Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Innovative Sale Format & Approach

• Manual Accounting for Semen Sales
  • Colton introduces a new, more manual approach to semen lot sales—buyers won’t experience instant confirmation, as sales are processed manually a day later.

    “You don't think that nothing happened because you're not gonna get a normal immediate response...it's probably going to be delayed a day or so...they're going to have to manually do the accounting part of it.” – Colton [00:52]

  • This approach is meant to be fair and wide-reaching, with opportunities to buy new, rarely-available bulls’ semen.
• Collaborative Support
  • Shoutout to Matt Turner and Steer Bidder for accommodating unconventional methods.

    “Thank you to Matt Turner and the Rosas for the whole crew at Steer Bidder for putting up with my craziness and being a little unconventional.” – Colton [04:04]

• Buyer Education Emphasized
  • Hosts stress reading details carefully to avoid confusion.

Lot 3: Cessna Daughter

• Out of one of Colton’s original embryo calves, the foundation “Cessna” cow—responsible for a legacy of champions and banners.
• Colton is emotionally attached and only selling a half ownership, underscoring her value.

Lot 4: Little Smokey

• Triple clean, gray hided American bull, admired for his unmatched structure, versatility, and gentle disposition.

  “The way that his back ties into his hip...all that lays in and how smooth it is yet wide is absolutely unique.” – Colton [20:08]

Lots 5–7: Maternal Maid Anchor, Irish Whiskey Bull, Sim Brahman Female

• Maternal qualities, proven production, and strategic pairings discussed for each.

  “Do not back up on quality because she is something that...she's going to do nothing but prove me stupid for selling her...” – Colton [24:09]

Lot 8+: Advanced Bulls and Unique Genetics

• Several bulls discussed in rapid succession, including moonshine OJ, El Sueno (El Serino), and unique outcrosses.
• Special emphasis on rare pedigrees, carrier statuses (DS, TH), and suitability for various breeding objectives.

Transcript

[A]

Well, welcome back, everybody. If y' all just now checking in from the Colton's other sale would have been the springboard studs, which is the steers, and they are nothing short of some studs. So now we went over all of those. We got the genetics and some other opportunities and as he calls this one, his breeding stock edition. So we're going to jump into this one and Colton Weston, if y' all want to get add something to it.

[B]

New format on semen stuff, if you're bidding on it and Colton will probably explain about it. It's very different, but I think very effective. And so. But I think people can definitely get confused by it if you don't read through it thoroughly. So Colton definitely go into description on that, on how that works, and then we can dive into the phenomenal cow you have in lot one.

[C]

Hey, I'm like the racehorse in the. In the. In the gate. The semen sale deal. This is going to be very interesting. You don't think that nothing happened because you're not gonna get a normal immediate response in your email or anything like that saying, hey, you just bought lot 27. It's probably going to be delayed a day or so because the way that we're doing this, they're going to have to manually do the accounting part of it. So just bid then you are.

[D]

Sure.

[C]

If you want, there's a couple of them that are less, but if you want to buy 10, you want to buy just if you want to buy 10 by 2 lots of. It's as simple as that. The thought process behind this was I wanted to use this sale to unveil some new bulls to give opportunity for y' all to buy some semen on bulls that we don't offer every day to the public. But I was.

[D]

Even though.

[C]

We knew we wanted to open up se.

[D]

Next.

[C]

In the sale, and so what I wanted to do was kind of set the value kind of close. Close to where I wanted to be marketing the semen. And so, like, the first semen lot, I don't know what the lot number is, but it's the blessed assurance bull. We'll get into him later. But, like, that bull is absolutely incredible, and I'm stoked about him. We're gonna sell for 100.

[B]

Awesome.

[A]

That's a neat way to do it for sure.

[B]

And I'm sure you probably had that idea for quite a while, but didn't know how to approach it. And I'm glad that now it's being able to be used to the public And I think it's pretty efficient, for sure.

[C]

Thank you to Matt Turner and the Rosas for the whole crew at steer bitter for putting up with my craziness and being a little unconventional that they're, they're more than accommodating on working with me and trying to get that deal to work. And I think it's going to be the most fair way for the clients and we can get a lot of tools out there. I hope y' all don't find it too confusing and actually find that you like it.

[B]

Awesome. Awesome. Well, the first lot of this sale, you couldn't have started out any better. 0319 bread due to Pendleton on 1210 of this year out of the legendary 5319 and sired by Loaded red. This cow is phenomenal. I mean, looks just like her mom. Just like her mom. I, I, I'm a little. I don't even know what else to say. This cow's awesome. This, this cow is awesome.

[C]

If you see her in person, you wouldn't even be able to get those words off.

[B]

Yeah, yeah, for sure. For sure. Why'd you decide to offer her? Why'd you breed her to Pendleton and what is her future look like in your mind?

[C]

I'm being super, super candid and honest. Do you want that?

[B]

Yeah, well, of course. I mean, honesty is the best policy.

[C]

American nation. The reason her and other female consignments in this sale are being offered is because for both of these sales this time and Morgan meisenheimer and steer bitter crew helped me edit them because I don't know nothing about computers. So I just got them the stuff. Animals look incredible. And I'm setting up for a flush right now. And I'm a little bit mad that I'm not going to be able to flush them because these two are bred.

[B]

There you go. Absolutely. If you don't know what Colton also just said, he decided to get some sort of braveness and start picturing his own stuff. I ain't saying that he's the best at it, but he ain't no slouch and he made them all look right. He's doing majority of the work now. All behind it usually has been. But shout out to Morgan meisenheimer. She is the cat's meow.

[C]

Especially about anything do with the picture.

[D]

She would.

[C]

I'm still on the Morgan train. She's my chick. But she is out. This sale was for the moment and she is in the middle of doing some big stuff for Thomas ranch and a couple other Big sheep.

[B]

Oh, we lost you for a minute. Can you get there now, Colton?

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

Okay. Okay. So talk to me now about why you brought her to Pendleton and what you think her future looks like, in your opinion.

[D]

Yeah. So I have had a captain out of her. And you know exactly why I bred her to captain.

[B]

Yep.

[D]

Everybody else in the world would probably breed her to anything but a Brahmin bull, but she's at my house. And Dakota likes bramers, too, and so that's what we did. Could she make the next red promo bull for the entire country in the exotic world? Absolutely. But that's not what she was going to do at my house. She is bred to Pendleton because I switched gears a little bit. And he is stylish like the captain bull, but he's bigger footed, bigger legged, and if I was going to change this female, that's the way I would do it. And so that's why she got bred that way.

[B]

And.

[D]

I'm like, I have my first set of Pendletons on the ground out of loving sizes. Mama who's built. Not quite as sweet looking as this one and moderate as this one, but similar shapes and those, they are a handful of studs and you see them and you'd be real anxious to get this one out of this one's belly.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Awesome. Well, since this thing looks absolutely phenomenal and now Colton's saying he's even doing picturing and everything, I think that all that proves is that with Colton's picture and saying that he's running in here not even clipping, washing, or anything, that just shows simply how good these things are just fundamentally. And I think that goes through from the. From the sale we just did with the steers all the way through all of these. And I think the first bull he's offering on in Lot 2 is nothing short of that. And he says this thing is. Can work on pretty much anything. And this thing looks like a beast.

[D]

Hey, this is the dumbest looking animal I've ever seen in my life.

[B]

Okay.

[D]

Like, he. His mama is Nelson's grandma, and Chad Eaton got him from Adam Potts whenever he was like a weaned calf and he was stupid hairy and he'd always send me pictures, always send me pictures. Well, he finally brought him over as, like a yearling to the stud for us to get him going. Dude, I'm telling you, the biggest, hugest legs and feet in the world. His shoulders are. He's so massive that he looks like he would kill every cow he ever tried to have one of his babies. He's a mongrel. And then he came back. DS Carrier only he looks like he carried all three of the things plus four new ones. And I was like, there ain't no way he's only a DS Carrier. And turns out he's only a ds. That's all he could be by pedigree. And the coolest thing about him, I told Chad, I was like, hey, you can try this thing. But American Ranger can have some birth weight issues sometimes. And this one looks like he'd kill all the cows, so. But like, not a single birth weight issue, which is surprising and awesome. There's been a good number of calves out of him. We've sold some. A good number of semen on this bull. There's been a lot of people have some success with them. He works on on exotics. Being as massive as he is, the cow just needs to be real pretty and built good. He will not hurt you on hair. If she's a th you can make Fort Worth ones. Just as surprising as the okay birth weights is the fact that you can breed his big old long dong self to Americans. And they're not too trashy. They're very properly charactered back on ABC females, and that was kind of shocking to me, but he's done it very consistently.

[B]

Awesome. Disposition is great. DS Carrier only works on exotics.

[D]

Hey, have y' all watched the video?

[B]

I watched the video. Yeah.

[D]

That thing for, like, 10 minutes.

[A]

Oh, my gosh.

[B]

You weren't joking about him being kind of ugly looking. I remember seeing him as a baby and he was actually relatively hairy. But I looked at his head and I was like, that's got to be the ugliest headed thing I've ever seen. And then he started.

[D]

His head's cute.

[B]

His head's not cute. His head's ugly. Ugly, ugly. But he's a wolf. There's pretty headed bulls out there.

[D]

Just because you look feminine doesn't mean my bull has to.

[A]

Well, take that one, Weston. The bull is versatile.

[B]

Very, very versatile. Huge feet and legs that work. And I love the bull. I love them since I saw him from day one. I just don't like his head shape, that's all I'm gonna say. Lot three is next, though. Arguably my favorite lot of the wholesale. And I know I said lot one was one I liked a whole lot. I'm a little fond of this one because of her sire and because of her look and the way she moves her feet and legs. Because I had a steer that had about the same feet and legs as her. Out of the same sire she is due to old Sancho. If y' all don't know who Sancho is, he's a yellow baldy bull.

[D]

Yeah, dude, she. She had that thing this morning.

[B]

Oh, there you go. I had it this morning.

[D]

Yellow bull calf with perfect character.

[B]

Even better. Even better. So for any of y' all who buy the cow, you have a bull calf by her side. And I. I love this cow. I love this cow.

[D]

Any of you who buy half the cow, yeah, you can double down and buy her all. But I'm offering half. You do get half of this first calf as well. Unless if you want to sell him, if you want to keep him, you can have him.

[B]

My opinion is you just double down and buy Oliver. Because she is worth all of it. But elaborate what this cow is to you, Colton, and what bulls would work on her in the future and the backstory on her.

[D]

All right, so you know how special 5319 is the mama of the lot one.

[B]

Then we have Cessna.

[D]

She was. She was decal in my climb cell whenever I sold out. She was. I mean, she's the. She's it, right?

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

Well, for sure, a cow that wasn't in that climb cell, but who was responsible in some way, shape or form for over half of it was the Cessna cow. The Cessna was cow. Was part of my very first embryo calf crop. That's what she was born in. And she never did anything but have great stuff. She branded seven different kevs, had three different banners out of five different bulls in four different breeds.

[B]

Pretty solid as.

[D]

Never had a bullcap do what, as.

[B]

The auctioneer Shipman would say, pedigree, pedigree, pedigree.

[D]

Tomboy, come boy.

[B]

Pedigree, pedigree, pedigree.

[D]

This one. That cow is incredible. And she. Sorry, I'm eating supper.

[B]

Oh, good.

[D]

She's incredible looking. She's incredible generating. And she didn't look nothing like this cow does. This one's belly is the hugest thing ever. Yet she's smooth and her feet and legs work like how everybody's wish that their cattles would work. And her hip is perfect. And it's like you are a dadgum idiot for selling an animal like that. And part of me just wants to sit around and look at her all day. And that's why I was only offering half. Cause I was hoping that she could just stay around here so I could look at her.

[A]

There you go.

[B]

Perfect. Utter perfect feet and legs, presence, body shape, all of it and back.

[D]

If she. If she would have taken AI last year and kev in time for me to flush her in this flush that I'm doing right now, she would not be for sale today. The fact that this is the main flush that I do and she's missing it and she looked like a phenom and I wanted to take her picture is the only reason why she's in the cell.

[B]

There you go.

[A]

Sound like if somebody's been on here, they got a pretty special one they can grab a hold of.

[B]

They got a couple special ones they can grab a hold of, that's for sure.

[A]

We only going down. We only the third one and so far they all special. So.

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

Hey, hey, boys. Y' all just rear back and buy like the first seven on here and you wouldn't have to do nothing but retire.

[B]

Sweet. Then lot four. Little smokey. I've seen the bull in person a couple times. I saw him when he was real haired up and thought that he had to be th and then Colton told me his triple clean. I said, even better. Gray hided arguably the best feet and legs I've ever seen on an American bull. They move really, really, really good. Talk to me about the bull, why he's in the sale, and what kind of cow he works on to make elite Americans.

[D]

Yep. So this bull is owned by my buddy Matt Woodley. He raised him, he's used him. He brought him here to get collected and I fell in love with him. We've sold a little semen on him. Other people have used him. And to go along with how you described him from today all the way back to the first time he showed up, I have been enamored with the way that this animal is built. To me, his size is perfect. His length of body, his depth of body, his proportions are perfect. The way that his back ties into his hip and then his hip to his tail head, and the way that all that lays in and how smooth it is yet wide is absolutely unique. He's a bull that being triple clean, being built like that, there's literally like what can I not breed him to and get something that of value? Some of you may say, well, I hate that color. Well, I'm here to tell you that that color, when bred to other colors, makes about every color except that color. I've had black ones, I've had soft haired white ones, I've had red ones, I've had tiger stripe ones all out of this bull. On top of that, he's got an attitude about Like American hero. I looked up the other day when the guys were feeding and we have the baddest two cats working for us, Louise and Ozzy. They're brothers. They're about 55 and 65 years old. And the 65 year old was feeding the bulls and he climbed up into the feed trough and got on this bull's back and was scratching on him, riding around and checking the other bulls. He is dog, dog gentle and just so flawless in the way that he's built. A guy could feel very comfortable on digging in on that one.

[A]

Yeah, that's always something to be very useful to somebody. Well now on the lot five you got a maternal maid anchor and maybe kind of want to know what does she bring to the table? Why'd you buy her? Because she seems a lot like the kind of type of cattle I like and I'm sure a bunch of people would definitely agree on that one.

[D]

Yeah. So this is the cow that made the lot seven steer and the steer silly.

[B]

Yep.

[D]

That calf was in her belly whenever I purchased her in the Dakota Classic sale this year at the first of the year, this was their lead off cow that they started the sale with. And I wasn't going to let her go anywhere but Sweetwater, Texas.

[B]

That's right.

[D]

When you look like that, are that size, that dimensional and have that presence, I'm all about it. I thought she'd work absolutely perfect to Nelson. So I kept her out, got this hairy exotic thing, offered him for sale to you people. And then I bred her good and I, I mix flushed her to Nelson and keep swinging. I put every one of them in. Those are coming this spring. My palpation deal I just had was good. So I know I'm going to have some coming. And the only reason that she is offered for sale, I have those coming. She, like I said, I do a conventional flush this time of year. Right now, like I just did my second to last shot 30 minutes ago and whenever I was going cedar in, I palpate those and check for cls before they get a cedar. And she just wasn't in the right stage of recycle to work for this flush. I don't do a lot of ivf, so it was, I was kind of bummered. And the cow is not young. She's built like she could last 50 more years and she's in great shape, but she, she's not young. So I was like, am I going to wait and flush her and then she's going to be flushed out and she's going to be old and not have value. Or I can turn around while she looks good, offer her to someone right now that could set up for their flush maybe in a week and she could work for them right away. And you could get pregnancies on her in two weeks from now. And so I'm offering her for those reasons. And don't back up on quality because she is something that she's going to do nothing but prove me stupid for selling her once her calves hit the ground.

[B]

Awesome. Awesome. Then lot six, good as it gets. Irish whiskey. I saw the bull's picture and thought, hey, that's a nice American. Kind of weird, but named him six seven. He is Yankee. Yankee bred. Looked like an American to me, but he ain't. He's exotic, unfortunately. But the right feet and legs, the look, the body shape. How'd you get a hold of this one? And why are you selling him?

[D]

So Brad Smith, that also is one of the consigners in that Dakota Classic sale. And that dude, if y' all don't know him, y' all need to get him on the podcast. He's incredible. He's got some of the best stuff going. And he had a bull sale and he had this one in it. And just like you, I was like, well, what in the heck is he doing with an American? And then I saw his pedigree and I said, well, he's not American. And then I saw that he lived like in Iowa or something dumb. And I said, well, he needs to live in Sweetwater, Texas. So I bought him and I was like, I don't really ever turn out a bull and usable. So I bought him to bring him to Texas and sell to someone who I would think would probably turn out on a set of American cows to make some killer symbols. Could he be used differently? Absolutely. That one could make some incredible females if you bred him exotic, British, whatever. I mean, he's just good stock, bred good. Brad was very pumped up about his mother. Irish whiskey donor that he's got. But that kind of chrome, that kind of character, that kind of design and silhouette and profile. I figured he needed to be making some symbols for somebody for.

[A]

There you go, you come in the old Watt seven. You gotta go half blood. So I know it's right up your alley, so I'll let you go ahead and break her down all the way for me.

[D]

So this one is a consignment from my buddy D. Wayne Moore. He had a bull called Bud that he got from La Maneka, I believe, and he was a purebred ramen bull. I sold a lot of calves over the years for Dwayne, and the bud ones were always the very best ones. They did the very best. They branded, they bannered, they did a lot of good. And he had a set of sim brahmvi cows, and he would AI them clubby and then cover them with that bull. And it made the dangest set of females. And here's one of them. This one has made a herd sire for Logan Gilbert. One of my calves, that was one of my favorite ones this spring that Lincoln Lecompte bought was out of that bull that Logan has that was out of this cow. She's also made a couple keeping heifers. And maybe there's a steer that might have branded or did something for Dwayne. But you can take this one to an exotic. You can take her to a ABC bull and get one that looks like a bramer. You can take her to a half blood and get one that looks like a bramer. There's a lot of versatility here. And she's a big, stout winch.

[B]

Awesome. Awesome. I being honest, her paired to a stouter exotic bull that has like an extra shorter, like, shorter rib stouter feature.

[D]

Down in the sale.

[B]

For sure. Like him or like a standout or even like a son of man would work really well on that cow at least. I mean, what do you. I mean, obviously you think the same thing on the Blessed Assurance, but we will get to him here in a bit.

[D]

Standout's a little longer bodied. I probably wouldn't do that on this particular cow. And that. Yeah, mainly for that reason. If that Blessed assurance is like you took standout and smushed them together a little bit more.

[A]

Right.

[D]

Son of man and Blessed Assurance are built very similar. So I like, I like your. Your deal there. That son of man's a good bull for sure.

[B]

Well, then, lot eight. I'm a little confused, so I need some clarification. Aaron Hartman's been hyping up this bull a lot on Facebook.

[D]

No, that's not him.

[B]

It's not him.

[D]

Okay, you're just confused.

[B]

Okay. Just confused. I'll start over then. You got lot 8 bull called moonshine OJ over 4207. So a horn livestock Matt Woodley deal.

[D]

You better stop talking, Weston, because all that pedigree right there is way before your time. And it's when the kid stuff was.

[B]

Real good, obviously, because I ain't heard of none of that besides Silver Ben. But stout, dimensional.

[D]

Yes, he is.

[B]

Huh? I mean, muscular. I mean, talk to me about him. And what's the deal with being incorporated by the Cody family?

[D]

Yeah. So this bull is another Matt Woodley consignment. He bought this bull's mama from Horn, and I'm pretty sure that this is the calf that was. No, it's not. That was a steer. It may have been. The calf that was in that cow's belly when he bought her was the steer that was that reserve champion. And then he bred her to his sire, OJ which was out there. Kc, Aladdin and all that is Earhart stuff like your. Oh, what's the bull that extra special. I believe he's out there, Casey. Aladdin or something to that effect. Horns825, the 577 bull is out there. A lot of quirky stuff is. Goes back to out there out there. Casey and Aladdin are the mainstay bulls in the Earhart program that have helped build herds around the nation. And then you get Silver Bend, monopoly, White Eye, Glover 505. And there's fun stuff loaded through throughout that deal. I'm going to get his testing results back from Mary. Should be this week, and I'll put him up here. But I'm betting just by pedigree that he's a DS Carrier only.

[B]

Awesome. Awesome.

[D]

And he is stout. Sure is.

[A]

Well, now, Next in Lot 9, you switching it up and got you an old maintainer bull, which is a driving 80 out of 1 of Welshin's donors. So Sting looks a little different than the rest of you that year, maybe just considering he's not an American. But he looks sweet, this one. It seems like kind of coming in since you got him and what he's been doing.

[D]

Yeah. So similar to, oh, lot six that I named six seven, because what are you gonna do with them? I don't know. What does 67 mean? I don't know. But this bull, this lot nine bull, whenever I seen him in Welsh and Sale, I was like, hey, that's the kind that needs to work to Americans. He had features in his Sale picture at that time that reminded me of a bull of Jake Frankie's called TaylorMade. And that was a bull. He bred a lot of brangus cows back in the day that had a lot of success. And I always wanted to find some main bulls because I knew from a lot from that that they nicked well in the American world. And so I bought him to resell him, put him in my groom up a little bit, put him in my Cell collected on him. Mr. Robert Fox, the brenham, texas legend bought him and has used him the past couple years. Has kept some heifers, has sold some, I think not this year, but the year before. His high selling steer was a partner kef. That kev did a lot of winning. I saw four fancy heifers out of him in this year's set. Weston, you. You clipped on them, I believe.

[B]

One thing I'll before colton continues. Robert fox is one of the most genuine guys you'll ever come across. That partner bull was utilized heavy at his place. There were about three heifers that I told robert I want to buy right now but I ain't got the budget to do so because I got future plans. So I can't buy them, but I really, really want them. The bull has made nothing but sound feminine, maternal females on his cows and his cows are about as fundamental as you can make them. The bull's versatile. The bull's real good. And I saw multiple progenies out of him and I loved every single one of them.

[D]

What it seemed, you can correct me if I'm wrong, but what it seemed like to me that he did extremely well was man, they're like cocky presence and cool pattern and design but still have some stuff to him in the center part of their body.

[B]

Yeah. Like not an unfunctional one, not a not pretty one and not one that was devoid or lack of body shape pin with their dimension. They all had everything that you would seek after for a donor prospect or show heifer. There were some from the bottom side that could have been registered and there were some that had all the right pieces to be a really good donor female as well. There wasn't one that I didn't like at all. Obviously, I had rankings between the ones that were my favorite and not favorite based off my biased opinion. But the bull generated arguably some of my favorite females that I'd seen out of someone's cow base I'd never even heard of. And I show up to Robert's place not even knowing that he had a connection with colton. And all of a sudden we're talking about this bull that I'd saw at his place at some point in time, saw him in person at Roberts and then saw his casuals like, holy smokes. That bull worked well. Really well for you. Yeah. And.

[D]

And his mama was like a show heer from one of brock's families. And. And I think her mama was too. And there's just a lot of good stuff that that one goes Back to. And. And Brock could write you the story on it, but I. I'm not as up into that side of those type of pedigrees. But if you're really interested that Brock knows the bull well.

[B]

For sure. For sure. Well, then you got lot 10 tiger stripe brindle bull that is out of Matt Woodley's little Mac on a stockyards. He's a 2022 model in his triple clean. And Colton promotes him as being a heifer safe sire. And talk to me about the bull.

[D]

So full of crap, huh? I hope that he proves himself to be heifer safe. I did not promote him as a heifer safe sire.

[B]

Okay. Hope. Hope that he proves himself as heifer safe. Yes, yes, he's allowed to be considered.

[D]

Yes, I think he will go on and prove himself. He has some cows that are bred right now. I don't think he has any that have hit the ground. The way that he's built, the way that he's bred, one could assume that, hey, I could breed my heifers to this one and get along good. But he has yet to prove that. But just the bull alone. A little bit like little Smokey in that. Golly, he's just built so nice. His size, his proportions. He's not out of bounds anywhere. He's just complete and good and has a good presence about him. Awesome.

[A]

Well, following up next, you have old Mr. El Serino. Here I am.

[D]

You got a Cajun trying to speak Spanish? No.

[A]

El Serino.

[D]

El suerno.

[A]

El Sueno. I gotta try, dude. I'm just trying to read some letters.

[B]

That lip don't do you no good.

[A]

It's a curse.

[B]

It's a curse.

[A]

Now, this thing looks punchy, looks shapely, read stout. So kind of right up a good alley.

[D]

Yeah, the. The thing that popped off the page to me, I bought him as a. Just when he was turning breeding age. He was actually one that Jeff Parker had bought as a calf through Das Torres. And they were going to show him. But those little bitty boys couldn't get him. Halter broke. That baby kept whipped him. And so they kept the seeds in him. And Laramie sold him whenever he got to breeding age. And I bought him and soon after that I partnered with Travis Myers on him. And he's been running him on his cows the last two years. And had. We've had some fun stuff and they've had some good success out of him. But that pedigree, he's a full sib to Fort Worth champion abc. A reserve Fort Worth champion ABC and stuff that has done well at slick shows as well. For reed vestal ranches, that pedigree is pretty iconic and done a lot of stuff for them. And this would be a flushmate to all that stuff. Physically, that is. If American hero wasn't alive, this would be the damnedest legged and footed animal ever. It's like the first time I saw solid gold. He look like photoshopped in person because everything was like enhanced and bigger. And that's the way this one's feet and legs are. They are like. You can't take a picture to prove it. True. You just put your head down there and you're like, man, those are way bigger than my head is. On top of that, he's got muscle. He throws good hair quality, especially when you breed him to something th. And he likes to throw paints as well.

[B]

Awesome. The bull as a little calf was incredibly hairy. Huge feet and legs that work right out of a real proven donor of vessels. And obviously out of here. I am DS Carrier only. Colton gave you the specifics. I want to talk about Lot 12. This Nitro Bull, you got nothing on him up there right now on steer bidder. So clarify for us what he is, how you got him, why you're offering him, what's his future.

[D]

Yeah, so he. I thought I had that up on him. They, they. I forgot El sereno on here. And so he just got added tonight. And these others that they bumped down just. They haven't got their write ups back on them yet.

[B]

All good, all good.

[D]

But Nitro is a bull that I've sold kevs out of. He's another one from Matt Woodley.

[B]

Okay.

[D]

And this bull has a lower birth weight as well. He obviously throws color. He's bred him to exotics and Americans and done very well with both. I'll try to throw on here a picture of one of the American calves that his girls showed this last year. And he was a stud. He nicks well on character. He does not hurt you on hair quality. He adds punchiness and shape and moderation. A bull that is just bred very well for Woodley, and that bull's very consistent. Kind of like the Nelson's. If you've seen one, you can kind of pick them out of a calf crop. This bull's the same way. Once you see one or two of them, then you can like, oh, I bet you that one's a nitro there.

[B]

Gotcha. Gotcha.

[A]

Well, next to 13, you have a amazing gray son. And like you said, for these Next couple of descriptions going. So if you want to go ahead and maybe describe them and give them a little rundown, then it's all yours.

[D]

Yeah. This is the next. Two lots are consignments from the legendary Mike Muschin. So both of them are natural calves out of donors of his. Actually, the. The Amazing grace is embryo calf.

[B]

Huh.

[D]

As a weaned calf, that was the first time I saw this bull. He was stupid, stupid dimensional and stout. And I'm like, oh, we're gonna have to hold up on feeding this thing for a minute for him to stay together. But he started growing, and he is built so good. He is shapely. He's just true, genuine, honest. Whenever he walks around, he kind of has the presence of his daddy.

[B]

Mm.

[D]

He's a bullet.

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

I think could handle breeding a lot of cows. I think he's going to breed high quality and just not offer many problems.

[B]

Awesome. Do we know his genetic defects or.

[D]

Do DS carrier only?

[B]

Okay, okay. DS carrier only. Very versatile. Very good herd. Sire lot 14 is next. He's a bear. Mountain BDR talk to me about him. What's his genetic defects if he's got some, and why you're offering him as well? Obviously, you got him from Mr. M. And I don't know how to pronounce his last name, so I didn't want to butcher it. But why did you buy into or allow him to consign this bull in your sale?

[D]

Man, he. He was like, if you want to put him in here, you can. If not, it's no big deal. I said, hey, I like that dude a lot. He's staying. I think his pattern is so cool. And he's expressive, muscled. He's round rib cage. He could be a little deeper maybe, but I want my cows that way. And you get some. Some punch and some look from this guy. I think he can fancy up a planer set of cows. I think there's just a lot of good. He's unique. There's not many like him. And his. I'll have his results from Mary later this week as well on his carrier status.

[B]

Awesome. Awesome. There you go.

[D]

But, well, and I want to point out that a lot of these bulls, like these two from Mushroom, they're virgin bulls, and they're just turning breeding age. Where some of these bulls in here are more mature. And so you're seeing them at different stages of life. It's cool because these are mature bulls in the prime of their lives, and they're proven and, you know, they can get out and work. But these two bulls are young. The amazing gray son especially like, he just looks like one. You can turn out and he's going to breed 30 cows before you blink. He just is comes off that way. That Lot 14 has a place. He's another young bull. And then we round out with that lot 15. That's a Marshall Mathers son. He's another one that needs to prove himself to be a heifer bull. But Marshall Mathers is my kind of go to heifer bull around here. And his. This bull here was out of a first calf heifer as well. And his skeleton is just so genuine and square. He's good footed. He's not going to mess you up anywhere. He just to make him better, he could be punchier, muscled.

[B]

Awesome. Awesome. He looks a lot like Marshall Mathers. Just his build and frame. I think Marshall Mathers is maybe a little cooler looking if we want to get into detail.

[D]

But I think little horns.

[B]

Yeah, yeah.

[D]

Looks half bucking bull.

[B]

Yeah, yeah. Spice him up a little bit. Yeah. Lot 16's next. This bull's been brought up a lot. I've seen the bull in person. I know what his like Colton and me talked about earlier. He's a shorter, more compact version of standout. How great thou art moonlight char lutton. He is th carrier only this bull, as boxy and square as you can make one and still moves his feet and legs right. With all that mass and dimension as the yearling. When I saw him, I'm sure he hadn't changed much from when I saw him to now. That bull is arguably one of my favorites that's walked on Colton's place. But he can elaborate more.

[D]

Yeah, and the. The slick sheer muscle and build is just as good as the hair that drapes off of him in the winter. Like right here in this picture. That's him, like slick down. He. He has crazy hair. And I think Matt put a video of him on here for me that's around him, like around weaning age. He was blessed with some incredible hair. But this one has an incredible story. I encourage y' all to, if you're really interested, to call Adam Potts because this is like his baby. He raised him. He raised the mama, the mama's mama. The. That lineage that he comes from on the bottom side of his pedigree, like gets Adam all giggly inside talking about it and like what it's done for him and his program. And then this bull, from the moment he first saw him has given him the warm fuzzies every single time he's seen him. And that, you know, us in this business, it's so competitive. There's so many good ones. You get to a point where you get excited about your stuff and you get mad about your stuff and you think none of them are good enough. And then you think, well, they're all right. And he said this Kev has done nothing but made him fall more and more in love every time he's ever been around him. We are super grateful and blessed for the opportunity to be a part of this bull. And I don't think that there's a place in the world that couldn't use him in what he has to offer.

[A]

No doubt he looks like a good old slicker and steer in his picture right there.

[D]

Yeah. And that's him. We're about to collect him for the first time and he's watching another bull collect and he's roaring to get in there.

[B]

Awesome.

[A]

Well, Next up in 17, you have a another units of an ingot we trust bull called golden age. And based off of just his cell phone picture you had out in the pasture, this thing looks like a fuzzy, cool looking little rascal.

[D]

Yeah. And this is him like it, I don't know, six months old. He is an absolute unit. And as you can tell from that picture, when Jason and I bought him, we did not know his carrier status. That day that we took that picture, we pulled hair on him and he came back triple clean and we about did a double backflip. You have an in guy we trust, son that is super stout, super hairy, super athletic, way cool looking, dark yellow and broccol headed and has a red baldy mama. What is there not to be excited about?

[B]

Right. Exactly. Exactly.

[D]

I think he can make Americans think he can make exotics. I think he can make a slick sheeran one to win the show. I think he can be bred to a carrier one and go to Fort Worth. I just think he. You talk about versatile on a few of these. I think this one has the opportunity to be very, very versatile.

[B]

Yeah, for sure. The bull, when I saw him when I went to your place last, Colton, um, wasn't haired haired up at the time, but if I had to tell you if he can make slick shirt ones, I could definitely be confident in saying so. Because his shape without the hair is just as good as blessed assurances. Uh, yeah, like one of my favorites slicked off. But I knew he had the hair because it looked at his legs and he had the fuzz.

[D]

Yeah.

[B]

Lot 18, we've obviously talked about Nelson. That's five units starting at 175. So a little cheaper than it would be in the springboard sale. But I'm sure it would climb pretty fast going into the sale because people are smart and know that he's the best American bull to walk the face of the earth.

[D]

And here's the deal. The bull's dead. I'm not going to offer semen forever because there's not going to be semen able to be offered forever. And it's available now. So if you want some, get in.

[B]

Yes, sir. I'm going to talk about 19 real quick, Luke, because go for it.

[A]

I figured you'd like to.

[B]

This bull gets me excited and I have a past with him in some way, shape or form. Rewind is a Nelson Beyonce. I owned the cow for a small portion of my life and I sold the cow to Mary and Jake Calloway. I loved her. I got a how great thou art out of her. I don't know where he ended up. Colton could tell you, but the calf was real good. Beyonce has had a lot of steers out of her that have performed well. One of them being a black exotic that the wall drip sold and has been winning a lot this summer. The bull himself that okay, the calf that I sold by her side or not by. Yeah, by her side. It was the one that was doing all the winning this summer with the Waldorf boys. I'm fond of this bull because of the cow he's out of, but I know for a given fact we're talking about American hero and el sereno have big feet and legs and work. This bull you can arguably say is right up there with them. His mass body shape and dimension is out there. But you get a better version of him because he's out of Nelson. He's a TH carrier and a DS carrier and all I gotta say is the bull on triple clean cows or DS carrier cows works really, really good in my opinion. I wish I would have gotten some semen out of him before I sold a cow of mine, but I know for a given fact that he would work really well on her. And with that said, I mean, Colton, you can elaborate on him, but the bull has been one of my favorites from day one.

[D]

Yeah, a lot of things about him will remind a guy of Nelson. He's even more compact and dense than Nelson was. And the cow that is behind any stupid haired like that one especially, you can't see it here because he's just starting to get his Fuzz back. But this time last year, you couldn't see his dew causing his hooves because he had hair just hanging off of him. And his mama was that way and she's triple clean. That Beyonce cow is has done nothing since she got to Texas but generate great stuff. Last year, Jason had a Here I am. That was an incredible animal that we lost after weaning right now on the place is a here I am out of her. That's a heifer. That is absolutely killer. The stocking legged, huge legged, say no more phenom that broke the Internet is out of her. The now we have this Nelson son. And I don't know, it's just a way to use Nelson that you get something different on the bottom side of the pedigree. And I think he can make Fort Worth like he's stout and can make slicking ones. But when you have the opportunity to make a really hairy American, you need to jump on it. And he's one that can do it.

[A]

There you go then. Next up on 25. Lots of living the dream. And this thing's picture and everything just looks pretty unique for another Nelson son, even on a puma donor. This thing looks wild to me. And like you said, he's stupid haired and to be th free is unique in itself. And he's painted up. She looks real cool.

[D]

Yeah. Yeah. So his mama is kind of panda marked.

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

She was the first animal after I sold out in my climb cell that I went out and bought and it was at the Dakota Classic and I was wanting to pick out a female for Nelson to make Fort Worth Americans. I fell in love with her. I sat there until I got her bought. I came home and I flushed her and that's that calf as a result. There's a heifer in my heifer cell a while back. That was another one of those. I got a heifer on the ground right now. That's incredible. That puma was incredible. And I think this Kev is cool. The most unique thing about him, other than him, his hair and not being th is he's got a crazy amount of character. He's got more character than Nelson. And puma was a straight exotic. And so you would think that he wouldn't have much, but I mean, there's a lot there. And if he can work on exotics, then watch out Fort Worth, Texas, because you breed him to some th carrying exotic cows and at work on character, it's going to be fun.

[B]

Mm. Completely agree. I guess I saw the bull again when I went back and he, yeah, I mean another bull that's huge feet and legs, soft haired, cool looking. Colton tacked on that his character is right on, but didn't expect to him for him to have that much.

[D]

And he walks around with like a cocky front end, but I'm telling you, the soggiest, biggest belly and he gets it from his mama like huge bellied kiff for sure.

[B]

Well then you got lot 21 red 5319. He's a Raider Red out of the legendary 5319. He is DS carrier only. And I told Colton I was flushing a cow and I said, hey, I want semen out of this bull because I want to. And I don't think that he was going to work well on her. But I bought semen anyway and said, whatever, I'm going to have semen on him just to have it in case one day he works on something that I have because I love the bull. You're offering five units of conventional semen on him and one unit of sex male semen on him. So talk to me about the bull, why you're offering semen on him and the success that he's had so far.

[D]

Well, this mating is incredible. The 5319 cow, her first calf was out of a red Angus bull and it was a breed champion at Houston Horn bred her back. I bought her as that a bred, calved her out, sold that calf for 7,500 and got to flushing her. I flushed her brahmin and I flushed her Raider red then sold her to Rory D. Well, my Raider Reds made Taylor Jeffries kef nickel that never lost anywhere in his life in the summer and then went to Austin and was reserve champion abc. And since then Rory has had three more breed champions that are full sibs. And if y' all know Rory, y' all know that it will get a little bit more colorful than this. But when this one was born, he said, screw them, they ain't getting this one. He's staying a bull. So arguably the best one born out of a set of brothers that made three or four breed champions state a bull here. And the first calves have started hitting the ground and people that are having them are calling me to buy more semen. They can be hairy, they are good looking, they're big bone, they're shapely, they're what a guy wants. Right on, right on, right on.

[A]

Well, jumping out of 23 evil rainbow stew, which is out of the old rock. And like you say in his comments, they're saying, another like him, and it ain't even close.

[B]

Also, just like Rory D says, the rock. There ain't none like him. The rock?

[D]

Yeah, Somebody. During my sale, my climb sale, Rory was saying he was gonna buy the rock. And they're like, well, what are you gonna do with the rock? And he said, don't worry about it. I may just look at him.

[B]

He. He had him in the front pasture. You pull up to his place, and there's that first pasture on the corner. And the first time me and Luke went out there, he's standing out there, and the first words out of Rory D's mouth is, you see rock out there looking like that's what it's all about. I bought him just for that.

[D]

Yeah. God, I love that guy. This bull, his mama is as unique as what he was. And she was no accident. She was a secret sauce. Then there was. I don't even remember what number they called her. She changed car. Carter Earhart had a red donor that he was partners with Mems on and then no partners with Bird on. And when bird sold out, she. She was in that sale, and Mims bought her. And a lot of. Whenever Carter was selling a bunch of embryos and stuff, a lot of those embryos are out of this red cow. And she was an 804 daughter.

[B]

Well.

[D]

The bird had a milkman out of her, and she was red and white paint. And I bought her and flushed her to the Brahmin bull secret sauce and made this one's mama, and she was as big middled as the lot 2 or lot. What is she, three cow in this sale. And then rainbow stew popped out. And he's just been a creature ever since the day he was born. And he. His first set of kev showed this year. He had class winner middleweight ramen at Houston. Breed him to soggy and bone, and he's gonna give him the look and the power.

[B]

Awesome. Then lot 24, memo. I saw the bull on that trip that I went back and went to your place to look at everything. And the first words out of Colton's mouth was, or not the first, but close to it. I got to show you this brainer bull I bought. I got to show you this braver bull I bought, okay? And we walk over and I look at him, and I said, that thing is a beast. Like, holy smokes. I haven't seen a brainer bull look like that. Unique in his. Unique is the only way that I can describe him, but I'll describe him to y'. All the way that Colton did. His cows need to be complemented to make half bloods with the right kind of body shape, upper rib cage and pin width. This bull has those three things in tandem with the type of feet and legs that work but are very, very big and stout. The bull is like no other. And I'm sure Mr. Jala would have his own words to say about the bull and how hyped he is on him.

[D]

Also have some words to say about how you said his last name.

[B]

Sorry, Cody.

[D]

I've had my eye on this bull ever since he posted like a weanland age picture of him. He his stuff's real gentle and he'll go out in the pasture and he'll set them up in the pasture with a show stick. And he had a picture like that of this bull and I about my eyeballs popped out of my head and I wanted him then but they were had plans to show him and I knew I wasn't going to get him bought. And after his show career I finally had the opportunity and jumped on it. And he's everything that you said. I don't he's not old enough for me to have had any kevs out of him. But tomorrow I'm AI in donors to flush to him that way. He is the size that I want my purebred Brahmins and whenever they get that size, very, very, very, very few of them have big enough legs for me to like them still. And he has the big feet and the big legs. He's short backed, he's big in the center part of his body and he's very gentle as well. And he's out of a first calf heifer so hopefully he won't kill everything whenever we get kevs out. But it's yet to be determined.

[B]

There you go.

[A]

And then in 25 you have oh, Mr. Jose which as you say is a three quarter ish Brahman and an old dark boy. And seemed like he already improved himself already by having a champion Brahmin steer in Houston. But this thing looks huge.

[D]

He is as bold, big topped and big middle as you can make an animal. But he's still very, very smooth and athletic. My the bull that started everything for me was Woodrow. Woodrow is out of a bull called Hammer that Lucheck's own. This bull is out of a Hammer daughter that was just the ABC cow and people think he's a purebred Brahmin, but he's not. And his daddy was just do it that I got from V8 that was the sire to Kelton White's champion Brahmin at Houston. That was pretty popular.

[B]

Oh, Pablo.

[D]

Yeah, I just. This bull has things about him that you just can't find. And I own the hippo cow that Jared Floyd sold and we're going to try to make some bramers out of Jose and Hippo.

[B]

Speaking of hippo, I remember the conversation we had trying memo on hippo and I thought to myself, those are going to be the biggest feet and legs that I've ever seen in my life on abc. But I just remember back on that conversation. Yeah, lot 26, we got Pedro, He's a rock. Big Mac. If you don't know who Big Mac is, Big Mac was very, very popular. She still is today. One of the my more favorite Brahmin cows that Colton had at his place on obviously we've talked about rock and Rory D. That's probably one of his favorite bulls. He's a five, eight huge feet and legs that work and Colton can take it.

[D]

Yeah. So I talked about Woodrow. Well, Woodrow's dam would be the mama to Big Mac. I flushed her to probably one of the more legendary Brahmin bulls in the history of the Brahmin breed in the Hudgens bull, Elmo and created a couple three quarter Brahmin sisters. And they were the same age as Cessna, the mama to the lot three cow. They were in my very first set of embryo calves ever. And that she's actually the mama to the calf that won the middleweight Brahmins last year out of Rainbow Stew. She was the mama to that one. And so this calf here, Pedro, is actually a three quarter sib to that class one in Brahman at Houston last year in the middleweights. Cool thing about this one, just kind of like we've talked about with a couple of these others. Huge middle, huge feet and legs, not too long bodied. The combination of Brahman and percentage Brahman that he is. I don't know what he's going to have to be bred to to make one that looks like a half blood, but I'm going to throw a lot of darts and try to figure it out. There you go.

[A]

And then in lot 27, you have redemption, which is a red ABC bull out of hang time. And unfortunately it seemed like he passed away or he passed away.

[D]

He did.

[A]

But yeah, now he looks for a stout and powerful as he looks, his build and angles and lines and everything read phenomenal, man.

[D]

He was an impressive looking sucker. Um, I actually judged him in a show in Mississippi and at the backdrop. I said, hey, when you are done showing him, I think he needs to come to Texas. And that's what happened. That bull's first set of calves were the ones that were born this time last year. They are doing extremely well. They are very consistent in type and kind. They're very shapely big, metal, big, muscled. Have a cool look about him. He has been a little more inconsistent on making ABC character on exotics than I thought he was going to, but the quality is there just about every time. I'm pretty pumped up about what he can do. And like I said, he's dead. He doesn't have all that much of a semen bank, so we'll see how long I'm going to keep offering it.

[B]

He was triple. Triple clean, Correct. I can't remember.

[D]

Yes, Above. That's right.

[B]

Yeah. Triple clean. I saw two of his calves in one of Colton's wing calf pins. We were worried one of them didn't have enough character, but one of them did. I don't know where they ended up. Colton, you might be able to tell me, but the calves were phenomenal. Feet and legs were great. They were real haired up. I don't know who the cow was.

[D]

On the bottom side. The one that didn't have the right kind of character. He's been winning in south Texas as a Maine.

[B]

Even better. There you go.

[D]

Now, I do have, out of a straight exotic monopoly hoodoo cow. I have a keeping heifer that's a yellow, baldy, good character. And her natural kef this time, like, was out of redemption. And when I say she's something something, she is something, something. She is exactly what a guy would want.

[B]

Oh, yeah. So lot 28W. I love this bull so much. I love this bull so much. I remember he was in the front of the barn, and Matt and Mary, all they would do is scratch on his balls and he'd lift his leg up. Docile as any. I mean, this bull was docile. And he loved his balls being scratched. I don't know why, but he was just weird like that. The bull was as unique as any for a half blood. And I remember picture day when we pictured him, Colton told me one day, that one's gonna make me a whole lot of money. And then he ended up passing away. He ended up getting stifled, right? Yeah. And the bull was so, so unique. He. Colton can elaborate more on him, but I loved the bull, and I wish we would have been able to see more cavs out of him, but. Yeah. So to tack onto that Jewel Bell, the phenomenal showman of the Hendrick sisters. Don't get mad at me. Haley had a silver one that was a middleweight at Fort Worth. He ended up seventh or eighth. Sixth. Seventh or eighth or something like that calf. Didn't think the calf would end up actually having good enough hair. Julie worked real hard, got his hair right. So we took him. Calves out of a half blood bull.

[D]

And a triple clean cow.

[B]

Yeah. Yeah. Julie's elbow grease is better than all of her siblings, including me.

[D]

Amen.

[B]

The calf was phenomenal. Look, body shape, feet and legs were awesome. Someone used to say when he saw him and we were clipping on him from Fort Worth that he was too heifer pattern in his muscle. We chewed him out for that because the calf ended up branding at Fort Worth. And the calf was phenomenal. Back shape was awesome. I think my favorite thing about him was his feet and legs though, and he looked the part. At Fort Worth we just didn't have enough for that class. But Colt keep going on.

[D]

So W, here's the deal on him. That was the last set of calves I had before I sold out my cows. That was the biggest set of Brahmins that I've ever had. I had 21 bull Kevs, Brahmin half blood Brahmin bull kevs that year. And in that set there was five that hung banners. Four. Four that hung banners. We double dip. San Antonio. We double dip. We had one at Austin and one at Houston. And in that set that made four banners, another five branders. I kept what I thought were the best two bulls. One was rainbow stew and one was W. Yep. I thought W was the best one out of all of them. So you have a set of bramers where there's four banner hangers and two bulls. In my opinion, W was the best one. He was a rock Cessna. Cessna is the mom into that lot. Three Cessna is. So W had some full sibs in that climb sale. I think they averaged 16,000 ahead at weaning as breeding pieces. And W was the. The lead. He sold half interest for 30 something thousand.

[B]

Yeah.

[D]

He has not been used much because I didn't push him much because he got hurt because I tried to push him too early. And I had him with a cow when he was 11 months old trying to get let him get a taste of it. She rode him and they were around like some loose hay in a. Around a round bale. And he. His back feet slipped out from behind and while his front feet were still touching the ground, his belly hit and he was just never the same since. But he, I did. He came out of that and he looked terrible and he could only walk on three legs, but he could breed cows and I bred him to some. And out of like three bull kevs, two of them were that one that branded at Fort Worth, one went to Florida and won that show over there.

[B]

Yeah, Texas.

[D]

I think that. Yeah, I think that one could have been Texas show. He makes them square for a half blood. He makes them real deep flanked and big bodied. And I think there's a lot you can do with that one whether you want to breed him to exotics, ABCs or half bloods.

[B]

Funny enough, you mentioned he was in the same group as Rainbow Stew. I remember we were going through the pen, this was after my first year showing and there was Taylor Jeffries, Raider Red and Rainbow Stew. And I looked at you, I said, I'm gonna get both of those. And then Bob Dakota ended up getting Rainbow Stew and the Jeffries ended up the red one. And that was the year I had goat the Bramer that was second in the heavyweights at Houston. I remember. Yeah, that was funny. Anyway. Yeah, all in the same year, huh?

[A]

Yeah, that always sounds good for a program then.

[D]

Oh, yes, sir.

[B]

Way good.

[A]

Well, to round out the sale, you do it with the five straws of piece by piece. And as it says in here, it's a. He's a three quarter Beefmaster and from what it looks like, he is quite unique for the breed. And like you say it on here, normally they're a notch thick hide and flat muscle and this guy looks everything but that. And for, like I said, for Beefmaster, doesn't really look like your typical beefmaster.

[B]

Reese Tassin. Get on him.

[D]

A lot of people call me asking, hey, I need something with color to breed to exotics and if they're dirty then I can't tell them Nelson. And so it's like, what do you do? And I've been waiting to get semen on this bull to answer that question for people. And now we finally got it. He had a, gotten a bull fight and had a nut injury as a yearling and so he's operating off one and it just took me a year longer than I wanted to get some semen froze on him. We're having the first calves out of him. He, I let him cover a set of receipts and he, they are fancy. They're going to make show heifers. They're like, good, good. And I'm about to start flushing to him.

[B]

Awesome.

[D]

I Think the colors, the builds, the feet and legs, the balance, it's all going to be nice.

[B]

The bull as a yearling was real, real impressive with the other group of bulls that he was with that year, and you had quite a few. That was the. The group of bulls that was with Sancho, the white one that we called peewee, and that red American, that was real, real good. I don't know where he ended up or what you named him. Piece by piece was very different, and I think he's very, very versatile for the use of. Of making females, for sure, like Colton had said, but show steers as well, with that said, and that one's mama.

[D]

So the reason I, Lane Dunn, raised piece by piece, and the reason I bought him and believed in him was I judged a show one time out there in east Texas, and my supreme heifer was a tiger stripe paint phenom, and she was a half beefmaster, and her first calf was piece by piece.

[B]

Well, I think the sale that he's offering, this genetics and breeding stock sale, is about as deep as you've made in the past. Donor prospects, bulls, semen, all of it.

[D]

Is outside of the climb shell. I've never offered females this good.

[B]

I think that everything that Colton has done with his program since the climb has only gotten progressively better and better, which is why he's now had the opportunity to have another sale to that extent in terms of quality. And Colton has done a great job at getting everything back up and running after that and has been no slouch in the American business. He's getting better in the exotics, but he's, like he said before, he goes to horns to see better exotics about better Americans.

[D]

I make the exotics better by breeding them to Americans.

[B]

That's right. That's right. Lot 6 is a representation of that.

[D]

That's right.

[B]

With all that said, both sales, obviously, are coming out on the 11th. Contact Colton if you have any questions at all. He's very good about picking up the phone and giving you all the details. If I were to tell you there's someone you need to be in business with in the cattle industry, it is Colton. And with all that said, I don't know if there's anything else you want to tack on to this Colton, but I think that both sales are real, real deep, and I can't wait to see what. What happens on the night of the 11th for sure.

[D]

The only thing I'd add is I appreciate y'.

[B]

All.

[D]

I appreciate any of you that are listening, and I'll do anything I can to. To support y' all and to help those who are interested in buying the cattle. And we stand behind them.

[B]

Yes, sir. For sure. Well, this can be the wrap up for the QB cattle's both sales on steer bidder on the 11th. Make sure to check them out if you're interested. Ask questions, but you got majority of your answers in this preview or both previews. So empowerment is here and we will see y' all next time.
