S Queen Essa 7149
A model Angus female, Queen Essa 7149’s influence in our program is only continuing to grow. Her rise to prominence began when her son, Armstrong, topped our 2022 bull sale at $90,000, selling to ST Genetics, and is one of the most popular young sires available in the Angus breed, due to his unique combination of maternal and performance. “7149” is a pedigree compilation of maternal sires that provide the basic traits to anchor America’s cowherd.
She stems from the udder, temperament, and foot improver, Foundation, whose popularity and legacy continues to grow with each passing calf crop his daughters raise. She then traces to Game Day, a sire whose ability to pass on tidy udders with small teats was uncanny. After this she is anchored by a daughter of the Angus legend, Right Time, who is synonymous with model Angus females. The pedigree prominence of 7149, is backed by real measured performance. She records a 4/109 WR, her dam posts a 9/107 WR, and her donor grand dam recorded a 7/110 WR. 7149 is living out the legacy her pedigree projects. She is a great uddered, good footed, quiet tempered female who is passing on her doing ability, udder quality and overall maternal strength to her progeny. Her combination of phenotypic and genetic merit lends her to leading the way in our quest for continual maternal advancement. We will feature several of her embryo lots, take advantage to tie into something special – she is a difference maker.
1A) Queen Essa 7149 x S Architect
3 reverse sort female IVF embryos, full siblings to S Armstrong. Exportable to Canada.
Lot 1A presents an opportunity to own heifer full sibs to the exciting Armstrong. Already having full sibs to these embryos born only excites us further about the possibility of what they could result in. These embryos could produce your next high impact female – and are a great opportunity to add some “Queen Essa” to you cowherd.
S Armstrong
1B) Queen Essa 7149 x HF Hi-Country 7L
3 or 5 IVF embryos sired by HF Hi-Country 7L. Exportable to Canada.
1B is an opportunity to be on the absolute forefront of some of the most exciting genetics available today.

1C) Queen Essa 7149 x Musgrave Jumbo
3 or 5 IVF embryos sired by Musgrave Jumbo.
This package of embryos is a strong combination of known maternal excellence and phenotypic quality. Jumbo was introduced to our ET program as a sire that will add muscle, mass, and look, while continuing to advance our maternal goals.
1D) Queen Essa 7149 x U-2 Coalition 206C
3 or 5 reverse sort female IVF embryos sired by U-2 Coalition 206C.
This could be the mating of all matings when it comes to making the near ideal Angus female.

This combined with 7149 sets this group of embryos apart as the front pasture, and herd building kind.
1F)
Queen Essa 7149 x Mc Cumber La Joya 098

In doing so, we decided to utilize the unwavering commitment to maternal excellence long established in the McCumber program and offer embryos sired by their $58,000 featured sire La Joya 098. He is a Zodiac son out of the dam of the $80,000 McCumber Tribute, royally bred for maternal stability, and merit.
1G) Queen Essa 7149 x BCC Rapport
3 conventional embryos sired by BCC Rapport. This mating of 7149 to Rapport is another chance to be in on the ground floor of some of the real up and coming genetics available in the Angus breed. Rapport was a $60,000 addition to the ST Genetics line-up this past spring and is a pedigree combination of can’t miss maternal quality.

S Elba 1004
AAA #17008089
S Summit 956
S Elba 1004 has long been a resident in our donor program and is one of the most influential females in our herd. Her pedigree represents some of the real building blocks of our cowherd. Born in 2011, Elba is sired by S Summit 965, who was a featured member of the Select Sires roster, known for his dominating maternal performance. She then traces to Chisum 6175, the Genex sire who was well known for adding muscle, performance, and power. Elba is a perfect footed, tremendous dispositioned female with about as much body and mass as any female we have ever flushed. Indivudally she records a progeny record of 7/98 BR, 7/107 WR, 6/105 YR, 91/103 IMF and 91/102 for REA. She has proven herself time and time again as being able to elevate the quality of every sire we’ve ever mated her to. Most notably she is the dam of S Revolution, the $36,000 high seller from our 2023 bull sale, who is seeing heavy use in our program. Numerous of her daughters have been high sellers in our sales or are becoming valuable contributors of our cowherd. A conventional embryo producer her whole life, we decided to IVF this great donor this past year due to her age and are excited to offer these elite, herd building matings.
2A) Elba 1004 x Kraye Big Country
3 or 5 IVF embryos sired by Kraye Big Country
This is a mating we can’t wait to get born. As good as our Big Country calves are and as good as Elba is, this one could by dynamite. The next power bull or donor female very well could result from these embryos.

3 or 5 reverse sort female IVF embryos sired by Coleman Glacier 041. Qualified for Canada

Coalition has proved himself and so has Elba. Look at this mating if you are after a sure thing.

H A Image Maker 0415
Shipwheel Chinook
Apex Eriskay 5506
R&S Expedition 1404
S Blossom 8378
S Blossom 4190
S Blossom 0278 has long established herself as one of the elite producing females we have ever had. A long-standing member of our donor program, she has just plain worked on every sire we’ve mated her too. A female of elegant design, and udder quality she readily passes on her teat size, udder attachment and great phenotype to her progeny. Her story began with her first son, S Chisum 255 who sold for $30,000 in 2013. She also produced the $65,000 Cornerstone as well as daughters that we have marketed from $12,000 to $29,000. A real life picture of maternal excellence she recorded a 7/108 progeny weaning ratio, and maintained her perfect feet right until her passing at nearly 15 years of age. As she slowed down this past year we mated her very specifically through IVF trying to gain what we well knew might be her last few embryos. A couple of those matings will be shared in this sale offering.
3A) Blossom 0278 x S Foundation
3 IVF embryos sired by S Foundation 514. Qualified for Canada.
We went back and flushed “0278” to Foundation due to the result from the last time we did this. In 2018 three full sisters to this mating were born and they are absolutely three of the best cows on our entire ranch. The epitomize what an Angus cow should look like in both phenotype and production. We did not gender sort these embryos as we felt that it would also be okay to get a maternally driven Foundation son by this great donor.
3B) Blossom 0278 x Musgrave Jumbo
3 IVF embryos sire by Musgrave Jumbo
S Foundation 514
In one of our last matings ever of the great “0278” female we couldn’t contain our excitement of combining the muscle, power and look of Jumbo with her known ability to kick out quality progeny on every sire we’ve ever used on her. These embryos will be a real treat, and one of the last chances to ever purchase her frozen genetics.
S Queen Essa 8159
AAA #19198406
S Queen Essa 8159 is a direct daughter of Coalition, and stems from the same cow family as Queen Essa 7149, as they share the same Right Time 3rd dam. Visually, “8159” is one of the easiest females to like on the ranch. As she has matured the amount of mass, flank depth, and overall power she possesses, while still maintaining a near perfect udder is unique. A high producing female she records a progeny weaning ratio of 3/109 and is backed by a dam recording a 7/107 progeny weaning ratio. As we involve “8159” further into our ET program and realize more and more of her progeny, her value as a donor and herd anchor is only going to rise. Our 2025 production sale is going to feature a large group of her Big Country sons, as well as one very special daughter. This group of progeny promotes her value as an elite donor female even farther.
4) Queen Essa 8159 x Musgrave Jumbo
3 or 5 conventional embryos sired by Musgrave Jumbo.
The combination of “8159” and Jumbo has us excited. The body type and look that Jumbo passes will further stack like phenotype into the pedigree of this mating. We expect the progeny resulting from these embryos to be top females or your next herd bull.
Musgrave Jumbo
Pine Coulee Everelda W 77
AAA #16767770
Pine Coulee Everelda W77 has been a tremendous addition to our donor line-up. Her pedigree is a compilation of “who’s who” in the maternal history of Angus cattle. Stemming from the legendary Everelda Entense 1137, she carries with her the lineage of the female making greats, Net Worth, EXT, Rainmaker 340 and Traveler 124. “W77” records a progeny weaning ratio of 8/104 and will turn 16 years old this spring. Not showing her age at a bit, she is still a super sound, cool built female with tremendous feet. Every sire we’ve mated her too has produced great results, including her three ET bulls from last spring’s production sale who sold for $28,000, $16,000 and $10,000. We won’t have many more chances at her frozen genetics, be sure to consider this great opportunity to add a piece of history to your breeding program.
5) W77 x Armstrong
3 IVF embryos sired by Armstrong. Qualified for Canada
These embryos represent one of the highest concentrations of potential maternal greatness of any mating is this sale. Joining the high $M sire Armstrong with this great female and this mating is set-up for success.
S Queen Essa 8313
S Queen Essa 8313 was added to our donor line-up last year and is another member of our Queen Essa tribe. Posting progeny ratios of 107 at weaning, and 161 for marbling, this outcross pedigreed Hinman Open Country granddaughter is sired by a bull we retained for pasture use out of past donor Eblinette 0157. On the bottom side of 8313’s pedigree she a generation closer to our matriarch donor, 208, than the other two Queen Essa’s featured in our donor pen. Embodying what we strive for in a donor female, this +91$M donor dam has the same teat size and attachment the Queen Essa’s are known for. We look for her to be a major impact in our program going forward, and are excited to offer her first ET progeny sired by Kraye Big Country in our sale this coming May.
6) Queen Essa 8313 x BCC Rapport
3 embryos sired by BCC Rapport
This package of embryos is a highly maternally geared combination of the $60,000 Rapport and the maternal integrity of our Queen Essa cow family. Offering fresh, cutting edge genetics lot 6 is an opportunity to get in on the ground floor of a very popular young Angus sire.

Pine Coulee Ever Entense D22
AAA
Pine Coulee Ever Entense D22 came to us as the $36,000 high-selling female in the Fall 2021 Ladies of the Beartooth Production Sale. She is a really good Angus cow. Her body type is one to emulate repeatably, as we so appreciate her mass, power, and highly functional udder. On pedigree she combines some the real heavyweights of the Angus breed in Resource, EXT, and AAR New Trend. We are excited to be adding her into our genetic pool and think she has worlds of good to offer our operation. This coming May we will offer a group of her sons by Coalition, and they are the real deal. Beef bulls full of muscle, Angus character and power.
7) D22 x HF Rangefinder 39L
3 conventional embryos sired by HF Rangefinder
This package of embryos is sired by HF Rangefinder 39L who was a $60,000 feature from the 2024 Hamilton Farms production sale, and a 7/8 brother to HF Hi-Country 7L, the $185,000 high seller from that same sale. Stemming from a gorgeous uddered dam, 39L offers calving ease, superb foot quality and added maternal. Joining him with D22 is exciting. The resulting progeny from this mating will be stout and highly maternal. Don’t miss the chance to tie in early to this great young sire’s genetics.
HF Rangefinder 39L
S Blossom 641
S Blossom 641 is a second-generation donor, and daughter of matriarch donor, Blossom 0278. Recording a progeny weaning ratio of 5/109, she is one of the really high quality females on our ranch. “641” will turn nine this spring and looks as youthful as ever, still displaying a high-quality udder and standing down on a tremendous set of feet. Her pedigree blends Angus sires synonymous with longevity and added maternal as her sire is a product of the great Sitz breeding achievements in the Rainmaker and Alliance cattle. “641” took a few years off from our ET program as she was back in production raising calves, we fully intend to keep her influence building and are trying to gain as many of her daughters into our herd as possible.
8A ) 641 x Blair’s External Law
3 or 5 conventional embryos sired by Blair’s External Law.
We will have several full siblings to this mating born this spring and can’t hardly wait. The combination of External Law, his massively cool build, extra muscle and neat front end, coupled with the long neck, big rib, and extra muscle of “641” has this mating poised to be a knockout.

It is our desire to have Angus cattle that excel in maternal function but also follow a consistent phenotype, built on Angus character, great structure and real muscle shape. This mating sired by Jumbo does all of that. These will be cool calves, that should well cover that phenotypic ideals we strive to produce.
AAA #19198415
S Jasmine 8156
S Jasmine 8156 is new to our donor line-up and an absolute favorite Coalition daughter. Proving herself in the pasture, this pathfinder female records a progeny record of 5/98 BR, 5/108 WR, 4/108 YR, 4/113 IMF and 4/105 for REA. This highly productive donor’s pedigree combines several maternal heavyweights as her dam is a Summit x Alliance 3313 female who then traces to Traveler 6807 and Traveler 71. The Summit dam of Jasmine 8156 has also been one of our most productive females as she records a progeny weaning ratio of 10/104. “8156” is a tremendously good footed female, has a kind disposition, is built to last for years to come and is backed generationally by females with longevity, excellent feet, and udder quality that is second to none. We are excited to add “8156” to our donor herd and can’t wait to start adding more of her daughters back into our program.
9) Jasmine x Armstrong
3 or 5 conventional embryos sired by S Armstrong.
This package of embryos combines about as much maternal goodness as any in the sale. The footnote for “8156” lays out the ground work and validity for her as a donor, and then the mating of her to Armstrong further propels the potency of this embryo package. Lot 9 will be about the highest $M of any mating in the offering and might make about as nice of heifers as any mating as well.

S Heiress 193
AAA #17008078
S Heiress 193 is a daughter of our female making legend Summit 956. Heiress proved her way into our donor line-up through her can’t miss production record on her natural calves. A powerfully built female, she has more size and dimension than many of the Summit daughters. Recording a progeny weaning ratio of 9/106, she has numerous sons into registered operations. Offering a bit of a pedigree outcross, she is fully backed for maternal security as her dam combines Max 602C and Alliance 6595. Heiress is a big-time donor female for us, and we are trying to accumulate as many of her daughters as we can. She has steadily left her mark in our program and is absolutely a female worth having in our donor line-up.
10) Heiress 193 x S Armstrong
3 or 5 conventional embryos sired by Armstrong.
This is a mating of supreme maternal excellence. Combining the maternal power from both sides of the pedigree, this mating is stacked for great udders, temperament and added foot quality.
