GOET 180 X GEF MISS DOMINATRIX 236A • 3/4 MAINE ANJOU (AMAA 484081)

BBR Memphis Mafia 3E ET

•LOT A1 - A5: 5 PACKAGES OF 1 UNIT OF SEMEN H BBR Memphis Mafia 3E ET has secured his place among the most influential bulls the industry has ever seen. A former Champion, his life was cut far too short, but his legacy continues to grow through an extraordinary set of progeny.

The influence of Memphis Mafia has only accelerated with time, as his daughters dominate both high-seller lists and the tanbark. Two of the most recognizable examples are flush sisters LDSC Stella 152K and LDSC Shirley 155K, featured in the 2022 Doris Pasture Sale, where the Gensini family invested $305,000 in each. Their success helped propel Memphis Mafia into the national spotlight. Together, they compiled an unmatched résumé, including Grand Champion MaineTainer Heifer honors at the Illinois State Fair, American Royal, and the North American International Livestock Exposition, along with Reserve Grand Champion MaineTainer Heifer at the National Junior Heifer Show in 2023.

The financial impact of BBR Memphis Mafia 3E ET is staggering. Through the marketing of daughters and semen, he is widely credited with generating nearly $10 million in revenue—redefining the ceiling for elite show heifer prospects.

With his untimely passing, the supply of Memphis Mafia semen is now extremely limited and nearing depletion. This offering represents one of the final opportunities to purchase semen in volume directly from the source. Invest with confidence in a bull whose influence will be felt for generations.

Rosewood Bellagio 090

•LOT B1 - B5: 5 PACKAGES OF 2 UNITS OF SEMEN H This is a unique opportunity to acquire semen from the $160,000 high-selling bull of the 2024 Conley Cattle Bull Sale. We are proud to offer Rosewood Bellagio 090, widely regarded as one of the most impressive sons of the influential KR Casino 6243 in existence.

KR Casino 6243 has made a significant impact on the Angus breed in a remarkably short time, despite extremely limited semen availability. For breeders seeking a proven alternative that delivers the same power with added maternal strength, Rosewood Bellagio 090 offers an exceptional option with even greater cow power.

Bellagio 090 is backed by the renowned Champion Hill Georgina cow family, responsible for producing Conley DT Georgina 1076, the 2023 NJAS Grand Champion Owned Heifer for the Collum family of Oklahoma. She was also named the 2023 Cattlemen’s Congress ROV Reserve Grand Champion Angus Heifer.

Rosewood Bellagio 090 is a must-use sire for adding power, substance, skeletal integrity, and eye appeal. He delivers the stoutness and muscle of KR Casino 6243, combined with more length, extension, and a smoother, more refined build.

Don’t let this rare opportunity pass you by.

Few breeding programs in the club calf industry—or within the Maine-Anjou breed—have been responsible for developing so many elite, foundational sires. These are bulls that have advanced the breed and raised the bar for cattlemen who proudly call themselves Maine-Anjou breeders. No program has pushed the needle further in combining ideal phenotype with luxurious, eye-catching hair, all while prioritizing structural correctness and true calving-ease functionality demanded by practical cattlemen.

History provides clear proof. The legendary GOET I-80, a Cowan’s Ali son out of the great BPF Miley 80T, stands as one of the most influential sires of the modern era. Miley 80T was a many-time show champion and one of the most impactful donor females of the past two decades. The modern lower belly shape so frequently discussed by today’s judges—the ideal underline shape that defines competitive show heifers—can be traced directly to the earliest I-80 cattle. One could convincingly argue that I-80 and his daughters helped define the standard of perfection in the modern show heifer.

The evolution continued with GOET Drivin 80. Few sires have left a larger footprint on the Maine-Anjou breed. With more than 1,000 registered sons and daughters—and registrations continuing to increase annually—Drivin 80’s influence remains undeniable. Even as new, highly promoted sires enter the marketplace each year, his demand continues to grow for one simple reason: his progeny consistently rank among the very best the breed has to offer.

Following in those historic footsteps, we are excited to introduce GOET Outsource—a true low birth weight, calving-ease sire that refuses to sacrifice style, balance, hair, or maternal quality. Outsource exemplifies the functional, long-lasting kind of cattle the breed demands today.

A closer look at his pedigree further reinforces his value. As a son of Drivin 80, Outsource stacks two of the most powerful cow lines in the Maine Anjou breed—BPF Miley 80T and Mercedes 701P—on the top side. His maternal lineage adds another elite layer, combining Loaded Up, son of the legendary Black Blaze II 5T—one of the most influential Simmental females of all time—with the incomparable Seldom Rest BRMF Bardot 890. Bardot 890, a past National Champion ROV Angus female, has proven herself as one of the most influential donor cows in the Angus breed over the last decade.

Bardot 890 is the dam of numerous elite, winning Angus females, including the famed Seldom Rest Bardot 8021, shown by Sara Sullivan. Bardot 8021 captured Grand Champion Angus Female honors at the 2019 North American International Livestock Exposition, followed by dominant victories at the 2020 National Western Stock Show and the 2020 Fort Worth Stock Show. Many will also remember Bardot 890’s son, Seldom Rest Regulate 0105, who earned Supreme Champion Bull honors across all breeds at the 2022 Cattlemen’s Congress—further cementing this cow family’s reputation for producing elite, breed-defining cattle with longevity and maternal power.

Both phenotypically and genotypically, GOET Outsource is a must-use sire. He now joins an elite lineup of influential bulls produced by the Goettemoeller program, including I-80, Getcha Some, I believe, I Am Here, Main Man, Made to Order, Burning Man, and Drivin 80.

Your opportunity to get in on the ground floor begins on the 19th. Semen will be available to the open market in limited quantities at a later date; however, the only guaranteed access will be through The Collection offering. Semen will be released in the order it is sold. Bred by Goettemoeller & Tourlucias

•LOT 1B: 1 PACKAGE OF 3 EMBRYOS SIRED BY TLAC Hits Different 1409L ET SEXED FEMALE **AVAILABLE 4/15 We are proud to introduce Ruby 803F, the proven donor behind one of the most dominant Purebred Simmental females the industry has witnessed in recent memory. As the dam of JMSC Revlon 408M, 803F has firmly established herself as a cornerstone producer, responsible for a heifer whose impact has been nothing short of extraordinary. Few cattle—past or present—have commanded the level of attention, admiration, and respect that 408M has earned throughout her career.

JMSC Revlon 408M burst onto the scene at the 2024 OSU AGR Winter Bonanza, where she captured Grand Champion Overall Heifer honors in both Rings A and B for Chloee Clark. That momentum only accelerated in 2025, beginning with her selection as Grand Champion Purebred Simmental Heifer at the Oklahoma Youth Expo, followed by Reserve Supreme Champion Purebred Breeding Heifer. Her winning ways continued in Tulsa where she struck again as the Supreme Champion Junior Breeding Heifer at the 2025 Tulsa State Fair.

From there, 408M traveled to Kansas City for the American Royal, where she was named Grand Champion Junior Purebred Simmental Heifer before earning the coveted title of Supreme Champion Junior Breeding Heifer. Her performance placed her among the most celebrated junior breeding heifers ever to claim that honor. She carried that dominance forward to Louisville, where she was selected Grand Champion Junior Purebred Simmental Heifer at the 2025 North American International Livestock Exposition, followed by Reserve Supreme Champion Junior Breeding Heifer on the green chips of Freedom Hall. Not finished yet, 408M later added Reserve Grand Champion Open Purebred Simmental Heifer at NAILE, further solidifying her place among the breed’s elite.

She wasn’t finished—she was simply saving her best for last. She still had one more statement to make. Just a few weeks ago at Cattlemen’s Congress, under the bright lights of the new OKC Fairgrounds OP&G Complex, she electrified the crowd by being crowned Supreme Champion Female—an exclamation point that elevated her from a breed standout to industry icon.

Lot A presents an extraordinary opportunity to acquire sexed female, full-sibling embryos to the incomparable JMSC Revlon 408M. These embryos are sired by Revelation 2K, a young Simmental sire whose influence has rapidly reshaped the breed. His ability to consistently transmit elite quality, eye appeal, structure, and substance—across both Purebred and Percentage progeny—has made him one of the most sought-after sires in the industry today. Market confidence in this genetic combination is already proven, as Jeff Jackson invested $31,500 last fall in a full sibling to the embryos offered in this lot.

Lot B sired by what is quickly proving to be the most exciting Maine Anjou bull of the decade TLAC Hits Different 1409L ET, whose rookie season was nothing short of remarkable.

His progeny have dominated sale reports nationwide, with daughters commanding $165,000, $127,000, $85,000, $65,000, and countless others from $10,000 to $60,000 Few opportunities this year carry the upside of this one. These embryos can change the trajectory of a operation for the betterment of the entire industry Opportunities like this rarely surface. This is a chance to align yourself with a proven cow family, a dominant sire, and genetics that are setting the pace at the highest levels of competition. Step aboard—the fast track is waiting.

Collection Exclusive — Back for the Second Year At The Collection, we work tirelessly to assemble and present the very best genetics available to the buying public. That process is anything but simple. Many of these offerings require countless phone calls, text messages, and more than a little persuasion to convince elite breeders to part with their most valuable genetics. We do not take that responsibility lightly.

In this case, we owe a tremendous debt of gratitude to the godfather of the club calf business, Dean Kephart, for once again keeping this incredible cow family exclusively within The Collection.

Every great story has a beginning, and this one starts in Louisville, Kentucky. Dean discovered and purchased GOF Miss Dolly 215H at the 2021 North American International Livestock Exposition—on the very night before she was selected Reserve Grand Champion. That purchase would prove to be nothing short of visionary.

Prior to NAILE, Dolly had already built an impressive résumé. Earlier that year she was named Reserve Grand Champion at the Ohio Beef Expo and was selected Fourth Overall at the Maine-Chi National Junior Heifer Show, winning as both a Chianina and a Maintainer. Her momentum continued as she was crowned Grand Champion Maintainer at the 2022 Cattlemen’s Congress, culminating in a career-defining moment when she was selected Supreme Champion Female at the 2022 Oklahoma Youth Expo.

Dolly’s transition from show ring standout to elite producer was seamless. Her first crop of embryo transplant calves headlined Lots 1A, 1B, 1C, and 1D at the Winegardner/ Klingman Harvest of Excellence Sale. The highlights were nothing short of spectacular. Lot 1A, an Onset daughter, commanded $140,000 when she sold to the Dunklau family, while Lot 1D, a Weis All Me daughter, brought $70,000 and went to Quentin Dykeman.

Those females wasted no time adding banners to their résumés. BMW Dolly 206 ET made a high-profile debut at the 2025 Cattlemen’s Congress, where she was selected Reserve Champion Maintainer and Grand Champion Chianina. She followed that performance by storming the Junior Nationals, ultimately earning Supreme Champion Chianina and Reserve Champion Maintainer honors. Her success carried into the fall at NAILE, where she was named Reserve Champion in both the Junior Chianina and Maintainer shows and capped the week as Grand Champion Chianina Female in the Open Show.

Her final run down the tanbark was fittingly historic. At the 2026 Cattlemen’s Congress, BMW Dolly 206 followed directly in her dam’s footsteps, winning Champion Maintainer in both the Junior and Open Shows and ultimately being selected Reserve Supreme Female across all breeds.

BMW Dolly 502 ET, campaigned by Jackson Stevens, carved out an impressive path of her own. She began her show career as Reserve Grand Champion Maine-Anjou at the Hoosier Beef Congress. While she wasn’t shown as extensively as her maternal sister, her accomplishments are noteworthy—particularly her victory at the North American International Livestock Exposition, where she defeated here maternal sister BMW Dolly 206 ET to claim Champion Chianina honors, with her sister finishing Reserve.

BPF Miss Me 528C was a truly elite show female, highlighted by her Reserve Grand Champion Chianina Female title at the Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo, along with multiple breed championships and numerous top-five finishes at major Midwest jackpot shows. Bred and raised by Bushy Park Farms, 528C and a select group of flush mates from the influential 910Y donor became both top sellers and banner winners across the country. Those flush mates found homes with respected programs including Edelman, Goss, Morrey, McCullough, Moonen, and Willow Springs.

What set 528C apart was her extra power compared to most Style daughters, paired with an impeccable build and a picture-perfect silhouette. She was the complete package—phenotypically striking, structurally sound, and built to win at the highest level.

Lot A offers full-sibling embryos to the heifer campaigned by the Norvell family that captured Grand Champion Maintainer Female honors in the Junior Show at the 2022 Cattlemen’s Congress, followed by Reserve Champion Maintainer at the North American International Livestock Exposition, and ultimately being named Supreme Champion Female at the 2022 Oklahoma Youth Expo. Today, she stands as a cornerstone donor for both KBar and Winegardner/Klingman, generating nearly a quarter-million dollars in her first crop of embryo calves.

The impact of this cow family continues to multiply. As detailed on the corresponding page, her daughters have gone on to remarkable success, including not one, but two national champion females. BMW Dolly 502 ET was selected Grand Champion at the North American International Livestock Exposition, while BMW Dolly 206 ET followed directly in her dam’s footsteps—winning Champion Maintainer in both the Junior and Open Shows and earning Reserve Supreme Female honors across all breeds. This is a rare opportunity to acquire full-sibling embryos to one of the most admired and influential donors of the modern era.

Lot B features a mating that has the entire K-Bar crew buzzing: TLAC Hits Different 1409L ET crossed with Miss Me 528C. Hits Different’s rookie season produced one high seller after another, and this genetic combination is built to deliver power, look, and marketability at the highest level.

Lot C highlights a proven, no-introduction-needed sire in JBOY One For All 001J ET. This mating is backed by consistency and predictability, offering the kind of exceptional quality and return on investment that serious breeders and buyers expect.

This offering represents a rare blend of proven show-ring success, donor power, and long-term genetic versatility—exactly the type of opportunity The Collection is known for.

Against all odds, she has emerged as one of the most recognizable and trusted genetic sources in the show steer business, earning her place as a cornerstone donor If there were a defining moment that signaled the rise of “Lil Red,” it came at the 2023 American Royal Steer Show. The Rodgers family arrived with one of the first In God We Trust sons out of “Lil Red,” The hype proved justified when he was selected as the 2023 American Royal Reserve Grand Champion Market Steer for Shaylynn Rodgers. Remarkably, the story didn’t end there. The following year, the Rodgers family duplicated that success with a $110,000 full brother, this time capturing the Reserve Grand Champion Market Steer banner at the 2024 North American International Livestock Exposition.

The Rodgers family success was only the opening chapter. Since then, “Lil Red” has continued to write winning stories for families across the country. The Lewis family of Oklahoma claimed the 2023 Oklahoma State Fair Grand Champion Prospect Steer with an IGWT x “Lil Red” mating. That same powerful combination went on to produce the Bell family’s 2024 Tulsa State Fair Grand Champion Steer, as well as the Levan family’s Third Overall Champion Steer at the 2024 Ohio State Fair.

Beyond the show ring, “Lil Red” has proven her versatility and long-term impact by producing an impressive lineup of young promotional sires, including Red & White Delight, Chief, Golden Rule, Paved With Gold, and Trust His Plan— You will only find Little Red genetics two places one has ice sculpture the other is The Collection.

Lot A offers sexed male embryos that will result in full siblings to the champions and high sellers referenced above. These embryos represent some of the most sought-after club calf genetics to be offered each year.

Lot B offers full siblings from the rarer yet highly sought-after mating to the promotional sire Red White & Delight. Offered nonsorted, this opportunity will be especially appealing to those who understand the upside—because a female from this mating could be the difference between simply making the farm payment and paying it off.

Finally, Lot C comes available only after considerable persuasion—a sexed male pregnancy by How Great Thou Art, due in mid-May. Whether this calf develops into a promotional bull, sold as a holdover, or the kind that draws every high-end trader to your place this fall, the potential is undeniable. Regardless of where this lot lands on sale day, it has all the ingredients to return the investment— and then some.

Collection Exclusive Your opportunity to own a true champion-producing money printing factory.

Introducing 515—the dam of the legendary “Lil Red” donor—now offered with what may be her most exciting genetic opportunity yet. The previous page highlighted the remarkable legacy of Lil Red: champions, high sellers, and now emerging AI promotional sires. But the story doesn’t stop there. This cow family runs deep, and 515 is far from a one-hit wonder.

A maternal sister to Lil Red, Smith 145, has quietly built an impressive résumé of her own. A FSF Perfection 812 daughter from this cow family commanded $56,000 at the 2021 First Class Female Sale, and today Smith 145 continues to build momentum in the Mitch Dankes program in Nebraska, where she produced a $40,000 high-selling steer calf in last year’s sale.

The demand for this lineage only continues to intensify. Last spring, Boyert Core offered a full sister to Lil Red as a fall-born heifer calf. She quickly became one of the most sought-after donor prospects of the season, ultimately commanding a $40,500 price tag.

This year’s offering is truly unique. We present a package of non-sexed, linebred embryos sired by Lil Red’s TH-clean son Red White & Delight — non-sexed by design. Yes, you read that correctly: a strategic grandmother × grandson mating. These embryos were created by Tim for himself, with the goal of producing a clean, next-generation donor to anchor the future of the program.

Three calves from this exact mating are already on the ground. Unfortunately for Tim every one of them has been a dark cherry-red male solid color.

According to Tim, they are nothing short of exceptional individuals.

This is a rare chance to tap directly into one of the hottest and most reliable maternal lines in the show steer industry. Opportunities like this don’t come around often—don’t let this one pass you by.

Miss Maddie has firmly established herself as a recognizable and respected name among elite show steer producers. Her pedigree supports that reputation, as she continues to add to the growing list of impactful daughters by NMR Maternal Made that are succeeding at the highest levels of competition.

With access to the best genetics in the country, Luke Doris selected a son of Miss Maddie to headline Cannon Reimann’s summer campaign—and that decision proved to be spot on. This How Great Thou Art son was a true outlier, pushing the boundaries with his exceptional build, unique design, and commanding presence. Each time he entered the ring, he raised expectations.

Under Cannon’s skilled guidance, this calf captured some of the most prestigious banners in the nation, including: • 2025 National Western Stock Show Grand Champion Prospect Steer • 2025 South Dakota State Fair Grand Champion Market Steer • 2025 Aksarben Grand Champion Market Steer He consistently impressed judges and spectators alike with his rare combination of power, balance, and structural correctness.

Miss Maddie has proven she is no one-hit wonder. Most recently, she produced another How Great Thou Art son that sold for $45,000 this past fall, further solidifying her status as a rising force in the club calf world. Momentum continues to build, and this donor shows no signs of slowing down.

For those looking to accelerate the trajectory of their program, this is a moment worth seizing. Both the Here I Am and How Great Thou Art matings on Miss Maddie offer the potential to significantly elevate sale results and long-term profitability.

Lot C delivers access to some of the very best Maine-Anjou genetics available today. This mating is sired by TLAC Hits Different 1409L ET, whose rookie season was nothing short of remarkable.

She delivers—every single time. Cupcake has firmly established herself as one of the most consistent and productive donors in the business. Her 2022 steer, shown by Hadley Hendrickson, was among the most talked-about calves of the 2023 show season. His résumé included Grand Champion Steer honors at the Hoosier Beef Congress, Purdue AGR, Missouri AGR, and Ohio AGS, along with several additional major wins.

That momentum carried into 2024, as Cupcake progeny captured Champion Market Heifer honors and Third Overall at the Full / maternal sib to embryos selling, Nebraska State Fair. Most recently, a Cupcake × Here I Am mating collected banners in both rings at the Michigan Winter Beef 2025 Michigan Winter Classic Reserve Grand Champion Expo, further reinforcing the reliability and versatility of this cow family.

Cupcake has already proven herself as a Collection success story. In 2024, Josh Kastel purchased a Cupcake embryo package that resulted in his all-time top seller—a striking chrome-faced baldy known as “Baby Cakes,” which sold a half interest for $47,000.

Often overlooked, yet equally impressive, is the cow power behind her pedigree. Cupcake is a daughter of W/C Loaded Up and out of the legendary Seldom Rest BRMF Bardot 890, a past National Champion ROV Angus female and one of the most influential donor cows in the Angus breed over the past decade. Bardot 890 is the dam of numerous elite, winning Angus females, including the famed Seldom Rest Bardot 8021, shown by Sara Sullivan. Bardot 8021 earned Grand Champion Angus Female honors at the 2019 North American International Livestock Exposition, followed by dominant victories at the 2020 National Western Stock Show and the 2020 Fort Worth Stock Show—cementing this cow family’s reputation for producing elite, breed-defining cattle.

Perhaps her most exciting achievement came in 2024 with her natural calf by GOET Outsource—a truly rare, low-birth-weight, calving-ease AI sire that stands apart in today’s industry. Outsource combines exceptional phenotype and structural integrity, correct angles, fluid movement, and commanding presence. He is further distinguished by his shaggy, “TH-like” hair and elite eye appeal, all while remaining clean by pedigree and genetically free. GOET Outsource represents the kind of sire breeders have been waiting for—one that blends calving ease, look, and structural integrity without compromise.

Lot A offers Insider Information with the Here I Am × Cupcake mating—ranked at the very top of the implant list for 2026 pregnancies at Goettemoeller. They are fully committed to this proven and potent cross, and for good reason. Lot B presents the next high-powered opportunity from the Cupcake donor, sired by How Great Thou Art. The ceiling on this mating is exceptionally high, with the potential to produce elite, banner-winning cattle. Lot C features the debut mating to New World Order, scheduled to hit the ground this fall. This cross pushes the limits for look, design, and extreme quality, making it the ideal option for those seeking something bold, progressive, and high impact.

We appreciate the Brian, Dru and Spencer Goettemoeller consignments to the sale and the only place you can find embryos on his proven club calf donors is at the Illinois Beef Expo and The Collection.

Her early accolades included a Grand Champion Market Animal title over the steers at Fort Scott, Kansas, followed later that same day by a Third Overall Breeding Heifer placing in the Limousin division under Judge Brent Murphy.

Her winning momentum carried through the spring and summer with continued success wrapping up as Reserve Supreme female at the Iowa Showdown.

Fast-forward to the summer / fall of 2024, when her first set of daughters by Silveiras Style 9303 were offered to the public through MLC’s pasture sales and elite Midwest marketing events.

Those females generated significant excitement for Limflex Cattle, commanding sale prices of $61,500, $26,000, $20,500, $15,000, and $12,000. An additional daughter by SCC SCH 24 Karat 838 sold for $19,500 in the Michelle Lautner Female Sale.

Most notable among these offspring was LTNR Grace 45-M ET, shown by Aliana Hankus. Grace dominated the Illinois show circuit, earning multiple Breed Champion titles and numerous top-five overall finishes. Her show career culminated in being named Supreme Champion Female at the Illinois District Series Finale.

Lot A offers full-sibling embryos to the $61,500, multi-time champion Hankus heifer.

•LOT 11B: 1 PACKAGE OF 3 EMBRYOS SIRED BY BLC/MLA Omega 2258 SEXED FEMALE 3129J, “Brown Sugar,” stands as one of the most accomplished and winningest Limousin females in the breed. Heavily campaigned by the Boyce family, she built an extraordinary show résumé that includes being named a two-time Reserve Supreme Female at the San Antonio Livestock Exposition, capturing a Junior National Championship, and accumulating numerous state and major show wins across the United States.

Beyond her own success in the ring, Brown Sugar has proven her value as a producer. She has already raised a $31,000 Omega and a $21,000 Dignity, and most recently produced the Supreme Champion Female at the 2025 Arizona National, again exhibited by the Boyce family. These results solidify her reputation as a donor that not only competes at the highest level, but consistently produces elite, high-value offspring.

The matings offered here are both proven and come from a donor cow that excels in every measurable category—phenotype, pedigree, and production.

Brown Sugar represents the rare combination of show-ring dominance and real-world donor power.

Adding even more depth to this offering is the maternal strength behind her. The grandmother of this mating, Enchantress 940E, is one of the most decorated cows of her generation. She has produced both a Champion Purebred Limousin and a Champion Lim-Flex at the Junior Nationals, along with champions at every major Texas show, as well as Kansas City, Louisville, and Denver during her lifetime. Very few cow families can match that level of consistency and longevity across multiple breeds and venues.

This mating is consistency at its finest—blending elite Angus influence on the top side with a rock-solid, proven maternal foundation underneath. The result is a donor opportunity that offers both upside and security. These are two true no-miss matings designed to produce high-end, competitive, and extremely profitable cattle.

That cross immediately caught fire when Colburn Annie Lu 4927, shown by McCoy Goff, captured Grand Champion honors at the Ohio State Fair.

Likewise, suggesting this offering may represent one of the most significant investment opportunities in the cattle business for 2026 is entirely justified. While 1339 was a successful show cow in her own right, her true legacy has been forged in production—where few, if any, females of the modern era can rival her impact.

Silveiras Sara’s Dream 1339 has produced more than 35 progeny that have sold for over $25,000—not averages, but individual head. Among those, the top 15 range from $75,000 to $250,000.

The Sara’s Dream cow family continues to dominate elite herds nationwide. Flush sister Sara’s Dream 2335, now at Udell’s, produced the $600,000 record-selling UDE Sara’s Dream 1086, a Blue Chip daughter and NJHS Division Champion. That legacy carried forward to UDE Sara’s Dream 4010, the 2025 North American Livestock Exposition Supreme Champion Female and the inaugural 2026 National Western Stock Show Supreme Champion Female.

Most recently, 1339 added to her legacy as the dam of Colburn Sara’s Dream 3190, an SCC SCH 24 Karat 838 daughter that earned Supreme Champion honors at the 2025 Western Bonanza for Brody Leo, and Colburn Sara’s Dream 4100, also by 24 Karat, selected Supreme Champion Female at the Northern International Livestock Exposition in Billings, Montana, for Claire Murnin.

UDE Saras Dream 4001 is the $40,000 flushmate sister to the $400,000 high-selling female from the 2024 Udell Cattle Company Production Sale. She is a direct daughter of the $600,000 world record–selling UDE Saras Dream 1086, shown by Sara Sullivan, and a granddaughter of the legendary Silveiras Saras Dream 2335. That iconic donor has served as a cornerstone for both the Colburn and Silveiras Brothers programs and is a flushmate to Silveiras Saras Dream 1339, the dam of the influential Colburn Primo 5153.

Her flushmate sister, UDE Saras Dream 4010, has emerged as one of the most decorated Angus females in breed history. Her résumé includes Grand Champion Owned Female at the National Junior Angus Show; Grand Champion Junior and Open Angus Female at both the North American International Livestock Exposition and the National Western Stock Show; and Supreme Champion honors in both the Junior and Open divisions at the North American. She also etched her name into history as the first-ever Supreme Champion Female at the National Western Stock Show. At the Denver edition of Embryos on Snow, the right to flush 4010 brought an unprecedented $87,000, purchased by Nowatzke Cattle.

While her sister dominated the banner count, 4001 separates herself with a powerful, broody build and an exceptionally functional, cow-minded design. She was selected Supreme Champion in Ring A and Reserve Supreme Champion in Ring B at the Badger Brawl—one of the most competitive winter shows in the country—under judges Christy Collins and Dan Harker. In many of the greatest cow families, it is often the stout, maternal sister that becomes the true generator, and 4001 fits that role perfectly.

•LOT 16D: 1 PACKAGE OF 3 EMBRYOS SIRED BY Silveiras Style 9303 SEXED FEMALE Sommers of Rosemary, better known as “Celebrity,” is the definition of a donor that works in silence and lets her offspring do the talking. Tucked away in West Alexandria, Ohio, Celebrity has quietly assembled one of the most impressive production records in the business—built on highly functional, elite daughters that win, generate revenue, and advance programs at the highest levels.

Her influence is already undeniable. Mears Celebrity 1872 earned Reserve Late Spring Calf honors at the North American International Livestock Exposition and followed that with a Reserve Prospect Heifer title at the National Western Stock Show.

Another standout, Mears Celebrity 1895, was a multiple-time breed champion across Ohio for Kyle Piscione before entering the donor pen at Goff Genetics—where she went on to produce a 17-time champion Angus steer, highlighted by being named Grand Champion Angus Steer at the Ohio State Fair for Paige Atkins.

The cornerstone of Celebrity’s legacy, however, is her most influential daughter to date—AC Miss Style 802F, better known as “F1199,” now working at RJ Cattle. F1199 has exploded onto the scene as a true donor-maker. Her daughters include a $45,000 BNWZ Dignity 8017 female sold by Boyert & Core, and RJ Mackenzie M207, the blaze-faced Percentage Simmental heifer by W/C Bankroll 811D campaigned by Keagan Steck of Minnesota. Mackenzie was selected Third Overall Heifer at the 2024 Badger Brawl and followed that performance by being named Supreme Champion Heifer in both rings at the Minnesota Fall Classic. Another standout, RJ RBM Rosemary 563N, commanded $82,500 in the Hartman Cattle Company sale. Clear proof of depth, consistency, and demand.This offering places buyers squarely in the driver’s seat with multiple elite mating options: Lot A features embryos sired by UDE New Heights 62/87, a sire whose daughters average an astonishing $67,092, highlighted by individual sales of $500,000, $207,000, and $201,500 OR by TLAC Hits Different 1409L ET. The Hits Different option yields three-quarter sisters to the $82,500 high-selling Maine Angus heifer purchased by Randy and Troy Jones, from a cow family that has already produced females commanding $165,000, $127,000, $85,000, $65,000, and numerous others ranging from $10,000 to $60,000.

Lot B offers embryos by SCC SCH 24 Karat 838—a first-time mating loaded with upside and designed to generate elite phenotype, marketability, and banner potential.

Lot C introduces two brand-new matings by future breed legends, offering early access to genetics that are poised to shape the next generation.

Lot D is where opportunity turns into legacy. Here, you have the chance to create your own powerhouse donor by Silveiras Style 9303, producing a full sister to the prolific RJ donor F1199, or This is not a gamble. This is proven cow power, stacked pedigrees, and repeatable success. These are the kinds of genetics that pay for themselves and then some.

Repeat Performer! Sultry Dear has been a cornerstone of The Collection since its inception, and her genetics remain in consistently high demand. This year’s offering features brand-new matings that are poised to be among the most exciting of the event.

Much of Sultry Dear’s popularity stems from her quarter-million-dollar daughter, ESS Priscilla 2240K, who won nearly every show she entered and is now a featured donor for Sullivan Farms. “Flawless” is the word most often used to describe her, and many consider her one of the most complete show females ever produced. We are offering half sibling embryos to Priscilla, out of 5978C, a direct daughter of the industry-changing 6640 and the dam of some of the highestgrossing donor cows in the business—JSUL Who Dat Raptor, JSUL Who Dat 1602Y, Who Dat Lady, Who Dat Ginger, Who’s Playing, Who Dat Sultry, and Who Dat Darling. That is true power in the blood.

Sultry Dear is far from a one-hit wonder. At MSU AGR, a Colburn Primo 5133 daughter was named Reserve Grand Champion Female, while another daughter captured Champion Commercial Female honors.

Lot A embryos offer buyers the opportunity to invest in a mating sired by TLAC Hits Different 1409L ET, the $150,000 half-interest bull whose rookie season has been nothing short of remarkable. His progeny have dominated sales nationwide, with standout daughters commanding $165,000, $127,000, $85,000, and $65,000, along with more than two dozen additional females selling from $10,000 to $60,000.

Lot B embryos are sired by UDE New Heights 62/87, whose influence has been immediate and undeniable. The first 14 daughters to sell through Udell’s Production Sale averaged an astounding $67,092, highlighted by sales of $500,000 and $207,000. An additional 12 females have sold for more than $55,000 this fall. The list of elite performers by UDE New Heights 62/87 continues to grow, and the best is clearly yet to come. This mating on 5978C is one that generates tremendous excitement.

“Worthy” is more than just a name—it perfectly defines this extraordinary female. Miss Worthy 1H ET, a Style × Red Thunder daughter, was masterfully campaigned by Spencer Goettemoeller and emerged from an embryo purchase into one of the most dominant Chianina females of the modern era.

Her show résumé is exceptional. She was named 2020 NAILE Division I Champion, 2021 Indiana State Fair Grand Champion Chianina and Third Overall Junior Breeding Heifer, and 2021 American Royal Reserve Grand Champion Chianina Heifer. Her most impressive accomplishment, however, came with back-to-back National Junior Heifer Show Grand Champion Chianina titles—first as a bred heifer in 2021, then repeating the honor in 2022 as a cow/calf pair, a truly rare and historic feat.

And her impact did not stop in the show ring.

Miss Worthy has proven to be an elite producer, delivering excellence with consistency and profitability. In her first transplant calf crop in 2024, two Drivin 80-sired heifers commanded $86,000 and $26,000, with Goettemoeller retaining what many believe was the standout of the group. The success continued in the 2024 calf crop with additional Drivin 80 progeny, two AI sire prospects, a strong pair of Maternal Made daughters, and an End Game daughter—further reinforcing her reputation as a true genetic generator.

This offering provides a rare opportunity to invest in one of the most productive cow families in the breed with an outstanding lineup of mating options. Buyers are first offered embryos sired by TLAC Hits Different 1409L ET, a powerfully constructed sire known for massive center body, big hip, extra hair, and elite presence. His rookie season was nothing short of exceptional, highlighted by daughters selling for $165,000, $127,000, $85,000, $82,500, and numerous others ranging from $10,000 to $65,000.

Alternatively, embryos by Revelation 2K are available—a sire whose influence is unmistakable in both the show ring and the marketplace. His progeny consistently command top-end prices while delivering standout design, exceptional skeletal quality, and undeniable ring presence.

The second choice features embryos sired by Data Bank, a bull that needs no introduction to anyone who stays dialed in to today’s show scene—you’d be hard-pressed to miss his influence. That opportunity is followed by an exciting mating to BOY One 4 All, one of the most impressive purebred Maine-Anjou sires to emerge in recent years. Backed by his legendary dam, 899—the 2020 Maine Show Heifer of the Year for Sullivan Farms—BOY One 4 All is gaining serious momentum, and his early impact has the industry paying close attention.

Show steer options complete this elite offering, beginning with the TH-clean How Great Thou Art son from the renowned “Lil Red” donor of Heckman and RJ Cattle—an eyecatching red-and-white standout built for success. The final mating to Spread the Word has already proven itself as a reliable option for producing uniquely marked, easy-selling calves with strong market appeal and high value.

Staying true to our mission of offering only the very best, we are proud to feature a donor that may not be instantly recognizable by name—but whose influence is unmistakable through the elite cattle she has produced.

Miss Blitz 1208Z is a daughter of one of the most influential Maine-Anjou sires of all time, GOET I-80, and out of the legendary Manchild donor made famous

by Streitmatter of northern Indiana. She has clearly distinguished herself as a donor of rare and proven quality.

Her résumé is headlined by two exceptional daughters sired by BNWZ Data Bank 1311C ET: GDMN Lady May ET, sold for $34,500 to the Alan Miller family and GDMN Miss Gigi ET, sold for $39,000 to the Gensini family. Miss Gigi went on to an outstanding show career. Her success began last winter when she was named Top Five Overall in both rings at the Badger Brawl. That momentum carried into summer, where she was crowned Grand Champion Owned Maine-Anjou Female at the Maine Junior Nationals. She followed with a dominant performance at the Illinois State Fair, where she was named Champion Maine-Anjou Female and ultimately earned Reserve Supreme Champion Overall of the entire show.

Miss Blitz 1208Z’s success does not stop there. In 2023, her daughter by Silveiras Style 9303, GDMN Miss Cinderella 17L ET, commanded $60,000. Cinderella enjoyed a standout show career of her own, highlighted by being selected Third Overall at Purdue AGR, followed by a summer run culminating in Champion Chi honors at the 2024 Indiana State Fair.

Now, you have the opportunity to purchase full-sibling embryos to either of these proven champions as a featured selection in this lot.

Will also have the option to select from matings to either SILK Me Too 5K, an exceptionally sound-structured bull with undeniable presence, ample foot and bone, and outstanding hair, or TLAC Hits Different 1409L ET, whose rookie season was nothing short of remarkable, having sired numerous high-selling progeny across the country. These matings represent the very highest ceiling available and are designed to generate elite, high-impact cattle.

The Maine-Anjou breed is experiencing a resurgence unlike any other, and demand has never been stronger. This lot represents a rare opportunity to produce elite Maine-Anjou and Maintainer cattle at the very highest tier of the breed.

Our good friend Cory Thompsen and his exceptional eye for cattle uncovered a true genetic powerhouse and donor female destined for greatness. In her very first ET calf crop, three offspring entered the sale pens at S/N, topping at $25,500 and averaging north of $15,000. Perhaps the most notable calf, however, was born in the program of fellow master breeder Luke Doris and later found its way into the capable hands of the Short family.

Kelly and Lacy Short, along with their children, are no strangers to the backdrop at the highest levels, with major wins at the Maine-Anjou Junior Nationals, Iowa State Fair, North American International Livestock Exposition, and the National Western—each with different heifers. Over the past eight months, however, one heifer has rewritten the record books. The Bullerman Blackcap 0129 daughter, shown by young stockman Asher Short, had her picture taken at every one of those venues, plus the American Royal.

LDSC Blackcap 486M ET boasts an extraordinary résumé: • 2025 National Junior Heifer Show Division III Champion and Third Overall Maine Angus Heifer • 2025 Iowa State Fair Grand Champion Open Maine Angus Heifer • 2025 American Royal Grand Champion Open Maine Angus Heifer • 2025 American Royal Reserve Grand Champion Junior Maine Angus Heifer • 2025 NAILE Grand Champion Junior and Open Maine Angus Heifer • 2026 National Western Stock Show Grand Champion Junior and Open Maine Angus Heifer • Culminating in Third Overall Supreme Champion honors in the inaugural National Western Supreme Heifer Drive As 486M transitions to the donor pen, her earning potential is already evident. Her first egg packages sold in Oklahoma City at an average of $2,500 per embryo, and that figure merely scratches the surface of her lifetime value. One can only wonder how many acres of ground Asher’s first farm purchase might include.

We sincerely thank Cory and Stacy Thompsen for their continued support of The Collection and look forward to what they bring to future events. This offering includes a package of full-sibling embryos to the Maine Angus Show Heifer of the Year—and quite possibly the decade—sired by JBOY One for All 001J ET. Additionally, embryos by Call My Bluff are offered, a mating that is sure to attract strong interest from both club calf and elite bred heifer producers alike.

Penelope’s show résumé is equally compelling. She is a multiple-time champion whose accolades include Supreme Champion Female at the 2024 Illinois State Fair, Grand Champion Maine-Anjou Female at the 2024 American Royal, Reserve Champion Maine-Anjou Female at the 2024 Maine Junior Nationals, and Reserve Champion Chi Composite at the 2024 North American International Livestock Exposition.

Amid this growth, one female clearly separated herself during the 2023–2024 show season, earning a devoted following and compiling one of the most decorated résumés in recent memory.

Exhibited by the Seys family, this standout daughter of Penny Lane ET and sired by BNWZ Data Bank 1311C ET quickly emerged as a dominant force. From her first appearances, she consistently rose to the top, delivering elite-level performances throughout the season. Her accolades include Calf Champion in both the Open and Junior shows at the 2023 North American International Livestock Exposition; Supreme Champion Heifer in both rings at the 2023 Down 4 The Cause and the 2023 Chillicothe Winter Preview; Reserve Supreme Champion Heifer in both rings at the 2023 Badger Brawl; Reserve Supreme Champion Heifer in both rings at the 2024 Illinois Beef Expo; Supreme Champion Heifer in all three rings at the WIU Change of Pace Jackpot Series; Reserve Champion Owned Maine-Anjou Female at the 2024 AJMAA Junior Nationals; Supreme Champion Female at the 2024 Illinois State Fair; Champion Maine-Anjou Female at the 2024 American Royal; and Reserve Champion Chi Composite Female at the 2024 North American.

Known as Penelope ET, this exceptional female was bred by Chris Wolfe of Davey, Nebraska, and is out of an emerging donor cow with tremendous upside.

•LOT 23A: 1 PACKAGE OF 3 EMBRYOS SIRED BY How Great Thou Art SEXED MALE •LOT 23B: 1 PACKAGE OF 3 EMBRYOS SIRED BY Here I Am SEXED MALE Last year, we introduced the industry to a then relatively unknown donor known as Miss Ohio. Her initial claim to fame was simple yet powerful—she was selected Champion Market Heifer at the Ohio State Fair, instantly turning heads with her extraordinary quality. The intrigue only deepened when it was revealed that she was triple-clean for all genetic defects, a remarkable fact given her exceptional hair, massive bone, and the way she plants herself on big, feet and heavy legs.

Much of the early confidence in Miss Ohio stemmed not only from her phenotype, but from the program standing behind her. Tim Heckman and the team at Reimann Ranch don’t always guess right—but they’re never wrong. That belief was quickly validated when her first embryo calves hit the ground last spring and exceeded even the highest expectations. Despite a limited first crop, high sellers were the norm.

Most notably, a Here I Am son sold through the Boyert Core Sale commanded a top price of $80,500, while his flushmate in the same offering brought $25,000. In addition, the lone Here I Am × Miss Ohio calf in the Reimann Ranch Pasture Sale sold for $30,000—further proof of her consistency and earning power.

Lot A offers embryos sired by the hottest bull in the industry today, How Great Thou Art. Over the past 12 months, his progeny have dominated nearly every major steer show in the country, with a staggering percentage of grand champion drives tracing back to him on the top side. It is not an exaggeration to suggest that this mating carries as much single-sale ROI potential as any offering in The Collection.

Lot B features embryos by Here I Am, resulting in full siblings to the three pictured calves that averaged just under $47,000. This is proven, predictable, and powerful genetics—backed by results.

No doubt he was one of the most talked-about calves of last fall—how many times did you watch that video?

423 has quickly cemented her place as one of the most productive and profitable donor females in the country. In just a few short years, she has generated well over half a million dollars in progeny sales, a figure that is likely to be surpassed as her son by FSF Perfection 812, Perfect Storm, enters production.

Full sib to embryos selling, Sold for $13,500

Perfect Storm was one of the most sought-after and widely praised display bulls in Denver in recent years. Cattlemen commended him for his heavy features, powerful hip, and structural correctness. Full siblings to Perfect Storm include a $36,000 steer, a $58,000 heifer, and three additional calves selling from $12,500 to $25,000.

There is no question that 423 is one of those rare individuals capable of producing elite show steers, AI sires, and high-quality females alike.

We are excited to welcome Brandon Horn and Horn Livestock to The Collection. After several years of conversation, we are thrilled to have Brandon consign for the first time—and he is making his debut in a big way. Quite honestly, this female was originally slated to be a special feature in another event, but when that opportunity did not come together, the door opened for us. Horn is stingy about his very best cows!! With a little persistence—and perhaps being in the right place at the right time—he agreed to make her available. We are fortunate to present this elite female here, and even more fortunate to offer you the opportunity to invest in a cow of this caliber. Opportunities like this do not come often.

Introducing Horn 702, a powerful, triple-clean female and one of the rising stars at Horn Livestock. Her very first calf, sired by the calving-ease bull Yellow Ben, sold for $15,000. Since then, she has consistently produced steers bringing $15,000 to $25,000. Most notably, a full sibling to the Lot A offering—a Standout sired steer currently being shown by Corbin Airhart has earned multiple Breed Champion titles, including at the West Texas State Fair, and is on track for a Texas major this spring.

Brandon considers Horn 702 to be among the very best females in his program not only in making high value show steers but from a breeding perspective also, he has retained two herd bulls by How Great Thou Art, the sire of the Lot B embryos. Bulls named, "Touch of Heaven", the one pictured above is viewed as the next evolution of sires for slick-sheared show steers , while the other Then Sings My Soul" is simply one that to quote Brandon .. ”It don’t matter”.

On the maternal side, Horn 702 is expected to produce elite daughters that will serve as true difference-makers in any breeding program, regardless of mating decisions.

The lot C sired by Back to Good offers up some really exciting opportunities for some special creatures with color that’ll make them easy to sell and a build that will make them hard to beat!

Late last summer, a noticeable buzz swept across the West Coast—not from an earthquake, but from the arrival of a standout In God We Trust steer out of the Webster 191 donor. Exhibited with authority by nine-year-old Erin Avila, this gold-colored ALL AMERICAN BADASS dominated the California Youth Expo and quickly became one of the most talked-about steers of the season.

Judge Parker Henley described him as one of the truly elite steers of the summer, praising his impeccable design, massive rib and pin width, explosive hind leg, clean front end, and effortless movement on a big, well-constructed skeleton. What truly set him apart was his next-level presence— A tucked up chest and tying high out of his shoulder and consistently demanding attention with a “pick me” look.

Sold by Dave Guyer and Blaine Rogers, this calf was identified early as something special. Under the expert care of the Avila family, he delivered when it mattered most, placing the California Youth Expo firmly in the win column for Webster 191.

The success did not stop there. This year another In God We Trust steer from the same mating, shown by the Beare family of South Dakota and exhibited by McQuade, enjoyed a strong Winter campaign, highlighted by a Top Five finish at the Jordan Mack Memorial Show.

Insider information tells me that a very unique set of summers have made their way to Champlin’s in Weatherford Oklahoma for the southwest majors.

Ty Webster is widely recognized as one of the most genuine and hardworking cattlemen in the show cattle industry today. His growing reputation is built on producing elite cattle with presence, power, and structural integrity. We are proud to welcome him and to offer this exciting genetic package from his 161 donor cow.

Lot A offers full-sibling embryos to both the Avila steer from California and the Beare steer from South Dakota.

Lot B presents the opportunity to purchase three-quarter sibling embryos by one of the hottest colored sires in the industry today, Golden Ticket.

Cory Thomsen and family are sharing a truly exciting opportunity in this dynamic young donor—one that combines big shag, extra power, and elite phenotype with a rare and highly desirable credential: she is triple clean. That combination alone places her in a very select category, and at such an early stage of her career, the ceiling on her potential is exceptionally high. The versatility she offers is remarkable, with mating options that open doors across multiple segments of the show cattle industry.

Her first ET calf crop at VanHove’s in Madison immediately validated her generating ability, producing standout calves that commanded $40,000, $20,000, and $11,500. Those results are impressive for any donor, let alone one this young. In addition, one holdover sized from that same crop is currently in Newcastle and is expected to sell for a significant profit within the next week to ten days—further evidence that this female consistently produces cattle the market wants.

The How Great Thou Art–sired embryos offer the opportunity to own full siblings to the high sellers from VanHove’s, representing a proven, repeatable, and highly reliable mating. For those looking to add a different look and market appeal, the Red Elephant embryos bring a unique and exciting twist that is certain to generate demand for red cattle. When implanted later for holdovers, this mating provides tremendous flexibility for the Texas market, whether targeting Shorthorn, slick-shear divisions, or other show opportunities. No matter the direction, these embryos offer multiple paths to success and an outstanding return on investment.

BF WGB Paisley 440—better known as “Pickles”—has amassed major victories and purple banners with remarkable speed and authority. Her career began with a Fourth Overall Bred & Owned Female selection at the Junior Nationals, followed by being named Reserve Grand Champion Charolais Female and Reserve Champion Bred & Owned at the Illinois State Fair as a fall calf.

She continued her dominance on the tanbark in Louisville at the North American Livestock Exposition, where she was selected Grand Champion Charolais Female at the 2025 ROE Show and emerged as a true crowd favorite. Paisley carried that momentum into January 2026 at the National Western Stock Show, earning Grand Champion Charolais Female in the Junior Show and Reserve Grand Champion Charolais Female in the Open Show. Those wins advanced her to the rodeo arena, where she was selected Fifth Overall under the bright lights and before more than 8,000 fans.

The Berkley name is no stranger to the backdrop at major Charolais events, and no one has been a stronger advocate for Berkley cattle than Will Blankers. The donor dam, WGB CC CLT Berkley 240, was a champion in her own right—selected Grand Champion Charolais Heifer at the 2024 Illinois State Fair, 4th overall Supreme, Reserve Grand Champion Bred & Owned Female, and Third Overall in the Supreme “Land of Lincoln” Drive.

She became a cornerstone donor for the Grand Hills, Effling, and Thomas Ranch programs and is the dam of WIA Backwater Jack 060P, the 52nd National Champion Charolais Bull.

Backwater Jack has made a significant impact across the breed for Wild Indian Acres and Wrights Charolais.

Their success in the show heifer market further validates the quality of this sire group. Notable sons of Backwater Jack include WC Captain Jack 2274P, WC Uno Mas 2587P, and WC Cracker Jack 4363P. Equally important from this cow family is Ms Helen 0704H ET, a National Western Stock Show Grand Champion Charolais Female admired for her real-world phenotype, genuine power, structural integrity, and exceptional look.

Also stemming from this lineage is the celebrated CAG Bubbles 9950G, who earned Fifth Overall Owned Female honors at the 2020 Junior National, Reserve Grand Champion Female at the 2020 American Royal, and Supreme Champion Female Overall Breeds at the South Dakota Summer Spotlight. Bubbles continues to solidify her influence in the breed, most recently with her son, CAG BOY Narco 5646N, selling for $47,500 for a half interest at the National Charolais Sale during the National Western.

Dominatrix 236 is best known as the dam of the legendary BBR Memphis Mafia, whose semen continues to command $2,500 to $3,000 per unit today. Her influence on the Maine-Anjou breed is undeniable, and her production record places her among the most impactful donor cows of her generation.

This lot features a powerful full-sibling mating sired by Weis All Me to the Miller family’s 2022–2023 Maine-Anjou Show Heifer of the Year. That female was a multiple-time champion, highlighted by Grand Champion Maine-Anjou Female honors at the 2022 North American International Livestock Exposition and the 2023 Cattlemen’s Congress.

Dominatrix 236 has also produced another standout female sired by Duel Icon that captured Grand Champion Maintainer Female titles in both the Junior and Open shows at the American Royal and Cattlemen’s Congress, and later earned Third Overall honors at the Maine Junior Nationals for Turner Longacre.

Her consistency in the marketplace is equally impressive, with past offspring commanding prices of $60,000, $42,000, $30,000, $30,000, and $20,000. In addition, she is the dam of the widely used and popular sire Mafia Max at Matt Lautner Cattle.

The first mating offered gives buyers the opportunity to purchase full siblings to the Miller family’s current show heifer. The second B package allows you to align directly with one of the industry’s proven greats in BMWZ Data Bank 1311.

This is a rare opportunity to invest in a donor whose legacy continues to define champions, command premiums, and shape the future of the breed.

Momentum only continued to build in 2024, when another Memphis Mafia daughter brought $125,000. That same year, two daughters by All Me sold for $52,000 and $33,500, with an additional All Me daughter bringing $16,500. A Memphis Mafia daughter from that crop sold for $18,000, and a New Decade daughter followed at $15,000.

Beyond the sale ring, Wilson 300 progeny continue to shine under the lights.

O36 is a daughter of SAV Final Answer and out of the 8608 NMR Maternal made Donor from Ward Eckloff, a powerful cow family that has repeatedly proven its ability to generate elite, high-performing cattle.

Still very young in her production career, O36 has already made a significant mark. Her first calf, a modestly named but anything-but-ordinary heifer, SIMN 213K, was placed in the capable hands of Brenna Wilkins and went on to assemble an exceptional show résumé.

Her run began at the Maine Junior Nationals, where she was selected Third Overall Maintainer Heifer. She followed that performance with another Third Overall finish at the Iowa State Fair, then continued her success at the green chips, where she earned Reserve Grand Champion Junior Maintainer Female. Her show career culminated in the most prestigious victory of all—being named Grand Champion Maintainer Female at the 2024 Cattlemen’s Congress.

It is worth emphasizing that SIMN 213K, sired by May We All, was O36’s very first calf—an extraordinary accomplishment that speaks volumes about the donor’s genetic potential and future upside.

At the Collection, we are excited to offer a package of All Me sexed female embryos from O36, providing a rare opportunity to raise your own national-caliber Maintainer female from a donor whose best years are clearly still ahead.

Finally, if you ever find yourself in California, we highly recommend taking the time to visit Jay Newton’s cow herd. If the cattle don’t win you over, we’re confident his partner, Farris Simons, will by treating you to a true five-star dining experience right at the ranch.

When the final drive concluded, the dust settled, and the emotionfilled moments passed, it was young Miss Piper Unger and her exceptional Baldy steer who emerged with Reserve Grand Champion honors.

This remarkable steer commanded attention with his massive top, wide pin set, high-tying neck, and striking Baldy face. He earned a strong following in the barns and stood out as a one of the crowd favorites throughout the week.

Bred by Bob and Brock May of Mineral Point, Wisconsin—long recognized as marketers of some of the elite show steers of the past 30 years—this steer carries the May family’s unmistakable stamp of quality. but he was bred within their program He is out of a young donor bred by Shea Geffert and sired by County O, a bull promoted by May and Griswold just a few short years ago, and from a Broker/ Raptor cow.

The Reserve Grand Champion at the Indiana State Fair was not her only standout—his two flushmates also found success in the show ring, earning multiple wins throughout the season.

Her progeny list reads like a highlight reel of high-dollar success, with offspring selling for $80,000, $40,037, $28,000, $25,000, $16,000, and $12,500. If every cow in your program could boast numbers like that, life would be pretty easy.

While she is widely known for producing elite, sale-topping show steers, Donor 53’s influence does not stop there. She has also produced bulls that are quickly gaining traction with progressive cattlemen across the country. Her NMR Maternal Maid son, Simon Says, has earned a spot in the G Bar Griswold Cattle Company AI sire lineup, and her son by Superman, Man of Steel, has generated serious interest from breeders eager to get on board early.

Her cattle do more than sell—they feed, perform, and win. In 2023, the Supreme Champion Market Animal at the Winter Classic was a Donor 53 steer sired by Here I Am. That same year, the California Youth Ag Expo Reserve Grand Champion Steer was also out of Donor 53 and sired by Here I Am, further validating the consistency and reliability of this donor’s production.

Lot A offers embryos sired by How Great Thou Art, producing full siblings to many of the standout cattle pictured.

If making truly elite show steers is your game, this is the kind of cow you build around. Saddle up and spur that pony—Donor 53 is ready to pay off.

Cherry is sired by MR HOC Broker, one of the most influential modern sires in the Simmental breed—renowned not only for producing champions, but for generating females that go on to make champions. Broker stands as one of the most celebrated breeding bulls for phenotype, production consistency, and marketability, and as a Triple Crown Champion himself, his dominance in creating elite show heifers at every level of competition is unmatched.

On the maternal side, Cherry traces to the Maine-Anjou breed great BPF Miley 80T, a cow whose impact is firmly etched into breed history. As the dam of the influential sire GOET I-80, along with several other notable sons, Miley’s influence extends deep into both the club calf and show cattle industries.

Cherry was an exceptional show heifer and has matured into an even more impressive donor. She is a moderate-framed, dense-bodied female with tremendous rib shape, softness, and volume, while maintaining balance, square build, and structural integrity. Bold, stout, and correct, she exemplifies the kind of cow that works across breeding directions.

A proven and reliable donor, Cherry has stood the test of time. Like fine wine, she continues to improve with age, consistently producing large numbers of high-quality show calves that regularly sell in the $10,00 to $20,000 range.

Buyers are first offered a choice of embryos sired by TLAC Hits Different 1409L ET—an exciting, powerfully constructed sire with massive center body, big hip, extra hair, and an elite look. His rookie season was exceptional, with daughters selling for $165,000, $127,000, $85,000, $82,500, and numerous others ranging from $10,000 to $65,000. Alternatively, embryos by Revelation 2K are available, a sire whose influence is clearly reflected in both the show ring and the marketplace. His progeny command elite prices and consistently display standout design, exceptional skeletal quality, and undeniable presence.

Shifting gears to the club calf side, The Collection also offers sexed male embryo packages by Here I Am, How Great Thou Art, and Chasing Greatness. This is a rare opportunity to make a strategic investment that can shape the future of an entire program—not only from a financial perspective, but also in terms of brand recognition and marketing impact. Often, a single well-timed decision creates lasting momentum, and this offering has all the makings of one of those defining moments for the successful buyer.

Our commitment each year is simple: identify and offer only elite, proven cattle. That pursuit led us to Cody Filges of Pennsylvania, breeder of the Illinois State Fair Grand Champion Steer.

On a scorching August day, with temperatures pushing into the high 90s, Kadie Hummel navigated her How Great Thou Art–sired steer, bred by Filges, to Grand Champion honors at the Illinois State Fair—arguably one of the most competitive state fairs in the country.

That champion traces back to the powerful donor Filges 86, a cow that continues to establish herself as a true cornerstone donor. Filges 86 also produced another How Great Thou Art steer successfully campaigned by Briley Ashcroft, who fought his way to a Fourth Overall finish at the VCCP Grand Champion Steer show at the Henry County Preview and later claimed Champion honors at the ultra-competitive Athens Fair in Ohio.

The 86 donor is a daughter of JSUL Night Moves and stems from a Griswold Cattle Company Cerveza x Doctor Who daughter. A deeper look at her pedigree reveals many of the breed’s most influential club calf sires, including Heat Wave, Monopoly, Irish Whiskey, Who Made Who, and Who Da Man. With that kind of genetic foundation, her consistency and predictability come as no surprise.

This offering includes a package of How Great Thou Art–sired embryos out of the 86 donor, a mating whose resulting calves have won a state fair and averaged just over $14,000. In addition, buyers will have the opportunity to purchase embryos from the first mating of this donor to the exciting and highly anticipated New World Order.

Raise your hand here—it’s a brave New World.

Despite her youth, Shortcake is rapidly establishing herself as a donor with enormous upside and long-term relevance across the club calf, composite, and Shorthorn-influenced arenas.

•LOT 41: 1 PACKAGE OF 4 EMBRYOS SIRED BY MFS Dream Weaver 37K SEXED FEMALE MFS Knighted Pinky the Roo 2142 stands as one of the most cherished and impactful donors in the Greenhorn program. This extraordinary female enjoyed an unforgettable and highly decorated show career under the guidance of Kolten Greenhorn, highlighted by her remarkable sweep of the 2023 National Western Stock Show, where she was crowned Grand Champion Shorthorn Female in both the Junior and Open Shows—an achievement reserved for truly elite individuals. Further underscoring the strength of this cow family, her full sister, GCC Diva The Roo, captured those same prestigious titles at the National Western Stock Show the following year, cementing the Roo influence as a dominant force within the breed.

Beyond Denver, MFS Knighted Pinky the Roo 2142 continued to build an impressive résumé. She was named 5th Overall Female at the National Junior Heifer Show and added a Grand Champion Shorthorn Female banner at the Ohio State Fair, consistently standing at the top among the most competitive lineups in the country. Her combination of quality, balance, and breed character made her a fan favorite wherever she competed and firmly established her as a cornerstone female within the Greenhorn operation.

That excellence has translated seamlessly into production. The first two ET calves out of MFS Knighted Pinky the Roo 2142 averaged an impressive $32,000 through the 2024 Greenhorn Fall Production Sale, immediately validating her value as a donor. Headlining that group was GCC Evolving Pinky the Roo 42 ET, a $50,000 highlight who went on to be named Reserve Grand Champion Bred & Owned Female at the 2025 National Junior Heifer Show for Kolten Greenhorn and Legacy Ranch. With such a powerful start to her producing career, MFS Knighted Pinky the Roo 2142 is clearly positioned to leave a legacy and continue shaping the future of elite Shorthorn genetics.

This mating is to one of the fastest-rising sires in the Shorthorn breed, MFS Dream Weaver 37K, a bull rapidly stacking both banners and dollars at an elite pace. From his very first calf crop, he has already proven his ability to generate breed-leading females, including MFS Dreaming Lucy 45M ET, the 2025 National Junior Shorthorn Show Grand Champion Owned Heifer, and SULL LGF Ruby’s Dreamy 4602M ET, the Fifth Overall Owned Heifer.

“Where great females make the difference” has never been just a sale slogan for Greenhorn—it is the guiding philosophy behind their program.

This maternal line traces directly back to the legendary S S Revival, a name synonymous with breed-defining excellence.

Just one week prior to The 2024 Collection Sale, a Copacetic × 1D daughter, R2C Bailey 314, surfaced and immediately commanded attention across the Midwest. She rose above elite competition to be named Grand Champion Female for Cal Pryor at one of the toughest winter expos in the country. That momentum carried into the summer of 2024, where she was selected Reserve Grand Champion Female at the American Junior Simmental Association National Classic.

Another standout from this cow family, TRCC Pridette 505N—raised from a purchased embryo by Tresslar Cattle and shown by Glenys McGurk—has been on a dominant run. She captured the Early Spring Calf Division at both the 2025 North American International Livestock Exposition and the 2026 Cattlemen’s Congress, and most recently earned Reserve Division honors at the 2026 National Western Stock Show.

Bailey’s Pridette 1D boasts a pedigree stacked with modern greats, being sired by the influential Mr. TR Hammer 308A and out of a HOC Broker daughter. She’s no one hit wonder - A Bankroll daughter was named Reserve Grand Champion at the American Royal and now resides in the donor pen at Rosebud. This past fall, 1D produced a $78,000 daughter by Rose Apex.

Demand for this cow family continues to soar. In the fall of 2024, another Bankroll daughter sold for $180,000 in the Holtkamp pasture sale, and in the fall of 2025, Jamie Campbell made a $70,000-plus investment in a Copacetic × 1D female.

This package sired by Revelation 2K, one of the hottest young Simmental sires the industry has seen. His ability to sire purebred cattle with exceptional quality, eye appeal, and substance sets him apart and makes this mating especially compelling.

Opportunities like this are rare. Only at The Collection can you secure embryos from this elite donor line and invest in genetics that continue to dominate both the show ring and the marketplace.

The legacy Boots left behind is nothing short of extraordinary. While many believed her dominance in the show ring and production would continue indefinitely, her untimely loss only further cemented the significance of her limited and remarkable influence.

Despite a short production window, Boots compiled an elite production record. Her impact is deeply woven into the Simmental division at Griswold Cattle, with numerous high sellers, national champions, and program-defining individuals tracing back to her dam, JS Flirt Away 59Y—one of the most influential females in the breed.

The resulting calves from this offering will join an impressive list of maternal sisters that have commanded sale prices of $137,500, $100,000, $75,000, $33,000, $28,000, $25,000, and $22,000. These females have gone on to become cornerstone donors in some of the nation’s most dominant Simmental and show heifer programs.

Vanna will be remembered for a very long time. She was a truly next-level show female before that term was ever commonplace. Her elegance and presence were unmatched, and she dominated nearly every venue she entered, highlighted by her signature victory as Supreme Champion Female at the Illinois State Fair.

Now firmly established in her most productive years, Vanna has already made a lasting impact as a donor. She is the dam of one of the most exciting young sires in the Simmental breed, Holtkamp CLAC Change Is Coming.

In his first calf crop, Change Is Coming sired the Supreme Champion Female at the Nebraska State Fair and the Reserve Grand Champion Percentage Female at the Junior National. His influence in the marketplace has been equally impressive, highlighted by a $200,000 high seller at the Divas and Donors Event.

Further validating this cow family’s consistency, the second high-selling female of the 2024 Holtkamp Fall Sale—a red JSUL Something About Mary 8421 × Vanna—sold for $80,000 to Dillon Brock and was later resold for $150,000.

She comes to town with bold, fresh mating options, headlined by Lot A to the red-hot Bet on Red. Momentum is at an all-time high following his sons, Roxi’s Bet It All 628N and Roxi’s Redefined 2007N, absolutely rocking the industry with a record-shattering $620,000 half-interest sale—placing a staggering $1.24 million valuation on the pair. If there’s ever been a better time to lean into elite genetics, this is it.

An elite sire by any standard, Revelation 2K accomplished the extraordinary in his rookie season by fathering both the Supreme Champion Junior and Supreme Champion Open Breeding Heifers at the 2025 American Royal, highlighted by the remarkable JMSC Revlon 408M. Beyond the banners, Revelation 2K’s influence is clearly reflected in the marketplace. His progeny have commanded elite prices, and he consistently stamps his calves with standout design, exceptional skeletal integrity, and an undeniable ring presence that sets them apart from the competition.

Her credentials were firmly established when she was named the 2022 Grand Champion Junior Simmental Female at the North American International Livestock Exposition, signaling early on that she was a female of rare quality and breed-defining potential.

Since entering production, Annie has exceeded even the highest expectations. She has consistently generated high-end progeny that capture the attention of leading cattlemen and command top-tier valuations. That reputation was underscored in September 2024, when her SO Remedy 7F daughter drew widespread admiration across the Midwest and ultimately sold for $81,000 for a 50 percent interest. Annie followed that performance in 2025 with an All Me daughter that raised the bar yet again, selling for $91,000 for half interest and further solidifying Annie’s status as a donor that simply works—time and time again.

On the 19th, buyers will have the opportunity to purchase full and maternal sibling embryos to these exceptional females, providing direct access to the same proven genetic combination responsible for Annie’s success in both the show ring and the marketplace.

Annie’s accomplishments are no coincidence. Her pedigree is built on power, consistency, and predictability, tracing back to her dam, a maternal sister to the legendary “Boots”—the immortal Triple Crown–winning female from Griswold Cattle. Widely regarded as one of the most influential and dominant females of her era prior to her untimely passing, “Boots” established a genetic foundation that continues to deliver at the highest level. This offering represents a rare opportunity to invest in a donor supported by elite lineage, championship credentials, and undeniable, bankable production.

If one were to carve a Mount Rushmore of show cattle donor cows, Hairietta would undoubtedly be included. WAG Hairietta burst onto the scene more than 25 years ago, initially gaining attention through several standout sons. However, it is her daughters that have made the most lasting and influential impact— and that legacy continues today through her clone, showing no signs of slowing down.

The Broker × Hairietta mating has become legendary. Countless offspring have sold for five figures, highlighted by the record-setting Princess 100Z, who commanded $190,000 and achieved success on the national stage. Additional Broker × Hairietta daughters have produced numerous national champions, including Hara’s Princess 12D, shown by the Skiles family, and Hara’s SULL Princess 03 7503E, shown by Colton Greenhorn, who was named Grand Champion Percentage Simmental at NAILE. Another standout Broker × Hairietta daughter, Hara’s Kim Kardashian 1C—also known as “Lady Killer”—went on to produce Trust Fund, the $270,000 threequarter-interest bull, along with daughters selling for $175,000 and $110,000. Her embryos have commanded $30,000 each in Denver.

Hairietta’s influence extends to the next generation as well. Her granddaughter, Hara’s Miss Heartbreaker 422, is widely recognized within the show cattle industry and is represented in The Collection as the previous lot. Further solidifying this cow family’s versatility, Broker × Hairietta daughters are now proving themselves as elite club calf producers, including the dam of the 2024 Illinois State Fair Grand Champion Steer.

In our continued search for the next generation of elite donor females, we are excited to present 2G Demi 47F SOL ET. Bred by the Double G Shorthorn program and stemming from the renowned WHR Razor program of Texas, Demi is a daughter of WHR JAZ Demi Delight T2R 58, a past National Western Stock Show Champion. Her maternal line traces to the legendary CF Solution X ET, a breed-defining sire whose influence is found behind countless championship females and donor cows, as well as industry-leading sires such as SULL Asset, SULL Beef, SULL Grey Goose, SULL Stockman, and the iconic SULL Red Knight.

Demi herself is a powerfully constructed, bold-bodied female with tremendous hip, width of pin, and body mass. Her striking red-neck roan look is matched by her proven ability as a producer. That production promise became reality with her 2025 daughter by Current Commodity, “Demi’s Commodity,” one of the most popular and high-selling females in the 2025 Greenhorn “Where Females Make the Difference” Production Sale.

The first offering provides buyers the choice of sexed female embryos sired by either SULL Red Knight—one of the most influential sires of national champions and high sellers in the Shorthorn breed—or SULL RGLC The GOAT, whose elite front-end design and bold center body position this mating to generate something truly special.

Lot B features non-sexed embryos sired by FSF Perfection 812. Whether the result is a top-end show heifer and future donor or an elite male with the potential to excel as a show steer or promotional sire, demand for cattle from this mating will be strong, with significant upside and return-on-investment potential.

The Shorthorn breed is surging once again, rekindling the excitement and prominence of its glory years. Demand for elite red, white, and roan cattle has reached a level not seen in recent memory, and donors like Demi are leading the charge. Now is your chance to be part of the movement shaping the future of the show cattle business.

or TLAC Hits Different SEXED FEMALE

We search relentlessly for the next generation of truly elite donors, and take note—UDE Phyllis 0223 is one you are hearing about early. She is poised to become one of the most influential females to surface in recent years. A Reserve Supreme Champion at the 2021 Indiana State Fair, 0223 combines elite phenotype with one of the most powerful maternal lineages the Angus breed has ever known.

UDE Phyllis 0223 is a direct daughter of the legendary FCF Phyllis 532, an alumna of the very first Collection event and a cow who has firmly cemented her legacy as one of the most dominant producing females in Angus history. A stunning daughter of SCC FirstN-Goal GAF 114 and owned by Adcock Land & Livestock, Udell’s, and Four Corner Farms, FCF Phyllis 532 has redefined what elite production looks like. From 22 daughters, she averaged an astounding $43,250—and notably, UDE Phyllis 0223 was secured with the keen eye of Troy Reiboldt as one of the more modestly priced selections from that remarkable group.

As a daughter of 532, 0223 is a maternal sister to UDE New Heights 62/87, the $280,000 sensation whose impact has been undeniable. The first 14 daughters by New Heights sold at Udell’s averaged an incredible $67,092, highlighted by sales of $500,000, $207,000, $201,500, $111,000, $91,500, and $109,000. His influence has reshaped expectations for young Angus sires.

The depth of this family is unmatched. Sisters include UDE Phyllis 4019, the $300,000 selection and 5th Overall Breeding Heifer at the 2024 Hoosier Beef Congress for Mercedes Ferree; UDE Phyllis 4011, Supreme Champion Heifer (Ring A) and Reserve Supreme Champion Heifer (Ring B) at the 2024 Down 4 The Cause for Kaitlyn Berg; UDE Phyllis 9129, the $115,000 Campbell and Paulsen selection; and B C R Phyllis 092J, the $140,000 Josie Phillips purchase who went on to be named Grand Champion Owned Female at the 2022 National Junior Angus Show and the 2023 FWSS ROV Grand Champion Angus Heifer.

Now, let’s talk about what UDE Phyllis 0223 is doing—and what lies ahead. She first caught our attention in 2024 when Sloan Curtin exhibited a KR Casino daughter from limited outings that consistently made The Pulse wherever she appeared. Since then, 0223 has continued to build momentum. A Silveiras Style daughter and a PVF Blacklist 7077 daughter both won their classes at the North American International Livestock Exposition. One of those Style daughters, REIB Phyllis, went north of the border and was named Champion Junior Yearling at the Royal Winter Fair for Jackson Corner. Another standout, REIB Phyllis 505, a Blacklist daughter, captured her division at NAILE. The female we believe elevates 0223 to the next level is REIB Phyllis 512, the dominant Division IV Yearling Champion at the2026 Cattlemens Congress campaigned by Carlee Clark. This is an elite individual—razor-sharp up front, loaded with power and presence, and backed by flawless structure. Clarks partnered with the proven eye of Tim Schaeffer, this combination has all the ingredients of a big-time winner. Barring injury, we fully expect this heifer to be in serious contention for Supreme honors from OYE next month though Cattlemen’s Congress next January.

Lot A offers embryos sired by PVF Blacklist 7077, resulting in full siblings to the Clark heifer and three-quarter sisters to the $140,000 B C R Phyllis 092J, the 2022 National Junior Angus Show Grand Champion Owned Female.

Additional mating options include the Choice of Revelation 2K, one of the hottest young Simmental sires in the industry today, renowned for stamping his progeny with elite quality, eye appeal, and substance. Or available is mating by t TLAC Hits Different 1409L ET, the $150,000 half-interest Maine-Anjou bull whose rookie season has been nothing short of spectacular.

The reach, consistency, and adaptability of cattle descending from the legendary FCF Phyllis 532 are truly remarkable. This offering provides rare access to a proven branch of that influential cow family—rooted in powerful, time-tested genetics that have delivered success across multiple generations. Few maternal lines in the industry carry this level of distinction and reliability. Step forward with confidence and invest in a genetic foundation built to last—this is the kind of decision that pays dividends for years to come.

Do you start with the nearly three-quarters of a million dollars in progeny sales, or with the long list of champions she has produced across the country? Either way, Cardi B has firmly established herself as one of the most influential and profitable donors of her generation.

Most recently, attention has centered on her SCC SCH 24 Karat 838 daughter, who commanded $88,000 for a 50 percent interest in the fall online sale. Now being successfully campaigned by Mercedes Ferree, this standout female has already earned a Reserve Division Championship at the North American Livestock Exposition ROV Angus Show and finished Third Overall at the Hoosier Beef Congress, further validating Cardi B’s ability to produce elite, nationally competitive progeny.

Her Maine-Angus matings are equally impressive and continue to generate banner winners by multiple sires. Daughters by End Game, All Me, and Drivin 80 have all found their way to the backdrop, making it nearly impossible to single out a “best” from the group. One notable example is CAMPBELLCO Hennessy, a Drivin 80 × Cardi B daughter who was named Champion Maine-Angus Female at the Ohio State Fair and stood in the backdrop an incredible 11 times as a Top 5 Overall during the 2023–2024 show season.

The All Me × Cardi B mating has been particularly consistent. CAMPBELLCO Queen 2401M sold for $46,500 for half interest, enjoyed a successful jackpot run, and capped her season as Reserve Grand Champion Maine-Angus Female at the AJMAA Junior Nationals. That success was repeated again the following year, as another All Me daughter sold for $47,000 and is now being campaigned by the Segrest family, already earning multiple backdrop appearances on the jackpot circuit.

In 2024, some of Cardi B’s most significant wins came through a percentage Simmental CAMPBELLCO Queen 16K, by SO REMEDY 7F who was named Reserve Grand Champion Percentage Female at both Cattlemen’s Congress and the National Western Stock Show for Ty Collum. Additional daughters have continued to shine, including CAMPBELLCO Queen 28H, Reserve Grand Champion at the Heart of Illinois and Fourth Overall at the Illinois Beef Expo, and CAMPBELLCO Queen 40J, Reserve Champion Percentage Heifer at the Illinois State Fair. Other Cardi B daughters have claimed Grand Champion Overall honors at the highly competitive Oklahoma AGR Show and swept both rings at the Cupid Classic in Ohio.

To date, Cardi B daughters have sold for $88,000, $61,000, $47,500, $46,000, $45,000, $38,000, $23,500, $17,500, and $16,000, underscoring both her consistency and her earning power. This is a donor that delivers—generation after generation. Pay attention, do the math, and be ready when the auctioneer drops the hammer.

From the renowned SIS S Sandy cow family, this powerful daughter of Colburn Primo 5153 is quickly establishing herself as a donor that flat works. Her consistency and quality show up generation after generation, especially when paired with the right sires.

Her mating to Dignity has been particularly successful, yielding high sellers and females capable of competing at the national level. Last winter and spring, David Smith campaigned a daughter from this cross to multiple backdrop appearances, including Division Champion honors at both the National Western Stock Show and the Fort Worth Stock Show. She capped off an impressive run by being named ROV Intermediate Show Heifer of the Year. That same embryo mating also produced Valley Beef Boo Bash, the Reserve Supreme Heifer, further validating the potency of this genetic combination.

This past fall marked a breakout embryo crop for Sandy 0588 at Colburn’s, with several standout calves generating strong interest and momentum. With a proven pedigree, elite production record, and the ability to generate both winners and value, Colburn Sandy 0588 continues to build a résumé that demands attention.

A truly elite female headlines this offering in TRNF Princess E 307—widely regarded as one of the most influential show heifers of the past decade. She commanded attention every time she stepped onto the tanbark, earning admiration from Angus enthusiasts and cattlemen nationwide.

Her résumé is nothing short of exceptional. In 2018, she was selected Reserve Grand Champion at the Atlantic National before going on to be named Supreme Champion Angus Female at the All American Futurity. She followed those wins with dominant performances at both Fort Worth and Denver, capturing Grand Champion honors at each event. Her incredible run culminated in being named ROV Show Heifer of the Year.

Princess E 307’s striking phenotype, balance, and presence made her unforgettable in the show ring, and her influence has only grown since entering the donor pen. Her daughters by KR Casino have sold for $21,000 and $17,000, while her 24 Karat matings have produced females commanding $22,500 and $10,000. Most notably, her mating to Dignity generated a $65,000 female sold to Sara Sullivan, along with another standout that sold for $22,500 to Bryson Jones.

This lot presents a rare opportunity to tie into elite, proven show-ring genetics from a powerful, First Class donor. Offered here are embryos sired by 24 Karat (sexed female) and KR Casino (unsexed), giving buyers access to some of the most sought-after Angus genetics in the business.

This year we offer not only club calf genetics but a purebred matting that is sure to be among the most promising to be offered.

In 2023, Annie cemented her legacy by contributing to one of the most memorable seasons in program history—Goettmoeller bred steers that captured Grand Champion honors at both the Illinois State Fair for the Ellerbrock family and the Wisconsin State Fair for the Crisp family was a Here I Am x GOET Annie. Winning two Midwest state fairs in the same year is a rare accomplishment, and Annie stands at the center of that achievement.

Demand for Drivin 80 semen has surged over the past year, and Annie exemplifies why—she consistently produces big-featured, sound-structured, and exceptionally hairy cattle that simply work. While the How Great Thou Art mating has yet to fully reveal its potential on Annie, we believe it has every opportunity to add another chapter to her already impressive résumé.

Horn 650 has been utilized extensively within the Horn program, with more than 50 embryo calves born since last fall alone. That level of use is driven by her consistency, elite quality, structural integrity, and proven marketability.

Her highest selling calf to date was a $75,000 yellow Business Done Right steer that unfortunately suffered an injury, preventing a run at the Texas majors.

Even so, Horn 650 continues to deliver steers that routinely trade in the $10,000 to $20,000 range, with upside beyond that level.

Equally impressive is her influence on the female side. In Brandon Horn’s recent bull and future donor sale, two daughters by 650 sold for $10,000 and $15,000, respectively. The majority of her progeny exhibit desirable silver or white color patterns, adding to their appeal.

Brandon Horn best describes daughters from 650 as true “difference-makers” in his program. Horn 650 carries both the TH and DS genes, making this mating to King of Kings an ideal genetic fit and placing buyers in the driver’s seat to produce powerful, high-demand yellow cattle

This mating is no fluke. The cow has already proven her compatibility with In God We Trust, producing multiple full siblings that have commanded strong fivefigure prices.

8608 is a living example of why the Maternal Made influence continues to dominate the club calf world. This is the kind of cow that demands attention—and rewards it. Study her picture. Take in the mass and center body. Note the immense proportions that consistently translate into steer-making power. Yet for all that substance, she remains incredibly sound and athletic, with heavy bone, a correct shoulder, and a high, clean tie-in at the top of it in to her neck. She is long-fronted, clean-chested, and still maintains a bold, powerful look that separates elite donor cows from the rest of the field.

Originating from the Ward–Eckloff program, this female is rapidly establishing herself as one of the true powerhouse donors on the West Coast. In her first four male calves alone, she averaged $20,000—an early indicator of both market demand and consistency.

Even more impressive, her calves don’t just sell—they feed and win. Among her early standouts: •A How Great Thou Art calf that won both rings at the 2025 Minnesota B Fall Classic •Another How Great Thou Art x 8608 that captured the TJMA Show in Texas this fall •Yet another How Great Thou Art x 8608 that went on to be named Grand Champion at the Heart of Texas This is production with purpose and repeatability.

This offering gives you two proven mating options. Choose embryos sired by How Great Thou Art, producing full siblings to many of the winners pictured, or select the Here I Am mating—a sire known for generating both high sellers and banner winners with remarkable consistency.

If you’re serious about building elite show steers backed by real-world results, this donor gives you the look, the pedigree, and the proof.

The legacy of the legendary Jalynn Rose cow family continues to gain momentum through this exciting young donor in the Campbellco program. Despite being early in her production career, she has already established an impressive success rate, with only a handful of calves on the ground and multiple standout performers to her credit. Few young donors make this kind of impact so quickly, and it speaks volumes about the depth and reliability of this cow family.

One of her very first calves, sired by Primo, made an immediate statement by capturing Reserve Grand Champion Female honors at the West Virginia State Fair—an accomplishment that underscores both quality and competitive relevance. Another maternal sibling to the embryos offered, this one sired by Dignity, is currently enjoying success on the show circuit with the Lucy family, further validating the consistency of this donor across multiple sire lines.

Adding even more credibility to her résumé, a maternal sibling to the embryos selling has earned a place in Wade Rodgers’ replacement pen—a destination reserved only for cattle that meet the highest standards of structural integrity, look, and long-term breeding value. Collectively, these early results make it clear that this young donor is not only carrying on the Jalynn Rose legacy, but is well on her way to establishing one of her own.

Just as important as the cattle themselves is the program’s commitment to customer service, honesty, and integrity—qualities that have sustained their success. Beyond producing cattle with exceptional look and genetic value, Brandon’s focus on structural correctness, skeletal integrity, soundness, and longevity is second to none.

This elite red donor has seen limited production to date but is already on a fast track toward becoming a cornerstone of the next generation of colored show steers.

A multi-breed genetic event like The Collection would not be complete without an offering from the legendary JSUL Red Thunder 9051W cow family—one of the most influential maternal lines in the industry today. JSUL Red Thunder 9051W stands among the most dominant producing females of all time, with over $1 million in progeny sales and a championship résumé that continues to grow year after year through elite high sellers and banner winners.

Her influence is evident across multiple generations. UDE Stylin’ Thunder 22J ET commanded $80,000 and was campaigned by the Gensini family of Illinois, earning 3rd Overall Prospect Heifer at the 2022 National Western Stock Show and 5th Overall Female at the 2022 Illinois State Fair. That same mating also produced UDE Black Thunder 5H, a $50,000 sale feature whose Chosen One–sired daughter later sold for $101,500.

Spencer Goettemoeller further showcased the power of this cow family with Miss Worthy 1H ET, a dominant Silveiras Style 9303 x JSUL Red Thunder 9051W daughter. Her show career included 2020 NAILE Division I Champion, 2021 Indiana State Fair Grand Champion Chianina and 3rd Overall Junior Breeding Heifer, and 2021 American Royal Reserve Grand Champion Chianina Heifer. Most impressively, she defended her National Junior Heifer Show Grand Champion Chianina title in back-to-back years—first as a bred heifer in 2021, then as a cow-calf pair in 2022— Additional highlights from this modern show cow dynasty include: UDE Stylin’ 28F, 2019 National Western Stock Show Grand Champion Prospect Heifer UDE Kate Spade 59D ET, $45,000, 2017 NWSS Grand Champion Prospect Heifer UDE Stylish Lady 9D ET, $90,000, Supreme Female at the 2017 Fort Worth Stock Show and Reserve Chianina & Supreme Female at the 2017 Ohio State Fair And these are only a few examples—there are numerous others with equally impressive stories, making this one of the most dominant show cow families of the modern era.

Offered here is UDE Fergie 89F, a powerful daughter of Colburn’s Primo 5153. Fergie was a highly decorated show heifer for Sammi Scharg of South Dakota, highlighted by her Supreme Champion Female title at the Jordan Mack Memorial. Beyond the show ring, she has already proven her earning potential.

Preston Smith of Indiana capitalized on her genetics by selling two In God We Trust–sired sons to Caldwell Cattle of Illinois that later averaged $15,500, while Prescott Show Cattle of Indiana raised another son that sold for $15,000.

This offering represents proven production, elite maternal strength, and a legacy that continues to shape the show cattle industry.

Full sib to embryos selling $56,500 FSF Perfection x 434P

•LOT 64: 1 PACKAGE OF 3 EMBRYOS SIRED BY FSF Perfection 812 SEXED FEMALE For more than 16 years, she stood the test of time. Until this past fall when she went to greener pastures, she was still generating at the highest level. There is no debate—SULL Lady Crystal 434P (clone) ranks among the most proven, productive, and versatile females the Shorthorn breed has ever seen.

Her record is not a hot streak. It is sustained dominance.

She made history at the National Junior Heifer Show—twice—by producing both the Grand Champion Shorthorn Plus Female and the Reserve Overall Grand Champion Shorthorn Plus Female in the same year. To accomplish that once is extraordinary. To do it twice cements a legacy.

Her influence in the Maternal Legends Sale speaks for itself. A $97,000 sale topper that went on to be named Reserve Grand Champion Shorthorn Plus in both the Open and Junior Shows at the 2019 National Western Stock Show. And that is only part of the story.

She has produced National Champions across every major stage: • SULL Crystal’s Lucy — Champion Female at the NWSS and NJHS • SULL Cool Crystal — Champion Female at the NWSS Open and Junior Shows • SULL Crystal’s Tootie — Champion Female at NAILE Open and Junior Shows The momentum has not slowed. In the Schrag-Nikkel 2023 Sale, a $90,000 top seller went on to be named Reserve Champion Shorthorn Junior Show Female at the 2024 NWSS. In Fall 2023 alone, her progeny commanded $90,000, $60,000, $40,000, $30,000, $18,000, and at least a dozen more at or near the $10,000 mark.

Then came Fall 2024. A Perfection litter out of 434P had serious breeders driving rental cars across state lines just to see them in person. The results? $69,000 at Sullivan’s. $56,000 at RJ’s. $38,000 at Sherwood’s. Several others well north of $20,000.

That is not hype. That is market validation at the highest level.

Simply put, 434P produces cattle that win banners and write checks.

You want some insider information? These eggs are extra sticky, ask those who have bought in the past.

If you are looking for the safest, most time-tested investment in the Shorthorn business today—this is it. Proven cow power. Proven revenue. Proven championships.

This is not a gamble. This is a legacy.
