A (3:22)

Well, Ty, if you want to go ahead and introduce yourself, the lots that you got to offer, and then Kade and then Kendall, then y' all can go.

C (3:29)

Well, Weston, first of all, thank you for letting us on and kind of giving us a platform to talk about the offering that we're really, really excited about. Just going through everybody's stuff online. It all looks really good, and so we're excited. My name is Ty Gillespie, and I'm just a third of the Adams Cattle Company crew. Austin would be my brother in law, and so for some reason, his sister found favor in me, and so I got married into it and we all had a strong passion for it, and so we kind of built it from there. And so I'm really blessed with an awesome family. My in laws, Juan and Nikki, and then of course, Austin and his wife Christy, and then my wife Katie, and then our little one Grady is kind of what makes up our home team. And we're just really fortunate to have the opportunity to be in the sale with, again, like, great friends and, you know, cattle people that we really respect. I'll be honest with you. I don't exactly know our lot numbers off the top of my head, but we can kind of go through them as we go. But we're really excited to be part of this and be part of the offering.

A (4:34)

Absolutely. Cade, how about you?

D (4:37)

Yes, I'm probably one of the newest to the groups. I was fortunate enough to get Invited to the group just a handful of years ago. Taking a few years to get to the point where we're at. I'm extreme happy about the three calves we're bringing to the sale this year. Been a little bit in the works from going through vet school. Then moving around a little bit and finally getting established and finally think we've got everything bred the right way. And bring in three extremely nice calves to the sale. And in a little black and white American lot five yellow calf and lot 15 and a shorthorn and lot 16. So very fortunate be a part of this group. And great guys. We really respect myself, my wife Caitlin, and we got two little ones we chased around all the time that helping get these things broke. Got a little one that's almost two that has a whip flag that's run around all over the time. So these calves don't have a chance as far as not knowing what he is running around. So excited for this weekend and getting them out in front of people.

A (5:38)

Absolutely. Kendall, how about you?

E (5:41)

Yes, sir. We've got four head that we're offering. We're going to have lot two, lot nine, lot 10 and lot 29. Those are. All four are going to be American steers that we're proud of. All of them are out of cattle that, that, that we've raised that we've. That we put together. I think they're a good representation of what we've been trying to do,

A (6:05)

what

E (6:06)

we've been trying to breed as far as cows to. To go back on specific bulls on the bottom side of all, all of the pedigrees. Cobbler and what he's done for us and kind of how he's proving to be valuable now in our cow base as much or more so than he was for the steers that we sold that were competitive whenever he was when he was alive and we were turning him out. We're still using him pretty heavy on. On in our AI program. And then the 144 cow, she was born and raised on our place too. She'd be a kill shot. Solid gold kind of epitomizes what we've been trying to do as far as in our cow base. And like I say, the excitement behind the four that we've got in the sale is due to a commitment that I made to Weston whenever he called me and asked if we would be in the cell originally when it was still at Texas Tech and told him that we would just try to consign our best stuff every year to try to help the integrity of the cell and to try to make it grow. And I. These four definitely do that. Got four different breeds. We're gonna have a Brangus, gonna have a Simbraw, gonna have a abc. I guess we've got three different breeds. There's, there's two of them that probably gonna call a Simbraw. But me and Katie are proud of them. My family. Katie's my wife. I've got three kiddos. Kennedy just turned 11. Kelby, she's 8, showing for her first time this time she's gonna turn nine in May. And Wild Man Conley, he's, he's five. He, he turned five in September. And we just try to keep up with that one.

A (7:42)

That's right. For sure. Well, to start off the sale is Mr. Bourne's Lot 1. He'll be a drifting right over a female. You call 729, which is a right choice. Outer Limits. He is a September born. It is a pulled Hereford. In my mind that is a big ribbed, short backed, big hip steer. That in my mind is extremely functional. Watching this video, hair quality is awesome. Talk to me about him, what he looks like and where you think his endpoint needs to be.

B (8:06)

Okay. You know, first off, I didn't mention much of my family. I do want to say something briefly about them. My wife is Kristen. Our oldest son is going to school at Tech, second year, hopefully going to be a veterinarian here. In the end, he helps Kade down there at Lubbock. And then I have two or three girls, Cortland, Cameron and Brecken. And my oldest daughter's playing in the state tournament, basketball tournament, starting Monday, Monday night. So everything's kind of hectic around here. And then obviously my dad, my dad's the backbone of this deal. We started this back when I was about 15 or so years old back in the early 90s. And we were in the purebred business for years and, and got out of that. Had national champion bull at Denver and, and they bred the cow herd and, and dispersed the cow herd being bred back to that bull and, and that's was the starting kind of. Our first cows were purebred cows that we took out of that herd and then we started there and I, I had a very successful show career growing up. My sister was a little bit older than me and she didn't get to quite have the benefit of the cow herd there. But anyways, we kind of started that deal back years ago now, back before all three of you guys that are on here or even Glinting your your parents eyes. So there's a little bit of, a little bit of age and a little bit of history with the ranch. But dad's sure been the, the backbone of that and, and his foresight and how to breed these things and, and I was very fortunate to be able to pick up on. On it and he sent me off to college and I judged and, and I think the reason for that is so I'd be the spokesperson of this deal. And anyways, so long story short, we'll drop into lot one here and lot one is. You're right, he's a short back, big bodied one that I like a great deal. I had the opportunity to watch that drifting right bull sale at Chris's and I was with Gerald. Gerald's a long, long time friend. I competed against his kids growing up and I was able to help him select that bull that day and talk to him some differences on. On the bulls that were there and, and thoroughly enjoyed that. And that bull's built the same way. I ran across his pedigree today. He is a, he's a drifting. What do they call that bull? He is old. Josh Martin purchased him. I cannot think of his name right now. Anyway, something drifting and anyways that that bull was. Was a short back heavy muscle one there. One that I kind of thought was not necessarily ahead of his time but one that would sure put us, put us where we need to be. He is clean and so with that we've used him on a cow that goes back. You mentioned the hair coat there. We were early into this game back raising the bulls like Elijah and those that that hair is is known for that coming from the th and and that that calf is hairy. He's good looking, he's sound and one that I think is going to feed real, real good.

A (11:21)

Yes sir. Absolutely. Well, lot two is next and this is going to be one of Kendall's lots. This is a king of kings over cobbler. He will be a September born in my mind extremely unique for the American breed, especially with what's going so far. Long necked, tight chested, one that's extremely good in the angle to his shoulder and draws back to a level hip and utilizes his hind leg extremely well. I think in my mind this one goes Fort Worth all the way but still has the muscle shape or reads to have the muscle shape to be a real looking calf. What do you think Kendall?

E (11:50)

You bet. I would agree with all that. I do think this one's built for speed. Silver baldy like you Said King of Kings cobbler. This one's feet and legs are impeccable, the way I like them. If you know me, you know they got to be right at the ground first and foremost. And I a lot of times will give up a little power to have that. And that's this calf at the ground. Big square feet on both sides of his pedigree. And you can see it in this one. And I agree with you, he's soft enough haired, probably, depending on which part of the state he goes to, to go to Fort Worth. There is no th in that pedigree, though. So that makes me question, depending on which direction he goes, whether or not he'll be soft enough haired to go to Fort Worth. But I do believe his build. He is very, very competitive as a slick sheared steer. Like I said while ago, these cobbler females are really, really working for us. And with being. Being out of King of Kings and this particular cow, I do think every day on feed, this one's going to continue to get better and better. He's got a flush mate brother that has looked very good, been very competitive all year. That will get shown here the first part of March here in a couple of weeks. That looks to be very competitive again and should be right there in the mix.

A (12:57)

Yes, sir. Well, lot three will be next. This will be one of Mr. Bourne's cabs. Will be a matador out of the BH 720. Talk to me about this bull. He's obviously not been cut yet, so talk to me about why you left him intact, what the offering is, and what do you think he has to offer, either uncut or cut.

B (13:16)

Well, you're. You're right, he is intact. The reason I team that way, a lot of times, these bulls that we've kept along the way, K Matador encore. Those bulls have been maybe a little mismarked. This kef, I don't think is a surefire classifier. So one of the reasons I left him a bull is because of that. And in his pedigree reads as good as any. The matador bull days bought him back in 2000, I think 15 from us and has done a world of good for that program. Champions all over, plus the grand there in Fort Worth in 2020. Anyways, just one of those things where I thought, you know, the pedigree was good enough. We'd let somebody decide whether they truly wanted him as a bull or if they. If they wanted to go ahead and chance that deal at Odessa and, and see if he could rock along there, really really good haired one, really good extension through his front one third one that you got to really like for that short enough spine and really big in his pin set. Exceptional body shape. Obviously there's things that you'd like to change about each one of them, but that one does a lot of things good in that regard. The BH726 is a cow that I purchased a flush from Jess Shirley. That cow has done a world of good for, for the. Each of the owners that have had had that. That cow's been passed around a little bit. Starting off with obviously Bradley there in Miami, and then went to Bray Arms, which would be actually one of my closer neighbo at Groover at the time. And then sold to Jess Shirley, which is lives actually where Bray lived. So another one, a close neighbor of mine. And then I asked to purchase that cow a year or so ago, two years ago in Donors Unlimited a purchase half of it. And he had already sold that half to the Skipper family there in Amarillo. And so I didn't get that opportunity. But they did sell me a flush in that cow. And the resulting facts was she went 20, gave, put 26 of them out. I put 10 in, sold three. And then we've got 10 more to put in. And I think a good enough pedigree that I'll probably wait till my, my, my middle daughter's senior calf drop to put the. The rest of those things in. I think that much of what that pedigree can do for us, I'm going to keep 50% semen interest in him, 50% possession, and then the possession will take place after his first collection. And that collection will probably be done at Bullnanza there in Stillwater, just because it's the closest one for me. I know I took a bull called Livewire over there this, this last fall and he collected well. So that's probably where we'll end up taking this one. When he gets to that point, if that, if that happens, if he sells as a steer, I'm going to castrate him before he leaves. And the reason for that is because that those genetics. We talked about it earlier before we got on here. The Matador bull is not out there on the market. We did sell a handful of that stuff through the Patriot sale, us and Daze, and we're kind of kept that to ourselves. And with these matings like Livewire and with this bull, I don't know what for sure what I'm going to call him yet, but we just. I want to, I Want to be able to. To sell this semen if the. If the new partners want to. I want to get it out on the market the same way we new Livewire, But I sure think this one's good enough to leave intact. Things are good enough to show, but everybody can make that decision next weekend for sure.

A (16:56)

Lot four is next, and this is gonna be the first offering that Austin Adams and Mr. Ty, who's on here, have to offer. He's a Sugar bear over the 210 cow. That's a Johnny Football over MAB. In my mind, I don't haven't seen the cap in person, but I think this one classes shorthorn, but I'm not 100% confident on that due to the fact that I haven't seen him in there in person. But in my mind, that's an extremely burly, extremely dimensional steer from all angles while still being correct in the angle to his shoulder and very, very neat from his profile. Talk to me about what y' all think of that calf. I think he's a Fort Worth prospect all day long.

E (17:29)

Yeah, you bet.

C (17:30)

Weston to touch on the cow side a little bit. That 210 cow would be our pick. I can't remember which summer it was, but the first summer that Chris kind of started letting go of some of his fall cabin cows. And so we, I guess, kind of have Tyler and Philly to thank for pointing us in the direction of that cow. And she's done a tremendous job for us. Just extremely consistent. And so as has clicked really well with the Sugar Bear bull, there would have been a pair of them that sold last year real well into some good homes that'll. That'll show here coming up that we're pretty excited about. And then we've got kind of a litter of them this year that come out all different colors. And. And so we're excited about him. That calf, I do think, you know, again, the classifying deal can. Can be uncertain sometimes, but he does hit us as a shorthorn. We would have had the Frankie steer that was third. And the middles this. This year at Fort Worth would have been one that we sold last year. And this calf kind of reminds us of that one at this stage, maybe just a little bit more everywhere. We're proud of this calf, and I love to people to come out and see him in person and think the calf represents himself pretty well.

A (18:42)

Yes, sir. Well, lot five will be next, and this will be an American ranger over an American beast. This would be the first calf that Mr. Luckett has to Offer he is still a bull and intact Simbra or ABC option if cut is a steer. Talk to me about what you think of him. I think he's extremely proportional from the side with big feet and legs that work right. Talk to me about what you think of him and where you think his endpoint needs to be.

D (19:06)

Yes, sir. No, I just think this calf's so incredible. Probably the best, best American I've ever raised. And so with his age and where he's at, definitely thought leave him intact and let the buyer decide where they want to go with him. I think that he could change some cows quite a bit or be a pretty good breeding piece down the road. But how unique he is. I definitely think he would make an amazing show steer. He big hair. I think he could get along pretty good in the middle at Fort Worth, however, I think you could go class him at a sim bra and make a run at the breed down the road at some of the slicks. He is. You go over the top of him. He is all there. He goes back to genetics. Go back to a cow. We got from Doug and David Pierce, their first heifer offering way back when a honey badger bred her to American Beast and created our one of our newer donors that we call Empire and that's one of her first live calves out of them. Really didn't know what to do with this calf or to offer him or kind of keep him to myself right after he was born, but took her and got her flushed with Dr. Mims and in his words, the most incredible set of embryos he's seen after he was looking at the dish and got me 30 new embryos this way. So figure it's time to offer him up and let's see see how fun he can be this summer and down the road out of major next year.

A (20:24)

Absolutely. Well, lot six will be next. This will be an amazing grace out of a front and center cow charolay or AOC. And I know Mr. Born had told me prior to this that Mr. Long knew these calves more familiar than others. So, Mr. Long, if you've seen the calves or want to talk about them and what they look like or where you think they could land, then please

E (20:43)

do so that that Kafa Hagy's Lot 6. He's an amazing graze front and center. And that one is big back, big hip, big muscles. I've told lots of people I may be that particular bull's biggest fan. I mean, he's worked very, very good for us in our program and we fed Quite a few of them now in our short little tenure here the last three years. And those cattle seem to perform and feed as, as good as any that I've personally fed on. And I think this calf's going to be the same way. I mean, he's short from flank to flank. He's got a big, robust rib cage. And like I say, when you get on top of him, I mean his back is big and he's got big muscles. His feet and legs are good. The angles to his skeleton are awesome. And those hagies, they put together a neat little set of cows that have, that have had a good little run here no longer than they, they've been in production, been in the business. And I think this calf's no different. I see a lot of future in him.

A (21:35)

Yes, sir, for sure. Lot 7 will be next. And this will be a battleship out of 941, which would be a ride on over a 1001, which would be the mother of Matador. So this is Septemberborn Leopold, Hereford, inter haired than some that we've talked about before. Long necked, extremely angular in the terms of his shoulder, old rib cage, awesome hind leg. Talk to me about where you think he needs to end up. I think he's a great Fort Worth contender.

B (21:59)

Yes, sir. I really like this calf. It's one of dads that he raised. And that cow's been really, really good to us there with that 941 back in the pedigree that goes back to Matador's mother. Be a ride on out of Matador's mother. And that cow actually had last year the Harding family, which would be Adam Potts, his nephew. They had one of these full brothers on feed at in Cowtown. They, they showed him the end up being seventh in the heavies and they were shooting to get that thing in the mid. And obviously I think if we'd have been in the middles, we'd have been up there in contention to win that class. I know that sitting around ringside, David Waldrop and Kevin Jensen both told me that, that that class of the polls last year was probably the hardest of the whole entire Hereford show, horned and polled. So I felt pretty confident in that. This calf here, just a little bit more of everything little, a little more pulled apart in the skeleton, a little bit more rib, a little bit more just bone and just hair and quality. That one my dad thinks is the best one he's ever brought to the south plains. I like that thing a lot. He's, he's Brought a lot of good ones down there and several of them have ended up in, in that championship drive and come home with the banner out of Fort Worth. I think in the right home, the right family, that one ends up being a heavyweight. And sure enough, one that can, that can push on that pole deal pretty hard. He's just a complete package. And you're right structure, angles to his skeleton and everything like that is, is, is phenomenal. Uses that hip and hind leg correctly which if you listen to Mr. Ward Judge that deal out there this year in Fort Worth, that hip and hind legs gotta, gotta function right and that one sure does it. And he's gonna have plenty of hair. You can make that thing look just as good. With that said, he's still truly got enough muscle shape that it doesn't matter. So a very good one and one that I'm proud of my dad's. This is going to be the next to last calf crop that he takes to the south plains. And I'm sure proud of this one for him. I really think a lot of, a lot of him.

A (24:13)

Eight is next. And this will be yours as well, Mr. Bourne. He's a matador. Oh 300. Which is a Kalija BH756. This is a pole. Hereford hits me as a little greener than some but I think that's plenty. Okay. I think his build is perfectly awesome for the feeding kind that can get them to the 12 o' clock standpoint. What do you think?

B (24:32)

So I think you're exactly right. He uncondition wise is not as far along as some of the other calves in the cell. Of course we. Kevin September, a lot of that is due to heat and trying to keep these things alive instead of in August or late late July. Anyways, this one, you're right, he's short backed, he's, he's, he's big bodied and one that I think feet and legs are good on. Really like his neck set and the way that that thing ties in there. One that I think we haven't had a whole lot of these. But dad, that 0300 cow goes back to that BH756 and, and that's the cow that, that's. This cow is actually a full sib to a bunch that the Besner families have won with in Fort Worth and in Odessa. So I think these are going to be the right kind, the right feeding kind and ones I really, really do like.

A (25:25)

Yes sir. Lot 9 will be next and this will be yours, Kendall. He's already Every day over the 144 cal. The kill shot solid gold, which you'd previously talked about, obviously a bring a steer he's pulled. So he is extremely dual purpose due to the fact that if his shag doesn't come on for Fort Worth or you don't think he's quite 12 o', clock, he can definitely be in complete contention at a slick show. What do you think, Kendall?

E (25:48)

You bet. Yeah. I would completely concur with what you just said. There is nothing up to this point that tells me this won't be one of the hairiest ones that ends up showing up at Fort Worth and trying to run at it. I mean, this one was the hairiest, one of the hairiest calves that we had on the place this time. And the 144 cow, like I previously said, should be a kill shot solid gold. The Beerwinkle family actually showed her for us a couple of times. And she would have been. She would have won her calf division at San Antonio in 2020 and then would have went back as a bred and been reserve overall AB ARB female in 2024. And still to this day, you go out to her in the pasture and I mean she's just what all of us aspire to try to leave the house every day and go look at. I mean, she's perfect at the ground. She's got a big perfect belly. Her shoulder lays into her. Awesome. And her front third is. That's one of my favorite things about her. And this calf's that way. I mean, he's flat in his shoulder. He's arrogant about the way he carries his head and his neck. And like you said, being black and smooth poled. If Fort Worth didn't go our way, which I don't see why it wouldn't, this calf would shear off and. And go on to be very, very competitive. On the wall shack. He looks very, very good. His feet are big and square. He's got the kind of shape that we like, that we need in these shearing cattle. And like I say, I'm excited to see how this thing's going to feed out of that cow because she hadn't missed WAT10's next.

A (27:16)

That will also be yours, Kendall. He's a ready everyday cobbler. He is still intact. You label him as a Simbra? I think he's extremely unique, marked, extremely dense featured at the surface and very unique from the profile. So leaving him a bull in my mind is an extremely smart scenario. But if you decide to cut him, I think he's awfully competitive as well. What do you think?

E (27:35)

You bet. Yes. This would actually be a flush mate to a calf that the Biggs family would have campaigned successfully a couple of years ago and would have been right in the middle. Right. And I think he ended up being sixth place in the heavyweight Americans at Fort Worth. And that mating was actually the reason why I made it the previous lot the way I did. Just because of the way that calf fed and everything he brought to the table. Like you said, this one, when he hit the ground up, you know, all the way to weaning, we just thought his unique pieces, the way he's built at the ground, the way that he combines his skeleton being that big footed, that big legged, his circumference of bone being what it is, and still being as good jointed as he is to combine that with the rib cage that he's got, the head, neck and shoulder. We just thought that coupled with his color, that, you know, there might be some value there as a bull. That being said, if you elect to purchase him and castrate him, we're going to get behind you and we're going to try everything we can do to help you be successful because we think you can compete at the highest level.

A (28:33)

Well, line 11 will be next. This will be Mr. One and Bob Boards. He'll be a LiveWire 028 which will be a battleship out of 399, which would be the mother to Floyd, supreme champion in Odessa. He is extremely unique from the side. Long necked, long spine, big hip, utilizes his hind leg really well. Extremely burly in terms of his center body. Talk to me about what you think that his end point looks like and what do you think he has to offer.

B (28:57)

I think you're exactly right on what you said about the kif. Obviously this is the first round of livewires that we have and I'm extremely happy with the way that that all ended up as far as the way the calves look here. I know some of the guys that bought semen early on a, on an unpromoted bull there have liked those calves as well. I think that those things are going to be real moderate in size, real good legged. That bull is a, is a DS carrier and you can dang sure see it in their feet and foot size and just their pasture and the way they flex out of their hog, all that kind of correlates. They're real big pin ones and ones that are going to look like they're going to feed with with plenty of Body. I like the structure in them. I like the way the muscle shape looks in them at this size. Their pin set and the way those, those pins are pulled apart. Ones that I think they're going to going to feed very very well. Just knowing the pedigree on the, on both the top and the bottom side as well as I do. The 028 cow. My daughter showed one of those things in in Fort Worth and, and this time that I thought was very, very good. We get a, we get a try him at at Houston since we we classed out there. But this, this one won't have any class and issues I don't see. But anyways, I think that that cow does a really, really good job. And going back to the 339cow that's been my boy's senior year in, in 2024, she put five of them things in the cell in Fort Worth and it was very good. My boy was second in the, in the middles and then the full sib to the, to the cow was actually second in the middle. 4, 5, 6 years ago now, 5 years ago probably she'd be a flushmate to the, that calf would have been a flushmate to this cow. When the cow's doing a super good job and one I'm very very convinced that's going to going to feed well. I'm not worried about him going to Fort Worth. I think if he goes to Fort Worth he gets along great and in the middleweights and if he has to select which I don't see that happening. But if he has to slick one that I think's got plenty of gas to get that done deal to either at San Antonio or at Houston.

A (31:19)

Yes sir. Lot 12 will be next and you'll be a ride on time on female. You call 850. She's a ride on out of the same 399 which would be the mother to Floyd supreme champion in Odessa. Another Hereford prospect that resembles a lot of pieces of the steer that you just talked about being long neck, big hip, extremely functional at the surface, still bold ribbed. I think he's got a lot of future ahead of him.

B (31:39)

Yes sir. This is the greenest one out of the bunch that we're taking down there. This one I think is going to feed extremely well. Be a 7 8th brother to the one my boy had there his senior year that was second in the middle. This one's going to feed really good. Of course the, the. The ride on time bull there is is one there that Bradley and Bradley Hale and Tanner Martin have. That's very limited on semen. One that I knew that would click with my cows and sure enough that did. And like I said, several of those in 2024 were, were bred very, very similar to this one. I like this one a great deal. Obviously wanted. I lean very heavy on the cow side of things and think the cows make up a huge stride in the breeding scenario. And this one was one of my dad's better breds and one that we've used quite a bit flush wise and those calves have gotten along very, very well at the majors. So again I think and one that's going to be probably small enough for a first time kid, gentle enough for sure. One, don't just look past him because he's green because he'll feed, feeding and feed very well.

A (32:48)

Yes, Sir. Well, Lot 13 will be next and this is one that Ty will talk about. He's a red elephant over the 133 donor, which is a general monopoly in my mind. Not the craziest haired one. It just reads off video. I think he hits me as an awesome slick shearing show steer. Very, very shapely over the top side and from behind. Awesome rib cage and extremely nice profile. What do you think, Ty? I could be wrong about the hair ordeal, but give me your thoughts.

C (33:14)

No, I think you're, you're right on there, Weston. You know, several of ours and we've had kind of a weird, you know, weather year have slipped, you know, just a little bit and shucked out. And this calf would kind of be one of those that shucked pretty good. But I just think his pieces and the way that his skeletons put together reads awesome. Whether you want to try it with hair or shear him off look is definitely in this calf's pedigree. This calf's grandmother would have been a cow that my wife actually picked out that was an incredible looking animal. This cow's mother is wild. Look at out in the pasture. And so he kind of was blessed with that little, little head, long neck and just anatomically he's put together really, really neat from the side. Skeleton works good. Rib cage is still really round and his upper body shape is tremendous. I think, you know, he's probably one that's maybe just a peach behind in terms of condition and just needs to kind of smooth out. But I think a really neat theft. It's just got a lot of different kind of end points and one that should be really fun to feed. And yeah, you're never gonna not get a look with this one for sure.

A (34:17)

You also hold the lot 14 steer, which is another red elephant out of the 114 donor. This one in my mind has extremely nice hair. I think it's a awesome to mess with for jackpot shows and whatnot. But I think this one's back shape and the way that he has his lower quarter and stifle and the size to his foot is extremely useful for being there on the turf as a slick shear in the AOCs.

C (34:40)

You bet. Just pretty crazy slick shearing one. I mean in the wash rack, just big back shape, real opened up from behind, extremely bold. And then to kind of combine it with just that type of look I think is pretty unique. This is a cat that just pieces wise kind of hard to put together, I think and does a lot of unique things. Calf it. I'm kind of. I'm kind of weird. I'm a freak on heads. This calf's head suits me really, really well. I think you could take this calf to kind of a, you know, bigger, heavier weight. He's always going to look fresh and look right. So neat calf here. Really, really cool pieces.

A (35:15)

Yes, sir, for sure. Well, lot 15 will be next and this will be Mr. 1 of K lucky steers. He is a standout over a yellow jacket granddaughter. He's a June born. He's a charolay or AOC option. In my mind, this one is extremely unique from profile, being long necked, good in the angle to his shoulder, bold ribbed as well as being level hipped and an awesome hind leg that is used very, very well. Talk to me about where you think he needs to end up and what his end point looks like.

D (35:42)

Yes, sir. No, this thing's been a creature since he's hit the ground. His haircut did him a ton of good. He was kind of. You didn't know what to think of him out there in the pasture. He's just. I've never had anything this hairy in the past, but finally got him cleaned up and he is amazing to put him on the get him in motion. He's got so much hair. I think that Fort Worth is obviously where this guy needs to go. I think you can keep him in that middle division and make a run there in the middle division with him. However, he is so stout, so big, muscled, moves like a cat. I think there's no problem slicking this one and taking him on down the road and you can get along very well. Most win points with him. I think he's another one that'd be fun to show all summer and get on down the road. Just fine with him.

A (36:26)

Yes, sir. Will you also hold the lot 16 steer, which would be a perfection heat wave September born. Definitely a shorthorn in my mind. He's obviously a little greener compared to some that we've talked about, but I don't think that defers away from his quality. His build's incredible. I think with the right time and enough feed that he'll be extremely, extremely competitive there at Fort Worth. He's got the right hair to do so.

D (36:48)

Yes, sir. And I, I went back and forth whether offer this one now or wait till April. He's so, so green. He's out of one of my old heat wave shorthorn type cow. She's had some cell raised several calves that made the sale for my sister. Even I had a cleanup Brangis bull. She stuck some in the cell as an American, so she's done a lot of good for us. She's deceased now, but her last flush flushed her to perfection. So excited to put these embryos in. Put it in a reset I knew would stick. Cow had 2 quarters go bad on her. She's old, didn't milk anything, and he's so, so green. But he's got all the right pieces that mating I've dreamed about. Finally, perfection bred to her way. And like you said, he has all the right pieces. He's just so green, but phenomenal hair. I think the middleweight middles at Fort Worth, he will get along just fine. And don't think you'll ever have a issue classifying with him.

A (37:42)

Sure. Lot 17 will be next. This will be an in God we trust, son that the heggies own and utilize over a female. That's a patio Malley hoodoo. This one is a limni and or AOC in my mind. Kendall, talk to me about what you think these steers will end up looking like. I think this one reads extremely well in terms of being a slick shearing one. He's got the right muscle shape and pattern to do so.

E (38:06)

Sure.

A (38:07)

Yeah.

E (38:07)

I guess first that in God we trust, son.

B (38:10)

There.

E (38:11)

That would have been a bull that that Hagee family bought from Chris Black two years ago. And I believe that's right, you can verify that. But that bull's been very, very impressive for what he's done in their herd and in pretty limited use so far. And I've already spoke for some semen. I'm going to start using it on some of my cows. I just, I'm really impressed what that bull's done and I think these cattle here in this cell are a testament to that. This particular gold calf, dark orange calf here, he's actually out of a cow. I would have sold them whenever Cassidy wanted to get started. She's a patio Malley hoodoo. And this one, I do agree with you. I think this one makes a lemme. And I think his endpoint. San Antonio, Houston, either one, I think depending on who gets him and what goal they have in mind, he can be fed accordingly. This one's sound at the ground. His ribcage to me is one of the most impressive things about him for a calf his age. I mean, you get, you know, from the side, the way his. The swoop to his belly reads and you get in behind him and just the way he reads from his heart, you know, all the way back from on the top side of his skeleton all the way down to his lower cage. I mean, it's just pretty impressive on, on an animal that size and with. With multiple breed options and end points. I just, I think you can't go

C (39:21)

wrong there for sure.

A (39:22)

Well, lot 18's next. That's gonna be another one for the Hagee family. Out of the same bull that you got. We trust son from Chris Black over a red rocky female. This would be a semi or aoc. I think he's got enough hair to be in contention there at Fort Worth, but I definitely also think he's a short back steer that's got an awesome hip. That could be the slicking type as well.

C (39:41)

I agree.

E (39:41)

Yes, sir. No, you nailed it there. I think his hair is big and it's the right kind of hair. I think if a guy want him a middleweight division at Fort Worth, he could be successful there or, you know, that color of hide that'll be able to classify something other than AOC always seems to be in. In pretty high demand. And being able to go in the simmental division, I think just makes him that much more valuable.

A (40:02)

Yes, sir. Lot 19 will be one of ties. He'll be a ride on out of the 109 female, which is a ride. Answer 1001. Which be a flushmate sister 2 matador. This one in my mind is extremely neat from the profile. Long necked, bold, ribbed, big hip, and definitely utilizes his feet and legs the right way. I think he's got the hair quality to be awesome at Fort Worth, but also has the right shape to be a good slick sharing calf.

C (40:26)

You bet. He would actually be derived from. From Bourne's genetics and the same year that matador would have sold the days. This one's mother would have sold as a heifer, and Austin would have. Would have purchased her at that time. And she's done a great job for us and has had several calves that have kind of knocked on the door. This one would be a flush mate to a calf of the Allen families that was fourth in the heavies at Fort Worth this year that. That we thought highly of. The Carter family also would have sold one that would have been third behind the champion reserve horn that Odessa a couple of years back. And so these cattle have fed really good out of this mating, and we're pretty pumped about this one. This one kind of resembles some attributes of the Allen steer this year at Fort Worth. Maybe just a little bit more maturity, a little stouter foot and bone on this one. Uses his feet and legs. Awesome. I think, you know, right now, in that breed, sometimes we get it. We can get a little bit, you know, tighter ankles and things of that nature. And this calf's just his hip and his hind leg is so loose and free and flexible. And so I think that this calf, again, looks awesome at footwork. Good shear as well. Good, Good cat here.

A (41:38)

Well, another steer of yalls would be Next in Lot 20. He'd be a sugar bear out of the same female that we've talked about prior to. Should be 210, which would be a Johnny Football Mab, a shorthorn steer in my mind. Don't know if he classifies a hundred percent, but definitely has the color pattern to do so. Hits me as a slick shearing kind. Has an awesome back shape, awesome hip that's extremely dimensional from behind, and has an awesome presence from the side. Talking about where you think he needs to end up.

C (42:04)

Yeah, I would say, you know, again, we'll have a nice hair coat that, you know, can. Can be jackpotted with or, you know, if you got a, you know, early kind of January county fair or something like that, can definitely look the part at that time. But I definitely think that you hit the nail on the head. Weston talked about cheering. This one's just body shape and his hip design and the way that his tail, head sits right great on his feet and legs. Again, I think these two tin cattle are going to feed really, really well. The ones that we've fed in the past have done so and so. So we're really excited about this litter that she's put together. And again, just all different color patterns. And so again, just another cap that we're real excited about, and I think has a Lot of versatility and a lot of quality.

A (42:45)

Yes, sir. Well, lot 21 will be next. This will be a Hagi prospect, which would be out of that in God sun that we've talked about prior to out of a female. That's a man up semi or AOC in my mind. Good haired to have a run over the summer and exhibit that. But I think that in terms of his shape dimension, especially from behind, he reads as a slick, shearing kind, for sure. Kendall, give me your thoughts.

E (43:07)

You bet. I would agree with that. The calf does. He's got a white snip in his head and like you said, I, I see this one as a sheer in one. Kind of put him on feed, kind of see what he, what he does as far as rate of gain goes and let that determine where. What his best endpoint is. But there again, just being out of that bull, I mean, this one's built the same way. This one's really, really good at the ground and his muscle shape and the way that he's put together.

C (43:36)

To me, he looks like a Houston

E (43:37)

one, but like I say, come look at him yourself.

C (43:40)

And I think he fits multiple different endpoints for sure.

A (43:42)

Lot 22 is next out of the same sire. The In God We Trust son of Hagee's on an easy street. This one is a little denser hair, and in my mind he's an awesome Division 1 contender. But if things don't work out there at Fort Worth, which I hope they do, I think this one's an awesome AOC on the turf or in Houston for sure.

E (43:59)

I agree. Yes, sir. No, this one's definitely softer haired. Could go to Fort Worth, and I think he's very competitive. Depending on how he grows and what part of the state he goes to, I think he could be a class 3, 4 if he stays in 8006 or north. I think he's probably more like a 5, 6, 7, but. But yes, he's very, very dual purpose, extremely well built calf that, that should, should make some, some kiddo very, very happy for sure.

A (44:24)

Lot 23 will be next, and this will be one of Ty's steers. This will actually be a full Sid lot 20. But what's really neat about him is this one reads to be a little bit longer neck, a little bit neater chested. I love his rib cage. I love the size and dimension out of his hip and very, very flexible at the surface and the use to his lower joints. I think this one's extremely competitive at Fort Worth. He's got the right kind of hair. But I think his shape as well makes him an awesome dual purpose calf.

C (44:51)

You bet. I apologize. West, and I don't. I don't know my lot's good enough. What. What color is this calf?

A (44:57)

This is the gold one.

C (44:58)

Okay, okay. Solid gold one. You bet. You bet the one. And out of that 210 plush, this is the. The one solid colored one that we got. I think he's, you know, sure dark enough to be a lemmy if you wanted to shear him. And he's kind of got the rings around his eyes, rings around his muzzle, his ears set. You know, to me, it hits me as a limmy if you wanted to shear him. But he's got a good, good, soft hair coat. Gonna have plenty of hair and skeletons. Real good. Real solid calf. Real dual purpose to me. Just the kind of cattle that, you know, feed, get better every day and make good, good projects for sure.

A (45:33)

Well, lot 24 is next. This will actually be a full sig to him as well. This would be a shorthorn prospect, I think did tear it enough to make Fort Worth and make a run. I love the way that he's so balanced from the side. Ultra rib cage that draws back to a soft and deep flank. Has a level hip and utilizes hind leg extremely well. I think he's an awesome Fort Worth middleweight, maybe heavyweight, depending on what area of Texas he's in. But I think he's also a very nice, slick calf as well.

C (46:01)

You bet. This one is probably a little too gentle for his own good. This calf has always just been real good to be around ever since we first put the halters on. And so if you had somebody that, you know, was kind of maybe looking for one that needed to be a little gentler, I think this calf would definitely fit the part. This calf's pieces are real neat to me. I mean, just his rib, especially his lower body, I think is tremendous. He's real square out of his upper hip. Moves good. He's maybe looks a little tight loined in the video, and that's probably my fault. I maybe took his loin just a little too tight when we clipped him and. And didn't watch him get out and go before I kind of buzzed him down. But real neat calf. Like his color a lot. Good quality hair. Good, good cat for sure.

A (46:45)

Well, lot 25 is next. This should be another livewire prospect for Mr. Boards out of the O28 cow, which is a battleship out of the 399, to be the mother that a Floyd supreme Champion in Odessa. This one is really intriguing for profile. Long necked, long spine, big hip steer that has a very flexible hind leg. I love his body shape and dimension as well. Hits me as a very nice Fort Worth contender, but also has the shape up high to be a very nice look sheared steer as well.

B (47:14)

I think you're right, Weston. This one, this one's been one of my favorite out in the pasture just early on. One that I thought has a very, very good look. He's not, he's not got as much hair as some of the other prospects that we've got, but that one sure has got a killer look from the side. Very good in his chest, floor extension through his front end and then he got a love. Not very many people talk about it. We just don't mention it much. But some of them just have a look, especially about their head. They just, they, they just know that they're pretty good. And, and I think this one is really dead level out of his hip. Really, really big pinned and then super, super flexible one that I read that if he stays in my part of the world is going to be a heavy and one that I think that Fort Worth, after watching through Fort Worth and, and what happened there, this reads very well for that particular individual judging that I thought Mr. Ward did a good job as far as as putting cattle together kind of the right kind of design. You go back and look at the, at the backdrop pictures of those cattle and how balanced they were. And this one is one of those that balances up very, very good and has all the str. All the structure that he needs as far as as planting them things right. They all four go the right way. And then probably his most intriguing factor to me is just how big his hip really is. I'm probably the biggest hipped calf that I've offered in some time in this sale for sure.

A (48:43)

Well then lot 26 is going to be next. This is going to be a Hagi prospect. Be the in God We Trust son that we've talked about prior to or the Here I am donor. This would be an AOC prospect. Hits me as a dense haired individual that is extremely proportional, but reads to be a short but very shapely back alongside a very dimensional hip and hind leg. So talk to me about what you think of him, Kendall.

E (49:05)

Yes, sir, I agree. I think that one is very dual purpose as well. He's got the kind of hair in the right home. That one's going to go to Fort Worth and be competitive. Looks to me like A guy could, you know, be in that class 12 range and go in there and be the younger, fresher one that that gets along. I really do think when you get on top of this guy, I mean he's going to be super high cutability caps that. But you know, we talk about these guys that walk up to him and you know, they want to grab a big back. That's what you get with this guy. Personally, I think depending on what a guy's goals are and what a family wants to do, I really do think the calf's got enough performance in him if you elected to do so. I think he's got, like I say, the performance and the grow to him to be able to go and even make a class one is a lightweight exotic at the state fair in October.

A (49:50)

Yes, Sir. Well, lot 27 is next and this is going to be one of Ty's cavs that he's got to offer. He's a red elephant out of the 114 donor. Solid red, but has a little bit of white on his switch. It reads like extremely proportional from the hot from the side. A dense haired individual that has a bold rib cage, a level hip and a very awesome hind leg. Talk to me about where you think he needs to end up. I think Fort Worth middles is a really good spot for him.

C (50:14)

Yes. I think this is maybe one of the most versatile calves that we have. An offering as far as he could be, you know, hair or slick. Also breed type on this calf is, is really interesting to me. His, his head shape reads to me really like a red Angus. He's real flat headed. His ear sets kind of small and sits right and so I'd certainly, you know, I think that that could be an option but if, if it doesn't go right, I think this calf's quality is still, you know, speaks for itself. Personality is awesome. I still got plenty of muscle. Looks good on the wash track, but I think it's got a great, great hair coat. Really nice calf. This was actually one of the photographer's favorites that day. She just loved how balanced he was and so good cap here got a great attitude to the boot on this one for sure.

A (51:01)

Lot 28's next. He'll be another red elephant. Prospect of ties out of the 113 door, which is a general monopoly. This one in my mind is a lot similar to that calf in terms of his length and extension. But as well as his rib shape, to me this one reads a little more moderate, maybe a little more easier feeding. I haven't seen the calves in person either, so I couldn't say that 100%, but that's just what I read off of pictured video.

C (51:24)

No, absolutely. I do think that this one just probably looks like he's going to stay a little smaller. I love this calf's rib cage. I love his look. His presence is very good in my opinion. I made a note of it in the, in the comments there on the sale. I wish his foot shape was maybe just a little bit better. It's something that I do think that is going to have to be stayed on top of if I'm just being transparent. But this calf, I think as a slick and red one, puts a lot of neat things together. His rear three quarter shot is really, really impressive for sure.

A (51:58)

Lot 29 will be next and this will be one of Kendall's. He's a great one out of the cobbler female that is so prolific there. He's a September board in my mind. Extremely dense haired. I think he makes an awesome run at Fort Worth. But in my mind he's also extremely shapely and I think that his feet and legs could definitely be a highlighted somewhere on the green turf or chips for sure.

E (52:18)

Yes, sir. No, I would agree with you there. This one's top and kind is really what we've been striving to make. I mean this one in his proportions, this one and his, like you mentioned his hair quality. This one and his ests just the extra that this one brings to the table. We're, we're very, very proud of this one. He's color, you know, is the first thing that hits you. And it seems like every year filling orders for people and you know, you got especially little girls, it seems like

C (52:42)

come up to you.

E (52:43)

What do you want to show? I want to show a black and white one.

C (52:45)

Well, here he is.

E (52:46)

I do think this one is very, very high quality. I think his size makes him a middleweight at full worth. Like you said, if you choose when you see him, if you think he's better suited to be sheared off, this one will go to all the way to Houston if a guy needed him to. But there's not a doubt in my mind that we can have him ready the first of February. I mean, I think he's going to be one of the ones everybody's talking about when he hits the bar.

A (53:08)

Well, then lot 30 is next. This is going to be one of Mr. Bourne's steers to offer. He's a battleship out of the 941cow, which is a ride on 1001 which would be the mother to Matador. This is a Paul Hereford. He reads to be a little younger compared to some. Probably same size as some that Kindle are offering or a few others. But this one's build is awesome. I love his proportionality from the size or from the side. Talk to me all where you think his end point is. I think he's a great slick sheeran steer for Houston or Austin for sure.

B (53:37)

So Weston, I think you're right in that regard. I think one that balances up really good. Probably end point could be a little pushed a little further out there as far as like Houston or Austin. Like you were saying, a little greener in his design. Really balances up well. Gotta love the extension of the neck that he has. He's short backed and he's good hipped and then feet and legs are right on this one. I think. One that's gonna feed very, very well for somebody. And then again gentle as can be.

A (54:04)

Yes sir, for sure. Well, lot 31 is next. This will be a tidal wave out of out of Maggie female of yours, which is a full sister to Matador. He is a Hereford in my mind. Just as proportional from this side. Extremely good footed at the surface. Has a big hip. Talk to me about where you think his end point needs to be. He's good haired, so I think he's a real good Fort Worth prospect.

B (54:25)

Yes sir. I think that Fort Worth is a good endpoint. I do think that he'll feed on out to Houston. And if you want him to, just knowing his pedigree there, I don't think he's going to be great big there at Fort Worth. Probably a middleweight end point there in Fort Worth. That's where you want to go. I love the muscle shape in this one. This is actually my brother in law's calf. He bought a full SIB2 matador from my dad. Dad had flushed that cow. I'd raised the cow, but dad had flushed that cow back to right answer to the same mating there. And got one that gene bought out of one of our female cells there. When we used to do our female cells there in the spring. He's out of tidal wave which tidal wave for me makes them things just a little bit heavier muscle. A little heavier muscle than in ones that have a little bit bigger foot and hind leg in them for us in particular. And I do like the way that this one's built really, really good from the side. Really long necked and really square out of his hip. One that I think someone gets a hold of and they. They can push and. And kind of meet an endpoint where. Wherever they want to go, for sure.

A (55:32)

Well, the last lot of the sale will be this one of Mr. Ties. It'll be a sugar bear out of the 210 female. As we've talked to, talked about priorly, Johnny Football over at nab. This one hits me as a really dense, burly individual. It's got an awesome hind leg and a really big back. I think he's an awesome Fort Worth contender, but has the right slicking muscle shape to be an extremely big competitor there at the San Antonio.

C (55:56)

For sure. Absolutely. And, you know, Austin and I are both avid listeners of the podcast, and so getting to listen to those episodes, like the post sort with Frank was really, really neat. And I think it's awesome that you're able to do some of those things and kind of give us guys in the industry some insight into what they're looking for. And I do think that this calf kind of fits some of those things that he was talking about. Hip hind leg design, utilization of it. This calf's got a massive rib cage, and it's just extremely dense and burly like you spoke on. He should have. Should have adequate hair from Fort Worth and kind of have a neat color pattern to get noticed out there, but I dang sure. Thank you. He makes a nice slicking one, too. Could kind of run in the sennies. And again, I think these 210 cattle, this is a. A great set that she's blessed us with. Another good calf that I think dual purpose and has a high ceiling and just hope they land in good homes and we'd love to be back, you know, behind them the whole way and support whoever ends up with them.

A (56:55)

Yes, sir. Well, that wraps up the sale preview. We've done gone through all of the lots individually. Obviously, the sale can be found on SEO on March 8th. You can contact Mr. Bourne for any questions or I'm sure if you're able to contact any of the others, they'd be grateful to talk to you about anything else. Hopefully we answered majority of the questions. That's what the primary goal is for the preview. So with all this said, if there's anything that y' all would like to end the preview on in terms of extra comments or anything of that nature, please do so and we can wrap up.

B (57:24)

I just want to thank all the consigners for being on this. I know it's a. It's a challenge. As busy as we all are in the spring trying to get this cell put on. I want to thank Kendall and Katie for opening up the doors there for us when Covid happened and we had to move out of the tech arena. It's been a great, great place for us to be. We're just a few miles away from. From a couple of more sales, and I'm just excited about this bunch of cattle. I think the consigners have done a really, really good job of putting some together. And I think in my mind, personally, it's probably the best set as a set of. Of. Of cattle that we've put together since the change of. Of. Of the guard here with me and me taking over back when the shilling and shirts family gave me that opportunity. I think this. This is the best set as a whole that we've put together. Very, very thankful for all of. All of the guys. It's a family atmosphere, and that's. That's what we strive to do there at Kendall's. It's a family atmosphere. I hope everybody comes out and enjoys the weekend. We've always had good foot traffic, always had good online traffic there. With Clint being a part of this deal, he helps push the cattle some, and. And it's just been a really, really good deal. And I. And I'm glad, Weston, that you reached out to us and could get us on here, and that way we could push this deal a little bit further.

A (58:46)

Absolutely. Anything else from the other guys?

C (58:49)

I'll just echo Weston's comments really quick and just thank you for giving us the opportunity, Weston. This has been really fun to just spend time talking some cattle. I know that Austin really wanted to be on tonight, but had had some conflicts. And so if you have any questions about any of our lots or any of the lots in the sale, feel free to reach out to us. We'd love to, but love to visit with you and love to see you there in Idalou on. On the weekend.

A (59:14)

Absolutely. Anything else? With that said, that wraps up the preview for the sale happening on the 8th. The power of the plains. You can find it on sc. Once again, if y' all have any questions, y' all can reach out to anybody. I'm sure they'd be grateful to talk to y'. All. This is what it's all about. This is what I'm grateful to be able to do and represent people like this. Thank y' all for tuning in.
