Niobrara Red Angus - 2022 Red Redefined Sale Catalog by LivestockDirect

Welcome

As I begin to write this welcoming to the 2022 Red, Redefined Sale, it’s 3:04 am and I find myself driving through the night towards Western Oregon, so I can be on site in the morning to photo some Bet on Red consignments. Somehow, I’ve convinced Derrick Wood to help share the miles so that I can work on this catalog to meet our print deadline. The excitement and passion I have to make this first female sale at the homeplace in Niobrara, Nebraska a success, is the only thing keeping me awake. Earlier this week, 48 of the 50 lots in Red, Redefined had been pictured, 50 detailed footnotes were just written, and now I’m onto assembling the final pieces. I’m probably the busiest I’ve ever been, yet thinking about the upcoming offering and the adrenaline of trying to get everything done in a timely manner keeps my mind bright through the final two hours of our twelve hour drive. Anything Jeff and Tami Keller do, they do to the highest degree. They desired to become the best within a breed of cattle they fell in love with almost a decade ago, and with their perseverance, patience, and determination, I truly believe their herd sits among the top of the breed in North America. The passion and dedication NIO has to make progress within the Red Angus breed is unwavering. Each spring brings a new calf crop, and we have been incredibly fortunate over the past few years to see forward momentum every single time. Jake and I have worked hard to do our jobs as a Farm Manager & Marketing Manager to help keep Niobrara Red Angus headed in a positive position. To be honest, it’s been fun as hell to watch our dedicated efforts translate into success for the Keller Family & Niobrara Red Angus itself. The first Red, Redefined Sale was held in 2020 in an online format, where a group of our best heifer calves were marketed. Since its inception, we’ve had in mind to utilize this as our production sale; an in person, live auction at the ranch in Niobrara, marketing the female seedstock of our operation. It’s been a blast recalling all the information we’ve gathered on all these cows throughout the years. There is truly something for everyone, and the level of honest, phenotypic quality in this group of Red Angus females will likely go unparalleled this fall. We would love to invite each and every one of you to the ranch on Sunday, October 16th, where we will sell this incredible offering of Red Angus cows & heifers. If you have interest in adding to your existing herd, or starting from scratch within the Red Angus business, there is truly opportunity for everyone. We’d love to help you find the right red angus females to match your future goals. We Appreciate You All,

- Garrett Knebel

The Team JEFF & TAMI KELLER, OWNERS of Niobrara Red Angus, grew up in Niobrara, Nebraska. In their years around home, they grew up on Tami’s family’s cattle ranch, Leader Angus Farm, helping to complete the day to day of ranch responsibilities. Years later, after college and law school and establishing residence in Lincoln, NE, the Keller’s knew they wanted a connection back to their roots; also wanting their three boys Sam, Jack and Ben to have a chance to be involved in agriculture. Thus, Niobrara Red Angus was established. Although they are not on-farm most business days, the effort and team they have developed, they feel is second to none. JACOB BATHKE, RANCH MANAGER, resides and oversees Niobrara Red Angus each day. Born and raised in Niobrara, he is the fourth generation to graduate from Niobrara High. He manages and oversees the daily operations of the ranch, and is responsible for their wellbeing. He says he owes most of his cattle knowledge to Kent Snowdon, who got him started in the cattle industry about 15 years ago. Jacob graduated from Northeast Community College with an Associates Degree in Agronomy. He’s grateful for the opportunity to work for the Keller Family, and to be able to work with such high quality seedstock. He would also like to acknowledge and thank his brother Shane, and other friends and family that help him time to time throughout the year. MEG PENROD, OFFICE MANAGER, resides in Lincoln Nebraska with her husband Tanner, daughter Sloan, and their extra large sweet golden doodle Foster. Meg received her BFA from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln where she spent most of her time throwing pottery. She can often be found drawing, painting or creating some work of art in the middle of the night. She spent the last 12 years working in interior design but her love for people and animals is what drew her to work for Niobrara Red Angus. GARRETT KNEBEL, MARKETING MANAGER, resides in Bozeman, MT with his wife Katelyn. There they own and operate Storey Hereford Ranch & Harmony Hill, a progressive Hereford & Red Angus operation focused on seedstock for the commercial cow-calf operator. With a degree from Oklahoma State University, Garrett’s main responsibilities for Niobrara Red Angus include marketing, consulting, breeding, and seedstock selection. In his spare time, he travels the country visiting with fellow Red Angus breeders and judging livestock shows.

AND

Philosophy Vision

In the simplest of description, our long-term goal is to bridge the divide in the Red Angus breed between correctly structured “phenotype” cattle with a disadvantage in the availability of genetic data and information, with the typical, number-chasing U.S. Red Angus cow; genetic history and contemporaries of plenty, with a compromised foot structure that has simply been overlooked for far too many years. In our extensive travels, we have seen herds of all different shapes and sizes, priorities and unimportance’s, trends and age-old beliefs. Many, not all, of the cattle that appear to be the most elite in the Red Angus database, are in actuality some of the poorest footed, worst structured cattle in the breed that have compromised longevity. We are led to believe it’s because decisions have been made in a swivel chair, and not in the middle of their cowherd. Breeders that have mated cows based on the Planned Mating calculator on the Red Angus website have looked past the visual appraisals that HAVE to take place. Top 1% doesn’t mean guaranteed to breed for 5 years. More times than not, their feet are genetically debilitating and you find them shuffling in when the cow herd is gathered in the fall because their toes have grown crossed and they’re in pain. On the opposite end of the spectrum, we’ve found cattle that prove their longevity. Feet are not trimmed, cows live through their entire productive life and actually make you a greater return on that initial investment. BUT, if you were to look at their EPDs on paper, you may find yourself saying, “Why would I breed to this cow-killing, nanny-goat performing creature with the marbling of a Belgian Blue?” In reality, these cattle calve, perform, and grade equal to or even better than the data-focused cattle that clearly display a strong advantage in their genetic profile. Our thought is, why would I buy a bull perceived to be in the Top 1% for the Herdbuilder Index, when his toes are mal-shaped and I’m going to have to worry about him breeding enough cows to keep me in business?! In closing, our goal is the crossover of these distinct sectors of the breed. Our cattle may never be Top 1% for a certain trait, but if they prove to have longevity and sire calves that guarantee the buyer gets a solid return on his investment, then that’s when we know we are headed down the correct path. We are following that path now; identifying and utilizing certain bulls or cows that we know provide enough problem-free longevity and profitability for a solid ROI. However, it takes time; lots of time to identify those individuals. And it’s our goal here at Niobrara Red Angus to be able to offer that kind to you. “INDEXES & PERCENTILES SHIFT DRASTICALLY; DESPERATE AND BAFFLING. MONDAY YOU OWN THE BREED LEADER. FRIDAY, HE’S JUST A CALF.” Cattle producers sell their feeder and slaughter cattle based on what they actually weigh on a scale. When investing in seedstock, it is important to be provided with actual performance data rather than only computer generated projections that change weekly, can fluctuate dramatically and are only as relevant as the accuracy values behind them. EPDs are a selection tool but alone do not create great cattle; real breeding progress requires breeding beyond the numbers for real-world production traits. Selections and matings based on feet, udders, fertility and pounds; that has created consistency, progress, and lessened the cost of mistakes.

As Jake & I started to brainstorm on how to make the first ‘live-auction’ of Red, Redefined a truly memorable event, we knew we needed to offer the opportunity on a proven donor cow that is on the leading-edge of progress within the Red Angus breed. What better direction to take, than the most phenotypically-elite, jaw-dropping Red Angus female that we purchased from the 2019 Complete Herd Dispersal of U2 Ranch. To this day, I cannot mention a Red Angus cow that is more attractive than U-2 Lass 465A. Massive, Bold, Burly, Broody are some words that come to mind. Her skeleton, structural build, foot quality and angles are as elite and progressive as they come. The mother of U2 Malbec 104F, an elite Red Angus semen sire owned by Ovigenetics in Jalisco, Mexico, 465A has proven to be an elite donor cow within the Niobrara Red Angus program. With a few standouts retained in herd, and reports of exceptional calves from embryos marketed to fellow Red Angus breeders, this cow will move a program forward. It hurts to think about not seeing her every day at Niobrara, but we wanted to offer our very best in this first event held at the ranch in Niobrara, and 465A is just the cow to get people excited about the future of Red Angus cattle. Sells Open & Ready to Flush. Averaged 8 Conventional Embryos on 3 Flushes to John Wick, Dominion, & Resource.

In short, John Wick may be the most influential Red Angus bull in my lifetime.

His influence in this breed has been rare but ever-expanding. Why the use? Because he injects unique, highly soughtafter phenotypical traits into his offspring, consistently, that you can’t find anywhere else in a Red Angus bull. Lot 3

When sorting through heifer calves this summer, I wanted to offer the best heifers Niobrara could produce, from the heart of their herd. John Wick daughters needed to highlight this section. NIO Gloria 2032 is a royal pedigree, that’s phenotypically stunning. Out of a Signature x Six Mile Gloria 195B daughter, Six Mile Gloria 361T actually ends up on both sides of this heifer’s pedigree several generations back. I remember the days touring Fir Mountain, Saskatchewan and coming upon Gloria 746W, a favorite of many that toured the herd at SIXM. Fast forward almost a decade, we come to find the Gloria cow family’s influence among the most elite Red Angus seedstock in North America. Dark red, huge bodied, square, bold, and true, this heifer exhibits the Wick build we’ve all come to covet. She should prove to be a highlight halter heifer or future donor cow for any program pushing for progress in the Red Angus breed.

A favorite of many this summer, 2157 is about as right for the times as any heifer calf we could offer. Stemming from one of the most productive cows in the herd, 633C, there is defined consistency on both sides of her pedigree. Moderate, big-ribbed, opened-up and square, this heifer’s big boned, heavy structured build will catapult you towards the front of her contemporaries. Getting her photo a few weeks ago, she reminds me a lot of the High Selling John Wick daughter in our 2020 Red, Redefined Sale that sold to Kathy Lehman in Ohio for $40,500. Again, her kind is so hard to assemble, she would be a highlight heifer calf in anyone’s herd.

If you’ve not talked to me personally, I am extremely passionate about cattle that are consistent. With less risk associated in their progeny, they provide a faster return on investment and make flushing expenses seem like a confident business decision. NIO Boysin Berry 2004 is stacked on both sides with maternal giants that provide the peace of mind we all so desperately desire. H/H Adventure 0054 came out swinging in his first calf crop with high end offspring both at Niobrara Red Angus & Harmony Hill. Backed by the incredibly potent Rojas Moonbeam 7102, mother to Adventure, you’ll be acquiring a cow’s influence that is at the core of genetic decisions in Bozeman, Montana. Damar Boysin Berry C161 is a Mulberry 26P daughter that consistently produces one of the top calves in the Niobrara herd every year. Last year, her natural daughter by High Caliber sold for $32,000 to New Jersey, and those two daughters are incredibly similar. A head-spinning look from the side, 2004’s presence is undeniable. Bold, square, big ribbed, and cowy, we’re incredibly fond of her.

Another H/H Adventure 0054 daughter with a killer look, NIO Makita 2022 has the presence, profile and structural quality it takes to demand your attention. Her mother, 8075, is a beautiful Mission Nexus daughter back to our 5441 cow that is proving to have the longevity that keeps a place in business. If you pride yourself on finding the long-term, later maturing heifer calves that come into their own at the right time, you should study this heifer on sale day. All signs point to making a gorgeous, bred heifer that should be campaigned.

You couldn’t possibly get me more excited about a heifer calf with a big, big-time future… Period. This kind of mating right here is what had me excited about incorporating a different line of genetics, acquired from C-T Red Angus with C-T Reputation 0094. If you’ve not heard or noticed, reports on Reputation are quite exciting. A bull acquired with Overmiller Gelbvieh & Red Angus of Smith Center, KS, he was my favorite bull I laid eyes on during 2021 Bull Sale Season and he’s proving to be an incredible asset for each herd involved. 2019 is backed by a genetic-gem; a John Wick x Alana 13X first-calf-heifer with an immaculate bag. You couldn’t possibly acquire anything more currently relevant than NIO Alana 2019. With deep, dark red parents on both sides of her pedigree, she is a massive bodied, ultra-cowy looking heifer calf that screams maternal. Absolutely heart-stopping at the ground, these are the kind that elevate the Red Angus breed to another level. With 6 EPDs in the Top 10% of the breed, this heifer proves to be the combination we’ve had in mind all along.

Semen kept exclusively within the owner’s herds, and the only three units marketed bring $500 a unit, C-T Reputation 0094 is headed down the same prestigious path as Mr. Wick. Both Reputation daughters on offer are backed by first-calf John Wick daughters, only adding to the incredible influence that bull’s had on our program. NIO Meg 2007 follows the same type and kind as Lot 6, with an even more desirable EPD profile. With 9 EPDs in the Top 15% of the breed, this heifer calf could prove to be an elite donor female in any Red Angus operation in North America. Big boned, beautiful structured, long bodied, and broody, she’s headed in an extremely progressive direction.

A true sale highlight is this Resource daughter from the incredibly proven Blackbird 107X donor. NIO Blackbird 2300 is my kind to a T. Long, attractive, sound and the makings of an incredible bag, I’d argue this heifer could have as much upside as any. It’s no secret, the MRLA Resource 137E daughter’s work. With several in herd in Bozeman, and watching the bull become a bag-improver, I’d take as many of them as I can. With multiple high-selling daughters in 2021, and more to come in 2022, 137E is as consistent a bull you can use, doing a lot of very positive things.

NIO Lakota 2115 supports once again the direction we’re headed towards combining the breed’s most elite phenotype and genotype cattle. A stunning, amazing-structured heifer calf that is built for the long haul, 2115 also offers a very progressive EPD profile that is the result of some of our most proven herd bulls. LASO Bucket List E8G sired our High Selling Bull in 2022, NIO American Freedom 1005, bringing $46,000 to Nordlund Stock Farms of Minnesota, and he continues to impress us with his progressive build and EPD profile. Our young 9 Mile Darkhorse 8718 daughters are proving to be some of the best young cows on the place; this combination resulting in 2115 and it worked almost every single time. Pay attention here. She’s a beautiful heifer calf.

Top 10% Gridmaster, and 5 EPDs in the Top 20% of the breed, this one has what it takes to provide a fast return on your investment. Absolutely stunning to evaluate on foot.

For the first time in the history of U2 Beauty 113Z’s existence, here is the opportunity to purchase an assortment of bred daughters to add to your herd at home. There’s a reason 113Z’s influence is so sought after; what she does, she does consistently and arguably better than any Red Angus cow in the breed. Foot quality, udder structure, power, shape, and a bold body type are the traits she will inject every single time. She does it in her direct offspring, and her offspring are proving to pass on those same traits as well. Never before, and possibly never again, will you have the opportunity to acquire such a collection of her direct daughters. If you came to the auction looking for a donor cow, NIO Beauty 1186 could be the ticket. Bred AI to Duff Red Blood 18114, this should prove to you we are truly committed to offering the very top of the Niobrara Red Angus program. Sired by U2 Encore 285F, 1186 is what I would imagine 113Z looked like as a yearling heifer. The same head shape and body type, a phenomenal structural build, the makings of an incredible bag and a beautiful look from the side, there’s not much to criticize here. With true power cows on both sides of this pedigree, there are only exciting things ahead with 1186. Expected Due Date of January 5th, 2023, AI’d to Duff Redblood 18114.

Place all of that onto an immaculate structural build, and we’ve described one of the most high-level phenotype females in the entire offering.

Right back again with another dense, bold, productive 113Z daughter by U2 Encore 285F. We were encouraged to flush 113Z this way, and man were excited with the outcome. More size and stretch than a few of the other matings we tried, these Encore daughters have us convinced they’ll put front end bulls at the beginning of anyone’s bull sale. It’s worth attending the sale on October 16th to study them in person. We videoed these heifers over a month before sale day, and they’ll be incredible to see together in one place.

When sorting through the U2 Ranch Dispersal offering, the U2 Mission 61W cows were among our favorites and were proving to be worth having. Having AI’d and flushed a few cows that way, he is proving to make a very worthwhile kind here at home as well. This 61W daughter was on the short list to sell in last year’s Red, Redefined Sale in Bozeman, Montana, but proved to not appreciate the altitude, so we sent her back to the replacement pen in Niobrara. One of the more phenotypically attractive heifers in the offering, she’s long bodied, beautiful fronted, deep sided, and very sound. If you’re in the business of raising some show heifers, I’d have this bred heifer on my short list. She’ll do it one day, probably sooner than later.

This Foreigner 413B daughter hit me hard when she came in the picture pen. A nice, quiet, dark red heifer that is as cowy looking as any in the offering. Big bodied, bold sprung, smooth in her makeup and very sound at the ground, this is a bulletproof kind that fits the phenotypic mold we are striving for. Backed by the Damar Tarmily 016A donor cow, you can expect her to carry on a beautiful, maternal, attractive look in her offspring. Expected Due Date of February 14th, 2023, Natural Service to Milk Creek Vigilante 1400.

NIO Tarmily 1073 hit me as among the biggest ribbed, boldest bodied, moderate sized heifers in the offering. Another Foreigner 413B daughter, this time on an Indpendence x Tarmily 106A daughter, you can expect much the same in this female as the previous lot. Sound structured, easy fleshing, and bold, I’d expect this heifer to last a long time in production. We’ve since flushed the Damar Tarmily 016A cow to John Wick, and there are several very nice heifer calves that made the replacement pen this year of that mating. Expected Due Date of March 1st, 2023, Natural Service to NIO American Freedom 1005.

We’ve been one of a few to dive into U2 Nova 627F, and we’d encourage anyone to take some cows that way. These next 3 daughters all sired by Nova bring a lot to the table. NIO Lakota 1096 stems from a beautiful Weber Reform daughter backed by the prominent Six Mile Lakoto 35W cow. That Reform daughter made this female a deep, dark red that is ripped up with shape and power. Ultra cowy, sound structured with the undeniably attractive Nova head, this heifer will make a stunning cow in production.

Another U2 Nova 627F daughter, this time from a very productive Damar Redeeming daughter from the legendary Damar herd. A big outlined, long bodied, extended heifer that has the extra stretch our bull buyer’s always demand. Very sound structured and attractive in her lines, she’ll provide the foundation to support a multitude of moderate bulls potentially mated to in the future.

The final U2 Nova 627F daughter on offer is out of one of the most proven cows on the ranch, 3519. One of the original cows Jeff purchased from 5L Red Angus in Sheridan, MT, 3519 has continually produced one of the best calves in the calf crop every year. NIO Boni 1132 is a super maternal, stout constructed heifer that’s beautiful through her front one third. She strikes me as a female that could remain in herd for a long time; just like her mother. Favorable to the $46,000 High Selling Bull from the 2022 Bull Sale, NIO American Freedom 1005, this combination of cow families and genetic profiles should result in a fast return on investment.

Another highlight in the 2022 Red, Redefined Production Sale is this Resource 137E daughter from the C-T Verdi 2011 cow. Verdi 2011 didn’t waste any time over the last 5 years creating a permanent place within the herd at Niobrara Red Angus. This bred by 137E maintains 2011’s stunning, feminine, maternal look with added power and a very long-term structural build. Much the same, I’ll reiterate, these bred heifers from some of the most consistent cows on the ranch are a true feature. Take advantage of cow families that were acquired for good reason; consistency is key in our operation.

Among the youngest heifers we kept to breed this year was this Powerhouse daughter by the D249 cow. A favorite of many when they walked through the replacement pen this spring, this heifer has a look that is undeniable. Stunning up front, so level and attractive in her lines, and very sound at the ground; again, if you’re in the business of marketing some show heifers, this could very well be a female you flush in the future. Damar Bonnie D249 is a stunning donor cow that was purchased by Sam & Lauren Hunt of Troy, Idaho last fall when we opened the doors up for a few progressive Red Angus breeders to assemble a group of bred cows and heifers to support their endeavors moving forward. I’d find this one on sale day. Expected Due Date of February 8th, 2023, Natural Service to Milk Creek Vigilante 1400.

What a way to finish up the bred heifer section, right? Rounding out the bred heifers on offer is this stunning SIXM Warcraft 254Z daughter, back by a daughter of the Blackbird 107X donor cow. With a killer look from the side, in a nice, moderate size, this Warcraft daughter demands your attention. Warcraft 254Z has stood the test of time, breeding cows in a commercial setting in Canada for almost 10 years. There’s ultimate longevity witnessed on both sides of this heifer’s pedigree. With the breed ablaze by Bieber CL Energize F121, her first calf should be sired by a bull whose influence is as in demand as any.

When I asked Jake to help identify some cows in the herd that would make this inaugural Red, Redefined Sale at the ranch a true highlight, we both thought about incorporating this direct daughter of WCR Miss Kuruba De 2085Z. As we look back on the cows that have had the biggest impact on Niobrara Red Angus to date, 2085Z may very well be that cow. This daughter of Legacy A-314 has proven to be a cow worth owning. In 2021, Fischer Red Angus of Harlowton, MT selected her John Wick son to incorporate into their program. And most recently, in 2022, her Big Timber son was selected by The Klocke Ranch of Randolph, KS. Both past sons were big footed, heavy structured, rugged herd bulls that had an incredible look and presence. Owning 2085Z herself, we haven’t yet flushed D3. But we consider her a donor caliber female that, no question, deserves such an opportunity. Bred to H/H Adventure 0054, a bull where semen is not available for purchase, I’d expect this next calf to knock it out of the park. Expected Due Date of January 21st, 2023, AI’d to H/H Adventure 0054.

When I started working with Niobrara Red Angus back in 2017, it took me a few years to get a handle on exactly what cattle Jeff & Tami had already acquired. What I was amazed to learn after a while of studying pedigrees, was that Jeff had purchased a heifer from C-Bar Red Angus that ended up being a Full Sister to KLJ CLZB Complete 7000E’s mother, the $190,000 High Selling Bull from the 2018 Hueftle Cattle Company Bull Sale, sold to Hansine Ranch of Pierre, SD. To this day, the demand for the rarely available Complete sons and daughters is extremely high. A few years back, I flushed 609D to Pledge & Oracle, resulting in 9253 & 9254, offered in this year’s exciting Red, Redefined Sale as lots 42 & 43. C-Bar Jolene 609D and her daughters are as relevant and in demand today as they ever have been. With 609D favorable to Bieber CL Energize F121, her next calf could very well be a highlight bull for her new owner’s bull sale. Expected Due Date of January 12th, 2023, AI’d to Bieber CL Energize F121.

Another cow in the herd that will be hard to part with is Damar Red Berry D142. This Soldier daughter backed by a Mulberry 26P is the kind that keeps a place in business. Her bull calves have made the Bull Sale Offering in 2020, 2021, and 2022. Beautiful to evaluate in person, she’s a very feminine, attractive cow with a lot of presence and a gorgeous bag. D142 pregnancy checked favorable to one of our High Selling Bull’s from this past spring’s bull sale, NIO Bad Medicine 1126, selling for $40,000 Half Interest to Sunberry Valley Ranch & U2 Quality Seedstock in Canada. Semen will not be available for sale on Bad Medicine, and you’d have one of the first to even hit the ground. I’d put money on this calf to be something special.

One of the best investments Niobrara Red Angus ever made was buying an interest in U-6 Alana 13X from Six Mile Ranch in Fir Mountain, Saskatchewan. That cow is a true matriarch, with her daughters being among the top our ranch is currently working from. We won’t soon be parting with another daughter of 13X, as she’s now deceased, and we truly value every daughter we have. This Signature 295B daughter exhibits that mainstay 13X color, and is a big, powerful, broody cow with a beautiful presence. Again, favorable in calf to NIO Bad Medicine 1126, you’d be among the first with one of his calves on the ground. Expected Due Date of January 31st, 2023, AI’d to NIO Bad Medicine 1126.

NIO Shawnee 7015 is the result of an embryo purchase from Six Mile Ranch and is arguably as mainstay as it gets for the Six Mile program. If you’ve spoken to me before, I’m a very, very large U2 Reckoning 149A fan. Some of the best cows in the breed are Reckoning daughters, and I’d advocate he does as much to improve feet in the breed as any Red Angus bull I’ve witnessed over the past decade. Shawnee 116T is a true foundation cow for the Six Mile herd as well, stemming back to a tremendous number of cows still currently in their herd. A moderate, big ribbed, neat headed, attractive young cow with a great structural build. Favorable to her AI date to Duff Redblood 18114, we are very excited to get his calves on the ground this year.

Expected Due Date of January 31st, 2023, AI’d to Duff Redblood 18114.

831F is a beautiful, young cow we acquired as a heifer calf through the Bet on Red Sale out in Reno, Nevada a few years back; bred by the Hunt Family of Troy, Idaho. A Colt 45 descendant, that stems back to the C-Bar program on the bottom side, she is stunning female with a killer look from the side. With a great structural build and a nice, refined bag, there are a lot of calves left in this beautiful female. We’ve retained both of her first two daughters in herd, and her current mating to C-T Reputation 0094 should result in her best calf yet. With only two females in the offering carrying Reputation’s service, you’ll have one of the only progeny on the ground this spring, outside of the current owners.

A cow it won’t take you long to find on sale day is Damar Lucky Lady D114. A large outlined, dark red, big-middled cow that’s as soggy as they come, she’s got a structural build that extremely progressive. A New Direction daughter whose figures are in the upper percentiles of our herd, there’s honest mating versatility in this female. Taken AI now three years in a row, her last two daughters by John Wick & Mission 61W we’ve retained in herd. With a nice, level, refined bag, and favorable in calf to our beloved Darkhorse bull, this could be a phenomenal mating if either a heifer or bull. We’ve said before, our young Darkhorse daughters are among our best and proving to be exceptional young cows.

A cow with a long, productive history here at the ranch is Damar N327 Bonniebell A196. A direct Mulberry 26P daughter, out of the famed DFRA Bonniebell N327, this cow’s pedigree was at the heart of the Damar Farms program. A past flush cow for us, A196 has 5 daughters on the ranch we’ve retained in herd. A big outlined, massive-bodied, bold-made cow with a bag that’s proven the test of time, she’s producing daughters that will follow in her footsteps for years to come. Checked favorably to one of our High Selling Bull’s from this past spring’s bull sale, NIO Bad Medicine 1126, you’d have one of the first to even hit the ground. This could be her most exciting calf yet. Expected Due Date of January 9th, 2023, AI’d to NIO Bad Medicine 1126.

This 5L Independence daughter out of the D278 cow is a beautiful young cow with a head-spinning look from the side. Sound structured, neat fronted, and feminine, her son last year by Hi Caliber was admired by many commercial bull buyers. The only female in the sale carrying service to U2 Dominion, we can’t possibly say enough good things about that bull. Used the past two years in herd, and his mother Hidee Ho 459D calling Niobrara home, they are incredibly consistent and will be the stoutest calves in your calf crop. Expected Due Date of January 10th, 2023, AI’d to U2 Dominion.

Starting out the Fall Bred Cows is an incredibly maternal daughter of our tried and true, Blackbird 107X cow and Signature 295B. A cow that’s simply never missed, her first bull by Cries for War was a leading heifer bull candidate that sold in our 2020 Niobrara Bull Sale. With a beautiful John Wick daughter retained in herd, and her Township 17G son slated for the 2023 Bull Sale, the NIO Roughrider 9055 heifer calf that will be on her side by sale day is sure to follow in the same footsteps. A massive, bold, huge-middled, easy fleshing cow that’s very sound at the ground, her refined, square bag may be the most attractive thing about her. If you’re searching through the sale for a cow worthy of flushing, 7011 would be an incredible candidate that’s proven herself in a short period of time. Expected Due Date of September 11th, 2022, with a NIO Roughrider 9055, Heifer Calf.

One of the best cows Niobrara Red Angus has ever had was Red Soo Line Baneberry 5238, acquired through the Wildcat Dispersal with Blairs.Ag.

One of the most phenotypically stunning cows in the offering, this Mission Nexus female deserves to be found on sale day. Big boned, big footed, with a high-quality build, I think there’s a lot of potential here in this cow to make a progressive kind of Red Angus female. Bold, big-ribbed, and powerful with a beautiful bag, she’ll prove to be everybody’s kind. A female that could be mated successfully in a few directions, if you’re in the business of selling show heifers, I’d take a hard look here.

This Signature 195B daughter is backed by one of our most phenotypically elite cow families on the ranch; the Six Mile Lakima Lee 493B cow. Originally purchased from Six Mile Ranch, we opened the ranch up to a few elite Red Angus breeders last fall, and 493B was selected by Wood Cattle Company as a donor cow they wanted to utilize at home in their own program. 7007 is a beautiful, big ribbed, maternal looking cow that is very sound in her structural build. With a daughter retained in herd, and her latest bull calf slated for the 2023 Bull Sale, she stamps them with her same productive look. Sells Open & Ready to Flush

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY - The Inherent Risk of Owning Registered Cattle Unfortunately, all of us in the Registered Seedstock business have similar experiences with respect to owning livestock. Regardless of how attentive, nurturing and caring we are, we can only control so much. In owning registered cattle, most of the time purchased at a premium, we all run the inherent risk of injury or death in those cattle. That said, there is no ‘industry norm’ or ‘industry expectation’ in terms of how this array of unfortunate instances are dealt with. Every business offers different terms for their product, and we feel the need to outline those instances and list what we feel as a breeder, we are actually responsible for. We try unwaveringly to provide the best and most detailed animal husbandry we can for our cattle. However, once they leave our property, we are no longer in control of what may happen to them. Once they are released from our care, we can no longer control what they may be faced with or come into contact with. We are not in control of them and feel that is the responsibility of the new owner to see to their well-being. Fertility is foremost the only thing a ‘breeder’ should guarantee their bull or female provides. We guarantee that they are sound and healthy breeders, that can do their part to reproduce to provide a timely return on investment. Please reference our Terms & Conditions in the catalog. Purchasing Livestock Mortality Insurance is firmly advised. The following are additional circumstances we cannot prevent. SUDDEN DEATH Bloat may be the most common, but there are also many other ways cattle may show no signs of pain or discomfort before ultimately leading to death. Internal abscesses, internal hemorrhages, intussusception, internal blockages, heart, or lung injuries, choking, etc. All these things and more, we cannot control, and is part of the inherent risk of owning livestock. DEATH BY DISEASE (BACTERIAL OR VIRAL) We vaccinate and treat our cattle for every known disease they may come into contact with, but we cannot guarantee they may pick something else up in their lifetime, in a different geography or location. We are not liable for our cattle contracting a new disease, out of our ownership or possession. DEATH FROM ENVIRONMENT Cattle getting stuck in between trees, high-centered on a hill or hole, stuck in a fence or gate, electrocuted by lighting or electricity, coming up lame with an injury sustained from other cattle, drowning, etc. All of these things no one can control. Cattle can get themselves into all kinds of situations. It is our responsibility as their caretaker to try our best to keep them out of harm’s way, yet there is only so much you can do. DEATH FROM BREEDING, PREGNANCY OR PARTURITION Another inherent risk of owning cattle is their process of reproduction and parturition (calving). Many things can go wrong in the process for every bull or female. We cannot guarantee a hands-free, live calf. Many, many, many things contribute to a calf’s presentation, delivery, shape, and weight. HIGH-ALTITUDE DISEASE Niobrara Red Angus is not headquartered at an altitude that would allow one to think they have no risk of High-Altitude Disease. At our elevation, it would never show itself, therefore, we don’t even have the correct environment in order to perform accurate PAP testing. We cannot guarantee our cattle will not show signs of “Brisket” or High-Altitude Disease.

TERMS & CONDITIONS - (Please reference the RAAA Suggested Sale Terms & Conditions) HEALTH The health of the herd is excellent. We guarantee that all sale cattle will ship to any state or Canadian province. All females are officially calfhood vaccinated. All cattle are on a complete pre-conditioning and herd health program. Spencer Veterinary Clinic – (402) 589-1004, Dr. Tim Sobotka , Dr. Cory Haglund TERMS Niobrara Red Angus reserves the right to two future flushes on any females selling at our expense and the buyer’s convenience. Terms of the sale are cash unless other arrangements have been made before the sale with Niobrara Red Angus. Every animal will be sold to the highest bidder with the auctioneer settling disputes. Announcements from the auction block shall take precedence over the sale catalog and/or any additional printed information regarding animal(s) sold. A transferred certificate of registry will be furnished to the Buyer for each animal. It is your responsibility to give Niobrara Red Angus the appropriate transfer information at the checkout counter, in order for the transfer to be executed. All cattle are the buyer’s property as soon as sold and will be cared for, for a reasonable length of time at the buyer’s risk. Neither Niobrara Red Angus nor any person connected to this sale assumes any liability, legal or otherwise. GUARANTEE Every animal in this sale is free from disease or defect to the best of our knowledge or they will be identified. All animals are guaranteed breeders, with the exception of: i) Calves less than 12 months of age. ii) Animals shown by purchaser after the sale that were: a. transported and shown while trying to maintain a pregnancy, during heat or unnecessary stress. b. only artificially inseminated, and never exposed to a bull with a recent BSE. c. fed to an extreme level of obesity or kept too thin for reproductive health. d. fed unnecessary supplements, or victim to illegal practices altering their conformation. iii) Females that are to be used, or attempted to be used, in an embryo transfer program, after the date of sale. iv) Animals who suffer injury and disease following the sale. v) Gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Buyer. ‘Safe in Calf’ Females have been examined by a competent veterinarian and are so guaranteed to be in safe in calf. No further fertility guarantee post calving is available. Cows with calves at side are presumed to be breeders with no further fertility guarantee. If those animals that meet this guarantee fail to breed after a period of six months, it may be returned to the seller in good condition and in compliance with Nebraska Health Regulations. The seller reserves the right to try the said animal for six months and if it proves to be a non-breeder, either an animal of comparable rank will be substitute, or a credit will be given on a future sale on an animal for animal basis. Those credits are to be used within one calendar year from when the credit is offered. No cash refunds will be dispersed. LIVESTOCK MORTALITY & THEFT INSURANCE It’s nearly impossible to have livestock without some deadstock. Unfortunately, our businesses trade a live product that can expire at any given moment, from a never-ending list of causes. It is important that your worthy investment is protected with an Annual Full Mortality & Theft Coverage policy. James F. Bessler, LLC, of Fort Worth, TX is a trusted cattle industry partner that specializes in livestock mortality insurance. It is your duty as a purchaser of cattle in this sale to protect your investment from the wide array of unfortunate circumstances that come with the responsibility of owning livestock. We do not offer refunds if such unfortunate events occur. Either your policy does its job, or we will work with you to receive another animal of comparable value, so long as it still meets the criteria outlined in our Terms and Conditions. Please reference the Guarantee section of these Terms & Conditions. James F. Bessler, LLC - (817) 562-8980 HALF INTEREST On a few select lots we are offering half interest only. The buyer will receive all the show rights and will be responsible for all the show expenses related to such exhibitions. Whomever maintains possession of the animal after their show career, will receive the female’s natural calves in order to justify the female’s annual operating costs. Therefore, the other owner is not to be billed for half of the female’s operating costs. With respect to embryo production, the buyer and Niobrara Red Angus will rotate back and forth on who receives which flush/IVF opportunity; the first going to the buyer of said female. It is each party’s financial responsibility to pay for their flush entirely when it is their turn. All embryos from those flushes go to the owner flushing at that time, unless otherwise agreed upon before the flush/IVF occurs. Whomever is in possession of said female is required to make the female available for a flush or IVF in between each calving cycle. For additional questions, please contact Garrett Knebel. DELIVERY We will pay one half of the delivery cost to central points, anywhere in the continental US, on animals who sell for $4,000 or more. For animals under $4,000, delivery will be at cost. Please understand, if lining up the logistics is to be our responsibility, expecting us to deliver them to your doorstep is unreasonable. We expect our customers to work with us in receiving delivery of their cattle. For Canadian buyers, we will deliver up to the nearest point of entry. For additional questions, please contact Garrett Knebel. Doug Leader, Leader Angus - (402) 770-9677 Randy Lathrop, Lathrop Trucking - (847) 910-4673 Bob Woolsey, Woolsey Trucking - (406) 670-1877
