Cream of theCrop Success
NEW SUCCESS STORIES FOR 2013
BRUCE GLOVER has been a volume Cream of the Crop buyer and
has purchased several of the top cows and heifers. We appreciate
his confidence in our program. Last summer one of his Yellow
Jacket, COC bred heifers, that he purchased for $4500, raised a
$19,500 Carpe Diem steer this spring.
RICKY & RUSTY DAY keep shelling out great Hereford steers,
sired by Made Right. Days have been the volume buyers of his
semen. This year, their four top Made Right steers, averaged over
$20,000, with a top of $40,000. He was also out of their COC
30-06 daughter that has produced thousands, upon thousands in
progeny sales. She has produced Champion and Reserve at Fort
Worth, Champion at San Antonio and Grand at Odessa, all of
those steers were sired by Made Right.
MIKE MIMMS has purchased several COC females for his
progressive program in Hereford, TX. A Made Right daughter
purchased for $5000 has been a good investment. The fi rst
flush out of her brought $6000 and her progeny and embryos
have generated many times her initial cost. A Yellow Jacket, he
purchased in 2011, out of the 9730 donor, had an $11,700 calf
the first time out. Her embryos are also generating top dollar.
GREG KROUPA and SHANE BOYSEL purchased a full sister to
Silver Bullet (Donor #159). She continues to produce high sellers,
champions and AI sire prospects. She has a record that is second to
none and has produced over 30 time her initial $10,000 price tag.
She is still going strong today. Two of the high sellers in the 2013
Donors Unlimited at $28,000 and $8500 were sired by Freeze
Frame, a COC bull purchased by Kroupa. Also, in the same sale,
Kroupas full sister to Yellow Jacket doubled her initial $14,000
investment price in this sale. Her record is also getting long.
BRADLEY HALE of Miami, TX has been a good COC customer. We
appreciate his repeat business. He works hard and raises great
cattle. The Made Right semen and the COC females that he has
purchased have produced thousands in progeny sales and many
champions. A No Apologies sired daughter, raised by Hale, just
sold for $28,000. That heifer, herself, would pay for No Apologies
initial purchase price of $25,000. Right On, Just Right, Right
Answer and many more Made Right progeny have been produced
in the Hale program.
CHARLIE BEDNORZ raised FREAKNIQUE, the $29,000 COC bull
from a COC sire, Heat of the Moment, and COC daughter sired by
Power Alert. Charlie has been a great customer and we appreciate
getting to merchandise this young herd sire that is now owned by
SID ROBINSON. You will begin to hear more great things from this
bull. Sid has been a long time COC customer and has put together
an outstanding set of females that this bull will work great on.
RYAN and RORY WENT have been with this program since the
first female sale. They buy several females year after year. We
appreciate their business. Last year two of Rorys Charolais females,
that he purchased for $2000 each, raised a $10,200 heifer and
$7,500 steer. That’s great return. A $7,000 purchase produced an
$11,000 heifer calf. We thank them a bunch.
DAN KYLE keeps coming back and purchasing one of the best
females each year. Dan has been fl ushing his COC females and
has had several ET calves that are top sellers. His purchase of Lot
40 in the 2009 sale, produced an ET Polar Ice that won class 4
of the AOBs in the 2013 Houston Livestock show. This steer was a
popular calf with many. This cow has produced over $40,000 in
progeny sales and he has retained every one of her daughters.
MIKE and KENT SPEERS at TRI S RANCH purchased several of the
very best females in 2012 to add to their top producing herd. One
of them was Lot 252, sired by Polar Ice. She had a $10,000 calf
that sold this spring.
JASON SCHEETZ purchased a daughter of Donor 448 and a
daughter of Yellow Jacket in 2009. He paid $13,000 for half of
the Lead On x 448 and doubled the bid for full interest and full
