Genetic Opportunity XXXII • Saturday, September 10, 2016 • Hillsboro, Indiana

Fellow Angus Enthusiasts,

Combining over 180 years experience breeding quality Angus seedstock!

Welcome to our 32nd Genetic Opportunity Sale. It is our pleasure to offer you some of the most exciting females that we have ever offered.

We have been truly blessed with adequate rainfall this summer and fortunately still have green grass in August. The cattle have responded well to the good summer, and we think as you page through this year’s offering you will agree that we have some exceptional females to offer, both phenotypically and genotypically. All three of the participants in the Genetic Opportunity group have concentrated on bringing you the freshest genetics in the Angus breed that will go home and make a profit for you.

As of this writing, the cattle and grain markets are not at the high levels of a couple years ago; however, the cattle market looks like calves will be in a price range that will still be the third or fourth highest prices in history, and the crops appear to have the potential at this stage to produce record yields.

All three of the breeders in this sale have a passion for the Angus breed. We all pretty much eat, sleep and breathe Angus cattle, and this offering represents the fruits of our life’s work. Added together, we have 180 years-plus experience of raising Angus cattle. There is a reason for the longevity of the herds represented here, and in short it is because our programs have stood the test of time and have worked well for our customers.

There will be something for everyone in this offering in terms of price range. There are numerous stories of cattle that have been purchased from our sales for a modest cost that have gone on to double or triple the investment for their new owners.

As usual we will offer the 2016 heifer calves right from the top of our respective calf crops. They are designed to make the kind of cows that will raise high performing calves and will have pedigrees and EPDs that will be in the top end of the Angus breed. The bred cows will be proven producers that will for the most part be AI bred to the most popular bulls of the breed. Finally, the bred heifer division will feature our newer genetics that will have the potential to be prolific producers for you.

As you can guess, we’re very proud of the 2016 offering and would love to discuss any of the cattle with you prior to the sale. Most importantly, we hope you can be with us sale day. We’ll have a get together with Angus burgers Friday evening before the sale and a tasty lunch sale day before our no-nonsense, no-frills sale on Saturday, September 10th. We hope to see you sale day and welcome your inquiries prior to the sale.

Best regards, The Genetic Opportunity Breeders Dale Grubbs, Les Craft and Andrew Stewart for Stewart Select Angus

Dear Angus Friends and Fellow Cattlemen: Welcome to the 32nd Annual Genetic Opportunity Sale—one of the longest running Angus production sales anywhere in the United States. The longevity of this sale is a testament not only to the quality of the cattle but more to the quality of the people involved with these breeding programs. It is my honor to continue to be involved in their marketing.

We are excited to bring you this outstanding offering in 2016. Grubbs Angus Farm and Les Craft Angus along with their sale guest, Stewart Select Angus, have again assembled a set that illustrates the result of their combined experience in the purebred seedstock industry, spanning over seventy years and three generations—and their passion for the Angus female. These breeders consistently bring forth their very best. While the offering continues to present an outstanding group of open show and donor prospects, the demand for bred females in recent Genetic Opportunity sales has led the group to increase the number in that division. They are sharing some of the very top producers and young females in their respective herds.

The success that Genetic Opportunity customers have had with past investments is testament to the depth and quality present in past events, and this year is no exception. These cattle combine performance with excellent phenotype to become competitors at any level in the industry. The bottom line is: Genetic Opportunity cattle appreciate in value.

The genetics and EPDs represented on both sides of these pedigrees are second to none. The Angus breed’s most popular sires are represented here as well as an exciting group of females by the resident herd sires for each firm. Excellent show and donor prospects from power cow families and sired by breed-leading bulls will sell. Past junior customers have claimed championship honors in show rings across the region and at every level of competition. Whether you select a proven female or an open prospect, you cannot go wrong. You will find an excellent set of replacement females—either sold alone or on the side of their dams. If you are searching for a young donor, don’t overlook the select set of bred heifers.

I am excited to again be working with this progressive group of Angus breeders in the marketing of their cattle. Evaluate your own situation and breeding goals, and on Saturday, September 10th, take advantage of the knowledge and cutting-edge efforts of these breeders and their programs. Please join us Friday evening for food and refreshments while you preview the cattle. Feel free to contact me or any of the owners with your questions or comments.

Sincerely,

SALE MANAGER Matt Sims

Lot 1 offers a unique blend of angularity and power.

The proven dam of Lot 1 offers a uniquely rare pedigree and stamps her phenotype in her progeny, as is evident in this daughter by Connealy Thunder. 293 has posted progeny ratios of WW 8@103, YW 4@113, IMF 13@101 and RE 13@100.

A maternal sister to Lot 1, Craft Merle of 26-M293-R08, exhibited by Catherine Knebel, Winamac, Ind., was Early Junior Yearling Champion, 2006 Indiana State Fair 4-H Show; Class 35 second place, 2006 National Junior Angus Show; Grand Champion, 2006 Northwest Indiana Preview Show; and Champion Angus and Supreme Champion Female, 2006 Pulaski County Fair.

Other sisters to Lot 1 have sold to Robert Maher, IL; Trent Cooper; and Ryan Hall, KS. The top-selling heifer calf in the 2015 Genetic Opportunity Sale, selected by Pollard Farms, OK, descends from the same family as Lot 1.

Countess 70 is a bold bodied, powerfully constructed individual with as much shape and dimension as you could want. Her level design adds to her stout look while being good structured and wide based. She has what it takes to produce a great one…as is evident in the heifer calf at her side.

Lot 3 stems from the foundation Grubbs donor Countess 252. The Countess genetics have consistently been some of the most proven and predictable lines in the Grubbs operation and others, and this female has the same visual and performance capabilities. The Pathfinder fourth dam of Lot 3 served as a donor in the LaGrand program in South Dakota.

Countess 252 has been a top indexing Pathfinder Dam with an impressive progeny weaning ratio of 116 on three natural calves combined with a progeny IMF ratio of 106 and a progeny ultrasound ribeye ratio of 101 on 45 head.

Owned with Galls Angus Farm.

Once again Dale has brought you a young female that exemplifies the look desired by today’s judges. This January heifer combines the body type and structural base desired for replacement females.

Dale believes there is tremendous potential in this descendant of the Countess family.

She offers tremendous length of spine and angularity in an eye catching package. On the move, you appreciate the soundness and functionality of this outstanding prospect and can easily see how competitive she will be as she matures.

Her sire, BC Balance 516-7, is a direct son of the Genex/CRI sire BC Matrix 4132, back to the ever-popular E Belle family on the bottom side.

From the ground up, 605 is super sound on the move with great spring of rib and sweep to her lower belly and ties that into a long sided, eye catching profile. Whether you need a show heifer or a future cornerstone for a breeding program, this young female can fit the bill.

This January daughter of the ever-popular Generation is one of the sleekest built heifers in the offering. She is a knockout when you see her on the profile. 608 is deep sided with a nice, straight top line and a sweet head and neck. She will only get better with age.

The proven third-dam of Lot 6 has posted progeny ratios of WR 8@103, YR 4@113, IMF 13@101 and RE 13@100. 293 offers a uniquely rare pedigree and stamps her phenotype in her progeny, as is evident in Lot 6. A maternal sister to the granddam, Craft Merle of 26-M293-R08, exhibited by Catherine Knebel, Winamac, Ind., was Early Junior Yearling Champion, 2006 Indiana State Fair 4-H Show; Class 35 second place, 2006 National Junior Angus Show; Grand Champion, 2006 Northwest Indiana Preview Show; and Champion Angus and Supreme Champion Female, 2006 Pulaski County Fair.

The sire of Lots 10 and 11, Penners-CC Double Black 2257, is by the $96,000-valued PR Black Friday 0244, a now-deceased sire who has made a lasting impact in producing cattle with tremendous eye appeal, power, balance and structure.

His mother was the 2004 National Junior Show Grand Champion Bred-and-Owned Female.

Granddam of this bull was the $105,000-valued PR Mona Lisa 529, who was the top-selling female of the 2010 National Angus Finals Sale, and a full sister was the featured top-selling donor of the 2013 Next Generation Annual Production Sale at $30,000 to Buford Ranches of Oklahoma and ZWT Ranch of Tennessee.

This bull is backed by generation after generation of proven performance, power and phenotype combined into an outstanding individual with added extension, rib and muscle.

The sire of Lots 24 and 25, SHB Spokane 183A, was the $20,000 2/3 interest selection of Les Craft and Van Dyke Angus Ranch from the 2014 Midland Bull Test Sale.

This Februrary heifer has all the parts to have a great show career. We admire the hind leg set and flexibility she shows at this age. These attributes combined with great early rib shape in addition to being very angular in her front end design should give her the longevity it takes to compete well throughout her entire show career. Her pedigree is hard to beat as well.

The proven granddam of Lot 24 has posted progeny ratios of WR 8@103, YR 4@113, IMF 13@101 and RE 13@100. Merle 293 offers a uniquely rare pedigree and stamps her phenotype in her progeny.
