It is with great pleasure and anticipation to present the 2015 offering of the Western Exposure Female Sale.

I would first like to thank all the supporters from last year and their interest in the cattle. I had great reports of the cattle performing at the highest level and saw many of the offspring in the September pasture sales. In fact, I know of many calves that sold for more than the factory on the first shot.

After testing the waters last year and having a successful sale I knew without a doubt that I needed to up the ante and bring a set of bred females that could really improve the quality of any herd. This group truly is that special, and I see many future donor candidates in the offering, including some that have been in embryo production with successful results.

Please realize many of the females have been selected from the heart of our herd.

They were not under special treatment the past year or in a dry lot on the fat ration.

The majority of the cows have weaned a calf this fall or were fall calvers and spun for the spring. The heifers came home off of grass mid-October and the cows stayed out till the first of November. They have not been pampered and will not require special treatment. They are bred to produce, not just picture. I feel anyone could incorporate these western genetics into their herd and feel the financial impact the first year and for years to come.

My good friend Nick Weaver is bringing another nice group of bred females that are my kind.

We like the same cattle; big middled, nice fronted and good pedigreed with a cowy look that is desperately needed due to the lack of focus for maternal genetics. We both certainly feel this offering will be the start of many successful cow families and donor cows for years to come. Please do not hesitate to call if you have any questions.

No reaso n to tag th e are prett y easy to se, they Reagan - pair up: 3 Thatcher - 7 mos.

- Trevor Roche

“We couldn’t be happier with the cattle we bought from Roche Cattle Company. The semi load of bred heifers calved in February 2013 in our hoop barn. They were very quiet and gentle to work with, easy calving, and extremely maternal.

The weaning weights were through the roof and the keeper heifers look to have some real promise for the future of our herd. You can’t go wrong with sound, functional cattle that are maternally and performance driven with elite show pedigrees. Thanks again for sharing your genetics and a piece of your program. It was great doing business with you.”

You don’t say “Whoa!” in a mud hole, nor when this female walks in the ring, and the bidding begins. She will be easy to spot and sticks out like a turd in a punch bowl. Not only does she have an awesome look to her but she’s great haired, well bred and has a great personality. One of my favorites in the sale and a special individual indeed. Built like a great crossbred, but she comes with Angus papers. You will be hard pressed to find a purebred Angus female that carries down so much into that lower rear quarter. She is a special lady and a future donor prospect for sure.

I’m not going to try to act like I have a clue about the Charolais breed because I don’t; however, I do know good stock when I see it. Last year’s Lot 1 was a Purebred Char that found her new home with my hillbilly friends: Nissen, Johnson and Matthews in Terril, IA. She raised an awesome herd bull for them on her first shot and is currently in embryo production (or just finished). I don’t want to ruffle any feathers because they hit a home run with her, but, if you ask me, this one is even better. She is so different from her counterparts in the breed. She is moderate sized, soft sided, possess a ton of shape and carries that down to a well-structured package. She was raised on a rocky desert ranch in Eastern Oregon.

It’s not very high and the grass is weak. The last thing a Char would be called is easy doing, but she is truly a special individual to look the way she does. Her sire goes back to a little known bull called Troubador? I hear he has helped the Char breed a tick. How cool is that to have a PB Char with a shot of Troubador for the clubby look we all want!

I treat my cow sale like the old naval generals, who would burn their boats after landing on shore and going to battle - forcing 100% commitment.

You don’t need a masters in geography to know Idaho is a long ways from Iowa. My cows are like the soldiers. Once they see the trucks leave the yard after dropping them off, they realize there is no turning back.

“No sales” aren’t allowed at my sale; there’s nowhere to come home to.

These cattle will find a new owner and you better try hard for this one.

Lot 10 is a special individual and I’m thinking I should have saved a life boat for her and sent her back to Idaho. She has a front end that is unheard of for a Simmental; but, the most amazing thing about her is the amount of maternal power she exhibits with the freakiness of her front.

She has an unseen spring of rib and shape that is packed with red meat.

The only time it’s okay to raise your hand at a female is when this gal walks in the ring and the bidding begins. If it was me, I would hit this one a few times to say the least! If I could pick one out of the whole group to duplicate for a 1,000 head cowherd here she is. Everything about her is ideal, her size, thickness, maternal development. You name it, she’s got it! Plus, this one was raised in the high country of Idaho where they run from wolves and chase down bears when the feed gets tight. The only time an Iowa cow runs is when they hear a feed truck start! If you want to see what a real cow is; buy this one and thank me later this summer. They don’t come any better than her. She is one of my favorites hands down.

If you don’t like her stay home and watch your Cyclones play their bowl game - ya right! Go Broncos! BSU!

This Char is a lot like my mother in-law. They are both a little easier to get along with when a shot of Ace is involved. She does have a tick of attitude, but she also has a zipper front end and a soft middle. That’s hard to come by in a PB char package. She might be on her tip toes for a tick but she will settle in to her new home just fine. Bid with confidence. Mark Johnson bought one last year with the same attitude. If you get a chance, ask him how he got along. The heifer settled in after a short time and her Frank James heifer sold in his September sale for $4,500. Paid for mom and made $1,000 dollars the first year!

Here are three full sib embryos to the lot 40. Right out of Colyers tank.

Take advantage on some of the most well known Hereford genetics in the world!

LOT 40 This beast of a Hereford originated from the same herd as the now famous Miles McKee. He only won Denver, Forth Worth and was third in class at his county fair. He sold for a stingy $600K to some vets specializing in eye surgeries and semen sales. I was in at $599K, but I just couldn’t make him pencil at $601K. That alone makes this heifer great! She was born in the same barn, grazed the same pastures and even jumped and bent the same gate as Miles! How cool is that?! Actually, she is really sweet to be around and built extremely different for being a PB Hereford. She is soft haired, huge boned and super stout. I always say you can look at ones tail to tell you just how naturally stout they are and take a look at what she’s dragging behind her. When she croaks you could chop it off and use it as a baseball bat. This Hereford deal is smoking hot and this one could raise clubbed up freaks or stout purebred show heifers. She’s the real deal and extremely different from her counterparts! Full sib embryo lots sell as lot 40A. WESTERN EXPOSURE • PAGE 13

I can say with a surety that I will never be an ambassador for the Hereford breed. After taking this one’s picture (a true test of patience) I think I could handle 10 more kids. She is mellow headed and only gets excited if a nuclear bomb goes off next to her but please take note, she is very well balanced and extremely attractive. She will raise an overpriced show heifer all day or cross her up for the southern boys.

She does have a great pedigree for raising steers or show heifer. Did I forget to mention she is TH free but dirty haired! The breeding possibilities are endless with her. Take a look at her picture.

One of my favorites for someone looking to bring a bred heifer home that will make your neighbors jealous and your banker happy. She is the right size, good pedigreed, awesome made, and extremely goose fronted. Usually as the skin on the neck tightens so does conversion and milk.

Ever seen a heavy milking giraffe? No such thing, same in cattle. This one is probably as extreme as I would want without losing the characteristics that will make her a great cow. Bid with confidence, she’s the right kind for the time!

This spring I was talking to a friend of mine in Nebraska that was getting ready to shave the winter hair off his cows. Really guys? We have raised our cattle to the point that we have to tell them when to shed? We complain about the youth today for their lack of work ethic, social skills, addiction to video games, etc. Look at almost every club calf herd; what is different? They are basically in the same boat as the entitled generation!

They can’t calve on their own, they need convinced to like the calf that they will probably starve, round bale feeders are needed 365 days a year and they hopefully breed back every other year. It’s time to get back to the basics and let cows be cows. This one will do just that. She’s the “farm kid” of the entitled generation. She will lay down, spit it out, lick it off and have the afterbirth gone before you even know she had it. Yum!

You know that other day I felt like she was an Irish Whiskey x Chill Factor.

Mystery #2 coming at you here. I love how this heifer is built. She’s not some little curled up nosed, freak haired, calf starving vessel. This thing is a COW! In Iowa they measure calving ease by how many stitches it takes the vet to close her side. We never have this problem in Idaho, we have a natural way of finding the hard calvers. It’s called the “calve or die trying program.” We can’t get them all checked and this type of female is just made to spit them out. Lick them off, love them, and would even keep her baby mowed out if there was juice and clippers in the pasture. She will be a great cow you can take that to the bank.

You are looking at a former Arizona National Grand Champion Heifer for my good friends Brad and Dawn Gohr. She has gone on to produce like they hoped with a really nice pair of show heifers they sold in their September sale and a herd bull as well. She’s great to be around and has a neck that goes for miles. If I was to criticize the herfs I would want to trim their front third (for a start, I won’t mention their inability to get out of a mud hole, lack of desire to live, cancer eyes, and urge to prolapse when planes fly over), but not this one. Rocket fronted with a killer profile.

She’s AI’d back and ready to crank out another great one.

These next two lots originated in Washington at White Rooster Cattle.

913’s full sister is currently in ET production at home and doing a great job. I purchased the two sisters immediately after seeing their donor mother. She is a good sized, sappy middled OCC Just Right beast. Plus, she got out one night and was hit by a semi on the freeway and lived to tell about it. Now if that isn’t a great donor cow, I don’t know what is. How many of your donors have lived through eating the Kenworth emblem at 75MPH? These Whiskey daughters are pretty hard to move right now so, someone think about my 4 hungry kids at home in Idaho and throw a few bids this girl’s way.

I have chased this gal around home for a while. I don’t want to sound cocky, but I really don’t know how you change her. She is flat good and stunning to the eyes. There is stout and then there’s this one. I don’t know if they can get any thicker. Plus, she is rocket fronted with great hair and absolutely no concerns when it comes to structure like most stout ones. She has raised some awesome heifers I have kept back and few bulls we have sold as well. This is a good one here.

This Who Made Who cow has done a great job. She has had a pile of heifer calves that are currently in production including her natural calf in the sale, Lot 65. She is destined to have a bull so look out for the stallion to work his magic and sire you a humdinger.

I love it when I read in a catalog about a cow that has averaged 7K on her last four head but, the cow only brings 3K. Either we are the worst investors/cattle buyers in the world or one of us is stretching the truth. Well, that will not be the case with this redhead. She has never been AI’d and I have no clue what she can do. In all honesty, her last three calves have sold for an average of $1.65 @ 625 with a 3% shrink. She did raise a great heifer this year that will be in next year’s sale as long as the bank keeps turning a blind eye. She has all the right parts to raise a great one. Plus a little color always helps with catering to the 8-11 year old steer/heifer buying bracket.

Here’s a true testament to the productivity and future genetic progression of the club calf industry. This Dr. Who female is a knockout to look at and an absolute freak in terms of her neck extension and overall power.

That’s the good news, the bad news is that she won’t settle. She never has had a natural calf, but I had to see what she would do. I flushed her to Monopoly, put in 4 of the 8 eggs, and the result was two pregnancies.

The heifer calf sold for $3,500 in my online sale, and the bull brought $7,250. He sold to Randy Schurring of South Dakota. He was TH clean and had more hair and power then most double dirty calves! Now please realize those are prices for cattle standing in Idaho. Study your maps, and take note that it is a long way from Idaho to Iowa. When you apply the 4X Iowa multiplier to her she’s already a 40K cow on 2 ET calves. I also have two full sib ET pilgrim calves out of here right now that I will use to make replacements in Idaho. I have about 20 eggs in the tank and it’s time for someone else to give her a try. I thought of just holding her out of the sale but there was room on the truck so see her in Dunlap. She will be a tick greener since she was on pasture till Dec 1st. I recently flushed her in November and she produced 5 out of 8.
