WelcomeAll,

We want to thank each and every person who has taken the time to reach out, flip through the sale book, call with a question or show support for our family in any way. What a crazy year 2023 was! Our family was blessed beyond measure, despite – just like you – facing the extremes that are thrown at the agriculture community. As always, we push through and march on. We hope your start to 2024 has been healthy, happy and prosperous. It’s an exciting time to be in this business. The market is strong, the board has stayed on the right side, and moisture has been more than adequate. With all that being said, we are enthusiastic about offering this set of cattle and we hope y’all like them as much as we do.

The females we’ve selected to offer you are really good, folks – simply put. They have been through three rounds of screening: 1) a quality sort at weaning, 2) a repro-tract score pre-breeding, and 3) a final sort based on preg check. These 30 females are the very best we can assemble and nothing has been held back. They are an accumulation of our very best cow families and our newest and freshest genetics. This entire set spent the summer on grass with free choice mineral and a cobalt block. Three weeks before pictures, we started to hand feed a protein pellet at 6lbs/head/day. They have been on high-quality haylage through the winter and have never seen a drop of corn. All females will sell wormed, poured, vaccinated and vet-confirmed pregnant. They are ready for grass.

The bulls are stout, rugged and ready. Our close friends at Round Prairie Feeders have done a knockout job yet again developing these bulls on a high-forage diet. They won’t melt; you have our word. There is diversity amongst the set – the Gelbvieh and Balancer bulls will add performance without sacrificing genotypic merit and the British bulls are calving ease options with great feet and legs. This set is a high performing, stout made group that come with all the same guarantees as the bulls from our fall sale, which includes a one-year breeding guarantee. They will sell wormed, poured, vaccinated and with breeding soundness exams.

Cattle aside, we just want to express our sincere gratitude to you. We are proud of what we do, and we are most proud that we do it as a family. Momma Stacy always talks about using your God-given talents and working hard when you find the things you are passionate about. The cattle business is our passion. We wake up thankful the Good Lord put us on this earth and surrounded us with agriculture and livestock. For that, we are blessed. We vow to put all we have into providing the very best genetics we can while providing the best customer service in the business. And lastly, we promise to earn your trust and remain dedicated to working with you, our friends and customers, to build better cattle together. Afterall, we are –

Founded on function. Focused on your demand.

GENETIC SELECTION TOOLS

GENOMIC ENHANCED EPDs —

Purchasing bulls with genomic-enhanced expected progeny differences (GE-EPDs) allows commercial producers to make selection decisions with less risk due to an increase in the accuracy of a non-parent animal’s EPDs. The addition of genomic data to an EPD is comparable to adding another source of information, like progeny or pedigree records. Specifically on lowly heritable traits, such as reproductive traits, genomic data has the potential to greatly increase the accuracy of an EPD prediction and can be demonstrated. The progeny equivalent table explains how many calves worth of data was added with genomic testing.

YW

CALVING EASE DIRECT —

Percent of unassisted births of a bull’s calves when he is used on heifers. A higher number is favorable, meaning better calving ease.

BIRTH WEIGHT —

Predicts the difference, in pounds, for birth weight of the calf.

WEANING WEIGHT —

Predicts the difference, in pounds, for weaning weight (adjusted to age of dam and a standard 205 days of age). This is an indicator of growth from birth to weaning.

YEARLING WEIGHT —

Predicts the expected difference, in pounds, for yearling weight (adjusted to a standard 365 days of age). This is an indicator of growth from birth to yearling.

MILK

ACROSS BREED COMPARISON —

Because AGA breeders have chosen to collaborate with members of other North American breed associations to pool their pedigree, performance, and genomic data for a multi-breed NCE, most Gelbvieh and Balancer® animals’ EPDs can be directly comparable with other animals in the registries of other partner breed associations within the IGS group. Gelbvieh and Balancer EPDs that are excluded from direct comparison included: heifer pregnancy, 30-month pregnancy and dry matter intake. The $Cow, efficiency profit index and FPI™ indices are unique to the AGA and are not comparable across breeds.

CALVING EASE EPDs —

AGA now allows for the use of data from contemporary groups with no variation. This change resulted in thousands of calving scores and birth weights becoming available for genetic prediction in the BOLT-powered EPDs, reducing bias and providing you with calving ease direct (CED) and calving ease maternal (CEM) EPDs with even more power to predict the difference in ease of calving in heifers.

CARCASS EPDs —

A true multi-trait evaluation with all carcass and ultrasound traits plus weaning weight and post-weaning gain is used. This compared to the old evaluation where carcass EPDs were simply an index of the carcass trait and its corresponding ultrasound trait leads to a slight increase in accuracy for carcass EPDS.

MILK —

The genetic ability of a sire’s daughters to produce milk expressed in pounds of weaning weight.

DOC DOCILITY —

Reported as a percentage, with higher numbers indicating a higher percent of offspring receiving a disposition score of 1 (docile). YG

YIELD GRADE —

Differences in yield grade score, which is a predictor of percent retail product. Smaller values suggest that progeny will have a better lean to fat ratio.

CREA

MARB

RIBEYE AREA —

Differences in ribeye area in inches between the 12th and 13th rib. Greater ribeye areas are preferable.

MARBLING —

Predicts the differences in the degree of marbling within the ribeye as expressed in marbling score units. Greater marbling numbers are preferable and are an indicator of higher carcass quality grades.

FPI

FEEDER PROFIT INDEX —

An economic selection index designed to aid producers in selecting sires whose progeny will perform in the feedlot and are sold on a grade and yield standpoint. Well ranking sires have higher marbling and carcass weight than their contemporaries. As a terminal index, little emphasis is put on maternal traits such as stayability and calving ease.

THE ET FEMALES

Our slogan for the spring edition of the Focused on the Future sale is “Founded on Function. Focused on your Demand.” 5025K is a prime example of our dedication to offering our very best. There are fewer and fewer opportunities to own genetics and direct daughters of the immortal Tessa W102. This homo-black and homo-polled future donor is the kind we strive to produce. She’s huge barreled, has unmatched foot quality, and is striking to look at from the side. Regardless of your production goals, this is the kind of female we are confident will propel a program in a forward direction. Every inch of this female exudes quality. You’re going to want to keep your hand up on sale day!

Grace is the closest thing we have to a mathematician here at the Vehige household. Here’s a simple equation for us all though. Big time look + Big time figures= Big time ROI. Cow families are everything and consistency is key. With that said, I’m not sure we can do a better job providing those factors than we have with Lot 2. 5010K is a full sister to Jaycie Forbes’ “Lovely Lady May” donor. Not only did Lady May have an impressive show career but she has already out produced herself with her first calf crop, which in our opinion is one of the most elite Balancer females we’ve seen in some time. This direct daughter of Tootsie 115F is a sharp-fronted, awesomestructured, high-volume female that screams with generating potential! 5010K’s brothers were well received on the bull sale last fall, and this female is the best of that flush in our opinion. Huge opportunities lie within this female’s future.

SIRE OF LOT 3

ELITE. ELITE. ELITE. We have really grown fond of these Red Angus cattle and are blessed to have experienced some success with them thus far. 5029K is a prime example of the kind of cattle we like to produce. Here’s one that’s bad to the bone for feet and legs, has a huge rib cage, and exhibits unparalleled presence from the side. This King of the Cowboys daughter is out of our Conquest donor. She had a litter of sons that were the high selling Red Angus bulls on the sale last fall. If the show ring is your goal, 5029K fits. If raising high selling bulls or high-end replacements is your goal, 5029K fits. Top 15% of the breed or better for WW, YW, ADG, and better than breed average for CED, MILK, CEM, STAY, MARB and YG.

Pit Boss will forever have a soft spot in the hearts of the Vehige and Phillips families. So, when we talked about which heifers we would put in the sale, I got lightheaded, Kyle got mad, Jera teared up, Grace hung up, Mom said “no way”, and Coach Tom felt guilty for even bringing 5013K up for discussion. We truly feel as if this could be one of, if not the most, influential females to be up for public auction in 2024. Her pedigree alone creates marketability in future generations. Throw in her unique build, wildly attractive silhouette, and added power from behind, and we feel she ranks up there with very best females to roam the pastures in Billings, MO. 5013K is a cleanmade, huge-legged, sharp-necked female that ties it all together. She’s got the kind of structural soundness that is hard to replicate. I would strongly encourage you to pick up the phone and call any of us to visit about this female. She is 100% worth the drive to see in person. Keep your hand up and we promise no thanks are required.

5 DAM OF LOT 5

Here’s a tried-and-true mating for us. The Frontrunner x A La Mode mating has consistently created high value, productive cattle with the function we demand. 1165K is the highest percentage female of the embryo born females in this offering. Not only was her flushmate Reserve Junior National Champion for Kylie Smith this past summer, but her full brother was a $16,000 feature in the 2022 bull sale, and we also retained a flushmate to this female to use in our herd. Frontrunner has paved his own path in the breed while 7B has been a foundation female here for some time. On the hoof, 1165K is a square-built, huge-hipped, sound-structured female with all the balance and look in the world. Here’s a great opportunity to invest in genetics straight from the heart of our program.

T BAR S Ms 1111K

This Casino is on our short list. 1129K is a husky-boned, swamp-bodied, square-footed beast with the right kind of cow feature. Her maternal sister brought $30,000 and was the high selling female in the 2021 sale. Females with this kind of foot quality, body shape and balance are sure to generate at the highest of levels. We expect her to work on an array of bulls and look good while doing it.

Rasing bulls will be fun and easy with Lot 11! She’s without question the best one of the X9E cow family. This wide-based, big-hipped heifer has extra shape and power for every angle. Her mother has done an outstanding job for us, and she paired up perfectly with Alliance. We love this heifer!

SIRE OF LOTS 9 + 11

She’s good and she knows it! 1154K is as uniquely made and hard to assemble as any in the set. Here’s one that’s really sharp fronted, open at the ground, and giant boned. She ties her width and power in a maternal and sound package. 1154K is for sure a source for phenotypic style and presence, and she’s backed by a perfectuddered cow that never misses.

The Good Lord hasn’t made a perfect one yet, so you’ll just have to love this one where she’s at. Yes, we know she’s not a preferable color, but outside of that, what’s not to love? Here’s one that’s swamp bodied with square feet and a maternal look. Her mother was our selection of the mature Balancer cows on the J Bar M dispersal, and she consistently made cattle that qualify for the sale. We’ve got a multi-purpose brood cow here in 1102K.

1112K is a full-length fly swatter away from the whole package. She’s a wide-built, big-barreled, elegant female. Not only is she backed by a past Bred and Owned Champion for Kyle, but this mating to Alliance was a perfect match up. If you are hunting a female that will make elite male and female offspring, we strongly encourage you to keep Lot 12 in mind.

“You can’t ever lose the game if your team finishes with more points than the other team.” – (Probably) Coach Tom. Lot 13 is like one of those big obvious comments in life. It’s solid, sound advice. Similarly, here’s a no-holes, super complete female with a great uddered cow behind her. 1139K is the kind that will keep you in business for a long time. She’s great bodied, great balanced and great structured.

WE THE PEOPLE SERVICED BREDS

1128K is as clean in her make up as any Alliance we have had; she’s beautiful headed and necked. Here’s one that’s really a smooth made, moderate female. She’s also a full and maternal sister to some of our bull customers’ favorite bulls year in and year out. To top it all off, she’s in the Top 10% of the breed for YG and CREA.

T BAR S Ms 1134K

We feel there will always be room in the business for good looking, sound cattle that have muscle. 1134K is going to be a rock-solid producer, just as her mother has been. The Alliance cattle have a shot more growth and are always good footed. We expect 1134K to work regardless of your goals.

I love this female’s balance and eye appeal. 1132K is a smooth made, sound structured female, with extra softness to her muscle shape. Her mother is a model cow whose udder deserves a special award!

Here’s one that easily rises as one of my favorites in the offering. We’ve got insane bone, body and presence here in Lot 21! This Casino daughter has a full sister in our fall first-calvers that’s an impressive beast. Her mother knocks it out of the park consistently. She’s currently dragging a Stellar bull calf I’m confident you all will be hearing about. 1106K is going to be a great way to add bone, front end quality and hip shape into the next generation.

Maternal sisters to this heifer have done anything from landing in the hands of our best clients to win national championship banners. Power is in the blood here, and her extra shape and muscle will serve her well regardless of your production goals. Take advantage of the best set of Alliance daughters we have had to date.

Old school cool here. This 100%’er is very outcross to today’s Purebred bull battery. While her pedigree is older, her look and phenotypic merit are right in line with current demands. 1119K is a sound made, soft centered, cowy female. I’d expect her to mate up nicely with bulls of all colors and percentages.

1060H has been a really good way for us to pull up our EPD’s and pull off the hair in these cattle. 1103K is the genetic combination of some of our favorite cow families. Her mother is a standout-producing Ace’s High daughter out of our cornerstone donor 4709B. Lot 24 is just good cattle. She’s in the Top 35% of the breed or better for CED, CEM, DOC, SC and Marb.

Her mother produced highend cattle every year, and Casino is proving himself to be the most influential female maker in our tenure in this breed. Here’s one that’s beautiful fronted, sound made and big boned.

We’ve got a really sleek-made Angus heifer to round out the fall breds. 4026K is a sharp-fronted, sound made heifer with a good shape to her hip. She’s the better numbered heifer of the pair of Angus. She’s also in the Top 35% of the breed or better for CED, BW, DMI, YH, CEM, MILK, MH, DOC, MARB, $F, $G, $B and $C.

COMING 3 YEAR OLDS

Wowza! Lot 29’s picture does the talking for her. Here’s one that’s great made and proven with a high presence. This heifer is a coming three and has all the bells and whistles. Her sire 5423P totally changed the dynamic of our cow base. His influence runs deep within our genetics and females like this are why. She’s got a fresh mating coming out of a new herdsire that Red Ridge Gelbvieh selected last fall in our bull sale.

The full sister to 1060J sells as Lot 22. Here’s one that is a big-boned, wide-built female with some extra pop to her muscle pattern. If you want to see how the Alliance females mature after their first, check out this female. We’ve got one displaying great structure and a beautiful pattern, not to mention, a perfect size. This one is truly a safe bet and will generate fast return on your money.

What a way to kick off the bull division of the spring edition! Here’s a big, stout, husky sucker that is sure to add pay weight! He adjusted to 805lbs off his gooduddered, second calf mother. 6002L is a member of the first calf crop of Stimulus 112H calves, who was the $40,000 high seller of our 2021 bull sale. Lot 31 is a consistent-numbered, heavy-boned bull that is sure to make fast growing feeders and soft centered, high-quality replacements.

This Stimulus son is LONG. Here’s a bigger scaled, shapely bull with added visual growth and performance. He came off his mother adjusting at 765lbs of pay weight. This is another bull we feel adds a lot of carcass merit to retained cattle. 6004L has the length, shape and cleanliness to make one heck of a set of large No. 1 feeder cattle. He’s in the Top 35% or better for YG, CREA, MARB and CFAT.

We round out the Stimulus sire group with the best marbling one of the set. Lot 34 is an awesome shaped bull with added squareness at the ground. He’s a clean made, sharp-fronted bull that reads on paper and on the hoof to be a strong candidate for making fast growing, clean made cattle that will hang well. He’s in the Top 35% or better for CED, CEM, MARB and CFAT.

As a family, two years ago we decided we needed to find a true Purebred bull that would not give up phenotype while improving carcass traits. We landed on Stellar 124J. He has exceeded every expectation and are proud to be offering his first sons this spring with a large group this coming fall. 1172L is a moderate, heavymuscled Purebred with incredible feet and legs. His cow goes back to 4709B. If you are hunting a homo-polled, high-percentage bull with fault-free carcass traits, Lot 35 is your man. He’s in the Top 30% for MARB and the Top 20% for CW.

This Stellar son is a man, and he knows it. He’s big everywhere: Big Scaled, big muscled and big numbered. Here’s one that is truly a source for added growth and performance in a 75% package. He adjusted to 827 off his incredibly proven mother, which we selected from the Eagle Pass dispersal. This bull is progressive in his figures. He is in the Top 40% or better for WW, YW,

We ran out of daylight on picture day, and the weather has been a struggle this spring. However, with that said, just watch this one’s video. You will dig this bull. He’s awesome balanced, impeccable structured and wide and burly built. 6001L is arguably as phenotypically impressive as any in the set. He’s out of the immortal Tessa W102, so female retention should be in the back of your mind. This consistent numbered bull 100% has the capability of making an impact regardless of your goals. He’s in the Top 40% or better for WW, YW, PG30, DOC, MARB, CFAT, ADG, RFI and EPI.

This thing is a dude! He’s been husky his entire life – burly boned, huge hind end and wide across his back. His sire 395H, or “Jordan”, was the $13,500 selection of the Voss family’s a few years back and has consistently made cattle like Lot 39. Look for 144L to add shape and growth to your calf crop, not to mention he is double-digit calving ease.

The bigger scaled, longer bodied Jordan son lies here in Lot 40. He’s sure to add visual growth and performance to your calves, and not to mention, he’s the better carcass numbered bull of the pair. We love the head, body and foot shape of this bull. He’s in the Top 40% of the breed or better for YW, MILK, TM, CEM, YG, CW, CREA, MARB and CFAT.

The year we bought Stellar, we saw Chevelle J112 at Larson’s and knew we needed to incorporate him into our program. He mated up perfectly with a really nice set of yearling Red Angus heifers we acquired. The replacements are out of this world, and the bull progeny are truly standouts.

Here’s the second victim to daylight savings. Lot 42 missed his chance in the picture pen as well. Study his video and we think you will agree this long-bodied, heavyboned bull has a versatile look and build. Of the Chevelle calves we are offering, here is the nicer numbered, cleaner patterned bull. He’s in the Top 35% of the breed or better for CED, BW, MILK, TM, CEM, STAY, DOC, MARB, CFAT and FPI.

We retained a Cinch son to use in-herd to clean up the group of Red Angus we acquired, and he did a heck of a job. 1170L is a clean made, great structured bull that has the look of a female maker but the muscle of an ideal steer calf producer. He adjusted at 792 off his first-calf heifer mother and reads progressive on paper. He’s in the Top 25% of the breed or better for CED, BW, CEM, DOC, MARB and FPI.

Lot 45 is another great boned, awesome shaped bull that is very sound. We love his proportions and length of body. This square-hipped, good-footed bull weaned off at an adjusted 747lbs. He will also be a safe bet when it comes to the numbers. He’s in the Top 35% or better for CED, BW, CEM, DOC, MARB and FPI.

Here’s the black Cinch son. He’s no doubt the heaviest muscled and widest based of this sire group. This long bodied, shapely bull has a fast-growing high cutability look to him. His yield grade number matches this, and we are confident he would mate nicely to higher percentage British cows that need length and muscle shape injected.

Every once in a while, the Good Lord gives them a shot of something special. This bull is elite! Semen sales, bull production, high-end replacements – It doesn’t matter, this bull works! 1173L, in our opinion, is a genetic marvel. This Energize son is backed by an incredible Merlin first-calf heifer. In the pen, he’s a square-toed, wide-built rascal. His added body shape combined with his muscle help this sound structured bull be extra good doing. Even better, he’s incredibly balanced from the side. On paper he reads with genetic progress. He is in the Top 30% of the breed or better for every trait except for four of them. He’s in the Top 15% for PRO S and the Top 5% for GM.

A female maker extraordinaire! Huge centered, perfect footed and smooth made describe Lot 50. He traces back to the immortal Cita and Abigrace cow families. We love this bull’s fleshing ability and structural integrity. His first-calf mother is ideal uddered. This is a bull we believe will make a set of replacements that your neighbors will gossip about for hours.

Blood red and stout! 7020L is a big-boned, long-bodied bull with extra scale. He’s very sound and is sure to make fast-growing feeder cattle with a great look. This bull’s picture and video will say all that needs to be said, but we feel strongly that if you are hunting a red-hided bull to add bone and power, Lot 49 should be on your list.

A stout made Supreme son rounds out the Red Angus division. Here’s a solid numbered, sound made bull that weaned off nicely from his first-calf heifer mother. 1175L will do a great job siring sound-made female progeny and bull calves with some added pop and growth.
