We are calving out his first daughters in 2024 and they look to be exceptional young cows with that extra depth of body and tidy square udders. • Mothered by 430Y, a foundation dam and donor in our herd. A cherry red powerhouse cow who always brought in a top end calf. • Sire of lots 1-8, look for these sons to add hair, length, rib, and muscle shape.

• Like all Hurricanes, Hurricane Mike is not for the faint of heart! Big Time power bull with the frame, bone and mass that the beef industry is demanding in our feeder cattle. He will add that muscle shape, depth of rib and top that packs on the beef. He weaned off at 880 lbs., with likely the driest conditions we have seen. • Mothered by a big framed Chief daughter who I love for her mass, udder quality, and bone. A cow who is a maternal sister to lot 49. Excellent productive cow family.

Not the biggest in the pen, but definitely a black bull that will add rear quarter and top to any calf crop. • Mothered by a larger framed, belly-dragging 2nd calver, this cow family is very productive. Her first calf is a bred heifer calving this spring and she looks to be another great young matron. INSET - DAM 8H

• Salty Dog Smile has been a standout from a very young age, showing early maturity and huge muscle dimension. He is long and deep sided, but still thick over his top. He is the top dog in the red pen for performance for both weaning and yearling weights. Great cow maker. • Mothered by one of the favorite black matrons, a Red Mountain daughter from the Painted Smile cow family.

Lot 31 was raised by his mother, whereas lot 32 was grafted onto another cow who maybe didn’t do him quite the same justice. A pair of real good breeding bulls who will add top, hair, and fertility. • Mothered by a Fleck influenced Anchor D cow who is a good producer and excellent mother cow. She is a belly dragger with great feet and a very different pedigree for most of our customers. She has sent bulls to Dustin Welch, and Don & Leda Jensen’s, as well as raising the heifer that Brad Parker chose for his pick of the heifer’s in last year’s sale.

Testimonial Steve & LeeAnne Page, Hanna, AB ‘We bought our first bull from Maureen in 2014. The daughters from that bull formed the cornerstone of our herd that we still rely on to this day. Since then we have purchased four more bulls from Mappin/Silver Smith Farms. Last spring we had an almost comical amount of heifer calves born and had to let go of some excellent breeding prospects in the fall. We will continue to be customers of Maureen & Eric’s as we appreciate the quality of cattle they produce year after year and we know we are dealing with honest people.’

• Being one of only two red Macho sons on offer, Wonder is a unique package of muscle and structural correctness, with lots of maternal qualities. With a very modest birthweight, he jumped up and started to grow. • Wonder is mothered by my first show heifer, a large framed, cherry red first calf heifer, Wish. She is easy keeping, and easy going. She is more than likely the quietest cow in the herd. Wish has a tidy, correct udder, and the money stripe that keeps on giving.

• Chief has been a mainstay herdbull, and for good reason. At 8 years old, he is still excellent footed and doing his job on a limited basis-semi retirement at its best! • Chief was selected for his foot quality, deep rib and his cherry red color. We have several daughters working in our herd, many are mothers of bulls in the sale. Chief improves udders, darkens color, and improves foot structure. • Sire of lots 47-50, these sons will improve udders, foot quality, depth of body and performance.

• Smooth Operator is a very typical Chief son-dark colored, deep sided with huge maternal power. A maternal brother to last year’s high seller who is working at Bar CL Simmentals. • Powerhouse mother cow backing up this bull. Flawless in her type and great udder structure. A cow who never has a bad day and keeps her condition year round even in tough times.

• The Chief sons may be smaller in quantity, but are so consistent in type and kind and quality. We breed a handful of no miss cows to Chief every year, mostly hoping for more heifers-Front Office was supposed to be such a heifer, however this big performance, large haired meat monster came in her place. • Mothered by an older matron who has put as many bulls through the sale as any cow, last year’s son selling to Coppock Legacy Farm. This deep bodied, heavy milking cow just gets it done year after year. Consistent and productive.

• Sangria is a wooly haired smooth made meat machine who will add a lot of value to a pen of steers, or a pen of replacements. Long sided, deep middle and athletic, here is a bull that will work to thicken up calves, add milk, and tidy up udders. • Mothered by a super hard working cow who is a flushmate to lot 48’s mother. These Starquest cows have been excellent producersRanchers appreciate the extra hair and doability on these type of cattle. She has sent several sons through the sale over the years and is bred back early again this year.

He has been impressive from a young age, being a standout on pasture this summer and weaning off at an impressive 890 lbs. • Mothered by a hard working, blood red, good producing 10Z cow, who keeps bringing in good big bulls and rebreeding early. She has raised two full brothers who are working at Weiss Cattle, Maple Creek, and Undone Ranch, Elnora.

• Steak Builder was supposed to be a heifer. We bred a sweetheart of a cow to Bodybuilder wanting that outstanding female…and out he came. A larger framed, long sided bull who should add maternal merit and udder structure. Bodybuilder was a known maternal powerhouse back in the day-what’s old is new! • Mothered by one of the most striking cows on the farm, this brockle faced beauty is deep sided with a beautiful tidy square udder. Sweet fronted, but bold enough to make bulls. She has a Macho daughter in the bred heifer pen that we are very excited about.

• Landmine is one of the 3 State of War sons who are quite remarkable, and peas in a pod. Small at birth but growthy as all get out, these black curve benders will work in a variety of situations. Smooth made, good haired and for a calving ease bull….Stout! • Mothered by another fantastic Landmark daughter. We bred some of our top end cows to Landmark in hopes of creating ourselves a herdbull, however, we got 100% heifers. But…These heifers are truly remarkable phenotypically and are turning into top producers. Same cow family as lots 37 & 43.

• Absolutely is a calving ease prospect. Sired by Absolute, who has been a calving ease cow maker for years, I think this bull could be used on well developed heifers. A very smooth made bull with great extension, more moderate in frame. Likely will throw some blaze faces. • Mothered by a super feminine red blaze face cow from the great 52X cow family. A great young female with that tidy udder the XBART cows have. We have very few of these young cows, but the ones we do have are very promising producers.

Rimmer was our foolproof heifer bull for 5-6 years until he just got too big to breed heifers, so he moved along to a new home. Gin Fizz is long bodied and will calve easily. • Mothered by a really nice Backfire daughter who goes back to the Blackrock cow family. A cow that is larger framed, square uddered and very feminine. This cow is a maternal sister to lot 42
