RETAINED BREEDING INTEREST
Vanhove Cattle Company and Doris Cattle retains the right to two successful flushes on every female in the sale, at the new owner’s convenience and the seller’s expense.
BREEDING GUARANTEE
All females are sold under the condition “safe in calf” as attested to by a licensed veterinarian and sell with no further guarantee. The ultrasound results reported are as accurate as possible. No guarantee is given that bred females will deliver a live calf.
PREGNANCY TESTS
Careful consideration was given when selecting the cattle for the sale in reference to A.I. service. We feel that the majority of the cattle selling are safe to their A.I. date or the approximate due date that is given. Please make sure that you do not confuse A.I. service date with approximate due date. Some of the females that were only exposed to the pasture sires are given an approximate due date in correlation with the vet examination. While we cannot guarantee A.I. service, we are confident that a large part of the offering is A.I. safe. Any additional pregnancy testing will be available on the sale supplement sheet.
Ladies and gentlemen, it is our distinct privilege to present one of the most unique investment opportunities to EVER be offered from the Vanhove Cattle Company program. The decision was not taken lightly, and it wouldn’t be accurate if I told you that it didn’t hurt to sell a piece of 1129. She is one of the neatest animals to look at, and her build and ability to walk around, while still having all the extras you’re gonna need to raise champions, makes her the needle in the haystack.

It’s not a regular occurrence that I bring cows to the auction, but when I do I want to bring ones that I feel are my very best to offer. 236 paints a remarkable picture with her high tidy neck, chubby forerib, tremendous underline balance, square hip, and soft lower joints that plant on incredibly big feet. I find it particularly impressive that a female this maternal bred can be so wide behind her blade, crisp over her loin edge, and carry her width down the seat of her pants to the surface. A coming 4-year-old that is just entering the prime of her life and ready to get to work for you.

Show winning look up front, wide from the top of her blade to her pinset, tremendously bold and soft in her rib cage, dense in the seat of her pants, and plants on remarkable bone and foot size. Mother of 271 claimed Reserve Champion honors at OYE a handful of years back, and I expect nothing more than the continuation of excellence out of her young daughter. Coming four years old, this female is ready to get to work and be the difference you’ve been searching for in your program.

If you are a frequent traveler to Madison SD in September, you will know that the mainstay of the Vanhove program is the A310 cow family. 0172 was thought by many to be the next stage of evolution in this powerful genetic line. This young donor, in her first IVF cycle, had a 45,000 dollar high seller in 2024 sired by Here I Am. These Monopoly cows are flat raising the kind of cattle that win at every level and the build of 0172 will compliment the leading sires of the industry in 2025. We offer here a proven young donor backed by a cow family that is drenched in consistency and quality. These opportunities do not come around all the time. To have the best sale, you have to offer the best. 0172 comes from deep within the heart of the Vanhove program. We have the utmost faith in her powerful generating abilities.

She has that long pretty neck like most of the MABs and is super moderate with plenty of bone that matches her frame size. To me, the fact that she is smaller made opens up options to matings that will complement her feminine features and get a little bump of power from the bull side.

Here’s some things you need to know about this really good Maternal Made. She is a full sister in blood to the incomparable RCC 1 Donor, and I have sold a bunch of sibs out of the Kelli Clone Donor for a lot of money, so I have no doubt that this heifer will not only continue but expand upon that tradition. As expected from the pedigree, this heifer has a little more maternal punch than her sibs. That opens up more mating options to continue to make popular Maine cattle that will win in the showring and in the pasture. This one is the real deal.

You’ll like every one set of breds in the sale out of the Kelli Clone 75-1. This one takes the clubby look and stature to a little different level with her mass and thickness. She is extra wide over her rib and back into her top. You need to watch her move away from you to get the full appreciation of just how wide she is. The speck of white enhances her look, and with future matings, can be an asset. You need to own one (or more) of these out of 75-1.

A truly full circle FCDC moment here; selling HALF INTEREST of your CHOICE of these incredible identical twin sister females. The mother of these two females, 802, was a previous sale feature in this very sale, where she sold at a premium to find her forever home in Ree Heights. Since then, 802 has fired on all cylinders producing high selling show steers, show winners, and future donors. These Perfection daughters find themselves amongst the latter category. Incredible cattle in the way they tie a high neck onto a soft shoulder assembly. Tremendous how these females open up so much horse power behind their blade and in the seat of their pants, yet can set down so soft at the surface. Shorthorn marked, hair for days, and the bone required to make them high dollar show cattle - I truly don’t know how it can get much better than these two females.

This cattle here is what dreams are made of when you start talking about one that’s busted apart behind her blade, wide and square from the top of her blade to her pins, remarkably deep twisted and has tremendous spread at the ground. Then you start talking about how maternal this female reads in her jaw structure, clean down the base of her throat latch, high and tidy in her chest floor, and opens a dense forerib into an underline that is necessary for winning the biggest shows. Couple that all with big HAIRY legs that are agile and accurate in every single step setting down on a foot and ankle set that reads to go the distance. Perfect shorthorn marked, TH clean, incredible livestock that can be mated to any bull you choose. I could go on and on because I truly believe this is one
Oh My!! I’m not sure how to even start to describe this red HGTA heifer other than to say she is incredible. I’ve not had a chance to be a part of such a unique animal very often and am honored to offer her to partner with you. She is massive at every angle, giant top, expansive rib cage, great natural width and the extra muscle shape in an ideal pattern. Red colored cattle are all the rage right now, but finding one this elite doesn’t come along very often. There’s some good, honest cattlemen that have made a pile of money off of a great donor called Lil’ Red.

Shelby, the past Simmental Junior National Champion, has been at the bottom side of several Simmental and Maine matings alike in the last few years.

Here’s some background on an exceptional sale feature. This heifer came from Chad Thompson’s herd and her dam has had a profound impact as a donor in his program. That cow stamps her steer calves with impeccable looks, and Chad has hung banners at several majors with her sons. So here’s your chance to get in on those genetics and income generation. This IGWT is beautiful….not even sure what to point out because she’s outstanding everywhere. Super balanced and proportionate in her middle third, big topped and extra rib shape when you get behind her. Don’t want to skip the fact that she pregged with a Fusion heifer calf in tow.

Evaluators of show livestock build will find this female and dig her as much as I do. Cattle that are this tidy and long necked, this elevated in their sternum, and this soft and correct in the angle of their shoulder and knee, generally aren’t the ones that open up incredibly wide behind their blade, massive in the turn to their rib, and soft in the center portion of their body. This female is so incredibly crisp over the edge of her loin, long in her hip design, wide in her pinset, dense through her quarter and stifle, and has the best hind leg that you will watch walk through the sale arena in Sioux Falls. Everything puts me all in on this female ; the white star on her forehead, the white flank, the seamless design, the ideal cattle structure, and the overwhelming maternal power she possesses.

I wanted to bring you a representative sampling of breds out of our prolific donor 7104 and Maine influenced sires. The 7104 Donor has made dramatic impact with an array of Angus bulls and with Simmental matings, especially to Broker, and has left a long trail of high dollar, high sellers in my Pasture Sales and privately. So here comes your introduction to her talents on the Maine side. All of these 7104s will have the same look, maternal presence and huge bodied. This heifer in particular shows a touch more muscle expression down her top and rump. That will play to her favor in future matings, for sure! Be the first to get in on this new genetic wrinkle.

This one is awesome!! She is triple clean and flat out good. You may not have considered her pedigree as “maternal” but she is an outlier with Club Calf Momma written all over her. I love how dense and compact she is, but is also super refined in her maternal features. Her top, hip and bone all seem to match her framework in ideal balance. She’s coming with a May We All bull calf. If you are serious about making an impact with your show cattle, you have to own this female.

Her shoulder design and front end is what sells her but still reads with plenty of mass and volume to make great cattle.

Here’s a Shorthorn marked Perfection daughter that has such a nice look. Upheaded, impeccable front third, smooth shouldered that sure makes her a maternal option, but then is big hipped and lower stifle begs to breed her for a breed steer. I think there are breeding options galore on this red one. Either way, buy her!!

One of the real complete Char influenced females in the offering. The smokey heifer has lots of mass and power especially as you watch her move away. Big top and big hip and yet is exceptional in the set to her hock and pastern. Study her pedigree, and you’ll catch that the great Charlene cow is part of the reason you’ll like her, too. Likely coming with a Lovin Size heifer calf that will bring immediate return to this investment.

Here’s some attention grabbing chrome on a good MAB sired bred. Study her rib shape and perfect structure, and she is super level out over her hip. Breed her to black clubby bulls to calm down the color or get creative with a colored up mating to get something super noticeable. You decide, but either way this one is just flat good and will be fun to genetically mess with in the future.

The maternal design is so right on this lady. She profiles beautifully and is so nice in her head, neck and shoulder set. She gets really bold from her rib back and is level in her lines both across her top and undercarriage as well. Maybe the coolest thing about her is coming with a Data Maker heifer calf that will likely carry on the cow quality of this girl.
