TERMS AND CONDITIONS

LIABILITY AND INSURANCE

VIDEO PRESENTATION

FEMALE GUARANTEE

The terms of this sale are governed by the laws of the state of Texas. Any amendments or updates, as posted on v8ranch.com or dvauction.com, supersede the contents of this catalog. Upon the conclusion of the auction, a separate sales agreement, including any additional terms, will be sent to the buyer for signature.

Each lot is featured in a video, available for viewing on dvauction.com, providing a comprehensive visual of what's on offer. The video also includes a commentary on each heifer to offer additional insights into their characteristics and potential.

PAYMENT AND TRANSFER

The accepted forms of payment include cash, check, or bank wire. Payment is required upon receipt and must be settled before any animals are transferred from V8 Ranch. Upon receipt of full payment, registration papers will be transferred to the buyer. Failure to complete payment within 14 days of purchase can result in forfeiture of the animal, which may then be sold to another buyer upon written or electronic notice.

FEEDING TERMS

The heifers are currently housed in our show barn, and fitting charges of $25/day begin immediately. If the new owner chooses to transfer their heifer into our development program, they will receive complimentary feed until August 12, 2024. From August 12, 2024, onward, a charge of $10/head/day will apply. Our charges are necessary to cover the cost of providing top-tier care and nutrition for your cattle. Any veterinary expenses incurred will be the owner's responsibility. All accounts will be billed monthly, and feed charges must be settled in full when the cattle are picked up.

HEIFER VIEWING

Currently, the heifers are being halter-broken at our show barn and are available for in-person inspection by appointment. This opportunity allows buyers to evaluate the animals directly and understand their temperament and potential.

HEALTH

The cattle are eligible for an approved state health certificate for interstate shipment within the USA. Buyers are responsible for familiarizing themselves with the health requirements for their respective states. The animals have been meticulously cared for and have been vaccinated under the guidance of our veterinarian.

They are presumed healthy at the time of sale. However, no guarantees are provided for health requirements for exports outside the USA.

The buyer assumes immediate ownership and all associated risks, including injury, disease, or death, at the conclusion of the online auction. Insurance coverage is mandatory for any animal in our care. This coverage is available through Shelia Jensen of Jensen Livestock Agency, who can be reached at 785-374-4372.

Females sold in the sale come with a veterinary certification of health and soundness, which is available upon request. They are guaranteed to be natural breeders for one natural calf, though this is not an all-encompassing insurance policy. Any circumstances of injury, death, poor management, or nutritional issues are not covered. The breeding guarantee is void if the heifer is not in a suitable body condition score to breed, if she is flushed or IVF'd before having a natural calf, or if she is exhibited at livestock shows. Buyers must inform us of any breeding issues by August 1, 2026. In case of any such issues, the buyer is obligated to return the animal to V8. We will then have a 6-month period to validate the breeding capability of the animal.

In case the female is found to be a non-breeder, V8 will either select a suitable replacement or offer a sale credit for future purchases at V8. Cash refunds are not provided.

EMBRYO FLUSH

V8 Ranch retains the right, though may not exercise this right, to perform one embryo flush at the buyer's convenience, yielding a minimum of six grade one transferrable embryos. All costs associated with the embryo flush will be covered by V8 Ranch.

All embryos obtained from V8 Ranch's flush will remain the sole property of V8 Ranch and are not for sale. Furthermore, V8 Ranch retains ownership of all DNA cell lines of animals sold in this sale.

HALF-INTEREST FEMALES

Lots offering half-interest females are subject to a specific sales agreement that details the partnership between the new buyer and V8 Ranch. Potential buyers interested in purchasing a half-interest female are encouraged to contact us before the sale. We will provide a copy of the partnership agreement for your review before any bidding or purchasing takes place. Open communication is paramount to us, and we strive for a successful and mutually beneficial partnership.

“THE MAGIC IS IN THE COWS.”

CELEBRATE THE LEGACY

EXPERIENCE THE MAGIC MADE FOR MAGIC IX

Welcome to Made for Magic IX, a celebration of the Brahman breed’s magic and V8’s enduring dedication to excellence.

This year’s offering features six fall heifers— two Septembers, two Octobers, and two Novembers. Each heifer is halter-broke and as a group, this is our gentlest set ever. Among them, you’ll find five V8 Superblends and three half-interest partnership opportunities, including one polled and one red-colored female.

We are proud to introduce two sires making their debut as Made for Magic sires: +Mr. V8 195/8 “Red Man” and Mr. V8 824/8 (P) “Polled Solution.” It has never been or will be our intention to build an image of only one bull. Therefore, you will have a chance to acquire heifers sired by a number of bulls that we feel have something to contribute.

We know these heifers’ ancestors well—their sires, dams, grandsires, and grandams have rich histories intertwined with our family.

As we wrote the footnotes for this group,

we often asked ourselves, “Should we really be selling this heifer?” Yet, the joy of seeing others succeed with these cattle — the fruits of generations of our family’s hard work — makes us say yes to sharing our best.

We’re also excited to introduce our Magical Investors’ Club Rewards Program, exclusive to buyers of Made for Magic heifers.

This new policy is our way of expressing gratitude for your continued trust and support of our genetics.

Reflecting on our history, we recall the words from our “Golden Gate” sale in 1981: “Our program is to grow, develop, and adapt to the constantly changing industry. This always results in progeny improving with each generation.” This philosophy remains at the heart of our operation as we strive to produce cattle that meet and exceed the evolving needs of the industry.

Thank you for your unwavering interest, friendship, and loyalty. We look forward to welcoming you soon.

HERE’S TO WEAVING MORE MAGIC TOGETHER.

The first Made for Magic female with two International Champion parents. A Sloan daughter out of a 380 International Champion cow. When we say we offer our best, you can easily see we mean it!

This heifer’s dam had been away with our partner for a long time. When she finally returned, she had become even more remarkable. Now, she boasts one of the supreme phenotypes of any living V8 female. As many have said, V8 cattle get better with age.

A match made in heaven, this special V8 Superblend sired by 146 was a long-awaited opportunity. Sloan’s dominance as a sire is historical, with his Made for Magic daughters averaging $50,542. Beyond her two Houston-winning parents, 903/9’s lineage includes many National and International Champions. Sloan, 380, Elmo, Avery, Karu, Superstroke, Dakota, and Remington—household names in the Brahman industry worldwide – are all in her pedigree.

With the growing popularity of red cattle with grey pedigrees, more breeders are looking to capitalize on the earning potential. Here at V8, we too are exploring red cattle, and this female is too valuable to let go of entirely in that regard. She’s red enough that we believe she can comfortably produce red offspring with ease.

This heifer had a poor recip, and sometimes they don’t catch up to the pack by picture day. But for those with an eye for good cattle, the potential here is clear. She’s perfectly structured, good from the ground up, and even prettier in person. Built for the fast line of Brahman breeding, she is a rare daughter of two International Champions, representing the best pedigree we have. Just like her mother, we are confident this female will only get better with age.

Selling one-half interest as we would like to stay involved in this female.

It pains us greatly to let go of any portion of this great cow family, but we know you expect the best from Made for Magic. The tribe of +Miss V8 805/6 is the most guarded cow family at V8—we rarely let any of them go, but when we do, V8 collectors take notice.

The dam of this heifer, Miss V8 62/9, was the 2021 ABBA Show Cow of the Year. A daughter of our National Champion +Miss V8 293/8, she is a ¾ sister to Sloan, with a shot of 380. This heifer, a V8 Superblend from the +Miss V8 805/6 cow family, is blended with the Miss V8 539/6 family through her sire, “Guardian.”

“Guardian” won his class and/or division all three years he was shown, except for his very last show at Houston. He was a two-time division winner at the International Show and the Bull of the Year. Recently named the #1 Trait Leader in the ABBA for weaning weight, Guardian’s impact is evident in this high-performing female.

MISS V8 100/7 (P) Like most breeds, we have had to sacrifice some growth and size to lower NATIONAL CHAMPION MISS V8 62/9 our birth weights. This female can reinject that into your herd. She is +MR. V8 380/6 ABBA SHOW COW OF THE YEAR ‘long as a well rope,’ as Sloan Williams would say, but what you aren’t #1 REGISTER OF RENOWN +MISS V8 293/8 expecting is how much true muscle and shape she has when you get +MISS V8 805/6 NATIONAL CHAMPION behind her. Tremendous from the profile with all the extras in terms of balance, proportions, and femininity. She’s still got the rib shape, muscle, and structure it takes. Her EPDs are a perfect complement to her phenotype—she’s in the top 1% for WW and YW, and top 25% for 10 traits overall.

We are keeping a full sister, which is the only reason this heifer is being offered in her entirety. Docility is becoming an increasingly valued trait in this breed, and this heifer excels in that area—she is very gentle and will be a joy to work with.

COW FAMILY MATRIARCH

Born and raised on the ranch in Boling, Texas, +Miss V8 805/6 was sired by +JDH Sir Avery Manso 159/7, a Liberty son that Jim purchased from J.D. Hudgins, Inc. Avery was bred to our best V8 cows, creating a tribe of powerful females, including our beloved 805/6. A heavily muscled, deep-sided, and very feminine cow, she is the mother of national and international champions. In fact, her influence has carried worldwide through her son, three-time Houston Champion, +Mr. V8 146/8, “Sloan.” She is the matriarch of our largest cow family at V8 today, with 33 active descendants in our cow herd.

The Brahman breed is rapidly moving towards polled cattle worldwide. Any day, the right grey PP bull could be born that changes the landscape of the entire breed. With the immediate impact of our outcross Australian import, NCC Municipal (PS), we see this smooth polled female as having the potential to be the mother of that bull, and boy are we excited about that challenge. As we continue to improve our breed, we must focus on raising not just elite females but also elite breed-changing bulls. Here’s a female that could be part of that puzzle, and we are offering the chance to join us as a partner. +JDH MR. ELMO MANSO This sale features not just one heifer but two sired by “Polled Solution.” He +MR. V8 279/7 (P) NATIONAL CHAMPION is our best breeding bull in terms of aggressively breeding and settling cows, MISS V8 510/6 but it’s the quality of his calves—providing the bone, breed character, and MR. V8 824/8 (P) muscle that polled cattle desperately need—that really sets him apart. +JDH SIR AVERY MANSO "POLLED SOLUTION" Mr. V8 824/8 (P) is out of Miss V8 578/7, a flushmate to +Mr. V8 191/7. Their MISS V8 578/7 +MISS V8 464/6 mother, +Miss V8 464/6, is a World Brahman Congress and International INTERNATIONAL & WBC CHAMPION champion. Polled Solution is from the +Claydesta 807-U5 cow family, our (+)JDH KARU MANSO 800 second oldest and now, most rare. +MR. V8 380/6 Polled Solution was a natural calf. This heifer is a natural calf. We use a lot of embryo transfer, but there is undeniable value in a cow’s ability to raise a natural calf. Her mother, Miss V8 319/8, has had two Made for Magic heifers, both natural calves. She’s a dark pigmented, good uddered, beefy 380 daughter, who was a class winner at Houston. She’s a full sister to +Miss V8 49/8, the mother of Guardian.

If there is anyone still worried about us keeping the best ones all to ourselves, this should end that discussion. Selling one half-interest.

Miss V8 938/9 (S) represents the culmination of 80 years of focusing on the female, combining the +JDH Marri Holly Manso cow family with the +Claydesta 807-U5 tribe through her sire, “Polled Solution.” This joining of two remarkable families makes her a V8 Superblend.

To call this heifer striking might be an understatement. She has the classic V8 silhouette selected for generations: elegant, perfectly balanced, with excellent hump placement and breed character. Though she’s one of the greener heifers in the sale condition-wise, her phenotype and outline are the flashiest of the bunch. She is absolutely elite in her look and build, with perfect angles and dimensions, and carries herself proudly on the move.

With a little patience, she has as much upside as any of them, both as a potential show female and a future donor. She has great EPDs with 8 traits in the top 25% to match this beautiful look.

A real power cow in the making, this heifer has an incredible combination of extension, mass, bone, and balance. She’s extra good on the profile, with an elegant and ladylike front end and head.

His reputation as an outstanding show bull and Bull of the Year precedes him, making his calves highly sought after. What we find most remarkable is the performance, presence, and docility he consistently passes on.

If you are looking to level up, here’s a great opportunity. She’s a V8 Superblend, representing the highest level of our V8 cow family focused breeding. Like her mother, she brings it all to the table.

V8 380/6 multiple V8 sires, the latest being +Mr. V8 195/8 “Red Man.” This is her #1 REGISTER OF RENOWN +MISS V8 917/7 second Made for Magic heifer. Her daughters favor their mother greatly: +MISS V8 209/6 RESERVE INTERNATIONAL CHAMPION all are deep-ribbed, easy-fleshing cattle with lots of muscle, and most JDH MR. ELLIOTT MANSO importantly, are easy to look at! A daughter of 210/2, Miss V8 279/9, was JDH QUENCY MANSO the 2023 Show Cow of the Year and, in our opinion, our best daughter of +JDH LADY CHARLA MANSO Sloan. This heifer shares many of the qualities that made 279/9 so admired +JDH LADY ASHTYN MANSO 210/2 INTERNATIONAL CHAMPION in our breed. (+)JDH SIR MARRI MANSO +Mr. V8 195/8 “Red Man” is making a significant impact. Unless you live in JDH LADY COTE MANSO JDH MADDIE GRANDE MANSO a cave, you know how these Red Man cattle excel in the pasture, sale ring, and show ring. We’ve had the distinct pleasure of having Red Man serve as a natural service sire (thank you, Clay Family) and now as a sire in our ET program. He was an outstanding show bull himself, but he’s outproducing himself in terms of phenotype. He’s a Register of Renown sire, excelling in both red and gray cattle, and comes from our +Rose cow family. His mother, +Miss V8 917/7, is still an ET donor here today with sons in our show barn.

We see our half-interest heifers as ones we cannot bear to part with fully due to their potential as future super cows. We’re inviting you to join us in crafting her story. Selling one-half interest.

DISCOVER THE HIDDEN GEMS AT V8

PRIVATE TREATY SALE PENS Having been sold out of heifers, we eagerly welcome you back to the sale pens at V8. Besides the six Made for Magic heifers, our private treaty sale pens will be ready for inspection and are worth a visit in person.

After our Made for Magic Auction, we open our heifer pens with around 50 top fall-born Brahmans available for sale. Why aren’t these in the auction? Imagine bidding on 50 head of cattle! We hand-select the Made for Magic heifers and then offer the rest to a wider audience.

Prices in our private treaty pens range from $5,000 to $20,000, with great value if you know what you’re looking for. Each heifer, even at the lower end, is bred for uncompromising quality. Our cattle improve with age, especially with your care. And we’ll be with you every step, providing guidance to ensure your Miss V8 thrives.

FIRST SELECTIONS GO TO OUR MFM BIDDERS One perk of bidding in the Made for Magic auction is that you can jump to the front of the line as a Private Treaty VIP.
