Junior (3:37)

Yeah, no, for sure. This is one that we, you know, kind of had pegged the whole time. Obviously we believe in him enough to start the sale off with. And it's pretty telling that that calf, I mean there's a lot in here that, that we feel are big time quality. And the lead off with one like this, I think just shows to how much we believe in him. Like Reed said, he had incredible hair. He's built like a, you know, big time show pig. He's, he's big, wide, he's huge legged. He's got a ditch rolling down from the base of his, you know, from the top of his, from the base of his neck all the way to his tail, head. Basically. It's, it's crazy how stout this calf is and, and coup with a running gear that's impressive. He's got a hip and hind leg that's, that's highly sought after and color pattern you can't beat. So now we're pumped about this one. I see him being 12 o' clock at Houston and like Reed said, giving them all they want in that particular breed. So we're excited about him.

Weston (4:27)

Yes, sir. Well, lot two is next and just as impressive as that calf is, I think this one is just as much or more. Now I ain't a professional fitter, but I know Junior Garcia is. I would love to see this one have some glue on his legs and get to Fort Worth because I think this one Is a standout in the middle to heavyweight division there at Fort Worth. I think that is a stout featured, big footed calf with big timepieces but he couples that with so much mass and dimension. What's yalls thoughts?

Reed (4:53)

Yeah, this kiff is without question in my opinion he's a class five through eight and maybe he's in that six to seven range, but either way I think he's a middleweight all the way at Fort Worth. And he has the super, super dense, dense thick hair. He's just the ideal show steer for that middleweight division. He's got that beautiful sil color to him, awesome feet and legs, massive body. I mean this thing is ridiculous body. And if you go check out the images, his mama is 93.53 and she's a Dakota gold hef cow. That is a big body, just incredible, impressive looking cow. Unfortunately she passed away this year. Fortunately enough we have several of her daughters held back. So this will be one of the last calves out of 9,353. But she has stamped out a few really, really high quality ones and I think this one might be the best one to date. I think this thing is an absolute hammer in the middleweights at Fort Worth.

Junior (5:54)

Yeah, no, I agree. He's got the big, big shag, the soft paws at the ground, he scoots around, is arrogant in his presence. You know, from the side he's that cookie cutter showster that we all draw pictures of. Right. I mean he's long necked, balance is awesome. From behind he's stout. I mean he was made to be paraded in front of Frank Ward at Fort Worth and I think that's what we're going to get again. One that we feel is a big time middleweight in that middleweight division. We found success year and we expect no less with this one because like you said, Weston, this thing fit up is going to look like a dream. And I think anybody would be excited to be on the end of the rope with this one. So we are fired up to see where he lands and I think it could be pretty cool to be part of the process to get an F on his cheek. So we're confident, we're excited.

Weston (6:37)

Yes, Sir. Well, lot three, this calf is a knock knock on Brian Martin's G149. And this calf goes back to multiple full sibs that have won a lot. But I do like this calf's proportions, symmetry, his hind legs, incredible hair coat is phenomenal. Think this calf at Fort Worth is a heater, but I also read him to be an awesome six year.

Reed (6:55)

Yeah. So this calf was raised by Jason Clotch. Jason and Brian Claude and at Two Step Cattle company and we're, we're partners with them on several different donors. And and so Jason and crew sent this out to us and he's, he actually made this embryo purchase from Brian. He set this thing down and we're like holy moly, this thing's awesome. And we asked what he was and he said he's a knock knock out of the G G 140 cow of Brian. And look the the champion short horn at Fort Worth is a full sieve to this cat. The Reserve Red Cross at at Austin this year was a knock knock G149. And there's a lot of other winning that's gone on with this G for 149 and knock knock. And so this Kev is no obsession obsession. He is his perfect colored, perfect proportion. He's got the big wide skull on him. He's cool necked, big, big bodied. He's very square hipped and proportional and gets out and glides. I think this calf is an awesome like maybe Class 8 to 10 at Fort Worth. But he can slick shear the same big time genetics here. Very, very versatile calf. I think this thing is. It's a bad to the bone yellow calf, especially this late in the year. You'll be hard pressed to find one as good as this one at the end of the year that looks like this. I really dig this calf a bunch. And we're very lucky and fortunate that the Claunch crew sent this one to us.

Junior (8:28)

Yeah, no, for sure. We're excited to have another dual purpose. One that you know, that fits into that limmy breed I think pretty easily. But one that's backed by proven genetics. Feet and legs are awesome and you know, if you follow the knock knock trend in Texas, that bull puts an awesome front end and big time pieces and it seems like those cattle get out and feed and do very well. Another one that we're excited to stand. I didn't mention on those last few lots but demeanor and attitude on these first three that we've talked about so far are awesome. I think they get along with anywhere from the first time feeder to the senior that's trying to have a big run going out. So no, we're excited and we do think this one could be a big time as well.

Weston (9:09)

Yes sir. Well, lot four is next. Another in God we trust sired calf.

Reed (9:13)

Yeah, this is a 2 step 55h miss marid which she's an onset out of the. Out of the black power play. I am legend cow of Curtis genetics out of Nebraska. And so this is actually a partnership cow that we own with two step cattle which is clutch. We've had multiple calves out of this cow that had placed at Fort Worth and oie. This calf was incredibly hairy. Very, very like barrel belly, very, very good feed, easy feeding kind. He is definitely very dual purpose. I think that in my opinion he's a Fort Worth gift because I know how hairy this thing was and will be. But the nice thing is this thing could go either way. This is proven genetics. His full sib was fourth place last year in the middleweight class at Fort Worth. And there was another one that placed the year before and there was another one that shown at OIE that placed really, really high as well. Again, out of this cow. Really, really good feeding kind of cattle. Those onset cattle on the bottom side. Done. And I think this calf is a very good calf. That's easy feed and that'll be hairy and that you can really press the gas on.

Junior (10:28)

Yeah, no, I agree. It speaks to the versatility of the calf because I see this one being like a slick shirt char all day. He had big hair but man, it's that thing just look and hind leg and balance and all that. I mean it'd be fun to see this one on the turf at San Antonio. We sold it here I am out of Miss Madrid last year and I guess it had been about this time in the sale we had last spring. That calf got along all year. I think he ended up being third overall at Pinal county out in Arizona this year, which is a pretty big time county fair out there. So again, proven genetics that that are that feed and are no stranger to success.

Weston (11:07)

Yes, sir. Lot five's next. This is going to be a next man up on the RVR9 over 112 female, which is a BDR on the CCS 1157 Shawar AOC option. I love this calf as a slick shearing machine. Huge backed, awesome hip and hind leg. Think his fore rib and back to his flank is going to progressively get deeper by the day. I love this calf's profile. What do you all think his best endpoint is? I think he's an awesome calf for San Antonio.

Reed (11:33)

I completely agree. I mean he is a slick shearing

Junior (11:36)

calf all the way.

Reed (11:36)

If you check out the images. 912 2. We actually bought that cow this past year from Brett Cody. Brett will tell you this was one of the best cows that he's ever owned. He actually just sold a sieve calf for a good chunk of change here recently. That was an incredible calf. This cow in the bottom side of this calf is flat out bad to the bone. This is a natural calf out of her and this one was a, a twin along with a heifer calf. And so he was a little bit behind for, for a minute and then all of a sudden he has really exploded. This calf is cool necked, good footed, big big back, has the, has that has that running gear that'll go forever and ever and that huge whooping belly. And if you go look at his mama on the images, his mama is the biggest bodied BDR that's ever walked this earth. I mean it's obnoxious how big bodied she is and that kind of feeds into this calf. I, I think this is one feeding son of a gun. Is he, is he a heavyweight? I'm not really sure. Do I think he's like a light middle to middle middle kind of in that two to four class, four range? If there's five classes, that's where I see it. So two or three probably weighing about 1350, 1375. Either way, very, very balanced calf that I think is going to feed incredibly well. And I think someone's going to steal this calf and really make some people look foolish because I think this thing is really, really nice.

Weston (13:09)

Yes sir.

Junior (13:10)

Yeah. No, this is, this is the kind of calf that a guy gets along with there at the very end and it kind of sneaks up from behind like Reed said as a cow. We got bought out of the revival sale last summer and we're excited to get her. She was one of our favorites that weekend through all the, you know, the, the bred cow sales that we got. We went through. She hit us pretty hard. And the fact that we were able to get her butt just kind of had her dropped her jaws. We were pumped. Like Reed said, this is a calf that was in her belly and, and one that obviously proves how versatile she is. There's a, there's a maternal sib selling and the sale that Dusty and I have a Weston, we've talked about that, that count already before and like, like Reed said there's another one that, that Rhett sold to to you know, their trader that I think will get along and make some noise. So all that to say 9112 is here to stay. I think she's going to be one that we will continue to go hard on and we're excited. Like Reed said, this is a Kind that feeds. I think this is a solid of a, you know, cell making calf from San Antonio Houston. And I think he fits in several different ways.

Weston (14:10)

Yes, sir. Well, lot six will be next. Another red elephant sired calf on a female you call 026, which is an NGO we trust. Troubadour Heat wave, Simmental Prospect. That is again a slicking machine in my mind. I love the calf shape up high. His power out of his pin set hip and lower stifle. And once again he's got an awesome build and some awesome feet and legs to go with it. Talk to me about what y' all think his best endpoint is in the background on him.

Reed (14:35)

Look, this is one that you need to go look at his mobile video which hasn't been posted yet but should be posted tomorrow or the next day. This Kev completely changes on the halter. I mean he, he straightens out his back, comes out of, out of his top line and out of his hip incredibly well. I think this is a slick shearing machine. His mama is bad to the bone. His full sib is the last lot in the cell, which I think is absolutely incredible. And then his last, his full sib actually sold in his last cell in lot two, which we think was flat awesome as well. This one is slick shearing all the way. He's got great, great paws, cool necked, big top, good, good bellied. I, I really, really like this calf. He's kind of similar to the last kept and I think someone's going to come up and, and get this kept bot right and make a lot of people look silly because the genetics are there, the build is there. Put this thing on the halter and again, look at that cell phone video when once it's posted, this thing completely changes on the halter. And I think, I think he's an awesome slick shearing type of calf and, and a semi. I mean who doesn't like a Y calf?

Junior (15:47)

Yeah, no, for sure. Like Reed said, full sieved a lot too. Then our last sale that got along well, that family's pumped and I think this one is just as good. I mean his lines are awesome, his balance is great, color is incredible and got the big squishy feet, maternal sieve of the last slot in the sale. So obviously 0226 is proving her worth. Calf's gentle shears. Awesome. Again, versatile in his size and type. And I think really you could push him and have him 12 o' clock anywhere from, you know, call it San Antonio to the Rio Grande Valley. I Mean, I mean, this calf hits a lot of. A lot of shows and has an endpoint that we're pretty fired up about.

Weston (16:21)

Yes, sir. Well, seven will be next. This is going to be an Angus prospect out of y' all sire my guy, which is a. May we all. Here I am on RJ422 on the Dame side. He's a 1 over 45, which is a. Here I am on Simon7. This calf is a little greener compared to some that we've talked about. Again, I've said this before. I don't think that works to his disadvantage because the calf's build is incredible. I think with a little tine elc a good family that knows how to feed can get this calf to 12 o', clock right where he needs to be. And calf's an awesome Angus prospect.

Reed (16:50)

Yeah, we like this calf. He's out of my guy, which is a cleanup bull of ours that we've used extensively for this next coming year. I mean, that bull is bad to the bone. And again goes back to RJ422's you know, famous cow. And then the 1:45 on the bottom side. We bought this cow from Ferris Simon, and she is incredible. And we're going to have a calf out of her in this next cell. That's an American prospect. That is a bad, bad cat. This is very good genetics on this thing. Yes, he's a little bit behind. I think he's built really good. He did have good hair. So do you try to get him to lightweights at Fort Worth and try that route, or do you go and try to slick them off? The fact of the matter is, is he's good body, he's got good legs. He's, he's, he's built right. He just needs a little bit of time and tlc and I think he's an excellent, like, project for, for, you know, younger family just to go and really press the gas on him. Because I think that this cat's got a lot of potential and has the backing Gen X wise to actually turn into something pretty nice.

Junior (17:58)

Yeah, for sure. Again, another dual purpose, one that we thought was just good quality, sound, practical cattle. Seems like you can always get along with the easy feeding one. And that's exactly what this calf is. You just pour the feed to him, watch him grow and get better every single day. Again, multiple endpoints. The calf's pretty quiet in terms of his attitude, so I think he can get along with just about anybody and one that we feel could, could catch A brand when it's all said and done.

Weston (18:22)

Yes sir. Well y' all change it up quite a bit and offer here a Hereford and y' all have done so in a, in a sale prior to this or a couple sales. And this can be a Carpa DM on the open bar.541 is a maternal sibling to the champion Hereford at Fort Worth of 2020 and 2025. This is a dense haired, stout featured calf that I think is going to be a very awesome show steer come Fort Worth time. I think this calf's got a lot of upside. What do y' all think?

Reed (18:50)

His mom has had had the Champ Hereford at Fort Worth in 20 and 25. So his mother was the dam of two champion Herefords at Fort Worth. And so this is a big time mating again. This is one that an embryo that Claunch, Jason Claunch and his family purchased and sent to us. And so it's a carpe diem out of the 541cow of open bar. I can't believe Claunch sent this one to us. We're not known to sell big time Herefords but the funny enough we sold one of the best Herefords I think this year in our very first sale. And funny enough turn around this third sale and we get another one and we're not known to sell Herefords. But what I can tell you is this thing is badass. And this is one hell of a Hereford horn Hereford calf that I think at Fort Worth or Odessa could really, really make some noise. He is big footed, big haired, wild necked and hey classes, huge swooping belly. I mean he's just made right. I think this thing is an awesome Hereford and I never say things like that. I'll be honest with you, if I, if I never had to raise a Hereford look at a Hereford again, I'd be cool with that. But this is a kind that I like. And, and you know what? This one's good enough to stand in our cell pin. And that tells you how, how quality I think this calf is.

Junior (20:15)

No for sure. When, when, when, when Claunch brought his calves over and he unloaded this one, I, I, I was like dude, what are you doing? Like why wouldn't you feed that one? He's like, I don't know, I'm probably crazy for selling him. And I guess the jury's not out. He might still feed this one but want see what happens. But we do think the calf is big time. Hair quality is incredible. Just seems like those cattle that are Born out and raised in West Texas do very, very well regardless of where they end up, especially if they go back to West Texas. But no, we think this calf's big time. Odessa, Fort Worth, it doesn't matter. Attitude's great. Every calf that's got horns in this sale has already been cosmetically dehorned, so they'll be ready to rock, including this one. So we're excited. Color's awesome. Attitude's awesome. Feet and legs are great. Plus plus on his demeanor as well. So one that we're excited about.

Weston (21:02)

Heck, yeah. Well, lot nine is next. And this is gonna be a There will be blood, which is a heavy duty overkill. Uno moss on the 194 female, which is a white walker on y'. All. 6067 Gert, ABC Prospect. And I know that there was an episode that someone put out about being squishy footed. This calf is real squishy footed and I'm on the tangent of liking squishy footed worms. I do like the cast, proportions, symmetries. His character is awesome. Big footed calf that I think has a lot of variety of endpoints depending on what area he ends up in. What is your thoughts?

Reed (21:37)

This was a junior calf, I believe this year, at least out of the Americans. And this calf, in my opinion, based on the way his build is and the way that, the way that he carries himself, I think this is one of the better or best American calves will raise or sell this year. He is big footed. I mean, obnoxious footed. This is the very first there will be blood that will ever sell. And so there will be blood. Was a bull that we bought from Colton Thibkin. He was raised by Mike Mushkin. And so this is a heavy duty, which heavy duty goes back to Chris Black, which was an in God we trust American bull. And so that this There will be blood. I mean, he is going to be big time good for us. And again, we purchased them through Thipkin and Mike Mushkin. And this bull is going to be big time. And he's a pha carrier. I think this Kev is a pha carrier, which means this thing is going to be stout. Stout and rugged. He is wild necked, big footed and just as arrogant. He, he's just, just so, well, well built and he's one that you can really, really press the gas on and make a big time. Either middleweight at Fort Worth because he had really, really good hair, or a big time girt at San Antonio or Houston. I'm a massive fan of this One, and I'm betting that he won't go for what he needs to go for, in my opinion, and he is going to probably make as much noise as anything that will sell this year. I'm a huge fan of this calf, and I'm really, really rooting for a good home for this one. What do you think, junior?

Junior (23:10)

Yeah, no, I. You know, this one hit me hard from the day he was born. He came out and looked like, you know, like the freaky little club calf crossbreds we all see, but had big ears and had a big sheath. And I was like, dude, I think we got him. These kind are very, very hard to make. Big fat legs, squishy feet, huge at the ground, choke neck, awesome hip and hind leg. Man, all this one needed just some time and some feet, and I think he's gonna make whoever gets him fired up and feel like you got a shot to, you know, to get to the rodeo, anywhere you want to take him. Hair quality was awesome. I do feel like at Fort Worth, in the middles, you could give them all they want, stick out like a sore thumb, but. But, you know, you could also know in the back of your head, it's like, hey, I've got a hammer of a girt calf here that. That I think we could. We could gear and be 12 o', clock. Whether it wanted to be a San Antone Houston, or try to go into ABCs at Austin. I mean, I do feel like this calf has big, big time banner potential. He's one that seems like everybody's come through, has checked off on the list, put two stars by, and I really feel like this could be one of the best feeding ones that we'll get to sell and stand behind this year. So one that we are extremely excited about. A cat that's extremely hard to make. Funny enough, I think when Reed saw this cab, he was like, yeah, we got to get that cow rolling and make as many of these as we can. So we. Did we flush trim? Yeah, I think we got several put in and several coming. So now we're excited.

Reed (24:31)

There will be blood.

Junior (24:32)

Is.

Reed (24:32)

There will be. There will be blood.

Junior (24:34)

He didn't waste any time trying to get one out.

Reed (24:37)

We're pretty excited. I wish people could have seen this.

Junior (24:41)

This for sure.

Reed (24:44)

We're pretty fired up on this one. And there will be blood.

Weston (24:47)

Yeah, I would be, too. Lot 10 is next, and this is an in God we trust on y'. All. 7,287 ABC prospect. That's really neat colored, to be honest. With you and reads to be extremely dimensional up high, shapely, bold, ribbed, has an awesome pin set and hip in him. What do y' all think his best endpoint is? I think he's an awesome slicking calf for anywhere between San Antonio and Houston.

Reed (25:09)

Yeah, I definitely think he's a slicking calf. He doesn't. I mean he's going to have little to no hair, but incredible color. I mean he is. I don't even know what to call it, but what I can tell you is he'll be the most unique looking American in his class. Regardless of what class he's going to be in. He is extremely stout. I mean big, big top, big big ass. It gets out and moves well. He's out of our 72-87-cow which had all of our high sellers this last, this last go around. He had our, you know, she had her $37,000 high seller or $22,000 seller. Had a first place Kev here at Houston this year in class two of the ABCs. She is about to really, really make a name for herself. I think this kept could be San Antonio. I think this kept could be really, really, really, really competitive and a lot of like, like American six year American shows at some of these south Texas county shows or Houston all the way out until, you know, any kind of June shows for, for county shows in June as well. And so he's versatile calf. He's going to be one of the stoutest animals in, in class and one of the most unique looking ones in class. So it's a very quality calf backed by very, very high quality dam.

Junior (26:27)

Yep. No for sure. He. So 10 and 11 would be full sibs. Be full sibs are a lot. 12 in the last sale that, that got a lot of attention. 12 would be maternal sib. So yeah, no. 7287. She's not messing around. Let's go around. We're excited. We went in hard. We're going to continue to keep going on that cow. And I sheared this one or quartered him, whatever you want to call. I guess I started a quarter him. I just thought, man, I'm just gonna go ahead and down shearing because it's air quality is never going to be great on this calf. Which thankfully four out of our five major shows in Texas, they're all slicks here. So he's kind of built for the, you know, for the sheeran market. It's weird. He's almost like cheetah print. It's pretty, it's pretty neat.

Weston (27:06)

That lot 11 is going to be a full sib to 10. But this calf's really, really impressive. Just like his brother. This is the fresher haired option. If you're looking for a Fort Worth one, I think this one could make that. But once again, stout featured, big footed calf that's extremely proportional. I love his presence but once again, I think this calf could slick and be just as competitive as his brother. What do y' all think?

Reed (27:29)

Yeah, no, this is a very good calf. Unfortunately he had a reset that was terrible. And, and honestly, out of all the 7287s we are selling this year, which are, you know, have been very, very high quality, we thought that this one might be the best one as a baby. And so ever since we've gotten them off the reset and pounding the feed, this thing is really, really taken off. He is big footage, short backed, great big, nice hair on him, soft, soft hair. So he could absolutely be a middleweight at Fort Worth and a yellow middleweight, big footed American at Fort Worth. I'm pretty sure Ward's gonna like quite a bit. He is neat necked and in big, bold ribbed and so if you don't want to take him to Fort Worth, this damn like this thing is really, really, really impressive. To be a GERD or an abc. Again, I think he's probably a middleweight ABC or Girt at San Antonio or Houston. Either way, this thing is built very, very good and he has got nothing but upside. Ever since he's gotten off his reset, this thing's really taken off. You know, I thought this one would be like a, you know, maybe our high seller in our cell when he's a baby. And so I really believe in the upside of this thing and I know where this thing can go. When they're short backed and perfect proportion like this, you can feed them to the gills and make this thing anywhere, anything that you want them to be. And I think this kept is very, very high quality. And you can catch a brand at Fort Worth or really make a run at San Antonio or Houston. Yeah, I like this Kev a bunch.

Junior (29:02)

Yeah, no, we thought this one for being versatile in terms of where you could show him, you know, obviously an ABC at Fort Worth or a Girt all the way down to Houston. Color is incredible, presence is awesome. Got the feet and legs design that we like, you know, for being a greener one. His, you know, just a swoop to his belly and underlying balance and all that tells you he's going to be a pretty easy feeding one. I think it's, it's not rocket science. I mean just pour the feed to him and watch him bloom. I think it's going to be awesome. So he's got a great look from the side, you know, just practical, good doing, easy feeding steer that's got a little extras that dang should get you noticed.

Weston (29:38)

Well, Lot 12 will be next and this will be a maternal Sid to the two we just talked about priority. But this will be out of the white walker bull. Again, another fresh haired calf that I think's got a variety of end points. I love his neck set and where it ties in the top side of his shoulder. Very, very proportional calf. What do y' all think his best endpoints are?

Reed (29:56)

Yeah, so this calf is a full sid to the first place calf at Houston in the class two at Houston. So that one was a White Walker 7287 and this calf reminds, reminds me a lot of that calf. I mean a lot of that calf. I mean he has got the cool show steer back leg, the wild wicked front end and he just, he's brindle. So if you really look at this kiff, he's a silver brindle which hey, he can't, you can't simbraw that. So since he's silver. But what it does is it really makes him stick out like a sore thumb versus all the other kevs in the class. He is wild built, cool, cool necked, big, big top. He's big, big footed as well. This thing is pretty, pretty wild looking. I mean he is going to be the coolest looking calf in the entire, the entire class that he's going to be in. Just because he has just got that amount of presence and arrogance. I think he's a middleweight at Fort Worth. If you do take him to Fort Worth I think you'll have good to decent hair that you can take into Fort Worth or you could go and make him a middleweight or a Class 3 or 4 at Houston in the ABC deal. But very good calf, good, good genetics behind him. I like this calf a good bit for sure.

Junior (31:13)

No, this one's killer from the side. I mean it's wild how long fronted he is and it's the way it comes out the top side of his shoulders. Pretty unique for that American deal. I mean he, he will be long and choke fronted his whole life. You know couple that with, with the balance that he has just in his top line and his underlying wishy footed again a full brother to the one that wins a class at Houston already. This go round, you know, as long as he ends up in the rat home, I think we can expect success here. And one that'll sure get you there. Attitude seems to be great too.

Weston (31:43)

Yes, sir. Well, 13 will be next. Another there will be blood steer that is extremely unique on yalls O10 cow, which is a Harriette, which would be a Fu Manchu on Doctor who garter. ABC prospect. Love his build, love his hair quality. I really love his ratio from fore rib to flank. I think the cap's an easy feeding one that just needs time. I would really love to see this calf in the middleweights potentially there at Fort Worth. But if y' all ain't comfortable with that, I really, truly would love to see this one on the turf at San Antonio being red colored like that.

Reed (32:16)

Yeah, no, this calf is built to be a middleweight. He's built to be a middleweight at Fort Worth. I mean if you think that, that he had hair right there, you should have seen him about 60 days ago. This thing was extremely hairy and just, I mean he's got a running gear like none of the other characters. I mean he is the soundest, you know, softest pawed walking animal that will go across, that will go across the ring whether it's today or at the end point. I mean this dude has some wills that are just God given and so you can press the gas on this thing and really, really make this, this calf hum and, and pump them out. He's just short back, big footed, sound sound stout and cool necked and he has got the wild looking color look. This is another There will be blood and this is a cow that I actually bought as a baby from Luking there in Nebraska as a baby and she's a black cow and she just so happened to have a red gene and then we flushed her to There will be Blood even though we've never had a There will be blood cath. And it was, it was just a gamble and man, that gamble really paid off because I think this is a incredible middleweight at Fort Worth. American calf that is going to be really, really hard to mess up. He's going to be easy feeding and he's going to be wicked, wicked haired and he's going to stick out like a sore thumb. This is a pretty awesome calf.

Junior (33:41)

Yeah, no, his color is awesome. Pattern's great. Balance is big time. Like you can tell in the picture and video his hair was incredible. I got a soft look. You know, we decided to quarter him just to show everybody, hey, he is an American. His hair quality Was so good we clipped him first and it's kind of hard to tell if he had right kind of sheath, but obviously he does and we didn't want to hide anything so we thought let's quarter him and let everyone see what he's got. Full brother there in lot 14, man, that just kind of goes to show how consistent that 010 Cal is going to work for us. She's obviously got a really strong red gene, but no, I mean this one's upheaded, he's shoot bodied, got a running gear that's awesome. I think this is one that you can tie into and have confidence in being, being confident going forward the whole way because he is one that checks a lot of boxes and does a lot of good things.

Weston (34:30)

As you mentioned, 14 is to be a full SIB 213. And I really push for anybody to check out his video because it's flat, impressive, fresh, dense haired calf that has awesome character. I love his feet and legs. I think the calf's got a load of upside for the future. Again, another high contending Fort Worth calf I think. But just looking at his full brother as well, I do think that he's going to again have the right shape to be a slicking calf as well if that's what someone wants to do.

Reed (34:56)

Yeah. So this calf was a little full when we, when we push him out to the, to the pitcher pen and so he's a little bit too full probably in that video. I encourage people come see this one in person. He is super, super soft hair. I think he, I think he is an awesome Fort Worth kiff. Is he a middleweight or is he a heavyweight? We'll see. He reads to maybe get a nickel bigger than his, his brother in Lot 13. This kept is backed by an awesome cow and there will be blood. And man, he's got really, really good feet and gonna have the big, big soft hair. He classes with no problems. And man, when you have a red American at Fort Worth and they're good, man, it is really is really, really hard not to catch a brand at Fort Worth that they're good and they're red. It's just very, very difficult. It's just very, very difficult to make red Americans with hair. And so here's your chance. We got two of them in this cell right now and I think they're both worthy of catching those brands at Fort Worth. And I think this calf has nothing but upside.

Junior (35:59)

Yeah, for sure. Another easy feeding, practical one that I think anybody'd be excited about. Like I said cool looking from the side. Great hair, great feet and legs. Don't overthink it again. Just pour the feed and watch him go. Watch him bloom. And I think anybody would be excited to be associated with this calf.

Weston (36:16)

I love the calf's presence. I love his silhouette from profile. Character is spot on a. I do love his hair quality on y' all highlight that so well. Talk to me what y' all think his best endpoint is.

Reed (36:28)

Read this calf to be a lightweight at. At Fort Worth. I mean, he will be insanely hairy, and he still is insanely hairy and he's shucked hair. I mean, he is very, very well built. The where the. How he. How high his neck sets on top of his shoulder blades is just wicked. And that fits war to a tee. He likes them to look like show cattle. And this calf looks like a Ferrari. He's just going to be a Ferrari that's going to be in the lightweights at Fort Worth. Someone's got to win the lightweights. I mean, ibb, his mama has flat out kicked ass for us. Has had several cell makers at Fort Worth. Already had several high sellers. We have several that will. I, in my opinion, will eventually hang banners. This calf is bad to the bone. He has a cool. He's got a cool head. He. He has a brangus head. And so if you wanted to show him his brangus all year long, he classes with no problems. If you wanted to eventually slick him, you can. He'll classes a brangus. I don't think there's any reason to do that because I think this thing was made to be at Fort Worth and lightweights at Fort Worth. And man, and I think he is going to clip and fit up like an absolute dream. This kept is very, very nice, in my opinion.

Junior (37:39)

Yeah, no, he's. He's eerily similar to his full sieve that would have sold a couple weeks ago in that last sale. Not 18. And them two are obviously flushmates. Full sibs cut from the same cloth. And. And again, like Reed said, someone's gotta. Somebody's gotta be holding the blue ribbon in the first class American. Why not try to get it done with this calf? He checks a lot of boxes. A killer from the side. Got that cool, swoopy hind leg that Ward likes. His hair's incredible. That cow's proven to be successful at Fort Worth already in the past had one this go around that we sure thought was gonna be a contender. And for unforeseen circumstances, he didn't get to have his day but all that to say that this one does class. I don't think there's any doubt. I don't think anyone has any doubt in terms this one getting in.

Weston (38:23)

Yes sir. Well, 16 is next. This is going to be a wolf on yalls 210 which is a data bank broker. And if there's anything that I could say or scream, it's this one is a boxy, square built made steer. I love this thing's density. I love his back shape. I love how square he is up high. In terms of what I read on photo and video, his head shape just screams girt. I think that this calf's hair quality just goes to say he needs to go to Fort Worth. But I think he's like this calf. He's going to be an awesome hammer. San Antonio Houston time.

Reed (38:54)

Yeah, this one was kind of an accident. I don't. We didn't mean to breed his mama to the wolf and whoops. It happened and it was a good whoops because this is a very, very high quality like lightweight American at Fort Worth. He's very and eerily similar to the calf up above him. This calf though reads to be very wide based and, and square and just short backed and big bodied. I mean his mama is bad, bad to the bone cow. That's a cow that we bought from Larison out of Indiana. That's a data bank broker. We're gonna, we're gonna create crossbreds out of her and is she just ended up getting into the American bullpen. I guess. Either way this calf is awesome. I think that he is a, a surefire like Fort Worth American maker in the riot home. He has really, really good hair and should look awesome in those lightweights in Fort Worth. You're right though. I think he slicks and his build slicks really, really well and I think he'd be an awesome like lightweight girt. Maybe getting to middleweight girts by the time you get to Houston. But either Class 1 or Class 2 girt at San Antonio Houston if that's where you want to go. But man he has dang good hair quality. So you'd be hard pressed not to take him anywhere. Fort Worth first and, and let him, let him go at it. This is a good calf. Very, very, very well built and balanced and short box, short backed and very, very good footed. This is a, this is a pretty safe calf.

Junior (40:28)

Yeah, no, for sure. It was kind of comical. There's a guy there looking at the, the set you know we sold before that this calf was There. And we, he'd been one that we hadn't clipped through yet. And he just looked like a, a fuzzy box, you know, and, and he's like, man, what's that? What's that bad of the bone black shearing one? I was like, what are you talking about? And he showed him to me. I was like, dude, that's an American. He's like, really? I was like, yeah. Now we got him clipped. You can tell obviously. His sheets awesome. Got the big droopy ears. I think he Americans all day, but, but that guy wasn't raw. That cap's built like a crossbreed. I mean, he's got a ditch rolling down his back. He's long and freak fronted, big squishy foot with an awesome hind leg. Like this calf. I do believe in the black crosses could get along. Not that it'll ever come to that because I agree with you, Weston. I think he's a guard all day and honestly needs to go to Fort Worth because his hair quality is incredible, which is kind of. It's different because he's, he should be clean on both sides. Nobody's got th type hair. It's, it's, it's pretty impressive. The calf's good.

Weston (41:28)

Very, very neat story for sure. Well, 17 is next. This is going to be out of the Bull Trust 287 on your 7375 calf, which is a BDR on the Ross 58. Bring us or Gert. Explain to me the dynamic of what breed you think he runs or classification details. But other than that, calf's length of neck, length of body in tandem with an awesome hind leg. I think the calf's got very different end points in terms of where you could land him. Hair quality is awesome for one. Reads like I think someone could have fun with him over the summer and fall in terms of hair coat. But I do would love to see this calf at Houston for sure.

Reed (42:03)

Yeah, this is a very, very high quality slick shearing kept in my opinion. But he has the soft hair, so it's like you're going to be hard pressed when Fort Worth comes around. You might be tempted to take this calf. I don't know if he's a lightweight or a middleweight At Fort Worth it really doesn't matter because, man, this kef is hard muscled and neat necked and big, big feet. I mean he's, he's very, very high quality. He's out of our Trust 27 bull, which is a silver bull and his mama is a s out pops her Natural calf. This black calf, which is pretty wild to us. I mean, he's 100 a trust 287. He's 100 out of that cow, obviously. And out pops his black kid. Doesn't matter. He's very, very high quality. We believe he classes brangus all day, but he's so. He's so. He. I think he's so awesome that if you get nervous about running them, bring us just run them gird. It don't matter. The black girt's actually dominated at San Antonio and Houston this year. So it really doesn't matter. Running. Bring us run him gurt. It doesn't matter. He's the kind that you can have fun with during the year because he should do a lot of winning because I mean he is built like a brick and the judges are going to love this Kev. I think this is a very high quality. Call it middleweight, light, middleweight, middleweight, light, middleweight, light kef that you can have fun with all year long. And this cow that he's out of is awesome. Goes back to the raw 58 cow that she obviously she's had the reserve grand. She raised the reserve grand steer Fort Worth for the scowls way back in the day. Great pedigree going back to 287 on the top side as well. I mean, I like this kef quite a bit. He's a very high quality calf.

Junior (43:49)

Yeah, no, the calf's obviously dual purpose bred in the purple, striking from the side and. And that's why we think he'll be successful all year long like Reed said. I mean, that thing in the lightway Branguses at Houston I think gives them all they want. The calf's cookie cutter. Just in terms of the way he's built. Feet are awesome. Got a big old foot that, you know, sits down a lot of surface area coming and going and no, this is kind of one that you just take the, you know, take the thinking out of it, make it easy and pour the feed and let it rock.

Weston (44:17)

Well, 18 is next. This can be a wolf on yalls 2056, which is a. Here I am on a Van Hoof Charolais donor and I get really excited when I get to look at kettle that have this kind of look from profile in terms of proportions and symmetry, but be that big footed and stout featured and still be mobile. I mean this calf just screams. Screams girt prospect. I want to go get a banner at a San Anton or Houston show. But still fresh haired. I do like the calf a whole lot of Think that an individual could have loads of fun with his hair in terms of full fit shows or things of that nature. But man, this thing slicked off, especially just the turn to his fore rib. It's so genuine. And talk to me about what y' all think his best endpoint is.

Reed (44:59)

Yeah, I mean, this dude has got a Cloudsdale foot on him. I mean, it is obnoxious how big footed and how big bone this animal is, but it doesn't make him look disproportional. I mean, this thing is going to fill out and feed out. This is the natural kef out of 2056. And 2056 was one of the highest sellers in the first class sale a couple years ago from Van Ho, which should tell you the quality because there's some a lot of high sellers that go pretty high in that cell. And this cow is. That he's out of is bad to the bone. She just can't milk, which is not shocking. She said, here I am. But she is built absolutely insane. Huge shack, huge feet. We put the wolf on her and you know, ta da, got this thing. Big feet, big hair, square built, odd wild neck. We were hoping he was going to be pulled. We were hoping that he was going to be pulled, but he ended up having horns and so he had a dehorn. It doesn't matter. This thing as a girt should be lights out and rock and rolling. I'm telling you, if the cow was a better milker, this might be the highest seller in the cell. She couldn't milk billy goat, my guy, she has no milk. And the fact that this calf even survived should tell you all that you need to know. All we need to do is FL pressure and not having calves out her because she has super, super quality calves. And I'm a massive believer in this calf and in the right home. I think this thing is going to do a lot of winning all throughout the year and look incredible as San Antonio or Houston. This is. This is one that gets our blood pumping big time.

Junior (46:40)

Yeah, no, for sure. Like I said, the quality of the cow is insane. Her mothering ability is not. This one's been a pet project for Erin Green, our show bar manager from day one. I think she was actually the one that, that had to like help assist this calf in coming out because his legs were so big and it like reaped it. It's obnoxious how big this thing's legs are. Couple that now with the time he's had since we weaned and cut him, it's like he hit the ground running. I mean, he's humongous bodied and you could never tell, you know, the, the, the, the robustness of his body because he was always so behind and skinny. But it seems like here these last turning 45 days, he's grabbed a gear. And like you said, Weston, he looks like he wants to be one that goes and wins something big. And I do think that cap is banner quality. I mean, he's, he's a girt all day long. But in the hair at Fort Worth, I think could look absolutely insane. So several end points, one that will always get along no matter where you take him. Like I said, I don't know where I would advise anyone taking him because I do feel like at Fort Worth he'd give them all they want probably in the middles and, and as a hammer by Houston time try to go win that deal and probably win in Handley because he. It's hard to put those kind of pieces and a calf that classifies as a girt. So now we're extremely excited about this calf.

Weston (47:58)

Yes, sir. Well, just as y' all pumped up about that calf, I think I'm just as pumped up about 19, I don't think. And this is not to diminish or talk down about any other calf we've talked about or will talk about, but this calf is just special. And I say that because it is so hard to make one that smooth necked at the top of his crest and still comes so square out of the back side of his shoulder and still be that robust about a center body and still have that kind of hip and hind leg posture and still be powerful and still be fresh haired. I mean, the calf just. I can't say enough about the calf. I am in love with the calf. I love that kind of build. I love that kind of look. Look, I don't think it gets better in terms of bring his prospect steers. I think anybody that gets this calf doesn't need to buy any other calf because you're gonna have to focus on this one full heartedly and go give them hell.

Reed (48:49)

Yeah. Yeah. I mean, he's like your hair stands up on the back of your neck when, when you raise animals like this and you know, one, let's just, let's start with his mother. And I'm a big donor guy, you know, like, that's the deal. It all goes back to mama.

Weston (49:05)

Mama.

Reed (49:06)

And this one's mama is like absolutely one of the most insane animals you'll ever see in your Life. She is a petri dish, mate. Full sit petri dish mate. To say no more to the bull. So the mom on this one is a. How great? 751 which is the. The Kelly clone. Obviously. 751 has many, many, many high sellers and great ones. And so this is possibly the first American that's ever been derived out of the. The 751 Kelly clone. And man, did she come out swinging hard. This is the very first calf that we've had out of our donor 40 that we own with Joe hair and, and man, we couldn't ask for a whole hell of a lot more. This thing is monster footed, wild necked, huge belly, big, big top. I mean he is an absolute freak show, but a freak show in a sense that he still likes soft made and easy feeding looking. I mean this is exactly what you would if you were drawing a perfect American show animal. It'd be damn near this one. And so if you are serious about the Brangis division, are you serious about the American division? You probably want this one on your team because man, I don't know. I don't know if, if there's very many out there that can beat this one. He is pretty flat out awesome and backed by insanely good genetics. And so yeah, he's, he's very, very special to us. He has, he had incredible hair and man, you're going to be hard pressed, not taking the Fort Worth, but man, I can't imagine him at San Antonio or Houston in the brain of steel. But it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter where you take them. It's going to take a great one to beat them.

Junior (50:48)

Yeah, no, for sure. It's, you know, we knew that we were probably onto something when, when, when Reed mentioned he was able to acquire a full sib to say no more. We're big believers in that bull and rightfully so. We've got three full sibs to him and like Reed alluded to this one being a legit flushmate to him. So we weren't expecting anything less. But man, the wolf didn't disappoint either. I mean when you've got a calf that's bred in the purple, backed by big time pedigrees on both sides, it's, it's, you know, it's. You can kind of take the guessing game out of it and just, and just hope you get the right one on the ground and boy, did we hear. I mean like you said, Weston, this thing in the Brangus division at Houston I think gives them all they want. You're gonna be hard pressed to find one that's. That's more competitive with that. His attitude's awesome, too. You know, sometimes the wolves can be a little arrogant, but this thing wants to be a show calf. He wants to win. Bold and robust in his center body, short back. That's how I like him. And humongous hip. Couple that with the running gear, that's awesome. I mean, I think this thing is going to be successful year round, and I feel like there's going to be a lot of people wanting to be on this Cavs team because I do feel like there's bigger days ahead of him. He's one that obviously we're pumped to have raised and we'll continue to try to put some more of these in.

Weston (52:06)

Yes, sir. Well, like you said, 20 will be a full sib. And I think this calf resembles a lot of what that calf has to offer as well. And I do believe with the right time and the right feed, supplements and everything, that calf's going to fill out in terms of his center portion of his body just as much as his full brother. I do like the calf a whole lot in terms of his build, his look from profile, I think he's got a lot of upside as well. What do y' all think?

Reed (52:30)

Yeah. So this calf. This calf just needs a little tlc. I mean, he is big ass and cool necked and it has an incredibly good running gear on him. He just needs a little bit of time on feed because if he gets that body and catches that body, it is like, game on. He is just as stout as his full brother ahead of him, and he's going to be big, big hair, but I think he is a slicking like girt or brangus, depending on which direction you want to take them. Either way, this thing is big. Big like big, big pig topped and stout, stout behind and. And can really get out and glide. He just needs a little bit of time. I think someone's going to steal this calf, get him settled down and, and really make some people look foolish for not buying him, because I think this calf's got a lot of upside. Yeah.

Junior (53:21)

No, I mean, there's. There's several things in this. This industry tips and tricks that you can try to lean on. But I think one thing that we can all agree on is the pedigree and the genetics behind them. And there's no, like Reed said, there's probably not very many Americans that go back to the Kelly clones and let alone going back to, you know, 75:1 or you know, full sibs of signal. More here obviously in the mother. So predictable genetics. I'd get on board on this calf and just hope that it all hits.

Weston (53:53)

Lot 21 will be next. This will be a war wolf on yalls 8111 cow which is a. Here I am on Irish whiskey, another brangus deer and this one is just as high quality, still fresh haired, huge, huge pin set, very, very powerful hip and lower quarter and stifle. I love his body shape. I love how his, his symmetry is from the profile. I mean, I can't get enough words to rack up in my brain just how high quality these black ones are. And this calf's a perfect description of what a lightweight middleweight bring his prospect needs to look like in the end.

Reed (54:26)

Yeah, so this kef, this kev, he kind of got a little bit full on us on picture day. I encourage people to come and take a look at him in person because he is big ribbed. He had the huge hair. His mom was one of the high sellers in went's dispersal sale back in like 2019 and she is a humongous haired. Here I am, Irish whiskey cow that we've had several high sellers in the past and several calves that have gone on and done well. This calf reads to be a really good slick shearing calf because he's got a huge hip in him and he's got the cool neck. When you jerk this dude's head up, he's pretty awesome looking. He's got an awesome head on him. Like he's got a great brainless classifying head. Big floppy ears with the pulled head and distance. Just looks like a straight up barangus in the, in the face. He will have big hair and I think he could probably be a middleweight at Fort Worth and have huge, huge hair. But either way, footworth slick shear. I think this is a very high quality kev that can catch a brand. I mean if he's also got the kind of build that you might do more than just catch a brand because he's built very, very, very well. He didn't picture and video the best on that day and I encourage people to come take a look at him because he's out of the wolf and he's out of 80, 81, 11 and I mean he's got incredible genetics and incredible build. Just needs to go to the right

Weston (55:55)

home and let him rock. Yes, sir. Well, lot 22 is next and this is going to be a Wolf on Yalls 1408, which is a solid gold Earhart 721. Another bring a steer and this one reads to be like an awesome slicking calf. I think he's big backed, he's going to be bold ribbed. He's got an awesome hip and hind leg on. I think this calf in Houston being a really, really nice heavyweight, that's what he reads to me. What does he all thought?

Reed (56:17)

Yeah, he's a easy classing Brangis calf that will be a heavyweight at San Antonio or Houston. The, the cow that he's out of is flat out bad to the bone. She's been owned by Mims, she's been owned by Earhart, she was owned by Jimmy Martin and then now she. Now we own her. And you should see some of the other calves that we have out of her that we already have on the ground for next year. Great, great pedigree here. This Cal has incredible wills. He's got very, very good presence and he's just a good feeding type of calf. These are the kind of calves that you see that go to the Brangis show and end up doing really, really well at San Antonio and Houston because they, they're just kind of bomb proof. They're built, built very good. They're kind of commercial looking in the way that they're built, but they come high out of their neck and they got really, really good feel. You know, push his calf pretty hard, make him really, really dense, and he's going to look like a badass heavyweight brain. This at San Antonio or Houston. So I think this one has an immense amount of upside. He is a little spicy on the attitude side. I think it's going to take a bigger kid for this calf, but I think that he has a good enough attitude that he'll be fine. But this one's going to be easy feeding and I think that this thing could end up looking like a hammer when it's all said and done.

Junior (57:37)

Yeah, no, for sure. You know, an easy feeding calf that that's practical on his build and bomb proof in his structure. Has enough look, I think, to get along and catch a brand and make somebody look smart next spring.

Weston (57:53)

Yes, sir. Well, 23 is next. This is going to be a gray fox on yalls 2130, which is a bet on Bubba. And this is an awesome Gert prospect. I think that he's huge ribbed. He's got awesome shape. I love his feet and legs. But more importantly, he is extremely stout feature and has a, a huge foot on him. I think the calf's gonna be really competitive as a slick and girt about San Antonio time.

Reed (58:15)

You are right. I mean this thing is obnoxious footed. Very similar to that black cat that we talked about earlier that was. That was the wolf out of the 2056 Cal. This one's very, very similar footed. I mean he is a massive elephant footed creature. His neck sets so high on his shoulder blade too. I mean he has the look, he has the presence, he has the big big feet and he has the really soft feeding look to him. This is out of a new donor cow that we actually bought from 111. She's a bet on Bubba. She was our favorite American cow out of their dispersal cell that they had this past year. And this is her natural calf that they had bred to gray fox which grey fox is in God we trust. 1203 horns famous 1203 calf while and so it worked. Gray fox on our new bet on Bubba. 21:30American donor and Bang this thing happened. He had incredible hair by the way. I don't think that you'd take him to Fort Worth because I think he's a slick share machine but if you wanted to, you can. He's probably a light to middle. We'll see how he grows. I imagine he'll have a good growth spur given the fact that he has that bet on bubble in him but you never know. I think he's an awesome like middleweight girt at San Antonio or in Houston and super easy feeding kind shows a good look and great presence. I mean his neck is wild once you put it up in the air.

Junior (59:46)

Yeah, yeah I know for sure. He's one that you need to see tied up to appreciate because he can get a little lazy out in the pen. Attitude's awesome feet legs are bomb proof stout from the you know, stout hipped, long fronted, easy feeding tire.

Reed (60:00)

Yeah.

Weston (60:01)

Yes sir. Well 24 is next and this is going to be a don't worry about it which is a no worries on yalls 22:19 cow which is a worth the weight 287 and I think this calf's hair quality screams hey, I think I need to be a lightweight or middleweight at Fort Worth. But other than that I if you're not thinking about that or he's not quite 12 o'.

Junior (60:20)

Clock.

Weston (60:20)

The calf's rib shape back shape in tandem with a really awesome hind leg leg that's got awesome posture to it will be a really nice sim bra or American ABC prospect at San Antonio Houston. I'd love to see the calf personally at Fort Worth.

Reed (60:34)

Yeah. So this calf, this is the first calf out of our donor 2019. And she's a worth the weight out of the, you know, the very, very, very well known 287 cal that's had a lot of banner hangers. So 2219 finally had her first calf. This is, this is him out of her Cavanese bull, which he's no slouch, he's damn good. We have a lot of replacement heifers out of them and out pops. This thing is like, damn, this is one of the best calves I've ever seen out of a Kevin east bull. And so we're pretty. That just fires us up about that cow. She is ridiculous looking and ridiculous, ridiculous ridiculous footed animal and just really, really cool looking. So he reminds us a lot of his mother. I think he has excellent hair quality to be a light to middleweight at Fort Worth. If you notice, he's got some like frosted white pieces on his face like his daddy, because his daddy's a black bronco. So you could class this calf technically as a cimbraw if you wanted to show him as a symbol all year. Fort Worth them or take them down to San Antonio or Houston if you'd like. Very dual purpose, very easy feeding time. Has incredible feet, very cool necked, short back, good body. There's just not a whole lot wrong with this calf. He is very, very balanced. Pull the feet to this thing and let him rock. I mean, his mom is a bad, bad, bad cat. If you came out to our pasture, out of 700 animals, she's probably one of the 10 that you'll pick out that you're like, I want to take that one home. So great genetics here. And I think someone's going to look very, very smart picking up this animal animal. Because I think he is going to get nothing but better over time.

Junior (62:18)

Yeah, I know for sure. Like Reed said, this one's mother would be a full sib steer. I guess it was. Actually Reed's nephew showed him. He was fourth in the middleweights at Fort Worth two years ago. And that cow be a full sieve. She's an up and coming donor for us again, our natural calf. And boy howdy, did she show up on her first one. I've always loved this calf calf. It's just hard to make a calf that classes that has that long and clean of a neck tight right there in his throat latch and still has the big ears and the big sheath hair. Quality is incredible. She's obviously dirty. There's some white points on the calf that I think will always keep you noticed. But no, like you said, Weston, I think this one has a lighter middle at forward.

Weston (63:00)

Yes, sir. Well, 25 will be next and there's only two to go. But this is in the beginning, which is a bullet y' all have been heavily utilizing on Yalls J, which is a get you some on the JRM09 cow, which this calf screams awesome girt prospect. I mean, I love this calf's neck set. I love how flat shouldered he is, how he ties that into an awesome full rib. Calf is heavy character, but that's not a bad thing. He classes so easy and awesome has really good hair quality. The calf's angularity is awesome. I would love to see this calf anywhere from Fort Worth to even Houston. I think he is really, really dual purposed.

Reed (63:41)

Yeah. Now, this calf had big shag and man, you are going to be. You're going to be having internal struggles come a couple weeks before Fort Worth because you're like, do we take him to Fort Worth or we slick him off and do Gertz at San Antonio or Houston? But he's that good. Like, he's a heavyweight at Fort Worth. He's a heavyweight at San Antonio. He's a heavyweight at Houston. It is very, very, very hard to build an American calf that comes out of, out of their shoulder blades like this one. He is wild looking. You should see him now without his horns. He's already been cosmetically dehorned and looks like a completely different animal. He is wild built, huge ass, big bellied and, and man, I think that this calf is, is. I think he's in the ride home. I think he could go chase a banner. It makes Gertz at San Antonio, Houston or you go to Fort Worth. I mean, he is going to have massive hair. So very, very dual purpose. Very, very wild built. This is a show pony. This is what a show animal looks like. Very, very hard pieces to make. It just fires me up. Not only about that cow, it's that cow's full brother. Actually, actually that, this, this J009 her full. Her full brother actually was like third or fourth in the heavyweights at Fort Worth about three or four years ago as well. So there's already genetics in there that they've already caught some brands back in the day. And then of course in the beginning on the top side, our Red Bull, that is a full sib to the cap that went Fort Worth for the caps a couple years ago. Reserve Grant overall, the red American. And man, he Is going to really be lights out for us. And so great Gen X behind this one. Wild Bill. I didn't even know how good this thing was until recently. Junior been telling me how good he was. I haven't been able to get up and look at these cattle as much as I'd like. And then seen him other day, and I was like, holy moly, this thing is real, real, real good. So fires me up. And, man, I'm really looking forward to seeing how this thing does, but I'll let Junior take over. So I stopped on talking.

Junior (65:43)

Yeah, no, this calf's interesting. He is a definition of the word freak just in terms of muscle. Pike reads at each huge hipped, big top. I mean, like, big tall. He landed playing on this thing's top right now. And, like, probably one of the freakiest necked Americans you'll see. I mean, it comes out of the top side of his shoulder like a cobra. And he is freaky. You know, I hope you didn't fall in love with the rope and steer horns in the video, because we did get those cosmetically removed. And the thing does look gangster.

Reed (66:11)

Now.

Junior (66:11)

He does have have big pipes, big feet, big features. He's stout, he's wide. Like Reed said, his hair was incredible. I do feel like this thing could look like an absolute unit at Fort Worth, but then again, sheared off in the girt somewhere. I mean, it's, you know, aside from 2056, a few lots ahead of him, there's not gonna be very many black girts show in Texas this year that have this. This kind of pizzazz and, you know, pieces. So now we're extremely pumped about this calf. Like you said, Weston, he's got plenty of character. I don't think you ever gotta worry about it, him not being able to classify. Yeah, no. This one gets me fired up. Attitude's awesome, too.

Weston (66:48)

Yes, sir. Well, this is the last lot. Lot 26. He's an in the beginning on the female. Y' all call 026, which is in God we Trust, Troubador, Heat Wave, which goes be a maternal tip, maternal sim to a lot prior to that we've talked about. And I sent a text in the group chat of me and juniors. Deal?

Junior (67:07)

Deal.

Weston (67:08)

And I said, hey, this sale looks bad to the bone. And he and Reed goes, check out the last lot. You missed my favorite one. And I didn't scroll down all the way. Well, unfortunately, fortunately for me, I did scroll down all the way, and I found one that I do believe is very, very, very high. Quality or ABC. This calf resembles actually a lot of what Lot 19 has to offer as well. Both very unique in terms of way their head carriages, where it ties into the top of their shoulders, how flat shouldered they are in relation to their full rib to flank. Calf's character is a plus plus. I love his hind leg. Very good hair that I think an individual could have fun with. But this calf has got to go to a slick show and outperform everything. This calf is very unique.

Reed (67:52)

Yeah, Junior, Junior actually FaceTime me when this thing was born and he doesn't do that with every animal. So we've known that he was special as soon as he hit the ground. You can't do that when you calve out as many as we do. And so Junior knew right away how special this thing was. You know, we think that this gold calf is, is insanely hard to build. He is wild, wild necked, I mean huge, huge footed and just big topped and massive, massive belly. I mean he is the perfect golden color. You know, these are the kind that are very, very, very hard to make and the kind that you, you just, you daydream about dreaming that you can make something like this. And we truly believe that this is one of the best animals that we've ever created. It's unfortunately he's not any hairier because if he was hairier I would say Fort Worth will be very, very, very interesting. Sure, you could take him to Fort Worth. He ain't gonna be quite hairy enough. But I'm telling you at San Antonio in Houston this thing look should look like lights out out class four, Class five ABC in that ABC show and really, really, really stick out. In the beginning our bull is going to be, he is going to be our bull, the bull, our go to bull, him and the wolf. We're just gonna keep it rolling, keep it rolling and there will be blood as well. But I'm telling you this just goes to show you what in the beginning can do on these clean in God females. Man, I, I, I can't say enough about this calf. I think, I think in the right home, the right circumstances, man this thing is going to be really, really, really hard to get around from, from day one all the way till the very end. He's, he's pretty special in my eyes.

Junior (69:39)

Yeah. And all like Reed said, these are the kind that we dream about making these, these are the kind that, that are extremely hard to make. And, and with that it's just one of those deals. It's like man, when you do finally get them. There's still so many obstacles yet to overcome in an operation the size of ours. We've seen it all. And sometimes just keeping these things alive can be, can be hard. And as producers, it's something that we fight all the time. There's always the ones that could have been or the what ifs. But with this one getting him to this point, we feel extremely, extremely fortunate. We're excited, we're blessed. We do feel like this calf has big, big days ahead of him. We're excited for his future, you know, all the way from the ground, having an awesome foot, a big legged hip and hind leg that are hard to construct and all that. With still, you know, the classifying in character. There's zero issues of him being an American. Like Reed said he could be at abc, he can be a Gert. The only thing he doesn't have going for him is his hair quality, which is fine when they're built like this because like I said earlier, most of our shows in Texas are slick, sharing shows anyways. And I do feel like this calf will hang a banner at one of the big shows in Texas next spring. I mean, it's so, you know, we gotta be confident in what we're, what we're trying to build here. And this one gets us as fired up as any of them. So we're excited about the calf. He's as good as he. As he looks in his pictures and videos in person. And then like you said, Weston is his demeanor, his attitude is awesome and it just screams let's go win every time we go. So, no, he's one that we're extremely confident in. He's one that we've continued to build, continue to try to raise as many of these sibs as we possibly can because we do feel like, like he kind of sets the standard in terms of what we're trying to create here at rvr. So we're excited about him and excited to join forces with the family that ends up with him because it's going to be a good deal.

Weston (71:29)

Once again, all I can say is I've always loved representing y' all in every sale that y' all have ever had to offer that empower u's been able to cover. And this one is definitely one that I'm going to remember for a long time. Not to take anything away from ones we've talked about prior to you, but this is a deep set, guys, and I think that there's a lot of potential for a lot of families. Have loads of fun in the future. And so once again, Junior Reed have done a phenomenal job. They're a great team. They're always going to take care of their customers to the best of their ability.

All I got to say is be the last one to bid and I think you're going to be a happy individual. Y' all got anything else to add?

Reed (72:11)

Hey, no, I just want to say that, you know, Junior and the whole entire RVR team, which there's a. We got a pile of full time folks that work at RVR as well as seasonal part time folks. I mean they have done a phenomenal job getting these things from, from, from birth to, to this cell. A plus plus plus.

And we're here to help these families and these kids to, to achieve as much success as they possibly can and fulfill their goals and, and what they're, what they're wanting to achieve. So we're here to help and man, we're, we're really, really fired up about this set and our future sets and things to come.

Junior (73:29)

Yeah, no, like I said, Westeller, we're extremely thankful for the opportunity to get to, to talk about these things on a platform as reputable as yours. And, and we'll continue to do so. We're excited about this set. Like Reed alluded to, we've got this set selling April 19th and then we've got one more round on May 3rd. So there's going to be several to come down the pike. Like you said, we're extremely, extremely excited about this set. We feel like it's really deep. We encourage anybody and everybody to come look at these things in person. I don't think you'll be disappointed. Conveniently located there there in Tolar, Texas. Yeah. So come out, like to talk about them, look through the calves, and we'll try to help in any way we can. So with mean. Thank you again, Weston, and hope to see everybody soon.

Yes, sir. Well, empowerment's here. Thank you all for tuning in. We'll see y' all next time.
