All right, guys, we got another preview, and I'm real, real excited for it. It's a neat opportunity. It's a great friend of mine, Mr. Garth Simpson, with Richland Farms. I'm really, really excited. This sale is what they call their embryo meltdown. They've got 96 lots of genetics to be offered to you as a buyer or for the public. And I know they're real excited. There's a lot of neat stuff in this sale. And so what I like to do with that is, Garth, introduce yourself to the listeners, have everybody get to know you a little bit, and what y' all do there at Richland Farms, and then we'll dive into the lots.
B
Awesome. Thanks, office. First of all, thanks for having me, Weston. I really appreciate it and quite the opportunity here to do this with you. I'm Garth Simpson here with Richland Farms out of Trent, Texas. We raise show steers, show heifers, sell a lot of embryos, a lot of donor cows, have a couple bread sales a year, show steers, kind of the. Kind of the whole ray of everything on the show cattle industry. So we're getting this sale here on February 15th, and we're going to call it the meltdown sale. And basically we have a very large surplus inventory of embryos and going to offer them to the public, no reserves, and get some of these things out there and get them in guys, cows and on the ground, and let everybody else have the opportunity to raise some of their own cattle.
A
Awesome. Awesome. With that said, what I'd like to know, with everything that you just stated, what was the decision behind having a sale like this and releasing so many embryos?
B
We've been selling quite a few embryos, you know, the last probably eight years online here on SC and kind of since our move to Texas from Indiana, shift more of our focus to getting more live calves on the ground and, you know, not having so many embryo sales. So we're going to try to cut back on a little bit of our overhead inventory on, you know, the cows that have really been working for us and the matings that have been working for us. And it's kind of like everybody else, you know, we have so many embryos and just a limited number of receipts and trying to get them utilized and on the ground and, you know, in the show rings. So just a lot of embryos and not enough recips. And so we're gonna. We're gonna open this thing up and. And get them out there to everybody. Is is the plan awesome?
A
Well, to start off with lot one. You got some sexed female embryos. Four of them up for grabs. They're out of 24 carat sexed females. And they're out of yalls donor that you'll call 5722. Talk to me about the mating, what they go back to and what that embryo or mating has done for y' all there at Richland farms.
B
So this mating is out of a Huda man 6640 calf from Sullivan. She is the mother of actually the last two heifers that my daughter Harper has showed. One we showed here in Texas, and then the other one we showed up in the Midwest and we're still living there and had quite a bit of success with both of them. So these are maternal sibs to those two females. We showed those females were out of primo. And these are out of 24 carat. That one we showed here in Texas. She was grander reserve key at every Texas major. The only two times she lost was to the supreme heifer at San Antonio in Houston. So she has actually that. That female we call Marty. And she has entered our, our donor lineup now as well and doing a really good job for us. These are the last of the 5722s that we will ever offer.
A
Wow. Awesome. Well, with that said, lot two is next. You got some more sex female embryos to offer. Two of them. They're both out of the djs outsider which are all sex female. And then audioalls donor's name Jalen Rose 8249. She go back to what is that donor done for y'? All? Obviously you list there that they'll be registered as 75% key. And there is a red gene possibly happening when they buy these embryos. So talk to me about why y' all are offering them and what the cow's done for y'.
B
All. Yes, we've had some of these matings actually born and we've had some solid reds and then some roundup shorthorn colored ones. The Jalen Rose cow, man, that cow has probably done more for me in this industry, in this business than anything I've ever owned. Just. I mean, she's wrote a legacy of her own on the steer and the female side. We lost her last two summers ago. Now we actually have two clones in production on this female right here. She's done it for a long time. 18 years to be exact. We lost her at 18. And that thing is, she just. She's so unique. And to have one that is built like her and able to kind of just transform with the times. And as the industry changes. And it's hard to find a female that can do that. Not only on the steer side, but the heifer side. And just be so consistent and put good cattle on the ground just day in and day out. And she's pretty well worked. Everything we've done her to. I know we got a couple lots on here. The, you know, scroll down to that next lot. We got some perfections on sexed out of her. I've had a couple of those same deal. We've had some reds, some round up shorthorn colored stuffs. Both of these, the lot 2 and lot 3. Will actually dual register high percent key. And Shorthorn pluses and them. Things have been very good for us. And then kind of talking about the mal side of stuff. Scrolling down to the next lot on Lot 4. This is the last mate or embryo I have on this mating. It's a Fu Manchu sexed male. We've had a lot of success over the years with that mating on her. And those things will actually register over 18% key. So a possible, you know, bull mating option on that one. We've had good females out of that deal too. On we've done her unsex that way too. Has worked really good for us. And kind of the most intriguing lot, I think maybe out of the lineup here on the Jalen Rose side is the Dakota Golds. And I haven't had any of those. I flushed her that way a couple years ago. And I haven't got any of them things in. But she's worked really good to some club calf bulls like mab and Monopoly. Food out great and stuff over the years. And you know, Dakota Gold had his time and really made some unique cattle. And I think that's a very unique option on that cow. And these are all out of the original Jalen Rose cow. We don't have a clone in production yet. So these matings that we're offering on her are truly one of a kind. And the last of their kind out of the Original Jalen Rose 8249.
A
Awesome. Well, moving along into Lot 6. You got some sex female troubadours out of yalls cow y' all called skelly. Obviously she huge, huge deal and yalls operation. These will be maternal sibs to cattle that y' all sold consistently for 10 to 20,000 over the last five years. Talk to me about why y' all are offering some of the embryos out of her. And some of the Bulls that y'.
B
All have mated her to Skelly again is. Is a donor that she's actually still with us, unlike Jalen, but has been very influential in our program and what we built around. I have several daughters that were flushing out of her that are doing a tremendous job for us as well. And a cow that has also worked tremendously well on this deer and the female side of things for us. I have one of these troubadour females in production. I mean these things out of Skelly are just lights out good. I mean they're stout, burly, big footed, awesome looking cattle. We're offering two of these out of her. So these will be. These will be more of like a club calf donor, you know, type mating on her. And then scrolling down, we got some bogarths out of her. I've had several of them things pictured. There is a daughter that we actually sold in our December sale donor that we flushed on a little bit. Had some really nice stuff out of that one. And I have two more of them sisters in production in our place right now. And those are actually dual register, actually triple register if you count the low percentage semi, the low key. And then there'll be half blood mains on that mating on the. On the Garth mating. Then we have some 24 carrots out of her. And probably consistently over the years as far as female production, these Angus bulls have worked really good on her. Probably some of my females, favorite females we've ever had out of her have been Angus sired. Sold a really nice one to Luke Doris there a couple of years ago that he's got working up there in South Dakota in his program right now. Just good bodied, soft made, good structured, good looking cattle on these Angus side ones. And again you'll get some registration out of that with the low semi and the low key back on that thing. So if you wanted to show them, they got that key composite breed now at most of the major shows. And then similar to the Bogarth mating, I flushed her to Bo Gronk and pictured. There's another one that we sold in our December sale to a good customer of mine out in Utah. We partnered up on her and getting ready to start flushing on that one. She just laid down and had a really nice apex heifer that we're pretty excited about. Looks good for a young baby. That's the last of those. We got one embryo we're offering. That's the last of those. What we have on Skelly on that mating right direction in Lot 10 on that cow kind of a different one here. Skelly's got a red gene. And I always wanted to play around with the shorthorn side on her, you know, just making something a little more unique and different. And when I made the decision to flush her that way, I thought those things could make some very interesting, you know, club calf, throat horn colored donor cows. And the first ones that we had, my partner Josh Winslow up in Pennsylvania had that one and was, I think that was his high seller in his his fall sale this year. Was that one out of that right direction of a Skelly. So got a little color there. I'm gonna make some really good females on that mating. We are offering three of those on her. And again you'll get triple registrations out of her with your shorthorn plus the low keys and then the percentage semis on her as well. The next one, lot 11 Skelly, I flushed her back to Houdeman. So Skelly's a steel force out of Kelly, which is a houda man. So I doubled up the houda man on that. We've had some of these. These are unsexed embryos. I've had some bulls and I've had some heifers. Obviously those who to man cows over the years have just made tremendous donor cows across the country for a lot of different operations. So I don't know, it might be crazy to you know, kind of line, line breed the hooda man there. But she's so soft middled and easy keeping. I think the huda mans really work on those types of cows. So got a little crazy and did the whoda man on, on that mating with her. I'm offering four of those. The next one down. Getting into some sexed male embryos here on her book 45. A little bit of a new mating that we did on her. I grew up just down the road from Tom Farr up there in Indiana. Pretty influential breeder in my life. You know, growing up there and seeing their stuff attend their sales over the years. Saw that Colt 45 bull in person and you know, really liked, liked that bull and did Skelly that way. And there's a baby calf picture there things actually three days old, but looks pretty intriguing for being a young baby like that. And that's the first one we've had out of. Out of that mating. And that's another one that will offer a red gene as well. So potentially get some shorthorn colored stuff out of that mating on her too. And then the newest mating I have on her Is this trust and obey bull of Wade and Kevin's. And so I haven't had any of these yet. And I've actually never done her to you know, a smoke colored club calf bull. So these will kind of be the first of their kind out of Skelly. Which I think will be pretty neat. I've seen many of those tres and obey calves and like them pretty good. I don't know if you've seen any of them, Weston.
A
Yeah, I've seen a lot of them. And they always come out real dense hair, really big footed and always have a real big hip on them. I really like the way that they're looking as well.
B
I think that's a bull we're gonna see. See more. More use of here in the. The show steer side of things. And obviously Kevin doesn't keep. Keep a bull. That's a bad one. So pretty excited about those. I got some of those coming next June for our calf crop as well. And I think those are going to be very intriguing animals for sure.
A
100%. Well, now that we're done with the scalies on the lot 14. You have some embryos up to offer out of yalls cow you'll call Meredith. And these would be embryos of two that are sex female. At a next level they'll be 75 Simmental. Talk to me about her and why y' all are offering embryos out of her.
B
So these will actually be purebred. So Meredith is a three quarter blood. And again she is actually. She's a broker out of Skelly. So the cow we just discussed there. That's been very influential on our program. We did her to next level. I've had some of these and have sold some of these. And they've sold very well for us. Had a couple black baldies and a couple red baldies out of this mating that have done very well in numerous programs around the country. Actually had a good customer. Mine bought a package of these from us here a couple of years ago. And he sold one of them for I think 8,500 is what that heifer brought in his sale. And then she went on to have a pretty good show career. So Meredith is no longer with us. So these are the last two embryos on that mating that I have out of this cow.
A
Awesome. Well then move along. There's lot 15. These will be sexed female embryos. There's four of them out of style. On the donor that y' all call Princess 999C. Talk to me about Why y' all are offering those? Obviously, the cow is th carrier. Oh, she's triple dirty. Oh, wow. That's cool. So with that said, do you. What does she go back to? What do these look like? Have you had some out of this mating?
B
Yes. So actually, that. That female pictured there is a style out of the princess donor of ours. And princess. So should we. Actually I own her with Terry Lockhart in Oklahoma. And, I mean, she had a tremendous show career up won the show heifer point series up there for Parker and Kennedy Lockhart that year. And then we got the flushing on that cow. And as many cows have, you know, that I've flushed over the years and had in our program. This one's probably the most consistent as far as just, I mean, sheer quality every time. And, you know, we've done her a handful of different ways here. She actually had the third overall heifer at Cattlemen's Congress in 2025. That was a primo out of her. So these will be closely related to that mating. This particular mating that heifer pictured was division champion at Kansas City. We've had several, you know, that have sold for 25 to 40,000. Sold a couple in griswold sales. One of Sarah Sullivan. And this female's just been lights out for us the last couple years and getting some different matings put up on her now. Um, my daughter Harper actually has heifer out of her that we're going to show at San Antonio and Houston here in a couple weeks. That looks very good. Right now. We're excited to get her out and see what she does. Scrolling down the next lots, another Angus sired lot class and a little older bull, but one that, for his time was tremendously good. I think maybe got a little overshadowed by style and primo and then some of them other bulls that come along. But that mating's been good for us that side of things. And then getting down on lot 17, these will actually be a high main mating on bo gronk and sold one of those in our fall sale this year. Like the bo gronks, they're a little stouter, made earlier type for a high main. These things will definitely make steer mamas show. After mama's kind of whatever a guy wants to do with them, they're going to have a little more punch to them. And they're kind of the real fun cattle. I like, like the gronks quite a bit. And then the lot 18. These are force of nature sexed females. Just had a couple of these born the other day. So Force of Nature is actually a purebred Charlay bull. So these will be dual registered calves on this one. So it'll be Charlotte composite and then maintainers. And the ones that were just born the other day had kind of a light cream smoke colored one and then a yellow colored one. And they look pretty fun for. For newborn calves. We're offering four of those on her. And she does have a red gene as well. So she didn't get any rat tails or anything like that out of that mating.
A
Awesome. Well, then Lot 19 is also out of some sex female icon. Have y' all had any mated matings of those hit the ground?
B
We have had a couple of these. Actually sold a package of embryos. And they brought now the main exchange sale there in OKC a couple of years ago to Wayne and Barb Ulrich, they there in Nebraska. And they had a couple of these in their fall sale two years ago. And they sold very well for them. You get a little color, maybe a little baldy out of that meeting with her on that mating. And then that is the last of that cow family that we're offering in this sale.
A
Yes, sir. Well, in lot 20s next, obviously you have a couple lots here that are indicative to Yalls Dixie donor. The first one is out of next level and it's sexed female. Talk to me about Dixie, what she's done for y', all. And then we'll run through all the sires that y' all have embryos offering.
B
Yes. So Dixie was one that I talked about actually up there on lot one. So these will be maternal sibs to lot one. The Dixie cow is. So she's a primo out of that 5722 donor that we have there in the lot one Dixie we showed at Louisville and then Cattlemen's Congress. And she was reserved senior yearling at both of those shows. I just sold her and my December sale. And so this mating right here is next level sex female. So these will be half blood semis and low percent keys. We've had a couple of these around the country. Different customers that bought embryos from us on her. And those have looked really good for those guys. They've hit the show ring have done well. The next one is endgame sexed female. Another one that I've had a couple of these. I actually think I need to go back and look at that. I believe those are unsexed when I did her that way because we've had a bull calf out of that mating too. So these will be Dual registered low percent key and maintainers out of that in game bull from Jones Cattle company there in Ohio. That's done really well on the show heifer side of things the last couple years. And then the next one we have out of her, the last lot we're offering three something about Mary sex females out of Dixie. And also had some of those hit the ground and hit the show ring that have done well and sold well for different customers around the country. And if you look at programs, you know, Sullivan's and you know all the females, they've had those primos back on their Houdin man. 6,640 cows. You know, they've had a bunch of these as well that have done well. And you know, seeing the success they've had, that's why I'm flushed her, you know, to these Scimitol duels. And it's worked tremendously well for a lot of different guys around the country. And this one, you know, I think Dixie's pretty special for that pedigree and you know, that bloodline and as good as anything that I've probably ever had in our barn.
A
Lot 23 is next. And you got a couple lots out of this cow that y' all call Giddyup Girl 61 99. But the first one to offer up is four out of sex female of Woodford. Talk to me about the female and then we'll go through the sires of the embryos.
B
So it's another one I own with Josh Winslow up in there in Pennsylvania. We call her Gigi around here. And so she's a loaded up out of that great Serena cow from Trena Pools. We're offering four Woodford sexed female embryos out of her. So these will be purebred. Woodford's a newer semi bull on the market. That calves have been looking very good. I haven't had any of these yet. So this is a relatively new mating on her. We actually lost Gigi this summer. So these all these matings that we're offering on her, this is the last of the inventory that we have. And we're offering everything that we have left in the tank on her in this sale. So we got some Woodfords on that lot 23. We got two 24 carat sexed females. So these will be some Angus females. And then I've had a handful of those that have done really well for us over the years. And then lot 25, probably the most consistent mating we've had on GG are these copacetics. And I mean, these things have sold very good for us. We've sold a handful of them for upwards of 20,000. Sold some really good programs around the country. They've done well in the show ring. I like that mating quite a bit. So those are the last. We're offering four embryos on that copacetic mating. And those will be the last that we have on Gigi. And then the last lot we have on her is this lot 26 with one sexed female. Something about Mary. Gigi also has a red gene. So some of these bulls, Woodford and Sam, we've had some red Sams out of her, some red baldy Sam's out of her as well. So another one that you could get some color and on a purebred package for the Sematol matings for sure.
A
Well, then 27 is next. And these are going to be out of y', all, the donor that's called Sweet Jam x141N. Obviously these are going to be out of sex female primo. So talk to me about the cow and why y' all are offering embryos out of this mating.
B
So Sweet Jam, actually, we bought her. We bought this cow when she was 12 years old. And a cow that is. I think she's number two or three in the Scimitol registration book of all time. Recorded progeny, actually. So she has had a very long career of making very good purebred scimitars. These are the last three that we have to offer out of her. And they are primo sexed females. So these will be another Semangus mating on her. And kind of the neat thing about this cow, she's actually a maternal sister to Broker.
A
Cool. That's really quantum leap, lover boy.
B
I mean, there's. Yeah, dude. Norse. So there's a lot of. A lot of cow power that goes back in that pedigree on this cow side of the family. And haven't had a bunch of these. But obviously there's been a lot of calves born out of this cow that have done well over the years for different operations. So offering a more unique mated lot here on those primo sexed females. I really like the primo cows. Obviously we just discussed that up above there on that Dixie female. And those things going into production around the country, I think are making a name for themselves and doing well.
A
Yes, sir. Lot 28 is next. Obviously these are going to be out of style. They're sex female over a cow that y' all call. Is it Cali or Kaylee?
B
Yes. Yeah.
A
Kelly Cali, registered, Registered databank, right?
B
Yes. Yep. Calypso. And she is a. She's a flushmate sister to the great data bank. This is the last one I have of these. So style sexed female. And these will actually be full sibs to the heifer. That was, sorry, maternal sibs. Iifer was a primo. These will be maternal sibs to the heifer. That was the east coast show heifer of the year there a couple years ago. So we got one of those. And that is the last embryo I have in the tank on Cali.
A
Awesome. Well then lot 29 is next. These are unsexed full sibs to end game. So talking about how you acquired these and if you've had any cattle come out of this mating.
B
Yes. So Harmony is a flushmate sister to endgame's mother. So these will be full sibs and blood to endgame. But we discussed a couple lots above there as well. These are on sex. So you could get, you know, a full sib and blood bull to end game or full sib and blood female to end game. We lost Harmony there a couple years ago. Actually bought her out of a dispersal sale. Brian got a Miller there in Indiana, owned part of that cow. We were lucky enough to get her bought out of that dispersal sale that she was in. Got a couple different bulls we flushed her to have had some really nice stuff out of her. I've had some of those, these matings in particular out of her and have done really well. Christian bred well up there in Oklahoma's got a really nice young female that he's flushing on. That's a full siber. These. And then the next lot, lot 30, a little different twist. So these will be dual registered maintainers and sim solutions on something about Mary. And those are last five sexed female, well female maternal embryos we have on Harmony.
A
Well then the Next lot, lot 31, these are going to be unsexed draft picks out of a donor that's called black cap 740C. Talk to me about the cow. There's four up to offer. These can be Angus embryos.
B
Yes. So this actually, if you look at the above lot here, that cow Harmony actually goes back to a really good draft pick, Angus female. And I actually acquired these embryos and man draft picks way before my time and your time, I know that much. So you know, he's a little bit of a legend within the industry. These young bucks, you and me, probably don't know a whole lot about draft pick. But I know they made really Good females. And you know, these are little, little older embryos that I've had in the tank and probably never going to get put in. So I thought, heck, we'll offer them up and see if somebody wants to bite on them and try something a little old school. So we're offering four of those on the Black Cap 740 Sea Cow, which is a purebred Angus female. So these will be draft pick unsexed. Might get some males, might get some females out of them.
A
Lot 32 is next. These are gonna be sexed female embryos out of Gronk overalls Cal that y' all call Hottie. There's one embryo up to offer. Talk to me about the cow and how you've seen those matings do.
B
Yes. So the O. Gronk bull again, another one that I like for making females. He's done very good on the female side of things, but more so in making steers off of those females. So I flushed Hottie this way before I sold her to my good buddy Jay Mitzner up there in Indiana. And Hottie traditionally over the years was primarily used to make, you know, scimitol shell heifers. And she had a really good run at that when I bought her. I did her to couple different, different bulls outside the Scimitar breed. And Gronk was one of them. And I've had a couple of these females on the ground. We' nice broccol faced ones out of her and make tremendous females. So this is the last sexed female embryo we have on that beau Gronk mating and the last embryo I'm going to offer out of this cow. So this will be the last one ever on Hadtie. Hadi passed last year. And there'll be very few of these probably ever offered again to the public.
A
Lot 33 is next. These can be sex female embryos, four of them up for offering out of one for all over. Voodoo. Talk to me how you acquired these and matings that you've seen hit the ground.
B
Yeah, so Voodoo actually story about Voodoo, she her mother. It was the first cow I ever flushed. And so my dad and granddad, I think I counted back the other day how many generations we had bred this cow family. And I think I come up with six. So kind of just a neat story of a little bit of where we got our start. Voodoo's still with us. She was born in 2014 and another one that the Lockhart family in Oklahoma showed. It was actually Parker's first year showing. And Parker is a Sophomore in college now. So little, little trip from the past there on this voodoo cow, but man, she's been, she's been a really good one for us over the years. I've traditionally made steers out of this cow, but here in the last couple years I've gone to making some female matings on this cow and they have been very interesting animal. She's probably the, the absolute hairiest female I own. And when I first sent her DNA in and had her tested, she come back triple clean. And I actually pulled hair four different times and sent them to four different labs because I didn't believe for the life of me that that cow could be clean.
A
Right, awesome.
B
So that one's a one for all these will be maintainers and key composites. And then our next one down we have some good as it get sexed females. I've had a couple of these. I've had some black and white ones and some red and white ones. So another fun thing about voodoo, she does have a red gene to her. So those ones, I like those ones going back in production, you know, making cows. I think that as good as it gets, females have really showed their worth in production over the last couple of years. The next one we have another sexed female mating on Voodoo. These are wizards out of her. It's, I think wizard is probably one of the all time greats and female makers and shows to your mamas and Van hoes have had a tremendous, tremendous run with those wizard females. And that is the three sexed female maternal matings we have on Voodoo. We do have some sexed male matings on her further down the sale here.
A
Well then lot 36 is next. These are going to be sex. Females bow epic out of a cow you'll call a Leia. Talk to me about what the cow's done for y'. All. Obviously you're offering multiple embryos out of her.
B
Yes. So we have a couple, couple different sire options on this cow. So Aleya is actually a full sister to all me's mother, a purebred main bull that's had a pretty good run here the last couple years and think one that's probably changed the direction of the main breed a little bit. So I had an opportunity to buy into this cow and she was 10 when I bought her and she's still with us. She 13, 14 years old now. And that picture is actually from November of this year. So that picture of that cow is at 14 years old.
A
Wow, wow, that's impressive.
B
So that one we got here Some bopics. These will all be purebred matings on her. We're offering four of those. We've had some of those on the ground that were kept back into production on that one. And then the next one we have is a Beau Gronk. We've gone over that pool a couple times. I like him a lot for the female side of things. Another mating that would be a purebred. And the next one in games, which we talked about, that bull. And these are sexed females. This will be another purebred mating on Aleyah. And we're actually offering five of those in this lot. So be an opportunity for someone to, you know, get. Get a few more embryos and what's typically offered in genetic sales and, you know, hopefully get two, three, four calves on the ground out of that mating. And then the next one we have, these are Memphis Mafia sexed female. Be another purebred mating on that cow. Obviously, that Memphis Mafia semen is pretty hard to get ahold of. I have not had any of these Memphis Mafias out of her, but I like that bull quite a bit. And what he's done and he's worked really well on some of my other cows. So what we got five different sire options here that'll all be purebred main progeny out of that Leia cow, who's a full sister to all me's mother.
A
Well, in lot 40 is next. And these are. There's multiple that are out in the cow that you'll call Whiskey Rose. She's super impressive. I love her picture and I love her build you got. Starting off unsexed, good as it gets. Talk to me about the cow, and then we'll go through the sires that y' all have to offer up on the embryos.
B
Yeah, so this is another one that we showed down here in Texas a little bit. Actually. You'd probably seen this. This female a little bit when we were showing her. So she is a.
A
Yes, sir.
B
She's an Irish Whiskey. And out of that jalen rose 8249 cow that we talked about up above there. Um, so these will be good as it gets unsexed. So get some bulls or heifers out of this mating. We're offering three of those. And another one, I think would make some tremendous herd sires or, you know, donor cows to go back in the herd on that. Probably going to get a pretty high chance of color out of her. She's got a red jeans. I mean, who knows what you're going to get color wise on that mating. Have a couple different, you know, registration options on that one as well. There'll be maintainers and low percent keys on that one. And the next lot we have here is out of that crossover bull that's really made a run of things here for Cardinal Cattle company there in Illinois the last couple years. So these will be. And these will be over like 13% key registered bull on this cow. And another one that I haven't had any of these yet. There'll be some born this spring actually out of her. I'm really excited to see how those things look based on the crossovers I've seen the last few years. And then the lot 42 of actually out of a bull that we raised called Players Only. So Players Only was a bull I sold a Nelson England. He was a prime tom out of a Garth Princess. So that Princess cat we talked about up above there, a little different. You know, I wanted to try to highlight some of our genetics that we've been using and breeding, you know, in house. And I thought this was a really unique opportunity to utilize that bull. Back on this Irish Whiskey Jalen female, there will be some of those born. I have some of those coming this summer out of her. We're offering four of those. And man, I think those ones can make some just very, very good donor cows or show heifers. They're going to be burly, that mating is going to be stout. So, you know, I don't know if they necessarily are going to be the cool looking, you know, freaky shell heifers of the bunch. But then things are going to make some awesome cows.
A
Well, the next is lot 43. You got multiple embryos out of the cow you'll call Marty. You've obviously exhibited her, exhibited her here in Texas. First lot up to offer you can be sex females. One for all is talk to me about the female and then we'll go through the sires again on embryos that you're offering up on her.
B
Yes. So this one Marty is a flushmate sister to the Dixie donor we talked about above there. She's another primo out of the 5,722 cow the lot. One donor that we're offering embryos on and one that I touched on a little bit earlier that she was either champion or reserve champion key at every Texas major. She just is hitting our donor pen now and really getting going. So these, these would be the first ones we got some coming out of her. But this is really kind of some of the first opportunities on embryos that we've offered out of her. So these one for alls will be another dual register mating. They'll be maintainers and low keys. The next one I have down here a little different twist on the female side. I did her to maid daughter and actually sexed them female. So these will be high keys with a little bit of a clubby influence. But man, over the years, those maid to orders have made some really good females. And I wanted to do something different on this cow. And I thought that was just a unique mating that's going to be clean, they're going to be hockey and they're going to make really good shell heifers. Kind of where I see this mating working on her for sure.
A
Well, not 45 is next. These are gonna be sexed female Red Knights out of a cow that y' all call who that? Spicy, sultry. Talk to me about the cow. Obviously you're offering multiple embryos out of her.
B
Yes. So Spice is a female I bought four or five years ago from John Sullivan out there in Iowa. So Spice is actually. She'd be a flushmate sister to and all them good cows that they've had. Who that Lady Red Thunder? Who that raptor. I mean, cows that have really made an impact in the industry and you know, within the key breed and kind of bleeding over. I mean, they. She's a full sib to the 5722 cows like these will be, if you will, maternal sibs and blood to Dixie and Marty that we just talked about and all the success we have with those heifers. I need to make an edit here. This cow is actually a th carrier. So a couple of these matings down the line here will actually be a thth mating. There was a little mess up in DNA testing when we bought the cow. She's supposed to be clean. And we had started having some th positive calves out of her, which is never good. But man, the ones we've had that lived have been very, very good. So this first mating we have on hers, Red Knight, which will be a purebred shorthorn bull. So these will be non th lethal mating on her. We're offering three of those. These will be Shorthorn plus and high keys. The next one we have is a little different twist. So Spice being red, obviously there's a lot of the Angus bulls that get used back on these Hooda man cows. I wanted to do something a little different and use a Red Angus bull on her. And the first of those we had were really unique females. I sold both of them through my good buddy Trent Ray sale up there in Oklahoma. That picture of that heifer is one we sold up there. So these will be full sibs to that heifer pictured there are offering three of those. So these will actually you'll get dual registrability on this one as well. So they can show in the red Angus composite division or the key division on these. Awesome.
A
Well the next yeah. Is next level sex females.
B
Yes. So next level sex female. So again that's that purebred scimitar bull voyage. And we just have one embryo on that mating left in the tank. You'd be able to dual register these as well as some solutions or high percent key females. Another one that's going to offer some colors, some baldies, some red, some blacks. I get a little bit of everything possibility wise on that one. And then the next one down here is another red Angus side lot on the Parabellum bull. And we're offering three of those. So they'll be similarly bred to that Lot 46, the firestorm mating that we just touched on above there. And then we got another shorthorn bull right direction sexed female. That's a full sip pictured right there. That was champion shorthorn plus at the Jordan Mack Memorial show out there in Iowa. We're offering four of those. Another one, these will be shorthorn plus or high keys. And then scrolling down we have another scimitar mating on her. Something about Mary sexed female. Another one that offers a red gene possibility there and will be dual registered as well. We're offering two on that mating. We got a spice flush is tremendously good. So we got a lot of embryos to offer here out of her. The next one is another shorthorn mating on her. Perfection. These are unsexed and I've actually had two heifers out of this mane and I kept both them back as replacement females and got one that just got bred. And then the other one is actually in my. She was a springboard heifer that I have in my replacement pen this year. I have one that was solid red and then I got one that's round up shorthorn colored that looked very good. We're offering one embryo on that mating and then so getting down here now this is where the th on th matings come in. And this calf pictured is an ungodly trust out of urgent. That's a full sip to this one embryo we're offering. Obviously there's a little risk inherited with this one but man, sometimes the you Take that risk and it's worth it. So that calf showed in Oklahoma, had a good run up there. And then the next one is out of the lethal bull, which was a perfection out of our shortcake donor. So this is kind of another in house sire on an in house donor. I just actually had some of these born at a buddy's house. And for a couple day old calves, they look really good. We're gonna offer five of these in this law and six in the next lot. So there's 11 total embryos here that we're offering on this one. And this is gonna be an opportunity for someone, you know, that's looking to buy something that, you know, maybe doesn't bring a whole lot of money, given the circumstances of it being a th mating. But the ones that have made it look very good so far.
A
Awesome. And then 56, you got take me to church on sexed honor.
B
Yes. So 55 actually skipped over that one. That's another th one on Red Rock. He sex the male. We're offering one of those. And then, yes, 56, this is a clean mating on her. So that take me to church. And I had two of these that I picked up from the co op in December that looked pretty nice that are here at the house right now or offering two on those. Those are unsexed. I had one bull and one heifer and both built very good. I think, you know, the steer is really built, you know, for a slick shearing type deal. And then the female probably go back in the. In the replacement pen for us.
A
Awesome. Well, the Next is lot 57 out of yalls in house cowdo called 1019. You have multiple embryos up to offer on her. Obviously she's very dense, very, very big footed, obviously. Probably one of our yalls club calf indicative donors who start to offer embryos on who to man unsex. Talk to me about the cow a little bit and then we'll go through all the embryos and the matings.
B
Yeah, so we're starting to jump into some of our club calf matings here. So our 1019 cow, she's a delicious out of Dustin Glover's famous 0454 cow, which has had a tremendous run in the state of Texas on the Hereford side. And this is one of two bullishest females, I think ever out of that cow. And she is also notably the mother to the 2018 Houston Grand Champion steers. All these matings out of the 1019 cow will be maternal sibs to that steer that won Houston in 2018 we've had, we had champion lightweight Maine with one of her calves and we had fourth place middleweight semi last year at Houston with another one out of this 10 19. So the who to man mating, obviously we touched on who the man and his influence within the industry and the club calf show heifer side. And I thought this was just another unique opportunity. Who the man having a red gene and obviously the cow having a red jean. I mean you might get blacks, you might get paints, you might get smokes, yellows, reds, you know, out of this meeting. These are unsexed. We've had some of these and we've had, there's been two red ones, a smoke colored one and a black one out of this mating so far. And we're offering four of those unsexed to the mans on 1019 and then lot 58 getting into back into that perfection bull. These are another unsexed mating on hers. So could be some shorthorn classifying ones, maybe some yellow runes, another one that offers a couple different color variations here. Lot 59, these are Colt 45 sexed males offering two of those. We talked about that Colt 45 bull up there that we made it to Skelly again from the far program there. And then lot 60 we have lethals again, which is our perfection out of our shortcake donor back on this one. And I actually have two of these at the house right now. Both shorthorn colored, both shorthorn classifying ones and the one I actually kept at bull. So we'll probably, probably see more of him next, either late this fall or next spring. We're going to keep him back. And he looks very good right now. I mean just a big footed, dense made, really neat looking bull that we're going to bring to the market out of that cow right there. So these will be full sips to that be a good opportunity for someone to, you know, kind of get in on a little bit ahead of the curve here, you know, before that bull comes out, somebody that's paying attention and you know, listens to the podcast here, they're going to have a little, little information ahead of time maybe. So we're offering four of those on Lot 60 and then another three on that same mating on Lot 61. And that is lethal sex to male. And then the lot 62 is out of Brandon Zookeeper bull, which I think is just an absolute freaking nature. I don't know if you've been over to Brandon's or Bonanza and seen that thing, but he's just, just different.
A
Absolutely well then 63 is next.
B
63. So this is out of our 081 donor. So she isn't out there out of the 10. 19 cows get to see a little proof in the pudding here on this one. We just started flushing on this cow last year. And I have a couple of these on the ground here at the house now that we're going to be offering this spring in our sales. So this first mating is a fire in the hole bull mating. Which is another one that far is raised up there in Indiana. Them and Brad Otto own together. Yellow and white kind of painted up run looking club calf bull. We're offering four of those. And then lot 64 we got some king of kings sex male. Another bullets. I guess his first or second calf crop would be hitting the ground now. Not king of kings but I mean them things look pretty nice so far. Three of those on her. And then actually this next mating, the tres and obeys. These are the ones I have at the house right now that look very nice. And offering. This is the last embryo I have in the tank on this mating right now. Another second mating on the 081 donor.
A
Well then in lot 66 we talked about the voodoo cow before. But you're offering here? I am. Sex male embryos. Three of them out in front of her.
B
Yes.
A
As well.
B
Yeah, touch there up above on the female matings on voodoo. And then we're going to jump into the club calf male matings here on her. So these here I ams would actually be full sibs to our high seller two years ago that sold in our bid board sale here in Texas for 40,000. Like I said man, that voodoo cow is just. She's been very, very influential in our program. And one that goes back to the first cow I ever flushed. So that's a little bit of sentimental value to me, you know, on this cow. So here I am. I mean obviously they've worked that bull's work, this cow's work, this mating's work. Kind of a no brainer mating here on this one. Lot 67. These are unsexed embryos on take me to church. Another one that's going to offer some color variation. Going to get some red and white, some black and whites out of this one offering for those. And the Next1, Lot 68 we got in God we trust. Sex males have had several of these. Again, another good proven mating that we've had several of. And voodoo is another cow that just blushes tremendously. Goods offering four of those on that mating. And then we got another king of kings sexed male mating on voodoo, offering three of those. And then we're going to touch back on that lethal bull offering one of those on her. I've had some of those shorthorn classifying ones. So that is the last of the matings on voodoo there.
A
Well, then, 71 is next. We've touched on Meredith, so we're going back to the club calf side. But obviously you start off with in God we trust sex male. And you got a couple others in terms. It's 71 and 72. So they're in God we trust sex male and king of kings sex male. Have you had any matings of that hit the ground at all or sold?
B
Yes. So actually we've had a handful of the and God we trust meetings on her and call me a liar, whatever you want. I've had a red baldy and God we trust bull calf out of her in November.
A
Wow, that's.
B
I mean, yeah, really unique animal. I'm not quite sure what I'm gonna do with him yet. He's another one that we might keep a bull and kind of see how he develops here over the next couple months. And just a. Just a really unique animal on that in God we trust mating. So another one that's proven another opportunity for a guy to get in on the ground floor of something new that's up and coming for us. And then the king of kings. I haven't had any of these yet. I just flushed her that way last year. Got some of those put in for this next calving season. But another bull that obviously is doing very well for the horn program and others around the country. So we're just offering three sexed male embryos. You know, on the Meredith cow, we got one in gal we trust and then two, the king of kings.
A
Lot 73 is next. We've talked about harmony and you're offering here? I am. Sex male, three embryos. Have you had any of these hit the ground? Have any been sold or anything of that nature?
B
Yep. So we've had some of these as well that on would have shown up in Indiana. And he was reserve Maine at the hoosier beef congress there two years ago. So another proven mating on that harmony cow that we touched on being a sister to endgame's mother. And actually not the same mating, but we had some ingall we trust out of these that the guy family showed. And they had that calf during COVID year and he did not get an opportunity to show at the state fair. But, man, that Thing looked like he could have made. Made a run at it for sure.
A
Lot 74 is next. This a new Cal that we haven't talked about yet. These are gonna be unsex monopoly, the OG out of the cow. Y' all called 211. Have y' all had any of these hit the ground? What's the mating done for y'? All?
B
Yep. So a little older donor cow that we had in our lineup a handful of years ago. The 211 cow is pretty unique bread. So she's an interstate out of a war horse cow. And she would have sold how back in the first class female sale, when it was a kind of standalone sale on its own, before they joined Van hooves out there up there and combined that sale. So she was. She was a smoke gray, baldy cow. I've had these monopolies out of her. I've had some smoke colored ones and I've had some red ones. I had a really good female a couple years ago that we kept back and had been a good AI cow for us that unfortunately we lost before I could really get cranking on her. But these are the last two that we have on this cow. So these. That cow's gone now. But these are the last two that are in existence on that cow.
A
Well, the next up is 75 and he's going to be here. I am sex males over the cow. Y' all call 412. I vividly remember this steer that they're full sibs to correct.
B
So these actually be three quarter sibs. So that steer was reserve middleweight exotic last year at Fort Worth. And I've actually, I've had several of these actually before I. Before we had that calf that did well at Fort Worth last year. And I'm not so sure that the sister to that steer isn't a better producer than her mother. So I've sold several of these to Wade over the years when we were still living up there in Indiana. And I've never flushed that cow. And you know, finally after that steer did so well, I thought, man, I might be kind of dumb for not having this calf in the tunnel lineup and flush moaners. So we're going to offer four of those. These are sexed male embryos and will be three quarter sibs in blood to that steer that was reserved middleweight last year at Fort Worth.
A
Lot 76 is next. These are me sex male king of kings out of the cow yard called Juicy J. Have y' all had any of these hit the ground? What's been the success like with this mating.
B
So this is a new cow that we're flushing on that I own with a good friend of mine down here in Texas. So he bought half of her and we jumped in and started plushing on her pretty hard. And she turned out to be a really good embryo producer as well. So we're going to offer up some of these. And a lot of these male embryos are obviously stuff that we're still utilizing for ourselves and you know, doing well for our program. We're going to be calves that you see the same pedigrees coming up in our, in our spring sales and cabs that, you know, my kids are showing or customers kids are showing at the Texas majors here and around the country. So I bought this cow from Green Oak up there in Ohio. So she's a one oak style monopoly. And I mean just dense made, burly, big footed and she sheared off in the picture. But man, that thing is big haired. So these are going to be king of kings sex male. I know my partner Tim Waldrop has some of these coming next summer down here in Texas and his reset herd. And that is, I flushed her a couple different ways. But the only mating we're going to offer in this sale is is those king of king sex male.
A
Lot 77's next. These can be sexed male. Fire in the holes out of the cow. You'll call Miss Gold Digger. Talk to me about the cow. And then if this mating's worked for y' all in terms of selling show steers at all.
B
So another new mating on that fire in the hole on this cow. I have had some very good perfections out of her. Actually a female that highlighted one of our sales this summer was a perfection out of this Miss Gold Digger cow. So she's a Dakota gold heat wave. And kind of unique thing about this cow she's cleaning. But I mean a moderate, awesome structured stout made good fronted, good shouldered cow. One I'm kind of excited about to be making some of these shorthorn classified calves. You know, whether these come come out shorthorn colored or yellow paints or you know, red and white, whatever they come to be. I got some of these coming in June up at our co op in Iowa. And other cow that's really making her way to the top of the donor lineup for us right now.
A
Yes sir. Talking about getting up high on the donor lineup, I'm almost 100% positive that this RJRF shortcake cal that you got is definitely getting up there. You got multiple embryos, you're Selling here out of different sires. Talk to me about her, how you acquired her and what embryos you're offering.
B
Yes. So short kick, she would actually be the mother that lethal bull that we've touched on, that we have a couple, well, a good handful of lots in the sal mill out of that we've been utilizing. So shortcake's the mother of the lethal bull. Lethal was a perfection out of shortcake this first lot 78. These are sacred grounds. Unsexed, that sacred ground. Semen is very hard to get a hold of and they don't offer a lot of it. So I had one of these in our spring sale last year. That was actually a female that sold to Wade Kirkwood here in Texas. So these were all from one unsexed embryo on a sacred ground mating. Then a little different twist down here. I flushed her to one oak. So we got one of those we're offering out at her. Then the next one again going back to that Dakota gold bull, offering one of those out of her. These are just some. Some different bangs I've done out of her. You know, we've utilized these, put these in, sold some of these. And I just kind of had some onesies and twosies in the tank left on her. Got all my embryos put in, you know, for next year. So trying to clean up some inventory here and, and get these things out and let some other guys utilize them. And then the lot 81, this is another mating that's going to be a thth mating to horn standout bull. I just couldn't resist from trying to utilize that bull on this cow. And you know where that one comes out, hopefully defect free. I think that's a really unique mating on this cow that has never been done. We've not had any of these. I actually think she only made this one embryo when we flushed her that way. So this will probably be a one on one situation here on this mating.
A
Yes, sir. Lot 82, 83 are next. Both out of cow. Y' all call yeti. You have some maid to order. Unsexed. And something else unsexed. Talk to me about the cow, how you acquired her and if you've had any of these matings hit the ground.
B
Yeah. So the yeti cow, I actually bought her as a heifer out of good friend of mine sale here in Texas. I virgin flushed her. Man, look at that picture. I love that one's build. You know, her look. Just everything about her has the softest feet and legs on probably almost any God we trust. I've ever seen in my life. So we got two major orders out of her and four something else out of her. We've had a couple of these. I sold her last year in my donor sale. She's working in Nebraska now. And that one has been a lot of fun for us to, you know, get flushing on and get calves out of the ground. On the ground out of her. And I'm excited to kind of see, you know, what she does as she progresses in her donor career and what she's going to do.
A
Yes, sir. Well then lot 84 is next. He's gonna be firing the whole sex male out of a cow called Misty Gold. Talk to me about the cow, how you acquired her, what she had done for you and how the matings worked.
B
Yes, I bought Misty Gold out of Tom's bar's bred cow sale last up there in Indiana. We got flushing on her right away. I haven't had any of these out of her because I just got her in. So we'll have some of these this coming summer. She actually laid down and had a really nice short horn colored heer for us this summer. That looks really good. Probably going to go back in our replacement pen. May see her in one of our late spring sales this year if I decide to offer part of her or something. But this cow is actually triple clean. Has a lot of different mating opportunities on her. One that I think is going to make some really unique slick shearing cattle and some haired cattle for down here in Texas. Just a moderate, dense maid, big footed, awesome looking cows. I'm excited to get this one going. She's an angeli trust. I have a starburst cow. Just unique, just unique. I really like that cow.
A
Absolutely. 85 is next and you have some made to order unsexed on a cow y' all call white mamba. She's a gun smoke over monopoly. Talk to me about the cow, where you got her and why you decided to flush her to made to order.
B
So I bought her from Keegan Moonan in Oklahoma a couple of years ago. And one that you know was just kind of an AI cow for us for a while. And it's like man, every year she just laid down and had a good one. Next year she'd lay down and have a good one. And I mean I think she had five or six in her own. I finally said man, I need to be flushing on this cow. So I was running a couple other cows to maid to order and she is a th carrier. So I ran her that way, I have some other matings on her that we're utilizing as well. But she, she did really good on this flush. So we're going to offer five unsexed mate orders on her. And, you know, whether you get show heifers out of this deal done or cow steers, I think these are going to be really unique animals.
A
Then 86 is next. These are going to be Jolly rancher sex males. And this is out of a cow y' all call Rose. She's a maid right over the Glover 0454. You've talked about that cow there at Glover's. Obviously you acquired another one out of that cow. Talk to me about the mating, how it's worked so far, and why he decided to offering these Jolly Rancher sex males.
B
Probably one of my favorite cows that I've acquired over the years. And the story is pretty funny on her. I bought her when I was in college and they actually messed up my. My funding one semester in my college and they actually never funded me. So I had $5,000 that I didn't know what to do with. So I was shopping on online on SC1 night, and I've come across this thing as. As a heifer calf. And I bought her with my tuition money from college of all things. Rose is, you know, I've had her for, shoot, 13 years now. She's getting to be an old, old woman on me right now. But another one that has quite a bit of sentimental value to me. I've had some of these Jolly ranchers actually put some in. We're going to have this summer out of her. We've had a couple promotional sires out of her. My highest average selling calves last year were out of this cow. And, you know, a variety of different matings. She's. She's just worked well over the years to numerous different bulls. These Jolly Ranchers are really nice cattle. That'll be Texas classifying Herefords or red crosses.
A
Well, then lot 87 is next. You have multiple embryo or. Or two embryos that you're offering out of this cow. One being here I am sexed male and one being tricked out sex male. Talk to me about the cow, what she's done for y' all there at Richland Farms. And then why y' all are offering matings out of the two sires that y' all have listed.
B
Yeah. So this is one that we bred and raised, obviously goes back to our Skelly Dunner cow. So she's an Irish whiskey Skelly, but here I am mating has worked so good on her mother over the years that I thought it was pretty well a no brainer to flush her that way. And then the tricked out mating is I actually AI'd her that way and she laid down and had a heifer calf for me. And I mean when that thing stood up and saw that thing as, you know, a newborn baby and as it progressed I knew I needed to flush her and sex those males. That thing was just flat freak in nature. I kept that female back and we're utilizing her and her. She'll have her first calf for us this summer. But kind of the unique thing about this cow too, for some of our Texas guys, I've been flushing her American as well. And I have a really nice Nelson heifer at our place here in Texas that we're going to offer in our spring sale, probably our late March sale. That looks really good right now. And obviously I know you're pretty fond of that Nelson bull yourself there.
A
Well, the Next in Lot 89 is going to be out of yost cow that you'll call American Girl. You got got two different lots up to offer here. Here I am. Sex male in 89 and take me to church unsexed in lot 90. What's the cow done for y'?
B
All?
A
How have y' all progressed alongside her? And why are. Why are y' all offering embryos out of these two sires?
B
So the here I ams we've had a handful of those. And this is another one that we bred and raised ourselves. And actually out of a bull I owned is that American man was an Mab Meyer Henrietta. And then on another donor cow that we had, I sold a couple years ago to good friends out there in Iowa. This cow has, has been really good for us. And I have a handful of these on the ground right now. And then I have a handful of how greats out of this cow that look really good right now. And then the take me to church mating have a handful of heifers actually out of this mating that we're going to keep back in herds. Another one that flushes really good for us. So we're able to offer four sexed male here I ams and then three unsexed take me to churches out of her.

Well, getting down to the last nine lots in Lot 91, you have some fire in the whole sex males out of a cow that is a full sister to M2O. So talk to me about the cow and then what you have to offer here, obviously you got multiple all the way through 93. So talk to me about why y' all are offering embryos out of her.
B
So this cow is one I bought. So she is a full sister made to order. She's a monopoly Kelly. I mean there's several females full sibs to this cow around the country. She would actually be a sister to like get you some's mom. Knock knock's mom. I am here's mom. My middle boy showed and God steer last year out of her. That did very well for us. Won his division at Arizona and then got a tough break in the Class 4 last year at Fort Worth and ended up being 13th in class there. We're gonna offer firing the whole sex males on her. Three of those. 92. How great sexed males, just one of those. And then lot 93 hitting on that lethal bull again. So that's kind of a in house bull on an in house donor there again. And so we got two of those. And these are all sexed male embryos on that sister to make the order.
A
Lot 94 is next. These can be. Here I am sex male out of a cow called Chewbacca. And you got multiple embryos offering out of her all the way from 94 down to 96, which is the last lot of the sale. You got some told you so sex males. Searches over sexed males. And here I am. Talk to me about the cow, what she's done for y' all and why you decided to offer some embryos on her.
B
The Chewbacca is another one that we raised. This cow is just, just a freak. I mean you look at her picture there, that's just a cell phone picture standing in the barn up there and just an absolute monster footed, fairly made and just the hairiest creature you can think of. We actually have several different sire matings here in the sale. And we have, I think there's four or five different sire groups here that we're going to offer in our our spring sales out of her. So the first one here, lot 94, these are. Here I am. This is a thth mating. So a little high risk, high reward lot here offering four of those. The next one, the search is over. I have one of these down here that'll be in our March 8th sale. That looks really good. I'm offering three of those. And then the told you show. This might be my favorite mating on her right now. I have one here that looks just incredible. I know Raymond had some that he sold up there in Kansas this fall. So those are told you so sex males offering three of those. And again, a lot of these matings are stuff that we're using actively. You know, in our program. Still having calves out of them. You know, none of these matings are just washed up, you know, trying to get rid of them situations. We just have such a large surplus of inventory right now. So trying to, trying to dwindle down a little bit and get some of these out here and not just have them sitting in the tank and not getting utilized as the goal. This sale and this, this cow in particular is one, I mean, guys really need to tie into and, and get on board with, with this cow right now because she's, she's going to make a name for herself.
A
Well, with all that said, we went over all the lots. Obviously the sale happens on February 15th on SC Online Sales. Garth's contact info is in there. If you have any questions and you didn't get any, any answers out of the preview, which I hope you did, you know who you can call. And Garth, is there anything else you'd like to tack on before we wrap this thing up?
B
Yeah, just, you know, anybody that's got questions. I love to talk cattle. If you got any more in depth answers or, you know, questions on the donors and the matings that we're offering here, feel free to call, text, whatever works best for you and we'd love to hear from you and get to get working with you.

Everything that, that we sell in embryo form is welcome to come back here and, and be in our sales. And we really like trying to keep up with them and work with our customers and offer that marketing assistance to get them out there and get them in good homes and you know, be able to follow them all the way through their show career as well.
