On behalf of the Virginia Simmental Association and Ruble Cattle Services we would like to welcome you to the Legends of the Blue Ridge Sale. Marshall and I have been involved with the Legends Sale since its induction. Our role over the years has changed but one thing that has stayed the same is our commitment to its success. Our customers have always been very happy with their purchases and quality of the cattle and genetics we’ve sent them from the Legends sale. This year we were asked by the VSA to manage the sale and help bring the breeders of Virginia together in this event. The sale lots this year are the best from top to bottom that has ever been offered through the sale in its history. We hope you will be able to join us this year to evaluate the cattle and find what you need for your program. If you are unable to make it to the sale please contact us ahead of time. We will give you an honest and complete description of every lot and we will help arrange a plan for you to bid absentee. We also do our very best to assist in lining up trucking that is fast and affordable. Our company motto is “Business Done Right.” I think you will enjoy the way we operate. We look forward to seeing you or talking to you over the phone.

Selling 3 embryos guaranteeing 1 pregnancy if work is performed by a certified embryologist. We were a little hesitant to put these embryos in the sale. This young donor was a high selling bred heifer in the Living Legacy Sale V and has been proving herself since she stepped off the trailer. X309 raised an outstanding first calf and her ET calves are stars among their contemporary groups. She is a no miss cow that works with every bull we have flushed too. These embryos are by W/C Wide Track 694Y. This combo of Wide Track and Melody looks to be the best mating yet.
Selling 3 embryos guaranteeing 1 pregnancy if work is performed by a certified embryologist. Simple words could not do this cow justice. Cow power comes to mind when you look at her; and rightfully so, with a pedigree that includes H25, Olivia, and Dream On. This deep bodied, feminine female, combined with Sheer Force, will give you a top notch pedigree with the class and style you desire in your herd. RRF is pleased to offer 3 embryos with a guarantee of 1 out of 3, as long as the work is done by a certified embryologist. Don’t miss out on this powerful combination.

They are out of one of the most predictable mating of the great matron TNC Sweet Dream. RTC Cowboy is a full sib to Steel Force as you can see this mating has really worked by already producing a donor cow and a herd sire. Consignor David Haulsey

This fall bred heifer has all the genetics to be a productive and efficient cow for years. Stayability is a major factor of profitability in a cow herd. The dam and granddam have produced calves for years like clock work. They also conceived to the A.I. service every time. Z28 is very maternal by being big ribbed and soggy with calving ease, maternal calving ease, and birth weight EPDs in the top 20%. These maternal traits combined with the breeding to the heavy muscled, yet calving ease Simmental bull, Mr. Olie, will produce an excellent calf.

It takes many miles to find a baldy bred heifer as nice as this one. She combines the world’s most popular baldy Simmental bull Steel Force and the Blackbird cow family. She is bred up to the outstanding Coleman Regis.

Sired by Teddy, who’s semen is nearly impossible to find, Rebecca is one of the nicest pedigreed and bred heifers Katies’s Simmental has parted with in some time. AI bred on 2-10-14 to the Angus bull Brilliance - a bull with power, muscle, and style whose progeny are ultra-competitve in the show and sale ring. If you want a SimAngus that will perform in ring and in the pasture, this mating will work. Like all of my cattle, Rebecca has a super disposition and I believe will make an awesome cow.

Her second calf, an Upgrade bull is headed to the SW VA BCIA bull test with big performance numbers.

XT is a young cow with an outcross pedigree and versatility. She did a great job raising her KNH Added Value 58W heifer calf and will do a great job whether she raises her natural calf from the mating with Mo Better or the embryo pregnancy by BV Dream Girl-FG-U17/STCC Sheriff Taylor. BV Dream Girl is one of three donors in my breeding program and I have been very pleased with this mating - the females are incredibly attractive!
Confirmed bred 3 months bred on 4-24-14 by veterinarian. She is solid black with a good disposition. She raises a really stout calf every year. Pasture Exposed Y&Y Red Mann, ASA# 2639857 from 11/24/13 to 1/24/14 Consignor David Haulsey

Deer Creek Zara Z1
This cow-calf package is one of the best that you will find any where in the country. This is her first calf and she is in excellent flesh. The EPDs on the cow, calf, and projected EPDs on the calf in utero are at the highest percentage in the breed. Z1 was a show heifer for my son and she has an excellent disposition. She is superb in her structure with a very nice front, smooth shouldered and feminine. She and her calf have a blaze face. She is an easy keeper. Her sire is a bull from Wherman Angus that was a high seller and has been used in the Quaker Hill Farm herd. The breeding to W/C United keeps the calf as a SimAngus with added growth, but still keeping plenty of calving ease with API in the top 3% and TI in the top 1%. Donor potential here- outcross SimAngus genetics with EPDs that are as good as you can get. Z1 is safe to the AI date to W/C United.

Bella is halter broke and will be very competitive in the show ring. Her straight top, smooth shoulders, clean neck, femininity, muscle shape, docile disposition, and EPDs will make her a strong contender, especially the PTP shows. Even at a young age, I think she could develop into a donor cow to produce stud bulls and fancy show heifers. The genetics here are valuable in that she offers calving ease with growth, is very nice structured, and an API in the top 2% and TI in the top 10%. Excellent opportunity here. You will be hard pressed to find better EPDs with the phenotype to go along with it.

If you’re looking for longevity Scout is the cow you will want to put in your herd. I purchased the dam of this first calve heifer, “Rocket”, when she was 10 years old & she continued to produce top notch offspring for me each year there after for the next 6 years, Scout was her final calf. Longevity is bred into Scout, just like her mother, she has a gentle disposition and a long producing life ahead of her. She sells with her first calf at her side, a stout Top Grade heifer calf and bred back to my bull consigned also to this sale. You will definitely want to seek this pair out sale day and take them home.
This female is from the heart of our heard. We purchased her from Pine Ridge Simmentals four years ago. This black white faced cow will surely catch your eye and what a pedigree to boot. She sales with her black white faced Beef Maker bull calf born 09-01-2014.
