When we discussed lots for this sale we hadn’t considered including a flush out of Sweetie Pie. However, after numerous phone calls, from Simmental and RedAngus breeders, we decided that we had to offer such an incredible opportunity with this amazing female. She is the 5th generation out of the ‘Class’ cow familyand the perfect example of the type of Red Simmental cattle that we strive to breed with near perfect structural correctness. This is a powerhouse red female withboth her 17 year old grandmother and 11 year old mother still producing in the herd. Sweetie Pie is open, vet checked and ready to schedule a flush to the bullof your choice. She flushed 7 number one quality eggs last year. Hester’s Livestock guarantees six eggs to the bull of the buyer’s choice, after 6 the buyer andseller split the rest of them evenly. Buyer gets the first 6; seller gets the 7th and so on. Buyer pays for all flush expenses, Hester’s Livestock pays for the freezing

costs of their share of eggs. Flush will be conducted by Steve Vredenburg, DVM, Banks Veterinary Clinic.

Red Gala is a crowd favorite and one of the first females to grab your attention in the pasture. She is an extremely cleanfronted, deep bodied female with great legs and that wow factor. Red Gala is a 6th generation female from one of our oldest cow families. Her mother, Hester’s Sugar Baby, is also the dam of lot 8 and lot 9 and from their photos you can seejust how consistent these full sisters are. We have extremely high expectations for this combination and we’ve had excellent results with Mr. Ishee Red Density calves out of Scarlet Dreams females. The calves out of this combination will have the best of both worlds with show ring eye appeal and excellent EPD’s in the top 1% of the breed for API and TI.Red Density is the best Beefmaker son that we’ve seen to date and his calves have been our highest sellers this past year. Allthe embryos from this combination are Canada eligible. EPDs shown are projected.

Mom and Dad did not want to sell this female but in the end they agreed. She isa Hester’s Sugar Baby daughter and full sister to Red Gala and Candi with thesame tremendous eye appeal. She is a moderate framed, deep, blood red, femalein a unique balanced package. Sweet Dreams has a ton of potential as a futuredonor and will make a significant impact in any program. This is the type of female you can build a herd around and we are very excited for her to becomea cow and starts producing the next generation. She is due to Mr. Ishee RedDensity 4/26/14 with a calf that will be in the top 1% for API and TI. We are re-taining 50% embryo interest in Lot 8.

Red Ruby had a slow start penned with mature cows, but don’t overlookthis heifer. We have every bit of confidence that she will mature to be everybit as good as her full sister Red Rose (Lot #10). The added bonus withthis lot is that she was implanted 9/15/13 with a Hester’s Classy Lady x Mr.Ishee Red Density embryo. We hadn’t intended to implant her with an em-bryo but when the time came we had one fresh embryo and Red Ruby inheat so it was our best option at the time. Our high selling red bull lastyear is a full sibling to this combination with; a low birth weight, massivecarcass and great disposition with 130 API and 71 TI. Lot #14 selling isanother full sibling to this combination. She is due 6/24/14 with pregnancyconfirmed by the vet prior to sale day.

We fell in love with this Hester’s Sweetie Pie daughter from day one and it’seasy to see why. She is a stunning heifer that we fully expect see in the showring winning purple next year and is destined to become the cornerstoneof anyone’s donor program. We are extremely impressed with her depth ofrib, level top, great legs and smooth shoulders and confident you will hear

this heifer’s name for years to come. This is a rare opportunity to own a tremendous female from the foundation cow family in our herd. Her full sister, Hester’sGem, is a perfect example of just how good of a cow she will become. We are retaining 50% embryo interest in Lot 12.

This Hester’s Diva daughter is an absolutely beautiful heifer out of a completely out-crossed red sire, DCR Mr. Highlander. Structurally, this deepblood red heifer is as close to perfection as you will find. What’s so specialabout Red Robin is that she continues to get better every day. She is theyoungest heifer in our sale and we can keep at the farm until weaned. Since

her photo was taken, she continues to get thicker and deeper ribbed. We are extremely excited to see how this heifer will show next season and look forwardto seeing this true gem continue to develop into what we believe will be an extremely special future donor.
