A NOTE FROM DONNELL

2023

Working hard to keep the ranch in the family and the family in the ranch.

Four generations of Browns (L-R Rayley, Tucker, Peggy, Rob and Donnell Brown)

What’s on the horizon for Cattle producers?

Dear Friends,

We are working on something special. I just can’t tell you what it is yet, but I can tell you that we are focused on providing new ways to continually improve your profitability and sustainability in the cattle business. Please come join us for our 49th Annual October sale and hopefully by then I will be able to tell you more about the exciting project that we have been working on for over three years.

Come eat with us, fellowship with hundreds of the finest cattle people in the business and enjoy watching over 1000 head of bulls, commercial heifers, registered females, and horses sell on October 10th and 11th. Registered Angus females will kick us off at 1 pm on Tuesday. Following that, we have quite the program set up for you this year with informative speakers to discuss market forecasts from Dr. Derrell Peel to Livestock Risk Protection (LRP) by Trent Sharon with Compass Ag. In addition, we will hear more about what makes the $Profit system one of the most valuable genetic selection tools available. You’ll get to hear first hand about a product called FerAppease that we used this year with amazement as it successfully reduced stress on our weaned calves to keep them healthy and growing fast. Plus, it is fascinating how it stops bulls from fighting. Tuesday evening will end with our horse sale followed by a complimentary dinner and TSCRA Ranch Gathering. Everyone is encouraged and welcome to attend.

It is raining as I write this letter and we have a forecast for 7 more days of rain. The long-range forecast looks like we should grow lots of grass and crops plus have plenty of water. Cattle are selling at record high prices and the fundamentals tell us this amazing market should last for several years. It is time to invest in superior R.A. Brown Ranch genetics so that you can return the most during this season of record calf prices with better calves that weigh more, have great carcasses, are more efficient and sustainable and make great mommas. Remember a bull is an investment and the timing is great to get the maximum return on your investment. A wise old cowman told me once that everyone pays for a good bull. The smart ones invest in a good bull up front while others just pay for it in the end when they sell their calves for less money.

Our family and team work hard to provide you with the best genetics possible to improve your profitability and sustainability. We develop them on a high fiber ration designed to improve their longevity so that they produce more calves throughout their lifetime. You can buy bulls cheaper than ours and you can buy bulls higher than ours, but I don’t know where you can find bulls that will make you more money than R.A. Brown Ranch bulls.

We look forward to seeing you here,

Sincerely,

Donnell, Kelli, Tucker & Lanham Brown

SALE DAY VETERINARIAN:

Janey Powe DVM – 806-752-0999

AIR TRANSPORTATION: Wichita Falls: 75 miles, Abilene: 75 miles, Dallas/Ft Worth: 150 miles. For those with private planes, Olney, TX is 30 miles away and has three 5100’ runways. The N/S is lighted. They also have E/W and fuel availability 24 hours. Please call us well in advance if you need us to pick you up. The Throckmorton Airport recently closed.

HEALTH: 1) To insure that our cattle are healthy and to provide you with healthy cattle, we have a strict vaccination, herd health and biosecurity protocol. 2) All cattle have been VACCINATED to prevent Blackleg, IBR, PI3, BVD, BRSV, Vibrio, Lepto and Pinkeye. 3) All bulls in this catalog are CERTIFIED AS VIRGINS unless otherwised marked. 4) INTERSTATE HEALTH PAPERS will be provided for animals going to states that only require the specifications listed above. Any additional testing (i.e. Brucellosis or TB) will begin after the sale and those interstate health papers will be ready after all testing is completed. If you plan to haul your own cattle after the sale across the state line, please check with your state veterinarian to make sure your state will receive cattle from us without additional testing.

FERTILITY GUARANTEE: All bulls and females are

guaranteed breeders as described in the “Terms & Conditions” at the back of this catalog. All of these bulls passed a breeding soundness exam (BSE) by one of our Veterinarians. None of us can afford a bull not doing his job. Bulls can become temporarily infertile due to fever, excessive heat, injury, diet (whole cottonseed or poor diet), etc. We have experienced this with bulls we purchased with breeding soundness exams and took for granted that they were still ready to breed cows. We recommend that you fertility test all your bulls 30 days prior to each breeding season every year. If you find a bull infertile prior to or during his first 60 days with cows, please contact us immediately. After a second failed test, at least two weeks after the first, we will replace the bull or give you credit, according to the “Terms & Conditions” in the back of this catalog. Getting your cows pregnant is a high priority for us.

DELIVERY of BULLS and FEMALES: Please see the detailed information on our Delivery Service, pages 12-13.

INSURANCE: Mortality Insurance will be available for purchase on sale day from Ag Defense Risk Management / Shari Holloway (pg 128).

FUTURE CARE: We appreciate your investment in R.A. Brown Ranch genetics and want to make some recommendations to help you protect your investment. These bulls are ready to go straight in with your cows; however, the stress of the sale, hauling, and relocating these animals can weaken their immune system; therefore, we recommend that you check them daily for a couple of weeks. If you don’t put your bull in with cows right away, we recommend that you put your bull with another animal so that he is not by himself. Cattle are herd instinct animals and feel more comfortable with a friend. If you plan to mix your new purchase with other bulls, we recommend that you do not do it in a small pen, but rather the larger the pasture the better so that they have room to get away from each other. If you have to mix bulls, it is better to mix several at one time that have not been together, than to just put one or 2 into a large group. We recommend vaccinating for Vibrio/Lepto and fertility testing your bulls 30 days prior to the breeding season each year. 18 month old bulls can be used very effectively when turned out with one cow per month of age (18 months - breed 18 females). Remember they are still growing and losing their baby teeth so they may need some extra care after their first breeding season.

BUYING OPTIONS: BUYING OPTIONS: Obviously we prefer for you to be with us on sale day but, if you are unable to make it you have three options: 1. Log on to DV Auction & bid on the internet (see info at top of next page). 2. Personalized Bull Shopper. We will be glad to find you the bulls you need, within your budget. To utilize this option, like about 20 of our long-time customers, please call Donnell Brown as soon as possible so that we can discuss how we can help you. 3. Customer Service Representatives. These men will be here and have studied the bulls. They can also put their eyes on specific cattle for you.

MORE INFORMATION: We want you to have all of the info you need to make the best decisions. To view more information, you can visit our website at www.RABrownRanch.com to sort the animals and/or view their data in spreadsheet form. Also, we have included registration numbers on the registered animals so that you can look them up on the internet. If you want more information about these bulls and/or females than what is in this catalog or on the web, please call and ask prior to Sale Day. In an effort to simplify the process, we have included the information in this catalog that we believe to be the most useful tools in describing genetic merit of each animal for economically relevant traits. To contact Donnell or Kelli Brown, you may call the ranch at 940-849-0611 or email us at kelli@rabrownranch. com.

HHHHH Ratings Guide

Our exclusive Star Rating System is designed to help summarize all of the data and simplify your selection process. It takes into account all information available, along with some “cowboy common sense” to rate each bull for the 5 most economically relevant traits: Calving Ease, Growth, Carcass, Cow Herd and Efficiency. These ratings are consistent throughout the catalog so that you can compare all bulls across breeds. EPDs and Indexes are the most precise tools for selection within a breed and now can be used to compare Red Angus, Black Red Angus & SimAngus, however, EPDs are not comparable across all breeds yet. Angus are different.

The more stars a bull has, the better he is for that trait. Each bull is rated from 0 to 5 stars in each trait. Our Five-Star rating is the same as it has been in the past and designates elite bulls in each category. For Growth, Carcass, Cow Herd & Efficiency, a bull has to be in the top half of the industry to even get 1 star. A Five-Star rating is only given to the cream of the crop, the most ultimate. Others have tried to emulate our system, but most imitations simply

use some stars as a marketing tool to help them sell what they have rather then helping you buy what you need.

Use the individual EPDs and their respective percentile ranks to most accurately determine which bulls can help you best meet your specific needs. For example when looking at the Growth Rating, if you sell your calves at weaning time then you should look more specifically at WW EPD. For Carcass, if you need more quality grade then put more emphasis on Marbling EPD.

You may notice that our Calving Ease ratings are much more conservative than what many breeders and breed associations may recommend for use on heifers. We believe it is better to be safe than sorry. This doesn’t mean that you never have to assist one at calving, because sometimes calves are born backwards or have a leg turned back. Even the best and most proven Calving Ease sires in the industry will get a big calf every once in a while. Our goal is to help eliminate calving difficulty to the best of our ability and therefore help you manage risk.

Our Efficiency stars are designed to best identify genetics that will be most efficient as both feeder cattle and replacement females going back into the herd. Traits that influence this economically relevant trait include, feed efficiency (F:G), Rapid early growth, moderate mature size and medium feed intake so that they have enough appetite to consume enough low-quality forage to meet their nutritional demands

OWNERSHIP - We are selling full possession, full salvage value and 1/2 revenue-sharing semen interest in every bull in this sale. This means the bull is totally in your control in how you want to handle him plus you get 100% of the salvage value of the bull. We are retaining 1/2 revenue-sharing semen interest in every bull in this sale. This simply gives us the right to half of the semen sales revenue from the bull if at some time in the future, semen sales become a reality.

If you choose to sell the bull to anyone else, R.A. Brown Ranch (and Cooperators) retain our semen interest in the bull. If you wish to buy a bull in this sale and would prefer that we did not retain a semen interest, then please talk with us about it prior to the sale and we will consider selling the bull(s) to you without us retaining an interest and make that agreement in writing prior to the sale. The buyer may elect to purchase as much additional semen interest as you desire by paying the additional pro-rated amount. For example you can purchase 2/3 or 3/4 semen interest by paying an additional 33% or 50% of the final bid price respectively.

Retained Interest In Bulls

during times of drought and dormancy. When you select for more Efficiency Stars: you get genetics that produce the most pounds of beef in the shortest amount of time while using the fewest natural resources in the pasture and while on feed. They will have a smaller carbon footprint and be more sustainable. We started measuring feed efficiency and feed intake in 2015 With each test we learn more and it is obvious that we have to measure this trait in order to make progress because you can’t tell the efficient ones by looking. We believe feed efficiency is the next great frontier and it is a trait that will make huge improvement in your profitability for both feeder calves as well as cows in the pasture that will need less pasture and supplement to do their jobs and do them well. We do not use RFI because our research shows that RFI is not the best metric to identify efficient cattle that also gain well.

Our Cow Herd stars are designed to help you select bulls that will produce better replacement females that are easier keeping, medium to smaller sized and have a medium milk production with better fertility and Stayability. Research and experience tell us that these females are more likely to stay producing calves in your herd for many years and therefore improve your profitability.

This Star Rating System is simply a tool to help you quickly find the bulls that fit your needs. Then you can take more time studying the details to find the bulls that best fit your more specific needs.

If a buyer is not interested in marketing the semen from a bull then R.A. Brown Ranch reserves the right to collect a semen bank on the bull at our cost and the buyer’s convenience. That semen would be 100% owned by the R.A. Brown Ranch for our use or marketing.

EXCLUSIVE SEMEN MARKETING RIGHTS - The buyer may elect to purchase exclusive semen marketing rights on any bull in this sale by paying double the final bid price on the bull at the time of the sale. In the event that the buyer elects to purchase exclusive semen marketing rights, then R.A. Brown Ranch retains the right of first refusal on the purchase of natural service rights of the bull if the original buyer decides to sell the natural service rights and or possession of the bull anytime during his lifetime.

REALISTICALLY SPEAKING - It is unlikely that large amounts of semen will be sold from very many bulls. However, the reason we are keeping an interest in every bull, is that we want to keep it simple and we have great bulls scattered throughout the sale. The bulls that do develop a market for large amounts of semen can be very financially rewarding; therefore, as a breeder of some of the best seedstock in the industry, we want to share with you in these bulls. Even bulls sold to commercial herds may become popular at a later time, especially if carcass data is collected on their calves. We want to be a great partner with you.

SEMEN RIGHTS - Buyers receive semen rights proportional to the interest purchased. Therefore if you purchase a 1/2 revenue-sharing semen interest then you are entitled to 1/2 of the semen collections at cost provided that you indicate that you want semen prior to collection. If you choose to collect semen from one of these bulls as an “insurance policy” for your own use, that semen is 100% yours, but before any semen is collected on any bull in this sale, R. A Brown Ranch must be notified.

the clerk when you pay out. Please note the cost of delivery associated with each delivery point. These charges will be reflected on your invoice on a per head basis.

LOAD-OUT SERVICE (for all registered cattle)

Many people prefer to haul their own cattle, and we are glad to help make this process as quick and easy as possible. If you choose to haul your own cattle, we can load them any time during the day on Wednesday through Saturday. We can load your cattle during the sale but you must first pay out and then bring the extra copy of your bill of sale (that you will receive at check out). Cattle will only be loaded when you present the extra copy of the paid Bill Of Sale. All animals that are to be hauled by the customer will be cared for at no cost through noon Saturday (3 days after the sale). Starting at noon Saturday there will be a charge of $6/head/ day for all remaining animals that were to be picked up by the buyer. There will be no charge for feed and care of animals that are designated

for us to deliver when you check out unless the delivery is delayed for any reason by the buyer. We can have Interstate Health Certificates for all animals that are going to states that accept cattle without additional testing. However, if your state requires additional testing like TB or Brucellosis, then that will be done the week after the sale and we can provide Interstate Health Certificates as soon as vet has all of the requirements met including permits from the buyer’s state.

TAKING DELIVERY ON COMMERCIAL FEMALES

All commercial females sell FOB the ranch they sell from as described in the catalog. The buyer is to coordinate directly with the seller of the heifers to coordinate picking up the heifers.

PREFERRED DELIVERY POINTS

The destinations on the chart have been selected as “Preferred Delivery Points.” Please select the two delivery points that are most convenient for you. Drop points may be adjusted after the sale time depending on the location and purchases of each buyer. Please keep in mind that this is a guide for “Preferred Delivery Points,” not guaranteed delivery points. We will be glad to calculate the cost to additional delivery points after the sale. Please give us your home, office and mobile phone numbers so that we can contact you (and anyone else that may be involved in receiving your cattle) in regard to the delivery of your cattle.

RISK and INSURANCE

As outlined in the Terms and Conditions in the back of this catalog, all cattle become the risk of the purchaser as soon as they are sold.

Our PARTNERS

“Our team is thankful for all of these partners. Their service and products help us build a better bull.”

Introducing

The TEAM

We are fortunate to have some of the most astute cattlemen as a part of this team. You will see that each lot in the sale shows which herd they originated in.

These cattle follow the same genetic plan that ours do. They have very high targets to meet to be considered for the program including weight per day of age, optimum epds, health protocol, verified parentage, genomically enhanced, structure standards, no creep feed and most importantly, integrity in the data.

The cooperator bulls are born and raised at their respective ranches and then delivered to Throckmorton after being weaned at least 45 days. Once here they are co-mingled,

branded, and developed for at least eight months. Under our care, they are evaluated multiple times for feet and leg structure and disposition. They are developed right along side our own and treated as such. We take all of the yearling measurements including ultrasound, yearling weight, yearling height, scrotal measurements, and most of them are feed efficiency tested. Finally, they must pass a fertility test to be included in the sale day offering.

Simply put, buy with confidence. Together we are proud to offer bulls that have not only met the highest standards but come to you with one goal in mind....to make you, our customer, more profit.

This bull is the epitome of what we are striving to produce. We like him so much that we froze semen on him as a yearling and used him on registered cows as well as in our carcass test herd. Everyone needs more DEVOTION. He is a powerhouse with expressive muscle shape, outstanding length and volume combined with amazing eye appeal and excellent feet. Genetically, no other bull in the entire database can match his calving ease, growth and feed efficiency combined with fertile females and high marbling genetics in a conservatively sized package. His dam is a super productive cow with outstanding production ratios and she is due to calve at 14 years of age.

This is the “Right Kind” that we are striving to produce: cattle that do all things well and, therefore, improve your profitability and sustainability the most. It is very rare to find bulls that rank this high for all six of our indexes: $M, $B, $C, $Profit, $Ranch and $Feeder. He has been used in our family’s seedstock herd and you will see sons in this sale next year.

This bull is SURE TO IMPRESS. His dam is the beautiful lot A1 cow (aka “Goldilocks”) in our female the day before these bull’s sell. If you want to make fertile, functional easy keeping replacement females, then use this bull. He is the highest $M bull in the sale.

We have 38 sons of the great Confidence Plus and they are my favorites because they are consistently deep bodied, thick made and easy keeping. Genetically, they are strong across the EPD profile. This bull’s dam was one of the highest selling black cows in our history and her outcross pedigree is loaded with generations of selection for fertility and longevity.

Here is another powerful Confidence Plus son. Confidence Plus is one of the best bulls at producing eye appealing cattle with lots of muscle shape and Goldilocks’ size: not too big, not too small, but just right.

We used this bull naturally on our Elite Nucleus Herd because of his unique EPD profile that cannot be matched by any other animal in the entire Angus database. He has excellent eye appeal, super feet, and a great disposition. We believe bulls like this that do the most things right are most profitable. He has been out breeding cows, so look beyond his work clothes.

Fireball is one of the most popular bulls in the industry today for his amazing growth and carcass combination that makes his calves the most ultimate feeder cattle in the country with amazing carcass premiums. This is the first of 8 Fireball sons in a row.

These next two are full brothers from a great mating combination of Fireball out of a deep ribbed, thick made, easy keeping Payweight daughter. He is the kind to make amazing and efficient feeder cattle that are sure to earn amazing carcass premiums.

4329 head of our customers’ cattle have sold through the R.A. Brown Ranch sale ring.

We Invest in our Customers’ Cowherds...

We invest in the science and technology necessary to deliver the most efficient and profitable cow herd building genetics to our customers. Then we provide cutting edge genetic selection tools and training so customers can make the best informed bull buying decisions possible. We understand those decisions are even more important when ranchers raise their own replacements because they’ll live with the results of their selection for a decade or more. These efforts ultimately enhance the genetic value of the replacement females they keep as well as those selected to sell through our bi-annual sales.

Our October, 2023 sale will feature a hand-picked offering from several of our long-time customers - each one backed with multiple generations of R.A. Brown Ranch genetics.

Customer Appreciation - Commercial Bred Heifer Sale

Wednesday, October 11, 2023

Commercial heifers will sell following the Black bulls and just before the Red Angus bulls.

Our Customers’ Best

Our customers represent a healthy mix of some of the southern plains elite ranching operations as well as some of the beef industry’s rising generation of superstar cowmen and cattlewomen. They share a common appreciation for profitable beef genetics. Through the front-end bulls they purchase in our annual sales, and the balanced trait calving ease sires they use A.I., these ranchers have developed some of the most sought after, ranch-ready replacement females in the industry. And, they are willing to share their “keepers” in our annual bull sale.

How the Commercial Heifer Sale will work:

• Consignments will all be videoed prior to the sale and will be available at RABrownRanch.com along with the bull videos.

• Larger groups of heifers will be sold in “gate-cut” of approximately 10 head. The successful bidder will have the option of taking any/all consecutive 10 head sorts from the same lot and at the same bid price.

• The following pages contain general descriptions of each ranch’s entire consignment as well as delivery information. Our Sale Day Supplement will have any updated palpation/ultrasound information and how that impacts the exact head count for each lot.

• The Commercial heifer lots represented in this catalog will be sold FOB their respective consignor’s ranch. Breeding Guarantee: All commercial females identified as “Bred” have been determined pregnant by a competent ultrasound or palpation technician. If prior to December 1, 2023 it is determined (by competent palpation/ultrasound technician) that one of the commercial females you purchased in this sale is not pregnant, then please call us and you will be reimbursed (by the seller ) the difference between her purchase price and the salvage value you receive for her.

How to read the data

RAB Exclusive Star Rating System

Compares bulls across breeds in five areas of economic relevance: Heifer Calving, Growth, Carcass Merit, Cowherd and Efficiency. In general more stars indicate greater genetic improvement. There is a more detailed explanation of the RAB Star System in the front of the catalog.

Docility Score Every RAB bull is individually scored 1-5 for docility where 1 represents the most docile.

DOB: Birthdate of Animal.

REG# Registration number assigned by the Red Angus Association of America (RAAA).

Red Angus

CAT: All Red Angus and Black/Red Angus Bulls are registered with the RAAA. This indicates their respective registry category and percent Angus parentage.

Herd: Identifies cooperator (herd of origin). Go to RABrownRanch.com/ cooperators/ and meet our cooperator team.

Animal ID: Animal’s tattoo no.

$PROFIT is an Economic Selection Index comparing bulls’ impact on profitability over their productive life (100 calves).

$RANCH is an Economic Selection Index comparing bulls impact on profitability per calf when keeping replacement females and selling calves at weaning time.

$FEEDER is an Economic Selection Index comparing bulls’ value as a post weaning feeder calf. Growth, Feed Efficiency and Carcass Value are included.

% RANK compares an individual animal to all Red Angus that have been evaluated in $Profit multi-breed genetic evaluation of over 1 million head.

FERT EPD Fertility predicts differences in females’ ability to get pregnant and and raise a calf every year. A higher FERT EPD predicts greater lifetime fertility, which will result in higher $Profit and $Ranch. F:G EPD is a genetic prediction of relative differences in feed efficiency. Lower F:G EPDs indicate less feed will be consumed to produce one pound of gain. This EPD is calculated using Feed Intake data through the $Profit genetic evaluation.

GdM: RAAA GridMaster Index compares relative profitability per cow exposed when bulls are used on mature cows but no replacements are kept, and all progeny are fed and marketed on a value based grid.

Red Angus EPDs and Percentile Ranks:

CED - Calving Ease Direct BW - Birth Weight WW - Weaning Weight YW - Yearling Weight Milk - Daughters Milk Production MARB - Marbling

REA - Rib Eye Area

Percentile Ranks: Percentile ranks indicate where this animal’s EPDs rank vs. other non-parent animals in the RAAA database. A 1% rank indicates that animal is in the top one percent of the approximate 150,000 non-parent animals in the

Max Acc. The presence of these indicate Genomically Enhanced EPDs. The GenEE symbol indicates genomic data obtained through DNA at RAAA.

$Profit GE symbol indicates genomic data obtained through DNA at Zoetis / Dollar Profit team to ensure the highest possible accuracy for non-parent bulls.

You want to talk about a curve bender, this lead off stud is THE ONLY 1-A BULL IN THE BREED WITH THIS COMBINATION OF CED AND WW! Notice he balances so many other profit improving traits with his excellent EPD line. How does 10 different EPDs that rank in the single digits sound? He also sports one of the best $ spreads in the breed with off the chart ranking for $P and top of the chart for $R, $F and FERT. Throw in his super appealing type and kind along with his outcross genetics and we can see superstar moving a tremendous amount of semen. Join us and share in the profitability of this future breed leader.

302

WOW! Say hello to your heifers’ new best friend. With his off the chart rankings for both CED and BW I’d imagine a heifer could sneeze and have a calf out of this guy. We’ve worked hard to build you multi-dimensional bulls like this that offer calving ease, performance and end product merit. Take a look at the incredible 23 stars that he has earned. You can have it all! Be prepared, a lot of times the second bull to sell is the buy of the sale.

BROWN GTLS

K6257 / Lot 302

OH, MY! Here is the highest $Profit Red Angus bull in the sale. Take him home and have your cake and eat it too with his off the chart rankings for fertility and end product merit. If you are serious about improving the profitability and sustainability of both you and your commercial customers’ operations you had better tie into a bull like this outcross deluxe. It’s bulls like this guy that are the reason that we’ve invested in and believe in the $Profit system.

If you missed out on the previous bull, here is a chance to redeem yourself with this ¾ brother. Complete on Sure Fire daughters sure do click, and by both his name and his EPD and $ line you can see that He Does It All. Whether you need calving ease, performance, fertility or end product, he has you covered. Most importantly he offers tremendous profit potential with his incredible $P, $R and $F.

Red Angus

Really, it’s pretty simple if you want to improve the profitability of your (and your clients’) operation, just buy top of the breed $Profit bulls. Search our entire catalog and you will see (and reap) the rewards of our diligent focus on profitability. We all know that the biggest profit driver is fertility, and this guy has it in spades. You can see how he earns such an impressive $P when you combine it with his outstanding $F.

If you want to put some stretch into a set of calves and give them that “extra rib” look, you’ll want to have this dark red stud on your list, he’s as long as a rope. If you came up a little short on the previous lot, you’re in luck, this high quality bull is a full ET brother. Better yet if you did get him bought, load up this one too and imagine the consistency and quality of their balanced trait calf crop that is loaded with fertility and profitability.

The next great frontier in the cattle industry is efficiency and to that end we have invested greatly in order to seek out individuals and sire groups that excel at this trait. Look at his off the chart ranking for F:G and his 5 star score for efficiency and just think of how far he can get you ahead of the pack. Notice also that he offers big time outcross Black Angus genetics, with the efficiency leader Absolute. What more could you want when you throw in his high-quality phenotype and incredible volume?

These Sure Fire daughters sure do crank out the herd bulls. Take a look at this guy with his phenotype that is a customer favorite year after year with his tremendous volume and you can see why Black Angus are found in the first 3 generations of 80% of the top 10 most used Red Angus bulls of the last year. This stud knocks it out of the park on end product merit as well with a 163 IMF ratio to go along with off the chart ranking for both MB and $F.

It will be easy to find this dark red stud out in the pens. He is loaded to the hilt with overall quality and muscling along with tremendous volume. This is one of the most stylish bulls in the sale, he is definitely a “front pasture” type of bull. His genetic merit is just as impressive as well with outstanding growth combined with good calving ease. If you’ve yet to market on a grid you might start with his off the charts MB,

Efficiency is the name of the game.

We came up with our unique star rating system in 2004 to simplify purchasing bulls. I’m very conservative on handing out a 5-star ranking on any of the traits, but I’m hyper-conservative when it comes to heifer calving ease. When you buy a calving ease bull, you’re getting a calving ease bull.

Lot 603 is ready for the big leagues and backs that up with contemporary group crushing ratios of: 113 weaning, 119 yearling, 110 IMF and 103 REA. Her sire, Energize, produced the two high selling bulls of 2022 at $185,000 and $130,000. Her equally awesome Black/Red SureFire dam, has maintained a 374-day calving interval as a 5-year-old and earned progeny ratios of 107 weaning, 110 yearling, 103 IMF and 103 REA.

Sell more Prime, but buy less corn is exactly the profit equation this powerful heifer predicts with Top 1% ranks for both Marbling and Feed Efficiency. In addition to outcross genetics, greatly increased access to progeny data is one of the reasons we ventured into Black/Red matings over 20 years ago. A Black Red Angus half-brother to this female purchased from our program in 2020 produced the $400,000 breed-record price bull for Pieper Red Angus last spring.

Lot 605 is a 7/8 sister to Lot 603, and they both carry the first services to sell from Brown Authentic K104 – The Genuine son out of an X-factor dam that is featured in our October 2023 Red Angus bull sale thanks to his 21 CED to 126 spread, 1.09 Marbling EPD and amazing indices. Lot 5 certainly advances the argument that faster genetic progress is made through combining the best of Black and Red Angus. She also proves that a heifer with “off-the-charts” Feed Efficiency (F:G) and $Profit can be equally easy on the eye.

Capturing the biggest PRIME premiums require both exceptional quality grade, faster gains and heavier payweight. Lot 607 delivers all of the above in spades and backs it up with a breed-leading $Feeder value. Better yet, she’s on her way to the front of the cow herd: just three months away from having a Cornerstone baby after conceiving on her first A.I. service.

Our family invested in the collection of Feed Intake data in the fall of 2015. After 8 years and thousands of head of feed efficiency data, we’ve made some outliers and Lot 608 is one of those outliers, but she’s no one trick pony. Check out her best of breed ranks for: carcass weight, marbling, ribeye, and heifer pregnancy. The G A R High Security JSF 4005 bull calf she carries could raise the bar for the entire Black/Red Angus gene pool.

Our policy is to sell every female as a 4-year-old, so buyers get a predictable female just entering the prime of her productive life. Except for this policy, Lot 609 wouldn’t be leaving Throckmorton County. She has earned her elite donor status with superior genetics for fertility, feed efficiency and pay weight and progeny ratios of 110 weaning, 107 yearling, 105 IMF and 111 REA. Best news - this is a two for one special – She’s pregnant with a Tehama Tahoe heifer.

This female epitomizes our Black/Red philosophy. Her sire, Sydgen Enhance has progeny in the Red Angus database and easily clears the top 1% hurdle for growth, gain, carcass weight and marbling - all while improving calving ease, fertility and feed efficiency. Her dam, Y6648, has 106 progeny to her credit including two high use Red Angus A.I. sires: Brown Oracle B112 and the $115,000 Brown BLW Fantastic C5959. More recently she put another son, Brown JRAR End Zone H6629 to work for Select Sires.

WFCC MS REVEL Y6648-F8097

Here’s a maternal half-sister to Lot 610 and full-sister to Brown Oracle B112, one of Red Angus’ most influential sires of the past decade. She more than lives up to her famous cow family, with progeny ratios of: 112 weaning, 114 yearling, 101 IMF and 113 REA. She maintains a 376-day calving interval and has conceived first service A.I. each year; no wonder she earns top ½ of 1% rank for Fertility.

We love the depth of body, spring of rib, fleshing ability, and udder quality of our Success daughters. Lot 625 is no exception. This is one of the best balanced and phenotypically pleasing females in the sale, and is pretty much the perfect female to carry off her mating to GB Fireball 672, who brings over 1600 progeny records to the table in support of his marbling EPD which is two standard deviations beyond the top 1%.

BROWN MS WAYMAKER J787

This heifer’s sire, Brown GTLS Waymaker G5505, may be the most accomplished Oracle son to date. We had the misfortune of losing Waymaker to injury, and there is limited semen availability. Lot 626 appears to be on her way to being a moderate, easy fleshing problem free brood cow that is within striking distance for every economically relevant trait.

Full sister to Lot 626. This coming two-year-old ranks better than the top ½ of 1% for both Fertility and Feed Efficiency —that’s pretty much the definition of Sustainable Profitability in the Beef industry. The smart play might just be to own both sisters; it’s like getting the best of our Black/ Red program while saving two generations.

BROWN MS MERLIN J788

Getting the best from each flavor of Angus is our goal when making Black / Red matings. With lot 628: we sought to combine the foot structure, docility and tremendous spread from low birth to powerful growth of Merlin, with the breed leading fertility and marbling from Sure Fire.

Red Angus

If you’ve been watching the progress made on improving Feed Efficiency from the sideline, Lot 629 could put your program into the starting lineup with her top 1/10 of 1% F:G rank. This genetic gem is equally ahead of the pack when it comes to fertility, and is linebred to an Angus sire with over 20,000 progeny records and over 5,000 daughters in production – all the guesswork has been removed.

MS REDEMPTION A7018

Here’s the first chance to obtain the service of MSF Swagger G072J, and get one of the really high horsepower females in the process. Lot 630 combines two of the most prolific dams in Red Angus history. Abigrace L7730 is the breed record female for progeny and progeny sales at over 400 head and $2 Million respectively. Her paternal grandam, Y6648, the dam of the $115,000 Fantastic, $36,000 Oracle and Select Sire’s up and coming, Brown JRAR End Zone H6629.

Lot 631 is a paternal half-sib to the $100,000 sire, LSF SRR President 8177F, and on the bottom side she comes from the Della cow family which is responsible for some of the highest selling individuals in the entire breed over the last couple of years. This is one of several females in the offering that is well beyond the top 1% for Fertility.

632

As we approach the halfway mark of the sale we find one of the real “Front Pasture” females in the entire offering. Phenotypically she does it all. Her sire, Perseverance, was the leadoff bull in our 2016 sale going to Select Sires and Lundgren Red Angus Ranch in Oklahoma.

2023 hurts, because this is the year many of our Fantastic daughters are going to leave the herd, due to our in-house rule of selling every 4-yearold. Lot 633 is from one of our most functional cow families. She is as functional as she is easy to look at. Already she has built up a 377-day calving interval and a 105 average progeny weaning ratio.

Prime has become the carcass premium to target as loads of “program” cattle are routinely exceeding 25 Prime – which is more than double the industry average.

If you’ve been struggling to get your hands on Genuine semen, Lot 639 can help you out; she’ll calve in early January with a Genuine heifer calf.

This beautiful daughter, out of the $80,000 Ranchmaster, was the result of mating half-sibs. Similar linebreeding has resulted in some of the most successful, and widely used sires in both Angus and Red Angus populations. Lot 640 comes with elite genetics to improve calving ease and reduce birthweight. She can mass produce those higher value “dual purpose” bulls that ranchers can use on their heifers, then move onto the cow herd as they mature.

A quick glance at her weaning, yearling, ADG, carcass weight, marbling and REA EPDs and you’ll understand why Lot 641 dominates the GridMaster and $Feeder indexes. You won’t have to wait very long for her to earn her keep; the projected EPDs on the Cornerstone bull calf that’s due in January are in a league of their own.

The deep ribbed heifer that sells as Lot 642 is the only daughter of the high powered Angus sire, G

Bonfire in the offering. On a Red Angus scale, Bonfire’s EPDs are well beyond the top 1% for growth, gain, carcass weight and marbling. Lot 642’s really deep-bodied dam maintains an amazing 324 day calving interval and an average progeny weaning ratio of 104. She delivered her second calf, two days prior to her third

This Charter daughter earned her rarefied Marbling EPD with a 124 IMF ratio. She is the first calf from a highly fertile JR Fast Forward dam, being born 2 weeks before her dam’s second birthday. Fast Forward is a featured Angus sire in the ORIgen sire battery.

Turning Confidence Plus genetics red has become the “Go To” plan to create high-selling Red Angus. In the spring of 2023, Brown CRSB Confidence G1410 a Black/Red Confidence Plus son sired a new breed record price bull at Pieper Red Angus and notable high selling herd bulls at Berwald Red Angus in South Dakota and Wedel Beef Genetics in Kansas. Lot 644 has half of the work already done, and takes it a step further with her pregnancy to Tehama Tahoe due right after the first of the year.

Her dam is sired by the $115,000 Brown BLW Fantastic C5959 and has average progeny ratios of 105 weaning and 111 yearling.

Brown Ms P707 Y6648 is one of those rare cows that stays relevant long after most are forgotten. The dam of Oracle and Fantastic is omnipresent in this catalog and sets a rock-solid foundation as the maternal grandam of Lot 655, who is one of the more feed efficient females in the offering.

Lot 661’s sire, Sure Fire, is one of the Angus breed’s best options to improve calving ease, marbling and fertility, and has over 8000 progeny records. That kind of accuracy adds to the reliability of our Black/Red matings. Her breed-leading marbling EPD is supported by a progeny ratio of 138 for IMF.

GUARANTEE 1) Technology is helping identify numerous genetic conditions that have been in the general cattle population for many years. Those known today include: Arthrogryposis Multiplex (AM), Double Muscling (DM), Dwarfism (DW), Hypotrichosis (HY), Alpha-Mannosidosis (MA), Neuropathic Hydrocephalus (NH), Osteopetrosis (OS), Protoporphyria (PR), Pulmonary Hypoplasia with Anasarca (PH), Syndactyly (SN) (Mule Foot), Tibial Hemimelia (TH), Neuropathic Hydrocephalus (NH), Contractural Arachnodactyly (CA) (Fawn Calf Syndrome), Parrot Mouth and Developmental Duplications Mutation (DD). Most of these are believed to be simple recessive in inheritance. These condition can be effectively managed by strategic DNA testing and avoidance of breeding carrier females to carrier bulls. All potential carriers of any of these defects will be tested with the results printed in this catalog or in the Sale Day Supplement. Animals tested as a carrier of one of these genes are noted with a (C) after the abbreviation. In the case that an animal is homozygous for that gene, then they will be listed with an (A) after the abbreviation.

2.
