LIVE AUCTION - NOVEMBER 28T H, 2025 - 5PM CST - DIXON, ILLINOIS
WELCOME TO Divas & Donors
Greetings everyone,
Welcome to Divas and Donors 2025! Another fantastic and unforgettable year in the books and one that first and foremost is filled with gratitude and thanks!
A year of more champions from coast to coast including jackpot, junior national and state fair champions and already champions at majors kicking off the fall of 2025. All of us involved in Divas and Donors are very aware of just how blessed and lucky we are to work with the best families in the business. Your trust in us is never taken lightly or for granted. Likewise, your friendship. We have seen a lot of your kids from year one all the way through to their last trip into the ring. Your confidence and continued support are the ultimate compliment.
On a personal note, this year was highlighted for us as a family at the Iowa State Fair. If you know my oldest, Kinnick, you know what this show meant to him. And honestly, to us as a family. The most bittersweet and exhilarating moment I truly can ever remember. Ending his show ring career with a Supreme Female banner and two heifers in the top 5 at the prestigious Iowa State Fair.
I know the discipline, sacrifice, and the dedication that it took to accomplish a goal such as this and as a father I have never been prouder. At the same time as a father, with the good Lord above, opening your eyes fully you see all the amazing people who had a hand in helping your child chase that dream. And to those people, I will forever be thankful!
For this very reason, we at Divas and Donors are here to support and to be by your side throughout your family’s project whether it be for just one year or many. We consider you family. The backdrops, the banners, and the championship handshakes are exhilarating and satisfying but the fact you choose us to be part of your family’s journey is priceless.
Again, this year, we feel this set of females is truly special. We will allow the females to do the talking themselves and if you have any questions or concerns feel free to reach to myself or any on of the consignors.
Thank you and God Bless, Jeff Paulsen

The ROXI IMPACT
Once in a lifetime. Generational. Unparalleled. Extraordinary. The impact that SHCO Foxy 385F has had on the Divas and Donors program is simply unfathomable. Her mark on the Simmental breed has been stamped on permanently by back-to-back national champions and an absolute slew of high sellers amassing in excess of a million dollars in progeny in four short years. This years multi sire and multi breed matings have us as excited as we have ever been. Roxi’s ability to add quality and all the extras to a variety of sires continues to amaze us both in consistency and elite aptitudes.
This year’s gold standard of all embryo and genetic opportunities, Embryos on Snow – Denver will showcase two Roxi sons that will defy common understanding of how purebred Simmental bulls can be built and designed. Roxi’s “ Bet It All” and Roxi’s “Redefined” will set not only the Simmental world a buzz but will be a sires used across breed lines to build genuinely progressive outlier cattle with every added bell and whistle you can add to a show pony. Bet It All & Redefined will have you pushing your chips all in with an unbeatable hand.
Simmental
Never before have we been so excited about where the heart of our Simmental program sets and what the future of that program holds.
With the uncompromising success of our purebred donors such as SHCO Foxy 385F and Serena 74J in the show ring and now as dominant young donors , we are full steam ahead into our long time bread and butter breed.
We think this years set is extremely special and have no doubt they’re ready to fill the shoes of past champions and donors from the Divas and Donors program. The ride at this carnival has been fun….. but we still got tickets! Let’s go!
SHCO ROXI 385F
KC2 MISS SERENA 74J
ROXI’S KARTER
Stone. Cold. Stunner. Naked Truth’s eccentric pieces piled upon real world beef cattle good, is undeniable. Real red meat and power laid upon a beautiful design and flawless look that combines the best of a show pony world with flat out good livestock. This mating of Roxi and the triple crown winning, Coping With Destiny, whose mother was a past Divas and Donors high seller, was highly anticipated and landed with zero disappointment! She’s lot one for a reason. The amount of champions in this heifer’s family tree would lead one to believe she bleeds purple on her own. As close to a crystal ball as I can offer. Get to bidding!!
Full sib to the Indiana State Fair Champion Simmental. Full sib to the Iowa Beef Expo Champion Simmental. Full sib to the Reserve National Champion Bred & Owned Purebred Simmental. And her? Ready to claim her own title! The choke of the neck you can see from the pen next door. Square built through her entire skeleton and enough bells on her to work as a Santa outside Walmart during the holidays! Awesome haired and an awesome demeanor with the quality it takes to play ball. The kind that win. The kind that raise them. Saddle up and ride!
GRAND CHAMPION SIMMENTAL HEIFER,
GRAND CHAMPION SIMMENTAL HEIFER, 2025 IOWA STATE FAIR
You damn right we did it. We tested the zebra making scenario of mating baldy on baldy. And, while fully aware we could make a dalmatian we tossed them dice and rolled out perfection. An absolute genetic masterpiece that is complimented by phenotypical perfection. An individual that bleeds everything from look and power to basic brood cow build and superb athleticism. Never Settle has been a head turner since birth. Always arrogant. Always hard to poke holes in. It’s as simple sometimes as black and white. She’s special. I don’t have 101 of them.
Just the ones with the right amount of black!
Showing a National Champion female is a prestigious accomplishment very few get to experience in a lifetime. Showing National Champion female a second time? Almost unheard of. Showing back-to-back National Champion females that are full sisters? Now we are talking about unheard of scenarios. The Drach family accomplished just that. Two incredible females that were full sibs to the truly special lot 4 female. The incredible care and preparation on both of those females was as good as it gets. Great job Joy and Ellie. Sorry Ty and Tony, we know that you two are just “management.” Next Leap is just like her previous stunning sisters in her unique combination of profile and function. A long slender neck tied into a flat shoulder and a big robust rib cage. Wide pinned and square at the ground with the perfect amount of look at me. 2 PAST YEARS 2 FULL SISTERS. 2 NATIONAL CHAMPIONS . A choice so easy a liberal could figure it out.
RETAINING
I have been excited about this animal ever since I saw her at the co-op this late summer. She screamed “I’m gunna be a lights out yearling!” Elegant and sleek necked with a swoopy lower body complimented by clean, flat, bendy joints and wheels. Soft haired from the very beginning and done nothing but explode since she got off the trailer. This is just the beginning of the decorated Karter’s tenure in the donor pen and by the looks of these two sisters, like mother, like grandam, the ride will be fast and high. We love the future for this fault free and cutting-edge female!
The right kind! Husky round caged with perfect feet and giant pin. The build and design that never gets overlooked! She’s got an absolute sweetheart disposition and carries nothing but champions in her lineage with 5 National Show Champions within 3 generations. She’s got the thick, dense, straight hair and the easy keeping kind that’s efficient in the show barn and the pasture. Buy yourself one that wins. Buy yourself one that generates. Phenotype and predictability all in one!
Lot 07
We have relentlessly pursued year after year the best of the best in the Simmental breed. That quest has allowed us to cross paths with some of the most elite cattlemen and programs in the country as well as be apart of special females that write their own pages in Simmental history. On a quick run to Berwick this fall we saw an animal we knew without a doubt we had to be apart of. Blake and Jake Bloomberg raised a female out of the great Mari donor.
SELLING ½ INTEREST WITH NEGOTIABLE POSSESSION. PLEASE CONTACT JEFF FOR FURTHER DETAILS AS SALE TIME APPROACHES.
A dominant champion in her own time, that was undeniably special. Her huge paws and added arrogance on a world class athlete skeleton was simply captivating. After some very professional mediation and arbitration combined with strategic bribing of roller dogs and mountain dew, I finally convinced Blake that she needed to be apart of Divas and Donors. I truly believe in this female. In terms of her ability to perform in both the showring at an elite level and write her own story as the next matriarch of our beloved breed. We start this sale with females out of our once in a lifetime donor Roxi, and we firmly believe “No Way” will walk in the same path.
Lot 08
AND NICE
As I sit down to write this footnote next to a 4-year-old that statistically spends more time in time-out than out of it, the name for this heifer comes to mind. Naughty and Nice. I swear Huck is a parental sociology experiment being recorded at my house and I just haven’t seen the cameras yet. Anyway, Naughty and Nice, the lot 8 female is an absolute freak of nature! This animals ability to add unparalleled presence and bold power is unreal. Her ratio of high tying giraffe neck to a giant hippo rib cage is insane. She was in the picture pen all of 30 seconds and drops this kind of pose that makes you stop and just stare. Her absolute perfect amount of white sets her off like a fireworks finale on the 4th of July. Her incredible mother was cut from the same cloth and stacked purple her entire career. If you want to hit home runs, grab lot 8 and swing away!
DONOR DAM TO LOT 8
PHOTO OF HER OFF SHOW SIDE
Copeland loves to sit on the YouTube and watch NFL’s hardest hits. Just the shear power and pure physical violence no matter a fan or not is always jolting and exhilarating to see. Lot 9 is the love child of Lawrence Taylor and Dick Butkus. She packs a punch! How you pack this much product on a skeleton and still go like a D1 athlete is something right out of a science experiment. She’s still long necked and clean jawed and chested with a huge opened up body cavity. That way after she sends you flying you can still pick yourself back up for a second look! Her mother is to thank for a part of this genetic masterpiece after winnings at Junior Nationals, Tulsa, and Louisville for the Clark family. She’s ready for all of the targeting flags you can throw and she aint gunna stop!
SERENA 74J - DONOR
She is young! She is mighty! She is wayyy good! In terms of sheer build, skeleton, look and product 655N is a carbon copy of her much decorated and many time champion donor dam. She checks so many boxes and ties so many positives together it’s a serious job to start poking holes in this May baby. She has beautiful hair and a great personality and will play with best of them on a national level in the May division. Everyone asks about “655. First pen.” Now everyone knows and she’s ready to show you what she’s made of!
SUPREME CHAMPION FEMALE, 2022 TULSA DONOR DAM TO LOT 9 & 10
GRAND CHAMPION SIMMENTAL FEMALE, 2022 JUNIOR NATIONAL DONOR DAM TO LOT 9 & 10

GRAND CHAMPION SIMMENTAL FEMALE, 2023 JUNIOR NATIONAL MATERNAL SIB TO LOT 1, 2, 3, 4, 11, 12, 13 & 14
What Roxi has done in terms of purebred Simmental production has been nothing short of sensational. However, after doing her to variety of high percentage Maine-Anjou sires well let’s just say it might be her most impressive work yet! This mating to OTB gave us exactly what we were looking for in terms of extremely high-quality Maine influenced stock with more maternal attributes and added real world cattle performance. Cattle that are sound structured, easy keeping, eye appealing, and can show real world cattlemen they can keep up the performance of the so called “high numbered” cattle that make you want to wear your Ray Charles glasses at the feed bunk. Roxi’s Not Sorry has added power and squareness and that extra shot of bone and foot we all are looking for. 11N gives you enough look to win on the chips and the added substance to know they are going to make us money in the donor pen. Staying true to the name Divas AND Donors!
Lot 12
The second of the two On The Brink x Roxi’s and one I have always thought would make an insanely good yearling. Extra extension, extra body, great running gears and let’s not forget that lightening bolt racing down her head. I really don’t think it matters how you choose to show these percentages. They can both play on a national level and win. The extras that Now You See Me brings to the table will propel her into the forefront of every class with her genuine quality being the slam dunk every time. The kind that win big in the end and do it in dominating fashion. Ride the lightening and make bank when you are done!
GRAND CHAMPION SIMMENTAL HEIFER,
IOWA STATE FAIR
Lot 13
Oh, the tingles and butterflies that a certain female can give me. You know, one glance, and then you do the double take and trip over something as you are walking to the corner because you can’t stop staring at her amazing, good looks and captivating beauty….. sorry Carmen, I know you are probably going to type these footnotes for me, but I am actually talking about lot 13. I mean if you visited the farm and missed this thing its time for a new hobby sport! She is straight up fun. Fun to dissect. Fun to gawk at. Fun to dream of the possibilities! Maybe as exciting of a critter as I have laid eyes on this fall. She posed and pictured in about 20 seconds and then decided to do it 8 more times. She was born to show off. She is special. See you sale day in Dixon.
How much hotter can a pedigree get? The outrageously hot Memphis Mafia and Roxi. It’s like an arranged wedding in Dubai minus the smell of curry and Drakkar from the gas station bathroom cologne dispenser. Ok, maybe I should stay on track. This mating is pure gold. Show. Breed. Flush. Continue to flush. The handbook is simple enough it doesn’t require a DEI staffer to explain it. She’s versatile enough to raise em on both sides of the ring and definitely high quality enough to refill the freon in the cooler. This mating was a long time coming and needless to say we are fired up! I can promise you when her show career is over, I will be calling to utilize my reserved flushes. This bovine is going to straight up work! So go ahead, get your ducks in a row. This one is necessary!
If you don’t like this one, we can’t be friends. You can try to but good luck telling me what’s wrong with this one. She checks enough boxes we could end the government shutdown on her merits. Balance, feminine, structural integrity, maternal, baldy head, and the list goes on! She is so good in all her angles and the way she holds it together in a smooth yet captivating package. She’s backed by a sire that just sired Wayne and Barb’s high selling bull and by a cow that have been making them for an entire generation. Nighty Night is a sweetheart to boot and if her new owner would let us help, I bet there is a rockstar purebred coming from this one down the road.
Lot 16
One that comes to us from a decorated Reserve National Champion at Angus Junior Nationals and an absolutely potent cow family in the “Ellie” family tree. Change Is Coming and 2112 complimented each other in every aspect of this mating, creating quite the creature! This wedge built, open bodied, captivating female, again screams out as an elite futuristic purple chasing bred that has done nothing but garner more and more praise every day! Her genuine smooth and well seamed pieces can be appreciated by both show stock enthusiasts and the best seasoned cattlemen alike. It isn’t chance. Its predictability. Take out the guesswork and take home a champion.
RETAINING 2 FLUSHES AT SELLERS’ EXPENSE AND BUYERS’ CONVENIENCE
Lot
Let me tell you about sure things in life….death, taxes, and this thing is a badass! There is not another calf on the farm that more people have asked about than this bovine. And while it may be in part to her wild color pattern, it is always most definitely about how damn good this animal is. Flawless structure and perfection at the ground. Her mass matches her perfect blend of capacity and muscle. She’s arrogant and photogenic. Her hair coat is of the highest quality and that color….oh my gosh that color is something you wont soon forget. Want a little extra shot of encouragement? She’s TH/PHA clean! This one is going to be a blast. Both in the ring and at donor housing. Enjoy!

Angus
The Angus lineup is one you simply can’t overlook! This year’s offering represents some of the most potent and proven cow families in the Angus breed—females that balance elite show-ring appeal with lasting production value.
From the powerful 2112 of the Clark Family, a dominating Primo x Elle who claimed banners at Congress and Junior Nationals, to descendants of the legendary Phyllis, Sara’s Dream, and Proven Queen cow families, this lineup is steeped in royalty. These pedigrees have written chapters of Angus history—and the next generation is ready to continue the story.
Whether you’re looking to secure your next champion or a foundation donor to elevate your program, these Angus Divas deliver the kind of quality and consistency that define success in the ring and in the pasture.
BELLE 2112
PHYLLIS 9192
SARA’S DREAM 5116
If you were at the 2022 NJAS in Kansas City you may want to forget how bad the weather and facility were. One thing I guarantee you is no one forgets is how badass the Reserve Grand Heifer of the Clark family was. Now, that heifer is going to prove herself in the donor pen and it starts right here with this incredible female. A pedigree that is truly made for the backdrop. No sire is hotter than the great Dignity and combine that with Primo on the bottom side it’s no accident this heifer is as unique as she is. Insane belly shape with a neck as long as the list of her moms accomplishments, this sale highlight is destined for greatness.
Dignity has made his mark on the Angus breed like few sires have ever before and this heifer is a perfect example of why. Feminine, functional, powerful, she combines so many good attributes that it’s hard to know where to start and where to stop. Then when you stop and study her pedigree, the bottom side is stacked with champions and powerful donors including the infamous 532. A powerful, complete heifer with one of the most consistent pedigrees you could possibly think of, trust the breeding and bid with confidence.
Lot 20
Welcome to the freak show!!! Arrogant, attractive, sexy, I don’t care what adjective you use to describe this heifer, they all fit!! This yak haired daughter of the dominant sire 24K is truly a sight to see! Its not often you can get the style and pizzazz she possesses and still combine it with the belly shape and structure it takes to be successful in today’s show ring. There is no doubt she will be a force to be reckoned with in her division come junior national time next year. Combine all her attributes with a stacked pedigree, she’s definitely going to be fun in the donor pen when she hangs up the show halter.
When we are looking for Angus to put on the sale we always tell ourselves that we don’t want them to fit in the “norm”. We love outlier pieces in cattle and this one sure fits the bill. The power, punch and big huge feet and legs are for sure unique for the breed and combine that with a pedigree that exudes consistency. No one in the country breeds more high dollar and show winning heifers than RJ and he definitely knocked it out of the park again with this awesome female.
The amount of donor-quality cow power standing at Hickey Land and Cattle is nothing short of extraordinary, and this head-turner is a prime example. She’s bred in the purple, backed by a dam that was successfully shown and named Grand Champion Angus at the American Royal. This female offers a bold, capacious fore rib and center body, and her long, level hip—with a wide, functional pin set—gives her a powerful yet elegant presence. We couldn’t be higher on her future. Her upside is undeniable, and she’s absolutely worth the trip to Dixon. Don’t miss out!
Hereford
The 2025 Divas Hereford offering has us more excited than ever. This year’s lineup of Hereford Divas truly represents what we stand for — PROVEN cow families, PROVEN show ring success, and HIGH END customer service. Each female in this set carries the strength of a program built on consistency, quality, and results.
We’ve said it before, but this year’s offering may just be our best yet. Big shoes to fill? Absolutely. But we’re confident these Divas are more than up to the challenge.
Do your research. Check the track records. You’ll see you’re working with people who are passionate about what they do, dedicated to your family’s goals, and committed to your success.
The proof is in the champions — and our customers and crews are at the heart of it all. We’re proud to say we have the best customers, crew, and support network in the nation.

MIRAGE 1327 - DAUGHTERS
HAWK ROSE 31H
Spring, Summer, and Fall, visitors ask what the hell is that one! Easy way to start the Hereford offering! This heavy hitter is out of Marksman and VIP 510. Her full sib was recently 4th overall at the Indiana State Fair for Colin Deatsman and family. VIP 510 is rapidly becoming our go to young gun donor! Madden combines power, presence, and predictability needed to win often and when it counts. She has a maternal look with a huge rib cage and jet smooth shoulder. Her foot size and bone structure is flat awesome! Her game will be Madden 26!

If you know Jeff…he asks and expects our best! When Dora came up the ridge he said, “Radical and Horned”! This one might earn like Dora the Explorer when she’s in production! She’s one of our first looks at Fitz Dignified 104J calves. Wow he’s been pleasing! Mated with Mirage doesn’t hurt either! Picture says it! The way Dora comes out of the top of her shoulder is amazing! She’s so soft made in her mid-section with incredible turn to her cage. This beauty is strong spined and square pinned. Lethal character here!

She is stamped super correct, blending power and elegance! This red-eyed chic profiles so smooth and never disappoints from a volume standpoint with the bonus of pin point hair to go along! When she hauls to Dixon her stock will keep rising!

I have to say it! Punchy! This one is as classic as her name. Polled and powerful to start. Platinum has been used with great success. We tried him to Rose and we made a hit! Presley is stout, big backed and burly! Her power hip and massive rib blends well in to her cool front and tidy chest. If you’re hunting for a big time show heifer, look here. I like her chances next summer!

Dream is an April Horned Dignified x Rose. We are offering two of these full sisters. Bonus! This mating has worked and we will mate Rose right back this way in the next couple of weeks. Dream has undeniable style and elegance! Jeff has been over a few times and always leaves with Dream on his short list. Her rear leg design is killer and hits perfect on the move. Dream lays that shoulder in smoothly and commands attention! She is impressive from a squareness standpoint and will keep things warm in Dixon on Black Friday!
RES. GRAND CHAMPION HEREFORD, 2025 AMERICAN ROYAL
SIB TO LOT 25 & 26
This Dignified/Rose Polled May has two things going for her. High quality and a big time future! Her cool markings coupled with her huge center cavity bring this gal to the front rapidly!

Check this May baby out – she will win banners!

GRAND CHAMPION HEREFORD, 2025 INSF MATERNAL SIB TO LOT 28
Donna is our last Hereford lot, but definitely anchors her position like a dawg! She will hunt! This beauty is perfect marked with impeccable extension and a killer look from the side. Her neck latch and skinny throat are absolutely what it takes to be a prime player! Rib and shape is not a weakness on Donna! I challenge you to find a better haired, punchy ribbed, and cool made one across the nation. She’s here and will love the bright lights!

A personal favorite from the day she jumped off the trailer. Added length, extra square, awesome feet, predictability stamped into her pedigree. She’s got extra substance at the surface with big ring good looks and the attitude to showcase it. I love the way her mature size reads to be spot on and she balances and blends so nice on the side. Maine-Anjou cattle are red hot right now and for good reason! Winning shows across the country and being used to raise High Maines, MaineTainers, and Maine-Angus. A female like this will prove her worth at the end of a halter, but could change a program forever.
Full sib to this years Reserve National Champion at Maine Junior Nationals! The pinnacle of quality with big pieces. Giant paws held on by big bones all settled under a big wide pinset and stout body. She’s great haired and as friendly as a used car salesman. An outlier that is built for the big stage. You know like one with green chips and stadium seating. The back-to-back production of championship caliber full sisters tells us she’s no one hit wonder and the undeniable quality tells us she’s ready to carry the torch to the backdrop!
In true broken record form, we have yet another full sister to a top five finisher at last year’s Maine Junior Nationals. Real downer right? LOL. Our friends at Blind Badger have been straight up hammering out champions year over year for decades now. A combination of the nation’s elite sires and top shelf donors have delivered as consistent as seeing a rattlesnake at the ranch if you visit. This Made Man daughter is unreal in her ability to pack this much body and punch into a petite headed, coke bottle necked, stunning package. Perfect balance and silhouette with the tires that squeal and burn off down the road! Like we said, a full sister to the Tlach family’s 4th overall at junior nationals. Homework is done. Head out to the party.
Lot 33
These Made Man cattle are everything we expected them to be. He moderated and added body while cleaning up structure and adding hair. Criss crossing types and kinds that are both show ring and real world. This vixen is exactly that. Big caged and maternal bodied with great joints and feet. She’s lady like in her skull and front attachment and has awesome hair. She blends so nicely and seamlessly from the fore rib to flank and gives you the mini version look of an incredible bred next year at this time. Her incredible and consistent donor dam has been potent in production, consistently producing high sellers and champions. She’s a no holes package that has the pedigree to back it up. Raise your hand in Dixon!
This punchy, cool built, Made Man daughter can strut her stuff. She’s great wheeled and footed with all the mass you will ever need. Her mother was an outstanding pick up from the Ohlrichs program in Nebraska that seen some purple herself. This lady has straight up authority. She carries a load, and she carries it well. If you’re hunting a high Maine that can gather the purple and the green, look no further. Nasty Habit is your girl!
Lot 35
Like Aerosmith said, “We’re living on the edge!” This thing is something. Eccentric, arrogant, authoritative, but with all the credentials to back it up! The lone spring heifer calf out of the Seys family popular champion from last years that had everyone in awe. Start at the ground with ridiculously big paws, that hook onto the tree trunk legs and get out and flat move. She’s perfectly balanced and maternal in her center body. And her presence? Second to none. A favorite to many visitors and rightfully so! Top 5 contender no matter where you go, no matter when, bring em on.
The first Mafia Max heifer we have offered here at Divas and Donors and most certainly will not be the last. This animal has bones and feet in surplus and absolutely never quits showing off. She’s loud and proud. These Mafia Max’s are awesome haired with all the extras we look for in elite show stock. Extra shape from the side with the high tying neck and head that dares you not to look. Cattle like this can go on to raise elite breeding stock or show steers. Elite purebred Maine. Big hair, big pieces, big fun!
Timber!! This female is the result of mating a Clydesdale to a Maine. If you haven’t seen her in person, it is something. Truly the biggest fattest feet, and bones ever. She’s stout built and rugged constructed with great hair and fresh new pedigree. Cattle like this always excel on the tan bark but make production-oriented people drool with mating capabilities. Loud pieces and added performance with a dual registered high Maine. Wait 3 way registered- she’s a percentage draft horse as well. Fun livestock on or off the halter

Hey Steph, this heifer gets me as fired up as that live band did the night of Carmen and I’s wedding—man, you can dance! I’ve got to admit, when this one stepped off the trailer, I might’ve danced a quick jig myself. She’s an absolutely exciting specimen. What caught me first was how square and wide-built she is from end to end. She’s bold and opened up through her center body, yet doesn’t take a single bad step. The Lucy 610D cow family has been bulletproof, producing champion after champion. Her name might be Not My Problem, but trust me—she’s about to be everyone’s problem
Hey Dunk, I don’t know how many frozen pizzas you ate after the reception at our wedding, but I clearly remember you were a big fan. And like Steph dancing with enthusiasm and you for the pizza, I felt the same way when you sent this one on the trailer. Such arrogance this lady exemplifies. She’s got all the “show me” looks but its all hooked on to the undeniable maternal body build with an added shot of performance. The Francisco bull was an OKC champion himself and the Franny cow family is straight up on fire producing countless high sellers the past two falls. An elite MaineTainer backed by lineage that produces results both in the ring and out
Lot 40
Time Is Now! Get on board on this hot new sire! These cattle are so complete and at the same time great build and stout featured with perfect markings. This brockle headed beauty has been on the short list since jumping off the bus and I was a fan before just on pedigree alone. She is so smooth and so well balanced. Ample power and great get up and go. Her markings are perfection with just the right amount of white to set her off. Her Paradox x Franny donor dam was a multiple time champion that BBR was extremely excited to get into production and with results like this it’s quite obvious why. One that can play ball with the best of them. Bid with confidence.
Brian Fox likes to be a real rebel once in a while and do things like mate a super-hot really good and consistent MaineTainer bull to probably his most consistent donor dam that has produced multiple champions and see what happens. What a complete psycho huh?! The truth is you buy the best bulls. You own the best donors. You raise the best calves. No Love Lost is exactly that. A perfect baldy with added dimension and body that has ginormous bones and feet. She is exactly what we are striving for. Hard to make livestock. This thing will most certainly stick out in the show ring but the accolades in the donor pen will be damn good for the bank account.
RES. GRAND CHAMPION, 2021 AMERICAN ROYAL MATERNAL SIB TO LOT
This little lady is really something. She is ridiculously hairy and ridiculously tame, with a huge rib cage and skinny little neck and head. She’s perfectly square hipped and pinned and sits perfectly square out of her knee. She is the picture-perfect wedge built female that is flat shouldered and opens up running backwards. I sincerely feel this animal will be abundantly successful on the end of the halter. She is just so complete in her overall build and will be tame enough for a firstyear showman. In production there is limitless options for matings and a multitude of ways to be a true cash cow. Competitive youngster alert. This heifer is for you!
Straight up ground pounding good beef! This one stays in shape on wind and water. Big rugged bones and shoes with substance for days. She is everything Maine-Angus cattle are supposed to represent. Maternal and easy keeping with extra substance and look. She is square made and like her full sister will be an ATM in machine production

Jamie and Jackie have brought us one here I believe a great deal in. A full sister to the Dunklau family’s Junior National Champion that was absolutely dominant during her show career. Her genuine good is undeniable. She is perfect sized, she is elegantly built, she is maternal, she is flexible, and she is predictable. Every tangible piece necessary to culminate in success. She has exploded as of late and my confidence in this bovine has skyrocketed. Take the quality with the confidence found in her genetic profile and we have a recipe for success!

These are most definitely not your grandpas Chi’s. Not So Fast is a full sister in blood to multiple champions and most recently a $200k high seller for Schaeffer Show Cattle in Indiana. This girl is ready. She is burly and big bodied with an arsenal of weapons. She is shag nasty haired to boot. We have been talking about the amount of shows these Primo x WDM matings have won multiplied by the number dollars they have produced in the last 3 years and you have Jeff Bezos bank balance. Simply put there might not be a more potent mating in the show cattle world. They win. They produce. This one will be no different.
