Welcome

to our third Burlap and Barbed Wire female sale. We are excited to bring you this offering. These females represent the top cut from our individual herds and are sound, functional, profitable females that know how to work for a living. As always, we have a shared commitment to integrity and a vision of the importance of proven maternal value. Each of us goes about it in a slightly different way, but the focus is the same: build a better cow, and the rest will take care of itself.

This year’s sale offering again includes Simmental, SimAngus™, and Angus, along with a few Simmental x Hereford calves. There are fall and summer pairs, spring and fall opens, and spring breds. Because of our unwavering belief in selection for proven maternal traits without regard to the current popular bulls, you will find pedigrees at this sale which are complete outcross to many of the most popular lines of bulls. The mating flexibility provided by these outcross genetic packages presents a tremendous opportunity. You may notice fewer of the offering from Dixson Farms than last sale. Because they have the opportunity to expand their operation, they are retaining females that would have come to this sale. The summer pairs they brought are cows that will give someone a quick return on investment.

Whether you are looking for your next donor, a junior project, or just an honest, hard working female for your herd, take a good look at this offering and plan to be with us on Monday, Oct. 12th. If you can’t be with us on Monday, feel free to contact any of the breeders or sale staff, and we will assist you in whatever way possible.

Due 10/2/2015 to Hoosier (ASA# 2110803) Maternal sister to Lot 3. 147Z is from a solid cow family that traces back to the old LBR Right Dream cow. If we hadn’t successfully flushed this female last fall, we would not be offering her for sale. We really appreciate her depth, fleshing ability and structural soundness. A calf by Hoosier will be icing on the cake. 147Z deserves to be a front pasture donor.

as well as many others. Her Xpectation heifer calf gives the buyer the potential for two donors in one package. If you want to talk numbers, she is in the top 10% of the breed for growth and has above average calving ease and birth weight EPDs. Be sure to view her video and mark her as one to watch on sale day. A93 has been flushed.

Maternal sister to Lot 2. A 27 will catch your eye and keep it. Her pedigree makes her a bit of an outcross. Conquest is a sure-fire bull to make halfbloods, so this calf is bound to be a good one.

Maternal sister to Lots 16 and 26. 166A offers a complete and total outcross for your black program. Here’s a challenge: try to figure out where the black comes from in this pedigree! 166A is correct and eye appealing, with a perfect udder. Her whiteface Bismarck bull calf means a quick return on your investment. Another female that we are selling only because she was successfully flushed. Her growth EPDs rank in the top 5% of the breed.

Neat package with a pedigree that includes great animals on both sides. 4589 is a favorite of ours as she is very thick and moderate in size. Tough to let go of, as she is the kind to keep. Bred to Connealy Thunder 3-15-15. Vet examined safe AI. (Also exposed to Burgmans NPV 4775 and Burgmans Final Answer 4193J.)

We flushed 3B this spring so it’s a bit easier to part with her. Solid cow family. Her API is in the top 5% of the breed. Huge spread from calving ease to yearling weight. Her full brothers have been great sellers for us and her Shear Force calf should be money in the bank.

Like Lot 29, this is one of the first Redemption sired breds (Red SimAngus) to sell. He really crosses well on Simmental, as you can see from this heifer. 52B is a well-rounded heifer with a well-rounded EPD profile. Lots of capacity. Lot 14 has a High Stakes calf on the ground if you want to see the type of calf 52B is carrying.

We decided to introduce Hereford genetics for several reasons, including efficiency, docility and a white face. 38C multiplies the efficiency built into her dam.

Maternal sister to Lot 57. 20C is a really, really tough one to let go of. If we had a whole herd of females exactly like this, we wouldn’t mind a bit. We flushed her Olie dam this Spring and she bred right back. The granddam is both Fleckvieh and Vanessa influenced and comes from Bois D’Arc Land & Cattle in Texas. With her pedigree, EPD profile and phenotype, your breeding options for this female are extremely versatile. 20C is a nice quiet heifer as well. (20C and her momma grace the back of the catalog)

This heifer ranks in the top 3 % for BW EPD in the Angus breed. She could be an asset to produce low birth weight bulls. 5655 has performed well in a no frills atmosphere --her dam always gets the job done without much of any outside help.

Thick, quality heifer out of the Rita cow family. This heifer would be a definite keeper for us if not for the sale. Her dam and granddam were both top cows in our herd.AAA 1819828

The Susanna family caught our eye on trips to the Beartooth Ranch in MT. We purchased 5640’s granddam (108M) in their dispersal. 108M was a great producer for us without a lot of added inputs. 5640 should be of similar kind.

A favorite of ours since she was born. 5648 is wide-topped and exhibits depth of muscle in a stylish package. This heifer is the kind we like to keep. Dam 7495 is a deep bodied, moderate-sized cow with an excellent udder.

Dixson Farms SimmentalsDixson Farms Inc. is located in the far northwest corner of Kansas, southwest of Atwood, and is owned and operated by siblings Kevin, Carol, and Lyle Dixson. The Simmental program was started in 1995 with a breed up program with additional registered females added along the way. The cowherd now consists of a nucleus herd that calves in Febru-ary-March, and a non-traditional summer calving herd. These May-June calving

cows are managed as a low input herd and expected to graze year round. Our focus has always been producing better females with particular emphasis on fertility, fleshing ability, disposition, feet, and legs. In addition, we market 40-50 yearling and two year-old bulls annually to commercial operations. Kevin retired

from teaching and is now a full-time pastor. His wife Abbi is also retired from teaching. They have 3 grown daughters: Kinsey, Kylie, and Kaedra. Carol is a 5th and 6th grade teacher in Oberlin. Lyle is a part-time veterinarian and part-time pharmacist. His wife, Alisha, and their 4 children -- Brenan (14), Braxton (10), Beckett (7) and Brecklyn (4) -- are very active participants in the cattle program.

Burgman FarmsBurgman Farms consists of David and Jane Burgman and our children, Jada (15) and Brock (10), and our cattle and horses. We have a mixed operation of registered and commercial Angus which are managed together. Because we all four work together (and oftentimes only Jane, Jada, and Brock accomplish the livestock duties), our cattle have to be easy to handle and gentle, besides being

productive, honest cows. Quality ud-ders, disposition, calf performance, and fertility are traits that we place a heavy emphasis on when selecting females for our herd. Each year we rely heavily on crop residue and/or dormant grass, and generally feed a lot of wheat straw as roughage in the winter. Over the years,

our program has shifted marketing our cattle. We now primarily sell spring calves off the cow at weaning in early September. Due to this change, we do not collect weaning weights since we no longer run the entire herd through the chutes. Please do not let this dissuade you, as our calves still perform and offer the same solid genetic material as before.

Hofmann Simmental Farms (Rodney & Kim) began in 1979 when Rodney first started raising Simmentals. Our pro-gram, which is total AI and ET, is based upon using proven AI sires with partic-ular emphasis placed on calving ease and maternal traits. Optimum growth and disposition are also given high priority. To us, good beef cattle are cattle that do their job, regardless of their color or

purebred status. We strive for a cow herd that produces quality bulls and females for commercial cattlemen and purebred breeders alike. Our bulls are market-ed off the farm in the spring through a unique, buyer-friendly sale. Our cull stock has been marketed through several different venues over the years. We have fed both on the farm and in

custom feedlots, always selling through a value-based grid. We have also sold through the local barn, just as some of our commercial bull buyers do. These experiences have provided invaluable knowledge about how our cattle perform and sell. We are increasingly experi-menting with alternative forages in this day of higher input costs and limited availability of grass.
