Style week! Silveiras Style sired the Grand and Reserve Grand Angus Heifers at the Western Bonanza, California's largest preview show. The Grand Heifer was also slapped Supreme champion. Style also sire the Champion Balancer and Maintainer at the Nebraska Cattleman's Classic I have been told! Pics coming soon.

There's about 40 units of 5 ml sexed heifer semen left, and about 30 of the 2 ml.

We are making sexed SS/PRS Gunslinger and KLER Make It Rain this week hopefully. We might make some STF Shocking Dream.

We have some Silveiras Style on hand.

Bush Angus had a heck of sale this past weekend. The top selling bull was by O'Reilly Factor out of a VRD daughter. $39,000 to Malson's. 21 bulls averaged $9600 by O'Reilly Factor and the cows that sold in the sale bred to him averaged $6000.

Style sired the Grand AND the Res. Grand Champion Females at the Western Bonanza in the Angus division and also the Supreme Champion Female! If you think you might want to use sexed heifer semen on Style, please call in to reserve it. We don't want to run out and it takes a while to make.

Thanks! - Lance

You'll be hearing about this one! Schaff's Angus sale boasted a $300,000 high selling bull and a $350,000 female.  Here's the report from cattleseller.com.

At the Ranch, St. Anthony, ND

February 11, 2012

Breed: Angus

437.....Bulls.....$12,415

186.....Females.....$11,230

The Yardley High Regard and Lock n Load calves look really good!  It's hard to imagine easier fleshing cattle than what the Lock n Load's are.

High Regard is going to raise the bar in the Simmental breed for improving type and eye-appeal. These high Regards are super fronted with excellent hair. High Regard himself looks good at Goeken Farms, and they also have some really good progeny.

Of course, one of Werning's highlights in the heifer offering is a Dream Catcher bred.  This bull is just simply complete in what he produces for quality and calving ease.

The Hart Farms in Frederick SD have some great Sweet Meat daughters in production. They rarely have bulls in their sale out of first calf heifers, but Sweet Meat daughters produced heavy bulls with their first calves.  To improve udders and add milk and depth, use Sweet meat.  He also produces great bulls.

Springers best performance bull in his upcoming sale is sired by Sweet Meat.

Special thanks to Jeremie Ruble, ASA Eastern Field Rep, for calling in and reporting that PRS Blazin Hot calves look excellent in several herds that he's visited recently.

He also notes that Angus bull SS Incentive should work great to enhance API value in SimAngus use. With an API on 147....he's perfect to use on heifers in that scenario.

Congrats to Sachau Cattle for his $14,500 Cut Above 3/4 blood heifer that sold in his sale last weekend.

There's been just under 100 registered progeny on Cut Above, yet over 10% of his heifers have sold for $5000 and up+. That's a very high percentage!

We are excited about our new Hereford additions!

Lance is starting a "Road Trip" on his way to the Iowa Beef Expo later this week. I should be going to analyze cattle at Springers, Grass Lunning, Kaehlers, Werning, Goeken, Auch, Koupal, Benes, Janssen and who knows what else. Make sure you look at the new calving ease Simmental bull on our site...GLS New Direction. I should see at least a dozen JF American Pride calves...where Chris Janssen says they are really built nicely and are better fronted than the Dream On's.
