34th Annual Blue River Gang Sale - Sunday, February 7th

Welcome All Fellow Cattlemen!

Welcome to our 34th Annual Simmental, Sim-Angus & Angus Production Sale!

As always, we would like to send out a big thank you to everyone who has supported this sale in the past. It is because of you that we get to continue our passion of raising Simmental and Angus cattle. All four of us consignors on the sale try to achieve the same goal, which is to produce cattle that will enhance your program no matter how big or small it may be. Each year, customers comment on how our quality of cattle gets better and better every year. We take pride in comments like that and would like to think the same. This past fall we saw the markets decline to lower levels, but we can’t forget how many people are in this world and the everlasting demand for beef. Purchasing quality cattle may be more important now than ever to enhance overall profit. We truly believe we have the quality of cattle to do this and we would love to work with each and every one of you.

Every year, our open heifers sold on the sale are eligible for a futurity show held mid summer at the Ruth farm following the sale. With $1500 of total winnings over nine places, this can be a very worthwhile event. The futurity is not limited to just 4-H and FFA members. It is open to anybody purchasing heifers at our sale.

We hope every can make plans to attend the 34th annual Blue River Gang Sale. If you have any questions with the sale offering, please feel free to contact any of the breeders or the sale management. Hope to see you on sale day!

These four heifers come from our Steel Force donor W83 who was a many time winner for us in her showing days with her highest honors being Reserve Champion Simmental at AK-SAR-BEN. We should probably be flushing her more often because her results have been phenomenal. She also has two bulls and a bred heifer in the sale this year as lots 45, 45A & 68 which show her versatility and capability of producing high performing, attractive, and sound offspring. C519 has already kicked off to a great show career with her only time out being named Champion PB Simmental Heifer Calf at the 2015 NE State Fair. I don’t know if we have ever had one this good around the farm, this correct, this powerful, and this stylish. We truly feel that in the right hands she, like her mother, can go on to be a many time winner on any stage. C62 is a flush mate to C519 is about as stout as you can make a purebred all while tying into a great front third. Have fun showing her then let her become one of your top producing cows. C86 is a long spined, deep sided, square hipped half blood that has a to die for front end. She has so many powerful maternal traits in her that her mating options are endless. C83 is W83’s natural calf out of our Fat Butt herd bull. She is one of the youngest heifers on the sale but she wasted no time catching up. Purebreds like her don’t come along every day, don’t miss this one. All four of these heifers are halter broke and ready for the show ring.

This one is a true breeding piece. She goes back to the great Belle cow of Chris Beutler and is sired by the hottest bull of last year, who is now deceased, Turning Point. The semen is very limited on Turning Point so these females will be very hard to find, especially when they are as stout as this. Halter Broke!

Last year, the high selling bull on the sale was this guy’s flush mate. I wrote in the footnote last year that

no matter where you were coming from that bull would be worth the trip, and we feel the same exact way about this guy! This bull on the move is a standout, pointing all four forward and filling his tracks. Massive topped, great hip and depth, and ties into a great front end. His dam is doing a great job for Bill Fulton and hasn’t disappointed us one bit. Tested homozygous black, homozygous polled.

I really wish I would’ve gotten a picture of this 2 year old because he is very impressive. Come see him on sale day, he is built a lot like his sire Mr. Confidence and moves out very well. We used him a little bit on our heifers last year. He should be ready to go, cover a herd and pass down those great genetics.

She is very good structurally and on the stand still you will come to appreciate this one even more. She ultra sounded safe to her AI date and they aren’t 100% percent sure but it appeared to be a bull calf. We used Bettis last year on our heifers and retained every heifer calf back for our herd.

This has to be one of the best bred heifers we have ever offered! They say a picture is worth 1,000 words and I would have to agree after looking at her’s. Get her out on the move and you will find another one of her great qualities. The homework is done, and her first calf will probably pay for her in one shot plus some!

This is a very well made brockle faced second calf heifer with a good disposition and excellent mothering abilities. We put her first calf directly into our replacement pen and she has a Mr. Confidence calf on the way. The only reason we are selling her is because of her later calving date. Vet called for a late April early May calf.

S A V Angus Valley 1867, Sire

S A V Angus Valley 1867 is the $200,000 lead-off bull from the 2012 SAV Sale. He carries the namesake of the SAV program and is backed by the best of the Blackcap May family that was established at SAV in 1945 and leads the breed in the production of A.I. stud sires. The phenomenal first calf crops by Angus Valley have exceeded all expectations and proven him as a consistant calving ease sire who transmits growth, muscle, performance and eye catching style. SAV Angus Valley 1867 will be one of the most impacting calving ease sires to ever surface from the Schaff Angus Valley program.

Here is a bred we bought a few years back from Tim Burke that topped his bred heifer sale. This girl has all power and balance that everyone desires, and can raise a calf year in and year out. We had every intention in making her our top donor on our club calf end before deciding to focus on Simmentals alone. The AI date is to close to call but we feel very confident in both matings. She is extremely gentle and easy to work with. The vet called for a Late February early March calf.
