This is a first time consignment from the Sturgess family in the National Sale and they waited until they had the goods. They told me, “Put simply, he’s the best we have raised and would love to share him.” This bull caught the attention of Jerry & Michael Sturgess since he was a baby calf and has continued to shine as he aged. If you value traits like volume, thickness, structural correctness and soundness, then you should take a serious look at this exciting herd sire. Sired by the great Ledger, he also exhibits the ease of flesh, depth of rib and flank and the superior carcass traits of his sire. Maternally, he is out of the most dynamic Charolais female ever born on the ranch. Just study her picture with excellent udder quality and more milk than the numbers suggest. She will move into the embryo program after she calves to LT Blue Value this coming year. Want another added plus; this big puppy-dog disposition herd bull, never had a halter on him until he was twenty months old when Jason Hankins received him in August 2014! He stands out on all four corners, he has the pedigree, the data, the disposition and outstanding Sturgess family standing behind and beside him! Selling 2/3 interest and full possession.

The hunt for an outcross calving ease sire stops here. With an actual birth weight of 78 lbs. and EPDs in the top 2% for CE, 3% for MCE and in the top 15% for BW, this big-ended, powerhouse can be used on first calf heifers with confidence. His sire WR Wrangler W601, is an AICA Trait Leader for Calving Ease. This extra gentle herd sire prospect has the potential to headline many breeding programs. Bojangles started his show career the right way by winning his class and division at the Iowa State Fair in August. Big-bodied, easy fleshing, sound and attractive are all correct descriptions for him. His dam is an exciting first-calf-heifer with a perfect udder, good feet and is backed up by Summit’s proven donor, Three Trees Vanna 1801, who has stayed in the Summit E.T. program longer than any cow to move through their herd. Over and over the Rio Bravo daughters and granddaughters are coming to the forefront as consistent producers at Summit Farms and herds across the United States. Summit Farms would like to retain a ¼ semen interest in Bojangles for the opportunity to collect him for in herd use only, but would assist in promoting him and also entertain the option of showing him in the future for the new owners.

RF Excel is that herd sire prospect and more. He is a bull that is square-hipped, extremely deep-bodied, capacious in his rib shape and when put into motion, he certainly doesn’t disappoint. He comes from a stacked pedigree of breed giants. Every sire in his pedigree has greatly influenced our breed and every dam in his pedigree has been a high-end donor for some of the elite programs in our breed. His sire X-Factor was a former Show Bull of the Year and X-Factor’s dam a past Show Dam of the Year. Excel’s dam, RF Greta 97Z is a full sister to Parker Henley’s RF Greta 96Z, the #6 Show Female of the Year for 2013-14. She sold in the 2012 Ridder Farms Showgirls Sale for $10,000 and the Ridder’s kept the full sister 97Z, dam of this bull to carry on that genetic power line. Greta 96Z was the National Junior Calf Champion in 2013, a division Champion at the AIJCA Jr. National and the Grand Champion Female at the 2013 Missouri State Fair. This pedigree is built for success with Fire Water having been a National Champion Bull, sired many other National Champions and the maternal granddam of this bull, RLL Goin’ Places having been a Reserve National Champion Female. The Ridder’s will reserve the show rights on RF Excel 427 until after the January National Western Stock Show where he will anchor their Pen of Bulls. Selling ½ interest and full possession.

Mamie 764 is a soft, smooth, thick, deep-bodied, beautiful individual with built in power along with an excellent udder. Three of her last four calves have gone straight into the Bar J show string. Her dam M6 Ms Mark 9485 was a tremendous donor dam for M6 Ranches and propagated the Mamie cow family with 27 mostly E.T. progeny. More great donor dams dominate the top side of this donor’s pedigree with the dam of LT Wyoming Wind, the dam of Three Trees Wind 0383 and WCR Miss Mac IV 5138, one of Three Trees most powerful donors.

The first daughter that put her on the map was CCC Ellie Mae 301 P, after her successful show career she produced Big Creek CCC Mable 301Y that sold for a big dollar to Jeht Statler in Nebraska, and went on to win many big shows. CCC Ellie Mae then produced three E.T.’s in 2013 that sold for $7,750, $8,000 and $14,200 and we will be hearing more about their show records soon. #4307 also produced CCC Gabrielle 902 that sold to JVS Charolais in Louisiana and then Crutcher Honey Boo Boo 134Z that had an amazing string of show wins in 2013 and 2014. J & A also had a Honey Boo Boo that was successful. Also many bull progeny have found homes with numerous purebred breeders. #4307 has 21 progeny registered at AICA. The proof of her value just keeps coming on. JH Ms Primetime 4307 is due to calve the first of March and will be ready to flush about May 1st. She has averaged nine embryos per flush.

This program continues to make huge strides in producing functional, powerful, breed leading females and what an opportunity for a new or established breeder to go into this herd and select just one. There are over 300 head of females to sort through, so bring your lunch.

This herd is anchored by one of the greatest Duke 914 donors of all times-VCR Miss Duchess 433 and also the fact that the great Baldridge Sweetheart 7M and 444 finally got their due respect while residing at M & M Charolais!

So that means, there are over 1,500 active mature cows to select from, no pedigree estimate females are included. This choice of the herd has been actively bid on each and every year that the Eaton’s have offered this choice of the herd. We will offer the first “choice of the herd” and then one more “choice of the herd” or the first winning bidder may double the bid and sweep the ring. Just think of it, your choice from more than 1,500 brood cows! What an opportunity! More than 632 cows rank in the top 25% of the breed for BW EPD, 891 cows rank in the top 25% for Milk EPD, 692 females rank in the top 25% for MEC EPD and 490 females rank in the top 25% for TM EPD. 94 Eaton sires are listed in the Spring 2014 AICA Sire Summary with Trait Leaders for 8 Traits. These are awesome numbers to work with, but you need to go out into the vast pastures and find those eye-appealing brood cows, with outstanding production records and those well-known ETN brands on their sides to select your next donor dam. These selections will take some time, some effort, some patience, but never forget the opportunity for greatness that will come with one or two of these tremendous brood cows. choice of herd 9 CHOICE OF TWO MATURE COWS FROM ENTIRE HERD Presented by Eaton Charolais, The Eaton Family, Lindsay, Montana 406-584-7520 CHOICE OF HERD 10 CHOICE OF HERD OF HEIFER CALF PAIRS Buyer’s choice of one heifer calf pair, born in the spring of 2015 after they have calved out in February and March and selected on or before their 36th Annual Hubert Charolais Ranch Bull Sale on April 7, 2015!

Presented by Hubert Charolais Ranch, David Hubert, Oakley, Kansas 785-672-2540 Small but Mighty….Generations of Quality…..Time Tested Genetics! This herd has been around forever, since 1958 and it is small in size, but mighty in quality and genetic power. David Hobbs can’t quit talking about the opportunity for someone to come into this herd and take out a “golden goose.” WCR Sir Mac 809 was and still is today a power maternal sire. You won’t find his name in many current pedigrees, but if you dig back a ways you’ll see it pop up in some of the most successful cow families. Many of the females in this herd go back to a son of Mac 809 that Dan Corman purchased from Peterson Farms out of a JWK Duke 914 dam. You will like what you see from this bloodline. There are 19 fall calving cows to select from with calves at side by LT Long Distance, Cooley Royce, Grid Maker and Bluegrass. There are 23 females due to calve in the spring bred to LT Ledger, Long Distance, LT Easy Pro and Royce. In addition to those females there are 5 bred heifers and 7 open heifers to select from. This is a closely culled and productive set of females that will make money. This selection is asked to be made by December 31, 2014.

To complement the blending of all these cattle they went on an extensive search for herd sires which provided them with a herd sire battery from the elite programs of Wienk, Cobb, Hoodoo, Dubas, Raile and Lindskov-Thiel. Since that time, Oakwater Ranch has implemented an extensive trait and genetic based program while remaining a closed herd, with its entire focus on providing a superior product designed to fit the needs of the commercial bull buyer! These traits are calving ease, performance, disposition, structure, maternal and carcass traits. They strive to keep their customers profitable. So how successful have they been in obtaining their goals? The answer is from the data this operation has collected from their annual bull sale of approximately 90 head of yearling bulls, which ranks in the top tier of sales held each year. When comparing a summary of the data, Oakwater has reduced the birth weight of their bulls by 9.3%, while maintaining their weaning and yearling weights above breed average. There has been a significant increase in Ribeye Area and a 23% increase in intramuscular fat. When you travel to Mansfield to evaluate the cowherd you will find a very functional group of cows that, although not pampered, are productive, hard-working brood matrons that will add value to any cow herd and do it on the forage that the ranch provides. There will be approximately 300 spring calving cows, 45 bred heifers and 100 spring 2014 heifer calves to select from. Oakwater Ranch will retain one successful flush on the selected female and if she has a bull calf in the spring of 2015, a 1/3 semen interest in that bull. Selection must be made by December 31, 2014. Pictured are just some of the brood cows in that herd.

Sired by the breed exciting Cooley Royce only adds to the excitement over these two heifers. He is really putting the right kind out there in the industry. The dam of these great heifers is also stirring the pot. At twelve years of age, she demanded a $11,250 selling price to Brian Ingram and Derry Wright during the EJ Shepherd Dispersal in 2012.

Her dam CC Katelyn 8107 gathered numerous banners through her Lot 20 show career, including the National Western Stock Show Junior Show Grand Champion, two AIJCA Jr. National Division Championships and the Minnesota State Fair Supreme Grand award, just to name a few. But more importantly she has went on to produce progeny that have been sought after by cattlemen across the country and have competed in the ring themselves. One son, WDZ CC Kade was the 2012 AIJCA Jr. National Grand Champion Bull and went on to be the Breeders Classic Grand Champion that fall. The T07K cow family anchors this pedigree of proven genetic value. The sire of this heifer, Diablo brings another Denver champion into the CC Katelyn 8107 Pld mix and his progeny too have been a force in the ring, both show ring and sale ring, in recent months. He is anchored by another maternal power cow CML Diablo 2X family with CML Wilma as his dam, also the dam of the National Reserve Champion CML Encore.

Bronco sons were the high sellers at both the 2012 and 2013 Sonderup Charolais Ranch Annual Bull Sale selling for $8,000 and $14,500.

Mustang Sally sold this past January in the Embryos on Snow Sale in Denver for $65,000 for ½ interest! She has had an enviable show career beginning in 2010 being named the Reserve Grand Champion Heifer at the Canadian Agribition, Reserve Grand at the Junior National and Grand at the 2011 Denver Junior Show and Reserve Grand at the Denver ROE show. But her genetic power really came into play when a Monopoly sired heifer was named the Supreme Grand Champion Female at the 2013 Ohio State Fair, a steer out of her sold for $62,000 and another daughter sold for $47,750. Embryos out of her have sold for $3,750 each! What could this heifer calf out of her be worth sired by the $105,000 LT Ledger?

Truly, a unique opportunity to obtain an original painting by noted livestock illustrator, Galen Struve. In 1993, the Missouri Charolais Breeders Association contacted Struve to create a painting to commemorate the 25th National Charolais Show to be held in conjunction with the American Royal Livestock Show. This beautiful work depicts two breeders who worked diligently to build the American Royal Charolais activities, Jerry Litton and Frank Wesson. Also included in the collage are images of Sam 951, the first American Royal Champion Female, the Litton Trophy, the AICA trademark globe along with other notables. The original painting was auctioned before the start of the 15th National Sale with Dick and Jeanne Fanning, Thousand Oaks Charolais, Carthage, Missouri, having the winning bid. This original and prints (only 200) generated over $12,000 for the Charolais Ambassador program. As Dick and Jeanne have retired, they gave back the original painting to benefit Charolais Juniors not only in Missouri but nationwide. The painting is professionally framed and ready to hang in your office or front room. The original painting pictured with print #1 at the 25th National. Dick Fanning was honored as the 42nd National Show Dedicatee. For information contact Kaitlyn Lewis or David Hobbs at AICA. 29 THOMAS RANCH PHEASANT HUNT Guided Hunt For 4 With Lunch And Refreshments An awesome opportunity!
