Welcome, once again, to the 5th Western Exposure Bred Female Sale. It feels like yesterday I was getting ready for the first sale in a foreign land called Iowa. I was a nervous wreck hoping at least five people would show up. Luckily, Nick and I were well supported and we are still thankful. I feel like I have put together a set this year that will not disappoint. I focused on females with bone, power, great fronts, and maternal genetics without steer pedigrees we all too often see. Many of the female sales have become ports to dump the females that don’t sell the previous fall alongside their brothers. Nick and I have made it a passion to offer only maternal genetics, and with the exception of 3 or 4 lots, this group is strictly maternal. Many of the females are maternally bred on the top and bottom side of their pedigree to be mama cows. I feel if you are wanting to raise steers, females or show heifers this group can get the job done and fill anyone’s need. Please realize these have not been babied nor had any special treatment. They are presented in their working clothes with minimal fluff and puff. The cows weaned calves this fall or were spun from fall calvers to springs. These are real cattle for the real cowman. I thank you once again for the interest and look forward to seeing everyone in Dunlap January 6th.
- Trevor Roche
Welcome to the 5th annual Western Exposure. Without a doubt, this set to see in person, from top to bottom, is exciting. These should go out and go rite to work for the new owners. The pedigrees have a ton of maternal bred into them and stem from some great donors and true momma cows we run. Whether you want to breed these for females or raise show steers, there are many options to do so. When on-line and private treaty calf sales started in September, up to this point, the good ones have sold very well. The feeder cattle market and replacement females are commanding top dollar in November through December as I write this. You have to own the factory! Good Bull + Good Cow = Good Calf. Don’t rely on just the bull! There are many great females in this sale. The response from the past four years has been very positive. Each year several people tell me, “Hey, that bred heifer calved unassisted.” or “Hey, she had a nice heifer calf”. Make plans to be in Dunlap January 6th to own one of these great bred heifers, cow, open heifers or bulls I have brought to town.
- Nick Weaver
“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.” - Andy and Larry Platner from Lisbon, Iowa WESTERN EXPOSURE • PAGE 3

Lot 1 is probably the best club calf making female I have ever brought to town. She is a complete freak in terms of thickness, muscle expression, yet still having an extremely feminine presence to her. I could paint Goodyear on her side and you would think she belongs above a football stadium giving us aerial shots of the game. Her middle is literally blimp-worthy. And don’t forget her functional rear treds! We all know Whiskeys can sometimes get a little tight in that hock and pastern, but not this one. She has the great soft pastern that is essential to keep these sound show steers moving after 600 pounds. I think she can do big things someday and would love to keep a piece of her if anyone is looking for a partner. I can make the eggs, I just need someone to sell the calves! Selling half interest with the option to double to bid and own her all.

Who doesn’t love a baldy!? Especially when she is a full sib to a recent Denver champion. This one originated at my good buddy Mike Kuhlman’s. He is as honest as they come and told me she would be a great bred. He didn’t lie, however, he’s not completely honest. He has his own par 3 hole at his house and he does lie about the yardage so he can always win closest to the pin! I’m still bitter about getting beat! Going on three years and still haven’t hit the green! This lady should do great things in the club calf world. I can see her becoming a donor for just about any herd and she’s backed by a great donor that gets it done year after year.

She is possibly the stoutest heifer in the offering. I don’t think a guy could pack more product in a hide unless it was ground. She is destined for greatness raising fuzzies, and even though she is as stout as most fat steers, she keeps a maternal look. One of the most unique heifers in the offering and certainly one I would love to keep tabs on because I think she will do great things.

A really long sided, deep made Whiskey that will bring a whole lot of good to her half of the equation when crossed with a fuzzy midget. She is very functional and has the look of one that will love her baby. Some people want to focus of making them choked necked, and yes, I love to look at a zipper front as much as the next guy; however, as the neck gets sexier, the maternal traits get weaker. If you don’t agree with that, go study a herd of giraffes and get back to me with what you learned. Ever seen a bag on a giraffe? Me neither. The show ring is taking all the good out of the cow and we will soon be so backwards in our breeding we will be starting over. Don’t chase the trend!

Brazos?! Yeah, I thought the same thing. I speak Spanish and “brazos” means “arms.” That even left me more confused about her sire’s name, but whoever made the decision to breed one of the best females I have ever sold to a bull no one has ever heard of, made a good decision that day. I own this one’s mother with Scott Jorgensen of Adair, IA. I got her as a calf from Scott and she was just like her mother, a little late maturing, decent as a calf, but amazing as a bred. Her mother was a stand-out in the 2015 sale bringing $19k. Her first calf sold for $7k in last year’s sale as a bred heifer to the Kingpin of Kearney, NE, Ward Eckloff. Ward told me, this fall, she has already entered his donor pen! It’s more difficult to become a donor for Eckloff than to get into Harvard! This heifer will follow in her sister’s footsteps as well. She papers as a Purebred Simmental to boot! The options are endless with this one. If I didn’t own her mother, she would still be in Idaho.

She is everything I am trying to raise and seeing her in the ring will be difficult. She has half-blood papers, which gives endless options when breeding. She comes from one of the best donors on my place with a history of raising great ones. Last year, her maternal sister was purchased by Doris and Pryor. Ask the Baron of Woodbine what he thinks of her, if you get a chance. I can almost guarantee they will be lifting a finger or two for this one as well.

Last year, we had Wynonna and Naomi Judd as the sisters and this year I think we are going for more of a Venus and Serena feel. Here’s two Profit daughters out of one of my best PB Angus donor cows on the place. She raised a high-selling open heifer last year and another that was traded in the Foxy Ladies Sale of James Felt. Donor 471 is probably one of my most fertile donors as well, averaging over 15 eggs every time she has been flushed. I really like both of these sisters in terms of their capacity and volume. They are very sound at the ground and ooze functionality. I have more confidence in these two than a winning season for the Huskers in 2018. Detmer was supposed to fix the offensive issues for BYU and now he’s looking for a job. Hopefully, Frost can resurrect the Huskers and bring back the golden years. WESTERN EXPOSURE • PAGE 7

Broker still does an exceptional job. If it wasn’t for the stupid EPD system, we would still be heavily using him. He sires great cattle and did just that here. Lot 16’s donor mother has done an exceptional job with raising a state fair champion, as well as two division winners at The NAILE and American Royal. She came from my buddy, Kim Klotz, and he told me she would be great one. He must know his stuff because she has exceeded expectations by ten-fold. This heifer is as soft made as a purebred as I have seen. She has a shot of color which will increase your chances for a blaze. When you combine all of that with the backing of her mother, greatness is in her future.

Breed her to a straight haired bull, not even a good looking bull, like myself, and you’ll end up with some darn good looking offspring. I consider myself the Sooner of bulls: not much to look at.

This freak of a heifer comes from my good buddy, Tracy Irish. Many of the hunting pictures come from him. He runs many cows with us but his are almost always walking towards heaven or hell. They never touch a flat surface unless they are on a truck. They graze a lot of dry mountain range and forest country. This heifer is out of a bull I sold him that was raised by a great Meyer I got from Dave Duello nearly 10 years ago. She has probably been chased by a wolf, seen hippies doing hippie things in the forest and had multiple dogs on her heels numerous times, but one thingÍs for sure is when you see her, you find a spot for her in your herd.

This heifer originated at the marque of Dunlap, Joe Sullivan’s. She is really nice and a blonde out of a great cow. She will be ten times better after she gets home for a month. These Monopoly breds never take the over 1,400 mile journey very well. Joe is one of my favorites, they don’t come any better, and the only thing better than a visit with him is his Border Collie dog. I don’t know if he has any grandkids yet, but I already know he is more proud of that dog than his own kids. Granted, she is a special one! She came from me and I have four kids (it would have been five if the other could talk), furious at me for weeks for selling her to him!

I picked this blonde up from my good buddies, Les and Loren Vogler. They don’t come any better than those two, in my eyes. She is a full sister to Lautner’s bull, Hawkeye. Now, I must admit, I don’t get too excited over a sister to a clubby bull. In fact, if Hulk Hogan had a sister, I think she would probably look like this heifer, but there is still plenty of good someone can use. She’s as stout as they come and awesome haired for a blonde. She has not been tested but based on the type of hair I would call her clean as well.

This heifer originated at the pearl of Elgin, NE: Stotlz Exotics. Every year I stop, we play a few games of OZ. OZ is basically horse, but as Jack says, “If we played horse we would be here all day, because we don’t miss.” Well, I’m here to tell you, he wasn’t joking. I was never going to be the next Michael Jordan, but I can certainly play basketball better than fit a steer, and he kicks my butt every year! I haven’t even came close and it only takes two missed shots to win! Not only can he breed cattle, but Jack can shoot a basketball! Hopefully this heifer can shoot out a calf and become a great female for whoever ends up with her. She is as powerful as they come!

I own this heifer with Ashtyn Danker of Avoca, IA. I bought her out of their pasture sale last year with the hope of Ashtyn showing her. They don’t come any better than Ashtyn on the halter. She had a very successful show carreer, including being named the Champion Char Composite at Arksarban this past September. I think she has many possibilities in front of her. Raising steers or heifers, she will get it done. She is so soft and smooth made for a half blood Char the neighbors bull will be jumping fences 6 feet high! I would be interested in keeping a part of this one, but she will be selling outright.

She is bringing her A-game to town and you will want a piece of it. She was purchased by my best friend out of my bull sale. He raises onions like you Midwesterners raise corn. I told him I would just run her with my heifers and get her bred, but when I saw her this summer, I told him we are becoming partners and she is heading to Iowa. She is everything a guy could ever beg for in a female. The goodness she carries in her midst will do wonders for whatever she is mated to.

Here is a really nice Opportunity daughter out of a great donor of mine that has put numerous calves in the sale. I actually sold these embryos to a friend and bought the calf back. It’s one my favorite things to do. In order for these sales to work, I firmly believe, a little give and take needs to be in place on both ends. I love to buy back heifers out of my females. Please don’t hesitate to call me this fall to come look at what you’ve got. Just this past fall, I was able to get sixcalves bought back off my buddy, Doug Hansen, who has always been a great supporter of the sale. Doug was the co-volume buyer this past year and spent a few days touring the west with me. We had a great time and I’m sure he’s still offering prayers of gratitude that he lives in Iowa and not Idaho after seeing how we roll way out west!

One of us has a weight problem in this picture, and it would be both of us if I was in the picture! She is just an exceptionally easy doing beast with a load of volume and capacity. She has never seen a corn bucket in her life, but I had to kick her back out on grass because she got so big! Little different pedigree here to allow more options when breeding season rolls around. We all know it comes way too quick! Before we know it, we will be breeding cows the first of April for those good doing late-march borns which were posted on a blog in January.

The most intriguing and unique animal in the offering. I only know two of these breathing in the world. One was named Champion AOB at the NAILE and the other somehow wandered her way to Idaho. I don’t know how or why, but she is a half-blood Char with a black hide and a full sib to the white heifer, Lot 32. Now, I’m as loyal as they come, but I’m afraid if I was Mr. Interstate and had a white kid and a black kid with my wife, I would maybe be browsing the yellow pages for a divorce attorney, but that’s not the case here. She is what her pedigree reads and her future looks bright. I think she could be big time with big returns in her future. I want to keep a piece of this one. Selling half interest.

Well here is an actual success story. I always try to do business with people I enjoy and respect and when Rick Schulz told me I should buy this heifer I did just exactly that in his online sale last year.

You club calf enthusiasts need this heifer as bad as the University of Nebraska needs a football coach and the quarterback, offense of line, d line, secondary, running backs and receivers. Wow, that was a tough year. I can’t say much though either because my BYU Cougars could have been beat by any high school state champion in the state of Nebraska, at the high school level. But, we did beat Nebraska. I’m sure I’ll be seeing lots of Iowa State gear at the sale since they had an awesome year, and kudos to them, but lightning only strikes once, and I don’t know if a heifer like this will come to town again for quite a while! Take a deep seat, bear down and get her in your inventory.

She takes the cake for being the best torched female in the offering. It almost looks like she was professionally pictured. Ever notice how the pictured cattle in the catalogs all have perfect top lines and no brisket? Something really weird happens once they get to your house. The top lines become normal and the briskets get bigger. This one looks even better now after her picture! Take her home and send me a thank you for raising her. She’ll be a steermaker.

Never be afraid of trying something new! Her pedigree might mean absolutely nothing to you. Don’t feel bad or dumb, because it means nothing to me. Let the heifer speak for herself. I have a very difficult time finding a hole in her. She’s long sided, broody, sound and functional. She fits the part even if the professionals haven’t heard of her pedigree. Remember, the Titanic was built by professionals and the Ark was built by a first timer. Which of those turned out better?

If I called her a Style x Whiskey GD the blogosphere would be going nuts. She is as great as they come. The only hole I can pick out of her is the pedigree. If we closed the sale books and just judged the cattle on how they looked that day this heifer might be the best. She came off a commercial set of cows that are running Simm/Angus bulls on Maine X cows. So she could be a Meyer Son x Draft Pick GD or she could be a Santa Gertrudis for all I know. One thing I know for sure is she is the real deal!

Is she big? Yes! But, if you haven’t noticed by now, these clubby bulls we are supposed to be using to raise the next state fair champion aren’t getting any bigger. They could all beat Peter Dinklage in a game of limbo as long as they were sound enough to walk under the bar. Needless to say, a little size and functionality will never hurt. She has the pieces and parts, just not the pedigree. And really, had I just made one up, you would have her on your short list. Make up your own so you have a story to tell your wife when she asks what you bought.

She is a really fault-free, no complaints heifer. After a peaceful session with the weed burner, she looked like a cougar had got a hold of her. Thus, no picture in the catalog, but in all honesty, she is a nice animal. Buy her with confidence because you will need it when it comes time to run after something that could easily kill you if you went fisticuffs. Good luck and smile in your picture when you get your cougar, because you will be in next years catalog!

I don’t know who started the trend or why everybody has followed, but for some reason in the club calf industry it is not cool to answer your phone, clear your voicemails nor even setup your voicemail. I have never understood this concept and if you are one of them change your ways. I can call any business in the United States and someone will answer the phone and, if not, they will call me back. I think this is the only industry that does not believe in the personal communication of making a sale. What’s even more fascinating is I can call Dave Faber, Jon Schaben, or any 900 number, (do they still exist?) and they always pick up if they are able and I know they are way busier than I have ever been. This cow is just like a steer jock’s voicemail. She is FULL! For a PB Angus to have this much power is hard to find. Usually a powerful Angus comes with a Brahman front, but not this brute. She is long fronted, good at the ground and bred for calving ease!

Another Angus that possesses everything good about the breed. She’s different than most. Angus has focused so hard on EPD’s that the cattle are losing bone, meat and structure. Buying cattle on EPDs is like a college admissions office selecting students based on their parents’ resumes. I think it’s one of the biggest scams in the whole industry. People buy into them and they literally tell you nothing until numerous progeny have been registered in an honest, ethical way. I can see them working in the Dairy world, where everyone is on an even playing field, but in the beef cattle world, environment rules the roost. In my part of the world the way to get a bigger calf isn’t by using big weaning weight EPD bulls, but to pray for a rain mid-July. That makes more of a difference then any bull. This female has passed the test at home and will do a great job in the Midwest. She was spun from the fall herd and I really wish she had stayed home.

She’s old, but she’s good. In fact, she has put three bred heifers in the sale over the years and I have sold numerous steers out of her. She has never been flushed but probably should have been.

This dude is flat cool. He is so stout, soft and sound for a ¾ Simmental. His mother is one of my best donors and she works awesome with Broker. One must appreciate his perfect blaze face and his hair coat is borderline club calf worthy. Don’t bother with leasing a bull that can’t sell semen to clean up your cows. Take this guy home and raise some replacements that I will gladly buy back, or raise a set of feeder cattle that don’t make you want to puke when you get your check from the sale barn. I set a record this past fall with a 540 pound steer that brought $71…that’s $.13 cwt….New record!
