A
Well, guys, I'm glad that y' all are listening because this is a real, real unique opportunity here. I've been fortunate enough to have a few conversations with Mr. Mike Marlow, the owner there for Premium Beef Genetics. And it led me to someone that's been real sought after here in the industry, especially for Angus and Red Angus, Mr. Kirk Duff. He is the owner and operator of Power plus cattle. And to be able to sit here and have the opportunity to represent people like these in the industry is a complete honor. So the fact that they trust me and my platform here to do a preview for their sale that's coming up here on February 7th there in Hobart, Oklahoma, I'm pretty excited about. So with that said, Mr. Duffy, if you'd like to introduce yourself, and then Marlo, you can as well, so the listeners can get to know y' all a little bit. And then after that, we're going to go through these selected lots and talk about them for sure.
- [00:50]
B
You bet, Weston. First of all, thanks for having us on here. Looking forward to going through this. Thanks for hosting this. My name is Kurt Duff. As you said, you're in Hobart, Oklahoma, Power plus Beef Genetics. Awesome.
- [01:04]
C
And yeah, this Mike Marlow. Thanks again, Weston, for having us tonight. Looking forward to talking with you about the bull sale and stuff and female sale coming up. I started the semen company called Premium Beef Genetics. And then I also help a few breeders in the sales management business and really enjoy it. I've had a lot of fun. It's been great to work with breeders like Kirk, and it's been a really enjoyable venture for me to get out and work with a lot of buyers and different people in the semen company and everything kind of goes hand in hand with what we do on the daily. So it's been great.
- [01:40]
A
Well, to start off, we're going to start with lot one. And y' all say on the deal, it's proven in terms of power and performance. It's RF lit up 357. He's a black Angus. And in terms of power and look, I think he's got just about of it. And his feet look absolutely massive in that picture. If y' all want to describe him and why y' all are so excited, really, truly, why'd y' all decide for him to be lot one? And we'll just go from there.
- [02:06]
B
You bet. Hey, listen, first of all, maybe an intro to where we how we came across that bull.
- [02:12]
A
Absolutely.
- [02:13]
B
Last year, Ryan Dorn, good friend of both mine and Mike's auctioneered a lot of sales. He sent me a text, called me, said he found a just an unbelievable young creature talking about this bull. He sent me a video and we talked about him. The video was incredible. The genetics behind this bull, Emerald, that need any introduction. I mean, he's old, I mean, ultra proven all around the globe. Just done an amazing job. Semen is impossible to get here in the States and very limited in. In Canada. Cow side, same way. So anyway, we decided to wade in on this bull. I don't even want to say what he cost. It was a lot of money and it's unusual for us to start a sale maybe ever. Marlo, we never started a sale with a bull we didn't raise.
- [03:01]
C
Yeah, yeah, it's the first time ever.
- [03:04]
B
But this bull is one of a kind. And when we say proven, we've got, you know, females and bulls, both sired by him, yearlings on the ground. And they're just unbelievable. The females are very feminine, a great look, plenty of drill, very sound, flexible. One of the most unique things about this bull I think Mike would agree with. I think one of the most unique things about this bull is how he carries himself. It's almost impossible for him to put his head down, but I mean, he just cramps it around and in his progeny are doing the same thing. So, yeah, that's kind of what I think about him.
- [03:43]
C
Yeah, I agree. And like you said about that Brooking Emerald, I mean, there's just, there's never been any semen come down here. So I mean, yeah, it's very unique to bring that because it's been really proven up in Canada. And it's kind of unique to bring them genetics. And we were hunting something different to add a twist of outcross genetics. And also, you know, he put some punch in him. I mean, he's long spined and got. Carries his weight and he's super sound and just puts a lot of things together that we were looking for.
- [04:12]
B
Yep. One other thing, you know, we're not really show oriented. I mean, we pride ourselves in the fact that we try to bring good looking cattle. The breeder of Emerald, Justin Morrison at Brookings in Canada. I mean, he doesn't need an introduction. Is there anybody in Canada more successful at breeding good Angus cattle in the show ring than, than Justin?
- [04:33]
C
Oh, no, he, he, he gets along. I mean, he does an incredible job and he, he knows how to get one right. He knows how to make one. I mean, he can breed them and make them right. He's, he does a fantastic Job.
- [04:45]
B
And what's even better than that, Justin's as good a man as you'll ever meet.
- [04:49]
C
Agreed.
- [04:50]
A
For sure. I'd like to tack on. I mean, not only are you offering something of this quality, but you're selling full possession on the bull and half American semen rights. I think that's pretty impressive as well for someone to have that opportunity.
- [05:02]
B
Yeah. And we'll touch on that. I'm glad you brought that up, Weston. The Canadian semen rights, Tanner Wallenbach owns it at W. Sunrise in Canada. So that, that's why we're not offering the Canadian semen rights. So there'll be actually what will be for sale is. Is American semen rights. And of course, maybe international outside of Canada.
- [05:24]
C
Right. Just absolutely incredible, Weston. I mean, we're just broke the barrier on that bull. But his first daughters that are yearlings now are just absolutely lights out.
- [05:34]
B
Good.
- [05:34]
C
They're just more kind of everywhere. You know, they got a lot of spine and wide bodied, huge middled, which we got a fair amount of them out of a honcho donor cow of Duffs. And I'll tell you, they're, they're, they're consistent. Very consistent.
- [05:51]
A
Right.
- [05:52]
C
Really good cab.
- [05:53]
A
Absolutely. Well, then in lot two, you got a calving specialist right here. And y' all call him Duff Harmony 3180. He's out at Hummels Argentine, which has been no secret to the Angus industry. And I'd love to talk about him. I mean, that looks like a huge body, big hit bull.
- [06:12]
B
Yeah. And more importantly, same along the same trend. This dude's proven we're having him right now at a virgin heifers. We have not touched a calf. Haven't pulled a single calf out of him. Coming small. Good luck to them. So when, you know, we say guaranteed cavities, I mean, it's what's happening. And you mentioned Argentine and that was a good introduction. But correct me if I'm wrong, Marlowe, but probably the secret to the spice here is that cow.
- [06:42]
C
Nine thousand, 309. Yeah.
- [06:44]
B
Probably not a better, a more feminine, fertile cow in the breed. There will not be a cow that's more fertile than this in the entire Angus breed. Just amazing.
- [06:54]
C
I agree. And she ranks in the top 1% for angle and claw, for foot quality and top 10% from a dollar in. I mean, she's, she does a lot, right. She's got a lot of performance, low birth, lots of maternal. I mean it's, it's. She's a, she's a big time Bull producer in our opinion. And females, I mean, she's just been lights out good across the board. Finding a Cavanese bull that does what Harmony does is just hard, you know, because you're. You want them to come out light and not, you know, give you problem, but also you want them to grow. And that's something that he's got. I mean, you can keep every female out of that bull if you choose. I mean, that's the beauty of it. You're not like they say, throwaways, you know, out of efforts. I mean, this bull will lay it down and I mean he's going to make some females that you can.
- [07:42]
B
That's awesome.
- [07:44]
A
Love to hear it. Well, then three through lot 11 are all going to be Reno sons. And y' all heavily utilized him. And that's obviously here you can see in the catalog. But you start not three off saying maternal yet efficiency. And not only is he out of that Reno bull, but I mean his build looks incredible just from his picture. And then, I mean his medic script looks really, really nice just in terms of Angus bulls. So if y' all want to go ahead and talk about 3 through 11, all these, we can sure do that.
- [08:15]
B
Yeah. So Reno, this, you know, this is the first SAR group of Renos that we've offered, so the first set of two year old bulls. And Mike, you chime in here, but I. You've been coming down here for, I.
- [08:29]
C
Don'T know, since 2007 or eight years.
- [08:33]
B
And I don't know that we've ever had a more consistent sire group. And that maternal inefficiency that we have here on three kind of tells the story on all of them. I mean they're. The females are really broody. Look, really got a lot of width between their eyes. You know, a wide skull, wide muzzle, super broody, super good udders. The bulls are look like bulls. They have some crest, they're easy flashing a good look to them. We're just super excited about Reno. I mean, his sire needs no introduction. I mean renovation is, I mean globally proven and a wide. And that semen is not readily available too much anymore either, is it, Mike?
- [09:16]
C
Now it's getting hard to come by. So like that lot three bull duff. I mean the reason that he's where he's at, I mean we, I mean he's just stout. I mean he's selected. Yeah. I mean he's nose to tail. I mean he's so huge topped his. I mean his top will hold water like durock hog.
- [09:33]
B
I Mean, that's awesome.
- [09:35]
C
He's stout. He's got a lot of muscle.
- [09:37]
B
He.
- [09:37]
C
I mean, he is. He wears the power plus brand. I mean, he. And he goes back to honcho on the bottom side, which has done a miraculous job for, you know, cavities. He was an outlier for cavities and muscle and just total efficiency. I mean, his daughters absolutely will get one to the finish line and keep their shape and yet super maternal along. I mean, so it's kind of a neat combination.
- [10:00]
B
Kind of a funny story. Weston on these renos, I don't know, three or four. Been probably four months ago. Three or four, maybe five. But anyway, Arlo and I talked, you know, often, daily, weekly, whatever you want to. I mean, more than weekly. Daily. This time of year. Multiple times a day. He gets tired of me calling, probably. But anyway, several weeks, several months ago, called him talking about the sell offer. He's watched them all the way since birth. I mean, he'd been down several times, but, you know, we trying to figure out sale order. And I tell him, I'm like, marlo, I'm lost four or five of these Reno sons. I don't know what to start with. I mean, anyway, he comes down, we motor through them, and we come up with that 2403 being the lead off Reno son. But I'm telling you, it's each four or five of them bulls offer something unique. They bring something unique to the table.
- [10:53]
A
Yes, sir, for sure.
- [10:55]
C
Lot four, he's kind of. Kind of in a league. I mean, he's in a league of his own for, like, just putting all the. Like that says right above him. He checks all the boxes. I mean, he's. These cavities is dams top 2% for $en as well. I mean, just so much maternal, but efficiency. And you won't find one with more body capacity fore rib and flank than hedge. I mean, he just puts it all together as well as any bull I've ever laid eyes on.
- [11:25]
A
I mean, y' all were talking about. These renos all have something that are unique about them. I'd have to say his length of neck and still how he ties in so strong behind his shoulder and still full behind his fore rib. And how he progresses back to a deep flank, I think that's really unique for a bull like him.
- [11:42]
C
He's impressive.
- [11:44]
B
Agreed. Yeah, probably those things are very impressive. West and his flexibility, which we hang our hat on. Flexion ability, we call, you know, efficiency, whatever you want to call it. But his flexion ability in all the years I've been doing it, I don't know that we've ever had one any easier. Flesh. I don't. I don't remember him. Maybe haunch. I'll give him a close run for his money. What do you think, Marlowe? But we've never had that with this much flesh, stability and girth. I don't.
- [12:10]
C
I haven't seen it. Yeah, I mean, they're. They definitely. I mean, they're consistently built like that.
- [12:17]
B
I mean, those, the rest of those bulls, we don't have to talk every one of them, but I mean, you can go down through their 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. All of those 11 Reno sons, each and every one of them bring quality to the table. So we're ultra proud or very pleased with that.
- [12:38]
C
Yeah, awesome.
- [12:40]
B
Awesome.
- [12:40]
A
Well, then to mention, I mean, briefly running through, I mean, that Lot 7's in the top 1% for his calving ease, direct and energy. I mean, lot nine, I mean, I don't think you could put a cooler looking one. I mean, his next set and carriage is really, really, really neat. Lot 10 looks like he's got an extra shot of power and shape. And that Lot 11's dame looks flat impressive. I mean, her picture just screams maternal in my mind in terms of how refined she is. And so I. I mean, those renos, I better just flat impressive in person. I'd be anxious to see those for sure.
- [13:14]
C
Yeah, that lot seven back, go back to him once. I mean, he's top 1% of the breed for Ced and, And Dollary. And so, I mean, these cavities, plus just so much efficiency, so much easy. Flushing had a 69 pound birth. You know, I mean, he'd be something unique that, that a guy could. I mean, you could, you could change the game on a set of heifers with a bull like that.
- [13:37]
A
Well, then in Lot 12, we need to point out that you got one that y' all call decked out, and he's got all the bells and whistles. And I mean, just from that, that front shot that y' all got of him, I mean, that is a stout skull and. And a really, really wide build.
- [13:51]
B
Yeah. And point out he's a maternal brother to Harmony, you know, a lot Tubal. Yeah, back to that 9309 cow. Just. And of course, we've talked about Reno the renovation Sons, man, we. We're very excited about the possibilities this bull brings to the table, which is kind of unique. But it follows this knows that we don't really hang Our hat or throw our hat in the ring on the EPDs. I think they're a great tool. It's just some of so many of our older cow famil their EPDs aren't quite as competitive as the newer age. Genetics puts us at a disadvantage. But this fool in particularly has got about as nicely balanced set of EPDs as you can put on a bull. Wouldn't you agree, Mike?
- [14:37]
C
Yeah. And that's due to, you know, 9309. You know, I mean, she, she'll lay it down. I don't like to talk figures all that much on cattle, but I can tell you his maternal sisters just sold for over 60,000 in at the National Western Stock show at that national Angus sale. And I mean, they did because two of them did two in a row right there. Boom, boom. And then a flush sold for 25,000. Which, I mean, that, that, I mean, that cow family is straight up legit. And them folks bought them because of the way they. They're built, their overall build. Maternal. And she'll flat lay it to them, you know, just phenotypically give John a.
- [15:13]
B
Plug to John Griswold owns possession of that cow now. 9,000, 309. And of course, John sold a lot of progeny out, out of her to date. But you can mark this down. You ain't seen nothing yet. That cow will. I mean, wait till he gets to adding her to the semi and the main deal. It'll be lots out.
- [15:32]
A
Oh, yeah, that's all. Well, then lot 13, y' all have that bull called Take It Easy. And in terms of numbers, I mean, that's really, really impressive for a bull to have that high of a calving ease but still be, you know, that maternal in terms of his body shape and his feet and legs to look like the way they do.
- [15:50]
B
Yeah, I think his name kind of says it all. Yeah, this, you know, almost start on the bottom side of this. Matt Tasted and Chuck. Chuck up at the Cumber Ranch in Nebraska. You won't find better people and you won't find better cow cattle breeders, Angus breeders. And I'm not talking about the United States. I'm talking about anywhere on the planet. You won't find more maternal cattle. So the, the maternal side of this bull is off the charts. Those guys do not waver from strong maternal cattle. And the top side speaks for itself too. Larry Coleman's done a great job. A little bit of our breeding in there as well. So we're excited about the possibilities of this bull.
- [16:32]
C
Yeah, he's easily one of our favorite, sure enough, heifer bulls.
- [16:35]
B
Right. Duff?
- [16:36]
C
I mean he just in the way he weighed, I mean, golly, weighed over 800 pounds at weaning and over a ton, you know, today.
- [16:44]
B
And like you said, well, it's, you know, it's pretty easy to get a low birth bull. But to bring a low birth bull with ample, with adequate growth or even off the charts growth like this bull plus maternal we need. Just don't find those on Arbor street corner. No.
- [17:03]
C
And he's double bred, Kevin. He's. I mean you got tribute right there. And bravo with honcho's dam. I mean it's all triple bread really. It's all kind of stacked up there. I mean it's proven and predictable for sure. For sure.
- [17:17]
A
Well then, moving on to the next couple lots, y' all pointed out to me that 16 and 17 were Mama's boy. And I'd like to know first off what Mama's boy has done for Yalls operation and what y' all think these two bulls can do for someone else when they get a hold of them.
- [17:35]
B
Well, Mama's boy started out a really good bull and still is a really good bu. But we attempted with what we always do last year we. Or was it about two years ago?
- [17:45]
C
Two years ago.
- [17:46]
B
Yeah, two years ago we sold him as a proven sire just like we, you know, we're doing up there with 1 and 2. So we used Mama's Boy and this will be the first set of two year old bulls out of Mama's Boy, by the way. But we used him and got the ball rolling. He's a bravo out of that Rosetta 903A just to introduce her. She's a full sister to Duff Angus011, which is, I don't know where he's at, Marlowe. He's either, I think he's third or fourth all time leading sire in South America.
- [18:17]
C
Last I checked, There was over 5000 registries in Argentina out of.
- [18:22]
A
Wow.
- [18:24]
B
So that bull's just ultra proven across the globe. The Angus daughters have been very prominent here in the States, but more so in South America. So much of that push down there. But this is a new era. We think the Mama's boy, you know, the Coleman back stack back on the Duff genetics we think will be a big hit maternally.
- [18:43]
C
Yeah. And they got some frame to them. I mean they got some stretch and sure enough built. Right.
- [18:49]
A
What I think is impressive is they're both different birth weights but their weaning weights are right There at the same. So there's consistency in that. I think that speaks a lot of volume.
- [18:57]
C
Oh, yeah, and they're. And they're over a ton. I mean, they are big, stout, long spined, power ground pounders for sure. For sure.
- [19:05]
A
Well, then, moving on to a bull that y' all call for real in Lot 19. That's a, that's a name that sounds like Mandy Fisher would name a bull. But with that said, I mean, his body shape and his length and extension and his size of his hip is just incredible.
- [19:21]
C
Oh, yeah, yeah, He's a giver low.
- [19:24]
B
Down on that cow side, you know.
- [19:25]
C
And I tell you, that Patsy, that Patsy cow dwt, purchased that cow from Rising Cattle company up Montana. And originally she come from Pine Coulee up there and Abzorkee. But I tell you, the cow is just so massive bodied, perfect uttered. And she's been an awesome donor. They lost her last year, but like, I don't know, it topped ZWT offspring out of her daughter's top the sale there two years in a row. And I mean that, that cow just does a lot of things right. You know, she puts a lot of rib shape, puts a lot of look in her offspring and lots of maternals. I mean, it, I mean it just classic pedigreed all the way through. It's just all proven. If you look at that thing top and bottom, you got, you know, the Patsy cow right there on the bottom side. Black Cat May one otta Merle. I mean, all the just excellent proven cow families are all stacked up in that bull. And I mean, that's why he. I mean, honestly, that's why he looks the way he is. I mean, he's got a big old crusty neck and lots of rib and just a really cool front one third and a lot of muscle.
- [20:33]
A
Yes, sir, for sure. Well then in lot 21, you got an equity son that's really, really cool looking. But something that opened my eyes quite a bit is his birth weight. I mean, that's just really impressive to me. And the fact that, you know, he's still up there in the higher seven hundreds in terms of weaning weight, I mean, I think that's really impressive.
- [20:53]
B
Yeah, I agreed. Wes, another thing to point out, you know, just extreme, they're really hot to the breed. Right now you look on the top side of that pedigree back in there, you see Coleman Donna714 two times and go down to the bottom side and see Marielle Erica 74A. There won't be 10 cows in the entire breed history that are going to be more proven and sought after than those two cows. And we've stacked them all right in there together. I mean, just, we're not even talking about renown Charlo. So, yeah, low birth, but maternals off the charts here. Plus, he's good looking.
- [21:33]
C
Yeah. Sucker had a 67 pound birth weight and still had a winning ratio at 104 and yearling at 113. So, I mean, Kevin is. Plus, I mean, he's hanging a lot of meat off of him. Right. I mean, that thing is he. He grew fast and. And you know, the only way you can put that much weight on that quick is have a lot of red meat on you. Pipe meat ain't gonna weigh like that for sure.
- [21:56]
A
Well, then lot 20, you got a bullet called carry away. And in my mind, that looks like a really moderate, easy flushing bull that's built incredible. So y' all want to talk about him? I mean, obviously, he correlates to that. Duff, for real, if you want to explain that to the audience, I bet that would definitely throw some interest.
- [22:14]
B
Yeah, I kind of say 24 speaks for herself. 19, 24, those bulls are. That's the prototype we built this brand on, isn't it, Mike? I mean, that absolutely level, hip, square. I mean, level top, square, hip, just real. I mean, look at the crest. A lot of people won't talk about crest on bulls, but not trying to brag about things, but go find crests like this in the industry, guys. Crest.
- [22:38]
C
Yeah.
- [22:39]
B
Tells you a lot about a bull. If your bull's not crusty like that, you might ought to be checking about getting another bull. That's where our fertility comes from. That's. That's how we produce females that'll go out and get it done and bulls that are alpha males that'll go out and get it done.
- [22:54]
C
Oh, yeah. And 001 right there at the bottom side is pedigree Duff. I mean, she kind of started the Power plus program years ago. You talk about power, man, that cow would.
- [23:03]
B
She wasn't 127k on the top. I mean, you got 8, 14, G, 927k, which are the two matriarchs, without a doubt, that built this herd.
- [23:13]
C
Oh, yeah, yeah, it's. It's impressive. But, yeah, like they say, a picture and video is a thousand words right there. And that bull, he'll get it done.
- [23:22]
A
Well, with that said, y' all have listed here, 29 through 37 are all out of red meat. And I guarantee you Just hearing y' all talk. If y' all got a bull named Red Meat, I would assume I know why. Because I bet he's pretty stout and his sons read the same way. So if y' all want to go through and talk to me about these bulls that are out of that siren, I'd love to hear what y' all have to say.
- [23:41]
B
What was it? Mike, at 22, I think it was, was Red Meat was our promo bull.
- [23:48]
C
Oh, he was the elite of the elite for red. I mean, for muscle.
- [23:52]
B
I mean, he was the first of his kind, maybe. I mean, we. We had not had a bull that stout to date, and he went to McCumbers in North Dakota. Matt Tasser, rancher we mentioned earlier, and I think done a great job. I know he's leased him to some South American since then. A lot of semen going. Semen going into South America. And the daughters and sons are just consistent, and they're doing just what his name says. They're moderate, funky, and a lot of red meat in them.
- [24:21]
C
Turn grass. They turn grass to pounds in a hurry. I mean, it's right there in his pedigree, Weston, too. I mean, he goes right back to the old foundation. True Muscle sire, that Rideau 707 on the dam side. I mean, you don't get much more proven than. Than that. And it just. I mean, you throw him, and then you throw Duff for real. I mean, he was kind of in a league of his own at the time as far as just pure muscle and soundness and awesome footed and just did a lot right for us.
- [24:50]
A
Absolutely. Yes, sir. Well, after getting done talking about Red Meat's progeny, I mean, lot 38 is a bull that y' all pointed out that's pretty different in this sale. I mean, he's out of humble South America, and his length of proportions, length of hip and the weight looks like he utilizes his hind leg out of his picture. I mean, that's pretty unique for a bull like that.
- [25:11]
B
Mike, you know more about the bottom side of that one than I do. What Jim's cattle and all. What you talk about.
- [25:17]
C
Oh, yeah, that. That ever held intense. I mean, you. I mean, it's an epitome of just maternal fertility and eye appeal. I mean, they just flat get it done every time, and it's pretty unique. Like the A40 cow on the bottom side of 38's pedigree. I mean, she is just a stellar female out of resource and just super easy flesh and gray to. Then you throw South America on top. I Mean that keys, I mean, his full brother to Argentine Palermo. All of, all of the. All of the outcross bulls that was brought from Argentina. I mean, he. There's just a ton of performance there and it's pretty unique. The way that he clicked on that, on that cow side, on the top side and the bottom. I mean, just made a really angular, beautiful, profiling, muscular bull right there for sure.
- [26:07]
A
Yes, sir. With that said, something y' all have pointed out to me is 39 through lot 42 are all going to be Stockpiles. What I'd like to know is why you utilize Stockpile so much and what y' all see the benefit in someone buying a bull out of him for use of their own operation or firm.
- [26:24]
B
I think Stockpile's name says a lot just to know the meaning behind it. We bought that bull second hand from a gentleman that bought it from Coleman and we changed the name to Stockpile. And the way we came up with that name, Mike and I talked about it, but man, he is just stockpiling that Donna cow family in the background, which absolutely built the Coleman brand. Not even arguable. That Donna Cowell family is ultra proven worldwide. So maternal traits that this bull brings to the table are off the charts. You won't second to none. And then the performance appeal, the quality is, you know, very adequate as well.
- [27:04]
C
Yeah, I agree. And you know, I think a lot of it to death is like we've always prided ourselves was with having really muscular, stout made cattle. But we always keep the length right. That means length ways. And in the angularity that Stockpile brought as an outgrowth sire, really hit the target, you know, what we were looking for and females and bulls.
- [27:27]
B
So this is the first set of. Go ahead.
- [27:29]
A
I'm sorry, something else that you're pointing out here is while I'm reading and hearing y' all talking is, you know, majority of the bulls are going to be in the top 10% of their of their respected pedigree. I mean, your lot 39 is in the top 10% for $en and $m. Your lot 40 is going to be in the top 5% for $m. I think that speaks volumes just especially for, you know, pairing these bulls to cows that need to be maybe fixed in that way or you want to increase or improve that for someone else's herd.
- [28:00]
C
Yeah, I don't know that we thought about it a whole lot right. In that time, Duff. But I know we've seen the angularity and the what he could offer and that all came Together with the cows that we mated him with. And I, I feel like it. It was definitely a really unique opportunity to be able to get that genetics stacked in there on a lot of them duff honcho daughters and whatnot. To add some angularity and stretch to their already just massive body and muscle and kind of just power for sure.
- [28:28]
B
One other thing to add, this is the first set of stockpile sons of course to sell. But his first daughters are just now cabbing as 2 year olds. And my goodness, I mean we just. Yeah, you just can't make a better Angus cow. Super wet, perfect uttered, angular, plenty of volume. Just couldn't be more excited about that. The maternal sims that these bulls were selling as far as the stock agree.
- [28:54]
C
For sure.
- [28:54]
A
For sure. Well, lot 43 through 45, y' all call them old school Bismarcks. But I'm just gonna say this. We've talked about a lot of bulls so far, but I think the coolest looking, most unique one from a picture standpoint in my opinion is that 43, I mean that is a really extended looking bull.
- [29:12]
C
Yeah, them things are. I mean Bismarck himself was an remarkable cavities and just an awesome female producer. And I mean that's where we feel like these, I mean they're, they're. There's two full brothers, you know, lot 45 and, and 44 and lots of maternal there. I mean these things, you can keep every heifer out of them. I mean they will be big time female producers. And I mean right there on the Chloe cow, I mean that's a full sib to triumph on the bottom side. And I mean the Coleman triumph and I tell you, the C815, there's just a lot of performance in them cattle and, and that. And you also got you know, a low birth and high dollar on all three of them bulls. So I think it's kind of unique to maybe go back old school and have. It's kind of. Actually today it's a total outcross to a lot of different cow families that a guy could use. So it kind of opens up some doors to go back and use some bulls like this to produce some really cool females.
- [30:10]
A
Absolutely.
- [30:11]
B
Yeah. Maybe one of the more you. And just like we've been saying old school Bismarck and he is just tried and true. But it's kind of unique because we took an old school sire and crossed him back on cutting edge females. I mean there's not a hotter, there's not a family in the Angus breed is hotter than the Chloe's. Right now. I Mean, just doing a super job. So kind of introduced the old school back on cutting edge. I think those will be looked at for sure.
- [30:39]
A
Yes, sir. Well then something that y' all pointed out to me and wanted to to highlight is lots 55 through 59, those will be your really reliance bulls. I mean you got 55. Where y' all label him? Double bread, low birth weight genetics are backed by his pedigree. I mean 56 is y' all say maternal efficiency and performance is what labels him and why y' all are describing him in that sale. I mean 57 looks like to be an ultra stout bull. That's big back. I mean all of them look awesome. But if y' all want to talk about that bull and why y' all chose to offer sons out of out of reliance, we can go from there.
- [31:14]
B
Yeah. So this, we bought this Reliance bull in to use on virgin heifers. Bravo, son. This is his first set. So every one of these bulls, these Reliant sons are out of virgin heifers. So they're out of, you know, raise out of first calf efforts. Yep. So I mean we pretty very excited about this. Our group, the low birth, you can see the performance is really solid across the board. The maternal on the Reliant side, I mean it's second to none. You got Juno in there. I mean Marlo can talk better to it than I can. But the Sinclair, the Bravo, the Charlotte, the 714, it's just tried and true and proven.
- [31:53]
C
The coolest part about them bulls, honestly Duff, is the dams. Look, I mean just study them things, man. I mean they all I56 goes is a maternal sister to Honcho out of Rainmaker 654X son. I mean then below that renovation out of the Great Beauty 333 from Justin Morrison. And then you know the 086 cow that we sold what last fall in the female sale. I mean she was awesome. I mean that there's cow families below these things that are just. I. I just think they're just super.
- [32:25]
B
Proven and go to the next page.
- [32:28]
C
Same way and go 26, 24.
- [32:31]
B
Yeah. I mean we don't have. There are. You know, having said they're two year old dam, but those are our latest and greatest nets. The dam will be finger. We don't have any any better. Yeah, I mean we don't feel like it.
- [32:42]
C
We feel like our 59 is dams the full sib to haunt you. Right?
- [32:47]
B
Yeah.
- [32:47]
C
I mean correct things. I mean it's. That's a royal set of bulls. I think that's got a unique pedigree that's blended with 7 14s for sure.
- [32:56]
A
Well, in another pair that y' all wanted me to highlight here on the platform is lot 65 and 66, both being out of Relic. I mean, both look to be the easiest fleshing kind that are extremely cool in their look. I mean, they're outcrossed in terms of their genetics from what it reads to be here on their catalog. But if you want to talk to me about what relics done for. For Yalls program and what y' all find value in these two bulls to offer, and we can go from there.
- [33:21]
B
Yeah. So one of the neat things we. It's kind of a repeated theme, but this is the first sire group from Relic. This is his first time to the table, and we couldn't be more proud. Relic got his name just because we old school, solid, tried and true. I mean, the first Troubadour sons we offered top the sale, the daughters are still fabulous. Well, this is what we consider to be one of Troubadour's best sons, maybe his best son.
- [33:46]
C
And he's a maternal brother. The real deal, right?
- [33:49]
B
Death, Correct. Yeah.
- [33:51]
C
The bull that pine, kelly, and thistle do purchase.
- [33:56]
B
And look at the bottom side, Mike, of these two bulls, 65 and 66. I mean, 1019 rose is to date, maybe my. And that's Justin Morrison's cow. She's deceased now. But maybe the. My favorite Angus female picture of all time. I don't know that there's one in it. But not just the pictures. She got it done. I mean. Yeah.
- [34:22]
C
9, 18. That ZWT on me. She was incredible. Yeah. I mean, it's a long line of just proven, proven cow families on both of them bulls.
- [34:32]
A
Well, it seems like that's become a common theme as we keep going through the catalog. You want to talk about, you know, these prolific dames once we get to, you know, 69 through. Through 77, in terms of their lot number. I mean, y'. All. Y' all use a bullet you call Argentine there that Hummel has. And I mean, that bull we've talked about before, he's no stranger to the game. But I'd like to know why y', all, you know, utilized him so heavy. What y' all see benefit out of using him, and why y' all have offered so many lots out of the.
- [35:02]
B
Bull out cross genetics. I mean, so Argentine's total outcrossed anything in the United States other than South America. And Palermo, his two full brother. So, you know, that. That in itself it's brand new gene pool brought over here so that will help a lot of our repeated customers that are looking for something new.
- [35:20]
C
Yeah. And they're low birth. Right. Duff and they got just such a cookie cutter consistent design, right?
- [35:27]
B
Yep.
- [35:30]
A
That lot 69 is extremely low on his birth weight. I think that's something that's pretty sought after for sure.
- [35:35]
C
Oh yeah. Across genetics with Cavanese and I mean he, he's done it two years in a row. He's done it two years in a row. He did it last year too. I mean they were just stellar heifer bulls then.
- [35:47]
A
You know, you were talking about these argentines. That lot 71 is in the top 1% for his claw and top 10% for his dry matter intake. I mean that's pretty neat. But I mean that bull's length and extension, rib shape and the size of his hip is pretty unique as well.
- [36:01]
B
Yeah, maybe. What's top 1% for good looks in an world?
- [36:05]
C
Yeah, he's got top 1% for phenotype for sure.
- [36:09]
A
For sure. Well then y' all have mentioned here, highlighted that lot 73 and I mean I can see that you know, on the, on the bottom side that he's pretty unique in terms of what he goes back to. I'd like for y' all to discuss that bull as well.
- [36:21]
B
Yeah, that cow family, go back to our family. Super proven bulls. Just this bull is a 68 pound birth, huge metal, super style. We don't have him pictured there but his video people can look him up. It's just in my opinion that one heck of a good heifer bull or it has the potential to be an incredible low birth female maker. Oh yeah.
- [36:46]
C
I mean that Iriskay cow family, I mean it is just unbelievable. And it's, it's. I mean she's the dam of Coleman Rock, you know, I mean just proven cavities. I mean that thing is just, it's worked for many, many, many years. And I mean the daughters are super maternal and cavities. So I mean it's, they're, they're really unique and their, their capability to be able to get one to the finish line efficiently.
- [37:12]
B
Yeah, we keep western a little bit of our breeding philosophy real quick. It's pretty simple. If it's not broke, don't fix it. We try to make them better but man, we keep, we stay with these old proven cow families that just haven't failed us. I mean we watch and we watch and we watch. We don't bring a bull in or a female in unless it's proven I've never flushed a virgin heifer, never flushed a two year old cow. I don't know that I've ever flushed a three year old. They're in their stripes here the old fashioned way.
- [37:42]
A
Yeah, that's right. Absolutely. Well now in terms of this list that we had prepared before the preview, we're going to move on to the Red Angus. And I don't really know if there's a way you could have started off better than lot 82. I mean he's a maternal brother to that duff territory that y' all also own here with trademark genetics. I mean he's out of the redwood bull. I mean in terms of his rib shape, his bone size and foot size, I mean that bull looks extremely awesome.
- [38:11]
B
Yeah, we agree Weston and you nailed it. The bottom side of this bull is a lot of where strength comes from. I mean maybe most of it, but a unique side. We said it just right above him. He's double bred 927k. I I would venture to say and I'm pretty sure I won't be proven wrong, there won't be a red hearted double bred 927k on the planet other than this bull right here. This bull has more let me or equal as as much Black Angus genetics as he does red. I mean he's half black, half red, but he's red. That's taken us 20 years to dilemma. We had this plan 20 years ago. Crossley's Black with red with our most prominent cow families and sires and it was a long term plan but it's coming to fruition and it's paying off.
- [39:06]
C
Yeah.
- [39:06]
A
Yes sir.
- [39:07]
C
I feel like he's got to be. If he's not, he's one of the very best Redwood sons that I've ever laid eyes on. I mean just the amount of extension and the front one third and his length of spine and just the way he moves and big scrotal. I mean he just, he puts it all together in a really cool package.
- [39:24]
B
And what's really neat about this bullet, here's another one that's proven. Wait till you get a load of the bull calf. It's on lot 231. I mean wow. There's some calves are going to sell in the sale out of this baby calves on the sides of cows. I mean this heaven sent. I mean and I was through pastures today and yesterday. Well, it's going to be hard to turn loose to have them since the calves are good.
- [39:47]
C
Yeah, absolutely.
- [39:50]
A
Well then in lot 83. I mean, y' all call this a power plus specialty. I mean, in terms of genetics, he's simply just an outcross compared to what y' all have the rest to offer. And I've been stalking Facebook. Sorry. Not sorry. But y' all promoted this bull quite a bit, and I can see a reason why for sure.
- [40:06]
B
Yeah, you bet. I just. I think his name says a lot there, too. We had the pleasure of naming this bull and come across this bull, what, three years ago or two or three. Three years ago? I can't remember three years. I think there's been a lot of conversations between Mike and myself over this bull and what we felt like he could do for our red program. As far as the outcross, not even our program, but for the world. And this bull's never been collected. We've kept him on the low down. Very few people ever seen him prior to this sale. I don't know if any. So he's. We've kept him under wrap for a reason. We knew if anybody ever saw him, we wouldn't get to own him all somebody and try to buy him.
- [40:46]
C
But he's unique.
- [40:47]
B
Proofs in the pudding. We'll talk about some of his sons here in a minute. But, yeah, the progeny he brings to the table speaks volumes.
- [40:55]
C
I mean, he was kind of a lot like lit the way we were thinking whenever you bought him. It's just to add some more. Just keep the length where we want it out, you know, out cross to every. Everything we got here. And he just puts such a cool front one third. I mean, you won't find a mature bull with a tidier, just smooth look from front to back. I mean, he just really puts it. Puts him in. Puts a unique look in all his offspring.
- [41:21]
B
And what's even, you know, unique to that? Mike's 100% right. That tidy look, what is so ultra, ultra rare is the power. This thing is second to none. You talk about a foot, a hip, a tone. They don't get stouter than this one. I mean, go find me one and I'll buy him. I don't care what he calls. Go find me a Red Bull stout or this, and call me.
- [41:44]
C
I do think there's a lot of potential behind this bull. Like Weston, like you were saying earlier and Duff was saying, I mean, you're selling full possession and half semen interest, which is, you know, wide open. And that bull going to sell a lot of semen, in my opinion. I mean, I've been in this business long enough to know that a, you know, an outcross bull that's proven like he is, I mean, there's a lot of. A lot of blue sky behind him.
- [42:07]
B
Well, they're never offered, are they, Mike? I mean, where can you go buy a proven bull that's never been offered? I mean, nobody sells them like this. And people ask us, why are you selling lit? Why are you selling Power Plus? Well, pretty standard answer. This thing doesn't run on air. We're in the, we're in the business. Sell good cattle. And the only way to have a good sales offered. The best you got.
- [42:28]
C
Sell the ones that hurt. Yeah, for sure.
- [42:31]
A
Well, then we're going to move on to Lot 84 through 89, and they're all suns out of duff territory. And I've been able to look at the bull in person myself, and he's here in Hempstead, Texas, covering some cows. And I mean, that bull in person is just as impressive as his promo pick is. And all of his sons definitely match his look, his build and his rib shape. I think that they all speak for themselves 100%.
- [42:56]
B
Yeah, we're just tickled pink with this. Our group, you know, you mentioned, Mandy, the Fisher family have been very supportive of our program and been great customers, great friends, good people. They don't get any better. Very competitive, very knowledgeable. They came in Mott territory, what, a couple of years ago, Mike. I guess it was three. I can't. Time gets away from me. Two or three years ago.
- [43:19]
C
Yeah.
- [43:19]
B
And selected him. He was our lead off red bull and we were really high on him. But it's. What really gratifying is that they, I mean, what we thought was going to come out of territory. Here it is. My goodness. If the pictures and the videos don't speak to you, then we can't help you.
- [43:37]
C
No, I just. Yeah, he just puts such an awesome look in an outcross package. He's just always been that way. I mean, Territory himself was just. He was just real proud. He held his head up high, big cresty neck, long spine, plenty of. Plenty of muscle. I mean, and he just. Yeah, he really stamped these bulls this year with consistency. And I mean, they are, like it says right there, unmatched style. And I mean, super efficient cattle. And it's kind of unique just to be able to see that. And there again it goes. I mean, right there on the bottom side of territory. Pedigree Def. I mean, 9, you know, 927K is right there. I mean, that it just.
- [44:17]
B
And the beauty cow, more proven cow in Canada than her. Probably not many.
- [44:23]
C
Yeah, absolutely. For sure.
- [44:25]
A
Marlo, you mentioned consistency a minute ago. I mean, all of these territories are extremely close in. In terms of their birth weight. The only thing that I can find an outlier in is Lot 84's weaning weight. I mean, it's a little higher than the rest of his contemporaries, but, I mean, they're all extremely consistent in terms of their look, shape, size, and. And their EPDs as well, for sure.
- [44:46]
C
Yeah. Well, we think there's some semen potential on selling some semen on some of these bulls, too, and I do feel like it's going to be something that'll add value in the Red Angus breed.
- [44:56]
A
Absolutely. For sure. Well, to move on from that, y' all asked me to discuss Lot 90 with Y', all, and y' all say on the. On the catalog here, power, growth, and style. And I think that fits him to a T. Y' all call him Duff comanche. His number's 24 191. He's out of the power plus sire. That is the second Red Angus bull to be offered here in the sale. And I think this is an extremely good way to describe what that bull can do. So if you're interested in either one, you have the bull himself, and then you have a son out of him as well, and he goes back to Duff's Lady Pop, both in terms of how he's bred with the sire that he's out of and the cow. I've heard of the cow multiple times, Lady Pop. I mean, his build, his size, his feature is extremely impressive to me.
- [45:43]
B
Thank you, Weston, and I'm glad you hit on that. I know Marlo will echo me, but Power plus is a unique individual, and we're super excited about him, the sire. But the unique thing about these two bulls is the bottom side bringing the power plus back on top of this. Honchos. Honcho's Dam, 1017, it. I think it's going to be lights out.
- [46:08]
A
Absolutely. For sure.
- [46:09]
C
1017 carries a lot of stroke, and there's a lot of progeny selling this year's sale. And, I mean, that goes back to her, and that. That was for a reason. I mean, they just work. I mean, she'll get. I mean, that. That cow, I mean, in her day, right, Duff. I mean, she was just thinking about her in the middle of the night. I mean, she was incredible and just very angular.
- [46:31]
B
Both of these bulls, to me, resemble their sire so much in their physical makeup, their top and kind. And then we're confident 1017 is going to bring them, but push the maternal through, the calf raiser through just really solid. We think there's a pair of bulls here that have a lot to offer.
- [46:48]
A
I mean, 91 is just as impressive. And that wasn't to take away from 90. But I mean, both being. Am I right? Black, red carriers. I mean, that's even more impressive.
- [46:57]
B
Correct, Correct. I mean, we feel like it's just, you know, brand new genetics to the Angus breed.
- [47:03]
C
Well, these are. These are category one red Angus, but they are out of black cows.
- [47:09]
B
Yep.
- [47:09]
A
I mean, that's pretty valued, especially for the industry in Times now what 91 is for sure.
- [47:14]
B
And cattle breeders here in the United States, I mean, the Power plus is sire. We didn't talk about respect. 42G, that's a Canadian bull. I mean, basically 90 and 91 are big. Going to be out cross genetics. 100% out cross genetics to all breeders in the lower 48. Not all, but most breeders in the lower 48. 99% of them for sure.
- [47:38]
A
Well, then y' all asked me to point out lots 112 and 113. And I'm just here to say, I mean, y' all call 112 full throttle. And y' all call 113 power plus. I mean, we just got done talking about yalls power plus bull that y' all have to offer in the suns. He's out of 113. Is out of him and so is 112. I mean, both we talk. We're just talking about black, red carriers. Both these bulls have that advantage. But you mentioned in the description, this is the golden ticket. I think both bulls have both equal value and I'd love for y' all to talk about them.
- [48:11]
B
Mike, go ahead and tell thoughts. You know how dear he is to me.
- [48:17]
C
Full throttle to me is like. I don't know. I mean, I feel like he's one of the elite bulls that we're selling in this year. So without a shadow of a doubt. I mean, you will not find one that's got any more power and just overall muscle that carries Oliver's top down his rear quarter than that bull right there. Huge middle. And when you watch him walk Weston, I mean, he just. He's just as smooth as you can make one. I mean, just to carry that much power, it honestly reminds me of Duff Fearless. I mean, he carries his power so fluently. Like this bull can cover a lot of big country. I mean, when you study him, I mean, goes back to The Too Hot 450B, which was, you know, a really potent donor that we, we used to own here at Fire Plus.
- [49:03]
B
And I mean, Christian Collins raised that one. Yeah. I mean, he was a lot out. Good.
- [49:07]
C
That bull to me is, is, is the golden ticket. I mean, if you want to, if you want to make good Angus, you can use him on Angus cows and, and if you want to make some incredible Ren Angus, I mean, that dude will flat lay it down, I feel like.
- [49:20]
B
Yeah. And another thing about him, you mentioned Fearless Marlo. I mean, another angle that he resembles Fearless to me is this bull back to like I said while ago, about lit up. I mean, this bull, if he's moving, his head's up. Oh yeah. He just proud. He's gentle. But I mean he just. The charisma, the character he has is pretty unique. Yeah.
- [49:44]
A
What I think is the most unique of both of them is the fact that they're versatile. I mean, you can use them on black cows, you can use them on red cows, and you're not going to find a disadvantage either way.
- [49:53]
B
No.
- [49:53]
C
And both of them weaned over 800 pounds and way over, way a ton. I mean, they're just. There's a lot of these. I mean, that's the key. I mean, this Angus and red Angus mix for commercial guys or anyone, you're just going to get free growth out of it. Weston. I mean these things are the hybrid vigors there, right?
- [50:14]
A
Absolutely.
- [50:15]
B
For sure.
- [50:16]
A
One thing I'd like to point out for sure is, is 116, I'm going through here and you know, lot 116, no fear is a maternal sibling to lot 116. I think that we need to point out and talk about no Fear, but also the maternal, the maternal side of lot 116. I don't, I don't see his picture, but I'm sure his videos available. But if, if he's related to that bull, I mean, I'm sure that bull's fairly impressive.
- [50:42]
B
He's very impressive. And we've never pictured 1977 either. Fearless is no fears. Damn, I suck. Fearless, no fears. Damn. But you talk about a tank. She's a red tank. If there ever was such a thing as a, you know. Well, she resembles this. We got aja back in there, 2620, which was a 001 daughter, some of the most prominent cattle and two breeds. Cow wise, this 1977 may be better than any of her predecessors. She's a tank. We'll get her pictures one of these days. She's just out in the Pasture, doing her job, bringing in good calves. That cow family legit.
- [51:24]
C
And then 116 is also, you know, a Georgina 201. You know, what them things have done here. I mean, they're just so consistent. So consistent.
- [51:33]
B
We're pretty excited and can't wait to see more of the known fears come about. But he's pictured there, of course, as a shoe in for 116. And we're very excited again that the Fisher family bought him and we expect great things from him.
- [51:50]
A
Absolutely. For sure. Well, then 119 through 123 are all duff fair wins. And you got an extremely cool looking red carrier. And 119 that is high tying, bold about his rib cage and big hipped and reads to have huge feet and legs. But I'd like for y' all to talk to me about the Fair Wind progeny, what you think of them and how you think they're going to help push along any other firm.
- [52:14]
B
So another just continued theme here. I mean, this is the first correct. I think I'm right here, Marlo. This first set of fair wins too. Well, I thought we had a. That's right, we did in the year one. But anyway, some of the first and we. As far as Fair Wind, I mean, phenotypically, he was pretty flawless. We lost that bull and got injured in a bull fight and had to put him down. The Fair Wind stuff won't be readily available in the. In the future, but 119 kind of epitomizes Fair Wind. Just long, fine level here, great front, great top, plenty of performance. A lot of maternal, thankfully.
- [52:56]
C
Right, yeah, no worries.
- [52:59]
A
27 through 130. And these are all out of Yalls Melbeck for one. I'd like y' all to introduce the Melbeck bull and talk to me about what you think of him and what his progeny have done. And then we can go through the bulls that are out of him. What you think they got to offer because they're all black red carriers, obviously. And I think that, I mean, we've talked about before. I mean, versatility and. And all three of them for sure.
- [53:20]
B
So the way we came about getting Mal back himself, the U2 dispersal in Canada. What was that mark three or four years ago when you.
- [53:28]
C
Oh, it's probably been five years.
- [53:30]
B
Five years ago, probably it has been maybe six. But anyway, they sold over a thousand cows that day, or maybe two days. It was two days worth of cows, day sale. And 207F was my pick of the bread heifers. I laid in there, got her bought. And Malbec Duff. Malbec, 20, 26. Happened to be the calf that was in her belly. And he basically paid for the whole trip. I bought half a dozen cows there that day. Spent a lot of money, but Malbec paved the way. And these bulls kind of speak for themselves. I mean, just bruisers, stout, ultra dense, a lot of red meat. Performance is off the charts. There's no way other to say it than that. Just incredible performance and return was second to none. And just good cattle. How would you. And I mean, you say Mike two.
- [54:20]
C
Years in a row, right? Duff, I mean, he really puts it together. There's so much muscle, I mean, bringing him and using him on the power plus cows. I mean, it just set the tone as far as just elite muscle mass and so much rib cage and still yet, like Duff said, a lot of. Lot of performance.
- [54:37]
B
The thing that you can just hang your hat on period with Malbec, bar none. Is there any semen left, Mike, on the. Very little. Very little. But the one thing you can count on, I don't care what you made him to. They're going to be as deep and wide as anything you have in the.
- [54:53]
C
Yeah. And super sound yet, too.
- [54:55]
A
Well, then to point out something else. I mean, 131 through 133 are all going to be out of Redwood, a bull that is extremely sought after in the Red Angus industry for sure. With that said, Arlo, you always keep saying length of spine, and I think that's a Perfect representation of 131is length of spine, length of proportions and lower quarter and stifle shape is extremely impressive to me. Lot 132 is outlier in terms of his birth weight of his contemporaries of the three. And I think 133. I mean, that dame Lady Pop, I keep looking at her picture. I mean, that was a big rib, big hip, female. So if y' all want to talk to me about the Redwood bulls, we can go from there.
- [55:37]
B
Mike, I'll let you go ahead.
- [55:39]
C
What's this being Murph? It's probably. I think it's the third year for Redwood, if I'm not mistaken.
- [55:46]
B
Ever been a three, maybe four.
- [55:48]
C
I remember when. I remember when Redwood was born, Weston Duff called me and he goes, I've got him. I've got one that's going to set the tone. I mean, we finally got one.
- [55:59]
B
He always knew this guy.
- [56:01]
A
No, it was him again.
- [56:05]
C
Redwood himself is just a massive beast. I mean, so much muscle power, just overall extension he just. He was really the first red eyed bull that really set the tone on the red side of things as far as just putting.
- [56:20]
B
Yeah.
- [56:20]
C
And he may be in a metal building or whatever shape, just overall power.
- [56:25]
A
There you are, Marlo. You might have to start over. We lost you.
- [56:27]
B
We lost you, Marlo. For a minute.
- [56:29]
C
Did I disappear again?
- [56:31]
A
Yes.
- [56:31]
B
Yeah, hold on.
- [56:32]
C
Something wrong with my Internet or what? Can you hear me now?
- [56:35]
A
I sure can. Yes, sir.
- [56:36]
C
Yeah, I was just saying Redwood himself, like. Like I was saying, Weston Duff called me whenever he was born and he was out of a black cow. And it was. There's two of the red carriers. You know, at that time we had two elite red carriers and one of them had redwood. And Duff called me and said, he's. He's red and he's. He's a game changer. And sure enough, it was. It was redwood. And he really did set the tone for what we were wanting with a red hide from the very beginning as far as just overall muscle mass. And he was built like our Black Angus with a red hide, basically. And we're super excited to have him. And that cow family, I mean, it's just been the Dixie Erica cow family. To be right there on the bottom side of his pedigree, too, just makes it that much sweeter for what he can add and what he's done for the program itself. It's just been a really unique bull to watch his progeny go out and can really do great things as far as just putting so much red meat in his cattle.
- [57:36]
A
Absolutely. For sure. Well, with that said, I'd like to move on to Lot 137 because he's out of the notorious Riz sire that y' all own with trademark genetics. But if you want to talk about on almost close, exact representation of what that bull looks like, I'd say 137 replicates him almost to a T. He is big time in terms of birth weight and his performance and his rib shape and his hip size, I think is extremely incredible. But if y' all want to talk about that bull and how he's backed by Riz, I'd love to hear the story and. And what y' all think.
- [58:10]
B
Yeah, I'm glad you brought that up, Weston, because I agree. I mean, the type and kind is. Does a few things consistently and this is how I'll set the table. You can count on a few things every time. One of them, they're low birth. Number two, they're going to be good looking. And number three, they're going to carry themselves. Well, that neck's going to tie into that shoulder. Well, they're going to carry themselves, you know, head up, long, level hit. But this bull kind of epitomizes what we're seeing out of. Out of Riz. Low birth, good looking, plenty of performance. And the maternal speaks for itself.
- [58:46]
C
And that length of spine is uncanny that. That Riz puts on him. I mean, he just puts so much length and stretch and like we've used him a lot on. In commercial heifer AI for a lot of different people. And man, he just works. They come out light and they grow like a thistle. I mean, they get after it and they got. And they weigh something because of the. The length of spine they got. So it's really unique for what that bull's doing. We're just barely cracking the seal on Riaz right now. And I feel like he's going to do a lot of good in years to come.
- [59:20]
A
Well, with that said, we're going to move on to. To Yalls Hereford selection of the catalog. Starting off with 140. You got a master plan over a Kelly 045. And I mean in. In terms of Hereford's. His marking for one is by far one of the coolest things that I've seen so far. And it's really neat the way all of his white ties into him. I mean, obviously he's out of master plane. And he was pretty unique in terms of his marking as a Hereford sire. But what do you all think of the bull and why are y' all offering him to the public?
- [59:54]
B
Yeah, we're very excited about this bull. I mean, the red to the ground, as much red meat as you can put one. And guys, it's hard to go out and find Hereford bulls that fit our mold. Meaning that five and a half frame, chunk full of meat, easy flushing. But man, this. This is kind of the first of his kind. You said it too west. And that Kelly cow family. I mean, anybody that follows the Hereford deal much, they're going to know that Kelly Cowell family for sure. But we're excited about this bull. Great way to lead off the Hereford section and just really performance is there, quality is there. We're really excited. The only way we got his sire bought at the top Hereford sale was that front white leg he's pictured there beside one. We never would have got that bull purchased this bull sire, had it not be that. But of course, this bull's right to the ground, marked right. Good pigment, good way to lead off for sale.
- [60:53]
C
Yeah, that video says it all on that bull too. I mean he. I mean that is him. I mean he's incredible. Incredible bull puts all together.
- [61:03]
A
Well then we'll move on to 141 and 142 and they're both out of the mandate 222. I mean, if, if we're going to talk about how they both inherited something out of the bull, I'd say length and extension of the neck out of the top side of pretty out there in terms of their pieces for sure. I mean they both offer an awesome rib shape and it within a huge hip. And they both read to be extremely flexible in terms of their angles. So talk to me about why y' all are offering them.
- [61:28]
B
Yeah, a couple other things that unique to them. They're both at a virgin. These are their first, their mother's first calves. So they're both out of two year old cows. And boy did they do a good job. Yeah. So we're just excited about what you said. The length of spine, the quality. I mean just the overall quality from length to spine here up top, the genetics backing them. Just good set of low birth Hereford bulls.
- [61:54]
A
Absolutely. For sure. Well then to move on from that, something that's pretty neat in terms of yalls entire offering is y' all are offering a purebred Simmental bull and lot 149. Y' all call them C4 rebel, Yale 402M. And for a red semi bull to have that much rib shape and that big of a hip and still offer that kind of flexibility on that kind of foot size and feature. Thanks. Really, really exceptional for the breed in itself. I mean, y' all ran and rave about how the bull has done this, this and this in his bio, but I mean, just look at him. And I think he's flat, impressive. I mean, Mr. Duffy, earlier you talked about crest of neck and how y' all built Yalls bull. Battery on top, you know, crescent neck and stoutness of school. I think that bull reads that into a T. Agreed.
- [62:45]
B
Mike, you're responsible for this bull being here. I'm gonna say something real quick and let Mike take over. Mike called me a couple years ago or however year and a half ago, he said, duff, I found a red, red semi bull you might or we might need down. And I'm gonna leave it right there. Go ahead, Mike.
- [63:03]
C
Yeah, yeah. This, I'll tell you, Weston, I mean he is unique as they come. I mean red, the red baldy semi deal right now anyway is just super hot. I mean across the country you'll see people starting sales with them everywhere. But I just. The uniqueness of this bull being, you know, out of a broker dam and she's a star below that, and then profit on top. Hammer. I mean, all the really proven cow families are right there stacked in that. On that bull. And, I mean, for him to come out red, too, was just. Just a. Just a really cool opportunity to get in on the ground floor of a really unique bull that has a lot to offer. I mean, there's so much muscle and body capacity and just overall rib shape. I mean, he does a lot of things right. I mean, people that seen his video have called Duff or I, and I'm just. They're just shocked that they just haven't seen one quite like him.
- [63:56]
B
And he.
- [63:57]
C
He's definitely in a league of his own for just overall mass and body and just easy to be around. I mean, you got to push him out of the way. I mean, he's super gentle, and we just think a lot of this bull. I mean, we don't have two or three semi bulls, but, I mean, he's definitely one that. That a guy could sell some semen on and have some fun with and. And do a lot of good. And the semantic breed that we. I feel like, anyway, for sure carry him through premium beef, you know, if the new owner decides. I mean, I feel like that bull's got a lot of upside down.
- [64:28]
A
Yeah, I mean, I think he read screams promo sire to a tee, but, I mean, we're talking about promo sire here, and I just mentioned it. We move on to Lot 152. Y' all call him walk the line. First I got to know Duff. Did you get in there and clip him? Because that's the first hair bull I think I've seen in the catalog.
- [64:47]
B
You know, if I clipped him, he'd have gouges all over him. Travis, he handled that for us.
- [64:54]
A
Well, he's out of the Napoleon bull, and I mean him all the way through Lot 154 or out in Napoleon. But, I mean, walk the line is extremely different in terms of yalls offering. I mean, one. I mean, obviously his hair coat and the way y' all clipped him. I mean, that bull is so unique about his front one third his rib shape and depth of flank all the way. In terms of his hip size and the way he utilizes his iron leg. I mean, that bull just reads incredible. I mean, I'd love to know, you know, why y' all are offering him what y' all see in his Future and everything of that nature.
- [65:27]
B
Yeah. Number number two, Weston. I mean just the proven genetics behind this bull. Yeah, it's pretty unique. John Griswold owned his sire, I'm sorry, his full brother, External Law. I think he sold semen in multiple breeds, you know, semi marine Angus. We felt Marlowe sold semen all over the jobs of it, gobs of it. So this bull's full brother is ultra proven. And I'm just going to, you know, state my opinion and my opinion only. Don't want to take anything away from External Law at all. He's an incredible sire. We love his daughters. But at this stage of the game, Western, there's more bull here, a better look, more performance. Without a doubt. If you want to talk numbers, EPDs, better number. We just feel like there's more opportunity with this young sire than even his older brother.
- [66:20]
A
Absolutely. For sure.
- [66:21]
B
Yeah.
- [66:22]
C
And then not like mention being a daughter of Ariel Erica, 74A Weston. I mean that. Yeah. I mean there won't be a more popular Angus cow and Angus breed right now than 74A. I mean she is absolutely laid it down. And the Napoleon cross, it just, it just works. I mean it's just an absolute dynamite mating and it's. I mean, walk the line. And all his brothers that's selling in the sale, I mean they're just peas in a pot. I mean they have got unique. Each one got a unique look and I mean, so angular and so such a cookie cutter design. I mean it'd just be an awesome. Any one of the three would be an awesome bull to turn out on registered cows to build a heck of a cow herd around.
- [67:06]
B
Absolutely. Yeah. Mike helped me out there. Is 74A. What would she. I know she's still in, you know, production. She's embryo transplant. She's 16.
- [67:17]
C
What is she? I think she's 12.
- [67:18]
B
Okay, here's where she is for sure. She is an egg producing machine.
- [67:24]
C
Oh yeah.
- [67:25]
B
12 years old and. And throws the embryos out. Oh, very.
- [67:29]
C
So much fertility and utter quality to die for.
- [67:32]
B
I mean it's. It can dribble a straw semen over the her top line and she'll get bread.
- [67:37]
C
Yeah, that's awesome. That's awesome. Walk the line. I mean he's definitely been one that's. I mean he's just a unique individual. I mean he's been one that's on our radar from day one. I mean he just kind of did everything plus more, you know, so it's pretty unique.
- [67:54]
B
We feel like we've got A outstanding set of all ets. You know, he leads the folly team from 152 all the way to 170. But yeah, yeah, he was the highest performing. He was a high performance performing, biggest, stoutest, best fall ET bull we had. That's saying quite a bit. This whole entire fall group are all ET bulls.
- [68:17]
A
Yeah, well, you mentioned the fall ETS. And obviously 155 through 170 are the rest or majority of the fall ETS. But I'd like to know what you're most excited about those offerings and what they entail and. And why you decided to do something like that. I mean, you got Reno's external laws, missions, renovation, heritage reckoning. Aaron 1:7. Oh, yeah. 171. 170 is a heritage as well. I mean, there's so much diversity between the Folly tees.
- [68:44]
B
Yeah. And you mentioned the sire group, for which are uncanny. Just the best we have to offer. But more importantly, we really hang our hat on the cow side. We believe. I mean, Mike agrees with me. We both have the same philosophy, but everybody can breed the same bulls. I mean, we all have that opportunity through, you know, purchasing semen. The one who wins the game is the one who has the best cows. And that's what I'd like to talk about on this set. Of all ETs we've already talked about 74, 8. I mean, probably one of top to bottom, higher revenue females in the entire breed. She sold for a half a million dollars when she was 10 years old. So, I mean, this cow's incredibly valuable. She's got it done every day of the week. 94, the dam of 155 through 158. She's paved her way here. Marlo, I mean, just. I agree. Gets it done every year. Bulls and females alike. Whatever you throw at her, she's going to bring the best she's got.
- [69:46]
C
Yeah.
- [69:47]
B
84H, same way. Next page. Those 84h is of water. Full sister to. Yeah, full sister to martial law. Correct, Mike?
- [69:58]
C
Yeah. Full sib to martial law. Maternal sib, external law and walk the lines.
- [70:03]
B
Yep. And she's. Same way. My. Actually, that's not. Griswold did own her, but I guess. Did he sell her? He sold her a few days ago.
- [70:10]
C
I think he sold half of her.
- [70:12]
B
Sold half of her. But ultra proven cow. We used to own part of her as well. And then coming to the G82, the Pine Coulee cow. Mine can talk a little. He's gonna have more knowledge on her than.
- [70:24]
C
Yeah.
- [70:24]
B
Than me.
- [70:25]
C
Yeah, that cow's done a miraculous job. She was. She was the highlight at pine coulee sale ladies, the Beartooth. Two years ago and I tell you. Or three years ago, I guess. But yeah, just a super capitalist 316, very maternal gray daughter, just really fertile female. So I mean, it's pretty unique to get that set of bulls. And I mean, the consistency there, you can see it. I mean, they. They're just really good cattle.
- [70:54]
B
And that theme just continues on west and with, you know, 165 through 171. Heck, 171. That's a maternal brother to red box. I mean, that's the last of the Mohicans. There won't be another one. We don't. We don't have another embryo out of a839 new red boxes dam. This is the last calf the leverage be sold or offered out of her as far as a bull. So this is the last Mohican. This the fall offering. People need to kind of do their homework and study them because there's some quality in that offering.
- [71:27]
A
Absolutely.
- [71:28]
C
For sure.
- [71:29]
A
Well, then we're going to move on to the cows. And we've talked about the. I'm not going to try to pronounce this wrong, but the JWanda, Joannada, maybe.
- [71:38]
B
One Ottawa, one Otta.
- [71:40]
A
Okay. I'm not good with Spanish, so. Excuse me. Lot 200 is out of Wanada and she's been brought up here before, especially being tied to territory. Now, I don't know exactly how so, but I'd like y' all to explain that as well as why y' all are offering a female of her quality and of her.
- [71:59]
B
Look, tell a story, Mark. How she relates to territory.
- [72:02]
C
Well, I mean, she's. I mean, it goes. I can't even.
- [72:07]
B
Well, I'll tell you right quick. The mother of territory and the mother. So many of them of 200. Yeah. Territory's mother was. Is. Is a full maternal sister to 200. They're both. Yeah. I'm getting tongue tied myself. Yeah. Is a maternal sister lot 200. They both are out of 35 cow, which is a daughter of 927 case cow. Family wise, we can't offer anything more proven or more valuable or more important than we feel. Like this 200 cow. No.
- [72:47]
C
And then like the old pure beef bull that started it, you know, kind of got us going back in the day. I mean, he'd be a full sib. Maternal sib. Yeah. I mean, it's just very unique. I mean, the 920 235. We lost her what, two years ago, Duff.
- [73:01]
B
I mean that's. Yeah, maybe more than that. Three or maybe three.
- [73:04]
C
But this will be. I mean there ain't. There's not really much left out of her.
- [73:07]
B
But that cow, I mean this is one that hurts to sell. I mean four year old out of 235.
- [73:13]
C
She's in her prime and got a lit up calf on her. Don't she Duff?
- [73:16]
B
Yeah, she does. I don't know. Yeah, there again he'll speak volumes. He'll speak for herself to whoever ends up with that barrel will have a valuable future, I think. Or profitable future.
- [73:30]
C
Oh yeah, she'll go right into embryo transfer. I mean she's. She is a stellar, stellar good one.
- [73:35]
A
Well then just go off of that. Now that we've talked about, you know, an Angus Black Angus, we move on to Lot 223 and 224. Both of them are flat awesome in terms of their look, their length of spine and hip size. But I mean 223s out of that red box and 224s out of yalls finale. I mean both just represent the quality kind. I'd like for y' all to discuss me while y' all are offering females like that for the red Angus firms.
- [74:02]
B
Yeah, it's not easy to do 223 as a cow. And 224 both of them, they're not ones we want to part with, but we want to lead this red section as was 200. That's not a cow we want to part with. We want to lead this cell off. Right. So 223, she's a red box. You know, back to the cedar family. Anybody in the red breed, they don't need an introduction to know what that is with it. She's got a Power plus heifer calf on her side that is absolutely awesome. I can almost practically guarantee that T23 whoever buys that lots buying two donors in one.
- [74:41]
A
Well to point out something else is she's a full brother to Duff. Fair wind. But as of 10 days ago she got a heifer calf that side by out of Yalls PI Power plus. And we've already talked about how awesome that bull is. But I think that's something that we need to talk about too.
- [74:57]
B
Yeah, for sure. This, it's an incredible opportunity for whoever is lucky enough to to get that female. Good looking female. A calf raiser production record speaks for itself. The genetics speak for itself. Just a fantastic cow.
- [75:13]
C
Cedar's done a nice Job, right, Duff? I mean, Airwind and HD are both. I mean, cedar's in the same spot in both their pedigrees, you know, And I mean, it's.
- [75:23]
B
I mean, yeah. I mean, this speaks for itself. And then this 224 cow, look at the top side 927 car again, which is 235 down. And then again, you got cedar back in there. You got Lady X. I mean, go. That's as royal in our eyes. Let me rephrase that. In our eyes and my eyes, that's as royal a red Angus pedigree as you can make.
- [75:47]
C
Two really good cow families together.
- [75:49]
B
So we there again, she's got a really good heifer calf at her side as well. Started by Big Gun.
- [75:57]
C
Yeah. Her dam 224's dam sold to Baxter Blair. And he's done a world of good with that cow up in Canada. Right, Duff?
- [76:05]
B
I mean, for sure.
- [76:06]
C
I mean, she is a stellar producer for Baxter, and she's done an awesome job here at Power plus as well.
- [76:13]
B
Yeah. I think. What? I don't know. Baxter bought her two years ago and probably literally paid for the cow three times.
- [76:20]
C
Yeah.
- [76:21]
B
Progeny and embryos in two years.
- [76:24]
A
Well, then we can move along to lots 231 and 232. But obviously, these are both two proven females. I mean, that 231 has a son that y' all have sold. That Duff potency. I mean, that bull's phenomenal as well. I mean, as well as 232. I mean, she's got that 23, 205 son. That is phenomenal. I mean, I'd love to talk about them and. And why y' all are offering them to the public, for sure. I mean, 231's out of red box, and so is 232. They're both out of the same sire, and they both carry the same kind of length of an extension, length of spine, rib shape, and hip size, for sure.
- [77:03]
B
Marlo could probably tell the best story here on this one. He'll. He'll know this for a fact. But I didn't want to turn loose at 231. He had to talk me into it.
- [77:12]
C
No, no, she was.
- [77:13]
B
She was.
- [77:14]
C
She probably might not have made the sale, but, yeah, she. She was just a little bit. I mean, she was going to calve later than what we thought, and she ended up making the sale. She was. Because she ended up Kevin there in December. And I tell you, that cow phenotypically, and for what she's done. I mean every year for us, for Duff and I. I mean she has put one in the bull sale that's been stellar every year.
- [77:40]
B
I mean she's had one of the top three bulls in the cell every year and gonna have a Fisher. Marlowe already talked about full throttle.
- [77:48]
A
Yeah. Stating that she's had, you know, a top bull in every sale. I mean she sells with the red Angus herd bull by her side that y' all call heaven sent, you know.
- [77:56]
B
Yeah.
- [77:57]
A
I think that's pretty.
- [77:58]
C
Well if anybody pretty early.
- [78:02]
B
But I'll say this and I'll be fairly close to right. He may be the best one yet. This thing is cool. Wait till you topped as proud as you can make one just put together. I mean just a good looking dude. This little calf at her side is worth. I mean he has the potential to be as valuable as what she's going to bring.
- [78:23]
A
Absolutely. For sure. Well then the 233duff impress. I mean she's bred to on Q which she's doing March. Why did y' all decide to breed her to on Q?
- [78:33]
B
I just thought it would compliment. We've, you know, on cue is a red blood son and we've done very well mate. And in fact was a goal years ago, wasn't it Mike, that we were cr. We just wanted to cross the red box back on the red blood. We knew if we got to that stage those two bulls were out crosses. Well, lo and behold we got to that stage. Both, you know, got daughters in production. But the cross and the red box back on the red blood just works every time. I mean you're going to end up with quality and maternal performance, eye appeal. It's just we knew it would be a consistent mating or it has been a consistent mating.
- [79:11]
A
Well then we're talking about all these females. But 233 is next. And she's a black red carrier as well. And her maternal brother is that red. Look. And I've seen one picture of him and all I can say is his best description is power. And I mean she fits that to a T in terms of the size of her rib cage and the set to her pins and how big that hip is. I mean I think you know, she's out of the pure beef bull. Which I'd like for y' all to discuss how that bull's made his case there at Yalls Place as well.
- [79:39]
B
Yeah. So Mike stated that while ago, pure beef is a full brother. A flush brother to 235 which is territories grand dam and lot 200 dam. So the cow family there on that pure beef deal is ultra proven. Pure beef back in the day, as Marlowe said was a big hit force made a lot of good females. But one thing I want to point out about 233 would sure challenge everybody to look that video up on her. She's a really good looking cow. Just feminine, powerful, beautiful udder. But look at the bull calf at her side. If that's not a herned bull, we don't have one to offer you. She's got a baby red bull calf. It's side by Heaven sent lot 82. I mean he is a scorpion. I'm challenged everybody to really go find that video and study that bull calf.
- [80:29]
A
Absolutely. One more that we're going to bring up is two, three.
- [80:33]
B
One more thing right quick. Weston. Sorry to interrupt, but before we move on 234, we hadn't, you know, didn't bring her up. I want to say that she has a red, a dark red Heaven sent bull calf at her side. That is incredible as well. Folks, study the Heaven sent bull calves. I mean they are not just bulls, but heifers alike. This is the first group of them. And you're gonna like what you see.
- [80:59]
A
Absolutely. For sure.
- [81:01]
C
He's doing y'.
- [81:02]
B
All.
- [81:02]
A
Y' all are talking about Heaven Sent quite a bit of the four lots that we've previously discussed. But I mean in terms of that sire, I mean it sounds like he's putting out calves left and right that are extremely high quality. And that 234 is a red box. And it sounds like for what y' all said, I mean, she's got an awesome prospect bull calf on her side.
- [81:25]
B
Really good.
- [81:26]
A
That'll sell with her.
- [81:27]
B
Exactly right. The Ray Charles can find the two bull calves on 233 and 234.
- [81:33]
C
Well, I promise you, they are stellar.
- [81:36]
B
Yeah, if you got eyeballs, you'll find them.
- [81:38]
A
Well then with that said, y' all gotta. Y' all got a neat opportunity here starting in A through B and it's selling choice of heifers. So explain to me how this works. I would assume that the highest bidder gets choice pick of whichever heifer. But I'd like to know what your thoughts are on either one and explain how that situation works for anybody that does bid on the situation.
- [82:02]
B
Go ahead and talk the heifers a little bit. I'll talk about the situation 238A and.
- [82:06]
C
B. I mean actually Adler took them to Denver to show in that pin of three. Weston pin of three heifers and one reserve overall in the Angus division on that pin of three heifers. And I tell you, these heifers are phenotypically. They are flat. Flat good. They're 9309 daughters. Like I said earlier, the maternal siblings to these heifers brought over $60,000 in the national western Angus sale. Tons of maternal in these heifers. Incredible $M's lots of performance. I can't say enough about these heifers. I mean, they are. They put it together about as well as any thing that we're selling as far as just angularity and look and just overall value. We think there's. They're both donor quality.
- [82:54]
B
Yeah. And having, you know, to just kind of key in on what Mike said. Weston, two of them, two SIs. Two 9,309 daughters sold. We offered two in Denver, and I don't want to take anything away from the two we sold in Denver because they were ultra good. But we felt like we were retaining the two better heifers for our sale here in Hobart, Oklahoma. That's our opinion. Not taking anything away from the two that sold in Denver for 62 and 60. But we felt like these. These two were superior. We wanted to bring the superior females back to Hobart to offer them here. That's a. This. Our opinion may not be a fact, but that's what we believe in our hearts. As far as the offering, we're going to offer choice. So we'll. The winning bidder will get choice of 238A or 238B. Their choice. Awesome.
- [83:45]
A
Well, sounds like they'll. Whoever's bidding is going to have a bit of fun. But moving on with that, you got 239. And we've mentioned lady pop here in previous. Previous previews of bulls that are out of her, females that are out of her. But I think this is a great representation of what she can do on the female side. I mean, in terms of refinement and femininity. She fits it to a T and draws back to a really nice maternal silhouette from profile, for sure.
- [84:12]
B
Yeah. And, Weston, this is a full sib. And correct me if I'm wrong, Mike, but I don't think we've ever offered one. I don't know that we own maybe one or two, but this is a full sib. The red meat never offered one. And this is the best one we had. This. This heifer is a spitting image of her brother. Red meat, just perfect design. Chuck, full of red meat is easy flesh as you're going to get her utter quality, you can tell the structure of the teat. Her quarters just going to be superb. We feel like this cow's got a bright future as a. As a potential donor. I'll be shocked if she doesn't like donor pen.
- [84:51]
C
It's very hard to find, you know, one that's that efficient. Ranking in the top 1% for dollary, but yet still in the top 3% quality for foot quality and claw, and then top 4% for $M. I mean, it's hard to find that much just efficiency with that much maternal stacked in a female that's so massive in her rib shape and just the way she moves. Whenever people see the video of this female, I mean, wind was blowing 40 mile an hour that day and straw was blowing everywhere. And you can just see that half so much good in her. I mean, she is just not typical of today's Angus. I mean, she is an absolute standout in her type and kind, for sure.
- [85:36]
A
Well, with that said, we'll move on to 240. That's one that y' all wanted to highlight here on the platform. I mean, we've talked about reliance before and how he sired multiple of the bull prospects that y' all got up to offer. But this is one of the first females that I see that y' all have to offer that's out of the bull. But I mean, in terms of. Of of what she needs to be labeled as, I'd say brood cow intangibles is what best describes her.
- [85:58]
B
I agree. And look at the low birth. I mean, 17 CD negative, 3.6 birth and just. And you nailed it, Weston. This is a brood cow deluxe. I mean, if people don't like this. And as far as efficient, beefy, just brood young, broody female. And I don't know what to say. She just as good as we could do. And another thing I want to touch on is what these two females are bred to Duff machine. You know, when I buy a bread heifer across the country and spend a decent amount of money, my number one worry is always, are they going to be able to have the calf? I mean, I hate to kill a $15,000 heifer herder hunter trying to get a calf out of her folks. This machine deal is automatic. He'll spit them out, and you're going to end up a really solid, very efficient calf bull ref.
- [86:50]
A
Yes, sir. Absolutely. Well, then to move on from that, we got lot 246. And I mean, we've talked about the stockpile bull before. He's had multiple sire prospects in Yalls grouping here. But why do y' all want to talk about 246? What do y' all want to highlight about her and how is she going to bring value to anybody that decides to get a hold of her?
- [87:11]
B
Two ways. She's the first of her kind. We've not offered a stockpile female. So this, you know, we told you this is the first set of sire group of the two year old bulls. Well, this is the first stockpile that we're going to offer just as 240 was the first reliant that we ever offered. So we're, you know, it's the first of our kind, the maternal side on the stockpile we spoke about. But I want to talk about the cow side, the 1925 cow she sells as lots of what, 202 or something like that. Marlo, I don't remember. But 1925 is a machinist daughter. Anybody that's kind of a student of the OCC deal goes back to focus. This was a bull that John bought, John Griswold bought from older years ago and that they got it done as far as maternal side. So we feel like 246 is just old school cow family with cutting edge on the top side. We feel like there's a lot to offer up there. Again, she's bred the machine ought to be a, you know, just a nice Kevin ease bull the mater with. So we feel like it'll be a good opportunity for somebody to want to get on the ground floor of a potential young, high quality donor for sure.
- [88:23]
A
Absolutely. Well, with that said, the next three lots that we're about to talk about are arguably one of the more unique ones. I mean 254 is out of fair wind and y' all call her Dixie erica. And then 255 is out of on cue, which you've talked about here prior. And y' all call her lady 2426 2. And then 256 you'll call too hot and she's out of the notorious territory. So with that said, I'd love for y' all to describe all y' all are offering females like this and what you think they'll do for firms that end up with them.
- [88:54]
B
Mike, you sent me a text on 254's video. Why don't you tell people your thoughts?
- [89:00]
C
254 has caught more attention from people online just studying her video. But I mean she backs it up in person. I mean she is Just so angular. Weston, she's just got a long spine. Beautiful throughout her rib shape. Awesome front one third. Just like her sire Fairwind. I mean he's notorious for producing offspring that look like her and I mean she represents him well. And I mean there again going back to red blood right there on the bottom side, you know, the red box and 210 below that. So I mean, yeah, it's, it didn't happen by, by accident. If you study your dam right there.
- [89:36]
B
She.
- [89:36]
C
I mean Sadler would have purchased her out of the holiday highlights sale. 50,000 and she's done nothing. But everything she touches kind of turns the golden roundabout way. Not to mention she sells as an amazing producer. Very, very good producer.
- [89:52]
A
And due in March to Riz. I think that's awesome too.
- [89:55]
C
Oh yeah.
- [89:57]
B
Wes remembers talking about the red box blood cross. Look at that pedigree.
- [90:03]
A
Yep, yep.
- [90:04]
B
It kind of brings to fruition what we were trying to explain earlier. But that's almost an automatic cross. You cross that red box blood and now what you just mentioned, we're gonna throw Riz on top of that, the hd. I mean that, that could literally, literally be a stellar opportunity right there.
- [90:23]
A
Lower something else. I mean, on the bottom side, the cow is out of red blood, which goes back to Rojas Rioja. I mean that's pretty impress.
- [90:33]
B
Yep. And what's more, back to what I said about machine. It's so important to me on selling these bread heifers that we have a mated correctly. When I say mated correctly, the worst thing you can do to a young potential donor is cut a zipper on her side. Because you made her wrong.
- [90:49]
C
Yeah.
- [90:50]
B
The ridge calf's going to be small. She's going to have it. Unless there's a complication of some kind. I mean, she's going to have that calf naturally, Lord willing. So that's something that excites us as well.
- [91:01]
C
Same way with Duff pronto. Another proven Kevin Ease red blood son.
- [91:05]
B
Right? I mean, absolutely. Used him on hundreds of females and they just have them. And then going into that, that 255, the on cue people are going to like that. I mean look at the pedigree. We got a red blood doubled up. Lady 2X. Lady 2X is a cow that we haven't talked about enough. But we found that cow in Canada 10 or 15 years ago. And I, Wes and I was bebopping through a pasture and in Canada and I come across 2x and I saw her from about 50 yards and I started squeezing the backseat of that pickup, said drive over there to that cow, there's an older gentleman, Dennis B. Ellen. He didn't want to sell her, but he was older gentleman. He didn't want to sell her out individually, but he had about 40 cows. I bought the whole herd out just to get that cow. Unbelievable cow family.
- [92:04]
A
Awesome. Well, with that said, I mean let me clarify something as well. Duff Pronto is out of red blood, correct?
- [92:10]
B
Correct.
- [92:11]
A
So that calf that's due in March will be a double double bread red blood. I think that's pretty unique.
- [92:16]
B
Double blood, double bread, red blood, double bred lady 2x. Yeah. I mean and we didn't even talk about Napoleon in there.
- [92:25]
A
Yeah, for sure. Absolutely. 255 is in the top 3% for our dry matter intake. Top 2% for stability. I mean I think in terms of her pedigree and genetic script, flat impressive. With that said, we can move with lot 256. Y' all call her too hot. She's out of Duff territory. I mean in terms of stoutness of features and the way her lower quarter and stifle shape, how big and massive that is. I mean she inherits that directly out of territory.
- [92:53]
B
Yeah, she's a man. She replicates her looks just like her siblings Riptide and you know, to a lot 84, 85. Those, those lead off territory sons. I mean this is a female version of them. We couldn't be more pleased. Just loaded with red meat and efficiency and dripping with, with quality bred back to Pronto. There, I mean there again this is the first territory female to be offered and we feel like we brought a good one to the table.
- [93:25]
C
Yeah. And then with that one out of 927k top side and bottom side, then you got got honcho from B. I mean it, it's just, it's, it's royal.
- [93:34]
B
Yeah. Correct. Weston. Not that matters too much, but that Too Hot 4 Be. I told you. We bought her from Christy Collins as an open here for calf. She had her entered for Denver. I don't remember what year that was. Several eight or ten years ago, maybe more than that. But she was, she was calf champion, division champion at Denver that year.
- [93:55]
A
That's awesome. Well, with that said, we're going to move on to Lot 264. And yalls first sentence in her bio is what a way to start the red carrier bread heifers. And I mean obviously she's a crossroads and I don't know the bottom side. So one of y' all was gonna have to explain that, but she is black. But I'M sure if you breed her to a Red Bull, they're gonna come out red. And then with that said, I mean, she's red Riz, due in March. I mean, y', all, she looks like her front shot looks awesome.
- [94:25]
B
To explain her to you, She's a maternal sister to red box.
- [94:29]
A
Oh, there you go. Even better.
- [94:30]
B
I had red boxes mothering out of Firestorm. That 701K was she last year, Mike? We sold her 701K. But we sold her. Yeah, sold her last year to our good friend. Yeah. So in 12 months time, he's paid for the cow about one and a half times. Yeah.
- [94:56]
A
Yeah.
- [94:57]
C
So big barrel, good looking.
- [94:59]
B
And anyway, we think a lot of this red carrier. I mean, just absolutely a tank, huge middle, big hip. We think got a lot of future ahead of her.
- [95:09]
A
Absolutely. With that said, 66 and 267 are two heifers that had caught my attention. They're both out of Riz. Both heifers. I mean, talk to me about what y' all think of them. They're both. One of them, 266 is bred to duff pronto doing March. The other one's bred to red blood. And she's also doing in March. I mean, what do those two look like? What'd you expect when those come out and what you think firms will gain once they get them bought?
- [95:35]
B
Just both of them are out of.
- [95:36]
C
Heifers too, right, Doug?
- [95:37]
B
Correct. Yeah, just a lot like we've been talking about. We didn't list the birth weight on these heifers, but both of these were out of heifers. Going to be low birth. Super look. I mean, we got a picture of 266 there. You can tell this got that Riz design to. It's what I'm going to call just a neat snappy look. T7 is the same way. So genetically, you know, typically I feel like 266. 267 bring a lot to the table.
- [96:03]
A
Absolutely.
- [96:03]
C
266 being a honcho out of red boxes. Dam too. So I mean it's. That's going to bring. That's going to bring some. A lot of value there.
- [96:13]
B
Right back to a red blood.
- [96:16]
A
Absolutely. Well, with that said, y' all told me we got to talk about the commercials. So run through with me how this works, what y' all are offering, all the different groups, what they've been worked to and we'll go from there.
- [96:31]
B
Yeah. So we're going to lead off commercial. We're excited about this. By the Way, this is something we've been wanting to bring to the table for a while, but don't know how to say it other than just the truth. Most of the guys that come here and buy our bulls want to keep their own heifers. They don't offer them for sale, but Darrell decided to offer some of his. Darrell's been buying bulls from me for 20 plus years. Not a better man in this community lives here in Hobart, Oklahoma. And you can see this hire groups. He's got a group of carried away daughters, a group of honchos, a group of four eels, and a group of ranch hands. Of course, he bought all those bulls for me. Most the females these heifers are out of would be out of bulls he bought from me. So Darrell's been a really good cattleman, a very good customer and a very good person. And guys, I challenge you to find a better set of commercial breads anywhere in the country. He's got a bread right there. Again, we've had, I mean, night watch is. I mean, he's automatic. The disciple son that Darrell's got him cleaned up with, he's used for four years. He's automatic. So we feel comfortable about the cavities as well. Anything you want to add to those heifers, Margo?
- [97:44]
C
I was just gonna say like Duff said Weston, phenotypically, I would run them heifers against any registered breeders. Pheno, phenotypically, like those heifers are absolutely consistent from their type to kind across the board. You've seen one, you've seen them all type of heifers. So, I mean, they're built really good. Yeah, lots of maternal look to him. Beautiful front one thirds and just super design, super broody.
- [98:12]
B
And then the next group comes from the Knoll family. We've got, you know, I don't even know the number Jacks. I think that might be a misprint on the 28 commercial. Well, there's 38 total, 28 breads and maybe 10 pairs they're going to offer. Same way. Great family here in town. You know, fourth, fifth generation farm and ranch family, good family, friends. Our fathers were friends. My grandfathers were friends with their grandfather. Good family, good cattle, Red box daughters, external law daughters. And they had a few outside sire bulls. They bought a couple other places. But quality, quality bread heifers and pears. In fact, one of these calves today, I know there'll be several more that won't make it to sale. They called today and actually Drew helped them get one into, you know, out of the weather. She had it on her own, no problem, but got it into a shed. Heifer had it. And there'll be more to come from those. The last group, the local group, older gentleman from corn, just a. Same way. Great, great gentleman. Glad to have his cattle in here. We buy steers after several years. His feeder steers are always among the. The top that we deal with. He buys a lot of semen for my bulls of art. Yeah. Might not be able to tell you what bulls he's been a to. I can't remember. But he always.
- [99:36]
C
Yeah, he's done a nice job. I mean, that he lied, I believe. Yeah. Yeah, he light. Sure enough, a few other bulls.
- [99:43]
B
But anyway, we're excited about the commercial offering. We feel like it's a good representation of our genetics. We have a lot of people call every year looking for open or bred commercial females. And they call me. They call Mike. What do you tell them usually, Mike? I mean, they're hard to get.
- [99:59]
C
They're hard. Yeah, they're hard to find, especially with the quality. Right. I mean, it's just hard to find them. People that get them that. That use a lot of our bulls, they're. They keep them. I mean, they just keep them. That's the way it works.
- [100:11]
B
Weston.
- [100:12]
A
Absolutely.
- [100:13]
B
So we're excited about this offering and anyway, appreciate you leading us through this thing. Hope listeners get something out of it. If they need anything, just have them give us a shout. Weston. Either one of us.
- [100:27]
C
It's by far and away the biggest sale that we've ever had by a long shot. I mean, with 171 bulls deaf. I mean, we're.
- [100:35]
A
This is.
- [100:36]
C
I mean, we're excited, to say the least. I mean, to have this many bulls to offer this year with the 78 females and the 50 plus commercial heifers. I mean, it's an exciting year for us.
- [100:46]
B
It is, and we're. I'm extremely grateful. I know Mike is as well, but the interest has been just the best we've. I've ever had. We get good, solid calls and inquiries every day, half for a few weeks. I think we've had. I don't know how many extra catalog Grace has mailed out. Marlo, she told me she's down to. We ordered what, 300 extra catalog. She told me she's down to 120. Yeah, we've had that many requests. We've had 150 requests in the last 10 days. We're very flattered with the response. And. And anyway, we look forward to sell.
- [101:23]
C
If you aren't able to come, sure enough, it'll be broadcast of live on cci.
- [101:28]
A
Absolutely. And you can find the sale catalog, the. The PDF one there on their website as well to go ahead and look through some things if y' all are.
- [101:35]
C
Interested with all the videos and the whole nine yards.
- [101:39]
A
One thing I'd like y' all to tack on real quick, y' all are excited about a lot of things, but one thing that caught my attention is the giveaway on that A plus heifer.
- [101:46]
C
Yes.
- [101:47]
A
How's that work?
- [101:48]
B
Yeah. So this is the first. We actually saw this gentleman in Nebraska, Cross Diamond. I was visiting with him and he. I watched him give away a heifer and the response, it was incredible. I just kind of tickled my heart. So I'm glad you brought that up, Weston, because it's probably the thing I'm most excited about. There are two things I'm excited about for this cell. One thing is living life every day with my family. I've got an outstanding crew and family that work side by side with me every day. So brings me great joy. And second of all, I think it's going to be fun to give away a heifer this year. I can't. I mean, I hope it impacts a young person's life and we're glad to do it. And we're going to try to make this an annual something that we do annually give away heifer each year. So excited about that?
- [102:34]
A
Absolutely. With that said, all the info, I'm sure is found on either Facebook or cci and contact info is in every catalog, whether it's at your disposal and fingertips or on the PDF there on CC CCI. With that said, the sale is happening on February 7th at 12:30 Central Standard Time there at Power Plus Cattle in Hobart, Oklahoma. If you can't make it in person, it'll be live on cci. Very appreciative of the opportunity that I have to do a preview something for this renowned. And I'm grateful that Mr. Marlo and Duff were able to hop on and do this with me and trust my platform to represent them. With that said, said, grateful for the opportunity. Thank you all for tuning in. If you all have any questions, y' all know who to contact. We'll see y' all next time.
- [103:19]
B
Thank you. Thank you, Estonia.
