Rachel Our beloved donor cow, Rachel, has been the anchor of our success at Kastel Show Cattle from the beginning. This amazing Meyer 734 daughter has consistently been churning out the hits in the form of herd sires, donor females, and winning show prospects. Rachel is the dam of JFK Mind Bender by Starburst, the Kastel herd and AI sire who is a preferred choice for Shorthorn Plus calving ease, color, and quality in a doubleclean package. Mind Bender progeny are being met with rave reviews and are bringing home purple from coast to coast. Rachel’s son, JFK Dirty Thoughts by My Kind, is gaining steam as his first calves hit the ground. And JFK Cutie Pie—full sib to Mind Bender—is the dam of JFK Russian Gold, who sold one-half interest for $14,500 to Joe and Josh Beukema. Russian Gold calves will be hitting the ground in the spring. Recent daughters include a $7,500 Maximus fall-born, a Bodacious at $5,750, and a Broker daughter—from an embryo purchase—sold for $9,750 and is off and winning for the Mogg family. Early calves from Rachel include a $23,000 son and three heifer calves by three different sires that averaged $8,750. Rachel will go down in history as one of Meyer 734’s most powerful daughters, and she passes it on. She has stood the test of time, to say the least, and now her sons and daughters are starting to produce elite stock—just like we knew they would! The 2018 crop from this great cow is her best stuff yet, including two very exciting heifers by Firewater and Troubadour. We would like to thank the Hartman and Mogg families for purchasing Rachel’s most recent embryos. There won’t be many more opportunities to own a piece of this incredible cow, so be on the lookout for her progeny in this year’s sale.

2018 Kastel Show Cattle & Friends
Heifers Lot 1: JFK Rachel Ray DOB: 2/18 Sire: Reimann Firewater
Dam: Rachel
This heifer is out of the most popular Meyer 734 female of all time. She is probably the heifer that resembles Rachel more than any female we have had. Here is a chance to own a piece of what I like to call “MiniRachel.” If I could go back to photograph Rachel 21 years ago, it would look like this heifer. White-booted, blaze-faced, freaky-necked, monster-footed, with the LOOK we drive so many miles to find. This is the kind I dream of making a pasture full of. We are selling half interest, with the option to double down on the hammer price for full possession. Let’s partner up to let Rachel’s next generation fill our pockets with green and make the backdrop kind!
Lot 2: JFK Blonde Ambition DOB: 2/18 Sire: Troubadour
Dam: Rachel
Another absolutely amazing heifer out of Rachel.You can’t go wrong with this white-faced smoke heifer. She is feminine with plenty of top, and possesses a soft look on the profile. She is fancy, almost freaky through her shoulder and head set—enough to make a cow man drool over that neck extension. And talk about prance—she is going to be one who turns it on in the show ring. We again are selling half interest with the option to double down on the hammer price for full possession. Not many chances to own a Rachel daughter left, as we generally maintain them for our own herd.
Don’t miss your chance to own a daughter of Rachel, our powerhouse Meyer 734 cow who has been making the right kind for 21 years!

Lot 3: JFK Milania
DOB: 2/18
Sire: Maternal Made
Dam: Ms. Wahoo (Irish Whiskey)
Oh baby…this is my kind of heifer. She has that soft, soggy side, big top and muscle, and yet has enough extension in her neck. As you keep reading through this catalog you will notice I will preach a few things, and she has them all: structure, balance, rib shape, and smooth shoulder with some extention to the neck. She moves around so soft on her squishy joints, like all the Maternal Mades I have had. This is the kind you can drag around the show circuit and then bring her home and make her a front pasture cow. Milania is out of our donor Ms. Wahoo, who has not disappointed us yet. She produced a One in the Chamber steer that sold to Matt Lautner and was Reserve Champion Steer in Iowa. Her sibs sell as Lots 18 and 70.
Lot 4: JFK Halo
DOB: 12/17
Sire: JFK Mind Bender
Dam: PB Shorthorn
YES! Mind Bender can make the super-feminine kind that can show with the best of them. I have loved this heifer since she hit the ground. She is what you mean when you say COW POWER! She has the perfect set to her hind wheels, excellent hip stucture, giraffe neck, and smooth shoulder. I’m not sure there is much more you could ask for!
Lot 5: JFK Sangria
DOB: 12/17
Sire: JFK Mind Bender
Dam: Lana
The big, sappy-bellied, maternal machine donor Lana has never disappointed us. Lana is sired by the legendary Shorthorn bull Trump and backed by the most influencial Red Angus donor LANA 4111J, the two-time National Champion. This Mind Bender daughter has Lana’s look, with a better front end and all that big, belly-dragging middle most beg for. This one has “cow power” written all over her. All the maternal donors behind Lana are incredible, and that makes this female an even more valuable breeding piece!
Lot 6: JFK Show Princess
DOB: 4/18
Sire: FSF Near Perfect
Dam: JFK Lady
When you talk about a heifer having that show ring look, Show Princess is the perfect example. She knows how to turn it on and has just enough spunk to give her that upheaded look. She has great extension through her neck and a smooth shoulder. She’s big topped and has just enough muscle expression to set her apart from the others in the show ring. We can’t wait to see Show Princess grab PURPLE this year!

2018 Kastel Show Cattle & Friends
Lot 7: JFK Ooh La La DOB: 4/18 Sire: Unfinished Business
Dam: JFK Robin
Wait a minute…Robin has done it again! She’s produced a full sib to the many-time Champion Market Heifer shown by Madison Emelander, also Champion Market Heifer in MI Shows points this year. This heifer is going to give the steers a run for their money, just like her sister did—grabbing Top 5 Overall several times against the steers. She’s monster-footed, massivetopped, square-hipped, with some neck extension, and boy can this girl get out and move. Watch out boys... Ooh La La is coming to grab some PURPLE!
Lot 8: JFK Nadine
DOB: 2/18
Sire: Red, White, and Roan
Dam: JFK Izzy
Shorty Plus heifer that has cow power backing this one! She is out of my favorite Headhunter female, Izzy, who has made so many good ones. Her granddam is the smoky donor April Jean, who I had to have out of the Foundation Female sale. This cow family is a little later maturing, so don’t give up on this special gem.
Lot 9: Miriam
DOB: 2/18
Sire: In God We Trust
Dam: Blue Moon
Who wants a smoky female that is a maternal sib to the many-time Champion steer in Canada? This girl can flat get out and move. She has the right angle and set to her shoulder and legs. Smoky heifers like this don’t come along every day! Backed by Blue Moon donor, who has made so many great ones over the years. Consigned by S&J Cattle
Lot 10: JFK Sia
DOB: 3/18
Lot 11: JFK Rhianna
DOB: 3/18
Sire: Silverias Style
Dam: Maximus × Rachel
Lots 10 and 11 are backed by two of the FAB FIVE Maximus daughters out of Rachel that are making a huge impact in our herd. They possess what I strive for in a cow...balanced, good-necked, with plenty of rib shape on good feet and legs. Grab these maternal machines in the making.

Lot 13: Ellie
DOB: 3/18
Sire: Man Among Boys
Dam: Dr. Who
She might be the most unique MAB female to sell this fall. Hop in the truck and go find me one with some growth to her that is this marked up, cool-headed, freakynecked, that can motor boat around with all the deer around here. This one is special in so many ways, including following in the footsteps of her sister, who sold to Texas for $29,000 a few years ago. She what I like to call a PURPLE CHASER. Consigned by Schneider Farms
Lot 14: Pip
DOB: 3/18
Sire: Man Among Boys
Dam: L102 (Mossy Oak), dam of Huff N Puff
This sale is packed with the good stuff that I’m excited to show off to you all on October 7! Here is a product of the most profitable gold-enriched sale around the Frozen Gold—a really special female that is a maternal sib to the $150k promo bull Huff N Puff and our upcoming donor Powder Puff. Pip is one that is easier to match up because she came back THF! Consigned by Douglass Farms
Lot 15: Janis Joplin DOB: 3/18
Sire: Unleashed Dam: BC Lookout × Meyer × Bandridge Rita J039
It tooks some sweet-talking to get this female in this sale, so bid often and don’t let this baby girl slip by! I’ve put on thousands of miles in my “Green Machine” this past breeding season, sticking eggs and AI’ing, and I have to say every Unleashed I’ve come across is absolutely awesome!

Lot 20: JFK Loni
DOB: 2/18
Sire: Solid Gold
Dam: She’s Got It
Well, the time has come. I finally had a heifer out of my She’s Got It donor, who has produced four straight fair Champions, including the Pump Daddy steers that have been in a league of their own the past few years. This smoky female is not the hairiest, but talk about quality—from feet and legs to rib shape and extention and how that shoulder lays into her. Congrats to Cami Ford on having Grand Champion Steer at the Washentaw County Fair with Crush, a maternal sib to this future smoky donor.
Lot 21: Daisy Sire: I-80
DOB: 3/18 Dam: Dear Abby
Dear Abby (Heat Wave × Reimann/Pryor Whiskey donor Diamond 289) is off to the right start to leave her footnotes around here.
