A
All right, so obviously, y' all have seen prior to this that Clay Morrison has those four prospects in the Lubbock Lights deal, which will be up for display there at Cook's Garage. But he's also got a separate set of calves that are going to be at his barn. Still a part of the Lubbock Lights deal, essentially, but they're just going to be at his barn. So, Clay, I want you to tell me why they're there. Essentially, just the idea of this. And then after that, we're going to go through the lots that'll be displayed up there at your barn.
- [00:24]
B
Yeah. So the. The Lubbock Lights kind of got put together after the March sale weekend, and we were already planning on having this April sale, so we really just kind of peeled off a couple to take that, and this would be the rest of the group that we were planning on selling this weekend anyway. So other than other than hauling a couple up to Lubbock Lights, this is going to be basically the same set you would have seen regardless. Awesome.
- [00:42]
A
Okay, Cool. All right. Shot one is a blue roan steer. He's a burster bubble on the 88246, which is a Banshee Steiner. This calf reads to have awesome hair quality, especially for a blue roan. But also I'd say that I think the calf licked off that color under the lights at Houston would be extremely cool. You tell me what you think, but I think the calf's very unique and very dual purpose.
- [01:04]
B
Yeah, this calf is an accidental mating. The 8246 is one of our donors. She had a couple silver and yellow calves in the last sale that did well and went to good homes. And this was a result of her getting stuck kind of in an odd time. And I'm on record as not liking blue cattle, and I'm sure a lot of people are going to call me and give me grief about having one as a lot one in my sale. But the calf is really high quality. He's really arrogant in his presence, really good in his body length and his depth of body. His back leg's really soft and sound. As far as a blue one goes, I don't know that you're going to stumble across a better one, especially one that can slick a calf that I think since he already is got a little more age on him, he's an April compared to these others that are August and September's a calf that probably has a more moderate mature frame score. So I think he'll probably be, you know, class two or three AOC flicking wise. And I think he's one that can get in there and find him a spot there even being a blue. And if you have the sail making blue roan steer to slick show, you basically raised the grand champion because it was, it was worse odds to get to that point.

A
Well, lot two is a keep swinging on a flatliner made amongst boys female. You list this one as an abc. Obviously that keep swinging bull has been knocking it out of the park for several individuals. I do like the calf's ability reads to have some grow but his hair quality is very, very nice and he gets that from his sire as well. And I'm sure from the bottom side as well being out of flatliner. But talk to me about the like him.
- [02:27]
B
Yeah. So the keep swinging bull I saw as a calf before he got traded hands a couple times and he was really high quality. So when I stumbled across a calf out of him, I, I thought it'd be worthwhile getting my hands on him. This calf I think is character wise. Okay. But you know one that if you're nervous about it, I would recommend just holler at me or if if it really makes you nervous, just don't bid. The calf's got good shape to his sheath. He had a lot of hair. We took it down kind of as tight as we could to make it balance still. But if a guy wanted I took some videos of it wet and stuff that I could send you if you're real curious. But as far as quality wise, the calf's really up headed, really athletic on the move. His back legs really attractive and sound and functional. A calf that if we did decide to bail on the ABC idea, I think we could band a sheath off and and make him a, a branding lemmy or AOC steer too. A calf that's just got enough quality to do a lot of things and enough hair to be a fort worth one and the right pieces to slick off as well.
- [03:21]
A
I completely agree. Yes sir. Well, lot three is next. This is going to be a bd a female. That's the bird three. She this would be a calf char aoc. I've honestly you quartered him just to showcase his shape up high stifle and hip shape as well. And I do like the calf reads to be a little younger compared to some in the sale. But I do, I do like the calf's quality a whole lot and I think that this calf with some time in tlc he's going to be an awesome lighter middleweight somewhere down the road.
- [03:49]
B
Yes, the. So the Bird three cow would have raised the grand champion at Houston last year for chicken dance. That black steer.
- [03:55]
A
Yes, sir.
- [03:57]
B
That cow was getting up there in age and I think they were just flushing on her a lot, trying to make some females. And this calf, you know, was just the other side of that. That mating calf that's got a lot of quality. He's really upheaded, really attractive, really athletic. He's got good shape. A calf that looks like he'll be easy feeding and he's backed by a really good cow, which I think matters more and more all the time these days. And if, if you're watching the shows, if you start watching those lighter weight Charolais and AOC glasses, I think they kind of read to be a spot that is a little bit soft further down the line. Obviously the top end is tough, but you know, when they're selling eight or nine of them, I think you can get in there and get one branded. And I think this calf could do better than that too, just with its quality.
- [04:35]
A
Lot four is next. This would be a king of kings on the 9162 female of yours. It's a get you some over 28. Another char or AOC. This calf reads to be like a moderate made, easy feeding type of show steer that's just going to have the fundamentals to definitely get a brand for sure anywhere between San Antonio and Houston. What I like about the calf the most is hip and eye and leg posture. I think that hind leg is extremely sought after.
- [04:59]
B
Yeah, this calf is one that never had good hair and when we sheared him off, I sure liked him a lot better. Calf that's really bendy legged and really sound. He's got good lines, he's big ribbed, he's got pin width. He's a calf that I think you could use him for a lot of things. You know, you get him to a major and slick him. Or if you have a competitive county fair that's, you know, down south or one of the ones that's after Houston, a calf that I think has a lot of endpoints where he could be real competitive.
- [05:22]
A
Yes, sir. Lot five is next. This would be a king of kings on a, an American Idol female, another AOC kind of motley face steer that's got some chrome about him. I think the calf's presence and arrogance is the highlight of him. His length of neck where it ties into his shoulder in tandem with that. A very, very nice shape in his cage. I do like his shape up High as well. Talk to me about him where you think his best endpoint and be how he'll feed.
- [05:46]
B
Yeah, I think any of the slick shows is a good fit for this calf. I think he'll have a enough color to kind of stand out immediately and then he's got good arrogance and presence up through his front end and a really soft, functional back leg. One that I've been waiting on to kind of grab a gear and go. He hadn't gotten quite as chunky as I thought he would have yet, but that just means there's plenty of room for him to go. He had a sister last year that was our second high selling heifer in our heifer sale. So I know the, the quality is there and I think he'll shut down and go at some point. But for now he's grown up a little more than he has out. But the calf has a lot of look and presence to him and I think, I think there's a feed program out there that can get him right.
- [06:19]
A
Yes sir. Lot 6 is next. This is gonna be a flight risk on another American Idol female. You list this one as possible Angus. So I'm gonna assume that pulled and I think if he gets in the Angus, this calf is going to be awfully competitive just in terms of his build, the way his hind leg is assembled in tandem with that. Just his look from profile for sure.
- [06:36]
B
Yeah, this calf has a really sharp look from the side. His head shape is little and cute and pulled a calf that's got a lot of look up through his front end. He's long and straight spined, really athletic in his movement. I think the lighter weight Angus classes have a bunch of kind of dumpy, early maturing ones. So he, I think he can get up there in, in the mix with those and kind of look like the outlier in terms of look. That calf had a full brother last year that showed really competitively as a Red Angus all year. We showed him as a red Cross at Houston because he kind of slicked off a little two toned colored and he was too out of the sale in the middleweights. And I thought he, he should have been one that branded. But you know, the shows shake out, how to shake out. But he was a calf that was competitive all year and I think this one can be the same.
- [07:15]
A
What seven is next a bring us or Gert prospect. This is going to be out of the Nelson bull from Colton Thigpen out of a cow that's a masterpiece over Uno Moss in terms of these Nelson Calves, I'd for sure say that I think he's a lightweight or a middleweight. I don't know if he gets any bigger than that, Clay. You can tell me otherwise. But my biggest highlight about the calf is his overwhelming rib shape and how he ties that into his shape up high or the top side of his shoulder and things of that nature. And I do like the calf's hip and hind leg posture. I think he's got an awful bright future.
- [07:44]
B
Yeah. This calf, I think that masterpiece cow has good size here. I think he's at least a middleweight. You know, he could trend up towards heavyweight. I think he'll. He's be dense and long enough bodied that he'll be pretty heavy. The calf is real interesting looking. He's got a lot of presence up through his front end. Like you said, his rib cage is really good in the way it ties in. That calf has just a monster back. You know, you can barely get your hand on it. It holds water at £500. I mean, he's. He's a big, stout calf, and I think one that. That should be good. His head looks brangasy, but if he pops a little scurr or something, I don't think he'll be any out of the money in the girts or something too, where you'll still be competitive.
- [08:17]
A
Once again, this is going to be for your sale there on the 4th. These are going to be the cattle that'll be a display at your barn. And so I'm excited to see how this goes as well, that there's a lot of varieties and end points with different types and kinds of show steers. And I think they all have a different place for somebody to where they can utilize them at their fullest potential. So with that said, you want to leave anything with the audience on this set of show steers before we end the preview?
- [08:41]
B
Nope. I think you covered it. But just to double reiterate, it is that the Lubbock Lights group will be at Cook's Garage on Saturday, and this group that we talked about will be at my barn all week leading up to it and. And through the sale time.
- [08:52]
A
Awesome. With that said, thank you all for tuning in. Empowerment's here, and we'll y' all next time.
