16th Annual Opportunities Knockin’ Sale

We’d like to take this opportunity to welcome each of you to the 16th Annual Opporunities Knockin’ Production Sale. Over the years we’ve offered up exciting bull prospects to our clients who’ve gotten the job done at a high level in their operations. We’ve been very fortunate to have a great group of repeat buyers over the years and we look forward to continuing past relationships as well as to develop new long lasting friendships in this industry.

With the US cow numbers continuing to decline we are looking at some exciting times in all sectors of the Beef Industry. The cattle we will offer on the 22nd we feel will help to position each of you in the driver seat for years to come. The bulls across the board come with added frame and performance. The bred heifer division is well on it’s way to becoming a pair division as they are doing a great job dropping calves each and every day.

Again this year we welcome back AR Cattle, NP Cattle Co., & BF Black Simmentals to this year’s sale. These herds have not only brought a great set of cattle for you they are also close friends throughout the year. Each of them has dug deep to bring you an exciting group backed by some of the top cow families from their respective herds.

The cattle available for viewing at the Melby Simmental farm starting Thursday February 20, 2025. These cattle will be penned up and you can stop in to look at your convienance. For the auction we will sell the cattle on videos at the Soldier Community Center in Soldier, IA. The Community Center is located mere minutes from the farm so making both stops is very convenient. If you cannot make it to view the cattle in person we will have videos on each and every lot posted to CCI and we have a great group of consultants available to give you an honest apprasial of the cattle being offered.

As sale time approaches feel free to reach out to any of us breeders or members of the auction staff with any questions you may have. We look forward to seeing each of you the last weekend in February!

AI 5/2 to Melby’s Extraordinare AI 5/20 to STCC Tecumseh 085J This lovely female is adored by everyone, and loves everyone in return. Granted her perfect disposition is annoying at times when you attempt to move here and she would rather just stand next to you. In the fall of 2023 lookers wanted to take her home, but my family showed her locally, and we held her for this sale. She is bred to the high selling bull from last year’s sale Extraordinare, then showed a weak heat and was bred again to STCC Tecumeseh 085J.

We purchased this one as a heifer calf from Brandon Lubbe, showed her, and bred her for the sale. Thick and deep made. She bred to the Melby Extraordinare bull who was the top selling red baldy bull of last year’s sale. Copacetic x Upper Class should make her a powerhouse cow!

BF Black Simmentals

In the 2015 Sandeen’s Buildin’ A Brand Sale we partnered up and purchased the Lot 1 female, Sandeen Donna 4232. This Data Breach daughter was one we kept from an early flush. She has been productive, and has become the follow me cow in the pasture. Totally docile, good milking, a top female for her new owner. Bred to Long’s Entitled, a Lover Boy son and the high selling bull from Long’s Simmentals. Bull calf at side born 1/31/25.

Heifer Calf at side by TJSC Coping with Destiny DOB 1/16/25 - (4481553)

This long bodied, smooth striding Relentless daughter still has the same perfect udder as she did when she was a first calf heifer. The longevity of this cow is very apparent when you go back and look at the bottom side of this pedigree with BC Lookout and HHSF Black Glitter. There is a lot of life and great opportunities left in this cow. Which you can see in her extremely attractive Coping with Destiny heifer calf.

AI 5/3 to NPC Bold Statement

Janney is a pretty cool 3rd calver with a loaded pedigree. Her Dam is one the cows that we sold to Roger Sullivan last year. She was a W/C Loaded Up x Pays to Believe x Serena. Then let’s throw Copacetic on top of that pedigree and Janney is what you get! She will calve to NPC Bold Statement.

Bull Calf at side by TJSC Coping with Destiny DOB 1/9/25 - (4481552)

Due to a small heifer crop in 2023, there was not a lot of 1st calf heifers to choose from this year, so we decided to offer up some really nice younger cows for this year. This 2nd calver is an example of that, she is another long, deep bodied female with power all the way through her pedigree. On her dam there is the now recently deceased HF Serena and the Zeis Perfection S116 and her topside has the Pep cow family. Her brockle face Coping with Desting bull calf looks awesome on her side.
