Welcome toLemke Cattle
Welcome to our 20th Annual Bull and Heifer Sale! What a blessing it is to be able to do this for so many years! As anyone involved with agriculture knows, it’s humbling how much we rely upon God’s Grace and the help of other people to be successful. Being in business this many years is only possible with the support of you, our customers, so thank you for your trust in our program!
This set of bulls has had us excited since before they were even born. The Reds are high quality, out of great cows, and excel in many traits with several offering outcross pedigrees to the genetics featured in our sales the past couple years. The Blacks are head and shoulders the best set we’ve ever offered and do such a good job of balancing maternal heritage with high-end performance. Overall, with the markets as high as they are and cow herd numbers as low as they are, we think this set of bulls will thrive for your needs, whether taking advantage of current prices or building back your herd.
God bless and thank you for your interest in our genetics!

Red Angus Bulls
LOT 1
LOTS 1-5 FLUSH BROTHERS
We have awaited this set of full brothers with much anticipation. Our first set of calves sired by the record-setting PIE Hollywood and out of the best full sister to our 2023 high seller and ABS sire LEM Stockyard. These bulls are backed by two of the most talked about Red Angus sires of the past decade in Hollywood and the highly proven Bieber Stockmarket. Few combinations bring as much reputation in terms of performance, carcass quality, and elite feminine females while maintaining moderate birth weights. Their grandam, 934, is one of the 2 most prevalent and elite Red Angus cows on our place, and consistently passes on great udders, performance, and deep bodied phenotypes to her progeny. These bulls are super wide, good legged, and good footed, and offer an outcross option for our regular customers with heavy 902 influence in their herds.

A calf that covers a lot of bases in terms of performance, moderate birth, softness, muscle shape, coat color, length of body, structure, maternal backing, and carcass quality. Phenomenal growth and carcass EPDs.

PIE hollywood 222
The $400,000 highest selling Red Angus bull in history. The Red Angus breed has been avidly infusing the genetics of the highly sought after Angus sire, Connealy Confidence Plus, and there is no grandson with more excitement than Hollywood. His calves have breed leading performance while still having a soft, maternal phenotype. They also have elite carcass traits, great feet and legs, and moderate calving ease. Our young Hollywood heifers are some of the best we’ve ever raised.
This guy was a standout from a young age with the dark cherry red color and soft made, deep bodied phenotype that he gets from his maternal grandam. He has the look of a female maker and the numbers that suggest high-performing and highgrading calves.

LEM POWER STROKE 5055
LOTS 6-8 FLUSH BROTHERS
The power bulls of this year’s Red Angus offering. Maternal brothers to our 2023 high seller and popular ABS sire LEM Stockyard and sired by the highest bull in the breed for progeny registrations in 2025, Bieber Jumpstart. The mating of the 934 donor to Jumpstart screams pounds and performance and these bulls fit the bill. These brothers are deep bodied and chock full of muscle and red meat with the backing of one of the greatest Red Angus cows to walk our pastures.
Lot 7 is an absolute meat wagon. At first we didn’t give this bull the recognition he deserves just because he’s not as dark as his brothers, but he kept developing to the point that we couldn’t ignore it anymore. Among the top Red Angus bulls we’ve ever raised in terms of hip and top, yet he’s deeper bodied than many of our past greats (he gets that from 934). He packs a lot of power and pounds while maintaining a disciplined frame size. On top of all that he’s got a smoking good set of growth and carcass EPDs.

She’s the dam of the 902 donor, who has made a huge mark on our sales the past few years with numerous sons and grandsons. These bulls are long and dark colored. Their sisters are impressive as well.

LEM HALL OF FAME 5000
LOTS 34-37 FLUSH BROTHERS
The 923 donor has taken over our black herd with the unmatched natural muscling, fleshing ability, udder quality, foot quality, and calm dispositions of her progeny. She is the type of foundational female that doesn’t come around very often. Her influence is all over this sale with the first 20 black bulls all being out of herself, her daughters, or granddaughters. This Quarterback flush raises the bar even higher and we think this could be the best set of flush brothers we’ve ever raised. They should leave phenomenal daughters, being out of a great cow line and a top end female maker in Quarterback. They’ll add extension, performance, and a clean, attractive look that makes calves easy to sell. Structural integrity, foot quality, and udder confirmation should all be a strong suit for these bulls.
Homozygous Black, Polled. We think this could be the best black bull we’ve ever raised. He’s been the man from a young age and never took a day off. Checks a lot of boxes and is exactly the type of bull we hoped for when doing this mating. Long, deep, correct, big hipped, and attractive with a royal pedigree and sneaky good numbers. We’re planning on using him back in our herd.

Homozygous Black, Polled. If you go through the bull pens, expect this guy to come say hi and want a scratching. He has all the depth, width, softness, and muscle you need while still having the right amount of stretch and performance. Really good numbers across the board with great marbling. One of the best of the offering.
Talk about a flush full of meat wagons! If you want bulls that are mega thick, deep bodied, heavy muscled, and docile, these Man in Black sons do the job. They pack tons of meat and pounds in a moderate sized frame that they get from their dam, 134. Her whole life she has been an absolute chunk with oodles of muscle and fleshing ability. She has a great udder and is leaving us some fantastic daughters. Look to these bulls for calm temperaments, great feet, moderate birth weights, and the easy-fleshing phenotypes that leave top females. These bulls are just fun.

Besides this you know what hour it is, how it is full time now for you to wake from sleep. For salvation is nearer to us now than when we first believed; the night is far gone, the day is at hand. Let us then cast off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light; let us conduct ourselves becomingly as in the day, not in reveling and drunkenness, not in debauchery and licentiousness, not in quarreling and jealousy. But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires.
