All right, so we got another preview. And actually this one is brought to you by Premium Beef Genetics. We partnered up for for from this point forward. Now, Mr. Marlo has decided to trust empower you to represent a lot of his clients and very, very excited and grateful for that. So Mr. Marlo, thank you. We have Mr. Jared on here with us and he is the primary owner and runner of Shaggy Meadows there. They have a sale on March 6th there in South Dakota. You can find it on DD Auctions. I'm really excited to talk about these cattle, especially with Jared. I've never been able to meet you, unfortunately, but just having some brief conversations. I'm glad that we're able to do this for you. So talk to me about what Shaggy Meadows is all about. Obviously it's 9th annual sale there for y'. All. Kind of the history of it and what Yalls primary goal is.
B
Yeah, we started into the Red Angus business, so probably right after college, so about roughly 20, 22 years ago. Our interest in red Angus cattle came from just being around a resup herd that had a lot of red cattle in it. And we always appreciated the mother of those animals. And we kind of started to venture into the seed stock business. And it's always been a primary goal of ours to focus strong on maternal traits. And as we've continued to evolve as a program main constant in that maternal traits. But then we started to incorporate a few more growth traits and a few more phenotypical traits that we felt would benefit our commercial customers the best. We think that moving forward with our program, these are going to pay dividends, especially if it's a a pay weight product from the cow she's able to produce that year in and year out. And just keep in mind longevity and efficiency.
A
Mr. Marlo, how did you end up meeting Mr. Jared and why do you decide to represent them?
C
Yeah, good question, Weston. Man, I tell you, me and Jared, we met kind of through just sales in general. Basically we like the same kind of cattle, you know. And I mean, whenever you're in this business, you run across people at different areas of it that fall in line with you as far as what you like and what you look for. And the main thing that got me so intrigued with Jared is he's got so much passion for making like improving the Red Angus breed, you know. And that's what really brought me forth to really want to partner with him and help him market these cattle. This is my fifth year to help Jared market his bull sale. And it's been a fun ride. We've been, we've had a lot of just really unique bulls that we put out there and sent these things across the country at different various places. And what about them as they just get better rather than go backwards. Whenever they hit these registered breeders or commercial breeders alike, they just, they do, they just explode even more. Because the way Jared, you know, brings these cattle across, he does it slow and he doesn't push them to where they get wonky and can't move right and whatnot. So he eases these bulls across and he gets them there at a, at a slower rate, basically. But they just do it on their own naturally, you know, and it's all genetics that does it out there at Shaggy Meadows. And that's what I've always found super unique. And he's just got, like I said earlier, he's got a lot of passion for making better cattle. And I mean proven built his whole entire cowherd around proven genetics, quality pedigrees and just females that go out and do the work, do it the old fashioned way in a roundabout way. Weston so it's kind of unique just to see all the way these cattle thrive out there on grass and different scenarios that we've sent them and you know, smaller breeder, but man, we've sent these things to some big breeders and they've, they've put them to hard work, I mean and they have come out thriving. So it's, it's been a fun journey.
A
Well, to start off the sale, lots one through six are all, all going to be out of the Turnpike 724 cable. Obviously Lot 2 is listed as the picture in there. I mean that's an extremely dense made bull from, from my knowledge. I mean, huge hip, very, very cool look from the side. Obviously lot four is, has the red carrier. Arg. More burly in my mind. That's a big rib bull and that's extremely proportional. Obviously Lot 5 is listed there on a picture as well, just as proportional. Talk to me about what these turnpike bulls look like phenotypically and what they've done for your program. Jared.
B
I mean, I think he's phenotypically one of the better bulls we've used. I don't know that I can say. I've used too many bulls at the front end that he consistently puts on these cattle. It's a structurally incredibly sound front end. There's flex in the feet, the front foot stays really true on this lot 4 bull is kind of the epitome of our program. He's Coming out of a 12 year old cow with awesome feet, awesome udder. I think a lot of people question if she is 12 because she looks like she's 5 or 6 and probably 4 is going to be the maternal maker of the sale just because of longevity and the turnpike females we calved out here this first year and man, the udders are great. They probably have a little more length of spine than, than kind of what the normal red Angus would be along with that longer front. They've got good size, great udders and I just, I just love what Turnpike's done here. From a phenotypical standpoint, I think his number one trait is his muscle pattern in his cattle. Incredibly consistent. And then when we start to look at Turnpike's mom was Also I think 12 or 13 at that time he, he was raised. So we're stacking in some really cool cow families in these turnpikes and it, it's really evident when you come look at them cattle.
A
Well also the other six lots following are also out of Turnpike. So kind of run through me some of the highlights on these bulls that are out of him. Maybe some of your more favorites or some that you think will have a significant impact for other breeders.
B
Yeah, I mean like I kind of touched on lot four there and then kind of going back to lot two, unique twist on a pedigrees out of a chestnut united daughter drive will kind of help Turnpike drop his birth weight down there. Moderate just a little bit and really cool out cross pedigree for him. We didn't get the color right but that's probably the only thing on the bull that we don't like. Really super complete, good footed and sound and you know, and we kind of look over that lot five bull, big, long, big frame bull. I mean if you're looking at one that you want to stretch some females out, put some frame in it. And he does, he keeps that rib too. But I mean that's one right there that's going to, in this day and age, he's going to put some, some length and go in a set of feeder cattle. And that's kind of what we appreciate about him. And then obviously, I mean the picture on Lot 7 kind of speaks to what he is. Really super complete, awesome footed bull. Incredibly long, big hipped, big scrotal on him, awesome head and just moves like a cat. He's a super complete bull. Kind of one of our, one we're probably going to put back in our program just what he can do. And we love his mother. She's actually sired a couple bulls that are working in her first bulls working in actually kind of a show cattle program. And they love him. And kind of anything that Cal's done and we put out there has been really good for the individual. So that's definitely one that we're. We're pretty high on, too.
A
Absolutely. Marlo, you got any thoughts?
C
I'm telling you, Weston, like Jared said, I mean, honestly, Turnpike has changed the game. I feel like what he's done out there in a short period of time for Jared is they're just so angular, right? They've got, they've. They got, they got a cookie cutter design. They're just perfectly balanced. Still got an awesome long spine, which in today's world, long spine is. Is pounds, man. I mean, these things put weight on. Don't let them EPDs fool you guys. I'm telling you, these things are legit. Like, these are old school, proven genetics that excel on grass. And I mean, these cattle will absolutely put from front to back. They've got so much length of spine like Jared was talking about. That front one third, you get that front one third, you got the length of spine, you got a really long hip. And I feel like that, that leads to awesome fertility in these cattle with that length of spine and length of hip that they carry the female mates to. These bulls, Weston, I'm telling you, they'll make your eyes pop out. Like, anybody that sees them is just shocked because they're just not normal red Angus. Right. They. They tie in perfectly behind their shoulders to have that le mine. And they just, it just carries throughout their whole top line and it just makes for an incredible female. To me, these bulls, like, if you're wanting to buy a red Angus bull to build around, like to build a foundation around these turnpikes will absolutely get it done. And you, you could keep every female and put back in your herd and, and build a hell of an empire. I feel like.
A
Well, then you got some contrasting kinds in 8 and 9. Obviously 8, you've listed it as just maternal power. And then 9 really just looks like a solid beef bull. Talk to me about those two bulls, what they look like in person and kind of some attributes of them that you would want some buyers to take in on.
B
Yeah, you know, eight's a lot like five. Big tall bull got enough rib, but again, there he's going to stretch them out and he's going to put some frame in things. And like you, you alluded to it kind of two different kinds just because of the Cow families behind them, mother of eight, a little bit bigger frame cow and then you get into the lot hind bowl and he's maybe the beefiest bull. The sale, if you can look on the bottom side of that pedigree goes back to that flying K max bull that was real popular up in Canada for maternal reasons. Awesome. Uttered awesome feet a lot. Nine mothers like that too. But he is a load. I mean you get behind that bull and he's as big hipped and big ribbed as you can really find. So it's just, they're two different bulls but it's just kind of a preference deal when it boils down to him. But we sure like them both and they definitely have good plates.
C
Yeah, they'll put some stretch in them.
A
Well, lots 10 and 9 are fairly similar in my mind due to the fact that they're both huge footed, big bone bulls for sure.
B
Yep, yep.
A
Awesome. Well, the next you got lot 13. He's a black Angus bull that is out of The Deep Canyon 2040 obviously. I mean this thing is extremely intriguing. That's a long neck tie tying bull that's extremely tall shouldered, has a huge yet soft middle with alongside a big hip and still looks like he utilizes his hind leg correctly. Talk to me about him and what he has to offer for the public.
B
Yeah, I think, I think he offers a lot. I mean, you know, just looking at him today again, the way he ties his front end in through shoulders and, and then he becomes just robust and massive middle. Then I don't know if you see a lot of bulls like that then you look at their top line and you can just, it's just straight and like you said, the way he keeps his hind legs underneath him and everything is, it's pretty impressive for a big bull like that. And you know, he's, he is, he's as big middle and big dribbed as we've had. But it's kind of funny when you, you start to get him on the move and start to get him going. He's, he can be incredibly athletic too. So yeah, we're, we're super high on him, super excited. He's been working real good next door at 605. We've been taking him over there and starting to get a little bank of semen put up on him. So that's also encouraging. I think he's going to have a big impact in the breed and yeah, we definitely going to use that one back too in our program. And you start to think about his mother, what she's done. We actually purchased her on a pick of a herd out of Pine Coulee program, which is known all around the world for their maternal. And she's done a good job considering she come from the foothills of the Rockies into the plains of the Dakotas and made a pretty quick adjustment. And yeah, this. This thing came off the cow at, you know, a thousand pounds, actual weaning weight when the day we weaned. So she. She bred back and calved again. And pretty remarkable for a young female to kind of jump through all those hoops. And we're pretty excited about her as well.
C
Yeah, I agree with you 100%, Jared. And just. Just to relay a little bit more message on this bull, I. I've. I've been to a lot of sales. I've seen a lot of Angus bulls, red Angus bulls, you name it. But I feel like there's more blue sky behind this bull for what he can offer to improve the Angus breed that I've seen in a long time. I mean, you just don't run across them like this very often to have that much expressive power and rib shape, but still, yet tremendous amount of growth and performance out of a first calf or no less. Weston, this was her first calf. I mean, you got to remember that. I mean, it's. It's amazing. And I mean, if you study the pedigree, there's just no holes. I mean, it's truly maternal as they come, top and bottom. Efficiency, performance, fertility. I mean, the bull just lights it up and I mean, goes back to the really good donor that Pine Coulee sold. Judas been five, six years ago. The X64, the Ever Elda Intense. Just to back it up, to really put the back on it, the X64 cow is, in my opinion, one of the coolest Angus cows ever walked face to earth. And I think that what she. What she delivers in this bull is evident in her daughter as well. And territory is another one that, you know, I mean, I've talked to Kelly Schoff about many times, and he still today believes that's the greatest. The absolute greatest resour sun ever produced. And there's just a.
B
To.
C
There's a load of performance in these cattle. And I mean, it shows right here. And I mean, we got one to put out there on front street to show people that we've got him in our catalog this year. If the new buyer decides that they want to promote him, we're. We're all about selling salmon on this bull through premium beef genetics. And I feel like he's got a lot of blue sky behind him to carry a lot of damage and good in the, in the Angus breed or red Angus breed as far as that goes. I think he's got a lot to offer. We're excited about him to say the least.
A
14 and 15 are next. Obviously. 14 is going to be the Black Angus. 15 is going to be the Red Angus. 15 in my mind reads like a moderate, easy fleshing bull that is extremely good footed alongside with a good set of running gear. And 14 reads extremely shapely robust about his rib cage and still able to get out and go. Talk to me about their pedigrees and kind of what signifies their spot there in 14 and 15.
B
Yeah, 14 is off of a cow we bought actually from Kurt Duff down there, a Raindance cow we just fell in love with when we were there and, and she shade two to that super feminine, super angular, went ahead and bred her to prolific and high performing, high, high volume bull there and, and just, just knowing that one's gonna throw some really cool females too. I was telling Marlo this morning that I think Lot 15, you know, even since picture and video days, maybe been the changer of the, the muscle pattern bull's unreal and, and he's going to lead off our, our new sire group of the Charlies and that. And he's a good example of what he'll do. I mean, base width's incredible, rib shape's incredible. It keeps a good front end. And this bull, I'm excited tomorrow when we ultrasound because I think this bull's packing a pretty big ribeye and when you get behind this thing and see his top and see his muscle, you know, there's a lot of red meat in there. So we're kind of excited and, and you know, I mean I'm a lot 15 bulls touch on the fact that we don't have a ribeye EPD there and you know, we're not really sure what goes on sometimes and tabulations and everything, but I'm pretty sure after he, we get done scanning him tomorrow, he'll probably have a pretty good ribeye epd. So. Yeah, yeah, absolutely. You're reading them right. And I mean I wouldn't, I wouldn't sleep on that lot 15 bull. He looks really, really cool today. So.
C
And this is our first calf crop, right Jared, out of Charlie. I mean this is first, this is our very first run and we've been excited for this bull. I mean for what he can offer it. He's, he's an amazing creature. Walks so fluently and just beautiful profile and patterned and just awesome feet. We're excited about this calf crop on Charlie.
A
Well, Obviously through lots 27 are all going to be out of the Charlie 409 elbow that y' all say that it's his first offer and you liked him so much that it, it seems that you heavily utilized him for sure. Obviously the next two lots are 16 and 17. 16 is listed as in the picture and in my mind that's so far one of my favorites for sure. I mean that's a really tall fronted extended bull that's extremely proportional. Has the right rib cage and length and size of hip. Talk to me about both really all the Charlies and why you use the bull so heavily. Obviously you stated it just a little bit and then run through the lots that you'd like to highlight on the bull and some of his progeny.
B
When I went on tour up in Canada. Oh man. Going to be real honest, I love Charlie as a calf there. I saw him in December before W Sunrise's sale. But what I, what I would fell in love with even more was his mother. And there's some pictures around of what that Moose Creek cows done and her udder and her phenotype is. Is unbelievable. And my good friend Tanner up there, he runs cows like commercial man do. And for that cow to look like that on that day was just I thought unbelievable. And I think when he kind of you get up there and you start to study cow families and you find a bully like and then you go find that bull's mother and that bull's mother's even better, that kind of puts it together for us and kind of what we're looking for. So. But you're right, I'm a lot 16 bull. He's. He's probably the biggest boned bull in the sale. Big rib cage, just awesome chest floor in him and the way his head kind of comes out of his shoulders. He's got a killer look. And the Charlie. The consistent thing about Charlie is that big wide base and that big hip and, and, and 16 is a great example of that. You kind of go through that 17 bull that ain't pictured a little bit more calving ease. But he's a cool bull too. And, and then when you, you look at 18, he's. He kind of the most complete bull of the Charlie's.
A
He's.
B
He's got the base width, he's got the phenotype. We love his mother. I mean good footed sound and Utters it stacked into his mom pretty hard for a couple generations. So probably a little bit more spine length in 18 than 16 but. But just kind of two too similar yet in their rib cage and in their hip.
C
So yeah, like lot 18. Jared, I mean he's just been good since the day he was born. Yeah. Horizon. I mean he just been that kind.
A
Yes sir. Well then lots 20, lot 21 is next pictured and honestly he might be a little shorter hip compared to his contemporaries but I don't think that's a bad thing at all because I think like obviously these short back, big ribbed, shorter hip bulls are extremely cool looking and obviously he's a high growth bull that is extremely powerful. Talk to me about him and what he's represented for y'. All.
B
Yeah, no, I mean kind of the same pattern in that bowl. Maybe a little bit more moderate of a package but killer phenotype. I mean he's a cool looking dude. Females are going to be incredible and, and that's, it's just kind of the same pattern. Charlie's are incredibly consistent that way. This one's maybe just a nickel better like through that front one third. He's, he's really cool that way. Really long necked and when he gets out move he probably moves with the best of them.
A
Well then 24 will be next and that's another Charlie Sun. Obviously in my mind I think this one is extremely dense made reads to be extremely shaping, has a lot of low, a lot of lower stifle and quarter shape. Talk to me about him and what he looks like phenotypically as well off
B
phenotypically similar to 16, a little bit more bone, big hip, big middle off of a great payback cow. Those payback cows here have kind of we've built a program around them and you know we got a bull working down there in Oklahoma out of this cow already and I think that bulls actually getting a little bit up there in age but I know that the, the owner of that one loves him a lot and so she's put a couple at the front end of the deal too. And so this bull's probably kind of out of the Charlie's is up there in his terms of his power and his presence. So we like him quite a little bit. Really big, good foot on him as well.
A
Well then lock 25 is next listed in picture wise and what I've learned just in a short time of this being in the red Angus breed. The darker colored black featured bulls are extremely sought after and I Think this one is. Highlights that color as well. But his length and extension along with his added dimension is really intriguing.
C
Yeah, he's a freak.
B
Yeah, he's, he's a really cool looking dude. I mean, he's fun and you know, sometimes them bulls get a personality and he sure got one. Then he, he kind of thinks he's pretty sporty, so we like him quite a little bit. And I mean, if anybody's wanting to sire a show halfer or two, I mean, you, you should probably take a pretty hard look at 25. Really? Yeah, for sure.
C
I don't think you can make one any more square hipped and just.
B
Yeah.
C
Perfect, perfect profiling than that bull. I mean, he will catch your eye if you're independent bulls, like just looking around. That sucker stands out every time. Weston, he's one of them bulls that he's just got that perfect cookie cutter design that everyone wants. Beautiful fronted and perfect behind his shoulders and just sleek, sleek design. He's, he's a unique bull.
A
Well, 27 is the last of the Charlie sons and he's actually got that same color pattern, just the dark red with the black features and reads just like a moderate beef bull. That's got a lot of mass and dimension to him.
B
Yeah, you know, he's one of the younger bulls on the sale. It's kind of funny because a lot of people are finding him. Yeah, he probably is going to stay a little moderate, but I don't think too moderate. He's just a nickel younger, but he's super complete bull. He gets his dark color kind of from his mama who is a black, red carrier. And you know, she's had, I think that was her first red calf. So we've sold some really, really good bulls off of her that have been black. So I, I mean, don't miss that one because the cows as good as walks here. She's an incredibly long, incredibly sound. A lot of people come look at her and love her. So. Yeah, I think that bull's going to be a good buy for somebody on sale day. Nothing more than just because he's a little younger. So don't mix that.
C
Yeah. Then dark lady like you said, Jared. I mean, she's done miraculous things out there as far as just throwing so much body and mass and just awesome look. And she's just done an incredible job for the last several years.
A
28 and 29 are next and both these bulls are going to be out of a bull of yalls own called operator389. Talk to me about what that bull's done for your program and how he's relayed that over into the bulls that are selling in the sale.
B
Yeah, operators done great things here. He calves pretty moderate. We've actually ran him on heifers.
A
Yeah.
B
I mean, on a mass scale, I probably wouldn't recommend that. It's a little hit or miss. But what he's done here is put length of spine in and performance. To be honest with you, these cattle, they calve moderate and they grow. And he's just improved our spine length. And that Lot 28 bull is like kind of a rancher bull. He's got a long stride to him, going to cover cows, and he is going to put some weight on him. So we're pretty happy. I mean, the lot. Lot 29 bulls, a little different just because of the cow. He stays a little bit more moderate and a little bit more moderate on birth weight. But, you know, I think that lot 29, sure. Calf heifer is pretty. Pretty nice. And you have some pretty killer females out of the deal. So.
C
Yeah, like you said, Jared, I mean, the performance that operator gave us is incredible. I mean, just like the lot 28. I mean, he. He weaned off 835 pounds. I mean, if you're in the business to put pounds on some calves, he's. He's. He's a golden ticket, in my opinion.
A
Yeah, absolutely.
B
Just to add to that real quick, that that'd be that lot 28. And back to that lot 15, Charlie. They're both coming out of those 906 daughters, and they're doing a pretty good job here. They be maternal sisters to a bull called rage we sold a while back. And, I mean, you'll find those young females, they're kind of stamping these bulls and heifers back in our pen. And we're pretty excited about them, too, moving forward. I mean, pretty. Pretty good. Pretty consistent on the cow side on both those two bulls.
A
Yes, sir. For sure. Well, a lot 30s next. And he's out of a bull that's called outcome, but out of a cow y' all call Big Sky 326. And something that's like, outlier to me about the bull is his calving Ease direct. That's a really high number.
B
Yeah, he is asleep all night. Heifer bull. I mean, we even get it a little bit on the bottom side of that pedigree coming from the LSF program there. And then that cow we bought from Weber's. But length of spine, too, for a heifer. Bull in this guy and added phenotypes. Pretty cool. But yeah, that's what, that's definitely one you can put on heifers and you're, you probably aren't going to pull any. So sleep at night is right for sure.
C
Yeah. And the cool thing about him is he's like you said Weston, he's got a 19 for CED but and I'm weight weighed 72 pounds at birth but still yet he, he wasn't sacrificing weight. I mean he still got up there at £776 at weaning and 1330, 39 at yearland. So I mean a bull like that's valuable in my opinion to put on heifers that you're not going to sacrifice growth and you'll, you'll be able to keep some heifers back out of the Purple Rain. I mean I don't know that there's a better bull at Jared's that that is, is going to make a massive impact in time to come than the Purple rain bull. He's, he's leaving daughters that are just mouth watering. Good.
A
31 is next and 32. 32 is listed in the picture but 32 in my mind that's a really extended bull that's tall shouldered, big ribbed and still looks to read square and dimensional from behind as well. Talk to me about both those bulls and what they look like phenotypically at
B
31 will be another sleep all night heifer bull out of a, out of a big game or excuse me. Yeah, big game daughter there and, and that one will, that one will be kind of the same way as 30. You'll, you'll be pretty good shape there to two on heifers. But 32 is pretty exciting because I have a full sister to that bull and just calved here a couple middle of January with an incredible heifer calf on her and I mean she is just unbelievable. Maybe one of the better young cow prospects we have. So 32 reminds me a lot of her and like said, like Mike said, Purple Rain is going to do maternally some really, really cool things and we think this one's going to sire some really cool heifers and cows down the road. So that's a really good bull and just a touch younger but kind of keeping up with everything.
A
30 Lot 33 is next and he's next pictured as well. And what I love the most about the bull is the fact that he's a low birth weight and still sound structured level made good footed Bull. How about y'? All?
B
Yeah, yeah. These sirloins, they, they've done well from birth to, to adjusted weaning and yearling too. I mean they've, they're another kind of hefferable option that's going to get you, going to get you calved out. Right. But yet they're going to grow and they're going to have some muscle, they're going to have a little substance to them and we think that's important too. I mean you don't want to, you don't want to just have a live calf. You want to have a product when it's done and, and you know, I'd say like the Lock 34 bull may be just a little bit better in phenotype than the lot 33, he's got a little bit more middle, a little bit more hip, but either way they're excellent Heifer bull prospects. Agree and probably out for a little twist in a pedigree.
A
Well, 36 and 37 are both going to be out of that rage 115 bull of yalls. Talk to me about what they look like phenotypically. Obviously they're pretty consistent in terms of their calving, ease direct and both fairly low birth weight bulls as well. But they still get up there in terms of their, you know, weaning weight as well.
B
Yeah and it's, it's been fun Cavin Rage daughters too. They're, they're calving here in a couple years now and they're they big hipped, big pin cattle that. You know, that's funny because you'll, you always think Calvin a half her out takes forever but these things kind of lay down and just get after it and before you know it, the calf stops sucking. So Rage is sired that type of female real well. These two bulls are a little lighter on the birth weight scale but yet they're big middle big hip cattle that are going to leave you really nice females and the udders will be exceptional.
A
Well, 38's next listed in the picture and what I find intriguing is that he is that long necked, that tall shouldered and still can hold his top line strong right behind it and still be full about his fore ribbon heart and still progress back deep to his flank and still reads to be a really good footed bull. Talk to me about him, how he's bred and especially what you think on him.
B
Yeah, the propulsion cattle have done that. They've calved easy here and like you said, they've got good tops, good feet on them. This bull's one you kind of got to get here to see just because he's a little younger. But what he's done in the last month has been incredible. And I mean my opinion a lot. 38s. He is one of the very, very good heifer bulls to sell in this offering. He deserves a serious looking in those regards because he's phenotypically correct and the calving ease is right. And yeah, we're putting up pretty high on our heifer bull list.
A
Yeah, well, 39 and 40, you're next. And they're both going to be out of a bull that y' all own and use. It's called the Sunwood327. Talk to me about what he's done for your program and what the progeny have looked like so far.
B
Yeah, they're a little bit more growth in them, a little bit more spine and I like that lot 40 bull. Again, he's a little younger bull, but super complete cattle. Super good footed neck extensions. Great there too. And, and kind of just really good rancher bulls that are going to go out there and cover some ground, cover some cows and really good weight and product behind them.
A
Well, 41 and 42 are next and they're both going to be out of the payback 435 seed bull. Extremely consistent in terms of their calving ease direct and birth weight. So talk to me about what they've done for your program, how those look phenotypically.
C
I know for a fact, Jared, that when you flush that cow you were hoping for females.
B
I know for a fact that that's funny story that I thought they were females, but we were going to reverse sort them. But you kind of sometimes got to tell the place to flush at that because I guess I forgot.
C
Well, yeah, exactly. I know why you did it. I know why you did it too, because Payback has left a massive, I mean, just done an incredible job out there at your place. I mean, Payback daughters in general are just laying it down and they're just not normal red Angus. They're long spined and they're just beautiful, profiling, awesome uttered breed back and do their job, get one to the finish line type of cattle. And then like the 41 and 42 bulls, you know, I mean that's an ext, which I mean ext is like. I mean he's a foundation sire for the Angus breed that's done like more good for the Angus breeding, in my opinion. And, and Jared's the. Because I mean Jared kind of has deep roots Back in the Angus breed in the day at Legrand. And then on the bottom side you got the one Otto741K which the 900A cow is a maternal sister to GCC total recall. So I mean what you have here in, in our something that will absolutely level the playing field for making females. These things with the Black Eyed will take you to the next level. I mean genetically amazing longevity is built in. You name it, it's right there.
A
What do you just think it's intriguing that that obviously 41 is a red Angus bull, but he's black red carrier. So I think that that could be heavily utilized.
C
Oh for sure, yeah.
B
I mean the, the 41 or 42 bulls, there's no secret to it. You, you're gonna want females and you're gonna want all females if possible. I mean they're just, they're gonna be cows. And like Mike said about payback, it's our foundation cowherd. And I know 10 years from now we'll still be talking about that both on a lot of ways he put us on the map and we can see his influence in this catalog all over. So. And ext needs no introduction. So I mean these two dudes are going to put females and probably really any type of environment, whether it's an arid environment, a desert environment, I mean they're going to stay in condition, they're going to stay sound and just take a look at these things and yeah, it's a throwback pedigree and it's a little different twist but I mean I think they're going to do some cool things for sure.
A
Well to end this sale is 43 and 44 and they're both going to be out of that PI complete 2085. Obviously in my mind they're a little probably different in their type and kind. I've never seen them in person nor do I see a picture. But just looking at their genetic scripts, they might read a little different in terms of them phenotypically. I could be wrong. But tell me what you think, Jared.
B
No, that's absolutely the case. 43 would be a sleep all night heifer bull a little bit more moderate. The, the bottom side of that pedigree is pretty cool. That 7001 payback cows done great things here, first daughter there. So we got the little birth weight side to click in. But, but when we go to that 44 bowl there, we kind of hooked up on some birth and, and some length of spine. But we also got the performance off the calf that's a really cool, young Purple Rain daughter that goes back to that 8011 cow. We flushed that 8011 cow a couple times. We've had a lot of progeny out of her. The. Her bull leads off the sail there at lot one. So that's just a little bit more gas and that kind of come with a little bit more birth weight. But we're so we're sure comfortable with that. Wouldn't recommend the 44 bull on heifers, but that 43 bull would be pretty safe and pretty cool package there.
A
Well, that kind of wraps up the sale. Obviously, you can find it on DV Auctions. It happens on March 6th at 5:30pm Central Standard Time. They are located in South Dakota. Is there anything else that y' all would like to tack on before we wrap up the preview?
C
Yeah, Weston, I was just going to say real quick, literally, Jared's place, you could throw a Rock at 6:05 sire. So if you're in the. In the area, maybe going. Maybe touring through the, you know, the bull stud or just for location of ease. He's right next door to 605Sires. We're going to have a meal the night of the sale and right after, and everything will be right there handy to get a hold of. And the bulls are right there close by the sale. Sale area come out. And you can feel free to come through anytime between now and sell time to preview the bulls. They're right in front of Jared's house, so right beside 605 sires. I mean, it's very convenient to find. And we're. We're really excited about this set of bulls and excited to show people. I know Jared's had quite a, you know, off and on traffic here lately. Had quite a bit of traffic. And people come in and they just are shocked because they like, like I said, the videos are done. But I'm telling you, these bulls change every day and, and they're just putting more and more mass on and as they mature and it seems like every week there's something else that's rising to the top. So, I mean, these bulls are. Are doing it on their own time, but, I mean, it's. It's been a fun process watching them explode, and we're excited to show these things to the public.
A
Absolutely. Mr. Jared, how about you?
B
Yeah, I'd just like to invite everybody. Not typical South Dakota weather this winter. So it's been real nice. Looks real nice. Kind of leading up to the sale, might get a. Might get a day or here too. That's a little colder with a few flakes, but weather's good. Cattle looks good. The cows are all running right close. Swing in. I. I think I'll. I don't have any beer, but I probably get some here the next couple days so we can drive around and look at cows and. And talk cattle. We love doing that. We're going to be around, and I think it's. I think it's great when guys get here and they're able to see everything. Kind of tells the story.
C
So, yeah, I was going to say that it's. It's. That's what makes this deal so awesome. Weston, too, because, like, you can look through the bulls and say if you want to see their moms, I mean, it's literally, you know, five minutes and you're there. I mean, you can see the factory that built them. So it's a very unique situation. And we. And I'll promise you, Jared, don't hide anything. Puts everything on front street. And I mean, that's what I love about him because, I mean, he's straight up, straight shooter, and I've enjoyed working with him and look forward to in the future.
A
Well, that wraps up the preview here. Obviously, you'll be able to find everything on DV auctions or through Premium Beef Genetics through Mike Marlowe. And so grateful that I was able to represent both of y'. All. Grateful to do business with Mr. Marlowe, as always. And so, with that said, empowerment's here. Thank y' all for tuning in. Thank you.
