This Modoc Margie daughter puts about as many good things together as any female in the offering. This is certainly one of the favorites. This female glides when on the move. She is one of the biggest footed heavier structure females in the offering and is very soft in her joints and pasterns. She is bold and attractive in her build and is the correct frame size to be competitive as a senior calf and excel as a senior yearling. She reminds me of the November Margie that Brandon Hagie showed so successfully but with a shot more growth.

This young lady was not very old when we pictured and videoed her, but it was hard not to be excited about the quality and functionality she already exuded. As you may see from the video she wasn’t as cooperative as some.

Many times these really young ones aren’t. She is made very similar in her tremendous structural design to her full sister shown so successful by Simon farms. I think this one has the potential to collect as many winnings as any of them.

Cowy and sound is how I would describe this female. She is built very similar to miller Smiths may heifer that did so well this past year. The Cloud 9 cattle have done us a nice job and we plan to use him even more this year. The august heifer we sold in the sale last year won her class at Junior Nationals and both days in Louisville, I feel very comfortable saying this female is better at this stage of her life. Good junior project good natured and good hair.

The Cloud 9’s in this offering are what has helped us decide to use him more heavily this year. This is the most powerfully constructed female in the offering. This female is very opened up in her chest floor and rib cage, and is about as square and broad in her hip and pin set as you can make one. We really like this female and she is backed by the famous Picture Perfect cow family.

She is made similar in her structural integrity and attractive look, but has a little more power and is a notch more moderate in her frame size. This female may be a little later maturing, but is built as well as any of them in the offering. She should make an awesome senior yearling like her sister did.

Here is a three-quarter sister to Adrianne Trennepohl’s 2014 National Champion Female in Denver. This is a very good Bloodstone daughter that exemplifies the reasons we still think that Bloodstones are as good a sire group that we have ever had. This is a very attractive big topped female that is moderate in her frame size and has good swoop to her belly. I think this heifer has the maturity and build to be competitive right out of the gate, as well as the balance and style for the long haul.

This one is striking and has all the right pieces. This was the greenest one at picture time but has been really putting it on since we weaned her. It has been a pretty harsh winter so we just weaned all of them regardless of age and it is paying off. We have sold many sisters to this female that have gone on to be successful and they all fed really well. When she catches up you will be feeling pretty smart.

Great opportunity to produce a top show heifer and outcross donor or both out of a full sister to the popular proud venture bull. Both matings are exciting and offer something different. We have sold an Eldorado daughter that was a class winner at the Junior Nationals for Adain Raab.

And we also have a stand out heifer calf by Simplify on the ground.

This is a beautiful cow these embryos are out of. She is a nice uddered feminine female with plenty of size and volume. The Cloud 9 cattle have proven to be very marketable cattle that can bring home banners. This mating produced the Ferrris heifer that was an All-American for them and a high seller for us.

These embryos are great outcross genetics that will also work in the show ring. The Golden Drop cow family has sold many high sellers for WHR Shorthorns as well as Shadybrook Shorthorns in Canada. This mating should result in a very maternally bred animal with plenty of style and presence. The resulting calves should be valuable regardless of sex.

This is a proven mating that has produced both high sellers and blue ribbon winners. There are a lot of that thorough trying to moderate our cattle have gotten some of them plenty small.

These would be great for putting some good old fashioned performance back in your herd and gain a proven cow family in the process.

When Ron and Christy approached us about flushing one of there most productive and powerful donors to Eldorado, we were more than happy to. They have certainly proven they know how to get cattle mated for profitability. As you can see from the picture, this is no ordinary cow.

Her mass and dimension crossed with Eldorado’s, these should be very easy to market.

A high seller and National Champion Show Bull that rivaled any in terms of foot size and structural soundness. The Flex cattle have done very well for the shareholders. Use Flex on moderate heavier muscled heifers to make them more flexible and sound and a great show ring look.
