming, where George Brown allowed us the opportunity to have first pick of nearly 20,000 weaned heifer calves on the HooDoo Ranch. We got to hand pick out of 2,000 heifer calves a year, but there was never one quite like HooDoo Phylli. She was the stoutest of the 1,500 we bought and brought back to Crawford. She is the dam of Yellow Jacket, Polar Ice, J10 and many other outstanding progeny.

The HooDoos ultimately influenced the turning point in the show steer industry—from a black-hided world to the big surge of yellows, smokes and whites. Cream of the Crop HooDoo females have produced: 2004 Houston Grand Steer, 2006 San Antonio Grand Steer, 2007 San Antonio Grand Steer, 2009 Houston Grand Steer, 2011 Houston Reserve Grand Steer, 2015 Houston Grand Steer, 2016 Houston Reserve Grand Steer and 2016 San Antonio Reserve Grand Steer plus countless breed champions at the toughest shows in the country.

2015 Houston Grand Steer—out of a COC PB HooDoo cow that we sold to our good COC customers at Parker Cattle Co.

2016 Houston Reserve Grand Steer – out of a daughter of a COC HooDoo purchased by Brian and Dennis Kennedy…the third Reserve Grand they’ve produced with our COC genetics. You won’t find HooDoo genetics offered in volume anywhere else like in our sales.

Both of these outstanding heifer champions were out of our HooDoo donors. Congratulations to the Shaffer Family on the 2013—14 Charolais Show Heifer of the Year and the Grand Champion Heifer at the 2015 Charolais Junior National.

This female is the product of a mixed flush of a remarkable mating both directions.

She is sired by either COC Cruz, our double clean sensation that sired some of our best on a very minimal calf crop due to injury, or COC Troubadour, who needs no introduction. A sister to this heifer by Troubadour was the cover girl of our 2014 Female Sale. Donor 4043 has been a big time producer over the past 14 years…females like her are becoming near extinct. This is a golden opportunity to raise up a cow herd around maternal genetics that have raised up some of the best producers in the business.

She is what all Sub Zero females are—real good! Her dam was Reserve Bred-and-Owned at the Maine Junior National for Sierra Gray, but she wasn’t all looks and no action. The COC Habanero granddaughter has made a tremendous producing mature cow since.

Anytime there’s COC Habanero in a pedigree, you better take a second look, because they’re usually some of the best anywhere you go. Habanero would be 23 years old; there aren’t many out there with his kind of longevity that can still sire high sellers. Just ask Don Coover, DVM…his high selling open heifer in his May 2018 sale was a good, stout Habanero daughter, and he’s rounding up some more semen to use him again! Habanero could very well be the answer if you’re tired of taking a hicky on those mini club calf cows that won’t grow or perform.

Sub Zero was the COC $17,000 straight PB HooDoo-bred sire to Gray and Parker that has been a phenomenal female producer.

His progeny have rung the bell in our bull and heifer sale offerings in the past for a reason. He is nine years old and is still in production. We are mass producing a group of ancient PB HooDoo cows and used yours truly on the first rounds of all their flushes for a reason. He throws them how we like ‘em!

Troubadour

Troubadour has proven time and time again to make tremendous sons and daughters—the kind we’re all striving to

produce. He is deceased and very little semen still exists on him. As you will see in the surrounding pages, his daughters are some of the very best champion producers you’ll find anywhere. He consistently stamps them with unmistakable class and style. His sons have proven to take the heat as champion caliber show steers and bulls that produce the kind that make people want to get in this business, like Lots 1 and 2 last fall. Dr. Dave Duello purchased Lot 1, Hoss, our high seller through this sale last fall. We AI’d, flushed and cleaned up to Hoss last fall and are loving the calves we now have on the ground. Hoss was a favorite of Duello’s customers while he had him turned out this summer, and we are excited to share his first calf crop with you this coming spring. We also flushed and AI’d to last fall’s Lot 2, Renegade, and his calves are exciting. We can’t wait to breed back to these two powerhouses and AI to many of their paternal brothers in this offering. Troubadour’s outstanding dam has produced over $300,000 in progeny sales. Troubadour stamps them with an unmistakable style. It is hard to match his daughters’ production abilities. Troubadour daughters are a driving force and have made irreplaceable producers, making them some of the most sought after in the country.

Hoss—Troubadour son sold as Lot 1 in the 2016 Bull Sale to Dave Duello.

Renegade—Troubadour son and full brother to our 2017 Lot 1 “Sue,” sold as Lot 2 in our 2016 bull sale to Lehne Farms.

She has been nothing short of phenomenal.

She is a no miss that is over the $100,000 mark in production early on in her career. She is the dam of the $52,500 “Trump,” whom Dietz– Olson, Phil Lautner and Harlan Yocham added to their star-studded lineup; we are honored by their repeat confidence in our program. She also produced an outstanding $29,500 steer and several more full sibs bringing up to $8,000. She has that killer good look that you spot from a hundred yards away —the same she did as a bred heifer when Phillip Renner picked her out through our COC sale.

l 174 Every good herd sire starts with a great mother. Donor 9970 is the dam on the way back side of so many of these pedigrees and doesn’t get near the attention she deserves. We have stated not once but many times that blues may not win the popular vote, but quality trumps color any day! We can’t tell that her color has affected her ability to produce great ones. She still remains in our donor pen at age 19! Her daughters have been some of the most elite producers in our program, including Donor 410, the over $300,000 producing dam of Troubadour.

At 17 years of age, 9970 produced the Lot 18 high seller at $21,000 that is now in Tri-S Ranch’s elite donor lineup. We couldn’t have done it without her, and she’s not done yet! Watch for a powerful own son and full brother to the $21,000 heifer to sell next year.

Extremely attractive, square hipped, sound movin, loaded with muscle and punch. She is a beautiful hided, great hipped, real nice heifer.

Females like her don’t come around very often. Here is your chance at a link of the chain. Full sister sells as Lot 175.

Donor 9630 and Donor 008 are still two of the most amazing cows I’ve ever laid my eyes on! I bought 008 as a 10-year-old cow in around 1990. She was little headed and choke necked—a complete prima donna. That is how this entire cow family has been…30 years ahead of their time and phenomenal!

Really good made, good bodied, moderate sized, deep and wide dang nice heifer. She was still a hair green at picture time but should be a no miss by sale day.

Side Ne

Here is the steer producing machine you’ve all been hunting for. She is moderate sized, quality haired and muscled, freak necked, big square hipped and good ribbed with tremendous foot, bone and leg set. If you’re serious about this industry, here’s your ticket. She is a full sister to the high seller at Vickland’s this spring.

We write the sire’s abbreviation in the top of their ear tags when they’re born. Every year we have several early lookers who ask, “What’s that ‘C.Up’ bull?,” and there will usually be several “C.Ups” written at the top of their list. Our answer is usually followed by their surprised chuckle when we explain that “C.Up” stands for “clean up.” The bulls that we promote and sell semen on don’t live at the bull stud—they go to work and have an outside job too!

If you’re serious about raising champion caliber show steers, then you better come take a look at HIGH NOON. The best herd bull prospect that Bradley Hale has produced in some time! He was the stoutest from a great litter of ETs that have excelled, including the 2018 Fort Worth and 2018 OKC Champion Hereford steers, and now it’s HIGH NOON’s turn. He is packed full of rock solid genetics. He is massive in his bone, hip shape, muscle, top and gets around plenty good with his killer champion show ring appeal. His COC sire, H12, has done Bradley a good job of siring many champions since he went through our sale ring in our 2012 Fall Bull Sale as a high seller. H12 is sired by Carpe Diem, who has sired as many champions, high sellers and promoted sires as any and is still being used 14 years later. His COC maternal granddam is none other than the infamous Tiger x HiHo Donor that raised all of Ernest Clark’s and Wade Shackelford’s high sellers over the years. We think HIGH NOON has a big time future.

Don’t get left behind here!

SELLING: 2/3 interest and full possession

Since day one, COMANCHE has had a chubby build with plenty of body, rib shape, foot and bone in a medium size package. Ideal for the times in terms of his length of side and balance while still presenting a stunning herd bull look, he is marked perfect and moves great, and his versatility will be unmatched in today’s market. He is a maternal brother to the dam of the 2018 Houston Grand Champion Steer and a full brother to War Paint plus the $140,000-valued Battle Cry and the 2016 Fort Worth Champion Polled Hereford Steer. He is also a full brother to the sire of the COC 2018 Fort Worth Champion Polled Hereford Steer, 2018 San Antonio Champion Hereford Steer and 2018 OKC Reserve Champion Hereford Steer. His dam has produced almost $800,000 in sales, most of which were full sibs to this sale feature. His sire, Made Right, has the best track record in the Hereford show steer market and has made a lot of money for most everyone who has used him. His legendary dam is deceased, and there won’t be many more like him. This mating has been profitable for everyone involved. Jason Jenson raised Battle Cry, War Paint and now COMANCHE, and they are all out of Dustin Glover’s once-in-a-lifetime Donor 0454.

He’s the kind that will throw champion show steers but still produce the type of female that you can build a cow herd around. We were crushed when we lost his young sire due to injury, but you can see by his first calf crop the kind he was and what we saw in him. We firmly believe this one is a hop, skip and a jump away from a big reputation.

We can’t brag on Donor 1139 enough! She has been nothing short of of phenomenal. She is a no miss that is over the $100,000 mark in production. In addition to Trump, she produced an outstanding $29,500 steer and several more full sibs. She has that killer good look you spot from a hundred yards away, the same she did as a bred heifer when Phillip Renner picked her out through our COC sale. We have loads of faith that 1139 will keep shelling out the good ones, and she passes that ability on to these sons. Full sisters sell as Lots 163 and 164.

We are reminded everyday how much we miss the sire to a lot of this year’s offering, Cruz. He proves how important it is to have a good, stout cleanup bull, especially when many of their offspring are better than your AI calves. A large majority of the AI sires out there nowadays are hairballs that take a fancy picture. Take this big bellied, good hipped, sound, big boned white bull home and set the Cruz Control so you can go hunting during AI season!

In his first calf crop, Cruz sired a $40,000-valued bull prospect. He was one stout dude. He was double clean with TH hair and is one of the most consistent bulls we have ever used. Tony Myers bred one cow to him and sold that steer, who went on to bring $12,500. Not many had the chance to see Cruz, but they’ll be seeing his progeny long after the tanks run dry.

He is very good looking, long clean necked, big slicking backed and hipped and gets around good. His sire is a full brother to the 2016 Houston Grand Champion Steer and to the $40,000 half interest Moxie, both of which are sired by our legendary COC Yellow Jacket that is still in the record books year after year. There aren’t many sires still out there getting it done that are in big demand 15 years later. We have blended 174 with our 19-year-old Donor 9970, which is one of our most important cows ever, best known as COC Troubadour’s granddam. She is still in our ET program and is also getting big things done for us. She produced our high selling bred in 2016 to Tri-S Ranch. A full brother to her is on the ground and is flat impressive.

This bull is a late bloomer loaded with genetic potential. Do your homework here. These are near extinct genetic opportunities!

Anytime you see Habanero in a pedigree, you better take a second look—they’re some of the best producers in the business! Some 23 years later he is still siring high sellers, including Dr. Don Coover’s high seller in his open heifer sale this spring. Habanero has stood the test of time!

When Texas Twister gets the right pitch, he knocks it out of the park!

When we mated COC Donor 971 to him, we knew it had to work.

COC 971 is still one of the stoutest bred heifers that has gone through a COC sale. She ended up in the progressive Valley herd of Jeffery Sanchez — a longtime customer who has purchased some of our best for years. COC 971’s dam is a $100,000 producing Who Made Who daughter that gets it done. A COC full brother to 971 produced a San Antonio Grand Steer.

727 gcoc | Smoke/White | 3.27.16 | Scurred | ET S: J10 (HooDoo George x HooDoo Phylli Donor) D: Donor 425 (Hide and Watch x 525–Reflector x Dinero) This loud colored smoke baldy pinto is eye catching and neat long clean necked but still has plenty of power with good muscle, hip and top. He is as complete and sound moving as they get. He is level hipped with good width and rib shape. He blends the power from COC J10, which was the stouter, more moderate full brother to Polar Ice. J10 and Polar Ice are maternal brothers to Yellow Jacket, out of the best HooDoo we’ve ever witnessed. HooDoo Phylli is the only one we’ve found worthy of cloning so far. Kenny and Sheldon Rounds purchased this bull’s granddam through a COC sale, and the rest has been history. She was a tremendous producer and passed that on to Donor 425, who has been a big time producing female within their program. A full sister sells as Lot 123.

COC Bold N Gold Sire of Lot 405

19 pbs | White | 4.16.16 | Scurred | IVF S: Bold N Gold (Walks Alone x HooDoo Prince) D: African Queen Donor 614 (Yellow Jacket x Donor 9630 by Full Throttle) SELLING: 2/3 interest and full possession

Sired by one of our new cats on the block, the versatile made Bold N Gold. This African Queen son is white pink nosed, sound movin, big footed and cool fronted. He’s real attractive, super complete and will make a killer looking mature bull. With a shot of COC HooDoo genetics on the top side and more importantly a big shot of cow power from one of our all-time best cow families on the bottom, this herd sire prospect should make a big impact for years to come. His dam, African Queen, remains our highest selling bred heifer to date.

She has produced more good ones than we have been able to keep track of, including eight steers from her first flush alone that averaged $20,000. She is the dam of the $52,500 COC African King and countless other high sellers. She has done one heckuva job for us, and this son carries her potential!

COC Yellow Jacket Sire of Lot 406

48 pcoc | Smoke | 9.1.16 | Polled S: Yellow Jacket (Lifeline x HooDoo Phylli Donor) D: Black Impact x Angus SELLING: 2/3 interest and full possession

Yellow Jacket legged, sound movin, good hipped and real good lookin. He is a notch bigger and should work wonders on moderate clubby females. Fifteen years later, Yellow Jacket is still producing the right kind, siring the 2015 Houston Grand Steer and high sellers from coast to coast. His daughters are some of the most sought-after females in the business for a reason! Yellow Jacket was a third generation Cream of the Crop sire, sired by Lifeline, who was a Habanero. All three generations have stood the test of time! Anytime there’s COC Habanero in a pedigree, you better take a second look, because they’re usually some of the best anywhere you go.

Habanero would be 23 years old now, and there aren’t many out there with his kind of longevity that can still sire high sellers. Just ask Don Coover, DVM…his high selling open heifer in his May 2018 sale was a good, stout Habanero daughter, and he’s rounding up some more semen to use him again.

330 pcoc | Smoke | 8.16 | Polled S: Smoke and Mirrors by Monopoly D: Yellow Jacket x Heat Seeker

SELLING: 2/3 interest and full possession

He is great big butted, wide square hipped, with plenty of body, bone and is neat looking through his front end. His stout, good looking Yellow Jacket-sired dam is one the best at the Fullwood outfit and is a standout in their heavy duty pen of donors. Maternal brother sells as Lot 408.

331 pcoc | Smoke | 8.16 | Polled S: Unstoppable by Monopoly D: Yellow Jacket x Heat Seeker

SELLING: 2/3 interest and full possession

Maternal brother to Lot 407, out of the same extra impressive Yellow Jacket donor. He is a paternal brother to the 2018 Houston Grand Champion Steer. They go back to the ever-so-powerful, important COC Habanero, and that’s a huge plus in our opinion. Habanero has been making an impact for going on 23 years.

Black Hereford Ranch retains one-third semen interest and one-third revenue sharing on all bulls and the right to collect DNA for cloning purposes on all cattle sold through Cream of the Crop sales.

He is sired by the good cow making PB Simi One Eyed Jack and out of a good, solid producing Monopoly cow. So we sure think he will be a good dual-purpose show steer and cow herd builder.

He was born 70 lbs. unassisted to a tremendous deep bodied, perfect uddered COC firstcalf heifer. This eye-catching 3/4 Angus, 1/4 Simi low birth weight herd bull prospect will take your program in the right direction rapidly.

He has a politically correct pedigree that will prove to be a quality producer of either sex. Gregg Stewart has thanked us for selling him COC Black’s Direction. He sired Titan’s dam’s sire, and she has produced several $100,000 worth of Jones/Stewart high selling Angus bulls. “He’s going to make us a million,” Gregg said. This bull is packing the pounds and the genetics to produce the maternal kind in high demand!

Check out this black 59-lb. birth weight I-80 son.

He is amazing necked, slick shearing topped, good muscled and looks good with or without the big pile of hair we sheared off of him. He’s the kind we are all looking for to put the black hide back in our herds without sacrificing what it takes nowadays to produce the more in demand show calf prospects. He was born unassisted from a good, high class Texas Twister first-calf heifer.

There have been lots of good Monopoly sons produced, but this one is extra good. He is really good necked, as sound as you can make one, big wide deep bodied with plenty of muscle.

He’s the right size and had shaggy hair. His maternal sister was a gorgeous Champion Chi at Louisville a few years ago for the Core family.

Tommy Byrd has raised high placing steers sired by his impressive COC Trailboss herd sire and out of his PB Brahman cows. This high quality half-blood bull was born late so he left him a bull, and we think he can sire tremendous American show calves. He is big backed, square hipped, sound and good lookin. He packs plenty of power, breed character and color to Make Americans Great Again!

AI & PASTURE SERVICE SIRES REPRESENTED

for reference only Brown JYJ Redemption Y1334 (Reg. Red Angus 1441805)

The most widely used Red Angus bull in America. His birth weight to yearling weight spread is at the pinnacle of the breed. 62 lb. birth weight, +17 CED, 2,000 lbs. and frame 4.5.

Churchill Sensation 028X

(Reg. Hereford 43092364) Lowest birth weight Hereford bull in the country! There’s a reason we have AI’d nearly every Hereford heifer we have to him over the past four years. They come easy and are built right to produce great replacement heifers!

(Hef x Donor 512 by Alias Son) COC Easy Street highlighted our fall 2012 sale to Davis Cattle Co. We confidently bred a big majority of the heifers in this offering to him due to his track record. Easy Street has been the most consistent calving-ease bull we have ever used, of any color. His progeny are easily marketable with eye appeal without sacrificing calving ease. We have sold calves in the $3,000 to $10,000 range that were all born unassisted out of first-calf heifers.

EF Commando 1366

(Reg. Angus 17082311) A no-miss calving ease bull that sires moderate-framed, consistent cattle that are expressive in their muscle shape and phenomenal in their look.

Look for Commando to add CED, carcass and mating flexibility to your herd. Three of his first sons averaged over $100,000 for Jud Baldridge.

KBC Safe

COC Registered Angus & Red Angus bulls

(Sensation x Made Right) We added Comin Right to our herd sire lineup with great first results last fall. We hunt hard to find LBW bulls that you can be proud of the quality of calves they throw.

We think Comin Right is the best of both worlds.

AI & HERD REFERENCE SIRES

COC Easy Street

(Fuzzy x 0269 by ReMade) KBC Safe has been a consistent calving ease AI and herd sire for us for several years. He marks them right, and his daughters are flat impressive. His daughters are tremendous females, and several sons have made nice show steers that make you proud of your profit the first crack of the bat.

(Reg. Red Angus 3478599) After sorting through 400 Red Angus bulls at R.A. Brown’s 2016 Fall Bull Sale, this Takeover 9943W son was the one Kris couldn’t leave without. His numbers are great, and we love how he moves and is built. Five of his performance EPDs rank in the top 2% of the entire breed and five more in the top 15%, including CED and BW. His third dam, Abigrace L7730, has produced over $2,000,000 in sales.

Every year there are more calves sired by our heifer clean up bulls, and every year we have many success stories sent to us from extremely pleased customers. Our LBW registered Angus and Red Angus heifer clean up bulls are not just your run of the mill LBW Angus bulls. We research high and low for good lookin, high CED/low BW EPD bulls, and they’re far from easy to come by. The ones we select have been large investment pieces, but they pay off immensely with their results. There will be several show steers sold out of this set of bred heifers, and the heifer calves will make good quality replacements that you will be proud to keep.

These females will be located here on the ranch for your viewing convenience, along with printed information on each of them. They will be priced from $1,600 to $2,500. They will make you money, whether you keep them for 60 days to resell, or if you calve them out and reap the rewards of good COC females in your herd.
