Lot 13 ~ Herbster Bravery 934 ~ 19526279

President X Cabin Creek Sandy 804

​

 A sale feature, Herbster Bravery 934 is as proud and prominent as his name. Long-spined and superior in his skeletal structure, the Lot 13 bull has style to burn. Herbster Angus Farms purchased a flush on KNC Cabin Creek Sandy 804 from Brad and Cindy Worthington of Rockin’ W Angus for her impeccable ability to produce progeny with superior phenotype, added bone, and explosive muscle. It was very logical to take President and flush him to this icon of Angus phenotype! KNC Cabin Creek Sandy 804 is responsible for many direct sons and daughters that have grabbed purple ribbons all across the United States and Canada. Her daughter, RW Super Sandy, by First Class, was the Grand Champion Junior Angus Female at the 2017 National Western Stock Show for the Schnoor Sisters. Our $80,000 full sister to “Super Sandy,” Brooking PM Sandy 7041, was named the 2019 Nebraska State Fair ROV Grand Champion Cow/Calf pair. If you are looking to add power and show ring style to your calves, look to Bravery. He ranks in the top 10% of Non-Parent sires for WW, YH, Claw, Angle, MW, and MH. If you want to look good, come back to the sale—proven growth and look genetics are on display!

Maternal Sister to Lot 13

Lot 14 ~ Herbster Genesis 945 ~ 19526280

Seedstock X VAR Rita 5063

​

Our bull buyers were wanting bulls that would produce a premium carcass on the rail. Herbster Genesis 945 is that bull. He has the second-highest EPD for Marb in the entire offering at +.82. His mother, VAR Rita 5063, is a promising young donor in our program and we look for her to add much-needed carcass traits to our growth genetics. The “5063” cow will be one to watch in the future of both the Vintage Angus Ranch and Herbster Angus Farms programs. The top three direct daughters of “5063” daughters sold in the 2019 Vintage Angus Ranch Female Sale averaged over $33,000 and went to Spruce Mountain Ranch, Ingram Angus, and FB Genetics. The Lot 14 bull garners a great opportunity to purchase her first son to sell through the sale at Herbster Angus Farms. A full brother “in blood” to our $50,000 valuation herd sire, VAR Ambassador, Genesis will sire calves with added frame, carcass merit, and docility. Selling ½ semen revenue sharing interest and full possession.

Governor X Game Changer X Forever Lady

​

If added frame score, length of body, and pounds are what you are seeking, the Lot 19 bull has topped all those bells and whistles. Herbster Governor 962 has impressive growth and bioeconomical indexes—ranking in the top 4% of Non-Parent sires for WW, RADG, and $F. He also ranks in the top 2% for YW and CW. Bred to grow fast, his calves will furnish a great profit on calves sold at weaning. His first-calf mother is a productive Game Changer daughter backed by the Forever Lady family, known in Angus circles worldwide for their mothering ability and maternal traits. Sell the steer progeny at weaning and keep the daughters for great replacements! 

​

Lot 23 ~ Herbster Peak 918 ~ 19526262

Pedigree X Seedstock X Emblynette

​

Constructed like his sire, Herbster Peak 918 is long, smooth, and correct. His first-calf heifer dam has tremendous potential as a cow—she brought this strapping young bull across the weaning scale to ratio 103. She is a direct daughter of SAV Emblynette 6572, our most productive Schaff Angus Valley cow to date. A Pathfinder, “6572” has 11WW@103, 9YW@102, and 16IMF@102.  “6572” will raise her 12th calf this spring. Herbster Peak 918 has the highest YW EPD in the sale and ranks in the elite, genomically, for WW, YW, Doc, CW and RE. He also has EPDs in the top 1% of Non-Parent bulls for WW, YW, and CW.

​

Lot 31 ~ Herbster Settler 930 ~ 19526265

Explorer X Seedstock X Emblynette

​

The Explorer progeny, as a whole, have been lighter at birth and have explosive growth—possessing a bit more frame score and length of body than their contemporaries. Herbster Settler 930 could be the most phenotypically stunning Explorer son that Herbster Angus Farms will sell this spring. Straight in his topline and correct in his foot and leg set, he will pass on those desirable skeletal traits to his offspring. His Seedstock dam, Herbster Emblynette 737, is an ideal Angus replacement with a perfect udder. She comes from a family of cows well-known for producing superior herd bulls such as our $400,000 masterpiece, International. This combination of phenotype, growth, and carcass is a unique recipe for success! 

​

Lot 34 ~ Herbster Sundowner 925 ~ 19526263

Sundance X Sensation X Sandpoint Blackbird 8809

​

Huge-footed, squishy-pasterned, and loaded with growth, Herbster Sundowner 925 is the bull we selected as the lead-off Sundance son. He has a perfectly shaped foot with a ton of bone and a beautiful, extended front end. His 79-pound birth weight suggests his calves will come lighter, and his genomic data confirms, as his HD50K BW is a moderate 29. The second-highest weaning ratio bull calf in the 2019 Herbster Angus Farms calf crop, and the heaviest yearling weight bull at a scale-crushing 1460 pounds, Sundowner is a strapping young fellow ready to add structural correctness and growth to your future. You want to know the neatest thing about him? His mother is a daughter of our $950,000 valuation, Sensation. When you combine that with her mother, our donor, Sandpoint Blackbird 8809, the $400,000 valuation “mother of herd bulls,” you have a recipe for success! “8809” has amassed over $9 million in progeny sales to date. Bred to perform, Sundowner is a sure bet! Selling ½ semen revenue sharing interest and full possession.

Lot 40 %Sim ~ Herbster Currency 912G ~ ASA 3686435

Ruby's Currency X Innocent Man 5/8 SM 3/8 AN

​

To start off our Simmental division, Herbster Angus Farms chose to lead with Herbster Currency 906G. We have been great friends with Mike, Kay, and Dalton Hartman since we started buying superior show heifers in their female sale in the fall of 2015. One of the best cattlemen and trendsetters in the purebred cattle business, when Mike Hartman says he has a great one, you better go look at him! Currency is one of those superior sires that Mike told us about, and we gladly used him on our cows. Bald-faced with one black eye, we’ve called this bull “Jack” since he was born. Flat-shouldered, smooth-jointed, super sound, and expressively muscled, Jack has a great disposition and presents/displays/characterizes that great flash of color everyone loves in a Simmental. He’s been a definite standout his whole life. His mother is a W/C Innocent Man out of L121, a commercial angus cow in our herd. L121 is the mother of Lot 42, another great Currency son. Jack is black and polled.  This young bull had a %IMF of 5.15 with a 15.15 REA and was only carrying .19 BF. Buy him and improve your carcass traits! 

​

Lot 42 %Sim ~ Herbster Explorer 919G ~ ASA 3648768

Explorer X Innocent Man 1/2 SM 1/2 AN

​

We ran Explorer natural service on our heifers in 2019, and Herbster Explorer 919G was the resulting mating when he was used on this exciting young, purebred Simmental female. On the bottom side of the pedigree, he goes back to HPF Ms Pep 27T, a past National Western Grand Champion. “27T” is a donor in our program, beautiful in her structure, and has one whale of an udder! “919G” combines the show ring style of “27T” and the Angus carcass excellence of Explorer in a very attractive, polled, sleek-necked, great-structured package. If you are looking for a percentage bull that you can use on heifers without sacrificing that first generation, shop no further than Lot 41!

Chalice is a long-spined, sound, and thick purebred bull who ranks in the top 15% of the Simmental breed for Wean, CW, and REA.
