Sunday, November 6, 2011

For the second consecutive year, a daughter of Boss Beauty 84M is our Lot 1. Genetically, it is impossible to deny her of this spot. Last year alone, sibs claimed top honors in Denver, Louisville, Kansas City, and Fort Worth, as well as the CO, IN, IL, and OH state fairs. Not to mention two of the most talked about bulls in Denver in X and X2. If genetics alone don’t sell you on this female, take just one look at her, and you will be sold. She is awesome at the ground, perfect in her rib shape, has the ideal amount of power, and just has the look to carry on the family legacy.

WCC Kashmir Dam of Lots 3, 4, & 5 These three sisters are a result of one of our most successful flushes of the year.

Sibs have already sold this fall in Geffert and Lautners’ sales. I know it is hard to sell 3 full sibs in one sale, because one always seems to be the best and the others get overlooked. However, these three sisters are as high a quality MaineTainers as we have ever offered. Early visitors have a hard time deciding which one they like best. I personally change my mind daily, so we will offer all three.

Find which one fits your liking and buckle up. These are the type of MaineTainer females winning today, and all three sisters will have their day.

BBR Welcome 990W Full sib to Lots 6, 7, & 8

In Back to Basics IV, I described BBR Welcome 990W as having as much earning potential as any in the offering. That female went on to have a successful show career, and after selling her first natural calf this fall, she is headed to the donor pen at Vicklands’. These 3 full sisters have that same potential. Look at the overall rib shape and volume in these females. They are naturally really powerful, yet maternal in their overall look. Not only will these heifers show well, you better clear a spot in the donor pen.

We purchased these embryos in the Kansas City sale two years ago, and we were so intrigued by this female, we purchased the right to flush 943R in Tim Weber’s sale last fall, and we are sure glad we did. Lot 9 is so impressive for a high-percentage Maine. She is beautiful in her head, neck, and shoulder design and has plenty of rib shape and power to run with the best. Lot 10 is very similar to her sister, in terms of type and kind. Unfortunately, her recip put her a little behind the eight ball, in terms of condition, but pay attention sale day.

After she claimed Reserve Champion Female honors at the Junior National, we came home and flushed this cow again. Believe it or not, all seven eggs she made stuck. Unfortunately for this sale, Lot 16 was the only female born along with six brothers (look for a very impressive brother in Denver). It is a little scary how similar this heifer is to her sister, in terms of bonework and femininity. If this May baby is anything like her sister, she will get better every day of her life. Don’t miss out on your chance to be part of it.
