In 2008 we decided to produce a bull that possesses all of the best traits from herd sires of the past and the result was abull called BEA Backtrack 801U, which was syndicated in the 2009 National Sale. The offspring of this bull do not disappoint;they may be the most consistent and uniform sire group to date. His daughters are functional, loaded with rip shape, muscleexpression and are easy fleshing (see Lot 15) and the bulls are well balanced, stout and powerful. BABR On Track 101Y isa combination of everything “Backtrack” and is our most complete son from this sire group. His natural depth and rib shapeis comparable to past greats such as Kaiser and Traitmaker. He combines smoothness of lines, a big stout hip and a soundfoot with the strong maternal traits of his 11 year old dam. Dam LCC Prospector K8043 is a producer and consistently raisesone of the heaviest calves on the ranch year after year while maintaining a Milk EPD of 28. On Track weaned off at animpressive 777 lbs on grass alone. This is a cow that plain and simply just gets it done and this young herd bull prospect istruly “On Track” to be a real world red purebred Gelbvieh bull. 2011 Fall EPDs: CE 104; BW 1.9; WW 41; YW 70; M 25; TM46; GL -1.5; CED 101; SC 0.5; CW 7; RE 0.13; MB 0.02; DtF 1.4; CV 9.27 and FM 1.84.

Breeders, if you are searching for a breed changer you definitely need to checkout this massively madehomozygous polled purebred beef machine. JRI Trump 270W13B is one of the heaviest muscled bulls youwill find in any breed and I am here to tell you he is as long as a freight train. It is rare to find this type of beefand extension in one complete package with the structural correctness and flawless eye appeal Trumppossesses. Like all Judd Ranch genetics Trump is well endowed in the scrotal department with a 40.1centimeter yearling scrotal circumference and he scanned a super sized 14.6 square inch yearling ribeye.This fall born diluter-free beef machine should flat boost your performance levels as he weaned off hissecond calf dam at a whopping 950 pounds. 2011 Fall EPDs: CE 109; BW 1.3; WW 43; YW 80; M 15; TM 37; GL -1.6; CED 101; SC 1.2; CW 8; RE -0.04; MB -0.07; DtF 5.6; CV 3.67 and FM 13.78.

Bar None Ranch and S & S Gelbvieh have combined to offer a special

pick for the 2012 National Sale. This year’s opportunity includes the pick

from all of the 2011 born calves or an opportunity to flush one of the 15

plus proven donors.

The 2011 born calves are a truly exciting group. Never before have we

had the quality and consistency that was achieved in 2011. Included are

numerous ET calves from our top donors. No 2011 born calf is being

held back. Included are ET full sibs to Bar None Captain 42X who

brought $15,250 for 50% interest. ET calves by EGL Pearl L023

(daughter of EGL Phoebe and grand dam of the $28,750 EGL Lock and

Load X415) and HAD Sugar 446J (powerful outcross Gelbvieh donor)

will certainly be hard to choose from. Many of our donors have calved

in the fall, 2011 and their natural calves will be offered as well. A large

group of Maverick natural born and ET progeny will make the selection

process even more challenging. Most every 2011 calf is homozygous

polled. We only ask to keep 50% semen interest if a male is selected

or the right to one flush if a female is selected. A complete list of the

2011 born calves are available.

If the buyer chooses, a flush from any S & S Gelbvieh or Gelbvieh Bar

None donors may be selected. Ten transferable embryos are

guaranteed with additional embryos resulting from the flush being made

available for purchase at a prorated price. Five pregnancies will be

guaranteed if the embryologist is certified and agreed upon. An

additional frozen embryo will be provided for each pregnancy less than

five to satisfy the guarantee. These ladies are time honored breeding

pieces that have elevated our program to the level of quality we enjoy

today. We look forward to sharing our best with you. A complete listing

of donors and their accomplishments are available. Buyer must decide

on selecting the 2011 calf or a flush at the fall of the gavel on sale day.

Vaughn Thorstenson has opened the gates for you to pick from his

2011 heifer calves or 2010 bred heifers. The Thorstenson family has

two decades. Thorstenson’s annual bull sale commands one of the

genetics for both the purebred and commercial cowman. Vaughn and

his family have always offered cutting edge genetics and these heifers

will have been feed efficiency tested through Thorstenson’s Grow Safe

system. The buyer may make their selection from 250 heifer calves

(2011) and 100 bred heifers(2010). Thorstenson Lazy TV Ranch

utilizes an extensive AI program and many of their pasture sires are

breed leading AI sires, so the heifers in this offering are all out the elite

sires in the industry. Breeders, this is one tremendous opportunity as

Thorstenson Lazy TV Ranch rarely sells any females, let alone letting

you pick from their entire 2011 & 2010 heifer calf crops. And Vaughn

noted sisters to breed leading A.I. sires TV Sam U451 and Lazy TV

pampered as they are genetic packages bred to forage for themselves and any females that don’t getpregnant and raise a big ol’ strapping calf are history. If you have followed Cedar Top Ranch’s breed leadingprogram, you already know they have not had a female production sale for twenty-plus years. By keepingall these great females, Cedar Top Ranch annually has one of the top bull sales in the country and breeders,they sell 250+ bulls annually. January 8th you will have the opportunity to purchase your pick of Cedar TopRanch’s 400 plus 2011 open heifer calves or Cedar Top’s 150 replacement bred heifers. I might add CedarTop Ranch started an intensive AI program in 1965 and nobody in the breed AI’s more females on anannual basis than Cedar Top and the vast majority of these heifers will be AI sired.

Sound functional genetics are the cornerstone at BarArrow Cattle Co. and breeders, when you make yourliving in the short grass country of western Kansasyour cattle have to be sound and functional to thrive.Bar Arrow Cattle Co annually ranks in the top 20 forregistrations and Bar Arrow also runs a boatload ofcommercial females, so they flat know what type ofgenetics are needed for today’s industry to turn aprofit. Bar Arrow takes it a step further as they feedand finish a lot of their progeny and this truebreeding program is reaping the rewards in thefeedlot and on the rail. Bar Arrow’s focus is on the commercial cow/calf sector of the beef industry so theyhave concentrated their efforts on the National Pen Bull Show in Denver. Over the last six years Bar Arrowhas shown six National Champion or Reserve National Champion Pen of 3 Bulls and note their powerfulset of beef machines that swept 2011 National Champion Pen of 3 Balancer Bull honors. Breeders, here is your opportunity to buy into one of the great Gelbvieh/Balancer breeding programs andyou can select your next herdsire or donor female from over 100 heifer calves and 100 plus bulls.

CRAN Vanessa X061 ET, is Andrew’s (Rob Arnold’s son) show heifer and she is as beautiful as you can make them. In my opinion,she is as complete as they come no matter how you analyze her. Her EPD's allow any breeder a lot of flexibility in either a breedup program, a Balancer program or both. Phenotypically, she is the best female Cranview has ever raised. She is bred to their newyoung herdsire "CRAN X176 ET Opportunity" for a mid February calf. He is a homozygous black / homozygous polled Aberdeenson out of EGL Tiarra T003 whom Rob purchased in the 2009 National Sale from Eagle Pass. Along with his excellent phenotype,he has an impressive Igenity profile where he scored 6 on Tenderness, 7’s on RFI, Marbling, % choice, Yld grade, Stayability, andDocility.
