Hereford RanchHereford RanchWe sold our fi rst Reserve Grand Champion steer at the prestigious Houston Livestock Show in 1993. Since then we have had the honor of adding 11 more Grand or Reserve Grands and 59 Breed or Reserve Breed Champions to the list.

BRED BY: Charlie & Casey Parker SOLD BY: Black Hereford RanchShown by Caitlen Doskocil and placed by Bonham Show Cattle. This steer was out of the Cream of the Crop 385 Hoo Doo dam. Special thanks to the Parkers for letting us sell this great champion in our Cream of the Crop sale.

Grand Champion Steer 2015 Houston Livestock Show

CRAWFORD, OKLAHOMA

Welcome to our 14th Annual Cream of the Crop Production Sale.

As most of you know it has been extremely dry in Western Okla-

homa for four years. It fi nally started raining the middle of April

and we’ve had 24+ inches in the last 30 days. Thank you Lord!

Our main goal is to raise good looking, big bodied, easy keepin,

sound cattle that will in turn make our customers a good profi t. We believe

that this set is our best ever and we think you will agree. Whether you are

starting a new program or improving an existing one, there will be some-

thing for everybody. If you looking for a great donor or needing a trailer

load of solid club calf producing cows at a fair price, then join us for this

special event. We guarantee you will be glad you came. Every year there

are close to 100 head that don’t bring any more than good commercial

cattle and many will pay for themselves with their fi rst calf crop.

The bulls are plenty stout and good enough to go anywhere and help

improve your herd. Many will go on to be promoted, sell semen, and raise

champion caliber club calves and females that will advance your herd for

years down the road.

Another option, we offer our customers, is long after the sale. We would

like to help you market your offspring from our Cream of the Crop genet-

ics. This has really paid off for many of our customers by offering them a

way to sell their cattle through our female, bull and steer sales with

great results. I would like to thank my wife Gay, daughter Phylli, my new

son-in-law Tyler Roberts, my in-laws Charles and Judy Myers, Robert

John, Jacob, and Sergio for all of their hard work and long hours,

without them this outfi t wouldn’t be possible. Thank you to our

friends, family and customers that have made this sale a success.

We stand behind our cattle as good or better than anyone in the

business. If you have any questions or concerns at anytime before,

or after the sale we will be glad to assist you in any way that we

can. Thank you for your interest in our program. We appreciate

you taking time to look them over and we hope you can join us on

June 13th. If you can’t give me a call, I’ll guarantee sight unseen

purchases.

Make plans to be with us the last of October for our 11th Annual

Fall Bull Sale. 90 head of future club calf sires of all breeds.

ics. This has really paid off for many of our customers by offering them a

Champion Polled Hereford bred and sold

by us, sired by our JK Deadliest Catch

Every year there has always been at least 100 head of females that do not bring much more than sale barn price. Many can testify that there are good cattle at bargain prices all the way, throughout the entirety of this sale.

Mel Manhart purchased a $1,600 Picasso bred ET heifer out of the 623 Angus Donor. She has since then raised a Cream of the Crop, $8,500 Polar Ice bred heifer. The Texas Twister bred heifer she has in this year’s sale is one of the best we have to offer. Come early, stay late, and do your homework. It takes a good deal of time to go through 450 head the right way. There will be many in the bargain bin that will be great investments to fi t anyone’s budget.

Parker Cattle Company owned by Charlie and Casey Parker have been long time, repeat, customers of some of the very best females and bulls we have had to offer. We are proud for them for raising the Grand Champion Steer at the 2015 Houston Livestock Show. He was out of the good 385 Hoo Doo cow that they pur-chased from us. Thank you for choosing us to help market your cattle in our Cream of the Crop sales. Look for their powerful offering of females and bulls in this sale, as well as the bulls that we will be selling in our fall bull sale.

Tommy Byrd and Sid Robinson pack some of our very best back to East Texas with them every year. Davis Cattle Co. bought “Trail Boss” as a yearling for $14,000 fi rst. We then re-sold him in our 2013 Cream of the Crop Sale for $29,000 to Sid and Tommy. Their fi rst two steers we sold out of him this spring, alone brought $18,000. Wise investments lead to profi table returns. Good job Gentlemen.

Mike and Kent Speer from Tri S Ranch have had great success with their Cream of the Crop Females that they’ve purchased over the last three years. The three Troubadour, Polar Ice, and Tank daughters they purchased here in 2012 for $26,250 have produced $108,500 in progeny sales for them. Pretty darn good return on their investment. That’s our goal, to raise and sell cattle that make our customers good profi ts.

Ricky and Rusty Day have sold many champion and high selling Hereford steers. Many of which have been sired by our “Made Right” bull. Many of them, have been ET’s, out of a Cream of the Crop 30-06 daughter, that they purchased from us. She has produced several $100,000 worth of progeny and has had champions at all of the majors in Texas. They believe in her enough that she is now a part of their cloning program. Many thanks for being volume Made Right Semen Buyers. We hope our genetics keep on working for you!

Mike Mimms has been a long time Cream of the Crop customer and has bought some of the best we have to offer. Many of his Cream of the Crop genetics have highlighted his Donors Unlimited Sale. Like his Cream of the Crop H624 Made Right daughter, the COC 903W Yellow Jacket x Taz Daughter, the COC 428 full sister to Yellow Jacket and now his new COC herd sire “Red Rooster” that is out of our $200,000 producing 524 Donor. Being one of the volume buyers of Made Right semen, he has become a Hereford enthusiast, and a force to be recond with. Every Hereford lot, that sold in this year’s Donor’s Unlimited Sale, had at least one Black Hereford Ranch sire in their pedigree. There’s not a better guy, who works harder, and enjoys raising great ones as much as Mike does. We are very grateful for the confi dence he has in our program.

Raul Martinez of 5M Ranch purchased half interest in a great $39,000 Yellow Jacket daughter, who they call “African Queen.” She has now surpassed the $200,000 mark. She’s nine years old and still going strong. Her best ever is selling in this years offering.

Bradley Hale’s Herefords are hard to beat. If you study his pedigrees a lot of them are rich in Black Hereford Ranch blood. Including Made Right, Carpe Diem, Shot Gun, Cannon, Wasp, Outer Limits, Sniper, Dakota, and Bazooka. We hope our genetics continue to help in your success. Congratulations on all of your latest big wins.

Ricky Gray has been one of our best customers for years. He has been a great partner on some of our very best bulls like Yellow Jacket, Polar Ice, Banshee, Frost Proof, and Torque. He has put them to good use. The stout set of bred heifers and bulls he’s selling June 13th and this fall are living proof of how helpful a good Cream of the Crop sire can be.

Brandon Bird has assembled a group of the very best females and bulls from all over the country. We sure appreciate that he has invested in our program with confi dence. Watch for progeny from his Cream of the Crop Females and latest herd bull purchase from us, “Free Bird,” the stoutest Lead On x 410 to date.

Ernest Clark and Wade Shackelford purchased a $3,500 “Tiger” daughter as a bred heifer. She has since generated over $150,000 in sales and she has helped put Ernest on the map if you are on the hunt for high caliber Herefords.

Brandon Horn purchased his fi rst Club Calf Cow from us when he was fi rst get-ting started. The rest has been history. He has been back for more, and we wish him continued success with our genetics.

Mike Mattearue raised the 2015 Grand Champion Steer at the Nacogdoches County Show sired by his Cream of the Crop herd bull. You will hear more from this operation. Congratulations!

Bruce and Dustin Glover have bought several of our top females for their pro-gressive club calf operation over the years. We appreciate their repeat business, and congratulate their success. C

customers and friends who have done a great job with our genetics!

Jeb Skiles and Bob Beville have been the volume buyers the last two years. They are putting together a set of cows that are second to none. We are excited that they are using our genetics to create a lasting foundation for their cow herd.

Greg Kroupa has purchased several leading Cream of the Crop Females and Bulls over the years. The Cream of the Crop 159 Cow Donor he purchased for $10,000, has now produced over $300,000 in progeny. Carpe Diem and Freeze Frame, are just a few that have been wonderful investments for his program as well.

Jason Scheetz purchased a $26,000 Lead On x 448 Donor as a bred heifer. She is now over the $100,000 mark in proge-ny sales. She raised the Grand Steer at the State Fair of Texas, that is one of her most notorious sons.

Korky Wise has put together a premier cow herd, many of which are Cream of the Crop Females or daughters. He has raised champions at many of the Texas majors, not once but several times.

John Sullivan still has not seen his 2006, $8,000 half interest purchase, in what turned into the great 410 Donor. She has sur-passed the $300,000 point in sales. She is the dam of Trouba-dour and 14 of her sons have averaged $18,500 thus far. She is 11 years old and still shelling out the great ones. Check out the eight full sisters to Troubadour she has in this offering, they are special.

Brian and Dennis Kennedy have had great success, with their Cream of the Crop females and herd sires. They have produced two Reserve Grand Steers at Houston Livestock Show as well as many other champions and high sellers.

Champ Davis bought some of the best of what we had to offer from the time we started. We are thankful for the time and friendship we had with this great cattleman. His son, Neal Ray, has continued to do what Davis Cattle Co. is good at, raising the good ones. Many of the Cream of the Crop Females Champ and Neal Ray have purchased still remain in their Donor pen. Yello Repo, Easy Street and some of the best roam their pastures. Neal Ray’s offering in this sale is deep in quality and rich with our genetics. Thank you for continually believing in our program. C

DAM

This daughter of Picante is extra special! From a phenotypic standpoint, she is exceptional! Long necked,great ribbed and very correct describes this featured lot. Picante sired the Champion AOB steer at SanAntonio in 2014. Other daughters of Picante sell as Lots 109 to 122.

Most importantly, we love the dam of this heifer. Cow family counts when it comes to the success in thesemajor donor candidates. Her Maine granddam, 9730, is one of the top five most important cows ever atBlack Hereford Ranch. The success and dollars generated by 9730 have spanned over many years, andshe will continue to be seen in many of the pedigrees here.

This heifer can be mated many ways. We think that crossing her to many of the successful, higher percentageCharolais bulls will be a big hit. Females with this much look and stoutness and that are this complete arehard to find. This is a major donor candidate and one that we are certainly proud to feature.

DAM

The dam of Lot 2 was the Lot 1 bred heifer in the 2012 sale at $29,000 to Tommy Byrd. She is a daughterof Solid Gold out of a Lifeline x 524. The 524 donor has generated over $200,000 in progeny sales and isone of the most important cows to this program. 524 was the mother of Tank, Mike Mimms’ Red Roosterand 524 Gold, who sold to Rick Beard. Tank was one of the most influential sires in this program, and theCOC-produced Red Rooster is making headlines in the Mimms herd. 524 Gold was her last son and maybe the best.

The Lifeline granddam to this lot sold for $16,000 for one-half interest in a past COC sale and has done agreat job. There is a good, long line of powerful females behind this heifer.

Her sire, Blue Bayou, by Yellow Jacket, was Lot 1 in the 2011 COC Bull Sale. He had as much look, styleand quality as any bull sold through this offering. He went to Tommy Byrd.

This heifer is very complete and useful in her type and kind. She has a world of body and depth, and she issquare hipped and pretty fronted. She is also exceptional in her soundness. This is a featured heifer that willlook great at the top of any donor program. You know the success of Yellow Jacket and his daughters.There is a lot of predictability in these cattle.

DAM

The two heifers that sell as Lots 3 and 4 are full sisters to the popular Peaches, who sold for $24,000 for halfinterest in the 2013 Cream of the Crop into the Brandon Bird program. They are daughters of Donor 8533,owned by John Graves and originating at Duello’s. 8533 has generated four calves in two years that haveaveraged $23,500 in COC sales. She has a good Talk Back bull at side now that will turn some heads nextfall. In addition, she produced two Man Among Boys steer calves that sold for $20,000 each last year.

We think this pair of heifers is extra special. There isn’t a great deal of difference between them. Early visitorshave been quick to find these two. They are extremely sound, correct and super stout in their muscle patternand rib shape.

Either of these heifers would be a powerful addition to lead any program. They are stout enough to raise aherd bull, or they will generate top show prospects.

Troubadour has a big presence in this sale offering. His daughters are generating champions and makingexcellent cows. Very little semen is left on Troubadour, and it is currently commanding close to $300 per unit.Nearly 40 daughters or granddaughters of Troubadour sell in this offering, beginning on page 50 with Lot 43.

ET full sister sells as Lot 134. A maternal brother and sale feature sells as Lot 455 to lead off the bull offering.

Here’s a heifer that comes from a long line of great, successful and show winning genetics. Her famed dam,African Queen, has been the highest selling female of all time in the Cream of the Crop Sales at $39,000 forone-half interest; she sold to the 5M program in Texas. In 2012, African Queen produced eight full sibs to thisheifer that generated over $160,000 in a single flush to average $20,000 each. Other progeny of this greatdonor dam have made a big impact here and in other herds.

9630 is the great looking Full Throttle granddam. She is the second favorite, best made cow I have owned...second only to the 008 great-granddam, who is my all-time favorite, best looking cow ever to walk ourpastures.

We think a great deal of this red heifer. She looks a lot like her dam and has a hip and front end that justwon’t quit. Study the style and the structure of this heifer. They don’t make them like this very often. She hasa stout hip and big top to go along with her quality and design.

Here is one of the best future donor candidates to sell. She should be extra impressive come sale day.

Lot 10 is a full sister to Troubadour, No Spin Zone and Free Bird, some of the highest selling bulls of all time out of theCream of the Crop sales. Eight more flush mates to this lot sell as Lots 32 through 39. In the past year, 12 brothers tothis mating have averaged over $18,500 and have sold into many leading programs.

The only two full sisters to this lot are at work in the Voboril and Kennedy herd and have had tremendous success intheir donor pen. Both females were high selling lots in past COC sales and have made as good looking, greatuddered cows as you will see anywhere.

The famed dam of these lots is Donor 410. She sold for $8,000 for half interest in a past COC sale to John Sullivanand has to date generated over $300,000 in progeny sales.

In addition to the full sisters that sell, three three-quarter sisters in blood to Troubadour sell as Lots 40 through 43.

This line of cattle has as much quality, style and look as any higher percentage Charolais cattle in the country. Theyhave the hip structure, the outline and the presence that is hard to find in many cattle.

Lot 10 is a special individual and one that will be easy to find in these featured heifers. All of these sisters are springborn and were on stalks all winter. They were a little greener at photo time but will be sure to impress on sale week.They are valuable breeding pieces and ones to give high consideration to if you are looking for a big-time donor dam.

TROUBADOUR

Donor 9970 (dam of Lots 40 through 42) and her daughter 410 (dam of Lots 10 and 32 through 38) are two females that havemade a huge impact. 9970, the grandam of Troubadour, is the Casper x Sugar Ray/Epinal that is the mother of 410. In her prime,9970 was one of the coolest looking, stoutest cows in existence. We are still flushing her at the age of 16, and she raised a naturalcalf last year.

The 9970 daughter 410, sired by the purebred Charolais bull WG, was purchased by John Sullivan in the 2006 Cream of theCrop Sale for $8,000 for half interest and to date has produced over $300,000 in progeny sales. Her most famed son isTroubadour, who sired the 2014 San Antonio Grand Steer and several other major champions. However, it appears that thedaughters of Troubadour may end up having the biggest say! In just the last year, 12 full brothers to the heifers selling on page 48averaged $18,500. The only other two full sisters to Troubadour to date sold for $15,000 and $20,000 to Kennedy Bros. andKenny Voboril; they both have made extraordinary looking cows with great udders—two of the best looking you’ll see anywhere.

The influence of Yellow Jacket and George

YELLOW JACKET

Yellow Jacket continues to impress himself upon this industry, 13 years after he was born. Not many bulls have that kindof staying power in this business. He sired an $82,000 bull sold in the Reimann dispersal as well as several other highselling progeny just this past year. He has been on the top or bottom side of many champions across the country. Bothhis daughters and his sons have won major championships. He was out of one of the first Hoo Doo females on thisplace, “Phylli,” who generated over $100,000 in sales for us. Yellow Jacket and his one-of-a-kind dam are the only twoanimals we have cloned.

George, bred in this herd, is straight Hoo Doo genetics. George was named after Hoo Doo’s manager, who wasresponsible for much of the breeding and its success on that ranch. The opposite page contains a good set of femalessired by these genetics.

Terms of Ms Voodoo 6017 Flush

• Seller guarantees a minimum of six embryos by the bullof the buyer’s choice. Any embryos produced over eightwill be split evenly between the buyer and seller.

• Seller guarantees at least two pregnancies if transferredby a certified embryologist that we agree to.

• Semen and all expenses associated with the flush will bepaid for by the buyer.

• Flush will take place at Shaffer’s Ranch in Carthage,MO.

• We will work with you on getting them put in fresh orcan freeze and ship wherever you need them.

• If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to call and talkwith Kris about this exciting opportunity!

Fire Water progeny have dominated the Charolais breed’s show ring for several years. Kate Shaffer showed this amazing

heifer in 2014, when she was the winningest heifer in the country. We believe that she is the most perfect made Fire Water

daughter in existence. Her dam is our high earning Hoo Doo Z6017 donor cow, who has produced over $250,000 in

progeny sales and is the stoutest registered Hoo Doo cow ever. Her most distinguished son is Camp Cooley’s “Smart

Choice.” Daughters that she has produced have been high sellers several times, bringing from $15,000 to $40,000.

Voodoo’s winning streak began at the 2013 Regional Classic at Sedalia, MO, then Reserve Grand at the Missouri State

Fair, then 2013 Grand Champion, Kansas City American Royal, and then from there she went on to the National Western

in Denver, where she was Grand in the Junior Show and National Reserve Grand in the Open Show. Congratulations to

the Shaffer family of Carthage, MO, on a job well done! It took a lot of arm twisting, but I talked Kate into offering a flush

on this very special cow. She will calve before sale day and should be ready to flush by August 1, 2015.

Kris hand picked this stout Milkman daughter when she was a calf for Phylli to show her senior year. Shehas turned into a super producing, good looking mature cow. In 2013, she produced a $24,000 Red Roostersteer; her 2014 calf got hurt, or he would have been one of the best we had to offer this spring. A daughterby Exacto sells as Lot 57.

This is one of the stoutest females you will see this weekend. She has a powerful hip and hind leg and lots oflook and style to go along with her power. She also has a lot of rib shape and flank to be as cool and stoutas she is. She is sound and has made a real good mother.

Lot 375 has been tested THC. She sells serviced to Business Done Right and was cleaned up with the$18,000 full brother to Troubadour that sold in last year’s June sale to Robert Vallejo. She was also exposedto the #4 George son. She has never been flushed, and we are reserving the right to partner on two flushesout of this great cow.

Lot 376 is the dam of the successful “No Apologies” bull that was a high seller in the Fall 2010 Cream of theCrop Bull Sale at $25,000 to Bradley Hale. No Apologies has generated some top sellers and has sired manygood, complete females that are making good cows.

This good looking cow sold as Lot 1 in the June 2008 Cream of the Crop Sale and had No Apologies as herfirst calf. She has been a leading producer for Safari Cattle Company and is a great egg producer, averaging10 to 12 eggs per flush. Over 10 calves have sold for an average of over $6,500 in the Cream of the CropSales. In 2011, she produced a calf by Heat Wave that was second in Class 4 crossbreds at Fort Worth.

This straight Hoo Doo bred female was one of the best looking and biggest bodied females to ever sell in aCream of the Crop offering. She will be ready to flush this fall after she calves to the $16,000 Talk Back, siredby Troubadour. This is a top donor opportunity and a great cow that could headline any ET program. A COCHoo Doo female raised this year’s Houston Grand Champion Steer and Champion Simmental. Thesegenetics are proven.

The fall-calving cow herd in the successful and nationally known Ryan Went program sells in its entirety in thissale offering on June 13th. Ryan was set to have a sale in July before he and Kris made the decision to sellthem all right here. This set of cows has produced many high sellers that have sold right out of the pasture atWents’. They have the body and power that Wents are known to produce. Many of these cows have daughtersin the spring program there, and other daughters have topped their February cow sales. Take a close lookhere! They are mated and AI serviced to generate big return this fall. Ryan and Jan will be at the sale and willbe glad to visit with you about any of these cattle! This is a super stout set and a great addition to this excitingweekend.

This great daughter of Paddy raised a steer calf that sold for $9,000 right out of the pasture at Wents’. Shehas been flushed once to Heat Wave and produced a $10,200 steer. A real stout heifer is at work in thespring program. More calves out of this featured cow will be born at Wents’ this coming fall in their recipherd.

This stout cow is one of Ryan’s favorite females. She raised a $12,500 son of Monopoly. A daughter sold inthe spring Went female sale for $9,000, and another daughter is in production at the ranch. She also raiseda Heat Wave steer that sold for $7,500 right out of the pasture.

This daughter of Paddy will be a sale feature. She is goose necked and has a huge, powerful hip. She is inher prime and would be a valuable addition to any ET program.

The Went females were either AI serviced or they ran with Gold Rush for most of their pasture exposure.Ryan feels like most of these females should calve to their AI date where listed. Red Dirt, Color Me Upand Smoke N Mirrors cleaned up some of the cows for two weeks at the end of their pasture exposure.

DAM

We have a powerful lot to lead off the bull offering for this sale. This son of one of the hottest sires inAmerica, Man Among Boys, has a great deal of potential. We think he has AI sire marketability, and he willbe a powerful herd bull that can generate high selling steers or major champions in any program.

If you are looking for a herd bull backed by a great dam, this is one for serious consideration. His fameddam, African Queen, has been the highest selling female of all time in the Cream of the Crop sales at$39,000 for one-half interest. She sold to the 5M program in Texas. In 2012, African Queen produced eightmaternal sibs to this bull that generated over $160,000 in a single flush to average $20,000 each. AfricanQueen has generated over $200,000 in progeny. Other progeny of this great donor dam have made a bigimpact here as well as in other herds. The grandam to this bull, a daughter of Full Throttle, was one of thebest looking cows ever at Black Hereford Ranch. Kris stated, “9630 is the second favorite, best made cowI have owned...second only to the 008 great-granddam, who is my all-time favorite, best looking cow everto walk our pastures.”

This bull is one of the very best for today’s market and certainly one of the best bulls to ever sell out of theCream of the Crop sales. Lot 455 is as stout and wide as they come. He has a great, square hip, a big topand a perfect hind leg. He is up headed and good necked and has the same look and style possessed byhis great dam. God doesn’t make them like this one very often. Two maternal sisters sells as Lots 5 and 134,sired by Texas Twister.

Maturity and PerseveranceOf all that I have learned, or have noticed in the past years, one or two certain things stick out in my mind. The trend of offering large groups of bred heifers,

in club calf female sales, has become one of tradition. As sellers of this age of cattle, raised in this environment, we let go of many bred heifers that prove to

be worth much more than their sale price. I suspect this reoccurring happening lends itself to maturity and the ability of a buyer to recognize the difference in

a young female vs. a more mature one. Year after year, I see younger, less developed cattle sell way under sale average and turn around to be some of the

best in the business. The ability to evaluate cattle skeletally, based on age and condition, and not compare them to more mature livestock is important. This

is not easy to do, and the people who are really good at it have been doing it a long time.

The other thing that I have learned over time is the ability of a buyer to stick with it and persevere through the trials of proving the worth of seedstock. Cattle

are not like other livestock in regards to gestation period—it just takes more time for all of this to happen. It can take several years for a cow to prove herself.

I have seen people enter this business, buy a great cow and get discouraged only after one year. Many times in these situations, the cow usually ends up

proving herself, only after the buyer has traded her off.

I am proud to still be involved with the Cream of the Crop after fourteen years. It has been fun to see this operation grow and these cow families develop.

For as much as things have changed, the goal here has stayed the same, and this family is as good an example as any for perseverance and truly believing

in what you are producing. Take the time to visit the offering…it will be a rewarding experience and one that you will enjoy.

Over the years, honesty in photography has been a big subject. Photography is an artwork to me. I do not possess the desire to make every image perfect,

and the imperfections in the photo tell as much of a story as the perfect images do. If we learn to study the structure and dimension of an animal, the need

for an “always appealing image” will go away. The photos that grace these pages are “as is.” April is the end of winter in this country, and these cattle are

just starting to heal from the environment. To me, these pictures simply tell a story. We were fortunate this year to have record rainfall

and green grass in the picture pen. Study these cattle closely. Kris taught me about structure and type in cattle as much as anyone.

The hip, the balance and the dimension of these genetics are second to none, and they are a result of many years of breeding.
