I can’t believe this is the 13th year we have had the privilege of putting on the Western Exposure. It is always a lot of work, beginning in April, and especially during the fall to get everything ready. I truly look forward to every second I get to spend in Iowa. I honestly think of Iowa, and the people I deal with out there, as my sec ond home and family. I greatly enjoy and appreciate the friendships I have been able to develop during my time in God’s country.
I truly believe we have improved the cattle every year and one will truly be impressed with the quality from top to bottom. Our philosophy is rather simple around here: we focus on raising cattle that are versatile for all markets. I don’t think you ever want to chase one trait or one market. Eventually, the winds will shift and one will be left standing at the altar of a dead market. We strive to market a female that can be bred multiple ways and click mated to many different sires.
Out here, in the Wild West, it takes a different animal to survive. One can’t understand until they have seen the country were we run our cattle. Not only do they have to raise a marketable calf, the cattle have to deal with predators, fires, drought and work hard to find grass at times; the majority of these females were raised in these conditions and know how to survive. I truly believe that is why they are received so well in the Midwest. These cattle know how to clock in and clock out everyday!
Feel free to call whenever to talk about cattle. I am proud of this group. No, they aren’t fluffed up, super clean, and clipped for a show, but they are honest. They have never had a bath and trust that policy won’t be changing around here. We don’t have time to baby these things. They are in their working clothes and ready to go to work. They will only look better once they make it to their new home.
Thank you for the interest and we look forward to see everyone in Dunlap on January 3rd.

Lot 1 originated from my good friend Darrel Gamble. Darrel came from the Republic of California as a political refugee to retire and raise clubbies. Unfortunately, some health troubles came his way, and he had to liquidate his entire herd. He offered them to me first, and I did the unthinkable and paid the full asking price! Yes, you heard that right. Me, the guy who considers haggling a sacred duty. That shows how much I think of Darrel, I couldn’t even whittle on him a little! He’s a great guy with excellent stock. Darrel breeds his clubby heifers at 2-years-old and allows them to develop over time. There may be some wisdom in this practice! Tucked among the pairs, open cows, and heifers I scooped up was this heifer calf. At first, I struggled to judge the quality because the yearling was smaller and in poorer condition than usual. She was a skinny, green redhead, but she had the bone and presence of a special creature. Deep, dark, and built like a four-wheeldrive tank with leather seats. This one had a bigger blow-up than I did my first year of college. She is massive from every angle — huge center, big pin set, broad base, and that extra power we lie awake dreaming about. She’s still soft-shouldered and good-necked enough to be pretty, which honestly feels unfair to the rest of the offering. If she were any stouter, she’d come with a governor-required weight limit sign. Big-time cow prospect and one of the stoutest females offered this winter anywhere. Selling half interest-call for details.

I was just going through security for a quick three-day trip to Florida—because when you’re married to my wife, you find flights booked without warning. I had my BYU bag with me, and after the TSA agent made sure my Sour Patch Kids weren’t laced with explosives, he apologized to me for BYU not making the playoffs. He thought they got cheated but admitted he was just happy Notre Dame didn’t make it either. That’s when I realized: if even the TSA agent—the kind who’s patting down 90-year-old grandmas for “terrorist threats”—gives you a nod, you know you’re in the right. And that’s exactly the kind of approval this blaze-faced female will get. She’ll gain your approval on sale day for sure. When you look at her leg set, her power, her bone, and her structure, you see how she pulls it all together into this powerhouse that’s still athletic. I don’t know how you could make one any cooler. She’s truly one of the best creatures we’ve ever brought to town, and I think she could become a big-time donor down the line. SELLING HALF INTEREST - CALL FOR DETAILS

That kind of longevity and power doesn’t happen by accident. This heifer reads maternal, long-term, and flat-out powerful, with the rib, base width, and brood-cow look that made her mother a household name in the club calf world. She’s the kind you buy when you’re thinking five, seven, even ten years down the road.

And let me tell you, those dear older ladies greeted my kids like they were the prodigal children returning home, hugging, kissing, and speaking a flood of Spanish. My kids’ faces were a mix of confusion and quiet desperation pleas of “Help, Dad, what do we do?”—and that’s precisely the face this heifer gave me when we tried to get her to look at the Mexican boys trying to get her ears in Spanish. I have a couple of boys from south of the border who helped me torch/clip, picture, and video the entire sale in 5 days. They are absolute Rockstars! It just goes to show you that you don’t need a flat-brim hat, hey dudes, or a worn-out CTS Cadillac to handle show cattle.

Who cares or puts value in what they say? But here’s the kicker: even though the College Football Playoff committee didn’t yell the chant, they certainly reiterated it rhetorically with their actions. As our head coach said, “They could have at least put BYU in the graphic!” Just like how the committee shunned BYU, I slightly shunned this heifer. She should have had her picture taken!

Then he would say the words that still haunt my dreams... “Stop them!” with the optimism of Elizabeth Taylor’s 8th husband walking down the aisle. It was like asking the Dunlap JV football team to stop Derrick Henry at the goal line. Once those Salers were moving, they were NOT stopping, and you could guarantee that after the Salers ran me over, my Dad would be right on their tail to remind me how much of a coward I was, but with PG-13 verbage.

Lot 52 is another one of those females we could call “age-advantaged.” Yes, she’s a three-year-old, but that was always the plan. She was supposed to be bred as a two-year-old and came out of the Darrell Gamble herd. These three-year-old heifers are really something else—massive, maternal, and looking like full-grown cows, but they’re coming with their first calf, and it’s not because they sat with a bull for a year without success. These older heifers are easy on the eyes, much like the older heifers in the show ring. I still don’t understand why we think it’s okay to enter a November-born heifer into a March show class. We’ve got to do something about that—maybe weigh them up and stop looking at birthdays, because the amount of fibbing going on is starting to make these breeders/families look like Pinocchio.
Classy, powerful, and built with that trademark Simmental punch.

Lot 64 is a beautiful Snip-nosed High Maine female out of a donor cow I own with Matt Dornier in Iowa. She’s a nickel smaller because her recip mother stifled herself about a month after calving, basically putting this heifer on a starvation plan. But don’t let that fool you. I could see her raising some great show heifers. In fact, we’re going to start flushing her donor mother early this spring so we can make some of those beautiful Novemburary show heifers. But remember, you register them on April 2nd, so no one gets suspicious! Keep an eye on this one, she’s got all the goods, just in a slightly more compact package.

Sometimes calving show cattle pedigrees make me about as nervous as the third monkey walking toward the ark in a rainstorm—but this one is the exception. This kind can lie down, calve easily, and go right to work. She is just plain good quality stock, the type that can ring the bell as a first-calf heifer. Her Maker’s Mark heifer calf should have an awesome blaze face and will undoubtedly be marketable as a show heifer. Practical, powerful, and the right kind to build around.

Last week, my 11-year-old came home and told me he got into an argument with his teacher. Usually, I’d be quick to remind him to respect his teachers, except when trying to convert the class to socialism, but this time it was all about the moon landing. He told her it was fake, and when she asked him how he knew, he said, “Tell me what happened to the cameraman filming their departure?” Sometimes the cameraman is in the wrong spot. Especially when it came to this heifer, it definitely was the cameraman’s fault. I’m no professional and don’t know all the fancy camera settings/edits. But in real life, she’s drop-dead gorgeous, even if she doesn’t look that great on the screen.
We’re quick to cuss out these college athletes for hitting the portal any time they don’t get playing time, the coach yells at them, or they just get bored—but nobody ever seems to give the same heat to the coaches who swear up and down they’d “do anything” for their guys… and then a week later are $5 million richer coaching the rival. I genuinely feel bad for Iowa State football fans. Campbell was their guy. Their identity. Their hope. And now he’s off to a program that literally played in the CFP last year, and fired their coach after the first three games this season. Mark my words: unless something crazy happens, Campbell will be gone from Penn State within four years. I really wish he could’ve stayed in Ames and kept them relevant, but with the current climate and the money it takes to compete, Ames might be on its way to becoming a ghost town for good football unless corn gets to $10/bushel. Hawkeye fans shouldn’t chuckle too hard at Cyclone Nation’s loathing. I’d rather sit through my daughter’s six-hour dance-recital dress rehearsal than watch the first quarter of an Iowa game. At least the recital has rhythm. Unlike today’s college coaches and players who come and go, Lot 75 is the kind that plants roots. This female will produce for you every single year. She’s beautiful, she’s maternal as they come, and she has a future that’s every bit as bright as Cyclone fans wish their Saturdays still were.

My wife says if I get to work crazy hours, then she gets to plan crazy vacations; it’s a tradeoff. This summer, we were off on one of her adventures, and my Mexican guy called me in a panic because he couldn’t find this heifer (it’s his favorite). I chalked it up to my “something has to die policy” and moved on. He looked for a day on a timber-filled mountain, and after putting his nose to the ground, he found her on the neighbor’s. She was in great shape because she figured out how to wait for the elk feeder to spit out the daily feeding. She didn’t grow any horns, but her condition is top-notch. She’s a beautifully marked female that is a wide load. Moderate in her size but massive in her build. I prefer a bigger animal, but for those wanting a ground pounder, here she is.

This is hands down one of my all-time favorite cows I’ve ever brought to Dunlap. If you remember last year, we sold a cow to Wade Rogers for $16,000—yes, $16,000 is no pocket change for me, and I’m guessing not for Wade either—but she was an absolute star. And that star went on to raise a $73,000 steer this fall on her very first calf for Wade. Honestly, I should probably be Wade’s financial planner, considering I’m out here making him money without even charging a percentage—still waiting on that Christmas card, by the way! But jokes aside, this cow is a mirror image of the one Wade picked out. He’s no dummy; he knows quality when he sees it. She’s long-fronted, feminine yet powerful, with a ton of bone. Her Wynn In Doubt heifer calf is in our replacement pen at home and is absolutely gorgeous—and I’m not just saying that to sell you on her mom. She’s the real deal. Selling one half interest.

This female started as an embryo in Idaho. I sold her as a pregnancy to a good friend. Later that fall, a trader took her for his online sale, worked a bit of his magic, and changed her pedigree from what it originally was. She sold for nearly $10,000 as an open heifer. That was the last I heard of her until last spring, when I found her again in another online sale as a bred heifer, with yet another new pedigree. It’s amazing how that kind of trader magic can increase the “value” each time. It really gives the industry a black eye because we’re not always honest with pedigrees. I’m sure I’ve sold something that wasn’t quite rightt on paper, but never intentionally. I just wonder how many good bulls or even clean up bulls are never promoted because they never receive the praise they deserve. With this female, it was just about making her more “marketable”. I don’t know what’s wrong with her pedigree. It just wasn’t “hip” or “cool” enough for some, but she’s the real deal, and one I absolutely love. Her Hereford markings are amazing, and she’s one of the best Herefords we’ve ever brought to town. She’s right in her prime, I’ve flushed her twice and banked 35 embryos.

The neighbor to our AirBNB was a government official - aka cartel memberand had a PB Charolais herd with 100% American genetics. One morning I was out walking around and ran into the hired man. He was sorting out a heifer to AI breed. I helped him cut her out and offered to save the vet bill and breed her. Now I can say I have bred cattle on multiple continents - BTO!
Over the past few years we have placed thousands of frozen embryos from numerous producers across the United States. We noticed a great range of conception rates and quickly realized we needed to do quality control. In 2022 we built our own in-house, IVF Center where we are able to aspirate and use our own in house lab and technicians to provide a quality consistent collection. Conception rates reign supreme in the embryo transfer game. By eliminating variables and inconsistencies we are able to provide our customers with a consistent conception rate making embryo transfer a profitable venture.
