I challenge you to look at this catalog from front to back. This is one of the deepest sets of Angus Bulls I’ve ever been able to be a part of. All bulls in this year’s offering have been genetically tested to increase the accuracy of their EPDs. Additionally, they have all passed a breeding soundness exam to ensure our customers are getting a quality investment.
Buying a Circle G bull is more than buying a bull, it’s investing in a program. We look forward to seeing you November 14, at 1PM EDT.

LOT 1 | CIRCLE G BREAKTHROUGH 3065
• Lot 1 is out of the exciting foundation donor, EPF Rita 2663, a female that is built upon predictable performance genetics and true to the Circle G history, producing outstanding phenotype. The “3065” bull is the best made, most complete Breakthrough son that you will have an opportunity to view. This bull has “the look”, connecting perfectly from his shoulder into his back and is dead level as he transitions from his loin into a long, square hip. The depth and bold build of his rib shape, from his shoulder into his flank, is impressive when you study him from all the angles. The challenge he presents is to find a hole. He is COMPLETE
• Study the calving ease profile with double digit CED and -.4 BW combined with top 2% WW and top 1% YW. Heat will not challenge him with a HS EPD of .15, top 5%. Look over the impressive carcass traits and $Value indexes; CW @ 96, MARB @ 1.52, RE @ 1.30, $M @ 71, $W @ 96, $F @ 140, $G @100, $B @ 240 and $C @ 382 and don’t overlook his Tenderness score of 38.
This is a BIG-TIME herd sire that will be a sale day favorite.
• Here is the flushmate to Lot 1. What a pair of Breakthrough sons being offered! Study the length of spine and big foot connected to a sound structural build. “3061” follows his brother as a true calving ease sire with breed leading growth. Look at the CED @ 12 and BW @ .1 with an attractive spread to top 10% WW and top 5% YW.
• The consistency of this mating is demonstrated across the EPD profile. Once again, we have an impressive carcass EPD profile with CW @ 76, MARB @ 1.57, RE @ 1.26 with an advantage in $M. Make sure you don’t overlook the breed leading $Value indexes ending with $B @ 228 and $C @ 379 both in the top 1%.
• Cowmen, make sure you observe this true calving ease sire in Lot 3. You have to love his CED @ 16, BW @ -.9 and yet, he still maintains attractive growth figures in the top 20%. When you move down the columns looking for carcass traits, “2212” is impressive with MARB @ 1.63, RE @ 1.39, $B @ 227 and $C @ 362.
• This son of the powerful donor, HR Rita 9584, has the foundation to change a calf crop both genetically and phenotypically.
• You will not have to search hard to find this bull. He jumps right out in any contemporary group he is in. Yes, he is that fun to look at. Study his dam, Blackcap 4H64, and she is as powerful and attractive as any cow, in any breed, that you will find.
• Study the numbers... top 10% WW and YW, with top 15% HS & CW, and then top another 10% MARB. He shows that big powerful back with a RE EPD of 1.44, which places him in the top 1%. Don’t overlook the big $M score of 88 with $B @ 208 and $C @ 358. Here is a bull that will make you proud to own every day.
• This is the way to mate Breakthrough. Blend his smooth shoulder and look, with a big, soft bodied, wide made, Power Play female.
• Top 4% for WW @ 90 and YW @ 158, combined with top 10% CW, top 1% RE @ 1.39 and look at all the yellow highlighted $Value indexes.
This is an excellent bull to use on cows.
Flush mate to Lots 7, 8 and 9.
• Calving ease son of the foundation donor, Wilks Rita 9138. Study the numbers; WW @ 89, YW @ 150, MARB @ 1.23, RE @ 1.11, $M @ 82, $C @ 323. This is one of the best built, softest made bulls in the sale.
Flush mate to Lots 6, 8 and 9.
• Now this is a nice combination. A true calving ease profile with CED @ 13, BW @-.6, without sacrificing MARB @ 1.73 with $B @ 213 and $C @ 347.
Flush mate to Lots 6, 7 and 9.
• This is the moderate birth version of the flush brothers. Take special note of these figures... MARB @ 1.38, RE @ 1.08, $M @ 80, $B @ 208, $C @ 350.
Flush mate to Lots 6, 7 and 8.
• WOW. Do you need a heifer bull that doesn’t give up any valuable traits? Look at these figures. CED @ 16, BW @ -2.1, MARB @ 1.49, RE @ 1.45, $B @ 209, $C @ 331. And this bull, like his brothers, has the cowman’s look.
DBICONIC
Flushmate to Lot 11
• Have you ever walked into a pen of cattle and just had to sit back and take a minute to analyze exactly what you were looking at because their “kind” just blew you away? That is the Iconic x Shorita sons. Lot 10 is so bold in his rib shape and center body dimension, and he connects that to a big top and loin edge, with extra power and shape in his hip all the way down to his stifle.
• I’d call this bull a load, and the best part is... his calving ease profile with top 4% WW and YW growth. As a bonus, MARB @ 1.55 puts him in the top 3% with $B @210 and $C @ 313.
ICONICG95SONS
LOT 11 | CIRCLE G ICONIC 2145
Flushmate to Lot 10
• As we continue with the Iconic brothers, “2145” could be even deeper sided and have even more chest width and total rib dimension than his brother. The consistency in their phenotype and genetic evaluation traces back to the foundation donor, G A R Complete N281. This female has truly shaped angus history.
• Let’s study the numbers; CED @ 13, BW @ .1, MARB @ 1.53, $G @ 93 and $B @ 198. This is one of the highest scoring bulls for phenotype I have in my notes. I am confident you will love him too.
ICONIC SONS
• Check out this Iconic son that I have scored exceptionally well for phenotype. “2139” is out of an excellent donor female, Blackbird 8479, and he carries the economically important traits that Angus cattle possess.
• Look at the numbers; CED @ 17, BW @ -2.4, MARB @ 1.32, RE @ .95. And it’s all in an attractive package that displays powerful muscle shape, robust rib dimension and base width that transitions into added growth, performance and fleshing ability.
Flushmate to Lot 14.
• These 2 brothers could have more famous females in their pedigree than any other bulls in the offering. These donors are famous because of the contributions they have made to advance the breed. Cows such as, MCATL Blackbird 831-1378, Sandpoint Blackbird 8809, SJH Complete of 6108 1504, DRMCTR 1I1 Rita 6108.
• Study the figures; top 25% WW top 30% YW, MARB @ 1.76, $C 317 and a powerful look and build.
Flushmate to Lot 13.
• As we look at the second Iconic brother let’s look at the famous sires in this pedigree that have changed the breed. Musgrave 316 Stunner, LD Capitalist 316, V A R discovery 2240, V A R Generation 2100, Connealy Consensus 7229, Summitcrest Complete 1P55. The performance and predictability are present in both bulls, they are ready to advance your program.
LOT 15 | CIRCLE G ICONIC 3025
Flushmate to Lots 16, 17 and 18.
• The first of 4 flush brothers out of the cornerstone donor at Circle G, EXAR Princess 8575. “3025” has the wow factor with his perfect balanced appearance, length of spine, big shapely back and loin, and extra body dimension. This is all supported by big feet and added bone size.
• You must appreciate the calving ease profile combined with an impressive MARB @ 1.75, $C @ 324. I have this bull scored very high and the good cowman will agree and add him to the list of favorites.
Flushmate to Lots 15, 17 and 18.
• When you study this bull, you notice his advantage in growth, WW and YW, both in the top 10%. Impressive across the line as we transition to the carcass EPDs and $Value indexes, with unanimously running in the top 10%. Don’t pass up the tenderness score of 54 on “2244”.
Flushmate to Lots 15, 16 and 18.
• This long yearling brother could be the best balanced in his genomic traits amongst the group. Let’s study his numbers; CED @ 11, BW @ 1.1, WW @ 88, YW @ 157, CW @ 74, MARB @ 1.17, RE @ 1.20 $C @ 330.
• As you study him in person, or on the video, you will see he is stout and burly in his overall build. I’d say he is rugged and wide with a bigger foot and bone circumference compared to his brothers.
Flushmate to Lots 15, 16 and 17.
• As we conclude this set of flush brothers, you will notice this is the up headed attractive bull in the group. The length of body, length of neck, smooth transition from his shoulder through his forerib, into a big deep side, makes him the one that catches your eye.
• Study his figures and he is equally impressive, top 15% for WW and YW, big scrotal EPD @ 2.0, top 4% for hair shed, MARB @ 1.47, $B @ 203, $C @ 333. This is a great set of Iconic sons that will add performance and consistency.
ICONIC SONS
19
CIRCLE G ICONIC 3051
Flushmate to Lot 20.
• The first of two Iconic sons out of the donor Bridges All In 523. “3051” is the calving ease version with CED @ 11, BW @ -.4 with an attractive spread to WW and YW in the top 10%. Don’t overlook the marbling in the top 10% @ 1.26 and $W @ 90, which puts him in the top 2% and $G @ 83 which is top 10%.
Flushmate to Lot 19.
• Are you looking for a bull that can be an outlier? Check out the tenderness score of 12. This bull can create calves for a branded beef program with his top 10% marbling EPD and his attractive genomic score for tenderness.

Flushmate to Lot 22.
• We begin the Veracious section with two powerful flush mates out of another cornerstone donor here at Circle G, “5520”. As we study the genomic profile, both coming two’s are suited for cow herd use; WW and YW in the top 10%, CW @ 71, MARB @ 1.28, RE @ 1.33 with an attractive $B @ 215 $C @ 331.
• Analyze the phenotype, and you realize how deep sided and powerfully built “2199” is, also being wide based with added muscle dimension. I’ve seen many Veracious sons and these two brothers will rival any of them on muscle and power.
Flushmate to Lot 21.
• Study the phenotype. “2207” is bold in his forerib shape, with added arc and curvature to his rib cage, tying into a big back, all supported by big feet and a stout bone structure.
• Perfectly positioned as a cow bull, we love his advantage in carcass figures. CW @ 70, MARB @ 1.50, RE @ 1.51, $B @ 227 and $C @ 356. This is a great set of full brothers that can add the power, performance, and carcass value to your herd.
Flushmate to Lots 24, 25 and 26.
• We enter the next set of flush brothers out of the power donor, Blackcap 4H64. “2183” is suited for cow herd use only.

HPCA VERACIOUS
Flushmate to Lots 23, 25 and 26.

Flushmate to Lots 23, 24 and 26.
• Check out this stout made, moderate birth Veracious son that has an advantage in CW @ 72, with over 1.1 for marbling. He also boasts the highest $F @ 131 in this group of brothers.
Flushmate to Lots 23, 24 and 25.
• We conclude this set of flush mate bulls with a moderate birth, balanced trait bull, that when you look at his data, you notice the top 10% for SC, HS, MILK, $G, $B. Don’t overlook the big ribeye EPD of 1.25 that puts him in the top 4%. If you want consistency and quality in your calf crop, gather all four of these bulls up and watch your calf crop evolve.
VERACIOUS SONS
LOT 27 | CIRCLE G VERACIOUS 3048
Flushmate to Lots 28 and 29.
• We enter the last group of Veracious flush brothers out of the proven donor Elia 6348. “3048” is moderate in his frame size, with a wide chest floor, extra rib dimension and depth, combined with added muscle shape. As we look at his figures, you notice top 15% for YW, MILK and CW. Move across the page and you’ll find MARB @ 1.27 and RE @ 1.14, placing him in the top 10%, along with the $Value indexes $F, $G, $C and don’t overlook $B @ 205.
Flushmate to Lots 27 and 29.
• The first of 2 calving ease bulls from the same mating, “3038” has the same moderation in frame size with a powerful build as you study the muscle dimension over his top and through his hip. The best term to describe him is balanced, and that applies to the genomic profile as well. Let’s look at the figures; CED @ 10, BW @ .3, top 20% for WW and YW, HS top 1%, MARB @ 1.37, RE @ 1.01, $W top 15% $G, top 5% $B and $C top 10%.
Flushmate to Lots 27 and 28.
• We conclude the Veracious sons with another moderate framed bull that is wide, deep and stout, supported by good feet and sound structural build.

We complete the profile with top 10% MARB top 3% $W, top 10% $G, top 15% $B.
LOT 30 | CIRCLE G RATIFIED 3087
Flushmate to Lots 31 and 32.
• We kick off the Poss Ratified sire section with three flush brothers out of the donor female, Rita 8177. “3087” is massive in his rib shape. Many would describe him as soggy built and he compliments that with extra muscle shape in his loin, hip and stifle. If you need a rugged built, burly bull that adds weight to a calf crop, this is a great landing spot.
Flushmate to Lots 30 and 32.
• The theme stays the same. These brothers have that big, deep sided rib shape that allows for added weight and translates into easy fleshing daughters that require less input costs to survive tough conditions. Study the top 10% for both WW and YW.
Flushmate to Lots 30 and 31.
• As I contemplate how to describe this bull, I’m not sure Mr. Gresham will approve but this bull is sappy bellied! You must really appreciate the rib dimension, depth of side and wide chest floor as he ties it all together on a big foot and powerful bone size. Look at the figures; WW @ 94, YW @ 170 with a tenderness genomic score of 17, I can assure you this bull is very intriguing.
• Look at the Ratified son out of Wilks Evergreen 2346. Consistency is the key phrase as “3125” follows his sire with added rib and belly shape with above average muscle dimension.
• Let’s study the figures; top 10% WW @ 84, top 15% YW @ 141, top 1% CW @ 90, top 10% MARB @ 1.26, top 10% RE @ 1.09, top 15% $M @ 80, top 5% $W @ 83, top 1% $F @ 139, top 10% $G @85, top 2% $B @ 223, top 1% $C @ 369.
• Look at this Ratified son out of the foundation donor EXAR Princess 8575. Study the length of spine and smooth transition from his should to his hip. And then throw in his added muscle shape, and he’s the total package.
• Let’s look at the data; calving profile with CED @ 10, BW @ 1 and a big spread transition to WW @ 88 and YW @ 151. As we drop down to evaluate the carcass EPDs ans $Value indexes, “3286” checks all the boxes; CW @ 78, MARB @ 1.29, RE @ 1.11, $W top 2%, $F top 4%, $G top 10%, $B @ 213 and $C @ 346.
G SUBSTITUTE 3021
Flushmate to Lots 36, 37, 38, 39 and 40.
• We begin the section of No Substitute sons with a group of flush brothers out of the foundation donor, Wilks Rita 9138. “3021” leads off as a picture bull with “the look”. He has the correct proportional build and transitions from the front one third of his body to his stout square hip. The muscle shape over his top and into his hip and stifle is defined and pronounced and if you like the rugged, burly kind then this set of flush mates will meet your needs.
• Study the data; top 3% WW @ 92, top 2% YW @ 164, top 2% CW @ 87, top 4% RE @ 1.23, top 1% $F @ 142, top 2% $B @ 220 and top 4% $C @ 339.
Flushmate to Lots 35, 37, 38, 39 and 40.
• Staying consistent to the mating, here is another stout made, rugged built No Substitute that has the look that cattlemen love and will make your neighbors jealous.
• Study the data; top 10% for WW and YW, top 3% CW @ 83, top 2% RE @ 1.36, top 2% $F @ 135 with a genomic score for tenderness at 36!
Flushmate to Lots 35, 36, 38, 39 and 40.
• I’m going to sound like a broken record but once again, we have a bull true to the mating... stout, wide, deep, and sound structured that has the cattlemen’s look.
• The data highlights reveal top 15% RE @ 1.01, top 15% $F @ 112, top 15% $B @ 184.
Flushmate to Lots 35, 36, 37, 39 and 40.
• Do you want to have calves that smash the scales down? Check out “3019”. He is the bigger and longer spined one of the flushmate brothers.
• Now study the EPD profile; top 1% WW @ 104, top 1% YW @ 182, top 1% CW @ 104, top 1% RE @ 1.43, top 1% $F @ 155. There are a lot of #1 percentiles in this bull’s profile and he is sure to make an impression on you.
Flushmate to Lots 35, 36, 37, 38 and 40.
• Here is a bull built for just cows and when you see him I’m sure you will agree that he is all power and muscle.
• Let’s review the data; Top 3% WW @ 92, top 1% YW @ 170, top 3% CW @ 83, top 2% $F @ 135.
Flushmate to Lots 35, 36, 37, 38 and 39.
• The concluding member of the flush is built just for cows. He has the consistent body type and build, with being wide, stout and attractive on the profile. The data suggests that he will create calves that weigh heavy and look the part.
• Digging into the data we find top
1% CW
• I can say that “2174” is a WOW factor bull and a contender for my top phenotypic score in this offering. If there was a vote for the people’s choice champion, he would be in the final 3. This bull is moderate in his size, wide based from his chest floor to his hip, with so much muscle shape up high. I love his transition from shoulder to forerib, not mention his loin to hip is perfect. I appreciate his soft center dimension, big feet, and the added flex he has at the ground.
• This bull has all the right parts in all the right places, and he has the potential to change a generation in one calf crop. I forgot to mention he is calving ease and over 1.0 for marbling.
BIG TIME prospect.
