A
Well, everybody, we got someone new coming on for a preview here on empower U. We're very excited to have Mr. Ty Webster come on and join us. Grateful for the opportunity that we get to represent cattle like this. It's kind of intriguing to look at all the genetics and all the success that happens up there. So, Ty, if you would like to introduce yourself, what y' all do there at Webster cattle company. And then after that, we'll dive into all of the lots and discuss the stories, genetic backings, and everything of that nature.
- [00:28]
B
Yeah, absolutely. No, I'm Ty Webster from northern Missouri called Powersville. We run a pretty extensive club calf operation up here. We got lots of cows, handle a little bit of semen and some bulls and trade quite a few show steers in the fall and spring. And we're. We're getting ready to have our genetic sale here that we have. Every spring. We have one or two of them, and it's kind of time to get rolling on everything. It seems like this happens earlier and earlier every year, but we're excited with the young donors that we've got to bring to you. None of these cows have. Have too many seasons under their belt, but seem to be doing a pretty good job and a calf crop or two. And we're getting to rolling on them. So I'd love to visit with you about them.
- [01:11]
A
Well, the sale obviously happens on March 1st. It'll happen on steer bidder. And really, we start off with a real impressive set of analytics, really, that I see in your comments. But you're here to offer some embryos out of yalls infamous 122 donor. Obviously, she's as good as it gets over monopoly. The sire to the embryos or Here I am. So talk to me about the story on the female in that mating. Here I am. Obviously, you sold a steer out of this mating for 37,000 and another one for 25,000. I mean, seems like it's working really, really well.
- [01:45]
B
Yeah, absolutely. That was our first calf crop out of 122 on a large, large scale. We had her natural calf the year before. Was very competitive in Arkansas, and he was out of. Here I am. Won a lot of jackpots down there. And then this last spring, we've had quite a few of them calves born and. And got along very, very well. They were really well received. A lot of the. A lot of the people I have a lot of respect for in the business as far as feeding cattle and presenting cattle, were pretty intrigued by them, and we got them into Some really good homes. The 122COW is a cow that originated from Mark Ball over there. They're in western Missouri. And. And we acquired her from him and her build and everything was just enamoring to me. I mean, her front end structure and looseness of spine and just how everything flowed was always, always off the charts and had crazy, crazy presence. The way her spine and legs and everything worked with her body shape, I thought, here I am was a great way to go on her. It seemed to work pretty good so far. Like just this last week she had third overall at VCCP there out in Virginia. That calfs had landed in a real good home there in Indiana. And then we've got another one that's in a dang good home in Illinois that would. Wade Rogers would originally bought out of the pasture sale. So yeah, that cow in a short period of time with that one flush right there was dang good. And we had a big. She's a good flusher. Embryo seem to be pretty sticky. Before I get too much into any of these lots, we're going to stand behind them 110% as far as as, you know, being high quality embryos. You know, we, we guarantee one out of three eggs for sure. You know, I. I think you'd get along better than that, but we're going to stand behind that. And if anything doesn't work out, we dang sure work with you however we need to. But no, back to the here I am 122s. It's pretty slam dunk stuff. We've got some that are really good this time around the ground too, that are late Decembers, early January's. They're kind of getting to the age where you can tell what they look like. And I really like the way they look.
- [03:53]
A
Yes, sir. Well, then, lot two, it's the same female, but over some. How great thou art. My question is, have y' all had any of these? Do you have any record of the mating yet? Why did you decide to go that route? What are you most excited about with running her over? How great thou art?
- [04:09]
B
Yeah, no, absolutely. So this spring we've the majority of her calves this time around will be how great thou art. We had a heifer that we kept back this last year that was black and white that I was really, really high on that ended up coming back clean that we KE in the herd and we sold another one of them to Cola Rins up there in Wisconsin and got it in a dang good home in Illinois that he sent me. A video today that Kev looks like he's doing all the right things. And then this year we've got, like I said, quite a few out of how great thou art. And they come with a little bit extra chrome marked really, really well. You can get a main, main Angelo kind of marked one as far as red and white for down south. And then cattle seem to be a little shorter back to a little chubbier. But I really like that mating on that cow. You know, Here I ams are for some of the guys and how great thou arts are for some of the others. And it seems to both work on this cow. But like I said, this one will come with a little bit extra, extra color to it. And you can dang sure get a red one, get a little white on the head. But yeah, we seem to get along pretty good both ways and. And we've actually had some females like I said, out of this mating last year that I was really, really high on.
- [05:19]
A
Well then Lot 3 is next. Same female, but obviously over High Hopes, which is Yalls bull of course. And as listed, y' all had a heifer out of the bull that sold for 61,000, which is really, really impressive. So talk to me about what you're most intrigued about this mating.
- [05:33]
B
Yeah, just to be real transparent, that was the only one we had that time. That was the first flush 122 herself had a fairly large calf her first time around. Maybe just wasn't what we were looking for as far as a Cavanese bull on that thing. But it is what it is. And it came out a little large. And that was her first flush. She made two eggs stuck that one. That was the Only high hopes 122. We had that thing since birth was wild looking. I mean to say the least. Very, very big in her pieces. Maybe not the smoothest animal you've ever seen in the world, but wild, wild looking as far as her neck bone features. Always was really good haired for a th free one. Like I said. I mean in our pasture sale is where we kind of highlight a lot of that. Our genetic, our personal genetics. And we had plenty of people that like I said, had a lot of respect for. We're not necessarily known for our heifers. We dabble in it just a little bit. But the guys that were, we're intrigued by that one. It meant a lot as far as our own bull, our own cow and moving forward that way, that mating. We'll put it in the comments here. That would be a registerable high Key female with that mating.
- [06:42]
A
Well in Lot 4 is next obviously same cow but over golden ticket obviously you had a golden ticket sell for 32 000. Really impressive mating. To be honest. These golden tickets I'm seeing more and more of and they're coming to really nice calves. I mean dense, boxy, really really bold made calves.
- [07:00]
B
Yeah, no, thank you very much. Yeah, this lot formating be sibs to the kif that the Lorenz family purchased out of the pasture sale. He was grand grand in ring B and reserve and ring A up at the the old Sioux Falls. They call it the summit now. Got along really good up there. I really like the way that calf's growing and progressing. You know golden ticket like you said is throwing them really really chubby and really dense and really pulled apart. And on a wild looking cow like this, it worked really well. And not to sound like a broken record, that was the second flush we did on her that time and we didn't get but that calf right there out of that flush we like I said we were slow going. Starting with 122. Now she cranks out 10 to 20 eggs around and seems to be clicking right along. But I wanted to give her a good chance with a bull of ours and we know that semen was good and she just didn't maybe give it back to us like we wanted to. But that one calf there was, it was a stud since birth. I mean he came out really flexible, really, really smooth. Big, big, big hairs. I can't say enough good things about that calf. I think that calf in that home will really show what that cow and bull both can do. We are going hard in the paint again with that, with that meeting along with the rest of them on 122. Like I said, I, I like that calf. And and for silver ones, you know they're not, not stereotype them by any means but that calf, there's the way he shoots up out of his blade and how his head sits on his shoulders and neck is, is pretty crazy looking. But no, I, I really like that chest and that mating.
- [08:38]
A
Well then 5 through 7 are going to be all embryos out of yalls female one over 708. She's in here. I am over 708 BVR over monopoly so talk to me about the female. Obviously this is correlates to somehow with the Murphy family, right?
- [08:56]
B
Yes sir. Yep.
- [08:58]
A
I mean great family. We've talked to them as well here on the podcast and obviously the female's been working really, really well especially for her first or second calf crop.
- [09:07]
B
Yeah, no it's. I'll group all five, six and seven all together because we've only had this one mating to this point out of in God but one over 708. I went down to MRFS there. I forget how many summers ago and and they were breaking that heifer. She was a fall silver and white paint. Absolutely beautiful. Really didn't maybe look like what you think a here I am BDR Monopoly would look like if you were to paint her black. She'd be a high end show heifer. Very, very smooth. Deadly in her lines. Real neat and tucked up in her chest. And her front end structure was absolutely dead on. I thought she was without a doubt the kind of cattle we needed to make colored ones with because I thought her elegance and her smoothness with that punch back in there was was what a guy was needing. And I purchased half of that heifer off a Cole and Britton tie there. Then a couple years later keep going back down there and we keep building up. We keep doing more and more stuff back together and one over 708. 708 is a business done right Monopoly. And we've actually purchased and marketed quite a few cattle out of her. And the consistency in her only makes me more and more pumped up about the one over 708. But no her. Her first calf crop. She raised a market heifer for us that we sold to a family in Iowa. The lover and family. She won a real competitive class at the Iowa Beef Expo. I know that doesn't sound a lot to some people but if you've been to the Iowa Beef Expo market after show it's. It's without a doubt the most competitive market division you can find anywhere in the country. That heifer did a great job feeding for them. We. We did her back that way. The calf pictured in the in the lot here would have been the one of our high selling steers this fall that Nolan Ferguson bought the Kane family showing them there in Iowa. He wins down for the cause. There's Thanksgiving weekend. I'm probably going to be a little more up to date on some of this stuff by the time the sale happens. But we've been. We talked to Nolan today that Kev's going to the beef expo. He says he's doing everything right and looks real good. And then down here at our place we actually clipped a brother to him that we sold privately later in the fall that came from a cooperator herd that I think will be really really good. For division one there at the Beef Expo. But as far as one over 708 throws them perfect feet and legs. Very, very good ear set and heads on them. For In God We Trust in charolais derivative animals. And as far as hair goes, you can't imag thick and how nice and great their hair quality is. It's been second to none out of In God we trust. We've had had white ones and we've had yellow ones. Knock on wood. We haven't had but one that what I would call a little bit of a darker gray. But was far from a rat tail. Just to be real transparent, you know, with the end. God, here I am. It's always a possibility, but we haven't had it yet. Really really like this cow. Really want to keep doing a lot of more things with her. And the calves to this point have been. Have been awesome. Like, like I said, I'm going to group all five, six and seven together. Five would be sibs to Cane's calf and that they won down for the cause. And a couple of our high sellers six will be the first golden tickets we've ever had out of that cow. And then we also did her to paved with gold non sexed Just because Murph and I kind of thought with lining up a couple great cow families like 708 and Little Red. Well, if a guy got a female out of that, it's not the end of the world. By no means. I mean. And we're trying to be as progressive as we can. And that's why we didn't sort them right there.
- [12:39]
A
Well, real impressive for sure. And the Next would be 8 and 9, which will be all embryos out of yalls female. Y' all call 191. She's a prophet son over a smiling Bob Irish whiskey Kelly. Eight is gonna be on some in God we trust. Nine is obviously gonna be out yalls golden ticket. This female has done quite a bit of good for y'.
- [12:58]
B
All.
- [12:58]
A
It looks like. Definitely lots of color, lots of variation, but all pretty similar in their types and kinds. Just looking at pictures in terms of, you know, foot and bone, rib cage and size of their hip. For sure.
- [13:10]
B
Yeah, no, absolutely. 191 is really neat. You know, I got that cow from Barry Ryman up there. She was a smiling Bob 275 that was kind of on the way up at 275. And I always had great luck with Smiling Bob steers. You know, trading a few of them back when he was a little more popular than now and got along great with them. Seen that cow up there. Got her acquired from Barry and we bring her home. We do her to here I am and worth the wait and get along awesome. Them cattle were all stamped very very good dinner to chosen one. One time raised a couple females that were brought well over 20,000 and were competitively showed as market heifers in the state of Iowa. And then I had actually bought a profit son out of an Angus cow. I had sold Udells that I was always really high on. He was always really close to my heart and he had a real, real bad attitude. Never got that bull pictured. Never really got him promoted like he needed to. But we used him really. Maybe not as much as we needed to but we flushed a handful of cows to him. I knew he the red gene carrier kind of thought he would work to mellow out some of the hotter genetics we had. So I flushed 691 to that prophet son. First calf that we ever had out of the mating was 191. We've had some black ones since that are a little younger and coming up within our herd. 191. She's just been a stud since birth. Always. Really really great color. Red almost black faced and tailed. Absolutely ridiculous big feet. She's big in the middle part of her leg. I mean it sounds weird or corny but there's cattle that are big feet and big boned. But right there in the middle part of her leg. It's absolutely awesome. Always had a great look to her and really good in her lines. Really really high on that one. And the in God we trust meeting that we had. That calf that wins California was the first one we had born out of that. I almost. I almost left that bull or that steer intact. I was really high on that calf as a baby. Thought maybe he just maybe wasn't quite as masculine and out there as what I was looking for for a bull. But I thought he was dang close if that tells you anything. As far as how just burly boned and big haired and just, just out there looking. He was. He was. He was right there to being a bull. We get him, sell him to Blaine Rogers. He gets him into a great home in California. Has a great run out there. Them pictures and videos of that calf at that state fair. I think he'd have been competitive at a lot of them. So then we fast forward to this fall in between there. We get heifer to death on this deal. Not in a bad way but just maybe didn't have as many of them to market as we wanted to as show heifers. They were falls and we'll have a pile of them come up in the combined forces this winter. There'll be one after another in that group. We're getting them all tested and set up to breed right now. And I'm really high on them. But fast forward to this fall. Blaine actually comes back and buys one of our high sellers in our November sale. That was a full brother was another in God 191. That calf at the first show he goes to makes the top five at a real competitive show there in South Dakota for the bear family. And then the calf that's pictured there at the bottom of the the little flyer we got there, that would be the golden ticket. The first golden ticket we ever had out of that mating. And that calf's down there at Chaplain's getting ready for us his March 1st sale. And he's something. I mean he is extremely heavy duty. Very, very smooth sided. Probably not as. Probably not as elevated as the in God we of that cow. Not in a bad way but probably a little more moderate and husky and look like he's going to grow to the ground in a good way. But like I said, I'm real high on 191. We've had a lot of in God we trust got a few golden tickets that are. We're on the ground this year that will sell this spring yet. And then we've got probably 10 or 12 of these Golden Ticket 191s that are due 10 March. We're getting ready to K on. So. So like I said, I mean I probably get a little long winded on her for sure because she's a top and bottom side is stuff that I purchased from good people that I know that have had great cows and great luck and great cow families. It seems to be working and it's real rewarding to have a cow like 191.
- [17:27]
A
Absolutely anxious to see his video and such when it comes out for chaplain sale there on March 1st as well. But back to the lots. 10 through 12 are going to be all out of your donor Cal called 201. She's a made to order over business. BDR 10 will be how great thou art. 11 will be golden tickets and 12 will be over a bull that we've yet to talk about which is top dog. So talk to me about the female, what she's done for y'.
- [17:54]
B
All.
- [17:54]
A
Obviously those how great thou art steers average 10,000 for y' all this fall. And the golden tickets again. We've talked about his calves. I'm interested to see what your thoughts are on top dogs as well.
- [18:05]
B
Yeah, no, absolutely. 201's another cool story. She goes back to a cow that I had sold Jake Lee and Joe duro we called 801. She was a business done right. Carpe Diem Troubadour 5005 Adani Bogocas. We have a lot of cattle in our herd. They go back to 5005 and and 8001 was without a doubt one of the more impressive animals I've ever sold. She sold the same year on my bread heifer sale as Little Red kind of got out shadowed by by look one of the greatest cows to, you know, ever bless the business. But 801 as danger held her own as far as being a real, real great producer. The first she ate on one herself was dirty. And the first flush they did on her was the made to order. They have Jake and Jake and Joe have an online sale of fall born heifers. 201 was a was lot 1 a th free made to order on 801 and it only made sense to get her back. I probably shouldn't have let 801 go. I dang sure wasn't gonna let this one slip through the cracks. So we get her flush her pretty extensively. Her first calf crop to how great Thou art got along very good. All them calves pictured in her little insert there is our all How Great thou arts. We had them every color and size you could have in the under the sun. We had silver, silver and white paints, yellow and white ones, red and white ones, all red ones. And then that black bull pictured there. We're not going to get crazy into him, but he's a How great thou art 201 we call 200. That was his farm tag and we just kept it with him. We are extremely high on that bull. He being a how great thou art son and a little younger. We're not going to push him too hard till we know his semen qualities where we can say it's flush quality. But as far as a bull, he's without a doubt one of the neatest creatures I've ever raised. When he hit the ground, there was no doubt in my mind we were leaving leaving him intact. He was absolutely out there boned out there haired, short sighted, extremely, extremely high quality. And that's a little bit how201 throws himself is very smooth, very sound, very elegant. She's Got a lot of punch in her pedigree and it comes out. But I like them cattle really well. Lots of great cattle to make sale cattle, if that makes sense as far as marketing in the fall and spring. Great color patterns, great muscles, good, good looks, good, good looks to them. And then when you move on to Lot 11, her natural calf that she had when we let her have her first, first AI calf, if you would say after a Cavanese calf, we had a golden ticket bull out of her. Silver broccol face that came back th clean, heavy duty muscle. Very, very short sighted. Just a real, real stouty. We leave him intact. We got him running around in the herd. We use him sparingly here and there. Obviously he's plenty, plenty lined up with all the rest of our stuff. But I do think we've got some calves coming out of that bull here in March and April. That'll be pretty neat. And then we fast forward down here to Lot 12. Hot Dog 201 would actually be a clean mating. Top dogs and boulevards that he's an in God we trust 115 from John Nelson. We seen a litter of them calves at Chappies that he had sent over there to sell and Grady actually had showed one his last year. One of them in God 115s and, and we went back over to John's and he had Top dog standing there. And I was absolutely fell in love with that bull. He was a lot different than what I'm used to as far as muscle shape being very, very wide, square, pinned. If I haven't been to a lot of slicking shows, by no means, but a little more slickshire built. I thought he was awesome. To add to our arsenal. I think he adds a lot of variety and diversity. But with all that being said, the way 201 throws them, I thought Top dog's hair quality and her hair quality. I was just trying to make good cattle here. I'm not really worrying about the th or the, you know, th free on th carrier and this and that. I thought it was just good cattle to good cattle. And I'm really, really excited about this mating. We've got a lot of these coming here in June and July. That flush was real big and real good. Got along great with conception. We talked to the co op herd the other day and we've got a lot of these coming and I'm really, really pumped up about it.
- [22:20]
A
Yeah. Well then moving along is lots 13 and 14 using the embryos out of the female. Y' all call 005. And what's intriguing is she's a full sister to here. I am. Correct?
- [22:32]
B
Yes sir. Yep.
- [22:33]
A
That's awesome. And this 13 will be over how great thou art. And then 14 will be over maternal maiden. I think extremely neat. Repetitive matings that work for sure.
- [22:44]
B
Yeah. Absolutely. Del5 I actually bought a group of heifers from Joe Pifer, the other partner with Tracy and 805. And I bought a group of them. We had three dirty ones and one clean one. Blow five was that clean one that we kept back. We virgin flush her doing God we trust sell some bulls in the exchange for good money that. That have gone on to do a dang good job. We. We get one. One freakazoid steer. And then we get a yellow heifer and a silver heifer. I mean that whole flush was. It was out of this world really. And we get along great with her. I've actually. We skip a couple years in there because I take that female and I sell her to Phil Loughner and Corky Weiss. They made me an offer I couldn't refuse on her. She goes down there to Corky's and then I buy her back at a Corky's dispersal. She lays down and has a walks this way heifer which if you follow pedigrees at all is extremely lined up. And that heifer is extremely good. And we. We go from there to a flusher to maternal maid. We've got some maternal maid daughters on the ground this year that are absolutely incredible. It'll be real interesting to see how we market them animals. I mean and we can't afford not to. But maternal mate on that cow was. Was out of this world. And. And then we also flush her to how great thou art. We haven't had any of them cattle. But I think it'll be a great mating. It's obviously a little bit lined up. But I really really like how the. How great thou arts work back on a little more punch back there in the background. And the way 8O or double O5 throws feet bone and ruggedness. I think it could be. Be pretty wild really. But we're. We're high on this cow. We're glad to get her back. And we're. We're moving forward with her extremely extremely hard right now.
- [24:36]
A
Well then 15 and 16 are next. Both indicative deals. 399 donor. Both lots are going to be sexed female embryos. Obviously 15 is going to be over high hopes. 16 is going to be over new heights. New heights has been extremely extremely Sought after here recently, obviously High hopes has raised one heifer. That and only one heifer. And she sold for quite a bit due to the fact of just her quality. So talk to me about the female and why he decided to mater to these two bulls.
- [25:10]
B
Yeah, absolutely. 399 would be the only direct daughter we have out of all me and599.599 would be a cow that we purchased that went on to raise a 899 hidden gem for us that we sell Sullivan's and then we actually end up selling to Ethan Moore and Mark and Deb Kaur there. And one of her first meetings was to all me raises one for all. So going. If you could follow all that timeline of the randomness I just talked about. We took 599 and made her back to all me just because we seen it work so well on a daughter. She was a fall born. That was absolutely awesome. Would have brought as much as they could bring as a fall like some falls do. She did not hold her hair long enough to make it to picture day. So probably a blessing in disguise. Without a doubt. We take that heifer and we do something a little different with her. We virgin flush her to epic. So them cattle would have been epic. All me five nines. And if you follow one for all at all, he's a all me epic 599. So we kind of kept it all together, just lined it up a little different. That was a big flush we got along awesome with. And we sold pick at two heifers in our October sale. One of them brings 34,000. We retain the other one. And then we sell another heifer in the pasture sale for 18,000 to Wade Rogers. That she wins the mains in both rings at down for the Cause and is going to the beef expo this weekend for the Noonan family. But that that cow's done it time and time again. You know, this spring we've got some high hopes on the ground that I really, really like. You know, compared to our club calves, they're a little tougher to tell exactly what they look like. But I think the lines are there and the quality's there. The high hopes on 399 will be maintainer, low key, registrable. And then when we got down to this Lot 16, I had seen enough new heights and got enough respect for the Udell firm that I really, really wanted to use this and try out the maintainer side of things. 399 being as high main as she is, I think the maintainers and main Angus on her will be absolutely off the charts. We're actually feeding a couple new heights heifers here. One's a percentage Scimitol and we're really liking how they're growing, how they're feeding. I think them cattle add a lot of diversity to how cattle Angus bulls are kind of bringing to the table. He's a little different that way as far as bringing a little more punch, a little more bone. And I think this mating could be. Could be pretty cool. We haven't had any of these yet. Like I said on a couple of them other ones I just. I thought one we could make maintain or main Angus cattle to market and two, I thought it was just high quality animal to a high quality animal.
- [27:52]
A
Well then moving to on to 17 and 18. This is a female that we have talked about previously. And she's out of that double O5 which is the full sister to here I am. But she's an out of In God we Trust over that cow. 17 and 18. 17 will be out of a bull that's called Hondo which I assume Yalls bull, correct?
- [28:11]
B
Yes sir. Yep. Awesome.
- [28:12]
A
And then 18 will obviously obviously be the Amazing Grace bull. Obviously she's already had a round of calves hit the ground which was out of that bull. So they'd be full sibs to the $20,000 heifer. $13,500 steer and $10,000 heifer.
- [28:25]
B
Yeah, absolutely. A2 over 805 was a part of that flush we had on 005 before we sold her. She was always the outlier of the group. We actually offered half of her in a bread heifer sale as an open heifer. She was kind of a featured lot. I'm actually looking back on it. I'm not so for sure if that wasn't sale that we purchased 122 out of from Mark Ball. But we offer her up in a sale on Steerbitter. Sell half of her to Laramie priest. We both have been getting along great with this animal. She's been very very consistent as far as throwing a really round body, really heavy structured, very easy marketing, easy doing high quality cattle. Hondo is a bull to kind of go back to some of our other donors we've talked about before. Hondo would be a How great thou art on one over 708's mother. 708 business done right of Brent Murphy's there in Houstonia and we'll have a video up of that bull. I bought him as a. As a Fall born calf and I was high, high high on that thing and I wish I had a pictured in this summer slick. We were waiting for him to hair up. He gets haired up. We get bad weather. He gets to rubbing. That video we'll put up of him is just in his everyday working clothes. It's as a baby. It's as a as. As a we when we weaned him. And then there's one of them here from just a couple days ago and he's pretty rubbed out and just in his working clothes. But I think that bull is extremely impressive. He's a red bull that is a th free pha free and a DS carrier. And we're. We're going to do this mating time and time again because I think it can work and it could work pretty neat. And then we get down to that lot 18 like I said Amazing Grace is the only way We've done her before up here at our place. Jeremy has done her the Hol and El Chapo and then make them cattle will be marketed this spring down there by him. But we've gotten along great with our Amazing Graces. We don't sort that semen on that cow just because we did end up with a couple heifers that are like Mabel some of our featured sail heifers in our pasture sale. So we just let them be and. And I can't say a really enough about 2 over 8005 as far as just. She's. She's a unique individual. I mean when people come on the farm she's definitely. She's definitely a talking piece.

Well then moving on to 19 and 20. These are going to be embryos out of yalls 121 donor. She's a bankroll over the Thompson and Diepman's 7 over 35 maternal maiden monopoly female. Obviously these are going to be 19 will be over high hopes. 20 will be over Here I am. I'd go out and say that this is probably one of the more exclusive embryos of the sale. I mean this got a lot of pedigree in it and definitely a lot of backing in terms of progeny that sold real, real well.
- [31:17]
B
Yeah. No one 121 is a cow that Nolan Ferguson and I actually seen in Nebraska on our way home from clipping some calves in Colorado. Seen her really really liked her. Purchased her that fall in that sale for what seemed like too much money at the time. 121 was just one of them. She was easy to look at. I mean she's Easy to like just floated around the pen. Lots and lots of presents to her. The 735 stuff. I mean, I can't get enough of it. As far as on the cow side of things. I really like them cattle. We've had great luck with a few that we purchased from chad out of 735 and. And 121 is. Is. I mean she's young. We're. We're using her very hard in both mine and Nolan's firms. We've never flushed her to high hopes, but we did it a couple times this winter just after seeing what she did on 122 and how they resemble in type and kind and what they can make. And then you get down to the 20. That would be full sibs to all the steers we sell this past fall and then the fifth overall steer at Badger kickoff this past. This past winter. Like I said, 121 is. Is absolutely awesome. We've had sisters tour that have done great, but this cow just is open right now and flushing really well. We thought it was maybe time to offer some of her eggs to the public.

Well then moving on. The rest of the sale are going to be more semen lots than anything. I'd like you to walk through just all of the bulls, maybe some of their background. Obviously we've talked about golden ticket. I hope Top dog. One bull that we haven't or we talked. We touched on Hondo too as well. One bull that we haven't touched on is Red Bull. That one you own with Pryor. I'd like to know a little bit about him and boss.
- [33:00]
B
Yeah, no, absolutely. The Red Bull from Pryor is a bull that we actually need to name. He sent him over to have them in the bull sale. We actually ended up purchasing his half out of that bull in the bull sale. I really, really, I really like that bull as far as what he offers and in foot and bone and structure and easiness of doing his pedigree, he is a perfection on a class on class cow. At Priors he calls Cherry Bomb, which is a young cow and what little bit I've been around Prior. If he gets high on a cow, getting in early is about the only time you can get in because he runs hard and he runs fast with them. And this bull came out of a real good flush. There was good females. Another good brother that we sold to a. To a young man in Indiana and, and I, I like this bull a lot. We're going to use them a couple different ways. Some of the cows we talked about here earlier, towards the end of spring, we're probably going to flush them that way to make females out of. His rear leg is as big and as square and as sound as any bull I've been around. He's got good size to him for making females. I do think this bull would have a steer or two in him. That's not how we're going to use them here at our place. But I could see where you could go to go to IVF and or conventional flushing and not have to worry about the sex. Either way, I'm just telling you how we're going to use them here at the house. And we're real high on that bull as far as doing some different unique things. I think he'll be a real cornerstone for our bread heifer market that we have there in the combined forces in December.
- [34:31]
A
And have y' all tested him at all?
- [34:33]
B
Yes. Yeah. No. He is a th free pha free and a DS carrier.
- [34:38]
A
Even better. Well then talk to me about that boss bull as well. He's intriguing.
- [34:42]
B
No, absolutely. He was our high selling bull out of our bull sale last year. We sell half of him to a family there in Illinois that we've gotten along great with. And this bull here is a How great thou art on Doris and Ryman or Doris and and Rogers is 1244 Cal. When we had the opportunity to march at him for Luke, it made a lot of sense. I've really, really liked 1244. I always thought her, her bulls or females would out generate her. And I think we're on the right path of it. As you see Hazel and a few other cows of Wade's coming up. But boss was. He's a unique individual man. I mean he's great, great headed, really, really chubby bodied. Just a real sound, just good structured bull. He's just different. I mean he carries himself really well. He's got bull written all over him. I mean you never would have thought about cutting this dude. But he is th free, pha free and a DS carrier. We just took him up and jumped him a couple times. He was a little younger. That semen froze real good up there at Jay's. That's another bull. We're going to use them a little different around here. We're probably going to use them to make a few females on some cold blooded cows. I think that moving on to this bull and moving off and building off of some daughters of him will be absolutely awesome. There was a few guys that got semen last spring that did make him use them to make show steers. I think they'll get along great that we've just probably got too many daughters in our deal that that maybe wouldn't match up with him. Like I think maybe a guy would need to so we're going to use him to make females as well just because the the maternal side of how great Thou art and then the 1244 on the back side, I think it offers a lot of punch to some cold blooded cows to make some cool stuff.
