We have included a disposition score for every Brangus & Ultrablack bull selling. These bulls were scored following gathering yearling weight and ultrasound data. Vern and Cody scored them individually at this time. Please note the explanation of our scoring system above, with 5 stars being the best and 1 being the worst. There are no 1 or 2 star rankings in this sale because they were culled. Please contact us with any questions you may have.

Ready To Work

We have listened to the needs of our customers and offer to you this set of long yearling bulls. They are the top cut from our late fall bulls primarily born after October 1, 2021. None have been taken off the top. Handled with longevity in mind these bulls were developed steadily across their growth curve, not pushed and over fed to gain unnecessarily and become over conditioned. Semen checked and ready to go to work, they have been on a controlled and steady incline since weaning, and you will find them in tip top shape for turn out.

An almost impossible task of finding a quartet of traits as this young herd sire possesses all wrapped up into one incredibly formidable package that some would say defies that it can be accomplished. Calving ease genetics with top tier growth, end product dominance; plus, reproductive efficiency all rolled into one. Your search is over. Add to his numerical predictions a phenotype that expresses sturdiness of design with an abundance of rib shape, thickness of top line and rear quarter expression while still standing on an abundance of bone with a correct foot design. He started life with an 84 lb. BW to ratio 99 and went on to record an AWW of 785 lb. to ratio 117. There was no backing off at yearling as he logged a phenomenal AYW of 1325 lb. to ratio 112, an AREA of 15.04 to ratio 108 and a respectful AIMF of 5.12. But that does not end his supremacy as he ranks in the Top 25% of the breed or higher on 12 economically relevant traits. He is at the top of the breed for WW at 1%, followed closely with a Top 2% TM, Top 3% SC & TI, Top 5% YW, Top 10% CED & REA. Three traits make the Top 15% for BW, IMF & HP along with Top 20% STAY & Top 25% ranking for NC, and a 5 STAR DISPOSITION. From there we move to his extraordinary dam who has done what cows are supposed to do - calve as a 2-year-old and do so every 12 months. She raised this lot as a 4 year old and currently has 3 progeny recorded a ABWR of 98.7, AWWR of 110 and an AYWR of 103. A UB1 daughter, she exemplifies the type of cow you would want your herd sire to be out of. His sire Masterpiece needs little introduction as he sired the $72,000 Suhn’s Triple Crown 416J39 who topped the fall 2022 sale at Chimney Rock selling to American Cattle Enterprises. Selling 2/3 semen interest and full possession. Chimney Rock Cattle will retain 1/3 semen interest.

Dominant Performance

His sire, Currency, needs little introduction to the breed. He is a widely used AI sire and has more than proven his value as a solid calving ease sire whose offspring still have the performance to compete with the power bulls when you look at pounds delivered at weaning. This lot does not reflect his sire’s capacity as far as calving ease; however, he more than makes up for it with his own stats for performance and EPD rankings. From the maternal side his dam did an exceptional job as a first calf heifer and his grandam 53C6 is a full sister to the 53D2 donor that sold through the fall 2022 sale at Chimney Rock to Genesis Ranch, Mike Weathers for $35,000. As each year moves forward the 53 cow family proves that it was a good decision when Suhn’s purchased the TO53 Angus cow from Bradley 3 Ranch in Texas. However, this lot does not have to rest solely on ancestral laurels. He

Pedigree, performance + DNA combine to project a ranking for WW and YW in the upper 2% of the breed, Top 4% for TI and Top 5% TM. He also ranks in the Top 15% for REA & HP, Top 20% for IMF, STAY, and BB, with a 4 STAR DISPOSITION. If your check list for a herd sire includes adding more pounds, increased REA and IMF, plus increasing reproductive efficiency look no further. Buyers option. A.

He Redfines Complete

Trail Boss has certainly found his nitch the past several years in the Brangus breed. He now records over 480 progeny and has done a superb job when used on both Brangus and Ultrablack females. His daughters make exceptional females, and his outstanding son Masterpiece is now taking second seat to his sons that are making their own mark on the industry. When you critique his phenotype and structure, he leaves little doubt that he needs to be propagated within this industry. As you appraise this bull and evaluate the expression of muscle down his top and through his rear quarter, his massive depth and spring of rib, correctness of foot and leg structure and the way he strides out with authority and confidence of presence, one is reminded again that it takes more than just high IMF readings, big ribeyes and lots of pounds to keep us viable in the beef industry. He does not come by this by mistake as his cow family heritage through the Bradley 3 program in Texas was patterned around cattle that could survive and reproduce under harsh environmental conditions. The sire line developed at Suhn Cattle Co. had much of the same requirements in that if there was a place for Brangus in the north they had to be bred to thrive and survive under those conditions. 53K7 has a 5 STAR DISPOSITION and ranks in the Top 10% of the breed for SC & HP, Top 15% for WW, IMF & TI, Top 20% for YW, TM & STAY plus the Top 25% FI. His dam is another standout Foundation daughter who is a full sister to 53D2 and the grandam of 53K. He has the credentials to write new chapters in Brangus history. Selling 2/3 semen interest and full possession. Chimney Rock Cattle will retain 1/3 semen interest.

Calving Ease Plus Sustainability

Analyzing this lot’s data, it is quickly apparent that he is an outlier for calving ease with his projections in the Top 4% for both CED and BW. Phenotypically you quickly become impressed with his stature. From the ground up he stands on exceptional bone, is wide based in his structure both from the front and rear, lays in neatly through his shoulder, is boldly sprung through his ribcage, possess excellent dimension down his top line and carries it into a quarter that ties deep into his hock with exceptional thickness through the center section of his stifle. Great 5 STAR DISPOSITION with rankings in the Top 10% for YW and STAY, Top 15% for WW and TI, Top 20% REA and NC, Top 25% FI and BB, plus the icing on the cake with a Top 4% HP and Top 5% SC. All this plus a lineage of Signal, Trail Boss and the 102 cow family who is rewriting history for the Gariss family. Yes, all this adds up to more than

Burtins Trailboss 141k3

just a calving ease bull, but rather one that has the genetic prowess to have a big impact on our industry. However, before you shut the gate on his pen, we already know the first question you will ask. Is he big enough? From our perspective the Brangus breed picks up great attributes from both parent lines. One disadvantage from Brahman genetics is the longer extended growth and maturity patterns. Much of the basis behind Ultrablack was to control that with Angus genetics to make our cattle more sustainable. You can skip the Angus step with herd sires like this. Yes, we definitely think he is big enough. Selling ½ semen interest and full possession. Lake Majestik Farms will retain ½ semen interest.

Individual Performance At Its Best

Masterpiece strikes again with this individual that projects top tier growth and carcass EPDs and backs it up with actual performance numbers that totally overshadowed his contemporaries. His three-year-old Epic sired dam did not disappoint with her second calf. He recorded a commanding AWW of 760 lb. to ratio 117 and continued down that path with an AYW of 1367 lb. to ratio 112. Ultrasound readings were also off the charts with an AREA of 15.67 to ratio 111 coupled with an AIMF of 6.52 to ratio 123. Daughters of Epic have done us a tremendous job and this one is no exception. They just do an awesome job of raising their calves - solid practical females that are functional and appear to be in it for the long haul. The 918 cow family has not had a lot written about them nor have they received a lot of press. Just a hidden gem tucked away in the Flint Hills of Kansas waiting for their time to flourish. We talked earlier about 918K4’s performance credentials and he backs them

CALVING EASE + MATERNAL POWER

We hear more talk and press daily about functional, sustainable cattle. The quest for top tier growth and carcass has the potential to be detrimental to sustainability through reduced maternal function. We have always admired the Tradition daughters because of their low maintenance requirements while still raising some of the biggest calves in the pasture. The right cow is an important part of a herd sire’s credentials and this lot’s dam would be at the top of anyone’s list after viewing the entire cowherd at Chimney Rock. She has proven herself as a donor. She is currently nursing a bull calf by Data Bank that is one of the best you will find in the pastures at CRC and her first daughter as a two-year-old is also a donor. 919K21’s sire, Signal, is recognized as one of the most elite calving ease bulls in the breed

Crc Blueprint 919k19

and his sons and daughters are commanding more attention daily. This lot follows in the footsteps of his sire with an incredible calving ease package ranking in the Top 10% for BW and Top 20% CED coupled with that same ranking for WW and YW growth. His Top 3% ranking for HP, Top 15% for STAY and Top 25% rank for REA TI, FI, and NC. EPDs that combine to project increased sustainability for his offspring. As you evaluate this young prospect in the pen you would not consider him a calving ease bull. He is bolder in his dimensions and more rugged in his shape and design than you would expect from one with his genetic profile. He handily marks all the boxes to have a great future as a breeding bull with a 5 STAR DISPOSITION Selling 2/3 semen interest and full possession. Chimney Rock Cattle will retain 1/3 semen interest.
