BABR Outbound 9304G is one of the most unique bulls we have offered to date. He is long spined, ultra-correct within his lines and sound from the ground up while maintaining that herd bull look packed with muscle mass, softness and volume. He is sired by BABR “Stewart” 6350D who sired our top selling group of bulls in our 2019 production sale. His progeny average over 732 lbs at weaning combined with a moderate birth weight of 79 lbs. Outbound himself had a big birth to weaning spread starting at a modest 78 lbs and weaning off at 810 lbs of actual weaning weight with an adjusted weight of 867 (119 ratio) while nursing an easy fleshing attractive made first calf heifer that is an ET daughter of AHL Hott Damn 31L and SAV Bruiser. Outbound 9304G combines all the goals we have been working towards achieving into one complete package. Thank you for your consideration.

We are pleased to offer Garth for your inspection in this year’s Balancer Futurity. We’re not high profile cattle judges but it’s hard to phenotypically find fault with this powerfully made young herd sire prospect that moves so freely. His performance has been off the charts with a weaning weight of 747 and a weaning index of 120. His sire (RAIL King James 3127A) was a two-time division winner in Denver and out of a dam of distinction (TAU Final Answer 9143W). And lets not forget Garth’s dam (Ms Networth 078X) who has had 6 bulls with weaning indexes of 109 and 2 heifers that are presently in the herd, with weaning indexes of 104. She’s like a laser guided missile that doesn’t miss and Garth is on track to do it as well.

3G Grand Entry 933G is a powerhouse homo black, homo polled herd sire prospect that has undeniable real world performance, off the chart curve bending EPDs with 8 of his values in the top 15% or better with double digit calving ease and like any good man he was raised by an even better mamma. His picturesque, moderate, beautiful uddered C-model Dam of Merit proves pretty girls can cook with an impressive production record of 3@93 for BW and 3@112 for WW and she produced the 2019 Reserve National Champion Gelbvieh Bull.

HTFM Gunner G912 is one that is a standout among this years’ bulls. He is a homo black, homo polled bull that attracts you to him with tons of muscle mass and depth of rib. When viewed from behind this bull offers a square hip and top line. He is out of one of our lead herd bulls whose offspring has topped our last year’s spring bull sale, TAU Leader 35C. The female has been an outstanding producer for several years and continues to out do herself every year. Gunner has shot his way to the big show and will soon be a high caliber herd sire. Be sure to check him out! Thank you for your consideration. Hilltop Farms is committed to raising quality seedstock.

If you are looking for a bull to really excel your program look no further! It’s always exciting when you can see your futurity entry developing from a young age of 3 months and know he has what it takes to catch some eyes. Grande has sure been a standout from the start, soggy middled, smooth fronted, powerfully constructed. He also packs an impressive pedigree, his sire; XXB Classic was JJ Boehler’s leadoff bull of his Grand Champion pen of three and went on to claim the title of Supreme Champion of all breeds at the Nebraska Cattlemen’s Classic. Now the Dam’s side, talk about absolute cow power (XXB Drew 565 X Lazy TV Watchman) and she never misses. She is moderate framed, deep bodied, with a picture-perfect udder. I look forward to your evaluation of BARG Grande! Homozygous black and Homozygous Polled.

Payload is the syndicated sire of our Futurity winner High Definition. Wow did it ever click!!

Veteran is very stout, long fronted with a super soft look. His sire, Payload, puts more rib and flank in his progeny than any other sire we’ve used to date. The first daughters are calving now and we love them. This Homo Black, Homo Polled herd sire prospect is destined to be a breed leader in the coming years.

Paycheck 40G is a magnificent son of Basin Payweight 1682 and backed by an excellent donor cow in 2108Z. As you know the Gunnison line of females are incredible and the same can be said for 2108Z. Paycheck is a combination bull that offers a show ring look with the real-world growth and performance that all cattlemen are looking for. He’s extended through his front 1/3, long bodied and packed bull of meat and muscle. When you combine this with his easy fleshing, big footed, and sound look, he’s one that definitely brings a lot of good to the table. Come check him out in the yards, we know you won’t be disappointed.

Thrive is a bull bred to be a champion. His sire is the result of mating a National Champion Balancer Bull to a daughter of the two-time National Champion Bull, Insidious who’s dam was a flush mate to National Champion Bull, Ludacris.

Lifeline’s dam is sired by the Gelbvieh National Champion Bull, Extra Exposure. The bottom side of the pedigree may be more impressive. Thrive is the second calf from from Miss Roundhouse 622D ET. Her first calf is a heifer by Lifeline that has been shown successfully by Cody Brown of Dwight, Kansas, winning division honors in last years NWSS Junior Show as well as being selected Kansas State Fair Balancer Female Champion and Reserve Champion Female at the Nebraska State Fair this past summer. 622D is sired by Roundhouse, the high selling member of the 2016 NWSS Champion Pen of Five Balancer Bulls which also included Lifeline and Barrett. Roundhouse’s dam puts the great Evelyn cow, also a past National Champion, in the pedigree. 622’s dam Partisover Julia 71305 ET, produced the 2017 Balancer Pen of Three Bulls as well as the only two Gelbvieh/Balancer bulls to win Supreme Champion honors in the 28 year history of the Nebraska Cattleman’s Classic. Lifeline 56 was Reserve Champion in the Gelbvieh division of the 2018 classic to the eventual Supreme Champion Bull in what the judge called a very difficult decision. Roundhouse’s grandsire, Northern Dancer, was one of two NWSS champion bulls sired by Ludacris, the other being Wingman. What makes this more impressive is Ludacris was syndicated to a very small group of breeders with semen never offered outside of the syndicate. This puts Ludacris on both sides of the pedigree. Thrive offers you the chance to breed genetics that will get your calves noticed in all aspects of the industry as well as filling your replacement pen with the Balancer females we all love.

We knew when we decided to bring our first-ever futurity entry to Denver, it had to be our absolute best. Well, ladies and gentlemen, here he is. Having shown only twice, he has been named Grand Champion at both the 2019 Music City Junior Nationals and the 2019 American Royal. ALLEGIANCE comes with the most potent pedigree ever produced here at T Bar S Cattle Company. He is a direct son of the National Champion EGL Lifeline B101, and our lead donor and Reserve National Champion KDV T Bar S A La Mode 7B. A La Mode 7B is currently averaging over $9,600 on her first progeny to sell at live auction. Past the banners and the proven pedigree, ALLEGIANCE has the rare combination of stoutness, power and structural integrity, not to mention his consistent genetic profile. His mass, muscle and body dimension, along with his perfect feet and legs, has given him praise from show judges and producers nationwide. Here is a moderate-framed, big-testicle herdsire prospect that will add muscle, performance and look. We are extremely hopeful for the future of this bull and are thankful for your consideration at the futurity.

We have been waiting for the opportunity to present a bull that could check all the boxes and compete for your consideration as the best bull available! We think Rebel Yell can do that. Rebel Yell is a son of proven donor 921U and past Futurity winner JRI Probity 254D28. He is HB/HP and is one of the stoutest made individuals ever produced in our program. You will admire his thickness and be impressed with the beautiful head and neck as he gets out on the move. Most importantly in our breeding program, he is backed by multiple generations of tremendous donor females starting initially with 61Y (Dam of SLC Freedom). She was followed by her Polled Summit daughter, 19F, and then comes TJB Anissa 337M (Still producing embryos at 17 years of age!). She has truly been one of the anchors in our program for many years. Currently the 921U females that roam our pastures are the epitome of Gelbvieh females. They are very moderate in frame with udder quality second to none and ever important eye appeal and longevity to complete the package. We welcome your evaluation of this outstanding individual and feel he is the “total package� and can benefit any breeding program. We think this is a bull you will be proud to utilize in your future mating decisions, and your consideration is deeply appreciated.
