A
Okay. Okay, I'm excited. So we've done a sale preview before, and it was phenomenal. Like, people. The amount of people that listened to it shocked me, for one, because I know that there's probably not that many people in the beefmaster industry, but now we're just taking it to a whole other level. And now we get to interview Mr. Willie Weiss about his sale that's coming up here on October 12th on SC online sales. And he's got everything from Angus to simmies to a limb flex, couple chars, shorties, and much more. And the fact that we get to cover majority of those animals for him just makes me really excited. I don't know about Luke. Luke's a semi guy. He. He likes. He likes playing with the baldies. But with all that said, I'm glad to have Willie back on. He did an episode with us before he talked about his story, but now we're going to talk about the story of the sale and how much it's done for him. The cattle that are in it, the cow bases, the bulls behind them as well. I'm really excited. Luke, you can give them, the audience your thoughts as well. And then, Willie, you can kick it off with maybe how you're feeling, what you think made a little bit of background of the sale, and we'll just go from there, man.
- [01:11]
B
Yeah, I think this is definitely still a little new to us, but I'm enjoying it. Like the way we did the last one. Thought it came out really good. I think this is even. Definitely an even bigger step forward, especially. I know as well as anybody, I like to look at sales all day online, and there's tons of them, so at least be able to sit back and talk to the breeder and really see how the sale itself lines up. I think it's pretty sweet, for sure, Willie, if you want to let them know.
- [01:34]
A
Yeah.
- [01:34]
C
Well, thank you guys for. For having me on here again. And when you guys called about an opportunity to go on and do a sale preview, I was. I was pumped up as well. Really enjoyed talking to you guys. When we did the first podcast and then just. We do a. We do a pretty average job a lot of times of. Of promoting our cattle for the online sales. So I thought this would be kind of a good way to go through. And you guys pitched to me and. Yeah, excited to be here. So this is our 5th annual online all breeds heifer sale, and it's something that we've kind of. We've gone to. When I first graduated out of college, we had one and, and did kind of an all breeds have for sale online on SC and it went really well. And for whatever reason, for a few years after that we kind of went back to just selling them private treaty. And then just with the way it was, we kind of got a different place we were set up to where we could kind of prep a wholesale at one time again and dove back into just offering everything we have on SC on the online sale and haven't looked back since. So this is the fifth annual one and yeah, just excited to kind of talk through them and tell everybody about them.
- [02:46]
A
Absolutely. Yeah. Well, I guess let's kick off with, you know, why did you start with the online side of it? Like why did you go from private treaty to online? I think I know the answer to that and maybe just, you know, why people prefer online. Obviously there's a whole lot more eyes on it rather than private treaty. But I also see the benefits to doing private treaty. But yeah, why ysc and who helps you with all that? Who's your sales rep?
- [03:12]
C
So we had a, when we went from private tree to online, it was because there was, you know, we were kind of had a large group of families that we were working exclusively with selling calves to. And those families were, you know, they would always kind of come in and they would, they would buy the Jaeger heifers that we had. And what ended up happening was nobody else thought that they had a chance to come buy high quality calves for us. And we knew that in order for our, our growth to continue and that we needed to allow anybody that wanted to do business with us a chance to buy our cabs. So then we started to kind of hunt, you know, different sale platforms or different sale avenues to, to do that and landed on SC online sales for this particular sale as like I mentioned in the other, in our other podcast, Bodhi Schliff is our sale consultant for SC or sale rep. Does a phenomenal job of getting through the cattle a couple times in the fall and helping kind of run the platform and answer calls. We also put Innovation Ag on staff for this sale as well. We have a couple live auction sales with them throughout, later in, later in the, in the year. So Graham Blake, Jared Shipman and Tim Anderson also you know, our contacts and consultants for the sale as well. And it's interesting because when we do an online sale we still involve the guys from Innovation and then when we do a live auction sale, we still post them view only on SC as well. So we've kind of Found that a combination of both suits us really well for marketing them.
- [04:49]
B
Oh yeah. I think it's pretty sweet. I think that works really well. So I don't know. Weston, if you're ready, do you want to start jumping into some of the lots? Because I think I'm. Yeah, I'm ready to start talking about some of these because for sure, as I'm looking at it right now, I see the first five lots are out of that pretty special any Luke cow that y' all got, so.
- [05:05]
A
And you talked about it. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- [05:09]
C
So lots one through four are out of the 9,271 cow cruisies. So that's Terry Cruzy and Leo Cruzy own that cow. They purchased her from Plum Creek Angus. He's a casino. Back on the 4472 Angus cow. That's a full sib to paradox and some of those other well known, well known genetics. This cow has done a phenomenal job for the Kruzy family. And we've been lucky enough to kind of market the females out of that cow here for the last really since we started this sale. Probably the most well known one was two years ago in our fall of 2023 sale. Sloan Curtin bought a Dignity 9271 that went on to be reserve overall the Iowa Beef Expo. She was reserve at the national Junior Angus Heifer show and then she won the Kansas City Junior Show. So that's probably the, the most notable 9271 daughter that we've been a part of. But with that being said, there's been, you know, lots of them that have gone out there and, and it. That cow just is as consistent as they come. It doesn't matter what bull they flush her to or what they put on the ground. I mean she doesn't miss. So the first, the first two lots are out of the new New Heights bull that Udell sold on embryos on snow. And then there is a 24 karat or then two 24 karat heifers. So those are the first four. They're all a little bit different. The new heights in lot one, she's kind of the densest, densest muscle, biggest bone, freakiest built one. Lot two is, is a little bit more of a. She kind of rides the line of having maybe a little bit more typical Angus as far as like being a little smoother, being a little longer in her muscle pattern, but still kind of has the extra, extra size of her back that her sister in lot one does. When you get into three and four into 24 carats. Personally, I'm really high on lot three. I think that's one that, you know, for a 24 carrots got a little extra looseness to her hock, a little extra skeletal width. And some of those other cattle have of that sire group. And then the Lot 4 is kind of the green youthful one that is really thick haired, has a sweet look and maybe just needs just a shade more time and feed to kind of bulk up like her older sisters.
- [07:36]
A
Awesome.
- [07:36]
C
Awesome. Lot five, while we're kind of on that same cow family is, is a fun one for me because she's out of Cruz's follow me son, but then back out of a Dignity 9271 daughter. So the interesting story about, about this heifer is her mom was a flush mate to Sloan curtains heifer. So it's fun to see that not only can these of the 9271 cow go and perform in a show ring for exhibitors, but they can work in production as well. So this is the first one that we've gotten to market, you know, out of a 9271 daughter. So excited about that.
- [08:13]
A
She looks like watching her video right now, just like loose, loose built, really cool looking.
- [08:19]
C
Yes. Awesome that that cow can make feet and legs and angles, you know, unlike most of them in the angst breed.
- [08:27]
B
Yeah, it looks pretty, pretty soft.
- [08:31]
C
Yes, absolutely.
- [08:33]
A
You got, you got a couple Queen Ruth's in there, I see. And they look really intriguing too. Kind of like really some dense burly ones. And I know burly's not a heifer word, but like, you know, for sure I'm saying.
- [08:44]
C
Yeah. So the, the Queen ruth we call 9088 Becky is her, is her bar name and you know, kind of the same thing. She's put Angus heifers in our sale ever since we've been having them. We purchased Becky with the Lashman family out of the Udell sale quite a few years ago. It kind of just hit the ground running. Her first, her first ET Cavs sold in the sale. And we've had some, you know, every year out of her another one. Just like a lot of those casino daughters can breed a little extra substance, a little extra power that I think the, the show ring demands in today's world, but also is, you know, kind of intricate and making them generators, you know, for their, their new owners when they go home.
- [09:27]
B
Like it's kind of scrolling through the lot of these. Seems like a lot of the Angus you have in the sale kind of seem to come with a little shop more punch and power than kind of what a lot of them seem to be known for.
- [09:37]
C
Yeah, we've been trying to. To dense them up. I mean and I think that's in every breed but espec. But especially the Angus I don't think. You know, when I was in college people we always kind of joke about it. I used to like them, you know, pretty flat and refined and. And now it's like can we get a little extra bone? Can we get a little extra power and substance and. And definitely trying to push the. Push the envelope and how much we can, you know, pack into them without losing their structural integrity or other balance look.
- [10:05]
A
So yeah, in. In lot nine. So she's a 24 karat, I guess 855. That's a blackbird. And you say in her comments she has the credentials to essentially bred in the purple. So kind of explain that what you mean on that for me.
- [10:19]
C
So. So her she's a full sister to another one. So that Sloan Curtain would have actually shown the year before that that ended up reserve at the beef expo as well and had a really, really successful show career. So she's a full sister. Another one that we've had that's kind of went out and. And been nationally competitive. So it just is kind of fun that we've, you know, for the most part these heifers are all either out of a cow that we're very familiar with or full sisters or something that's gone out and proven herself already kind of taken some of the. Some of the guesswork out of it.
- [10:56]
B
That's what it seems like these next couple, I guess 10 through 12, it would be out of that. Cruella 21.
- [11:04]
C
Yeah. So Cruella is a cow that we purchased actually with Ethan Wedeking from Jared Warning and she's kind of a little bit of a neat bread cow. She's a no limit back on a double black missy. So just a shade more of a, you know, not as show trendy genetics. And then started kind of flushing her and really excited about what she's been able to do. We bought that cow because of some of those extra dense parts that I just talked about. She was one of just kind of some extra. She's pulled apart, had some extra width. Austin Foss actually showed her for us and. And she won her division in Louisville as a big bread. Won the Minnesota Beef Expo and just kind of getting her. Getting her rolling. We last year sold a all Me a main Angus daughter out of her that sold well and went on to be successful. And then this is kind of the first go we've had at getting some really nice Angus out of her.
- [12:03]
A
Yeah.
- [12:04]
C
Awesome. I mean you can see from their pictures and videos, I mean, watch them, they're flexible. Yeah, I really, I really like the rib cage on these heifers. They have a soft maternal sweep from the side, but you get in behind them. They have some extra width and actually have some back shape.
- [12:19]
B
So almost like they read a little more like on the main side. I mean, they're pubert Angus and they still almost like, almost look like they're more of a mane, but Absolutely. I dig it. Awesome.
- [12:29]
C
Absolutely.
- [12:30]
A
Yeah. And then 13 or 13 and 14 are a little different, especially in terms of their mates ratings. But they, yeah, read really, really like they're two different types and kinds from down here, but they both read Elite.
- [12:42]
C
So 13 is kind of a fun one as well. So she was raised by the Buyer family in Wisconsin and we have our bull sale in partnership with them. So her Sire, the 24 Karat or 24 Karat, 29K is a 24 Karat out of a donor cat we own with them called Mocha. And that was. That bull is a full. Is a full brother to the heifer that Tucker Byer would have shown this year that won the Atlantic national supreme female. So just kind of fun that that's a. That heifer is out of a bull that's sold in our bull sale to Buck Creek there in Oklahoma. And then buyers went back use that bull and raises heifer. So kind of kind of fun that some of the genetics that we sell in the bull sale now we're getting to, getting to kind of use back in our herds and watching those cows kind of work from both sides.
- [13:35]
A
So. Awesome.
- [13:36]
B
That's pretty awesome.
- [13:38]
A
Yeah.
- [13:38]
B
So now I guess kind of as we start to transition into the Charolais side, I know there ain't, there ain't but two of them, but to me they read pretty high quality if I say so myself.
- [13:47]
C
Absolutely. So the, the lot 15 is another one. This heifer was raised by the Talac family and we got to, you know, we're fortunate enough to work with the Talac family through, you know, the majority of of those girls show careers. And this one's mom, we called her, we called her Cali and their bar name was Claire. But she won the Charlay Jr. Heifer show for Jenna and then she was also a champion junior Charolay. In Kansas City, Reserve Junior Charolay in Louisville and then she won the junior Charolay show in Denver. So her. Her mom was extremely successful. Yeah, it was. She was the best charolais that we ever raised here. And then this is out of the first flush of that cow to the elevate bull that's kind of been taken the. The charolais reed by storm this fall. So extremely excited about her. Has as nice of a look from the side as you can make a charolay with having as much kind of extra power and shape that she has. And then the Lot 16 is a heifer that I actually got sent to us from Tim Schaefer. I took a trip out there on my way to Maine's and Kiji Internationals this summer and went through all of his heifers and. And kind of made a short list to see if he'd send me something. And this Charlotte heifer's at the top of my list and. And was fortunate enough that he sent her to me. Didn't know if I would get her, but did kind of the same thing. Just really loose made in her structure has some extra bone and still has a high quality look from the profile for sure.
- [15:21]
A
Yeah. And she's out of that Boyerts outlier bull. I think that bull is just so unique and cool. He's accomplished so much in his lifetime.
- [15:31]
C
In like makes him so soft haired. For Charlize like you know, like sometimes blowing on. Yeah, sometimes blowing on Charlize is not the most fun thing in the world. It kind of can have like a coarse, wiry hair, but not the outliers. There's this. There's a soft and nice.
- [15:46]
A
Yeah. And then lot 17 is next. But what's interesting is she's out of your own bull. All me. And then from the dame side looks like that cow is probably yours. That alley cow. You can correct me if I'm wrong.
- [15:59]
C
Yeah. So she. The cow actually is owned by the Stutzman brothers down from Hills, Iowa. And I was. Went to school with the Stutzman boys. So Tyler's a year older than me, Tanner's a year younger than me. They both went to Blackhawk like I did and then went to Iowa State as well. So I've known those guys for. Since I was in 4H show and cattle. And they bought this alley cow and she's an ollie rowdy is what she is. And bred her back or flushed her back to our all meeple. And the. The cool part about this heifer to me is she is a high mained and also a high percent key. So she's above, she's above six and a quarter key. I think she's like seven something key or maybe even, I think she's even 10% key. And then also a three quarter high main. So you can show her as a high main of junior nationals, turn around, run her right back in the high key show. And I think that's all really neat. Also, I think this one kind of has a, as a side hustle as being a future steer donor. She's got big, stout legs.
- [17:03]
A
Really?
- [17:05]
C
Yes, and in red. So I think it's just neat that she could raise some, you know, some southern red steers and then you can still kind of show her two different ways. So when I, Tyler was telling me that he thought he raised one that we needed to take and sell, told me what she was and I was excited. Then when I got to see her and saw that she was cherry red, big boned and hairy, I was like, yep, she's going on the trailer for sure.
- [17:29]
B
That thing's unique. That thing is like choke necked, huge footed and still like soft bodied. And pretty good footage for what it seems like.
- [17:38]
C
Oh, absolutely. She's got, she's got great feet and legs on her for sure.
- [17:43]
A
Well, and then lot 18 is next and it's a Lim flex, but it's the only one. So yeah, I obviously like pretty unique.
- [17:52]
C
Yes, sir. So I just, I kind of like telling the story about some of these cows. I mean, as I get to travel around the countryside and, and see different stuff or meet different people, acquire cows, they kind of all have a little bit of a story to me. So her, her mom. So Tyler Stutzman that I just talked about in the last lot, him and I, we judged the Oregon State, Oregon State Fair a couple years ago together. And we flew out there and it was a blast. We would judge cattle during the day and then we would drive the coast and just founder on seafood at night. Well, anyway, I forget what breed I was judging. And there was this family that just kept bringing in nice stock and good stock. And after the limousine show, I kind of got to meet him at the backdrop. And it's the Berry family from the state of Washington and kind of stayed in contact with them. And they sent me a, a picture of a, of a heifer about two months later and I thought it looked really good. Ended up buying this heifer sight unseen, shipped her all the way out here. And it's this heifer's mother so this is the first, kind of the first, you know, limit limousine bred calf that we got out of her and really nice one. That cow's done a great job and just limited reps. Was pumped about that cow's flexibility and skeleton.
- [19:12]
A
Yeah.
- [19:13]
C
And kind of transmitted that onto her calf.
- [19:15]
B
She definitely looks like she has potential to be like a good show heifer, but a phenomenal cow is kind of what I'm reading.
- [19:21]
C
Yeah. And it kind of has the longevity to make a really good big bread. I think. I think one that could make an awesome, awesome show here for. I mean, when she on down the road had like a big bread heifer show.
- [19:32]
A
Awesome.
- [19:33]
B
I think these next ones as we start to get into the. The main. I'm just kind of scrolling through you. These things look. Look crazy good.
- [19:41]
C
Yes. So lots of diversity in the mains. We first kind of got our start in the mains. I was going to say it was the gateway drug for me. The main Angio cattle. I felt like that was a breed that you could go out. When I was just getting started. You could kind of go out and buy a cheap scratch and dent wild heifer and. And go and compete in the mains. So we kind of grew our cow base in Maine's. And then like I talked in our previous episode, my wife was like scimitar. So she kind of tricked me into the scimitals. And then we kind of got some Angus and almost kind of veered away from the mains for a few years and then realized, hey, that's a breed that's got a lot of popularity. We need to stay hooked up. So kind of got back in. So these first few lots are actually out of some really young kind of up and coming donors that we've kind of been reintroduced back into mains a little bit. This lot 19 that we lead off the mains with is out of a Garth daughter that we own with Kevin Smalley. And. And she was shown by his nephew Braden Smalley. And this is her first. First and only ET Heifer that we had this year. We'll hopefully have. Hopefully have a little bit more of them next year because if they can look like this, we'd. We'd take as many of them as we could, as many of them as we could get. That that cow was a creature or still is a creature. But what she was showing probably pushed the limits of is long and good looking as you can make one's front end with enough muscle and power to. I mean she could have shown as a market heifer and almost got called too much most times she showed. So when we saw Rosebud's apex bull but kind of knew that was a mating we need to take that cow to. He's a 38 main Angus. So the way the, the way the main Angie world works is you can, you can round up. So a 38 on a purebred gets you a 3 quarter blood high main. And that bull was a little, little flatter, a little more toned down in his muscle and really soft. And it clicked really, really well on her.
- [21:46]
B
Absolutely.
- [21:47]
A
Or that, that lot 20 looks intriguing.
- [21:50]
C
Like holy smokes. Yes. So. So she's all me back on our 9116 donor, which is a Doctor who Lexi. We've been selling and kind of involved in marketing the Lexi offspring for Troy and Landon Kane for once again. I mean probably the last 10 years it seems like or since we've been selling, selling cattle. And this one's mother was one that was always had a little bit of an extreme look to her and we never really got anybody to. It was in the time period when we were private treaty and nobody ever wanted to take a chance on her. So that year when we were kind of finishing up selling, I just told Troy like, hey, I think I believe in her. I like her. We're going to, I'm going to, I'm going to keep her and bought her from him. It was the last year that we're doing the private treaty and we kind of just got into flushing her here a couple years ago. So this heifer is a full, a full sister to the red and white high main bull we promote with Phil Hallbeck called Devil. You know. So this is kind of the first, the first all me. Yeah. And the cool part about this heifer is she's a high main heifer, low key. And she also, I tell people like this one, this one could raise steers, no doubt. And, and she's. She's triple clean. So her mom, her mom tested triple clean and all me is so clean and ready to go. Yeah. Ready to go out and show. And then, you know, could be bred Maine. She could be bred Angus. She could be bred. I mean club calf. Any way you could possibly think this one I think could do it.
- [23:23]
A
That gets me a little excited, not gonna lie.
- [23:26]
B
What would you go on her? Because I feel like out of the mains you have in here, she's probably the most unique in terms of some of her pieces might be one of the harder, harder ones to breed around. So what, what would be your preference.
- [23:36]
C
On her, you know, I think. Well, I mean, I, I don't know why after kind of what, what. How it worked on Lot 19, I don't know if why not take her back and you know, do her apex and make some main influence stuff. That stout and robust as she is, you know, I think definitely taking her Angus to make some mate Angus is worth it. And then, I mean, it sure looks to me like here I am. Steers are still worth a lot of money out there, so probably give that a whirl too. And, and I think diversity is good. So I, I think whoever, whoever buys her, I mean, probably challenge them to, to try a little bit of everything with her.
- [24:12]
A
And so then we got lot 21. I mean, looks like she's really, really good.
- [24:19]
C
So a little bit of a different twist on her. This heifer was raised by, by Braun show cattle. Kevin Braun, been a long time lifetime friend and his. This heifer's mom is actually a maternal sib to the bull all me. So we bought all me's mom from Kevin and then we raised this Reba1G. Kevin bought her back and then we get to kind of sell some heifers out of her. So a little bit of a different twist out of a maternal sib to all me. And then out of the new Walsh on the brink bull that's kind of up and coming in the main world and want to think just a lot of main diversity once she gets done showing as well.
- [24:55]
B
What do you think of that on the brink bull? Because I've seen, I guess I was looking around on a bunch of shows recently. I've been seeing him and I saw like, man, I haven't really seen or heard much of this bull, but I guess he's kind of newer.
- [25:04]
C
I think he's doing a great job for, I mean for, I would say a little bit more limited, you know, reps. He's not like, not like every cow in the country is getting bred to him. So when he does get used, he does. And those Walsh boys that raise this bull, they're doing, they're doing a knockout job up in Wisconsin. They got, they got a nice little group of bulls they're promoting. They had a really, really successful steer sale here a couple weeks ago. So kind of a, kind of a really up and coming program, I'd say to keep an up, keep a lookout on.
- [25:33]
A
Yeah. Then there's lot 22 and I, I saw her picture and I immediately thought of the lot 20. She like resembles her in terms of pieces, for sure. But it looks like both sire and dame are weiss indicative. And that looks. She looks really, really cool, like, way out.
- [25:52]
C
So the cow. The cow this one's out of goes back to our old Lola donor, which would have been the one that kind of. Kind of kicked it off for us. Lola originated from the Wagon Hammer Ranch. I showed her my. My senior year before I went off to college. And we flushed that cab just about every way you could imagine. We made. Made, you know, we made maintainers, we made keys. We made some shows to your cows. We made some shorthorn pluses. Anyway, bred her to Green Valley Eyeball. Green Valley was a kind of a main and Angus operation that raised just some really good beef cattle and. And took Lola to Eyeball and kept back this 14D and has been just kind of a mainstay for us and our mains. What she was there when we. When we started kind of in the mains or got going in the mains. And then when we took our little main hiatus, she still always raised one every year, and then now still kind of doing it. This heifer has some of the same intangibles as 20, I call her. Just a little bit flatter, more maternal in her muscle pattern, maybe not quite as tripped out. A little bit more, you know, kind of like your big show ring breeding catalog.
- [26:58]
B
She reads a little safer.
- [27:00]
C
Yes, exactly right. Exactly right.
- [27:02]
B
Yeah, for sure. Next, you got a lone Bogarth, as you say in the description.
- [27:06]
C
Yep, yep, exactly. This one was raised by Nick Anderson. Nick Anderson's a great friend and helps us out a ton. He's definitely, you know, kind of one of the crew that's People know and see at the shows, helping us and comes up and helps prep these things for the sales. So we were pumped when Nick. Nick raises one, Sent her to us along with a couple we'll. We'll get to here. Down below, she's out of a. A cow, a style striker that was shown in. In purchase from the Udell operation. And that heifer was kind of a little bit flatter, a little softer in her inner center. So Nick took her and flushed her to Garth and. And you can see that bull just kind of tricked him out just in one generation.
- [27:48]
A
You know, longer necked. My lord, her.
- [27:52]
C
Her neck's about as long as her back. You know, I was kind of. Some of our. My hog friends kind of always talked about that, like, oh, we want their necks to be as long as they're back. Well, this. This heifer is very close to that she gets close. Yeah. And then you can kind of go up, go up once again. I mean, you know, maybe mating potential on her. I mean, scroll up once again to Lot 19s, you know, an apex out of a Garth. I've take this one to Garth or all me and lots of main potential there as well.
- [28:22]
B
Absolutely. And looks like the next two would be some of the main Angus.
- [28:26]
C
I think. Yep.
- [28:27]
B
I think some main Angus genetics are probably some of the best. That combines a lot of. A lot of good from both worlds.
- [28:33]
C
Yeah, I, I really feel main Angus cattle are, are some of the most fun animals to breed. You know, it's just interesting because if you take a kind of raw, hunchy main cow and breeder to an Angus bull, you kind of get exactly what you think you would. You know, a version still have some muscle. I think both of these heifers, even though they're both young, loads of quality. Lot 24 came from RJ and plant in South Dakota. And of all the years, kind of when I go out to RJ's and select some heifers to bring back and sell, this was the one that hit me the hardest. We when we go out there and I make my list and text RJ what I what I want to try to get back and sell. This heifer was at the very top and had like three dashes behind her and, and in below it. It was pretty much just a plea to him to please select me to send this calf to me. Even though she was young, I'm a really big fan. She's got huge feet and legs for age and, and a look that I mean you couldn't draw on any nicer from the side. So this one's only going to get better with time. She's out of the new up and coming hits, different bull that Telax raised and RJ purchased and an EOS that's an all me son.
- [29:59]
A
Awesome lot.
- [30:01]
C
Lot 25. Kind of another success story from our bull sale. This one's raised by Ty Webster, our good friend. He was actually my. My roommate at Blackhawk. Him and I shared a. Him and I shared a room about the size of a large closet together at the Country North House of North of Kewani. Anyway, he purchased a money earned out of our casino Queen Ruth, the Becky cow that we talked about earlier in our bull sale and bred this end game 899 daughter to that bull and made this heifer. So this is kind of another fun one for us. It's fun to see those bulls in our bull Sale going to work for their new owners. And then we get to kind of select a few them heifers and sell them in our heifer sale. So two really good main Angus, you know, a little bit different. The, the 24 is a little cooler about her head and her neck. 25s maybe got just a little extra punch. Both of those ones I think can. Can compete at a national stage, no doubt.
- [30:59]
A
Awesome. And then now we got the maintainers and they're just different creatures. Like there's different types and kinds in here and there's even a red one that I really like. But they all just read different their type and kind and just awesome, man. I guess we just gotta start with lot 26. Looks and reads to be extremely, extremely dense and stout.
- [31:21]
C
Yes. One thing that I've kind of always tried to do for our sale is, is have some diversity. So not only do I want different breeds, but within those breeds I want to have them all look a little different. So if a family, no matter what kind of cattle you like, I hope we have at least bare minimum of one that you can kind of get hooked up on. So starting with lot 26, another one that we got from RJ out in South Dakota, she's a. Hits different back on his Lady Killer donor. Lady Killer we got her listed is by her registered name is a broker Harrietta. So the Lady Killers, I mean the Lady Killers have been dominant for rj. We sold one a couple years ago a new limit to the Hartman family that went on to win the key. The key composite Junior National. So it's fun for us to have a Lady Killer killer back on the ranch. This one is, is a, is a beast. She is, she is going to be one of those cows someday that is not going to fit through the chute like there's no chance. So she's pulled apart, has some extra skeletal width but is still, you know, long level, hipped, smooth and long in her muscle. Even though she's got some extra skeletal width, it lays onto her right and has a big set of feet and legs that can go forever. So that one not only could show super competitively, but is very dual purpose as well.
- [32:47]
A
Yeah.
- [32:49]
C
27 as we get into her. She was raised by Austin Foss. Austin has worked for us. He started working for us the summer of his in between eighth grade and freshman year before he was technically even legal to drive to our house. He came, came and started working for us and, and started full time with us after graduating here in May. And so he raised this One this is out of a cow that we bought in Austin showed from Udell's once again. And she's that cows out of a style Red Thunder bull that Udell's ran and then out of our. This heifer's out of our all me bull. Yeah, she's another kind of fun one. She's a maintainer, 50 maintainer and a high percent key. So she's 7% key and a 50. Another one that I think you know not only shows extremely well, but good raise a steer as well. She's got a little extra. Little extra substance too.
- [33:45]
B
I like how you mentioned there the the biggest hair, best set of ears in the sale.
- [33:49]
A
Like yeah.
- [33:50]
B
Video her ears and headset and the way everything like sets up a pie is.
- [33:54]
C
Yeah, it's. She, she. She is an impressive beast.
- [34:01]
B
That's what seems like the rest of the beauty. 28, 29 and 30.
- [34:04]
C
Yep.
- [34:04]
B
They said we're all. Are all or all all me daughters. Yeah, all on different cows.
- [34:09]
C
Yep. A little different on so 28 is raised by the Wilkins family. She is out of the the heifer that Brenna and her family selected a couple years ago that was raised by Fairside and we talked about him a little bit in the the prior podcast. So she purchased this heifer's mom for 67.5 out of a sale from us a couple years ago. She was third overall Junior Nationals, third overall at our state fair after winning the Maintainers. She was reserve maintainer in Louisville and she won the Maintainers in Oklahoma City. So took a 6750 heifer and kind of lit the Maintainer on fire that year. This is the first ET out of that. That heifer that we call. They call Natalie or Nat and pumped to have this one. She's kind of just a denser boned, a hairier version of her mother. Like her mother just a little later maturing. I think if someone's patient with this one, this one has just tremendous upside as well. Moving to the red one, lot 29 she was. This was another one that's raised by Nick Anderson that kind of mentioned the Garth up above. Helps us a lot. She's a paradox Lex. Or the cow's a paradox Lexi. So the dam of this one, Kane's Lily, is actually a maternal sib to Lot 20, the punchy black and white one's mom. So they kind of all go back to that Lexi daughter. And as we get into Lot 30 here, you can see that's out of Kane's good business. Lexi. So A lot of Lexi influence here, especially in the. The mains and maintainers. A little. Little bit of differences, even though they're both omis and both out of Lexi daughters. I think the 29, the red heifer, maybe just a little bit more maternal in her muscle, maybe a little bit more refined. You get into 30, and she has. For her age, 30 wins. She wins the big pipe award. I mean, she has got the biggest legs and feet of anything for her age in the sale, and she knows. She knows how to use them. She's a flexible, cool, built animal.
- [36:15]
A
Tight throat.
- [36:16]
B
She still reads fairly soft and like, with. Still maternal. Everybody like it. It's not like, tucked up and hard like some of them can get.
- [36:22]
C
No, not at all. Not at all. It's. It's a good creature that's once again a little younger, but only gonna get better with time.
- [36:28]
B
So I think while we're still on the mains, as we just kind of covered a lot of these all me daughters, what do you think he kind of. Kind of can bring to the. To the breed itself? Because it seems like he's been doing a lot for y' all and for everybody else.
- [36:38]
C
Honestly, I thought when he was a yearling bull, the thing that he did that I hadn't seen in a main bull yet kind of made us confident in keeping him a bull and, you know, trying to. We sold part of him to Phil hall back and then also Blind Badger Ranch. And I think what made him unique was his looseness of skeleton, that bull's angle to his shoulder, the way he set back in his knee, and the way he was flexible in his spine. He was able to just kind of maintain a presence that I hadn't seen yet in Maine cattle. I mean, those cattle hardly ever put their head below their shoulder. They're just built. Build allows them to just remain so collected on the go. And then his almi's mom had one of the coolest hind legs of any animal I've ever seen yet to date. And it's just kind of fun that he stamps them with that same hind leg.
- [37:32]
A
For sure. Yeah. Well, now we got the. The shorthorn and the shorthorn plus. And from what it looks like, just seeing their picture, pretty similar in terms of, like, body type and. And foot size. But I mean, I could be wrong, but man, one's roan, one's kind of painted up. I think they're both really, really neat.
- [37:53]
C
Yeah. Starting to kind of. I guess you can kind of profile me pretty good by this point in the sale. Just knowing I kind of like them with the, with the structural build where they can have that look from the side and get out and travel. Lot 31. Raised by the Berg family that lives just south of us here in Osage. Their daughter, Caitlin Berg started working here a couple years ago on weekends and nights after high school. And it's kind of been just a huge, huge asset to us and helping prep these sale cattle and just getting to know her family. Went there to look for a shore and heifer for the sale this year and found this, this little. Find out and knew enough about the wild cherry cow and saw the heifer's pieces and thought, yep, that's definitely one that we need to. Need to put on the team. This heifer actually was shown by the Berg family at the Iowa State Fair open show horn show and she won the calf calf division. So this one is, I mean broke, ready to go to a show. Already hung a banner. I mean the youngest and most inexperienced showman could take her to a show in the next week.
- [38:53]
B
So she looks pretty, pretty different for a shorthorn. Like very like dense, big footed and very like gunner angles.
- [39:00]
A
Like.
- [39:01]
C
Yeah. When I was in college, kind of helping. I worked for CYT some and at that point in time, show horns did not look like this. At that time they were kind of tall. Yeah.
- [39:13]
A
Even with that like feet, legs, angles, all that.
- [39:17]
C
Yeah. I think the fun part about show horns like her is, you know, any shorehorn breeder can take one like this and just pull a random straw of semen out of their tank. That's probably big and flat and pretty and be able to make this one. And it was with ease.
- [39:31]
A
Awesome. Yeah.
- [39:32]
B
I think as we start to get into what. Yes, I'm listening.
- [39:35]
A
Yeah. The painted heifer. Perfection. And that bull's been really hot here lately.
- [39:40]
C
Yeah. I think where this one could, could do some damage is for being a showhorn plus so many of the pluses anymore kind of emulate what we just talked about, what the show horns used to be. I mean they're kind of flat, they're kind of refined, they lack some muscle. This one's got some skeletal within some bit and some bone, but still has that maternal rib cage that they kind of have to have anymore. So there's a really, it's a really high quality showroom plus thing can do a lot of damage.
- [40:06]
B
Yeah, no doubt. So now that as we start to get into what I'd say might be my favorite part is the semi. That's what we got back home. But I see.
- [40:13]
C
Yes, sir.
- [40:14]
B
Be 33, 34, 5, 6, 6, 7.
- [40:19]
C
They're all.
- [40:19]
A
All of that. Nine.
- [40:21]
B
A lot of Victoria.
- [40:23]
C
So let's go. Let's do 33 through 37.
- [40:27]
A
Okay.
- [40:28]
C
So there's a. There's a lot of Victoria influence in the sale, but 33 through 37 are all out of 6H. So the Ms. Victoria 6H is a donor that we own with the Lashman family in Illinois. Millie Lashmond showed 6h and was very successful. She was top 10 in Junior Nationals reserve overall at the Illinois Beef Expo. Got a piece of our division in Louisville as well and has kind of hit the ground running as a donor for us. And Lashmitz just has kind of once again, like some of the cows we talked up above in the Angus has really worked to just about anything. So 3 and 4 are trust funds, which is the bankroll sun that RJ sold on EOS there a couple years ago to the Cowan family in Wisconsin. This mating produced one of our high sellers last year that was selected by the Pryor family and went on to be still showing this fall, but has been extremely successful for Carver, Pryor, and for a scimitall like lot 33. I mean, it's hard to make a bigger, more functional hind leg than she's got.
- [41:41]
A
Kidding.
- [41:42]
C
That one just needs. I mean, she's an older heifer that's got tons of power and Mass. 34 is kind of the younger, greener sister. But you can see, I mean, just even the markings on their face and kind of how the black goes around their eyes. Like, there's a lot of similarities in those two.
- [41:57]
A
Yeah, for sure.
- [42:00]
C
Go ahead.
- [42:00]
B
So they almost read a shot, like almost kind of clubbed on the clubbier side.
- [42:04]
C
They do. Yeah. That trust fund can definitely put some extra bone and hair and punch into them and. And it clicks really well on 6H. And those. Those two definitely have some extra substance where they could. Like you said they could. I. I really, truly think 33 could raise semetal show steers like no. Tomorrow.
- [42:21]
B
Absolutely.
- [42:22]
A
Yeah, for sure.
- [42:24]
C
35. 35 is kind of my. One of my sleeper picks for the Scimitl division. This is a full sister to a heifer that we sold on the sale in December that we had with with Nick Fitzsimmons to the Tomy family last year that went on and has been shown really successful for Brandon Tomy. She actually was reserve overall at the mile show, which is kind of the. The Minnesota Youth Livestock Expo that they have in the summer. Kind of one of the biggest Minnesota shows she was reserve overall there. And this one here is maybe even just a little neater headed, little sleeker necked version of her sister from a year ago. I think got a, a really bright future. 36 is the only one one of our, our kind of herd sires here in house. This is not one raised by the Lashman family and just kind of fun to see donor cowie on part of out of one of our bulls we own. Just kind of doing a good job. I. I think that mark in her flank kind of sets her off. You know she's.
- [43:23]
B
I like her.
- [43:24]
A
Yeah.
- [43:25]
C
I can get her head just way up high for a scimitar get out and motor. And then kind of has some extra power too. 37 is the, the first time we've ever done 6H to make a percentage heifer and just figured heck, dignity makes awesome Angus. Let's try it on. Let's try it on on 6H. Make some percentage for a young heifer. This one has just a tremendous amount of body and sweep the lower part of a rib cage and and still has kind of a show heifer look. That one just kind of has like bird cow written all over.
- [43:55]
A
Yeah. Yeah for sure. And then 38 so she's different in terms of the dame side but it looks like she's still a Miss Victoria. So explain that to me. And maybe she's got a little snippet nose but like the white. I think that's cool. I think like blaze faces with a little snippet over their nose. I think they just read super, super cool like just facing you. I don't know what it is about it.
- [44:18]
C
This one's my. This is my girl right here. This is, this is, this is the one right here that kind of just when you get up in the morning you go and make sure she's doing okay. So her mom 219k, we we kind of nicknamed her Raya for Princess Ryo. You know, got a six year old and a three year old. So my wife and I, we get used to the Disney movies and the Disney princesses. So this one's named after Princess Raya and or the cow is. And her mom we purchased for just a breeding piece and kind of one for our daughter Dallas. Oldest daughter Dallas just to kind of call hers and kind of be just a barn friend for a couple years ago. This is her first flush here. And when these heifers rolled off of the trailer from the ET Co up, this like late summer is right before our state fair Carson Rogers that works for us and Austin Foss. We kind of all like looked at each other and everyone kind of like holy smokes.
- [45:16]
A
Yeah.
- [45:16]
C
And, and the kind of the going saying was after she stepped off, it's like I don't really care what gets done today. This effort gets checked twice. Yeah. Like she gets checked twice. So Raya is a maternal SIB the 6H. So back to the same original Victoria calf. We chose to go with the kind of new up and coming bull coping with Destiny, which is a copacetic sun. We've had great luck with the bull copacetic. Decided to kind of just use the upgraded version of Cocoa Destiny and, and really excited about this one. Like can't really say enough good about her. I'm not sure we've ever kind of we've ever made a scimitar is sleek and attractive in her front one third without giving anything up. All the still all the shape and muscle you could ever want flexibility but just really, really unique about her head, chest and neck.
- [46:09]
A
Awesome. Yeah.
- [46:11]
C
So then kind of after. Sorry kind of after just going. Going kind of crazy on her. The cool part about 39. 39 is a full sib to 38's mother. So a direct. A remedy out of the the original Victoria. So kind of just fun that 38 is out of a maternal sib to 6H which you know, has the first five lots on the sale.
- [46:36]
A
Yeah.
- [46:37]
C
And then 30 knot 39 if someone likes 38 by 39. And then you just know exactly the cheat code for your cocoa Destiny and make yourself 38. So I think that what makes 39 really good except besides her pedigree is she's just so functional. Flexibility off both ends just transitions so good from her shoulder into a rib cage. Her rib cage into her. Her hip and stifle. Even though maybe she's got just a freckle of throat under her jawline compared to maybe some of the, you know, the Vickies that are a generation farther. You can just tell that one's going to make a donor cow for somebody on down the road. Yeah.
- [47:22]
B
And I know like you mentioned, she even has a little extra throat. Almost, almost like it, like, almost like.
- [47:26]
A
It looks on her.
- [47:27]
C
Like for sure.
- [47:28]
B
Like if you always have one with a little nick bit of throat and you kind of find they feed a lot, a whole lot better.
- [47:32]
C
Oh, and the scimitals, they grow into it. Yeah. I think, I think, I think one thing you can just pretty much count on on a semitol female is they're Going to grow into their throw latch and they're going to get bigger bone with age.
- [47:42]
B
Yeah, that's fair.
- [47:45]
C
The next cow family we're going to kind of work into is 40 and 41 are out of a cow we call Lily or 35J. She was shown by Cult Raider from Illinois in the Raider family. She was selected from our sale four years ago. We kind of just started here kind of getting some a little bit more aggressive and putting some more of these ETS on the ground out of her. That. That female was top five at junior nationals for Colt and then she won the Oklahoma City Scimitar show as well.
- [48:15]
A
Okay.
- [48:16]
C
So 40 and 41 are remedies out of her. I'm stubborn but I still like remedy cattle about as good as anything they are. They. They don't know if there's a bull that makes them better from their shoulders back. 40 and 41. The differences between them an age division 40s in April. 41's a May. 40's got a little bit more shape from her shoulder back. 41's a little cooler headed and necked. Knowing how that cow fed and like we just talked about with their growing into their throat. These two are. Are going to be a lot of fun on down the road.
- [48:49]
A
Yeah.
- [48:49]
B
And that's what even. Even for flush mates they look pretty different like oh yeah.
- [48:54]
A
Opposites. Yeah, for sure. Yeah.
- [48:58]
C
40, 42 is out of them. So that that cow that she's out of, the Ms. Rudy 401K is a full sister to Lily. So the. The 40 and 41's mom is a flush mate to 42's mom. Took. Took that cat of trust fund. She's a little bigger scaled, really flexible. Kind of hit on one of those heifers up above. I think it was the limb flex. I think 42 where she fits really good is making a really competitive bread heifer for someone that's maybe especially if like you know, down in your guys's parts, someone that's maybe going to show at a, you know, a Texas major heifer show trying to win a scholarship or some of those Southern Southern states when they have kind of some late spring shows or you need a late mature in one. Her build is ideal for something like that.
- [49:45]
B
Yeah.
- [49:45]
C
Yep.
- [49:46]
A
Awesome. Yeah. And then you got a really neat 1 in 43 and she's out of that Lexi cow. And there's another Lexi heifer in here somewhere. I and when we talked about her too.
- [49:58]
C
So yeah, this is a same. The same goes back to the same Lexi Calf family. As we talked about, you know, on a lot of those in the mains, we chose to take 888 to only one or two kind of semitol herd bull and make a percentage semitol out of that cow. Aided H's claim to fame or so far is she. She raised an all me heifer that Hudson Cromwell showed a couple years ago that made top five at junior nationals and won a bunch of the main shows in Texas. So 888's done a great job as well. It goes back to the same Lexi cow that some of the mains did up above.
- [50:37]
B
That's what it seems like.
- [50:38]
A
The.
- [50:38]
B
These next 240 and 45 are out of the another cow family. It seems like.
- [50:43]
C
Yeah. So 7052 is a cow owned by Tree Lane Farms. And it is. Is their. Their lead Scimitol donor. And these are both heifers that were raised by people that we source calves from each year. So top 144 was raised by the egg family of Northwest Minnesota. Garner and his family, they've. They've always been open to sending us some really high quality stock in the past. We actually sold a red Angus effort from them a couple years ago that the Hartman family bought and exhibited really successfully. And then 45 was raised by Peyton Vogel from Hartley, Iowa. And Peyton's a guy that has helped us out a lot as well on fitting at shows and just kind of become a lifelong friend as well. So both of those have heifers are result of those guys purchasing embryos from Tree Lane and raising them. 70 52. It's. It's. It's fun because that's like I said, Treelane's kind of main donor and I can't ever afford to go there and buy a 7052. So it was kind of nice. These guys bought some embryos, calved them out and then we were able to take these two heifers and sell them. Yeah, that cow makes some really unique about their head and neck. Still has some kind of foot and bone. I think both of these heifers are. Are just kind of getting started of what they can turn into.
- [52:04]
A
Awesome. Well. And then you got 46 and she's different dame bull that I've never heard of actually. And again, I'm not in the purebred stuff, but like.
- [52:16]
C
No, that's okay.
- [52:17]
A
Really cool looking. Like really, really cool looking.
- [52:20]
C
46 and 47 are both living the dreams. This would be the first. The first calf crop of living the dream. He was a Bull that Wayne and Barbell Rick sold in Nebraska on their bull on their bull sale. He's a copacetic son. So he's a percentage bull and I think everybody's going to be using him in their future breeding plans after kind of seeing I mean these heifers have been selling in burning out kind of everywhere. I know Boyer Core just sold one really well here a couple days ago. 46 is out of our Sarabi donor. That's a one of our kind of lead percentage cows that we chose to go to live in the dream with make a 5, 8 semitol. She's one of my favorite percentage semitols on the sale. 47 is another one that we got from RJ out in South Dakota and she's out of a bankroll or broker bankroll I have for that Oakland plant would have shown. So those are two really unique percentage simitels out of the new living the dream.
- [53:24]
A
Awesome. F47's head shape is really cool.
- [53:27]
C
She, she is a unique animal and is really really punchy and stout. Another one, I mean of the semitol division she's one that no doubt could, could make a show steer as well.
- [53:42]
A
Awesome. Awesome.
- [53:43]
B
That's what seems like these next two 48 and 49 seem a little bit more kind of on the. On the cow your take home home.
- [53:48]
C
And yes something with yes, no doubt about that. I 48 out of a cow that we we call Sweetie around here. She was actually shown by Ryan Rathman's family down in Texas. Sweetie was the donor cow of 48. Was raised by the egg family. They just talked about up above a little bit in the 7052 matings. This one is is great from her shoulder back and anybody that I think is kind of shown Semitol cattle for a long time or been around them. This is one of those heifers that looks completely different on a halter. She is so tame and she's got a little extra that throat underneath her throat latch that when you like see her out in the pen it's like oh she kind of just mopes around. She's sound and big bodied and hairy but it's like oh she's a little bit plain. And then you put her on a halter and she gets her neck up and it's like game on. So a really good animal. Just bulletproof like easy feeding, easy moving. Just one that's going to get better every day of her life. 49 came from the Buyer family in Wisconsin in in like you said like she's, she's a cow piece. Huge, huge, centered, just really maternal in how you look at her from every angle. Just kind of screams brood cow. That's a three quarter blood cement to have her. That where I see tremendous value in her is take her home and when you're done with their breeder to a purebred bull and make a 78 purebred with that kind of body shape for sure.
- [55:20]
A
Yeah. Completely agree. And then you got in 50 who y' all call babe. That's kind of funny. Total opposite. Just like really, really neat, refined, cool looking.

So I mean once again going to stay in the trend of just kind of cow story time lot. Lot 50 is the first calf out of effort we bought for our oldest daughter Dallas a year ago from Terry Cruzy. So this cruisey's anti loop babe is a 9271 daughter. So this heifer's mom is a maternal sib to the the first four lots of the sale. This, this heifer's mom was a bottle calf Terry. She was a twin. Terry pulled her off of the recip cow, bottle fed her. She was so stinking tame but really, really, really nice. And it was a perfect heifer for us to get for our daughter. Just kind of play around with in the barn. And we bred her to our unmatchable for first calf and, and got lot 50 and we're ecstatic of what that cow's future looks like after this. Doing this in her first calf.
- [56:25]
A
That unmatched bull, I guess I hadn't heard of him. I heard of obviously your other ones but the unmatched I haven't and to.
- [56:32]
C
Be honest with you, we've never collected unmatched. He's our kind of our go to calving east sire around, around the farm and we just kind of hoard him. So after seeing some of these, after seeing we sold one on the, on the sale last year on the October sale, we sold one on the sale with Fitz two years ago. And he's the bull that gets to just breed all of our keepers. So we keep him around and he breeds donors and he breeds the heifers that we retain to keep.
- [57:03]
A
Heck yeah.
- [57:03]
B
It's definitely important to have one that can do that for you for sure.
- [57:06]
C
For sure.
- [57:07]
A
Like that.
- [57:10]
C
No doubt.
- [57:10]
A
Then you got a, you got a Bali 51 and she's a Vortex. I've heard of Vortex before, which is your boy obviously.
- [57:17]
C
So Vortex is another one that was sold. Sold on the bull sale two bull sales ago. Purchased by Kurt Hamburger of. Of Oklahoma. And we were pumped that he selected that bull. And so we kind of used some semen out of him and he went back and flushed this diamond, this five jcal to him. I think the. The fun part about this one is as we make our quest of trying to make these cattle wider and more powerful without giving up look, this is as much density as we've ever put into one without making them ugly. I mean, this heifer is. Is extremely punchy and wide. And. And I just think this is like, you know, there's. There's so many times when we take a phone call from a guy and he's like, you know, I'm a rancher and I run 250cows and I'm sick of people trying to sell me flat, narrow showcase, you know, and take them home and make cows. And like, when we made this mating and put these heers on the ground and is like, this is the one that when I hope that guy calls, it's like, we're going to scroll down to 51. Yeah, we're going to 51. Because she's the kind that, you know, anybody could take to a show, you know, compete at an extremely high level and go home. And this one can raise a hurt bull like she is. Is. Is stout and wide and still functional that she can raise. Raise really, really good bulls as well.
- [58:48]
A
And then you got one that's just a little neater, a little cooler looking longer. And she's another trust fund from RJ too.
- [58:57]
C
Yep. So this is a. This is the only coco heifer in sale. Coco is a heifer that we raised and sold a part of to the buyer family in Wisconsin. He was shown by Tucker, and she was a reserve heifer in Louisville and reserve heifer in Denver in the Sematol show. And then it's kind of been a mainstay donor for us and buyers the last probably four years. And taking her to trust fund, I mean, that cow is extreme in her look up front. And trust fund kind of punched her up, added a little extra that bone. Another one, I think makes a really good, really good bread heifer on down the road.
- [59:34]
A
That cow's picture looks insane.
- [59:36]
C
He's. She's a neat, neat, neat specimen.
- [59:40]
A
Awesome.
- [59:40]
B
And then you get into 33. That's the only foresight calf in this. In this lineup, huh?
- [59:46]
C
Only foresight. So this one was raised by the egg family that we've talked about a little bit above in the second chance.752. This heifer is a three quarter sib to the $620,000 selling to compul that Hartman sold a few years ago. This one to me is, is, is much breeding piece as she is anything. I mean just to try to own a piece of that Serena cow and be that closely related to Tecumseh and then take this heifer home and then you know, breeder to Copa Destiny, breeder to some of those new kind of more trendy show bulls and see what you can create now.
- [60:25]
B
And it seems like she might be one of the slicker haired ones in here. Do you think she'll kind of push some hair as you put something on back on her or what do you think?
- [60:32]
C
You know, we've been uncharacteristically hot for our part this, this summer and fall and you should see her now. I wish if we could back our sail off two weeks and repicture some of these heifers because this heifer is a lot better hair now than she was picture day. I don't know, I mean just with her pedigree being a little older school bred, she's never going to be as like lush haired as maybe some of those, you know, like the kind of the Vicky stuff or some of those Coco Destiny daughters just because that's just newer genetics. But I can tell you like this one's got more than enough on her now to be competitive.
- [61:08]
A
And then you mentioned the lush hair, but the lot 54 kind of reads that really, really nice hair as well. But she's in there coping with destiny.
- [61:16]
C
Yep. So lot 54 we actually picked up from, from Sullivan Farms just have gotten to kind of know those guys over the years and, and Josh Elder told me to feel free and stop it and see if I couldn't pick something out and, and find one to put on our sale. I was down at the prior family's house working out a bread heifer clipping her for state fair and ran over to Sullivan's and just kind of fell in love with this one. And I just kind of jokingly asked Josh like what about loading her? And she was sorted off into their keeper group for their maternal legends. He's like, yeah, I'd let you load her. And I was so shocked, but I'm like sounds good. I was like kind of half stunned. I'm like yeah, let's load her up A percentage heifer that's that kids show really well. But once again a three quarter blood that can go ahead and you know, raise a purebred. She's out of the bankroll Lizzo that Sarah Sullivan showed from RJ that honestly I trying to think. I don't know if she ever lost the percentage scimitars when she showed.
- [62:15]
B
So it seems you round. You round out the heifers at least with another remedy daughter.
- [62:22]
A
Yep.
- [62:22]
C
Lot 55 was raised by the Prior family. Her mom 180. 182 J was selected by Cal Prior and his family in our Fallborn sale a few years ago. And she went on to. I think she was sixth or seventh overall at the Scimitall junior nationals that year. Won the sematols a bunch and won her division a lot of national shows. And they flushed her to remedy and it worked really well. Just kind of softened that cow know up a little bit. This is the one that's haired up a ton. A sense picture day and one I think can make somebody a really good bread heifer on down the road as well.
- [63:04]
A
Yes sir. Yeah. And then so I guess no more heifers. But you got some embryo lots and there's a. You talked about that Becky cow Prior. But I see your picture now and I know what you're talking about too. She's.
- [63:15]
C
Yeah. We can kind of breeze through. Breeze through some of these. This is the lot 56 embryos are full sibs to the lot 8 heifer. The no limit Becky. I said Becky has never missed force through any mating. The Lot 8 kind of shows what this. What this mating could be. Lot 57 remedy nala. We didn't have any Nala heifers on on this sale this year. Nala is a sister to Sarabi which would be the. The 46 heifer's mom. So kind of just some. Some genetic value there as well. Lot 58 we talked about the kind of corella daughters at length 58. They're full sib embryos to lots 11 and 12. And then 59 and 60 are out of our shorthorn. Shorthorn donor. So 59 is a purebred shorthorn. Mating 60 is a dual registered maintainer shorthorn one plus meeting. So those are. Those are matings that we didn't have any. Didn't get any calves on the ground to sell out of the discount this year. But they were some of our high sellers last year.
- [64:22]
A
Awesome.
- [64:24]
B
With some semen. Like I know we kind of talked about something about the all me and only one. And yeah, I don't think we talked much about the devil. You know who kind of was that one.
- [64:31]
A
He seems pretty cool.
- [64:33]
C
Yeah. So basically you just kind of offered some semen Here out of some of the bowls that maybe people would like the offspring out of up above. So all me and only one. Like you said, we kind of hit on some daughters out of them. The. The devil, you know, is as a new main bull for us. So this is the one I was talking about. He's a full brother to the lot 20, the freaky black and white high main heifer. So he's an all me 91 16. Yep. And we've just got our first set of calves in the ground out of him. And they look really good. Four main cattle. They have a little extra width, a little extra punch, but still really soft and pliable in their center rib for sure.
- [65:10]
A
Yeah.
- [65:11]
C
The only thing I was disappointed on is I have like 6 or 7 W no's on the ground. I don't have any red and white ones. They're all black and black and white. So far now I've seen some red white ones out out and about other places. And I hope next year I'm luckier and get a couple red white ones because that was kind of my hope up. It's like I. I want to make some red mains for sure, man.
- [65:33]
A
Everyone likes some red veins. They're just so unique. They're so unique. Well, I guess with all this said, I mean, we kind of went through the sale and breezed through it, and we're only hour and five minutes in. So I'm pumped up. Like, I get that gets me excited. I. And I hope that maybe it wasn't too long for anybody that's. That's listening. But, I mean, I'll just be really honest. Like, I wouldn't host a sale preview if I didn't can support the breeder. What they. What they do or what they strive to. To offer to the public. And if it hasn't been evident enough to anyone in the cattle industry as a whole, that Weiss has literally made a stamp in the heifer industry because there's probably one in there for you. But, Willie, I mean, I appreciate you coming on and talking about the heifers with us. The sale looks awesome. I'm excited. It's obviously on October 12th. Well, on SC online sales. And they can either contact you or. Bodhislip. I think I spoke. I think I said that right. I'm sorry, buddy, for listening. I didn't mean to, like, ruin your last name.
- [66:39]
C
I'm sure it's been butchered worse than that.
- [66:41]
A
I'm sure it has. They butchered it at Battle of the Cattle show steer. I mean, a steer show in Dallas this. This summer. They. I don't know who it was. I think it was Ken Jakey. He butchered it, and it kind of had us all laughing. But with all this said, man, I really appreciate it, and I'm glad we got to run through these and talk about them. And I think it's really, really good for people that are interested in the. In the cattle, because I think on online sales, like the comments, I think it's good because you obviously get to read what the breeder thinks, but I think hearing the voice is a little more reassuring and really getting more personal with it. So I'm glad we got to do it. And, I mean, I don't know if there's anything else you want to say or tack on, but, nope, I don't think so.
- [67:24]
C
Once again, just appreciate you guys for. For having me on here. I really respect what you guys are doing. I think this is a great avenue, you know, for us as breeders and sellers to kind of promote our sale, but also for people listening. My goal with it, as we talked through them, was just to give a little bit more background about the cows. I'm kind of a big believer that, you know, the sire can only do so much, and at some point in time, the. The cow family has to kick in and kind of carry the way. So appreciate you guys having me on. Thanks again.
- [67:55]
A
Awesome. Well, anyone who hasn't, I guess, Beforehand, it's on October 12th on SE Online Sales. We hope that. That you bid and bid and bid again. So. But after that, I guess. Willie, thank you for coming on. We'll talk to y' all later.
