A
Okay. All right, listen. I have had the opportunity to do a bunch of previews here lately, but I ain't ever had the opportunity to do one like this. I got all three of the Waldrick brothers on here, plus Jagger horn. Now, if that don't tell you how good this platform is, I don't know what does. I got all four of these guys on here. The only person we're missing is Dos Torres, but obviously, Jaggerhorn does a better job than him. Sorry, Dos, I'm not trying to pick on you. So, October 24th, Walter Brothers are having a genetic sale. With that said, Jaggerhorn's gonna take it away. He's gonna tell y' all kind of about the sale, what he thinks of it, his expectations, and then the boys are gonna get on a roll, and we're gonna go through all these lots.
- [00:43]
B
As Weston said, I am a co sales rep along with Dos Torres, and I don't know if I really appreciate this down talk of my good buddy Dos Torres. He does a lot of hard work. He just didn't have to make the phone call today.
- [00:58]
A
All fun and games. All fun and games.
- [01:00]
B
Yeah, I get it. But all seriousness, we are the sales rep for the Waldorf Bros. We hope that you call with any comments or questions that you might have about the sale or the sale format. Our names and phone numbers will be listed at the top of the sale. And we are both very, very knowledgeable of the hero herd that the Waldorf Bros. Have put together and all of the semen and embryos that they have to offer. And so I'm gonna let the boys talk about. About each lot. I might chime back in when we get closer to the crossbreds because that goes back to our roots here at Horn Livestock. And so from there, I'm gonna let the boys take it away.
- [01:45]
A
Absolutely. All right, Jake, Code, and Chase, we start off with lot one through five. You got this bull. He is special. Say that I saw his picture as a baby when Mugi had him up for sale. Y' all call him. Open the gate. I think he's a killer. Half blood Brahmin. If you don't know me well, whatever. But this bull, he's got the goods. He's a good half blood Brahmin bull. I want them to elaborate on him, what he has to offer to the American industry.
- [02:15]
C
Jake and I actually robbed Chase's. We robbed Chase's rental car one day to go look at these bramers last minute. He was highly impressed, at least. Anyways, we got over there. We're mainly going to look. And we liked lot two's picture. Obviously it was very good. Lot five. And then I loved lot 15's color. He was very uniquely tiger striped. I don't know how to explain it, it just grabbed me. But we were going to look at them and I thought the four standout lots were 2, 9, 5 and 15. 15. They're all brothers. There were several brothers in that flush. And of all the half blood flushes that I've ever looked at, which I'm not gonna lie and say is like 50 of them, but there's been a handful at Rory D's and thick pins and those. Anyways, there's been a decent chunk of them. I thought that was the most consistent flush of half blood steers I've ever seen in my life. And one of my favorite bulls of Brandon's is 11, 750. And they're out of that, so that helped.
- [03:20]
D
About halfway through it, we figured out.
- [03:22]
C
They'Re all still bulls. And I remember Jake and I looked at each other, we were like, hey, what if we. Because we've got a handful of half blood cows and the bull would be an outcross to all of them, both sire and dam. And like, what if we. I wonder if we could keep one a bull. And so we looked and asked and they said yes. And they retained 50% of them. But I just remember thinking, we'll just buy a couple of them. We needed a couple steers for some customers and once we got them home, we'd figured out which one we keep a bull. And anyways, we got number two, five and 15, bought nine, ended up being breed champion for a different family at Austin, and five ended up being reserve champion for Cash Parker, Jeff Parker's oldest boy. I'm sorry. Chance Parker, Jeff Parker's second oldest boy at Houston. And anyways, I thought the bull was awesome. Jake and Chase can maybe discuss with you how they were built, but that's kind of how it shook out. Fifteen was still one of my favorite ones. He was by far the skinniest and greenest, but he did not make it through the halter breaking, weaning and castrating and dehorning that all transpired in about three weeks. He ended up getting a respiratory deal just I think primarily through the stress and didn't make it. But of the we picked out for the three that lived, all turned out in my mind. And I think the bulls really, really good. If they miss anything, I will be sure to let them know, but I'll Let Jake or Chase or both kind of describe in terms of how the bulls built and how we think that matches up good with our cows.
- [04:54]
E
Yeah, yeah. No, I mean, I think the bull himself is extremely good looking. Moves incredibly awesome. He's big back, big ass. His color is, I know, tiger stripes, tiger stripe, but he's the type of tiger stripe. I'll throw light colored ones, dark colored ones. If, in my opinion, if you have a black colored half blood, I'm not saying you're starting by an eight ball, but a lighter or darker tiger stripe obviously helps, in my opinion. But I think he's a bull that you can breed to a cow with and a variety of characteristics in terms of how they're built. I think that he'll complement whatever cow in a multitude of ways. I think he's a pretty, pretty safe bet in terms of whatever half blood you have as far as raising the quality of them. That's how I see him, at least.
- [05:43]
B
I want to mention this is Jagger checking back in. I wanted to mention on the, the half blood bull, the one thing that I not raising Brahmins whatsoever, but I've always found interesting and unique about the bull is the fact that he's TH and ds. And having that ability to throw that genetic factor into any. Into your half blood mating system I think could be a unique addition to what you're offering in terms of their genetic potential. Optimizing their genetic potential for sure.
- [06:23]
A
So what he's saying is if you got a triple clean cow and you're trying to make awesome Americans, you breed all the way to open the gate. That's what he's saying.
- [06:30]
E
I mean, yeah, we've literally bred them to Herefords. I mean, and Bitsy and Chase have been more hands on and integrated in Stockdale than I have, but we've bred them to Americans, crossbreds, half bloods, I mean, literally everything. And I mean, he's, he's work. The calves are young, obviously, but I mean, they look very, very good. Chase can probably break some of those younger calves down because he's been there. Yeah, they hit the ground and yeah, we, we've had.
- [06:58]
D
I think the first ones were born about a month ago. Out of the cow we call Massey, there was a black one. The coolest thing about them so far is the variation of color. Super Dave would be proud. The first one was black, and then there was a red heifer, black tiger stripe. Then there was a black bull with white on its forehead. And then just on the 19th, two days ago, we had a one that. Man, it looks it. It looks as good as. As one could look at, you know, two days old. It's the red brindle with a white shape, State of Florida on its forehead. It looks awesome.
- [07:35]
C
It.
- [07:35]
D
It really looks like it's marked about like bingo was a few years ago. I don't know if y' all remember that one, the first one already bought out of B10 from the climb dispersal.
- [07:43]
A
Yeah. Oh, yeah.
- [07:45]
D
It's marked about like bingo pretty from what I remember. It's the craziest thing about the. It blows my mind how they change color. I mean, Weston, I know you could probably attest to that. But, like, even open the gate himself, I mean, you can see on the sail, that's his calf picture. Horn makes fun of us when we say baby picture, but that in his calf picture, you can see what color he was and as a mature bull, how he's darkened up. And that's pretty, pretty unique about the bull in himself. I mean, the. One of the coolest things too, about him is just how. And he's been like that since he was a calf is just how chubby he was. I would say short, kind of everywhere. That's. I mean, some of those half bloods, you know how kind of big they can get and how. And I mean, them things can weigh a bunch. That was kind of one of the deciding factors, I would say too, in terms of which one, to keep a bull between him and Lot 5, he was always just chubbier, lower to the ground, put together a little bit better anyway.
- [08:39]
A
And that's one thing that Thigpen had always said, like, moderation is. Is definitely something sought after for these Brahmin bulls or half blood Brahmin bulls, because obviously these purebred Brahmin bulls have a little bit more size and frame to them. And so incorporating that into progeny is definitely a little harder to make them more sought after in the show ring. So this bull having a little more moderation, a little more, I guess, color, and then on top of his boldness of ribbon and really, really good build, I think that makes that bull really, really unique. But the thing that sets him apart is him having genetic defects. And so I think him having those genetic defects, being able to pair him to really any type of triple clean cow, which, let's be honest, most of American cows are triple clean or only have one genetic defect. If you're ballsy enough, you can go DS on ds. And I think it works really good majority of the time. Now I Say that because I told Cade Waldrip a couple days ago, if you ain't doing DS on ds, you ain't trying hard enough.
- [09:38]
D
That's right.
- [09:39]
A
With that said, hey, I do want.
- [09:42]
D
To add, look, we had one this morning out of a cow that was. That goes back to one of my dad's or my dad's very best Hereford. That cow's pha. And this calf does look good. And anyway, so I guess that calf's got the potential to be all three. But we bred them to pha carriers, DS carriers and Herefords, crossbreds, Americans, half bloods, pretty much. We kind of opened the floodgates on them last year and just we thought, hey, we'd know one way or the other what we're going to. If they're going to be good or not good. So in the month, in this month alone, I bet we've had 10 or 12 of them. And there's another, we've probably got 20 left to cav. And I think 75% of them are all out of open the gate. So we're very excited and really, really happy with what we've got on the ground so far.
- [10:29]
C
The last, last thing I'll add is I think that first of all, he's got the greatest name ever. Because you want to breed your cow to you just. It's simple. You just open the gate. So that's great. And then also, in all seriousness, I'm gone a lot, and it's been interesting for me to come back after being gone for seven or 10 or 15 days and see one out of that bull that maybe was born and looked a little tall or something of that nature and see how fast they've gotten chubby looking. A lot of them have been born chubby looking, but even some of the ones that looked, ah, maybe that's the one that he's not going to hit on. I'm talking within seven days, man. It's night and day difference in terms of how much they're improving. And we're extremely excited for what the future holds for those calves as well as this bull. We hope you like them. If you don't, maybe after you see some calves out of them, you will.
- [11:25]
A
That's right.
- [11:26]
F
That's right.
- [11:26]
A
Well, then you got this Hereford bull called Spotless. Obviously he's a DS carrier, but he's.
- [11:31]
C
Kind of a Hereford cross.
- [11:32]
A
So I want y' all to elaborate on what this bull has to offer from yalls perspective.
- [11:37]
D
Yeah, we, we actually. It's kind of funny on this Bull. We, we tried to buy this bull as a calf from Brandon Patchke. Heck, I don't remember what spring that would have been.
- [11:48]
C
I think everybody did.
- [11:50]
D
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Have you seen the little calf picture of him? I mean, he's got the biggest, fattest, hairiest back leg and hip and I mean it just all looks tremendous. And anyway, obviously we didn't get him bought.
- [12:01]
C
Really didn't.
- [12:02]
D
I kind of forgot what happened to him until Patsky had that bull sale last October and it was 10 o' clock at night on steer bidder. The sale was about to end and I thought. Or so we thought. And I got a call from. From Bitsy and he said, man, I just. That, you know, that's a great. That is a great deal. I think he was. I don't remember what he's bringing. 75,000, 7,000 maybe. He said, hey. He said, let's. Let's hit him once. And you know how that goes. That turns into six or seven times.
- [12:35]
C
Of going at it and sometimes it does.
- [12:40]
D
Yeah. Anyway, hey. But this time we did hit him once and we did own him. And so we got him down and he's out of a bull called Stained, which we really hadn't used that bull a bunch of patch keys. But they've sold good for him in that main event sale 1st of March and they've had some success. Yeah, that is right.
- [13:00]
C
We won heavyweights at Houston one year with one we bought from Patchke and made the sale with a red cross that we bought from Pat Ski with another one. There's only two we've ever bought. They're both branded.
- [13:11]
D
And how about that we had. We'd kind of known as Pedigree to some degree. But I mean, if you see this video of him as a calf, you just cannot get it out of your head. And it was kind of cool to at the time. Hey, it wouldn't have mattered if he would have sold them because we wouldn't have been able to write the check for him. I mean, he looked that good. So anyway, we hit the bull, got him bought and got him down here. And we thought, what were you going to name him? Jaime. Y' all know the story of Jaime, but he's obviously on a Zach Brian kick with open the gate. And then he thought, hey. He thought, hey, I got his name. It's so simple. And I thought, what are you talking about? He goes, he's a stained. What's his name? I said, I don't know. We've been trying to name him for two weeks. And he said, it's spotless. I thought, man, that's. That really is pretty good. And I hate to give him credit for it, but it was. It was the best name ever. Hey. And the best part is the first calf we had out of them has a spot right in the middle of his forehead.
- [14:09]
A
How about that? How about that?
- [14:11]
D
But it's a heifer, and she looks great, and she'll. The color is great. So that bull's a DS carrier, and we are sure glad to have them big dig legs.
- [14:21]
E
Awesome.
- [14:22]
F
So now you got the rest of us. And I know I ain't met y' all before, so I'm Luke Doming. I know I'm not quite the same Luke.
- [14:28]
C
You're missing out.
- [14:29]
F
A fellow Texan from the old, old boot state, but there you go.
- [14:34]
A
He's a Cajun, he loves swamp people, and he loves shrimp. That's all I'm gonna say.
- [14:40]
F
Crawfish Weston.
- [14:41]
A
Whatever.
- [14:42]
C
I don't care.
- [14:42]
A
It's still the same thing.
- [14:44]
C
Shrimp, crawfish.
- [14:48]
F
The next one y' all gots this outsider bull that's out of some 111 genetics. It's another DS carrier.
- [14:52]
C
Yeah, that's be Jake's project here.
- [14:54]
E
Yeah. So the Eric Dreger was having a sale, and we had me and chasing Bitsy, seen the cow online and talked about her. Oh, you know, a week out, roughly. And long story short, we told each other, you know, that we'd keep our eye on her. And so the night of the sale come along, and I had forgotten about it completely, and I logged on, and it was, you know, final call or whatever you want to say, the sales winding down.
- [15:23]
A
Final bid. Oh, my gosh.
- [15:25]
E
Yeah, yeah. And so she's bringing within our budget. And so I was in fear of that the sale was going to end, so I just bid on her, and then.
- [15:33]
C
I don't have a budget.
- [15:34]
E
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Right.
- [15:38]
D
Yeah, yeah.
- [15:38]
E
That is not true. And so anyway, so then I. I called Bitsy and Chase, and I said, hey, what do y' all think? You know, this is where she is. Y' all think it's worth trying? And they were like, probably not. I was like, well, I actually already bid. And long story short, that was one of the few times that we bid once and owned the cow, and that was the calf that was in her belly when we bought her.
- [16:01]
A
That's the few times they ever let you bid again.
- [16:04]
E
Yeah, exactly. And anyways, that got the cow, Kevin.
- [16:07]
D
Hart and the Rock. Are you in or.
- [16:09]
C
Yeah, I'm Out.
- [16:11]
E
Well, you're already in. Yeah.
- [16:14]
D
Why would you ask me if I'm already out?
- [16:20]
C
We.
- [16:20]
E
We get her bought and see calves. And that was the outsider caf. And if you click on that bull's lot video or whatever, there's a little video. That bull, I don't know if it was three days old, seven days old, whatever, is a very short period of his life. And he was. Ever since he was born, he's just ginormous feet and legs. Used them the right way. Awesome looking, you know, big ass, big back ball. All the good things you want to say about one. And just one of those that kind of hits you in between the eyes. It just worked out that year that we had enough steers to sell and had enough income that we felt like he was one we needed to keep full. And we've had a few calves out of them that look real, real, real good. And we're obviously going to use them to clean up. We're going to AI to them and. And I'm sure we'll probably flush a cow or two if I was a betting man.
- [17:08]
A
Awesome. We.
- [17:10]
C
We also. I'll just add to that just a little. When it was time to. He was a little young. If he was gonna classify as a Hereford steer in Texas, he probably needed to be an Odessa one. And he was born basically October 1st, like September 29th or something. And so that played into our role a little bit. And we talked to Drager about it, and he said, well, listen, like, I'm not telling you what to do, but we may would be interested in buying part of him back regardless. He said, you're probably not going to buy. You're probably going to breed that cow back that way. So why don't you keep the only one you're ever going to have out of that meeting intact and see what happens. And we did. And anyways, these. He's looked good his whole life, but I feel like here in the last little bit, he's really as. He's finally coming around and maturing. I feel like he's really, really come on. And both on the first Hereford bull and this one for a clean bull, both of their hair quality is incredible in my mind.
- [18:08]
A
Right. Well, I think tack onto this. 11. Bill is dead, so to have a son out of him already, that's impressive enough. I think that bull was a nice bull as well.
- [18:18]
C
Yep.
- [18:20]
A
Battleship's next. Did you get. So it says th. False. Pha. False. Did y' all test him for DS or is he triple clean?
- [18:26]
D
That's a.
- [18:27]
C
He's not our bull.
- [18:28]
D
No, I don't say older bull. He's not our bull.
- [18:30]
A
Okay.
- [18:31]
D
Okay.
- [18:32]
A
I am not a Hereford person, so I'm just laying that out online. Hey.
- [18:37]
C
Yeah.
- [18:37]
B
No, I'm just.
- [18:38]
C
The next two or three bulls are just primarily legends. More popular bulls that are hard to get semen on. And somehow or another, we.
- [18:46]
B
Each bull's probably a different story how.
- [18:48]
C
We ended up with it. But we've gotten a big enough pile of the semen to offer some.
- [18:53]
A
All right, so let's do this. Let's do this. Talk about the story, how you got the semen on these bulls and what you think of them. Let's just do that.
- [19:01]
E
Super Dave.
- [19:02]
C
Yep. Chase, you want to do Battleship?
- [19:04]
D
We walked.
- [19:05]
C
We walked in a dark alleyway.
- [19:10]
D
Yeah. Yeah. But we. We had. We.
- [19:13]
B
I.
- [19:13]
D
We got to Going through our inventory and had enough of it. That he's a. Been a popular sire. Has said that Ben worked really good on. Right on and right on time. Genetics. Some of those. Majorite genetics. He is double clean. I don't know that he was ever tested for ds but my dad has had several of those things that have sold very, very well. And they've done well, too, at Fort Worth. Those things have really, really good hair. But I mean, I'm talking. They've. They've sold.
- [19:45]
C
They've sold, I bet four or five.
- [19:47]
D
Head for in the range of 25 to 30,000 that have been Battleship sired. Back on major. Right on genetics. That those. That bull has done has had some success and has been very popular here in recent years. And the bulls dead. And there has said to be not a lot of semen on them. I'd say I haven't seen any sell in quite a while. And.
- [20:13]
B
Yes.
- [20:13]
D
Yeah. Larry Kishnik and Chris Black, I think own the bull or own the bull. I don't know who I mean. He's dead. I know that. So anyway, that's kind of the story on Battleship. I know it's hard. Hard to find. And there's been lots of winners out of them.
- [20:28]
F
So I want to just quickly run over the next couple lots that y' all just got semen on or.
- [20:32]
B
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- [20:34]
C
The next two bulls are brothers. We can kind of run them together just right and right on. They don't really need much introduction. Probably they have sired more champions than most other Hereford bulls combined. Probably right on especially. But Bradley raised the bulls. If I'm not mistaken. There's any Hereford historians. Don't kill me if I'm wrong. I know. Rusty Day specifically told me that he remembers going up there and there was a flush of siblings and there was one heifer and all the rest were bulls. And that heifer we'll talk about later. Her number was 925, which my dad and them ended up buying half of later from Bradley. And then there was two that were kept bulls just right and right on. Pat Ski bought one and Bradley kept one. And then the rest were all cut for steers, one of which Rusty bought for one of his best families at the time anyways. They don't really need much introduction or explanation on how to use them. They work really good. Anybody that's going to be wanting the semen is going to know that. And we want it for a reason. They will do nothing but add quality. A lot of our really good cows are either direct daughters or granddaughters of those two bulls. The just right bull has made a lot of really really good cows out of 003, which is my dad's really good Hereford cow over at Open Bar. And the ride on has made a lot of really good steer calves. I don't know if that's just a kind of freak accident or if that's normally how that works or what, but something I've noticed.
- [22:05]
A
So now on this lot 24. I don't know how to pronounce that.
- [22:09]
C
Name, but he looks like Jake. Give it a try.
- [22:11]
A
Give it a try. Jake.
- [22:12]
E
Come on on 24.
- [22:15]
C
Yeah. K. Not even logged in.
- [22:19]
E
No, I am K. Yeah. No, K is a bull that Weston born raised. And for anybody that's been in the Hereford business or is newly to it, it doesn't matter. Knows that he's kind of falls in that category of just right and right on as far as always continuing to show back up in some form or fashion. Whether it's the cow or Grandam grand sire, whatever you want to say. At some point when the you all the chips fall and you go to study him and look back in pedigrees, more than likely he's going to show up somewhere in some form or fashion. We've had the bits you mentioned. The 925 cow is being a flush mate to ride on and. And just right. We flushed that 925 cow to Collijah and she had a few banner winners. I know one at Fort Worth for sure. Or no, she's probably had.
- [23:07]
D
She's probably had four. Four or five between Fort Worth and Odessa.
- [23:11]
E
Yeah. 2017 was a collage of 925 help jog my memory chasing Bitsy. But I think 2018, the Reserve Champion Hereford the Welpers family had may have.
- [23:23]
D
Been a Clyde Ben Besner and them. They showed a couple, I know for sure.
- [23:26]
E
Yeah, there's been.
- [23:28]
C
Skyl's had one, there's been a few.
- [23:31]
E
Long story short, though, that thing adds.
- [23:33]
D
A lot of a really, really good.
- [23:35]
E
Hair quality and then just overall quality, animal wise. They're sound, they're good looking, they're chubby, they're soft made. And they're just easy to like, easy to. From a guy that's trying to raise them. They're easy to sell.
- [23:47]
D
And in my opinion, they make really, really good cows.
- [23:50]
E
Yeah. Yeah.
- [23:52]
C
We make a point of flush to them every year.
- [23:55]
D
Our first flush, this or our first due date. We typically have a pretty large group of Herefords due into July. Like this year, it was July 24th. It just happened like we're transferring embryos tomorrow. Those happen to be July 24th as well. But like, this year, I bet we had close to 40 Herefords born between Matador and Collijah for our first flush. And half of them were collages.
- [24:17]
C
So we're still.
- [24:18]
D
Still using them to this day.
- [24:20]
F
Now, next, is this the. This world bulls?
- [24:22]
C
This triple clean.
- [24:23]
F
Is that another one of y'?
- [24:23]
E
All?
- [24:23]
C
Is that. Yes it.
- [24:25]
F
Or at least y'.
- [24:25]
E
All.
- [24:26]
C
That's a good one.
- [24:27]
A
Kate's hyped up about that one.
- [24:29]
D
He's out of this world.
- [24:31]
A
He's out of this world.
- [24:32]
C
He is not out of this world. He is not out of this world. But if you breed your cows to him, they will be out of this world. That's right.
- [24:41]
E
Chase and Bitsy called me from Lubbock one day, and they were like, hey, you know, we got the just right. 603. Like, we're gonna keep them a bull. And they're like, we already got them named. And I was like, this will be good. And they're like, we're gonna name them this world. And I was like, okay. And they're like. That way, when we get calves out of the ground, somebody goes, what's that one? Oh, he's out of this world.
- [25:03]
C
It's gonna be hard to believe, but we can't take credit for the creativity there. Even though I know it's hard to imagine for the general public that we didn't come up with something so creative. But it was actually Mr. Harlan, which is where we were keeping our calves while we were going to school up there. But he was selling. Yeah, we were Both getting educated. I think we were trying to sell him a calf out of some bull that was some stellar name, like Kalija, right? Or something. Stellar. He said, hey, man, like, could y' all name a bull something like, cool?
- [25:36]
B
I was like, yeah, I guess.
- [25:37]
C
He was like, all right, well, like, I want you to name one like this world. That way when I ask what he's out of, you can tell me. He's out of this world. And I was like, all right, it's done. And that bull just so happened to be standing in the pin there, and we'd already decided we were keeping him a bull. So instantly I was like, all right, chase our bulls named. We're done here.
- [25:54]
F
That's pretty cool.
- [25:54]
D
Hey, that was one of the most. That bulls probably means as much to us as. Or at least to me as any. Any of them. Just because that was a time in our life that we were. I mean, I still consider us kind of on the front side of our adventure together, doing this whole deal. But that was like Bitsy said when we were going up there, going to school, Jake was kind of manning man and everything down here in Stockdale for us getting cows, bread and everything and that. That was in march, I think 20, 21 is when it was. I have that in my head. But it was during the bad, bad snow. Snowstorm every day. Mitzi and I drove. I think Bitsy and I drove 1200 miles, maybe in four days.
- [26:32]
C
My dad was impressed. It was that really bad year that we had. The bad storm in February. I'm pretty sure maybe it was February.
- [26:38]
D
Yeah.
- [26:38]
C
And it was like four days. No power for everybody. And we used Mr. Harlan's truck.
- [26:43]
B
Poor guy.
- [26:44]
C
He let us drive a lot of miles in his rig. And of all things, we walked up to him, like, there's national news. Don't drive in Texas. And we're like, hey, would you mind if we run down the road and pick up some cash? He's like, yeah, no, whatever y' all need to do. Just be careful. He's like, where you going? We were like, kind of everywhere, actually.
- [27:03]
E
Where aren't we going?
- [27:05]
D
Hey, I'm serious. I think we drove 1200 miles in three days or four days.
- [27:09]
C
Something like.
- [27:10]
D
I mean, it was. We went everywhere. So somehow or another, we found.
- [27:12]
C
We come to this in cross planes everywhere, man.
- [27:16]
D
Yeah, to this guy, Tom Ed Johnson. Tom Ed Johnson raised the bull. And anyway, we found ourselves speaking for him. And it was kind of funny because actually, now my future father in law had come.
- [27:29]
C
Boy, watch out.
- [27:30]
D
He had Come I thought he was going to buy them two times, I thought. I think we priced him at 12, 5 or 15,000 to make a steer. A steer for him at Fort Worth or Houston or wherever. He looked great, like he was going to win no matter what. And anyway, somehow or another he didn't buy them. And Cade Bitsy at some point said, hey, I've been thinking we might just keep him a bull. We're gathering more Hereford cows. We're gonna need something to breed them because Jake doesn't know how to AI him.
- [27:57]
E
And I'll do my best.
- [27:59]
D
And so anyway, we. That's kind of how he came. And then long story short, which long story now, but we started long. Yeah. We ended up being blessed enough to buy the cow 603 when she was about 13, 14 years old. And it kind of came together.
- [28:15]
B
Can you explain to us what that cow means to you?
- [28:19]
D
No, I mean, that cow really was awesome. I mean, she. She was at the ender. Hey, Big Pin told us, told us this about buying. The best thing to do is. I think maybe Thick Pin, maybe it's Ricky Dad. I think it was both of them. Just how, you know, you kind of get in on someone's genetics towards the latter end of their life. We'll talk about Massey here in a minute. But like, we bought Massey as a 10 or 11 year old. We bought 603 as a 15 year old, maybe, but tried to squeeze just with the. Being blessed with the IVF technology and just the advancements of technology every day. I mean, you can get some life out of those cows that are, quote, unquote, done or washed up. So that. That was kind of cool how we ended up. We bought this world before we owned 603 and then we were able to buy 603 and we got some stuff out of her.
- [29:05]
C
And so that.
- [29:05]
D
That was kind of cool. But that was kind of the first bull that we were able to kind of call our, you know, our own, so to speak.
- [29:12]
A
How about that?
- [29:13]
C
Also think while we're on this, it's important to probably talk about the bull a little bit more than what we have. We've all talked about his name and that's about it. But in terms of the bull's build and how to breed him, my two favorite things about the bull, on a serious note, would be the slope to his shoulder and set to his knee and his length of body, which are two areas that I think Hereford cattle in general and Hare Club calves especially need help, is they can get a little Bit long bodied and a little bit straight shouldered. Or a lot of both of those if you're not careful. And so on a bullet triple clean, that's going to add hair. And knowing that he can make their shoulder and knee better and shorten them up in terms of length or body, I think that's a really, really good thing. The bad part for us is we don't have a ton of th cows. And trying to convince somebody to breed to an unproven bull that you're not breeding to yourself can be hard. But we're slowly getting more th carrying cows and we've possibly got the very best calf we've ever raised. Hereford wise, in my opinion. On the ground. His pictures on the sale. He's actually out of a full sister to the one Holly won for worth with, which would be a reserve grant at Fort Worth. I'm sorry, the year of the day is one. The cows are right on. Carp diem.
- [30:29]
E
The cows, Carpadium 841.
- [30:32]
C
Calf was.
- [30:32]
E
Yeah, right on.
- [30:33]
C
Yeah. And then the calf on the ground is out of that heifer, which is a. The calf is of this world. Right on. Open Bar 541. His pictures on our sale.
- [30:43]
E
And the calf really is incredible.
- [30:47]
B
His.
- [30:48]
C
The bull adds hair. And when you shorten them up, it's gonna add belly. And the Long family has a nice steer on feed for Odessa that Bradley Hale raised. Anyways, I think the bull has a place and I think every year as it goes by, that will become more and more evident.
- [31:03]
A
Yes, sir. All right, so then you got Little Man. And I know this is probably what they call one of you Waldron boys. Little Man.
- [31:12]
C
Wilder. Wilder. Little Man. Yeah.
- [31:18]
A
Bull's obviously got the genetic.
- [31:20]
C
There's one other time of day.
- [31:21]
B
He's the littlest Waldorf right now.
- [31:23]
C
Little man. Once. Once a day, Chase gets called Little Man. But we'll leave that out. If you edit that out, we ain't paying.
- [31:33]
A
Hey, stay, because I ain't doing this for free. This ain't just pure entertainment, guys.
- [31:36]
E
Come on, Bits.
- [31:39]
D
You want to talk about Little Man?
- [31:40]
C
Yeah. The next two. The next two bulls are both our heifer bulls. So we can kind of group them into one. One to Charolay. Jagger can chime in on both of these. He's played a role in both their lives. Little Man. The sisters is what we call them. Their name is Beth and Becky. They're from San Angelo, slash Carlsbad. And we went there. They've been blowing me up to come look at this calf. He was the greatest one ever. Beth in particular is real sure of it to this day, I'll add. And he was. I don't even know what bullies out of it doesn't matter. That's how good he was. But he had way too much muscle. He's extremely stout. Way too much muscle. But she said, hey, you gotta come look. You gotta come look. And finally, me and Jagger happened to be passing through San Angelo. I said, hey, can we please stop? He said, I mean, it's 8 o' clock at night. It's about to be dark. But I guess. And so I called him. We stopped and we look at the calf and Jagger looks at me. He's like, this is why we stopped. I said, yeah, sorry. Answer. Anyways, through the fence a ways, I look over and there's this other Hereford calf running around with jackrabbit ears on top of his head, bouncing off the walls. Looks incredible. And I'm like, hey, what is that calf? And they said, ah, that's just a riptide. He's no, you don't want him. They didn't say, he's no good. They said, you don't want him. I said, how come? Is he crazy? They said, no. And I mean, this thing's presence for a Hereford calf is incredible. He's a little bit small, but I'm like, hey, do with him. They said nothing. I said, okay, I want him. I think I can sell him. Which, it's June 27th, I might add. And I said, can you please. We're still at the Harlan's at this point. I said, can you get him to Wellman? They said, yeah. I mean, I guess, like, they kind of rolled their eyes like, whatever you're thinking. I said, cool, okay, get him to Wellman. Short story long, we got him to Wellman and the days validated the calf and he was reserve breed champion. I don't remember the year in 2023, under Griner, we won the heavyweights with that calf out of Stained, that Pat the Warner family showed. And Pat Ski or the days showed this one, he's reserve breed champion. He's second to Beerwinkle in the middles on that same trip. Jagger was with me still, obviously, they drug us over to this barn to show us this February out of my dad's heifer bull. And his name was Little man, and his name became Little Man. I should say his original name was Spencer, but born in the snow, same year. Jagger, you want to tell them about Little Man?
- [34:12]
B
Yeah. So we were driving through in the real thick San Angelo mesquite. And they said, hey, we got to show you this calf. He's just the cutest thing we ever saw in our entire life. And gosh, more moral of the story, we. We pull up to this kind of this little bitty pen. I mean, there's probably a 20 by 20 pin. It had a little shed, like a little awning, and out comes the cow. And then we're like, like, what are you trying to show us here?
- [34:45]
C
And they.
- [34:47]
B
We walk into this little shed or barn type situation, and there's this little bitty tiny calf. And Bitsy says, well, what you're playing here? And I'm. I'm thinking, hey, what is this guy thinking? Like, this calf's of February. He's tiny. Like, at this point in time, like, we'd had this world, and that was about the only bull experience that we had up to that point. And I was just thinking to myself, like, what do we need a February Hereford steer for? And needless of say, Bitsy, he was thinking a lot further ahead than I was. He.
- [35:27]
C
The part that got my brain. Got my brain thinking that way, not interrupt you, but is they ended up telling us what his mom was, and she was out of their neighbor's purebred Hereford Heer bull. And then a cow that Thigpen originally sold to Jansen Merrill Thick pin.
- [35:44]
A
Owning a Hereford that don't make sense.
- [35:47]
C
That should tell you. That should.
- [35:49]
B
And she is.
- [35:49]
A
That's right. That's right.
- [35:51]
C
But.
- [35:51]
E
And also too, though, we just picked up a group of heifers in the feedlot that. Well, we turned Little man out with all our heifers, every one of them. I mean, he's one that you can breed to anything and sleep easy at night knowing that they're gonna cough and spit them out.
- [36:06]
C
So the other crossbred bull, other heifer bull that's on there is our crossbred bull. His name is Zero to Hero. And anytime that we go steer shopping, me and chase together, I've heard it once, I've heard it a hundred times. He says, oh, hey, man, that's a yellow bdr. He said, brandon said them are the most valuable. And we went to Clay Morrison's one time. It's true. And this calf come out and still intact. And we said, would you price him? He said, well, that's supposed to be my. I'm keeping him a bull. I think he's yellow. I mean, Clay Morrison says the same thing. Pretty much like, he's a yellow. He's a bdr. And I just look at Chase and I'll roll my eyes. I'm like, oh, my gosh. We got another one of these guys thinking, which I ain't got nothing against yellow ones or BDRs. I think they're all great. It's just a coincidence that they both said that. He said, and I really think he'll work on heifers. He's only 60 pounds when he was born, and if anybody knows much about Brandon, he loves breeding his for sure second calf heifers to bdr and he's got enough confidence in the bull. I'd tell you he'd breed his first calf heifers to the bull as well in terms of feeling comfortable using them on heifers. And he. The bull is really, really good. His build's awesome. We contemplate in cutting them because we thought he would have made a really good steer. He came back triple clean, and feet and legs are great. We have taken a little bit of a lazy approach with our heifers. We haven't had a ton of crossbreds, and so we just turn zero to hero out with them, and we need to be better about that. A lot of times they haven't been at our house, though. They've been at other places. And so we just kind of got to make it easy on whoever's housing them for us that year because everybody knows what a pain heifers are. So zero to hero is falling at the wayside. The few that he has gotten to breed, though, have been very high quality. And he's a bdr, and everybody knows how good that bull is. I mean, I'm talking. They've come anywhere between 20 and 60 pounds. I think the littlest one was 25, and that's the yellow one that's pictured. And we ended up selling him for dang near 10,000 in our online sale. Awesome. So they come out little, they grow good, they're built perfect, They've got muscle. Think both of our heifer bulls are an asset to anybody's herd in terms of getting your heifer started and kind of figuring out what you got. And then always quoted a good friend of his. Can't remember who, but he said, yeah, that guy. First year I turned out a Jersey bull or Corriente bull or something like that with my heifers. He said, I did that a couple years, and my buddy called me once he figured out I was doing it. He said, hey, what are you doing? Oh, what are you doing? And he said, I'm breeding my heifers.
- [38:49]
E
I don't have no trouble.
- [38:50]
C
He said, hey, listen, I'm gonna tell you something about a Corriente and a jersey and stuff. There's only two kinds of people that turn out bulls like that. Lazy people and rich people. And you ain't rich. So I get you a bull, breed your cows or your heifers and figure out what you got. And so he said, ever since then, I've gotten a bull that had some quality and some intent in terms of how he was bred. And he's obviously enjoyed and benefited from that because he continues to do it. And so we've always followed suit, and we've benefited from it. Whether it be little heifer calves that we've retained or been able to sell to somebody to add to their herd, as well as many steers that have come out of it. We've had, out of a group of 10 or 15 heifers every year. We've had at least two to three bull calves that we're able to castrate and sell for a steer and get a bonus out of which. I mean, it helps your bottom line when that happens. And so, yes, it made sense.
- [39:50]
D
I bet we've had. I bet we've had close to which. It's a small sample, but I bet we've had close to 30 to 35 between the two bulls on heifers, virgin heifers. And have not had trouble with anyone. Not.
- [40:03]
C
Not one of them.
- [40:03]
E
Awesome.
- [40:04]
C
And Jagger. Jagger did name the yellow bull 0.
- [40:08]
A
Jagger. You could have done better.
- [40:09]
C
We had a better name, but it got vetoed by a committee, probably for good reason.
- [40:15]
A
So next.
- [40:16]
B
The bulls are done.
- [40:17]
A
The bulls are done.
- [40:18]
F
The bulls.
- [40:18]
C
No more bulls. Okay, we got to talk about no more bull, boys. No more.
- [40:24]
A
You got Massey. Is that how you say it? Massey?
- [40:26]
B
Yeah.
- [40:27]
C
Big Pin named her.
- [40:28]
A
Hey, Thick Pin named her. That's even better.
- [40:30]
C
I think somebody named her for us.
- [40:33]
A
All right, so you got up on it. In God We Trust. Nelson, open the gate. One, I want to ask which one is your favorite? And two, what do you think this female offers to the public? And why did y' all decide to let her offer some embryos?
- [40:47]
C
Yep, this is my girl, so I'm gonna take it on her. So we bought a group of ET AI calves, not even AI, I guess, natural service calves from a guy that lives in New Braunfels. His name is Charlie Pfluger. And he bought a bull from Thigpen called the Marshall. Marshall Mathers. Yes. And so that is a General out of this cow. And anyways, we bought this group of calves, did really well selling them. And they're all built really similar, even though they're all out of a totally different cow, each one of them. And I get to thinking, and obviously, the General has his place. He's a BDR son on 14, 19. I like the bull, but I figured there's more to that than that. And so I called Digpen. I said, hey, tell me about the marshal. Get to tell him. I said, what Calziotto? And he told me Massey. And I said, where she at? And he said, I sold her. He said I was hard up for money one year back whenever I was getting started, and I sold her to the McGee family in San Angelo. And so I went to. And we had ended up. We'd already bought two calves out of her and didn't even know it years prior. We just happened to buy some calves from them. And each year we were going to keep one a bull. And while we were up in Lubbock and didn't have very good facilities, he was running with some mature bulls, and they killed him anyways. It's just crazy how much that cow surfaced in our lives before we ever got our hands on her. But I went in June in San Angelo, Texas, the mesquite tree farm of America. And not their place. San Angelo, Texas, is the musketchee tree farm of America. I mean, there was not hardly any grass and there wasn't much hay around. And this cow is in incredible shape. I mean, it was crazy to me how good a shape she was in. No more than there was to eat. Would you price her? Would you price her? They said, yeah, I guess we price her. And so priced her. Called my brothers, we bought her. Then. I said, can you get her in the pen? I said, yeah. So I go sit in the truck. I said, we can't get her in the pen. I said, okay, call me when you do. I'll be back. So go back, get her. Life's good, Got her home. She's always had a little attitude, but she's a stud duck, which Thigpen says that comes with the territory. And honestly, the longer we've had her, the better she acts once she's gotten comfortable in her situation. But that's the story on the cow. And what was crazy, from the second I saw her before I even knew that was her, when I was there at their place, I said, hey, is that her? And pointed at her when we were still a long ways out, they said, yeah, And I could see it from that far away because she was her head and neck carriage and her hip and hind leg and just her rib cage, I mean two generations later on that guy's calves was still there. And her picture is good. I'm glad we have it. But it doesn't necessarily do her total justice either because she's 13 years old. We don't have six stitches of grass on our place and we don't have any money to feed them. So the fact that. And she's got a calf on her side. So I feel like her, if you know her story and what she's lived through, she looks absolutely incredible. And I think the world of the cow in terms of her build when.
- [43:58]
E
She'S 11 or 12 years old, I.
- [44:00]
C
Mean, yeah, she had a 13 model. She's a 13 model. And I bought her in San Angelo. So when I got her home, I numbered her 325. That's her phone area code. Anyways, I remember multiple old timers in my life since I've been growing up talking about what good cows Meyer734 and who made who's and all that were. And I've noticed myself all the heat waves on the bottom side of pedigrees. And so I didn't know any of that whenever we bought the cow after I said, hey Dickpin, what is this cow? That'd be a good time to ask. And I knew she was a stud duck, but I didn't know any of the rest of it. And I just thought, hey, that all them guys knew what they were talking about, obviously, because look at this cow. Anyways, as far as the matings go that we're offering some of them, we've not had any on. So two of them. We have two of them. We had the up on. It's. We've had several on. We kept the very best bull last year. A bull. We calling him right on it. He's a black baldy. That's DS only. You'll probably hear about him next year. We're going to go teaming on him here in the near future. Oh, there you go. Anyways, we saw, we tried to sell. We ended up keeping her and we were happy to keep her. We didn't necessarily try that hard. We thought if we could get a premium before we sell her. But there was a red brindle baldi heifer that there's a picture of somewhere if somebody cares about seeing it. And then we've got a really good red brindle, a calf on the Ground. This year we had four. Last year there was two red brindles, two black brindles. Three of the four were baldies. This year we had a red brindle born and a black baldy born. Anyways, we've not had a bad one out of the flush. Bull looks really, really good. I think he's. The fact that he's th clean I really think is going to come in handy going back on some of these th sisters to all these American steers that are sisters to the pat bull or the God bless America bull or any of them that are in God's out American cattle. You know, they're just th. That's where I think that bull have a place. But I think the bull's awesome. That mating is proven. It works. If you buy it, I promise it will make you money. The next one is in God. We've never had any of those. But the cow has worked to the general. As I said, that made the marshal bull which that would be cleaned by pedigree. And so that's why we did it this way. Are planning on transferring some here in the next month or two to make sure we have some coming this year. We just haven't executed yet since we've had the eggs.
- [46:21]
D
We also just had a couple to. That's right. That look really good.
- [46:26]
C
That's right. We have to have them. So we. We like the bull or we like that mating a bunch. I mean who owns a cow that's not th and doesn't try to in God that's truly trying to raise something. So that's why we did it that way. We're excited to get them in and see what happens. The next mating is Nelson's Thigpen, the.
- [46:47]
A
King daddy of them all.
- [46:50]
C
Yeah. Thigpen has been quoted to say he would take the opportunity to own Nelson over the opportunity to own in God. Which is a pretty bold take. But that should prove to you how much he believes in his bull. And we have only ever had calves out of Nelson and one cow. And Jagger and us are partners on that cow. And I'm not going to tell you that. I can see why Thigpen said that wholeheartedly off of one flush. But I can tell you the three or four bull calves that we have are all ginormous legged, ginormous haired and extremely high quality. I can definitely see why they believe in their bull. And we continue to use them and are excited to get calves that are sibs of this mating on the ground because the cow's Got a red gene and the bull's got a red gene. The cow is notorious for throwing baldies. That's one of the coolest things about that this cow is a lot of these American cows. You go to breeding them and you're going to make black ones or silver ones, which is fine. It doesn't matter. If they're good, they're good. But this cow is notorious for making them colors that would classify as Gertz or Cimbros. And how about the.
- [47:59]
D
That's right. We had the other day.
- [48:01]
C
Yeah, We've had yellow and white ones out of that trout. We've had silver ones out of that trout. We've had Open the gates. We've had five of them now. There ain't been one the same color as we want to chase. Talking about early on. I mean, any color under the sun the cow's capable of generating. I mean, she's had a couple of them I think were six different colors all on one cow. And she's never had a bad. The thing.
- [48:20]
D
And the thing on the Nelson's too thigpen. He said the dumbest thing you could ever do is freeze a Nelson. So you do need to buy these and get them unfrozen and put in.
- [48:29]
C
I know we're rambling on, but we cannot skip this next one. This is the last mating out of her. And I'm telling you, not only do I think it's gonna work, I now can tell you I know it's gonna work. They are here and they're here to stay. And we had a. We had some half bloods born last year. When they were born, I thought, hey, them things are pretty good. But what do we know about raising half bloods? And they're out of Hercules and this cow and Hercules and our O20 cow. And we're about to get on those cows in a minute. But we've got five open the gates this time. I know we've kind of talked about them, but I'm going to discuss them real fast. There's a red brindle heifer. A black brindle heifer. Or black brindle bull. A black heifer. And then the one Chase was talking about was marked like bingo. And he did tell y' all he was good, but I don't think he quite elaborated enough. I love how the calf is built. I haven't seen him in person other than in the headlights when I was leaving town the day. An hour after he stood up. But he sent a video of them that will be on the Internet soon. And the bull is built. The calf is built. Unbelievable. Huge back muscles, huge hip, big rib for baby calf, awesome hind leg, great fronted. I mean, I really don't know what I'd change about him. The calf looks like as good a starting point as you could ever want one. And it don't matter if he was the ugliest silver rat tailed, sorriest colored animal ever, you could ever dream of. It doesn't matter. But the good part is, is he's Brindle, the most beautiful brindle you've ever seen. And he's got a bald face. So basically he's my hero. And when I grow up, I want to be just like that baby calf. Now you can move to the next topic, Weston.
- [50:04]
F
I'll let you grab this one, Weston.
- [50:06]
A
Especially dear to your home. All right. Me, me and Luke have been texting back and forth like, who's going to do this one? I said, hey, you back off. I'm doing this one. This is a captain over 5319. And just let me tell you, there was a Brahmin steer back in 2023, 2024. I don't remember what year was my senior year, but I will just say this. There was a Brahmin steer that was absolutely legendary. And I looked at this cow's picture and I thought the same exact thing. Same color, same pattern, same same profile, same hind leg. I'm talking the cat's meow. I don't care what you breeder to. I know they're going to be absolute studs. I don't know who's going to take it over, but I would hope someone will because this cow, I think Jit.
- [50:52]
C
I think Jake's gonna take it.
- [50:53]
E
Yeah. No, I mean this one whenever we. Bitsy called me. I remember I was sitting in the trailer store in my desk and he's at Rory D's. And I got.
- [51:03]
C
I called him and Chase both twice and no answer.
- [51:06]
E
Yeah, I was with a big important customer. Yeah. And so by the time I got.
- [51:12]
C
A whole plan Solitaire.
- [51:14]
B
Yeah.
- [51:15]
E
By the time I got a hold of he said. He said I was like, hey, do you need me?
- [51:21]
C
And he was like, well, yeah, I.
- [51:23]
E
Called you two or three times, no answer. And I was like, I'm sorry, you know, whatever. And he was like. I was like, well, what'd you. What'd you find? Because I knew he's out shopping and is I. I found some heifers. And I was like, great, you know, we're shopping for steers at this time.
- [51:37]
C
Of year and they identify as steer.
- [51:42]
E
And he told me the price of three head and I about choked, had a heart attack and fell.
- [51:47]
C
He said only buy two of them.
- [51:49]
B
Yeah.
- [51:50]
E
And so anyways, long story short, he gets them bop and they're in the pins. And granted, like I say, it's not heifer's shopping time of the year. It's all to your shopping time of the year. Everybody that comes over is, they don't like, oh well what'd you like? And they oh, what about this heifer? What about this? After they can't stop ranting raving over blondie or who we call Blondie, but I mean she's extremely big back, extremely good looking, center body's awesome. She's pulled apart.
- [52:19]
C
She's also sister to Chance Clemstein's champion at Houston. Yes.
- [52:27]
A
And also a sister to Jesus.
- [52:31]
C
Yeah, she's a sister to some, some kids grammar that he showed in San Antonio. Some random kids, little brahminster, y' all.
- [52:40]
A
Are hurting me right now.
- [52:42]
C
We bought her the April. You're correct for the April after we were champion in Houston with chances camp. So I, we were championing Houston and I won a few weeks later and was just dumbfounded in itself that he would even price her. Yeah.
- [52:56]
E
And to be honest, I know it's probably more business than we probably need to be telling or that anybody cares to know, but we, we were stepping out of bounds a little bit by spending what we were spending to get the heifer. But no, and the reason I say that is because of how special she was or how her quality.
- [53:14]
D
Well, and in classic Rory D. Fashion. Kate could clarify. But the cade said Rory D. I, I don't. There was one that was, you could classify as a dink that was a sister. It was a pot bellied, skinny goat looking thing. He's priced for fun and he's like rudy, I don't want that one.
- [53:35]
C
What, what's the price for them too?
- [53:37]
D
And he goes, same price, same price. He said, he said, boy, if it was me, I'd pick three.
- [53:44]
C
That's right. What I said in my witty self. I said, hey, whoa, I don't know if I can afford them three. What if I just buy them two? He said, it don't matter the same price. I said, what if I leave them two and take that one? I think I can afford her. She's zero. And he said, no, don't work like that.
- [54:02]
A
That's negotiating right there.
- [54:04]
C
I felt like out fox the original Foxer.
- [54:07]
A
And.
- [54:10]
D
He said, price is good to midnight.
- [54:11]
C
Yeah.
- [54:12]
A
Just until that final bid comes on.
- [54:15]
C
No, he didn't say till midnight. He said, I wouldn't leave them gates because once you do deals off the table.
- [54:20]
D
He said, I might be in a different mood.
- [54:22]
C
He said, it's hard for me to keep all that straight.
- [54:26]
E
That heifer, I mean, or that female is. I mean, I don't care what flavor of cattle you like to own or breed or be involved in. But that one is one that, whether you're smart or not smart in the cattle industry. Will make you look way smarter than you are.
- [54:39]
D
Yeah.
- [54:40]
E
And we.
- [54:41]
D
We've got.
- [54:43]
C
The reason that we had. Typically, people are going to offer a package of four. One mating, obviously. And when we were discussing what we're going to offer, we wanted to offer something on her. And being that she's as young as she is, because she's. She's never had a cat. Yeah. She's just now about to turn two here next month. And anyway, so we. All of the embryos that we have made have been with virgin flushing. And anyways, we don't have enough of one mating to offer that. We've got some sets of two or three or whatever. And the one set of four, we're going to want to put a couple of them in. And so anyways, the best way for us to tackle that. And be able to offer y' all a taste that this cow, this early in her life, Heifer, I guess not cow. Was to offer these three matings. All the bulls are similar. And there's two 1203 sons. There's two in God we Trust sons. And so those are gray fox, which is a solid gold 1203. God bless America, which is an N. God 1203. And then Pat, which is the end God. Out of Clemstein, Parker and Geiger's Brangiskowicz F13. So we just figured we'd offer them three matings. We have a second one of all of those matings. And so once you buy it, you can tell us if you would prefer a path or a gray fox or whatever. And that'll get you two of one mating. Which will hopefully get you a pregnancy. And then two others, It'll kind of be like bingo. You just put them in and see what ball gets drawn.
- [56:13]
E
Yeah.
- [56:14]
C
But I can assure you on a cow like that, it don't matter.
- [56:18]
E
It doesn't matter the price or the mate.
- [56:20]
C
That will be good.
- [56:22]
F
Now, next I got Yalls Maggie donor, which is pretty similar genetics with the59.5319 on the bottom side. But now out of a different purebred bull. If y' all want to give a quick run through those. Who's all all for a couple different matings.
- [56:33]
D
She's all right.
- [56:35]
C
She's all right.
- [56:37]
A
She's all right.
- [56:38]
D
Yeah.
- [56:39]
A
Ain't better than blondie.
- [56:40]
E
Man of many words.
- [56:42]
C
Yeah.
- [56:43]
D
Or 020. Jake numbered this cow 02, not 0319. No, we. We bought this car. Or she.
- [56:57]
C
She was lot seven. I was thinking zero seven. I mean seven changed it. We landed on a very lucky number. 20.
- [57:04]
B
Yeah.
- [57:07]
D
Anyway, he thought he was Monty Ginobly.
- [57:10]
C
Okay.
- [57:10]
D
So serious.
- [57:12]
C
Serious.
- [57:12]
D
Okay. So we were.
- [57:14]
C
Man.
- [57:14]
D
I. I mean, I. It's really, really hard to formulate the words to even tell you how just unbelievably fortunate and blessed we are to ever even own this cow or to think it was a possibility. And really. And I mean in everybody's defense, that didn't buy the cow and we bought the cow. And Colton's the climb dispersal as a heifer. As a virgin heifer. But in everybody's defense, I mean you've gotta. You've gotta have stuff out of them to know if they generate. I mean you can think they're good and try to make them good, but you really don't know until they get to going. But last year was her first half crop. There was 16 bulls. When the dust settled, we sold 13 of the bulls and they grossed well. Well over six figures. Just those first group of bulls. And there was a couple heifers in there.
- [58:03]
E
I mean that.
- [58:04]
D
That cow has. We had in gods out of her. We had Bitsy mentioned the Hercules that were half bloods. We sold a group of half bloods late. We had some. Gosh, I'm trying to remember now what.
- [58:14]
E
All we had in gods. Captains.
- [58:16]
D
Yeah. No, not captains.
- [58:20]
C
We've had triggers. That's right. Riptide 11, 7:50. Hercules being the Braemer Hercules, not the Brangus Hercules, which was a captain. That's where Jake was getting that from. There's another in God's. Is the fifth one. I think there was five matings. And I don't know what we averaged, but I'd say it was well over 15,000 ahead on the bulls. We sold a half of a heifer for I think about 15,000. 16, 17,000. I don't remember. And then a. All of another heifer for another 15,000. The cow.
- [58:55]
D
I guess. I guess what I was. Yeah. I mean we. The first flush was all we could have asked for and more.
- [59:01]
C
I mean we multiple times throughout us getting started that I've wondered, man, I don't know if God wants this to work. Maybe he wants me to go flip hamburgers at McDonald's and have a good attitude and do whatever else he wants me to do. I've sincerely wondered that. As does everybody. No matter what business you're starting, I assume. And when her calves started being born, before we ever even started financially reaping the rewards, just seeing them, I thought, hey, maybe. I mean I'm serious. It's been incredible to watch and witness and see. And it's hard when you have loyal customers more than you have more customers than you have calves out of that cow because they know they can come to your house and see, hey, how come so and so gets that cat? And I mean so that's why a lot of them ended up in sales or however. And that's the only fair way to do it. But I'm just saying when we saw those calves, man, it. It really for me at least made me think, hey, maybe he does want us doing this. Maybe we need to stay hooked up and keep at it. And anyways, I mean any of the three mating. Any of the three matings I would say a man ought to be buying if they're something that you're interested in making. A couple of them are proven I know for sure.
- [60:20]
D
And blondie are these carriers. And you can tell it just I mean in their back leg and all that. And I'm sure that's according to big fan. That's why we love them so much.
- [60:31]
C
The the. We've never had any Nelson's. We've never had any pats. We have two hope for golds that are incredible. Heifer and a bull the in gods or the most popular ones out of her last year. Their character is good. Their head and ears are great. Their navel's good enough but it's marginal. And so that's why we went ahead and did her to pat was to go ahead and make it a slam dunk. Shouldn't have no problems now classifying. But the in gods are also still American cattle. I mean there I think there's one. We had four bulls and one of them probably won't classify the other three. All are going to make American steers. I feel pretty confident in telling you.
- [61:15]
A
Yes.
- [61:16]
E
And big pin that are. I mean I asked him to correct me if I'm wrong but in the climb sale he said there's three cows that not that he regretted selling or whatever you want to say, but that he, you know, they would talk about. And that was 5319B10 and O20. And we were like Bitsy and Chase hit on. We're lucky enough to get 020. And she is done everything but prove herself to be that special to us. And as long as we're able to offer embryos. If you're serious about raising cattle, I think you need to take advantage of the opportunity.
- [61:57]
C
Yeah, there's.
- [61:57]
D
I do want to. Like, there's nothing that I. It's a pet peeve, I guess you'd say, or whatever. I mean, I get when guys have genetic sales or operations and, you know, they've got like a particular cow or this or the other that's. You'd say maybe their best or whatever, maybe not their best, but that you want a chance to own like. And they don't offer them. It's just, man, it's kind of irritating. But that's why we wanted to offer these, because we feel like her first group of calves just spoke volumes of what the cow can do generating wise. And if you know about O20, you gotta know about 53:19. And just everything that that cow's accomplished for so many people. Horn Thigpen, Rory D. I mean, we're seeing the benefits of her still with these granddaughters. So we want y' all to be able to have an opportunity to own some of O20 and her offspring. So, Jagger, I don't know if you want to say anything about her, but.
- [62:56]
E
I know you love that often.
- [62:58]
B
Yeah. I'm gonna be honest with you. When the boys called me the night they bought that cow, I had the same reaction as most people probably would. I said, super Dave, crazy. I mean, she is an open heifer. We will not see. Y' all will not see any profit in the foreseeable future. And to be honest with you guys, I don't like admitting this very often. I was as far wrong as wrong can get. Because this cow is one of the most incredible females I believe I've ever laid my eyes on. No matter the breed, no matter what you want to define her as the color, the breed, any of it. She is as good of a cow as I've possibly seen her look. Her shape, her structure, her maternal build. But still having muscle.
- [63:48]
C
She puts in the perfect, utter, perfect, utter.
- [63:52]
D
Hey, that's the best thing about her.
- [63:54]
E
Yeah, she milks like a Jersey.
- [63:55]
B
I just.
- [63:56]
A
Jersey.
- [63:57]
B
I just want y' all to realize what an opportunity these. These Walter Brothers are giving their customers in this scenario, they're offering the very best stuff that they've got to offer. And a lot of people would call it foolish. I like to call it being unselfish.
- [64:15]
F
That's right.
- [64:16]
C
Milk like a Jersey, built like a Cadillac and hauls like a Peterbilt.
- [64:22]
A
That's right. That's right. Okay, lot 45 through. What is it? Lot.
- [64:29]
C
This is my girl right here.
- [64:32]
A
Listen, listen. This is. This is what I poured all my damn money into in that Jet Hill deal, which I was proud to do.
- [64:44]
C
Listen to me.
- [64:46]
A
I loved helping that boy out. But these Pat 81s, I have full belief that they're gonna make me money one day. And I hope when I transfer.
- [64:54]
C
Martin Luther King. Martin Luther King had a dream. But you don't have to have a dream. We've got proof, because. Hey, there's proof.
- [65:01]
B
Okay.
- [65:02]
A
Yes. Yes, there's proof.
- [65:04]
C
Okay, so. But on all seriousness, this cow is an American business, which is a BDR 1203. And she was actually the very first animal that we bought as a effort to gather cows and start raising some. And so she'll always hold a special place in our heart for that. And it was cool. I guess for us it was kind of a full circle moment that the very first one we ever bought happens to be the first quote, unquote, major show winner that we ever raised in terms of being at a big show with Kendall Long's calf, both at Cattleman's Congress, he was in the top five, which is, I feel like, extremely unique. It's happened in Texas here a bunch, especially here of late, and some of them have been as far as winning the show, and we obviously didn't do that, but we were able to be in the top five in an out of state show where American cattle don't hardly have a place. And so I feel like that speaks volumes about the calf's quality. And not only that, but I think he is extremely. That calf was very unique. And he ended up being reserve breed champion to Brandon and Jaggers and Cromwell's and Caps. Golden Boy.
- [66:22]
B
Yep.
- [66:24]
C
On the turf last year at San Antonio. And anyways, the Longs had that calf. His name was Luigi. He was a hope for gold out of Linda. He was really, really good. They did a extremely good job taking care of him, per usual. And we do appreciate everything they did for that calf as well as this cow. Prior to Luigi being born, she had a cool story. We had bred her to. Oh, Jake might have to chime in here. But we had Bred her to several bulls and she'd always had a really nice one. She's never had a throwaway. We never could quite get her to work like we wanted her to. Our kind of last throw at her. We were just about, once again, just talking about having faith in what you do. We were just about ready to throw in the towel on her. And I told Jake, I said, can we please breed an O for gold? I'd asked him for two years. He said, I don't think their hind legs will be good enough. I said, well, what we've done ain't worked. And we bredded the best hind legs ever. So. And anyways, I talked him into it. We bred her. That was Luigi. The best thing she had had prior to that was we had flushed her to some brangus bulls per Jeff Parker's instruction. And she'd had several good ones. But they've all been heifers. And there's some pictures of those in there.
- [67:40]
B
They're all.
- [67:40]
C
The oldest ones are 25. Anyways. Probably. If you told me I had to pick three heifers or three cows, period, on our place, one of them would be that one. And there'd be full sibs to one of the matings we're offering out of a Wall street son. That's a purebred brangus and her numbers 281. And her flush mate sister is 2281. And we had a 381 the next year that we virgin flushed already and have some calves out of the ground that are great. But anyways, she is not only provided our first win at a major show, she's also provided. I mean, when I. I think there's four or five out of purebred brangus bulls that are. They may never generate nothing. But I sincerely, in the bottom of my heart, believe in them as much as I do any animal in our place. I mean 31, I, I. 281 and 381 are near and dear to my heart. And I really can't explain how good I think they're built. I mean, just wild neck, huge rib, big muscle, perfect feet and legs. We're going to flush them as often as we can afford to. And as often as they'll generate eggs. And they all generate, Linda included, generate eggs like no other. There's an opportunity to flush her down the way at the bottom of the cell. Jake, Chase. What do y' all have, dad? Anything?
- [68:58]
D
Yeah, I mean, on the, on the, on the, on the pats, we've got two we got three of those on the ground. Two bulls and a heifer. One's black, one's white, one's silver. They look great.
- [69:09]
F
Really.
- [69:10]
D
They're stout.
- [69:11]
C
The one he fell in black is really chocolate brown. Same color as Luigi.
- [69:15]
D
Yeah, Chocolate Thunder. Oh, yeah, that's what horn would say.
- [69:18]
C
But though.
- [69:19]
D
So those are one. I mean, they're at 53 19s. I mean, that's kind of a. We were able to be a part of a calf last year that ended up being champion gird at Houston. I still don't know how we got our hands on him, but Bitsy. Thank God for Bitsy. We got him.
- [69:32]
C
Oh, timeout. Was that the same trip as buying Blondie?
- [69:36]
D
Yeah, it was, actually. So anyway, we were able to be a part of that calf that was champion gird at Houston this year. So these, that calf is a brother to Red 5319. And so those, we've got two coming. They're due. They're past due. They might be born right now, I don't know, but we'll know in the morning. And then, yeah, those ones out of the Wall street, son. I mean, there's been one of those has shown at Dallas that was second, I believe. And then one of our favorite ones.
- [70:01]
C
We sold in our online sale this year to the Jasek family, Presley Jessic. We always try to make sure she's got some good ones from us if they're willing to give us the chance to help her get them. And anyways, his name's Flash and I think he is a bad mofo. We don't know if he's going to go to San Antonio Houston yet, but man, I think he's got quality.
- [70:21]
D
So he'd be a sib to that Lot 47, the Wall street sign out of Linda.
- [70:26]
C
So in all three, I've seen red 5319 cattle born at our house, Jeff Parker's house, Brandon Horne's house, and Kendall Long's house. And just off of what those have appeared like, everybody on here has probably seen some as well. I think they've all been super stout and they need to be bred to a sound, good looking, no problem cow. And that's exactly what she is. She's got a red gene. You don't know if it's a perfect mating till they come. And still you don't, I guess, ever know. But it's one of those matings that before it gets here, you can't help but think it's going to be everything and more that you Ever wanted it to be.
- [71:02]
B
Yep, yep.
- [71:03]
F
So next year I got two lots of the 77 donor.
- [71:06]
C
Brett Red River, 77 is a half blood Bramer as well. We bought her from and many steers from the Welper family. She is out of a crossbred cow that was about as wide as she was tall, which is a lot how 5319 is built. And several of the good exotic cows that I feel like work to Brammer bulls. And she is extremely, extremely unique in terms of her build. We've had good luck with some Dakota Gold on the cow side of the pedigree with some ingot exotics that we've bought from Wade Shackelford. One of them, the Wampler family is campaigning this year that we are excited about. Anyways, they are very, very good. I think in terms of having them on the maternal side. He puts unique club calf type pieces on them that are hard to build in terms of trying to make hard to build livestock. And anyways, that cow is really, really good. We had one out of this world. It was our natural calf last year that really it broke our heart to sell. She was almost Hereford marked in terms of her color and look like a cimbrough in terms of her character. Like I think you can breed her back to an exotic still and have that little American and they'll be fine. And that was this world out of her. We've had some red rivers. I think we had a high seller that brought 10 or maybe 12 even out of her year before last. And he made the sale at Houston and the Gertz. We've had red ones, yellow ones, dark, dark orange ones. We've had several kind of Santa Gratrutis colored, which is an American breed that I feel like there's opportunity for if you can consistently raise them that color. And it's another mating that we feel really confident about. And honestly the main reason we're offering it is she makes so many. I mean we flushed her conventionally and I think she made over 30 embryos. And anyways, we've had those three or four last time that we transferred fresh. And we're planning on transferring some more here coming up to make them. Probably September's or so is about the age I would anticipate they'd be the most successful at. And they'll work for San Antonio or Houston at that age. Like I said, you can expect any color. But the cows generated one of our very best. Our numbers 277 is out of that cow as well. So Thank. I think it's amazing. You want to try to stack up if you can.
- [73:27]
A
Yes, sir. So then lot 50 is WB and the sire is Iron man, which I don't know if many people have heard of Iron man, but of the calves I've seen out of that bull, they were legit. And so what do y' all think of that mating and why did y' all offer it?

C
Yeah. No. So 78 is a cow that we went on the very first trip, one of the very first trips Rory D. Was buying cows in, if not the very first down in South Texas. We went with a 32 foot trailer. And he said, we ain't going home till this thing's full. We said, okay. And anyways, we were driving around and we went by Ms. Grothews, Jolene Groth used. And man, he had a chocolate brown cow. It was just a probably 3, 8 type of an American cow that had some of the biggest feet and legs, big square hip, incredible looking. And Jake and I are infatuated. Already said, have y' all seen anything y' all think I need, you just tell me. We're getting us some cows today. He said, we find something to partner on, we'll do whatever, whatever. So. And anyways, I love the love, love, love the cow. And this heifer 78 was actually on our side at the time. Avon only ever showed one Kramer calf that I have bled Brammer calf in her life, and his name was Moto. Moto is out of the same bull. And anyways, we proceeded on and got the pair bought along with several others. And we were like, hey, can we partner on this cow? He said, hey, listen, I'm gonna buy the cow. If y' all want her calf, when we wean it, y' all can have her calf. He said, and here's the deal. You don't really need to buy the cow, because if y' all want to come flush her, you can flush whenever you want. And so that was our agreement. I was happy. We love the cow, loved how she was built, and we. We ended up with her, and we've had her. Rudy ended up the cow. We lost the cow and the calf that was in her belly. The mother 78. Rory lost her calving the initial time, so we never got to flush her. 78. The only thing we got to show for it, we had some 11 750s out of her, which would be out of 11, 750s out of the same cow as Ironman. So it's somewhat proven. And we had a second at Dallas, we had a reserve breed champion at Austin and a heifer that brought 12,000 per half. And anyways, this cow is gonna work. She's just. She's basically like a three quarter bud Brahmin, I guess by pedigree maybe a little less. And I think she's gonna work. She generates better than she looks and she doesn't look bad at all. She's just a nice, solid, good Brahmin cow. The character is awesome sound, no holes. And she's got a little bit more than a half blood in terms of. I think you're going to consistently have less trouble breeding them back to crossbred bulls. And anyways, it's a really good mating. I wouldn't. Wouldn't back up none. It's hard to get semen. Nearly impossible. Brandon was nice to let us have some, buy some, and we capitalized and we're excited. She made, I think 11 or 12. We figured we'd sell a handful and we're going to transfer the rest. Yeah, we.
- [76:31]
D
I really. Every year that's passed, I think we made these embryos a couple of years ago, maybe three years ago.
- [76:36]
E
Really?
- [76:36]
C
No, we made last year.
- [76:38]
D
Did we? Well, I really don't know how we got. I really don't know how we got through the breeding season last year. Not transferring them, but we did. She just had a trigger.
- [76:46]
E
Had you only had 450 opportunities?
- [76:49]
D
Yeah, she. She had a trigger.
- [76:51]
C
Nice to join you. Yeah, yeah, she had a trigger this year.
- [76:55]
D
That looks as good as it gets, really. And Ironman is a yellow. Was a yellow and white paint. And this cow's triple clean. He's a th carrier, so I would think the color would be tremendous.
- [77:07]
F
Now next, y' all got 51 and 52, which 51's a 916 over 99, which is one of yalls donors, and then 52 is a daughter out of her.
- [77:16]
D
If you want to go over those real quick, Jake.
- [77:18]
E
Yeah, that cow's.
- [77:20]
D
Whenever you kind of do those together, probably.
- [77:22]
C
Yeah. Yeah.
- [77:22]
E
No. Well, yeah, we'll do them together. That's the Wall street cow that the. Whenever dugay dispersed a lot of cows, we bought the Wall street female from them and flushed her ranch water. We, the first lot 51, we sold 51 and 52, those two heifers that are pictured as choice lots. And guy from east Texas, Mitchell ralston, bought lot 51 heifer and they done a bunch of. A bunch of winning with her. They rant, raved about the female herself. She just had her first calf Milks like a Jersey. Very productive kind of genetics. I don't know that you can really fault them in any one area. I think they're good, good cattle to own and good real estate kind of thing.
- [78:12]
C
And the next one is out of the one that he didn't pick. And we just got her picked up from the feed yard. His better look pretty good or I'm gonna have to accuse him of picking the wrong one because ours looks incredible. And we virgin flushed her to Pat and we've got maybe two coming here later. Those are two of the ones left to calve.
- [78:31]
D
And she made us 26.
- [78:33]
C
We're excited to see them. And then I'd say they'll for sure have a red jean. Being out of a Hereford bull Pat's got a red jean, Baldies, tiger stripes, reds, yellows, maybe pink with polka dots. I'd say you get anything. And I said it in my comment for Jet's benefit and I meant it and I'll say it again. If you have a mayor, if you have any desire to raise American cattle and you've not bought semen and bred to our boys over at Clemstein and Parker's. Bull Pat, the simplest way I can tell you is that you are way, way behind. And it was a no brainer when this one come back as clean because she was hairy to breed her to that bull. And I think you'll get every color, good haired, great livestock. The last, last American embryos that we have to offer here. Jagger could touch on a little as well. I'm gonna roll into them. It's out of a newly acquired cow904. She is a solid gold 620. I know we're getting a little lengthy here, but we bought the cow from Brandon recently. A long time ago back Holly senior year. I worked at Brandon's the year prior and um, he kind of went from his barn to their barn type of thing. Anyway, she had several calves on feed from him. Well, I picked out this red solid gold 620 steer that was a little bit crazy. And we, I said hey, Holly's got to have that one. He said ah, we'll see. I said that one's coming with me. That's my boy. Because he always acted pretty good for me, but he give trouble at the barn for some guys. I said we get along good. It makes good sense. We're taking it anyways. So hold on back on this kept. I saw him, Brandon. I was like, hey man, I really love that calf. He's like whatever man. I mean, I've been infatuated by this cat from the first time I laid eyes on him. And Holly and them come and they're looking around like, what are you thinking? I'm like, hey, that red one right there, y' all need to go tell Brandon that y' all want him. And somehow or another we finagled him out of it and took him home. Everything was good, looked awesome. I put a picture of him up in the barn. It's about the only footage we got of him. And anyways, we, man, he looked awesome. We had him home rocking and rolling. Showed him one time in Kerrville, Texas. He won the red crosses, didn't have enough hair to be in the top five, but whatever. And we, we got it done. Life was good, got home, had nothing but trouble for the next two days. I don't know what happened if it was. He was a little, like I said, he had some attitude. We had to give him some focus. This, that and the other. I don't know what happened, but run through Bob, hotwire fences, all sorts of stuff. He lost his mind, to be honest. And I sincerely don't know what happened. It all, literally, it was the craziest feel in my life. It all slipped through my fingers right there. I've tried to always be a guy that made sure bad stuff didn't happen. And within a 48 hour period, we went from winning our breed thinking we were on track. Next thing we know, the calf breaks, his neck dies, he's done. Roll on. I texted Brandon. I mean, I was heartbroken, cried like a baby. And I'll never forget his response. He said, hey, Bush, it's simple. You acting like the all American died. And he might have, but you just got to act like it was the seventh grade JVC team and it's not so hard to take. And it's my favorite calf in the barn at the time, which obviously we ended up being reserve Grant at Fort Worth with the Hereford the same year. So it wasn't like we didn't have nothing left. But I was still totally bummed out and he knew that and we got through it, whatever. But two or three years later, I'm at his place, driving around, he's like, oh, hey man, I forgot you're not going to believe what this cow is. And it's this red cow walking across and instantly I'm like, that looks just like Pontiac. That was his name. He said, yeah, she's a solid gold 620, you know, I mean, you go look at his Cows. And he just casually acts like, I mean it's like he's got any guy we trust in there, you know? And he's like, yeah, I mean that's in guy we trust. What's the big deal? And to a guy like us, it's like, oh my gosh. And that was the same type of moment for me. Not that she's in guy we trust, but I mean the cow's absolutely incredible. And I'm like, dude, you've had a red solid gold 620squashmate Sister, same age I'm pretty sure is this deer this whole time and you've not even told me about her. He was like, yeah, because that means you're going to want her. I said, yeah, I do want her and I'm taking her. I said, I'm going to need you to start figuring out what she's going to cost. And anyways, we've gone back and forth for two years over it and all in good fun of course. And finally last year Chase called me. He says, hey, I'm leaving Brandon's with the trailer. You need anything? I said, yeah, tell Brandon you need to pick up my red cow. I don't even know what made me think about it that day. And because it's all just been back and forth bickering for two or three years since I found out about this cow. Which is why I didn't tell me about her the whole time. And son, I know Chase talked him into letting us take her and he priced her and we about fell over. Jake was proud of us once we got her bought. He said yes, no, we for sure needed to spend that money and got her bought, got her home. First thing we did was take her and flush her. And first bull we did it to was this mating. And Jagger can tell you about what Solid Gold 620 has done. Briefly, pretty much it's when every six year major show in the state of Texas, some of them twice on Sunday.
- [83:26]
F
That's right.
- [83:26]
B
I'll just like bit. She said, I'll talk briefly about 20 cow and what she means to our operation. We've got in our house, we've got pictures of cattle that me and Avon have shown over the years. And, and that's really about all the decor we have. And the centerpiece of all of that is a painting of that 620cow. And truthfully, I believe my father would attest to this. She is what made us who we are today in terms of our operation. She's kind of what put Us on the map in terms of our female side of things. We'd had solid gold bull and we, we'd sold and, and had a few winners prior to this. I mean this cow, she was something of, of, of a different magnitude for us in terms of the female front real fast.
- [84:21]
C
Just cause you just said that. Brandon, I remember told a guy one time, he said, yeah, I had my pins at my barn designed to be hot wire. He said, and I saw my first group of ET Cavs that were all, I'm pretty sure, solid gold 620s. But I know for sure a lot of them were 620s. And he said as soon as I laid my eyes on them, I called my hotwire man and said, hey, we're going to scratch all that. We're building them in pipe. They're going to be paid for, no problem.
- [84:43]
B
And so all of that being said, the cow means a whole, whole lot to us. She'd be the mother of the grand steer at San Antonio in 2015. The mother of the grand champion Stewart Fort Worth in 2019. Numerous breed champions, the most reserves. We have multiple, multiple daughters that are still in our herd. Multiple high selling daughters that have sold in our sales. Multiple bulls, I mean you name it, we've had them out of her. And she's just, she's a major point in our operation. And for, for that to be an opportunity to be had in this sale. And the uniqueness in terms of this cow being the color red is absolutely incredible. And then on top of that bread to the unique way that only the Waldorf Bros. Would think about, of doing her to a half blood Brammer bull is I believe, a unique opportunity be on the forefront of something really, really, really special. I know this because me and Bitsy have been on the phone multiple times this week, as anybody that knows us could say. Is hard to imagine for us two to be on the phone at any point in time. But we have talked about, he's told me six or seven times just this week how much he believes in this genetic and how much he believes in this bull working to this cow and that he's half tempted not offer them. But he told himself he was going to offer the very, very best stuff he had. And she made to believe that next year he's going to have a bunch of them.
- [86:20]
C
Chase could correct me, but I think she made 15. And if we're selling these four, the other 11 will be going in all of them. Not nine, not 10. 11.
- [86:31]
D
Yeah, she made 14 and then we flushed her. We Also did her to back to good. And we're fortunate enough to have some fresh transfers lined up and she made 10 of those. We transferred all those and we froze these. Open the gates. As soon as we got her from Brandon.
- [86:44]
C
French fry, chicken fry. 904 is going in anyway.
- [86:48]
D
So we've we transferred all the back to goods and we are about on the half blood season transfer and coming on upon us.
- [86:55]
B
I just know that this female, I know she's a recent purchase but she means a lot to all three boys and especially Bitsy because of Pontiac. And as you read in the footnotes and in the comments that Bitsy was so delightful to write.
- [87:12]
C
There will be more still.
- [87:14]
B
There will be more. But he made sure this one had comments up and posted. The ear tag of that calf is still hanging in his Volkswagen Jetta today. The calf meant a lot to him. And this is just a twin sister that we, we all believe in and that she can do great, great things and have an opportunity to have some of those embryos is a unique situation to be in.
- [87:38]
F
That's sweet.
- [87:39]
B
What do you think about getting to some Herefords?
- [87:41]
C
Yeah, now I love some Herefords. Come on up a little bit.
- [87:45]
A
Switch it up.
- [87:46]
F
Started off with jealous Parker14 donor. Got a couple.
- [87:52]
B
Yeah.
- [87:53]
D
I'm going to take this one because Betsy will do the next one.
- [87:55]
C
Yes. All right.
- [87:57]
D
This one here is. Man, this cow is awesome. Talk about kind of getting in late in life on some of these females. The like the 325 cow and that 603 the mother to this world. This was one that we bought from Jeff Parker a couple years ago. Now she was. She's a 2011 model. So that makes her however old. 14. Now 14 is 14 but this cow is a full sister to Outer Limits which is an old Hereford bull that has had a lot of success just in terms of generating females that work really, really well. And so we've got one, two. We've got three different lots on three different bulls. Some won't back downs out of her, some single shots and some Arizona's which Arizona's kind of gaining quite a bit of ground.
- [88:47]
A
Arizona is new and up and coming.
- [88:49]
D
Yeah, he's kind of gaining quite a bit of steam.
- [88:52]
E
There's.
- [88:52]
D
I think maybe this is just being born right now. Maybe a second calf crop. But I know Bradley talking to Bradley every week. He's had several born that he's really, really liking and how they're doing and we've had some too. They look good. So those could Be the best the won't back downs. So talking back about those ride ons, if you go back to the semen lots and look at those pictures. Several of those were right on. He won't back down. The sire to Lot 54 to those embryos. He. He is a ride on 003. So the only. Only ride on 003 to ever be kept a bull. To my knowledge that was the bull that we had the same time in this world.
- [89:29]
C
But anyway, there's no, no semen on him. But there is eggs.
- [89:32]
D
Yeah, we. We've not sold any semen. Ever sold any semen on him. This is awesome. We own that bull with Cody Hughes and Willis Hughes and Roscoe. I really don't know that there's ever been any embryos offered on him. They may have offered some, I can't remember. But one of the only times we've offered embryos or an opportunity to get in. I won't back down.
- [89:52]
C
Lot 54 and the single shots. How 14 generates them. I could see the single shots which is a bull out of the 925 cow sister to ride on it just right. I could see working as good as any of them. That 14 cows worked really well to ride on. And that's why we did her to won't back down. That's a ride on sun. And we also did her to single shot because that's a. Those are all clean by pedigree. But doing her a single shot we made some the th deal come into play which will increase hair and bone and all that. And so I feel like that's a good, good.
- [90:26]
B
Yeah.
- [90:26]
D
When we bought this cow from Jeff Parker, we also bought a. A collijah out of her. I believe what I'm trying to say is this, this cow is a like really, really, really good generator. I mean she's just an old, old school perfect.
- [90:44]
C
We've got eight cows from Jeff. Seven of them were either daughters or granddaughters to.
- [90:49]
D
To this cow. And we got the original cow. I'm just telling you like the old school Hereford cows that create unbelievable female. Like you go back and study pedigrees and if you're a student of the game or like we are or we think we are. I'm just telling you Outer limits. And some of this stuff shows up a lot. And I'm just. I'm telling you this cow is a generating machine. And I. I mean the Arizona's could be unbelievable. I mean they could be really, really good. I'm excited to see what those look like, but we feel super fortunate to have a cow that dates back to the genetics from that time period because that's when all the good stuff was being made. And honestly, there's not a lot left that are, that you can get your hands on that are related to some of the stuff that kind of the Hereford ogs started when we were probably in diapers.
- [91:34]
E
So. Yeah, we're putting those in ourselves.
- [91:37]
C
Yep.
- [91:37]
D
Yeah, we're putting these in as fast as we can.
- [91:39]
E
Yeah.
- [91:41]
C
Next up is Ladybug. Oh, Ladybug. She is another one that's close to my heart. We. She's a purebred story. Yeah, she's a purebred that the Jensen family raised in Kansas. We have helped them off and on and they. We've never gone up there with the intent to buy anything and this was no different.
- [92:04]
E
Gosh.
- [92:06]
C
Anyways, she has always been one that I was gravitated towards. From the first time I clipped her. I thought, hey, that one's, that one's different. But it honestly didn't hit me like, hey, we're going to buy her. She just, she just hit me as different. And it's about a three or four day deal. When you come to that sale to clip them, you run over them a couple times and kind of get to know them and get to study them. Wet, dry, everything in between. It just. The love affair grew and grew and grew between her and I. And by the fourth day they had me hook, line and sinker and I just was new. I mean, some of them things can bring 80,000 or more. And I thought, there's no way. I mean, I won't even get my hand out of my pocket for what them other ones have brought. There's no way she brings less than maybe a million. I don't know what, when they're gonna stop bidding. Anyways, I called my brother and I said, hey, just in the event that we're even within rock throwing distance of this heifer, which means about 2500, I thought maybe we could just be ready just in case she was affordable and within our budget. So we all talked about it and we're in no position to buy Heifer Dr. And finally decided, okay, hey, this is our budget. Set the budget, don't lose her over a couple thousand, but try to get her bought. Okay? Okay, sounds good. So we set the budget, go to the sale and it's sitting on us for a while. And I think we got her bought type of deal. But that auctioneer, he tries to get every penny he can for him. And he rattles on and on and on. Finally, somebody comes in and bam. Hits her. And it hauls but about 10,000 or so, 15,000 past our budget.
- [93:41]
E
So we buy her.
- [93:42]
C
Chase and Jake Chase in our group, text and say, dang, wish we could have got her. I know you really liked her. And I text back. I said, well, boys, you're in luck, because we did. And they said, what are you talking about? I said, I got a plan, don't worry. And so I called our good buddy Jeff Parker and said, hey, Parker, I bought us a heifer. We're partners. And he said, okay. Is she good? I said, yeah, she's real good. He said, what is she? I said, Hereford. He said, okay, where's she from? I said, she's a purebred. He said, you bought me a purebred Hereford? I said, yeah, yeah, but she's going to be great. Don't worry. I said, we're going to raise club calves, purebreds, everything. Nah. Had no intention of showing her. And we ended up. This was the sales on Thursday, like two days from right now. Tomorrow. Yeah, two days from right now. The anyways, he, you got to have heifers validated by November 1st. And had no intention of showing her. And we were still at the Harlan's at the time. And so I got home, whatever, and I got thinking, I'm like, heck, she's already clipped the Lubbock show. They had the Fearless Champions show. I said, it's just right around the corner. What if we get her home and show her for that? And if she does good, maybe we'll show her at Odessa. Swayze had just won for Odessa and couldn't go back with a steer. I thought, Jersey's going that way she could show something. And so anyways, we got her back, got her down here, showed her she won the British and was reserve grand at that show. She's never been beaten, breed. Obviously, she's one for one. There was two rings, though. But anyways, and I thought, well, that was fun. Let's show her to Odessa. And Ryan Rash is judging and he goes off on her and rambles on and on and talks about how good she is. And now I'm kind of getting my chest boat out thinking, hey, we got us freaking show heifer of the year. And anyways, it was fun and had no intention ever showing her, but it was a fun little. That was the extent of her show career. But we've never had the opportunity to flush her yet. And these eggs are Actually in the incubator as we speak, growing. And we got our predictions back today. We'll know how many she makes tomorrow. But she made just a. We flustered a purebred once and she made a bunch. And so we split them this time, made both of these matings. And she's on track to make more than enough to sell. And we're transferring some fresh to both of these bulls. And anyways, it'd be literally, when I say hot off the press, I mean it because they are getting made tomorrow. But they're a mating that we're extremely excited about, look forward to. And we think they're going to make really good bulls and even better females. And that doesn't even scratch the surface on the matador bull. The days. I know we're plenty long on time. I'm sure we've lost all listeners at this point. But the ones that are here for the ones that are here. I know any Hereford enthusiasts know. It's no secret how valuable the matador bull is to the days that the Bournes raised and what he's done. We kind of. We were excited to buy that semen. We wanted to buy it. We wanted to donate to that cause for the Patriot show. It was kind of a kill two birds with one stone deal. And we were. We were. Gave it a very strong college try to buy it. We didn't necessarily know why at the time, but looking back now, I mean, we really wanted it, but we didn't know we wanted it or needed it as bad as we got it. And now that we've got it, man, it's. It's been a kind of like that. It's been as a good of investment. Is the 020 calendar self 10 shells of semen. And that should speak for itself.
- [97:10]
A
Well, then 59 and 60 are both out of that rose cow that y' all got. Both are same full sibs. Am I correct on that?
- [97:20]
C
Yes. Yeah.
- [97:21]
A
Without a right answer.
- [97:22]
C
Yep. The Mesledine family's got a really, really good full sib to them on feedback.
- [97:28]
A
Elaborate on those real quick. And then we'll roll into the later Lots. Lot 6, 64.
- [97:34]
C
Jake.
- [97:35]
E
Yeah. Rose is a full siberance water. It's got a spotless calf on her side. Looks extremely nice. Ranch waters. I don't know. Bitsy and Chase, y' all correct me if I'm wrong, but we've had at least. I don't know, I want to say four to six branded east or not. Houston. A four six branded Fort Worth. Last Two years out of ranch water. I mean, those cattle are extremely good producing from the time that they're born. And get you the backdrop. I don't know that that female is. Is as consistent as just about any other Hereford female that we've got on our place. They're marked good.
- [98:12]
D
She's never had a bad calf.
- [98:14]
E
Yeah, they're marked good. They produce. The one Misalign family has. Is looks like a San Antonio contender for the breed. And amazing. A female animating that you can't go wrong with. As far as tying into.
- [98:33]
C
Yeah, you know.
- [98:35]
D
Next we have the 61 lot. Lot 61, that 204 cow. She is a newer female that we purchased from Open Bar. She is a Highway 33 out of their 604 cow. That 604 cows. Probably as good of good of a female that they've got going right now with 003 passing on. But those Highway 33, that's probably one of my favorite. Not probably. It is one of my favorite Hereford bulls. And the females and the steers. I mean, Brandon Patchke has had as much success as that bull as anybody. The last, I'd have to correct if I'm wrong, but I'd think like the last three or four Houston polled winners have been sired by Highway 33.
- [99:23]
C
In my mind, he would rival Matador's Fort Worth success. And the slick sheer polled success, like Power 33 in the Slickshire pole department. Has done what Matador has done in the Fort Worth pole department. They both cross over and can compete against each other in both fields. But I feel like both of them have been dominant in both of their respective fields.
- [99:45]
D
Yeah. So this cow's triple clean. These are sired by Arizona. Another. When we talked about them earlier, new bull, these. These could be really, really good.
- [99:55]
C
New mating. Never had them. Hoping to get some put in this year.
- [99:59]
F
And then we got 62, which is out of that made.
- [100:02]
C
Right.
- [100:02]
F
Bullet, y'.
- [100:02]
E
All.
- [100:02]
F
We're talking about earlier.
- [100:03]
C
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. The 002 cow. She's an original of the Open Bar. They bought a cow in 2019. I'm sorry, 2009. 10 years later, her number was 71 7. They bought her as a 2 year old out of Donors Unlimited. It was a Maid rite. And I think she come from Bradley. Anyways, they sold steers that were flush mates to that cow. And that was kind of how Open Bar got started was there. And they flushed the 002 cow to H21 time. And they sold them. This was back before I'm pretty sure that was the very first time they sold any for over 15,000. I mean, they sold a couple of them for right in there in that 15 to 20 range. One of which the days bought and sold to the Harlan family. That was the first one we ever had anything to do with. The Harlan's on the calf's name was Swagger, and that's about all we knew other than the girl showing its name was Swayze. I thought that was about the coolest duo name ever. And I was the first year Mullinax judged at Fort Worth. The calf was about as good as you could want one to be going to that show in any breed. And he ended up fourth. Everybody was excited for the opportunity to get to go compete, but I know everybody left somewhat disappointed with the result, as most people that get that close are. And we had to forgive Mullinax. The next year he made it up to all of us, all families involved in that calf. You know, next year reap the rewards in terms of the days winning and us being reserved. So we were quick to forgive, as you could imagine. But in the moment, we were definitely bummed out with the result. But we saw what he saw as well. But the calf was maybe just a little bit too much like some of the age 12s can be. Not talking bad about the bull, but he's got a place. He's just a little extreme. That's why we when they were kind of done with the cow, they had some younger and more up and coming donors and we were looking for cows. And so we gravitated towards that cow, knowing we had that semen of Matador, which is kind of a more relaxed bull in a lot of areas. Not quite as extreme, I guess what I'm trying to say. And so we wanted to try that cross and we did. And it's proven to work. We've got some really good females that are bred that way. And we had a steer that sold for 16,000 or something here, that's him pictured there that the beach family bought. Anyways, the calf's awesome. We the cow that's worked really well, she's now gone. So this will be the, I can assure you, one and only time those are offered. And I think we have less than 15 of them left. And I really can't believe we're even offering them the best. Be honest, other than we had a good picture of the kind of proof and thought it won't hurt to offer them. And I can assure you, if this is a mating that doesn't catch anybody's attention, we will be more than happy to keep them. And I'd be willing to bet we had.
- [103:05]
E
Last year we had two steers and one heifer. Kept the heifer. And what the two steers average.
- [103:10]
C
Yeah, that just over 15,000. That one about 16. I forget what the other one brought. But they, they were really good calves. They've been really good calves. The cows are consistent producer and they feed good. If you don't know that about major act by now, well, there's nobody that doesn't know that. So we don't have to worry about it. But it's a really, really good mating. I would for sure capitalize on it. A lot of these Herefords, I don't know, I shouldn't say all of them, but almost all of them are going to go back to open bar stuff. That is another one of them. And that would lead us to the next combo lot.
- [103:44]
D
Really the 63 through 67. Really you could do together or 66.
- [103:49]
C
Yeah, 66. Yeah, yeah. The first one is a combo lot. I'm gonna sure enough break that down. Just so everybody understands what we got going. We did a midnight yell flush early. And have already transferred probably 30 to. I don't know, probably about 36, 36 embryos out of Midnight Yell. And these are two of the only ones we have left. And we did not have a complete set of four. And so instead of not offering any, we thought we would just combine them and offer them together. I feel like my dad's and Robbie's Herefords are as good as slick shearing cattle in the Hereford. Deal is you could start with. And they've had some nice haired ones. I mean they've been as far as reserve grand at Fort Worth. Obviously they've had dang good haired cattle. But I feel like consistently their cattle are really good shearing ones. And they could use a shot of hair. And midnight yells. Probably one of my favorite Hereford bulls to add hair. And so we're super excited for that mating. And those two cows are both daughters of 604. Which is a just right 003. One's a riptide, one's a high tide. Feet and legs are great, builds great. We're just. I mean, I think either one of them. Nobody's smart enough today to look at either picture or either cow in person and say, hey, that one's going to make better than that one. I mean really, it's six one way, half a dozen another. In terms of which one could have a better calf at a midnight yell. So we just figure we offer two of each and let the good lord decide what sticks for you. And hopefully you get one or two of each. And the next matings are strictly out of 261 because that was the sole time we flushed 103. We just did her again but hadn't had any made yet. The so other two 261matings one is a 986 another bull a days that's had a lot of success. You got to breed him to a he goes back to that age 12 deal which then things can be a little bit tricked out which is a good thing if you use it in moderation. And that's exactly what we feel like that 261cow is going to do. It's going to moderate his extremes and make a really really good sound in calf. That's got all those unique pieces that 986 will put on them. So I think those that mating's highly sought after with 261 is an embryo making machine. I think the few she's ever made I don't even know but she. She makes a bunch every time. So we've got Battleship Arizona's out of her. And then there's another new bull of the Bournes. It's a son to matador that he calls live wire. And then we've got that's a proven mating. We've got three on the ground two bulls and they should be on the top end of our herpet calf crop when it comes time to sell them. If one of y' all so then.
- [106:31]
A
6066 through 676869 to meet majority of your Hereford lots. All differences kind of briefly go through those with us.
- [106:42]
E
Those are Jake Frankie one time in a write up said start off the comments as far as tie hard and thai fast boys and I feel like that could the same could be said on those. As far as whenever you get an opportunity to tie into a female or cow family like those you take full advantage of it and whatever money it takes will pay off in the end. As far as female and cow opportunity. I don't know. I there's whenever that opportunity comes along that doesn't come along often you take full advantage of it and make the most of it. I mean those are the type that produce pay the bills get you the backdrop. All the good things you want to say about whatever mating an opportunity that you get your hands on.
- [107:37]
C
Sweet on the Matilda cow. The last Hereford cow. I mean to me I Put I mean she's two years younger. No 20. So she's two years behind her in terms of generating which would be what you're going to transfer this year is when they'll be born. But I feel like man she is destined to generate. Has the potential to generate what a cow like some of those others have done in the past. I mean her picture is. That is legit and that is her everyday natural appearance. We did not feed them hard or nothing. We just ran them in there and pictured them and that thing's hip, hind leg, neck, everything about that cow. That'd be another one of them. Like I talked about 281 early on. That'd be another one of them that makes the top three that I'd for sure be hard, hard fetched to not drag with me. If we were in a fire and had to load a couple of them. She'd be one of them for sure that I made sure was on the trailer. And she would be the fruits of that matador semen that I touched on earlier. Man, she's another reason she's the very first and soul heifer we had the first year we used that semen and that was one of the moments that she was born and we looked at each other and thought oh my gosh, why do we ever consider not buying that scene? And goes back to a good just right 003cow like we've been talking about. I mean there's a be opportunity to flush her at the bottom of the sale. I'm sure we'll touch back on that. But man, that cow is something.
- [109:04]
F
Yeah, that thing has like zero nick.
- [109:06]
E
Yeah.
- [109:06]
C
Yeah, it's. She's incredible.
- [109:09]
F
I guess now as we start to jump into some of the crossbred clubby type cows.
- [109:13]
C
Oh yeah, Chase, take it away.
- [109:16]
D
Yeah, that cow, I love this cow. That's actually one that open bar raised we were fortunate enough to get from them maybe last year. Really? Yeah, I think that's right. They had had a. They had had a couple out of her out of her at 11750 that we actually ended up were lucky enough to get bought out of their sales. I think there was two of them that both made the sale at San Antonio and Houston. They were red and one was red and one was yellow. This cow's triple clean. And anyway I begged my dad and Robbie to do her to In God we Trust. And anyway, you know my dad, he loves white ones and he said all we're going to get white ones. And the Brandon and Jagger horn and us thought, why wouldn't you want that? And so anyway, we. We were able to get her bought and the very first thing we did her to is in God we trust. And anyway, we have been lucky enough to have a few raised up at Pete Whites in Oklahoma this past year. And we had. We had two yellow ones and a white one. And I every year and years past about this time, we go get a couple from Brandon right about now. And these look like the ones that we ask about that there's absolutely no way we can afford. And we're just so very fortunate to have them on the ground with us that we were can say that we raised. So we're offering four in God we trust out of her and four loving 750s. And I'm just telling you they will be good. And if you get them on the ground and don't think you want to sell them, which won't be in your mind, we would absolutely love the opportunity to.
- [110:59]
C
I would like to, for you just. I want to briefly say 6:12. And the next cow that Jake's going to talk about, we never had a very good plan. They're a little bit older, not real old, but they're old enough now and just weren't handy. They were up getting flushed whenever. And we were picturing these younger ones that we just got pictures of anyways. You're gonna have to look past their lack thereof. Professional pictures. They're the type of pictures that a mentor like Brandon Horn would think, oh my gosh, why did y' all post that? That ain't gonna make nobody want to buy nothing. And if it doesn't, no hard feelings. If you don't like it and you still want to buy them, just don't look at it. But we at least wanted to give. When I buy something, I at least like to have some sort of visual, even if it's not like, oh yeah. And I for sure need to buy them. At least gives you some general idea how the cows are built. And I hope you at least if you want to know, you can study those pictures and at least get some general idea how they're built and know that those are cell phone pictures of them out just in their everyday life. But I can assure you of all the matings that we're offering, I mean, there's not really any I don't believe in. Obviously we wouldn't have made it on that way. But I can assure you 54, 6 12, any of these will be some that you can bid with and bid with confidence on.
- [112:22]
A
Let's be honest. These are the Waldron brothers. If they were going to offer up eggs, they would not be offering up subpar eggs. So I'll just say that and say that with confidence.
- [112:32]
C
Yep.
- [112:33]
E
No, we appreciate that. And then roll on to Lot 72 comes. That cow comes from Brandon as a virgin heifer. We bought her and that goes. Actually, long story short, a guy that grew up a mile from our house. That whole cow family comes from a guy named Les Boyles. Us had a daughter. And out of. And that 54 comes from the cow family. Stella, I can't tell you how many calves at last place at Texas major shows. I want to say it's in the 10 to 15 range. Doesn't really matter. Bottom line is that those cattle time after time produced. But that was one of the very, very first cows that we bought from horn livestock. And she has done nothing but consistently produce. She threw the first three calves I think she ever had was Were all heifers. We kept every one of them back since then. Here recently we have a few springboards on the ground. I think we have a bill. Two bills. A solid red one and a black and white paint. And they look extremely, extremely nice. They're deep, soggy, easy to like.
- [113:38]
B
Easy to sell.
- [113:39]
E
Pay the bills kind of calves and like chase out on the previous lot. And really any of these lots, if you do end up with being lucky to be the winning bidder on any of these lots, we would gladly help you sell the calves if you don't have any desire to sell them yourself.
- [113:54]
C
We've got a really, really good in God heifer out of her too. In the springborn group. That's dark silver. I mean the perfect slick sheer Charlie color. And silver skin. Kind of gray skin, white hair, awesome heifer. We did it back to good after the bills look so good. Thinking if we could get red ones that way it'll make shorthorns. If we can get a red and white one like the black and white one, we're going to be in business. She's had an Angus before. One of those heifers. The third one I'm pretty sure Jake forgot. We actually sold to Rory D. And I think her sister might have one on feed. Does she have a golden boy or something? 950.
- [114:29]
A
She has a. Yep. She has a golden boar. 954. Yep.
- [114:33]
C
Or is a django out of 54?
- [114:36]
A
Yep. Yep. That is correct.
- [114:38]
C
Yep. Anyway, that cow produces the generator deal. Isn't as popular of a horn bull. He's one of them that kind of. I mean he's got so many bulls. I feel like every now and then you get one that's really good and he just kind of falls through the cracks. But he's a direct son of that 750cow. And I'm just telling you.
- [114:53]
B
Yeah, just to touch up on that 750 cow. She's an older cal of our. She's passed now, but she's a rock star festus cow. She'd be the mother of my grand champion she year at Houston in 2017. And as Bitsy would say, to have that in the bloodline is pretty, pretty special.
- [115:15]
C
Iron Man 11750 generator bits he believes.
- [115:19]
B
Wholeheartedly, and I'm not going to disagree with him, but Bitsy believes wholeheartedly that 11750 is the best feed bull that my dad has to offer. And he believes in that bull as much or more than anybody. And this cow also, she goes back to that 750, that great 750 cow. And so I'm gonna be honest, I think this 54 all three lots are very, very special.
- [115:46]
C
They're very, very dear to me.
- [115:47]
B
I think they've got tons and tons and tons of potential. Just a brief, brief little second on 73 the lot. 73. Those are the 54 sex male act of good back to good is past. The semen is impossible to get and to offer. Sex male. Not just, not just back good semen, but sex male back to good semen. That's worth a lot in itself. And so I believe wholeheartedly that that that genetic right there, that lot right there is something that I greatly, greatly believe in and is worth the time to pay attention to because that semen is worth something. And that cows or something.
- [116:28]
C
The in God. The in God are also sexed male. It says that on there. And we're gonna have to update the website. Jagger, I forgot to tell you that the here I ams are also sexed male. They're reverse sorted sexed male. But all three of the 54 locks are highly likely to get bulls. The first two are sexed male semen. The second one's reverse sort male. We've not noticed much difference at all between them two types of semen.
- [116:56]
D
Yeah, we've got in gods and here I am coming out of her.
- [116:59]
C
If you want to quite a few crossbred cattle. There's matings right there to raise any color, any kind, you just pick, you have no excuse. Charolays. Black ones, red ones, shorthorns, any of that. That cow, we've got three matings there offered to do it.
- [117:14]
B
And just like I mentioned, on that 750 cow, that's when we roll right on in to 75, 76 and 77. That cow is a paid in full 750. So here's a direct daughter out of our very, very, very high quality 750 cow. I'll let the boys talk about the genetics, the sires and their sire decisions. But this cow is very, very proven for the Waller Bros. She is a.
- [117:43]
C
Very, very good cow.
- [117:45]
B
That is sound, structured, good looking, got plenty of muscle. I believe that Weston, you are a purchaser of some embryos out of the.
- [117:55]
C
Now, he was a pretender. He backed up, he pretended like he wanted him, but he got scared in the last minute. I didn't know.
- [118:04]
A
I didn't say I was scared.
- [118:06]
C
But he's time to redeem himself here next couple of days.
- [118:10]
A
Well, Jagger Horn's final bid had to kick in. And I was more focused on American lots. I didn't want exotic lots.
- [118:18]
B
Here we go. Here's your shot.
- [118:21]
C
Hey, let's get it going.
- [118:22]
A
Yeah. Y' all want to talk? I'll bring it on. Come on.
- [118:26]
C
Get any more backup in you, you'd make a good heel horse. I can do it.
- [118:30]
A
Hey, come on. Now. All I'm gonna say is lot thick is lot 75 through lot 77 is out of this 8,145 cow. She's got won't back down. Red and white delight and king of kings. What I can tell you is she is TH Carrier and DS Carrier her on any single one of those bulls works. And I believe in the genetic backing. Now the boys can talk about her.
- [118:55]
D
Yeah, they. I mean, I would. And that cows in the same realm as Blondie Matilda, the old Hereford cow. I mean, this cow has quite literally never had a bad one. I feel like this year more than ever, I mean. I mean, when we got it from Brandon, we sold her first calf out of her belly as a virgin heifer. It was a macho man. To some boys in Wellman, the becker family, for 6,000. And.
- [119:24]
A
I don't.
- [119:24]
D
I think we've maybe averaged 12, five or so on our calves since.
- [119:29]
C
More between.
- [119:30]
D
I mean, that they all sold between 10 and 15,000 on about five or six head. And one of them brought. We did. Yeah, one of them brought 20. An Amazing Grace brought 25,000 this year. @ some point I was riding around with Brandon, I don't know, three months ago or so, four months Ago, it was back in the spring. And he said, bush, look at that.
- [119:51]
C
Look at that cow right there.
- [119:52]
D
And he rattled off what she was. I don't even remember what she was. You know how riding around with him goes. And he said, I'm about to. I'm about to open the floodgates to her due to everything, just like I did with 620. And I thought, man, that's just. I mean, the confidence he had to just say, hey, I'm gonna, you know, I'm doing it everything. And I'm telling you, we, we. I came home from that and I thought to myself, I just had this epiphany with 8,145. And I'm telling you, Bitsy, Jake and I, we did do her to everything. I bet we've got. I don't know how many. We transferred on her to every different bull you can think of.
- [120:23]
C
And we had remade.
- [120:25]
D
For the first part of her life, she was. She struggled to make embryos and which really, we probably should have our head examined for offering these. But she got. She's gotten to the point where she's.
- [120:36]
B
Made a little bit more for us.
- [120:37]
D
And we're just really, really glad that we can share the love on this. And I'm telling you, this 750 cow, being this cow's a direct daughter to 750. I'm just telling you, just get in. Just trust us. It is the good stuff. As at horn livestock. That's what they say, the good stuff. This is the good stuff.
- [120:54]
C
The cool part for me on this cow is you go to Brandon's and there's cows that absolutely blow your socks off in terms of quality. And it sounds silly for me. I'm trying to sell something on this cow. I'm about to tell you that she wasn't that cow. And that's just my honest reaction. I thought her picture was great, and I liked. Liked her a lot in person. She had a lot of quality, no doubt. But what I'm trying to say is she wasn't a. Oh, 21st of, hey, I don't care if she brings a zillion dollars, it's probably worth it, you know, like, she just looked like a nice solid cow. And to tell you how nice and solid she was, she only brings 8,500 in his sale. And I feel like that's what proves her value and these eggs value is the fact that she has worked her way up in terms of what she has generated. She's worked her way to her value in terms of getting into that same category that we're putting her in of Chase and what she's generated and what she means to us. And I just. We're buying her as a two year old heifer. And so that's why I feel like she didn't. Maybe she wasn't quite. She needed to mature before she really hit her stride. And now that she has it's looks silly that we ever considered her just being a nice one. Now she looks like a must own her her embryos and anything that comes with that.
- [122:13]
D
We didn't have enough of them to offer to make a set. But she's had some wall streets which is a purebred brangus bull. I mean are just pets really really hard to formulate how awesome they look as little calves.
- [122:25]
C
Yeah.
- [122:27]
D
Anyway, she works to everything.
- [122:29]
E
They're all good.
- [122:30]
C
We have never one dog Linda that we talked about Linda. It took us a couple times to figure out which direction we needed to go. This one is the kind of cow I think I even said it in the footnote for jets deal. You could breed her to the neighbor's billy goat and she probably would make you look smarter than you think.
- [122:46]
A
Neighbor's billy goat.
- [122:48]
C
Billy goat.
- [122:49]
A
How about that?
- [122:50]
C
We've not tried that yet. We did try everything else but we have not tried.
- [122:55]
A
Maybe you should try that neighbor's billy goat.
- [122:57]
C
I'm telling now it wouldn't be fair to the goat industry. We'd take it by storm. But the next next one up, if you're still with us at this point, we love you and appreciate you and I hope you get everything you ever want. But the next two locks are out of our new cow we bought out of Corky Wise's dispersal and they were responsible for picturing 180 heads. So I'm grateful for the footage we got. It's very good. But I'm telling you it does not do the cow justice. She is something to look at. She is wild necked, huge, ribbed. That's what I think you don't appreciate about her picture there is how good ribbed she is. Big legs, long skinny neck, really don't have nothing. No holes. She is the epitome of what I was just talking about. That 8145 didn't hit us as in terms of half the buyer. She did hit us that way and we've got her. We've got some red 5319s out of her that look incredible. She made nine of them. We transferred all of them seven of them took. Six of them are bulls. And it does look like there's going to be a lot of people from Payola, Kansas to Stockdale, Texas, want all 220 of them. They do look incredible. But with that being said, we are offering some red white delights on her and some bdrs. And like the 612cow, for example, is a BDR monopoly. So essentially, these eggs would be generating a potential 612. This one's the cow's th. So both mating, we try to be pretty conscientious and always having the genetic defects in place. So almost all our matings are going to be a th on a non th cross, trying to maximize that deal, really and truly. That graphs up all of the matings that we're offering here. You can go from whatever the first embryo mating is all the way down here to Lot 79. I would challenge you to buy them and transfer them. I don't care if they cost $200 or $3,000. Maybe they bring more. Sure they won't. They will make you money no matter what they bring. I'd almost guarantee that. And we will. Not only will they, we will help make sure they do. In terms of helping you sell the calves you get and any heifers that you get, I can assure you, you will look back in five or 10 years and think, oh, my gosh, I'm so glad I had those genetics here at my disposal now.
- [125:31]
A
And so now we're at the last two lots, 80 and 81, and you offer the public a right to flush 81 and 200, arguably, probably the best donors that you all have on your place. Would you all disagree?
- [125:44]
C
Absolutely.
- [125:44]
E
No, not at all.
- [125:45]
C
I mean, the one's probably the most proven, other than potentially O20 and she's cabin so late, we couldn't really offer her. She's not in cap till November. So that's the most proven available American donor. And then probably that's kind of how we landed on her. And we actually threw in the option to flush her daughter, the black daughter, 2281, because she's open and ready to be flushed if somebody would rather be on the kind of front side of it. And she's really, really good. She'd be a carbon copy of our 381cow that we've got some really good ingods and nitrites out of. But that's how we landed on her first calf. And then we landed on 200 because we thought, let's offer a proven cow and let's offer our most exciting young cow. And excuse me, that is how we landed on those two cows. Just in case we have not been smart enough to put the matings together that somebody wants to buy. We figured they won't have that excuse because they're going to have the chance to make their own.
- [126:40]
A
That's right. That is right.
- [126:42]
C
Well, Jake, what do y' all have? Dad? Anything?
- [126:44]
E
No. I mean, yeah. I mean, I think he covered the. Covered the meat and the potatoes kind of thing, but yeah, I mean, I would not be afraid of either of them, either of the three. And know that I know it may seem like a lot of money at a certain point in time. Those are literally some of the cows that we flush every two weeks. And I'm out of the three brothers, I'm probably the one that's the most conservative on flushing cows. And Taste and Bitsy take them every two weeks and we transfer them as often as. And as frequently as possible. So in full confidence that whenever you're buying them that. That the same stuff that we're putting in. And have the absolute utmost confidence in the way that they're going to generate and. And go on to be successful in the show ring.

Absolutely.

For sure. And those are going to be. They're all open and available to flush. We're guaranteeing six transferable embryos. All of them have been flushed to 2281 has it. But her mom and sisters all have made well over six embryos. Like I'm talking 10, 15, 20, sometimes even 30 embryos on one flush. And 200 has made. She made 10 the first flush. And they're guessing 16 that they'll make tomorrow. Minimum of 14, probably 16, maximum 20. Anyways, we're. There's no doubt what you're going to receive on getting or getting to flush those cows. You'll get well beyond the minimum guaranteed they're available. And we will. We can do that through Vitali. Be the most convenient for us over at Jerry's El's or Reagan Brooks does it in house there over in Kingsbury at Elite Repro. No, not Elite Reprogram. Agrimark Genetics. Elite Repros, Jarrett Ezel were Vitalikums. So those are the two most prevalent outside chance. We could facilitate getting them to trans over if that was better for the buyer. But no guarantees on that. But we'll do. We'll always do. No matter what we're doing. We'll do what we can to accommodate.

Well, sounds like we have gone through the whole sale and Honestly, I think that if. If someone is going to bid in this sale, they're doing the right thing. But what I'll tack on to that is that I believe in what the Waldorf brothers have to offer, as well as what Jagger statements have been throughout this episode. This has been arguably one of the longest, but arguably one of the best. These boys truly care about what they have to offer to the public, and that's evident. So I'm not going to be afraid to say that a long episode is. Is bad because this has been extremely deep and they have given all the info that they possibly can. So what I will say is that I'm proud to have the Wal brothers on. I hope to have them on again. But with this said October 24th, their prime time online genetic sale is going to be on SC online sales. If you look that up, you'll be able to to find everyone's number. So I appreciate y' all trusting in us to do this preview. I appreciate y' all in believing in me and believing in the genetics that y' all have to offer.
