Cottonwood Cattle - 2025 Spring Sale Catalog

BY PR IVAT E T R E AT Y

Seth, Kali & Shay Flower

Welcome!

Shane & Madisen Flower

It’s an exciting time to be in the beef industry with prices being at record setting levels. Now more than ever it’s imperative to make sure you are maximizing the results of heterosis and crossbreeding to ensure you are sending as many pounds across the scale as possible.

We say it every year, but with confidence, I welcome you to look through our best set of bulls yet. We transitioned a portion of cows to a recipient herd. Putting embryos in is a way to ensure we are maximizing our best cows, mated to the best bulls the industry can offer. Because of that you will find a powerful set of full brothers, and one bull that is as good as we have ever had the privilege to put the CCSK prefix on. We are committed to bringing you better genetics out of exceptional females year over year.

Seth & I had the opportunity to attend Fall Focus hosted by the American Simmental Association in Amarillo Texas the end of August. We travelled down with our good friends Travis Wulf & Justis Rydeen. Learning more about the feed-lot sector, end product awareness, and consumer wants helps us better understand industry demands coming down the pipeline. This education ensures that we as breeders continue to focus on breeding cattle that are going to be successful for our customers, and secure their longevity in the cattle business. We feel this set of bulls meet those needs well, and are ready to go to work for you.

This is the first crop of breeding age calves out of the new herd bulls we invested in, CLRS Kudos & ES Knoxville. Kudos is proving to be the big growthy power bull we were hoping he would be, and Knoxville is a more attractive calving ease option. Just as when we purchased those bulls, we encourage you to use the EPD’s to help make your selections.

They really do help make the expected calves more predictable.

We welcome you to join us for our bull showcase on January 18th. Once again we will have food & refreshments all day, and the bulls will be on display for viewing. The pen will officially open at 10 a.m. that morning, and the bulls will sell first come first serve. If you are unable to be there the day of the showcase you can still make your selections over the phone by calling one of the numbers listed on the next page. If you are seeing this after January 18th, give us a call to set up an appointment to view the cattle.

To all that have purchased genetics from us in the past, thank you for your continued support of our program. To those that are new, thank you for your consideration, and we look forward to working together to find a bull to meet your needs. Please give us a call with any questions you have on the offering, we love to talk about cattle!

Sincerely,

Seth & Kali Flower

Hook’s Geneva 2G - Dam of 402M

• A beautiful blazed face bull that may be the best one we have had the opportunity to put our prefix on • Dam is one of the last cows to be purchased out of the illustrious Tom Hook herd • Offers an outcross pedigree from a lot of popular genetic lines right now • Structure, soundness, performace, and look he is the epitome of what we work to raise • From birth his docility has been impeccable, just like his father

We have had a fun run with 402M, and we’d like to continue that journey. We are offering 1/2 semen interest with possesion negotiable. We brought him out to the show ring in December, and we feel he has potential to do more. We are looking for a partner that is as excited about him as we are. Call Seth or Kali to discuss more about joining our journey with Mufasa 402M.

A big thank you to everyone who helped us achieve this goal!

Hook’s Charisma 103C

In this catalog alone you will find 5 sons, 1 grandson, and 1 great-grandson of the highly influential donor dam Hook’s Charisma 103C. We purchased 103C from Tom Hook in the winter of 2022. We suspected she would do great things for us, and we were proven right with her first flush to LBRS Genesis.

There are 4 full brothers on the next page as a result, and 6 heifers in our replacement pen. An extremely potent flush throwing us more good than we could have imagined.

If you are looking to get in on 103C genetics; don’t wait. Unfortunately we lost 103C to a lightning strike this summer. We did flush her one more time this spring to LCDR Anthem with those calves coming this spring.

• This mating doesn’t need an introduction - Full brothers were sale highlights in 2023 • A predictable mating we have had a ton of success with- Full sisters are beautiful • A22 is still out producing herself, his maternal brother (natural calf) is 420M

Bull Development New this year, at weaning, we turned the bulls out on 10 acres of grass to continue developing in an environment they were designed for. They got ample amounts of exercise and oppotunity to just be cattle. This also allowed us to know who could perform in a lower input environment, anything that didn’t was cut.

Prior to moving into the yard, we transitioned them on to a TMR ration. This transition started in September and they moved into the yard in November.

We feel this style of development will suit these bulls for the long haul.

All of the bulls selling this year are tested HOMOZYGOUS Polled
