When Only The Best Will Do

MCGP

Join Us in November.......

Please accept our invitation to join us at Blackwater Cattle Company for our 5th Annual Cattleman’s Kind Bull Sale on November 9 and 10. Come in early so you have plenty of time to look through the sale offering, relax around the campfires Friday evening, and join us for a family cooked meal that includes the best steaks and the best cakes you have ever eaten. Once again the Friday meal will be complimented with a home cooked Cajun Extravaganza prepared by our good friends Craig Neal and family from Morganza, Louisiana.

More Bulls Than Ever Before.......

Demand for quality Blackwater beef bulls has never been higher so you will find more bulls in this year’s sale than we have ever offered before!

More importantly, we have increased the number of bulls selling while at the same time continuing to improve the quality of our product.

The Program.......

We were in the commercial beef business long before we decided to start raising Brangus beef bulls, therefore our mindset is fueled by our background. Our breeding philosophy emphasizes performance, fertility, fleshing ease and udder quality, along with the ability of a cow to wean a heavy calf under range conditions year after year. Naturally thick, heavy muscled, deep bodied cattle that flesh easy, gain rapidly, and mature early are simply the most efficient, functional and profitable cattle in the commercial industry. These are the kind of cattle that perform and reproduce without high input costs and pay the bills when marketed across a scale. We believe it is our responsibility to genetically design our seedstock herd to thrive in a forage sensitive environment, and if so, their sons will as well. Maintaining a zero tolerance program we cull those females that fail to be accountable year in and year out. If our herd rises to those challenges their sons will do the same.

Naming Our Bulls.......

Same question every year. Why don’t we give our top bulls special and unique names? Fact is we do name our true herd sire prospects but only after they go through our sale ring, only if a given bull deserves recognition, and only with input from the new owners.

Commercial Females.......

We will have 500 Brangus and Super Baldie Brangus heifers available for private treaty sale beginning around May 1. They will be bred to our calving ease bulls from mid-December to mid-March. After palpation in late April we will sort the heifers in groups uniform for size, quality, color, and palpation. Refer to the information on page 29 for more details.

The Bulls.......

As seedstock Brangus breeders our single purpose is to raise beef bulls. In our book we believe in raising pounds, selling pounds, converting pounds of feed to pounds of gain, raising more pounds on grass, selling more pounds of muscle, marbling and maternal value, and putting more pounds of beef through the system on less inputs and more efficiency. Every bull in this sale has passed a strict Breeding Soundness Evaluation that includes a visual examination and semen test. We preach soundness of structure and adhere to that principle thru genetic design. There has not been a single bull that has had a hoof trimmed in this sale. All bulls have gone through our performance program and the impressive results of this program are noted for each bull selling. Note the dramatic changes we have made by selection pressure over the last five years. The results are summarized in the below chart. Unless otherwise noted, the weights and measures provided for all sale bulls are adjusted to a constant age point of either 205 days for weaning or 365 days for yearling, scrotal and ultrasound. When comparing our provided information to other sale groups this fall we simply ask you to realize our data has been adjusted to constant age endpoints using Beef Improvement Federation standards while other sale groups might provide actual weights or meaures. Becomes important when comparing data adjusted to 365 days of age versus data taken at 18 to 24 months of age.

We believe our bulls are accountable so we are not going to ask you to read through a pile of stuff discussing the merits of our bulls and the virtues of our program. We believe that treating people fairly is the only way we do business, character and integrity is very important, and God has blessed us by being in agriculture and the beef business. End of story. The bulls sell themselves! When only the best will do come see us November.

Registration Number: Bulls noted with “R” number are Registered Brangus. Those noted with a “UB” number are Ultra-Blacks, indicating they are a Brangus-Angus blend. “AX” recorded bulls are appendix registered purebred Brangus that have non-typical Brangus color pattern.

Polled/Scurs: Denotes bulls that are either smooth polled or have the presence of scurs or slick spots. Those bulls noted as “scurs” typically have had scurs removed post-weaning.

Pedigree: Denotes sire, dam, and maternal grandparents.

Summit Cow or Summit Sire: Are noted in pedigrees with the word Summit or the abbreviation (SC or SS). Initially, must maintain a calving interval of 380 days or less, weaning at least 3 calves. The weaning weight ratio for all calves must average at least 105%. Once a Summit Cow has earned her distinction she will always be noted as such. A sire is given Summit status once he has at least 5 daughters reach Summit Cow status.

Individual Performance Weight Per Day of Age (WDA): Expressed in pounds and calculated by dividing the actual yearling weight taken on weigh day by the number of days of age on weigh day.

Average Daily Gain (ADG): Expressed in pounds gained on a daily basis while animal on gain test. Calculated by taking the weight gained between weaning weigh date and yearling weigh date and dividing this weight by the number of days between those two weight points.

Birth Weight (BW): Actual weight at birth, expressed in pounds.

Weaning Weight (205): Weaning weight adjusted to a constant 205 days.

Takes into account differences in days of age at weaning and age of dam .

Weaning Weight (Ratio): A direct comparison of an individual to all other individuals in its weaning contemporary group. Expressed as a percentage with 100 being the average for the group.

Yearling Weight (365): Yearling weight adjusted to a constant 365 days.

Takes into account differences in days of age at yearling time, average daily gain post-weaning, and adjusted 205 weight.

Yearling Weight (Ratio): A direct comparison of an individual to all other individuals in its yearling contemporary group. Expressed as a percentage with 100 being the average for the group.

Scrotal Circumference (SC): Testicular circumference, measured in centimeters, and adjusted to 365 days of age.

Fat (FAT): Measured in inches and adjusted to 365 days.

Intramuscular Fat (IMF): Measured as a percentage and used as a predictor of genetic marbling value.

Ribeye Area (REA): Measured in square inches and used as a predictor of ribeye size.

ADG 3.78 REA 16.5 REA 0.68

Cooperator Code Date of Birth Generation Calving Ease EPD Gain Data Fall 2012 EPD

Expected Progeny Difference Expected Progeny Difference (EPD): The genetic predictor of how future progeny of each animal are expected to perform relative to the progeny of other animals listed in the breed database.

EPD Accuracy: Since all bulls in this catalog are non-parents, their accuracies are the lowest calculated by our national sire evaluation program.

Every EPD reported is either current or an interim EPD. An EPD noted with a “P” is a pedigree EPD which is the average of the parent’s EPDs. Calving Ease Direct (CED): It predicts the average difference in calving ease between selected sires when bred to first calf heifers. Expressed as a difference in percentage of unassisted births between sires when bred to first calf heifers with the larger number indicating greater calving ease.

Calving Ease Maternal (CEM): It predicts the average calving ease with which a sire’s daughters will calve as first-calf heifers when compared to daughters of a different sire. Expressed as a difference in percentage of unassisted births with the larger number indicating greater calving ease Birth Weight EPD (BW): Expressed in pounds, predicts calf size and calving ease.

Weaning Weight EPD (WW): Expressed in pounds, is a predictor of an animal’s ability to transmit weaning growth to its progeny.

Yearling Weight EPD (YW): Expressed in pounds, is a predictor of an animal’s ability to transmit yearling growth to its progeny.

Milk EPD (Milk): Predicts a sire’s genetic merit for milk and mothering ability as expressed in his daughters compared to daughters of other sires. In other words, it is that part of a calf’s weaning weight attributed to milk and mothering ability.

Maternal & Growth EPD (MG): Expressed in pounds, a genetic predictor of weaning weight by blending a combination of maternal milk and weaning weight value.

Scrotal Circumference EPD (SC): Measured in centimenters at yearling time, predicts testicular size.

Fat Thickness (FAT): Expressed in inches, is a predictor of transmitting ability for external fat thickness and correlates to fleshing ability and fat cover at harvest time.

Intramuscular Fat (IMF): Expressed as a percentage, is a predictor of transmitting ability for marbling or intra-muscular fat correlating to USDA quality grade at harvest time.

Ribeye Area (REA): Expressed in square inches, is a predictor of transmitting ability of ribeye size and overall muscle mass which is a key component in USDA yield grades.

Super heifer with the abilities to compete in the ring and certainly in the pasture.

Her sire is the lead Brangus bull for Genex Beef, and is rapidly earning the honors as one of the great Brangus sires used on a worldwide basis. Elegido is a full brother to Rock Star and OnStar and many have suggested he is the best of the brothers. This neat packaged heifer is a maternal sister to 192P4, the sensational donor mentioned as the dam of Lot 1. Our 192 cow family is well documented for carcass merit, maternal value, and generous pounds across the scale. This embryo heifer is a maternal sister to the impressive herd sire prospect selling as Lot 23. Their dam, CCC Ms Newsmaker 192J12, is the great cow that started our entire 192 clan at Blackwater and is currently a donor for David Burke in Louisiana. We have several sets of embryos from the great cow.

Certainly one of the easy donor prospects in this sale of standout females. One of the Top Five from her calf crop she represents a highly prolific family tribe with five sons offered in the bull section of this sale book. Since her sire, Nuff Said, has passed away the only means to infuse his monumental genetic merit will be through quality daughters and herd sire sons. BWCC Ms Nuff Said 487Y9 comes thru a favorite Lead Gun donor cow that claims the Summit Cow and donor cow 487J3 as the matriarch of this entire clan at Blackwater. After hitting the ground with an 80 lb. birthweight she adjusted to 739 lbs. at weaning and 903 lb. at yearling to ratio 108% and 104% respectively. Carcass measures are impressive as well with a 115% REA ratio and 102% IMF ranking. Good chance the Nuff Said daughters in this sale will be the last ones through our sale ring.

The first great Righteous daughter to sell to the public is the one we debated the longest concerning if she should sell! Very tough to part with a young prospect filled to the brim with breeding value, genetic merit, and long term worth for any program. Righteous is the bull pretty much everyone agrees is the best Revelation son in the world. The dam of this stunning heifer was the best from her age group and one we included in our IVF embryo program as a virgin heifer.

The pedigree EPDs calculated here suggest this heifer can be in the top 1% for WW, YW and MG, blended with a top 2% REA, 10% Milk, and 30% IMF. Get on the same cutting edge genetic plane as Blackwater with 000Z8.

A genuine beef heifer loaded with volume, mass, breeding merit and a definite favorite at Blackwater. Her pedigree is star studded with some of the all-time great cattle in breed history with famous names like Tank, Jethro, Something Special, Lead Gun, John Wayne, New Direction, 468G15, Cadence, and Macho.

Be hard to pack a pedigree with a more impressive resume. This big bodied heifer is moderate, wide, easy fleshing and promises greatness. Her 468 maternal line is one of the most sought after in the breed. In 2011 Female Sale we sold the pick of a set of baby heifers for $18,000 resulting in the selection of a 468 heifer. One has to wonder about the endless possibilities with this blend of Something Special and Miss Brinks 468G15. Calving ease, big performance, maternal value, and unlimited carcass merit rolled together in a great package.

Classic design certain to attract the attention from those wanting a red carpet halter prospect. Big timber, pretty fronted, and wide hip design with room for body expansion. Her dam calved at 24 months of age, calved again less than 12 months later, and now bred for her third February calf in consecutive years.

She has a great temperament and will be a fan favorite in this set of standout cattle. Cannot fail to mention the phenomenal contributions we expect from the 924 cow family by way of Rock Star. Rock Star is the “go to” bull and has never failed to impress and never failed to do his job. He is the easiest fleshing bull we have ever seen and the best natural service Blackwater and Mound Creek has ever used. The first Rock Star daughters just weaned their initial calves with outstanding results, big weights, and super breed back value.

Award winning style in a package that supplies red carpet design and pedigree stacked breeding value. Her heralded dam is an elite Summit Cow who produced MC Trademark 30X3, the junior herd sire creating a fantastic buzz around the breed owned by Thomas Show Cattle and Triple R Ranch. This well designed heifer is a three-quarter sister to Trademark and she is sired by the history making Nuff Said. Will not be many Nuff Said daughters ever sold around here so better take this option to pick up a great one. An embryo brother is one of our top bull calves born in the spring and we have retained a full sister. Most assuredly this youngster is destined for the top end of the cow herd.

If there is a sure fire, can’t miss heifer from this sale then bet on this one.

Everything her dam has done for us has been super while holding a calving interval of 368 days for eight calves. Seven of these calves have been first service AI sired and she is now pregnant again with an eighth AI sired calf due next spring. A full sister to 192Z is in our donor program and was in our IVF embryo program. The bull calf we consider the best from our 2012 spring born crop is sired by Rock Star and out of this full sister to BWCC Ms Nuff Said 192Z. You will find 13 bulls in this sale from the 192 cow family and three impressive heifers each representing our most prolific cow family and certainly one of the best in terms of quality and production.

Her maternal grand dam was the $43,000 high selling sale selection from the 2005 Mound Creek Female Sale. Collectively Lots 7, 10 and 11 offer proof of the superior breeding value of these Quiet Man daughters stemming through the great donor cow MC Ms Forefront 000N2.

The sire of 000Z2 is a big bodied, wide tracking, thick ended son of Tank we call Wide Track. His daughters are the cowman’s kind with great udder quality and superior calf raising value.

This paternal sister to Jethro also stems from the same 000 cow family that produced Jethro.

Each of these 000 family members trace back to GLC Ms Hoss 1000Z, one of the all-time great beef cows in any herd in any breed. 1000Z is closing in on 23 years of age and still roams the pastures at Mound Creek Ranch! She has 96 direct sons and daughters born with more cattle accounted to her lineage than we have time to count. If you see one with two or three zeros, or maybe the 1000 family then you can rest assured that individual traces to 1000Z. One of the all-time great performance and carcass sires is MC New Direction 000M24 who is destined to be a Summit Sire and the bull that sired the #1 yearling weight Trait Leader known as Revelation.

Her dam is a maternal sister to the grand dam of MC Something Special 129W14 each representing the best of quality genetics from the great donor MC Ms 344 Travel 129M9. The high selling bulls and high selling sire group at the 2012 Mound Creek Bull Sale were sired

by Something Special. This open heifer is a strong candidate for the “best of” sale honors in a tough field of super good cattle. Her Jethro sired dam brought $17,000 in the 2012 Mound Creek Female Sale and has a future in our donor herd. MC Ms Too Kool 129Y49 will be the first Too Cool daughter to sell and will be the kind to earn a pass to the donor pasture or IVF program.

We continue to believe Too Cool’s greatest contributions will come from the fantastic daughters he is putting on the ground.

Classy and elegantly made show heifer prospect with the style and balance to attract the guys (you know, the judges). Her maternal grand dam is an elite Summit Cow and her dam now has her third straight spring calf due next year. Fertility has always been a strong suit of this good family, along with udder quality and carcass merit. In our 2011 Female Sale Flight Deck created quite a buzz when his first daughters paraded through the sale ring with strong buyer appreciation and demand. We are now looking forward to those first Flight Deck daughters to calve. Study this pedigree and notice Flight Deck is a direct son of the cow most consider the #1 cow in the entire breed which also makes him a maternal brother to the new legend Nuff Said.

If Nuff Said daughter is not enough, and you want more proof then look no further than Lot 86! The Rock Star son selling in the bull section is out of the same cow that produced Lot 15.

You will note his adjusted weaning weight is the sale high of 940 lbs., a 1490 lb. yearling weight, and an 18.2 in. ribeye area!!! Their dam is now a Summit Cow with three impressive calves in a row. The maternal grandsire of this lot is one of the most incredibly thick and high performing Angus bulls in their breed history. Nuff Said and high performing Summit Cow.

She offers a different twist compared to most of the families found at Blackwater and represents one of the most prolific producing clans in the Suhn herd in Kansas. Even though she will not be a show ring favorite you must appreciate her body mass, performance, fleshing ability and prospective genetic predictors. Her pedigree EPD values compared to active dams will rank in the breed’s top 1% for WW, YW and MG, top 5% for pure Milk, and top 5% for REA with staying in the top 20% for IMF. Of course she is a sister to Righteous and Resolute whose sire is the #1 YW bull in the entire breed and also #5 for WW, #10 for SC, and #14 for REA.

stockmen know what we mean. The great ones just seem to know it. Nuff Said certainly did, and he was right. He came along when the breed needed a difference maker, and he rose to the call. Now, he has been used worldwide and his genetic worth will contribute across the globe.

In our program his early daughters are now in our donor program and his sons are junior herd sires. Rare a week passes a friend or fellow breeder fails to call and let us know how the best ones they ever raised are sired by Nuff Said.

Our friends in South America specifically requested, and practically insisted, we ship a tank full of Nuff Said down for their national distribution. Daily, we get calls requesting more Nuff Said semen. Having to turn those requests down until we can figure out how the remaining semen will be used.

Without question Nuff Said is the most consistent breeding bull we have ever used. You know what will hit the ground, you know how they’ll look, and you know they will be real good. Now we know his daughters are bringing some great calves to the weaning pen, doing so with quality udders, and breeding back when they are supposed to. The sons are performing at the same high rate. Last year the Nuff Said sons were our high selling sire group averaging $8300. The good stockman realize their value! A great group of sons and daughters are represented this year as well. The 24 sons we have in the sale averaged 781 lbs. at weaning, 1308 lbs. as yearlings, 36.7 cm. for scrotal, 16.1 in. average ribeye area, and 5.1% IMF values!

Nuff Said has now become a “great artist.” Like their paintings, the Nuff Said sons and daughters will just keep getting higher. Don’t miss this opportunity to capture his genetic worth before those “paintings” skyrocket in value.

Reference MC Something Sire R10154314 Polled

Special 129W14 Gen: 3

fewer can claim the levels of his weights and measures. At three and half years of age Something Special has already blazed a famous trail and is currently being used on a worldwide basis. His sons are in high demand by good stockmen around the country and his daughters have the look of great cows.

In 2010 we purchased Something Special for $50,000 at Mound Creek Ranch, and then brought him home to the Blackwater pastures where he is extensively used in embryo transfer, artificial insemination, and natural service use in each of our two breeding seasons. His early progeny proof have already earned him a Top Five Ranking for IMF value while also boasting a top 10% rank for WW, YW, REA, and a top 15% rank for MG and SC. Average adjusted birthweight for 207 progeny is a mere 79 lbs. Mound Creek sold his dam for $47,000 and she is a maternal sister to the sensational herd sire prospect selling as Lot 136.

Our MCGP Alliance Partner, Mound Creek Ranch, sold the first Something Special sons in their Annual Bull Sale last March with great expectations. Five of the Top Ten high selling bulls were sired by Something Special, including the $30,000 high selling lot. The Something Special sons averaged $10,750 to lead all sire group averages. We have 34 sons in this catalog. Their weights and measures continue to prove his worth averaging 733 lbs. at weaning, 1265 lbs. at yearling, 38.0 cm. scrotal circumference, 16.0 in. for ribeye area, and 5.3% for IMF values! As good as the sons are, we believe the real breeding worth might be through his phenomenal daughters. They just have the look of making a great set of cows starting this coming spring calving season.

Herd Sire Candidate • Great success story in this super nice Something Special son.

• From a moderate birth weight he turned the jets on during gain test posting 4 lbs. per day • You will find a big top in him with added body length and thickness of stifle.

• His dam calved first before her second birthday, bred back on first service AI, and is now safe with her third spring calf.

• Maternal grand dam is a great lesson on fertility recently weaning her tenth spring calf and safe in calf again while maintaining a calving interval of 365 days!

• Both dam and grand dam represented in this pedigree also have perfect udder design, maintain easy fleshing value, and easy temperament.

• Great data set across the board.

His claim to fame will be through great daughters who just weaned their first calves with incredible udder quality, red carpet calves, and excellent breed back rates. The high selling bull in last year’s sale and the second high selling bull in the 2012 Mound Creek sale are Rock Star sons.

After using 415W for a season he injured himself so we put him on a set of commercial cows and let him sink or swim. After we got this first set of calves on the ground we knew he needed to be back on our registered females. His first calf crop earned him a balanced set of EPD values along with a moderate, big ribbed, thick ended set of sons and daughters that are the right kind.

Bodine sold in 2010 as a member of the record setting sire group to sell at Mound Creek. At that sale Something Special sold for $50,000, OnStar for $49,000, Elegido came in at $30,000, and Bodine was in at $15,000. Since then Bodine’s dam has made Summit Cow and is now a key member of their donor program.

The Bodine sons in this sale have quality, carcass, and performance numbers.

• He is the most unique bull we have ever raised, and a genuine beef bull loaded with thickness, muscle, volume, substance of bone, and carcass merit.

• This scale crusher takes honors with the heaviest yearling weight in the sale, and also earns the distinction as the widest topped, biggest butted, and heaviest boned.

• His sire left us with several extraordinary sons like Something Special, Rock Star, OnStar, Elegido, X Factor, Bodine, and El Patron.

• Dam of 535Y is Real Deal out of New Direction and is bred identical to the dam of the $28,000 MC Hard Rock 708X7.

• She has weaned her third spring calf, will probably earn Summit Cow honors, and now is a donor at Pennridge Farms.

Nimitz of Brinks 75L12 MB Ms Nimitz 129R MB Ms Big Cat 129M3 (SC) Revelation was one of our top sire groups in 2011 and this year we have another solid set of sons that averaged 706 lbs. at weaning, 1314 lbs. at yearling with big ribeyes and ample levels of marbling. Revelation is currently ranked #1 in the entire breed for Yearling Weight, #4 for Weaning Weight, #14 for Ribeye area, and #10 for Scrotal. He will likely move into the trait leader list for maternal value once he reaches a higher accuracy level for milk with more daughters reporting weaned calves. We like his daughters due to their impressive fleshing value and quality of udder soundness. Just weaned a super set of ET calves off of a couple of Revelation daughters that are some of the best in the spring calf crop.

• While nursing, his dam was in and out of embryo transfer and therefore he came off at weaning time with a substandard weaning weight.

• Once on gain test he turned up the volume and ended up as one of the best gaining bulls of the entire sale offering.

• His impressive dam is a full sister to Rock Star, Elegido, and OnStar each out of the phenomenal 924 donor.

MC Freight Liner 2H10 MB Ms Freight Liner 541K Ms BB Right Promise 541H46 We held our first bull sale at Blackwater in 2008 and in each of these sales, including this year’s event, we have sold a good set of Real Deal sons.

In two of these bull sales Real Deal sons were the high selling bulls and the high selling sire group.

In 2011 our high selling bull was out of a Real Deal daughter. The cow/calf operators really like the Real Deal sons because they hold up in rough conditions and do a great job in getting their cattle bred up. The Real Deal sons also sire plenty of extra weight, as expected, since he is the #4 bull in the breed for yearling weight EPD and a top 20 bull for weaning weight. The sons and brothers to Real Deal are also adding extra pounds and also are the kind to hold up under adverse breeding conditions.
