In Tribute to

Coalition

Lot 6

Lot 1

Pick

of ALL Coalition daughters in production at Spickler Ranch South! This past August, Coalition was laid to rest after eight years of service on our ranch after suffering an irrecoverable injury while covering a pasture of cows. When we purchased this great sire back in March of 2016 we had high hopes for what he could do for our program, and it is safe to say he exceeded all of those hopes. A legacy sire, he will long be remembered for the commandingly consistent phenotype he stamped into both genders of his progeny. His bulls looked like bulls. Good headed, proud, and full of breed character, they displayed his right structure and immense muscle again and again. His daughters are truly where his legacy will live on. He has revolutionized the landscape of our cowherd with his uncanny ability to refine teats, tidy up udder attachment and pass on his docile personality into a maternal temperament that is nearly unparalleled in the industry. Our semen bank is limited, but this sire’s influence will continue on through the contributions of his many daughters. In tribute to him, we have decided to offer choice of all the wet Coalition daughters - there is over 50 to pick from. Other than a couple cows owned by the kids they are all available for pick. These females represent the heart of our herd. Ranging from two to six years old, there are numerous daughters that have already begun to write their page in our ranch history book. High producers, raising high-selling bulls and heifers, and one has even entered our donor line-up. This is an opportunity to select one of the absolute great females from our herd. A cow that is certain to make an impact and be ready for donor service. We have pictured several daughters, and a full listing of available females to choose from is available to be emailed upon request. The pick needs to be made by February 1st, 2024, as the first daughters to pick from are due to start calving March 8th.

Erelite 109Z embodies what we look for in an Angus female. Truly a female among females, her impact in our herd will be felt for years to come. Best known as the dam of Coalition, there are few Angus females that can rival her kind and breeding power. She is massively deep ribbed and flanked with a ton of muscle, yet she presents a small-teated, well attached udder with worlds of femininity and angularity. 109Z calved again this past October as a coming 12-year-old female and she is a marvel to see in production. Her calm demeanor is still evident and her udder is as high-quality as ever. As we are getting more of her progeny on the ground, her potency as a dam is getting solidified even further. She is a special kind of female that we are proud to have backing the future of our production sales and cowherd. She will headline our 2023 “Frozen Genetics and more” sale with embryos and an elite heifer pregnancy.

A sire that is well rounded across all traits, he stems from a highly productive dam who records progeny weaning and yearling ratio of 4/114 on her calves. We feel his combination of growth and performance aligns nicely with 109Z, making this a very valuable mating.
