A (2:30)

Well, lot two will be next. This will be a full sib to Lot 1. Different color and different style. This one reads to be like a little more compact version. A very dense made, has a real nice hair coat that I think an individual could have fun with over the summer and fall. But I would love to see this steer at a slick show, especially under the lights there at Houston. I think he'd stick out real, real well. What are Yalls thoughts?

B (2:51)

That's my thoughts exactly. I think he needs to probably be a lot to medium weight Lemmy and I think he classifies and I think he's going to feed out and be extremely good showcase by the end. Yeah.

C (3:02)

I think this one in particular, depending on what part of the state he goes to, I think kind of determines if he's going to be a light or a middle. But there is no doubt he might be just the roundest bodied and punchiest one in the set. That still comes together with the tremendous look of quality. And I think there's lots of versatility in terms of the breed type. You know that, that. Lemme deal. You know, I've seen a bunch of them that should have got in that didn't and some that maybe shouldn't have that did. So I think he's, his head shape is right and I think he's dark enough to the ground. I think that he meets the qualifications there. But I think the fact that he still is just extra punchy and really, really balanced from the profile just gives you some versatility within them. Three breeds to show him.

A (3:49)

Yes sir. Well, threes next. This is going to be an American prospect. That's a holy grail on an American legacy. Wise guy cow ABC all day long. This one is consigned by Dzak Bros. Over there in Verbess, Texas. And this calf's really unique. I really like the way he's put together from profile. Stout featured calf that's got awesome rib shape from what it reads like. Really easy classifying steer as well. His character is awesome. Talk to me what your thoughts are on that calf, Austin, I read him to be an awesome heavyweight at Houston.

C (4:19)

No, I agree with that. And Zach has done a tremendous job there. He's been hustling, getting the right kind of matings lined up and definitely somebody, I think in the near future that I wouldn't be surprised that might have several breed champions in a year. He's doing an awesome job getting those cattle bred and presented and getting them in the right homes. And I think this white one's a great representation of that. I think, as you said, just from the profile, just extra feature strength of his top line. His presence through his front end is awesome. I think he maintains his balance and motion as good as any, yet he comes with the right kind of squareness out of the back of his shoulder. And I agree with you there, Weston. I read that one to have some gas and I think you just feed that one. I think his feet and legs hold up incredibly well. And I just think his color on top of just his flexibility and look I think will definitely get you drawn there to the center. And I do read that that one's body is still very round again. That one gets fed and shown well. I think there's tremendous upside.

A (5:23)

Well, four will be next. This is a trust no bay on again, the solid gold 620 cal. Hey, this one reads to me like an extreme state fair prospect. I mean, you want to talk about a fat steer in a lightweight or middleweight division, I think this calf's right on the money. He's a little more ahead in terms of his maturity pattern. I think that's why I think this calf's got the right future to be there at state fair. But his feet and legs are incredible. I think this calf at that specific show would stand out in a lot of ways. What are your thoughts?

B (5:50)

I think you're exactly right. I think he's going to be a, or would be a really nice state fair lightweight, maybe middleweight. But I think you could also hold him to San Antonio. But I think his true endpoint is probably going to be state fair for sure.

C (6:03)

I. I think this calf's type and kind represent a lot of those trust and obeys that I've seen just so right in their body, but yet so comfortable and secure there at the ground. This might be just the. The stoutest skull, biggest forearmed one in the pile. There's not a lot of people that talk about that anymore, but I think they're skull forearm shape is an indication of how these cattle are going to feed. And that one just Hits me is just extremely balanced in terms of just his fat steer proportions. I just think his ability to be so powerful and mobile is pretty unique.

A (6:35)

Lot five will be next. Another. This will be an In God We Trust on it doesn't show the bottom side. My apologies, guys. This can be an In God We Trust steer. Lenny Charlay or aoc. This calf is a little earlier in terms of his birth date. He's a springboard calf. I do like this calf's hair quality to have some fun with over the spring and summer. But really, truly, this calf at San Angelo or San Antonio could be his very best end point. What are your thoughts?

C (7:00)

Yeah, no, I agree with that. This one's very versatile just in his size. Like he's going to be mature and ready if you wanted to show him as a lightweight in Dallas. And honestly, for that guy judging man, I think he hits him right in the. Right in the mouth, honestly. But man, I think that he's still just to be in April like I. He's still just very honest and fresh in his condition. And again, when Jason asked us to consign a couple of them, we didn't actually raise this one. Both the ones we have in this sale we, we actually gathered up. Ours are just a little bit younger and not as ready to go yet. But we thought these two fit the set very well. And again, I think we've got just some variety just in terms of breed type of how you want to show them or whether that's or even just end point there. But again, I think very similar to Lot 4. This one's fat steer build and proportions to me is incredible. I just love the shape of his body. He's huge on his feet, so good and comfortable there in motion and still I think comes together with a very good look. I just think that this one feeds incredibly well and I think he's a very cost effective one to feed. I think he's just go slow and easy. I think that one just continues to get better every day.

A (8:12)

So lot six will be next. This is going to be an In God We Trust on a solid gold 620. This will be a full Sid to Lot 10. But his pieces resemble a lot of what 4 and 5 have a little earlier in terms of his maturity pattern. Extremely stout featured, huge footed, big ribbed calf that's got a lot of shape especially out of his hip and lower quarter and stifle but especially his back shape. I think there's a lot of things you could do with this calf just in Terms of his moderation, easy feeding kind. What are your thoughts?

B (8:38)

The same. I think it's going to be really easy to feed this calf. You just don't ever get in a hurry and kind of ease him along. And I think he'll be a lot to medium weight from San Antonio to Houston.

C (8:48)

Hey, this, this one here might be the gentlest one in the whole pile. That thing would not pick his head up on picture day. So gentle. Always trying to lick on you and rub on you. So I think he's very, very just first year newcomer, friendly to the show steer game. But man, I think his pieces are extremely large. You know, again, like, like you alluded to, you know, not going to be the biggest one. Hey, but somebody's got to get along in the lightweights, right? I mean, I think to, to be that bold and that shapely, I think that one is still just very tight and clean in his thr chest. I think a unique combination of look

A (9:22)

and Power 7's next you switch it up a little bit with an ABC prospect. This one comes from Bros. He's a doghouse on a BDR cow. That come from Priest. This calf is actually reads to me like he's got the feet and legs to push on this calf and get him to 12 o'. Clock. I think he's going to be an awesome contender there anywhere between San Antonio and Houston. The calf species are extremely unique. High tying Long neck calf that's got a long level hip and an awesome hind leg. What do y' all think?

C (9:47)

Yeah, I, I think that this one has got just the build, the presence and the quality to man really get a guy's attention the minute they come in the ring. He, he might be one of just the. The greener ones in the sale, but if you actually just study the shape of his forehead and the squareness out of the back of his shoulder, that, that doesn't bother me. I think the calf feeds incredibly well. And I think, as you said, I think just in terms of his age and his maturity, I think that if a guy got on it, you could show him in San Antonio as a heavyweight. Because I'm telling you, those kind of grippers and that kind of look on the green carpet I think goes a long way. But I think the calf's just color, his presence and his shape is real high end.

A (10:28)

Yes, Sir. Well, lot 8's next. This is a chosen one on that solid gold 620 cal. And really, truly I love this calf in terms of his presence and silhouette. From profile, I Think the most thing that's so unique about the calf is his ratio from fore rib to flank and how he just progresses back deeper. He couples that with so much power. I think if you get this calf in the right home, in the right setting in terms of the placement of Texas, this calf could have awesome hair quality to be a big time show steer at Fort Worth. Burly, stout, featured hind leg. I think Frank Ward is really seeking after.

C (11:00)

No, for sure. And I was actually when they first got these in and got them weaned, I was able to see them just off the cowl and they were a little rougher looking. And I'm telling you, this one had the mega hair. He's obviously rubbing it out in some places. But like you said, like, you know, if a guy wanted to get him on the program and get his hair right again, that guy in Fort Worth loved extra feature and hair and I do think he does that to a very high degree. But maybe more importantly, this might be one of the best just market steers in the whole bunch. You talk about a huge chest, big forearm, really bold cage and. And definitely he's. He's probably just the most intimidating and shape and dimension from behind. But I'd argue with you though, if you say that one didn't balance good to be that powerful. And just his flexibility and squareness down low to me is really unique. I think maybe one of the more unique critters in the whole pile.

B (11:54)

Be honest, that was my thoughts as well.

A (11:56)

Yes, sir. Well, lot nine will be next. This is gonna be an In God We Trust on a female you'll call lady, which is an out there on 369. And this is a Charlier AOC prospect. Y' all mentioned. This calf probably needs an experienced showman, but is making progress. I think that goes to say that his presence and arrogance and just his high headedness is extremely unique. I think the calf is going to be a real nice show steer once he gets some time in TLC and some feed because his feet and legs can hold the push. And I think he's going to be an awesome market steer wherever he ends up. What is your thoughts?

B (12:28)

That's my thoughts as well. That's. And we have made incredible progress since pitcher day with this thing. And he's starting to act like he wants to really be a show steer, so. And I think he can go take him anywhere from San Antonio to Houston.

C (12:42)

Slick.

B (12:42)

He's going to have good hair, but I think that's where he ends up

C (12:45)

needing to be yeah, and I mean, he too like that silver one is axe that he might be just a little on the greener side, you know, but just in terms of a quality skeleton with a tremendous, tremendous presence up front. I think for one to be that skinny, he's got the right turn to his body and he has got big punch from behind that one. To me, he's got real sneaky shape and muscle. And again, kind of allude what y' all were talking about from just a show in the calf perspective. When you get in the pen with that one, he'll pull his head up and look at you, and it looks like he is going to run through you. There is not a mean bone in his body. He. He is coming around and doing the right things, but man, just his presence is real high quality to me.

A (13:29)

Yes, sir. Lot 10 will be next. This is an in God we trust on the solid gold 620, the full SIB, the one we talked about prior. Hey, I really like this calf's build. I also really like his body shape and just the time that that he is in his condition, his shape in terms of alongside his build, I think the calf's got a really big time future ahead of him. I think depending on what area of Texas he lands in, that this calf could be an awesome Fort Worth steer. But I also think the calf slicks off really nice as well. Big time dual purpose calf.

B (14:01)

Yes. This is one of my favorite ones in the sale. Just, he's just really complete from start to the end. And I think you can take him probably anywhere you want to from Fort Worth to Houston.

C (14:11)

No, for sure. And I think the fact that you can have one that is so versatile with all the shows that we have now is incredibly valuable. I don't think you can put a price tag on that because ultimately, showing them in Fort Worth now you got to have slick sheeran muscle to get along, and he's got that. But he has got an incredibly soft, smooth hair coat. That again, I think if someone puts in elbow grease in the time you can rig that one up and show them there again. I don't know. That one gets a big, soft belly there in the green chips and them lights there in Houston. I think that one looks awful special.

A (14:44)

Well, I'll be completely honest. I know you're not supposed to show your face, but if I was in a pen and I was going to look at calves, I'd be loading this one up on a trailer immediately. Lot 11. He is a golden boy on the solid gold 620. And if we're talking strict strictly similarities, I think this calf resembles a lot, a lot of what haired Americans look like winning these days. This calf is extremely unique. He's extremely burly, dense, made, huge footed, stout, featured. I got nothing that I could else say about the calf other than I'll hype him up as much as I can. But I do like the cafe whole, whole, whole lot. What is yalls thoughts?

B (15:22)

That's our thoughts exactly. I this thing I think is going to have the nice good, good hair for Fort Worth. But I think you can sleep him off and take him to Houston and be extremely competitive. He's dog dog gentle like, follows you around. But I think he's senior year good as they say.

C (15:38)

For sure. Yeah. And you know, again I think this really matters. But you know, depending on what part of the state this one goes to, I think that that's kind of going to determine his size. I'd say he's probably my Fort Worth is maybe just a on the top end of the lightweight deal. But again, if you wanted to shear him and show him, I do think he's a middle sized one. And again, you know we've got a lot of different guys and gals judging these days and them little ones can get along and win a banner. So I think the parts and pieces there are just so, so high end and I think specifically for that breed now you have got to have the crossbred bone feature and density to get along and I think he does that to a very high degree while still classifying.

A (16:21)

Yes Sir. Well, lot 12 is next. This is going to be a chosen one on a solid gold 620. And y' all have listed several different things or several different ways you could run this calf. One thing I'll say is I'm not a classifier. My opinion doesn't matter very much. I do think the calf does class also depending on what family has him and things of that nature. But I do believe he resembles a lot of what Lot 11 does have as well. Being big footed, stout, featured, bold, ribbed. I do like the calf a whole lot and really truly I'm a betting man and I like playing a lot of games. I would be playing the game of running this one American. What's your thoughts?

B (16:56)

That's my thoughts exactly. We did this breeding trying to make slicking black ones and this I think we accomplished that. But I think we also made an American a brangus probably.

C (17:06)

No for sure. And I think you just got to, you just got to let it up to the classifiers on this. But the calf as an individual though, I think is just so unique that he's so bold and shapely, yet his feet and legs are big and square and just so, so secure at the surface. And again, I think everything is a little close on the edge. But I mean if we're being honest, all of these things that are getting along or maybe just a little on the edge classified. So I think you try with whatever you're comfortable with and you roll with it.

A (17:35)

Yes, sir. Lot 13's next. This is going to be a John the Baptist on a Red Angus Red Cross female. No, John the Baptist could run Red Angus could run Red Cross. I would go out and assume y' all saying Red Angus. He is polled, so could class. Obviously y' all stated before classifying it. It's so incredibly hard to do and trying to get in on certain areas. But I do think the calf does class just in terms of his head shape and things of that nature. I do like the calf a whole lot. What's yalls thoughts?

C (18:04)

Yeah, the minute we found this one I thought man, that is right in the mix Red Cross. And I got to studying and being smooth headed, just kind of dark to his points and just a little blacker there to the ground. I thought actually if you're talking about real world Red Angus cattle, I think that that one actually fits the bill. But either way I thought the calf's practicality, his shape out his top and his hips extra good. But he's so smooth there from the profile and yet he sets it down on a very soft and square structure. Again, Red Angus Red Cross. I'd be very, very proud to show that one. And I think just it is always going to be in the mix no matter who's judging. A real nice problem free red one there.

A (18:46)

Yes, Sir. Well, lot 14s next. This is the last lot of the sale. This one will actually be a full sib to 10 and 6. And I do like the calf a whole lot. I think he's stout, featured, bold, ribbed, lots of shape up high in tandem with a wide pin set and a real shapely hip and height or shapely hip and stifle. Talk to me about what y' all think this is. Calf's best endpoint is I do read them to have real nice air quality. Also, depending on what area of Texas what showman has him, I think they can get it done. But I think this calf peeled off, he'd be real high quality sleeping calf.

B (19:14)

I think he's going to have really nice hair and could have Fort Worth hair, but there's no doubt in my mind. You take it all off and he's going to have the really nice slick shear and built for sure.

C (19:25)

And, you know, I really think that this one's about as dual purpose as it gets. My initial impression of him, though, way back when I first saw him, was, man, I think that one is a very, very competitive Lemmy Shar AOC I think he meets qualifications and everything's right to be a Lemmy, but just as the steer, as an individual, I think, again, I think this cow has done just a tremendous job of stamping them with that kind of rib cage shape in their top and their hip, but yet they're all so square in their build and so comfortable in motion. I think that one is extremely versatile. And another one just from a. From a feeding standpoint, I think that that one just feeds really easy. I think you go slow. He is so bold and punchy. I think you just coast that one along and there's so many end points where that one could end up.

A (20:15)

Very much so. With that said, I've stated before, it happens on steer bidder sale day is on the 14th. Is there anything that you all want to leave the audience with or anybody that's interested in the Cavs with alongside just in.

B (20:26)

In the preview, come out and see us for sure.

C (20:29)

Yeah, we. I mean, we love talking about the cattle and we definitely could. Could guide you in the right direction. But, man, I think even being as a parent now with. With the kids showing, I think it's so important to go see these things in person and develop your own opinion of them. Because ultimately, if you want to buy one of these things, I really think you need to see what they look like so you can kind of get a better game plan on what you're going to end up with. But we're very proud of them. I think it's a very good set that's got a lot of versatility, and ultimately, this is something that we want to just continue to keep doing. I think the Hill country is kind of just a really good middle ground for a lot of traffic to come through. I think everybody gets the hype of going up the panhandled bind. But we're talking about this the other day, and we definitely want people to know that there's some really good cattle being made here in the Hill Country. And again, I think it's really awesome, this platform that y' all developed to kind of get everybody's stock advertised and promoted. Really appreciate what you are doing for our business and our industry.

A (21:32)

Absolutely appreciate it. Guys, empowerment's here. We'll see y' all next time.
