Welcome to the sale! 

On behalf of the Hainy,Vanhove and Swanson team, welcome to their Seventh Annual Dakota Classic Production Sale.There is 

a tremendous amount of club calf history at the root of these operations, and I am certainly proud to represent these farming 

and ranching families that have such a powerful reputation. 

This set of females will be, without question, one of the most impressive sets to sell at auction this season.There is a tremendous 

amount of maternal ability, in addition to power, in this big-time set of donor prospects and foundation building cows. 

The females that sell in this offering will earn many times their auction price down the road. They are the 

right kind and are backed by a great set of people. Early visitors to the offering have been blown away by the quality and the 

depth in this set of cows and bred heifers. Make plans to visit, or view them online. 

The cattle are available for viewing online on the Dakota Classic sale page at www.ccollinsinc.com. Please call anytime 

with buying assistance or for questions on the cattle.We can easily assist and help arrange trucking to Midwestern and 

Southern states; just give us a call immediately after the sale. 

On sale day, if you would like to be on the phone during the auction, please call 

or text Christy one to two hours prior to auction time at (516) 366-0734.

BREEDING GUARANTEE 

All females are sold under the condition “safe in calf” as attested to by a licensed veterinarian and sell with no further guarantee. The ultrasound 

results reported are as accurate as possible but are not guaranteed. No guarantee is given that bred females will deliver a live calf. 

NOTE ABOUT PREGNANCYTESTING 

Careful consideration was given when selecting the cattle for the sale offering in reference to A.I. service. We feel that the majority of the cattle 

selling are safe to their A.I. date or the approximate due date that is given. Please make sure that you do not confuse A.I. service date with 

approximate due date. Some of the females that were only exposed to the pasture sires are given an approximate due date in correlation with the 

vet examination. While we cannot guarantee A.I. service, we feel that a large part of the offering is A.I. safe. Additional pregnancy testing will be 

available on the sale supplement sheet.

Service: A.I. 7/8 Monopoly. P.E. 7/9 to 8/11 to Damage Control. Due approx. 4/16. 

• Selling one-half embryo interest and full possession. 

• Lot 1 is one of the most powerful Charolais-cross donor cows to sell anywhere in the country this 

year.She is right on target for major club calf production and sells A.I.serviced to Monopoly. 

• 623 is big backed,square hipped and one of the biggest ribbed,deepest sided females you will 

see anywhere.In addition to her power,she is long fronted and thin necked.Rob added this 

young cow to the sale as a featured addition.She will fit right into the program of any major 

club calf producing herd or E.T.program.If you want power and Charolais influence,you 

won’t find a better donor dam.

LoΩ 2 

Vanhove Comfort S651 

Tag S651 • BWF • 2006 

Sire: Southern Comfort (Witch Doctor) • Dam: J356 (Meyer 734 x Maine/Angus) 

Service: A.I. 6/29 Monopoly. P.E. 7/2 to 8/13 to DCC Looker son. Due approx. 4/7. 

• Lot 2 has a special story.She was a featured female in an earlier Dakota Classic catalog as a bred 

heifer.She had generated lots of attention that year.Unfortunately,she calved just before the sale, 

and Roger made the decision to keep her back and offer her again,down the road,as a young cow. 

She has built a great track record in her short time in production,including a $5,000 HeatWave 

steer sold to Bonham. 

• This is a power cow with lots of hip,bone and substance.Pay attention here!This pedigree is potent, 

and her mating to Monopoly could more than pay for her purchase price.The Southern Comfort 

daughters can be found in some of the leading club calf producing herds across the country.This is one 

of the best Maine-Sim donor candidates to sell anywhere this year.This one’s going to make money.

Hainy Whiskey S637 

Tag S637 • Black • 2006 

Sire: Irish Whiskey (BK Ice Pick) • Dam: Hainy G718 Angus (DHD Traveler 6807) 

Service: A.I. 7/1 Werewolf (Heat Wave x Whiplash). P.E. 7/8 to 8/20 to Chill Factor son. 

• Selling one-half embryo interest with the option to double the bid for full interest and full possession. 

• Full sister to Lot 4. 

• Rob and Roger argued about whether or not to sell this cow.If you want a powerful Maine-influenced 

donor or daughter of IrishWhiskey to add to your lineup,this may be one of the bestWhiskey daughters 

that I have ever sold.Using the word“power”in describing this female is an understatement! She’s extra 

long fronted and has one of the biggest,flattest hips you can find in any young producing cow. 

• This donor dam will likely calve to her pasture sire and will be ready to flush this spring.Leading 

breeders are aware of the success of HeatWave and HeatWave sons onWhiskey-bred females.This cow, 

with a little management,could make farm payments…she’s that good!Watch the video to see these 

females move;they are sound and functional and ready to go to work. 

• The dam of Lots 3 and 4 was raised in the Hainy program.Roger was a pioneer in the use of 6807. 

Some tremendous daughters of this great Angus bull roamed the Hainy pastures at the beginning 

of 6807’s successful career.

Service: A.I. 6/22 Smilin Bob. P.E. 7/8 to 8/20 to Chill Factor son. Safe to A.I., due 3/31. 

• Full sister to Lot 3. 

• Here’s another cow that Roger is partial to.Like Lot 3,this is a power cow and a leading donor prospect. 

Rob stated,“This cow may have been the most impressive this summer.”If you sorted all of theWhiskey 

daughters in this offering into one pen,you would have a hard time telling them apart.They are that 

consistent and complete,all built the same way! 

• R509 is moderate in her frame size,has a ton of body depth,is good boned and powerful hipped.She’s 

complete,extra sound in her hock and moves good.She would make a great addition to any progressive 

donor program in any part of the country.I can tell you that Rob and Roger are concerned about adding 

this much power and this many great cows to the front end of this sale.It is a risk to offer a female like 

this that has so much profit-generating potential.Take advantage of this offering.

Service: A.I. 6/30 Monopoly. P.E. 7/2 to 8/11 to Damage Control. Safe to A.I., due 4/8.

greatVanhove-bred daughter of Fullback,the Angus sire that has left many great producing daughters. 

• 753 is another female that is ready for a major embryo producing herd.She has the ability to generate

• Intense Plus was the PHAF son of Legacy Plus out of Ice Pick’s dam that was produced in the Buck 

Cattle Company herd in Oklahoma.Intense Plus was used minimally,but he has generated some 

daughters in the club calf business that continue to surface and be top producers and top sellers. 

• S666 is another cow right off the top of the Hainy program.She is a good outlined,nice profiling cow 

that is square made and smooth fronted.She is super deep and big ribbed with lots of top.This is one 

of the nicest designed cows in the sale.Pay attention here—we have heard lots of good reports on the 

success of Intense Plus daughters in several leading herds.This is a Maine-influenced female,and 

good Maine pedigreed cattle are hard to come by,especially with a pedigree like S666 has.
