Yo Momma 012’s second calf was sired by Hannibal and wasa high seller for Mitchel, Exline and Sandy for $14,500. Shethen produced some replacement heifer calves that show her production. Due to focusing on her daughter, we neverflushed her until this fall when in her first flush she produced18 No. 1 embryos.Think of the potential return on this investment. She will putyour operation on the map and expand it with her returns.Be sure to check out her video and make the trip to see her in person. If soundness, look and power are in…SHE’S ALL IN!!!

Welcome to Rising Star III staying home. We are so excited to be hosting this saleat our main location outside of West Point. The first two sales were awesome and

we enjoyed the Cedar Rapids location, however, we had a couple of issues to deal with. First, no transportationor risk of loss by being home. Second, with this year’s format of conducting the sale off of videos, we don’thave to worry about injuring our ring man, Dacota, like last years close call. All the cattle will be on displaysale day for your viewing. Live bidding will be conducted in our show barn with videos playing for each lot.Liveauctions.tv will also be available to view or bid on-line. We are very excited.

In reference to the cattle, look through the catalog and you decide. We decided to make this an extra specialevent so we are offering absolutely the most proven donors of our operations. I could go on forever on whatthese cattle have done for us and what they could do. Just call and I’d be happy to visit with you.

It’s crazy to think, Kim and I started this operation with 4 purebred Angus cows, no pasture, and a housethat sat empty for 8 years with old neglected buildings. Cows have brought us a long way, they are our livelihood. We learned long ago that great producers give great returns.

A special thank you to all our friends in the cattle business and we really look forward to our new friendsyet to meet. Call me or anyone associated with the sale with any questions. See you at the ranch on the 13thof December.Chad & Kim Holtkamp

Welcome!

Sometimes you just know those extra special cows rightaway. This is one of those cows. Apparently everyone whosaw her at the Rising Star II sale knew it also but, only onecould own her. Craig Conrad stepped up and added her tohis program. Everyone keeps asking about Lil ‘E reassuringher popularity. It wasn’t easy to get Craig to share these genetics because he knows the real money is made on thelive ones. Craig thanks for sharing. Immortal and Lil ‘E looks to be a big ticket mating.

heifer which is her flushmate. Emotions playedapart in the decision to keep Catera (Dacota’sshow heifer). Emotional decisions don’t alwaysmake the most financial solid decisions. MissExpress is moderate sized, absolutely positivelyone of the best built females made anywhere. Sogood-looking, correct and with the milk of hermother should make an awesome cow.Choo Choo’s track record is impressive. She herself was named the Reserve Supreme Heiferof the Iowa Beef Expo.
