Performance, carcass and phenotype! That’s what you are purchasing here. But-tercup is the type and kind of cow that we have been loading our stable with the past four years as a result of our ET program. If you are looking for donor cow or just looking to add a superior female to your herd, she definitely deserves your attention. Her EPD’s are absolutely phenomenal when you look at her performance and carcass num-bers. She ranks in the top 3% of all dams

for WW, YW and FM for performance. Plus, she ranks in the top 2% for CW, top 4% for RE and top 20% for CV. She absolutely would not be offered for sale if we didn’t have full sibs in our program. In fact, we have a full sib in our show string that is only a year old…check out the consistency! We reserve the right for one flush consisting of 8 embryos (grade 1 or grade 2) at our expense. I would consider a partnership on this great female…please visit with me prior to the sale if that’s your intention. This is as good as it gets at our place! She is bred to Lazy TV Final Answer Z100 for a March calf (AAA 17394611).

Offered by Michael Rea and Mitch Garcia, Berthoud, CO.

Here is an opportunity to purchase an outstanding purebred homozygous black ho-mozygous polled heifer that is a very strong individual. Roxi 302A is a very sound, deep

bodied heifer that is ready to be very competitive in the ring and has all the genetic values as a useful breeding piece in any program. 302A comes from the great Roxi cow family that has continuously produced many great females and herd sires through the years. Roxi 302A is a maternal brother to Flat Iron, a herd sire used in the Plateau Gelbvieh program. Predictable genetics in a young female from one the great cow families in the Gelbvieh breed. Sells open and ready to breed this spring.

Offered by Green Hills Gelbvieh, Mt. Ulla, NC.

Here is a sporty show heifer prospect who has all the right pieces to gather up pur-ple and then hit the pasture and make the green. Super sound, big bodied, attractive female who has already found the backdrop being named reserve Gelbvieh female at the North Carolina State Fair Open show and then Calf Champion in Louisville in the purebred Gelb-vieh show. This late March homozygous black, double polled daughter of X- Factor is built as good as you can make one from the side and at the ground, then when you get behind her, she is still extremely im-pressive. We feel she is the type of female to build a program around as she is one of the best ever raised at Green Hills. Her sire, X-Factor is a past Peoples Choice Balancer Bull Futurity Champion. Sells open and ready to breed this spring.

Offered by Plateau Gelbvieh, Peetz, CO.

Simply put, PLA Valedictorian is the type of female we strive to produce each year. Out of one or our deep bodied, easy doing donor cows, PLA Valedictorian is stout, correct and powerful all wrapped up in an extremely fancy package. Her big top, square hip and pretty front are hard to ignore. She is capable of improving a herd with her balanced EPDs and exceptional maternal traits. Her added sweet heart disposition makes her an outstanding junior prospect as well. Her sire, TAU Gunslinger, is proving to produce performance plus beef machines. The early scan data on the Gunslinger sons for yearling rib-eye and marbling looks mighty impressive. Don’t miss this opportunity! Sells open and ready to breed this spring.

Prior arrangements for telephone bids at sale time must be made with sales management or the auctioneer. There are no warranties, expressed or implied, by either the auctioneer or seller, except as set forth herein, as to the merchantability or fitness for any particular purpose of any animal offered in this sale. The right to bid or the right to reject the final bid, if done before the hammer falls, is reserved for the seller.INSURANCE OF PURCHASES AND RISK: All animals are at the owner’s risk and become the property of the purchaser when declared sold by the auctioneer.

Cows represented as being “safe in calf” will have been examined by a licensed veterinarian and are so guaranteed. They are considered breeders without further guarantee. Females with a “due to calve” date in the remarks columns are considered safe in calf. A bred female is a female known to have been served by a bull either by natural breeding or artificial insemination, but it does not necessarily mean that the female is safe in calf to that service.

An open heifer is a virgin heifer that has never been exposed to a bull either through natural service or artificial insemination.

The seller shall be entitled a six (6) month trial period in which to prove the animal is a breeder, the seller shall, at his option, replace the animal with another of equal value or refund the purchase price.

It shall be the obligation of the seller to bear all expenses incurred for transportationof the animal in question to the farm of the seller.
