W elcome to the first edition of DreamWorks, and thank you for your consideration of what we believe to be one of the highest quality sets of of Simmental and Angus genetics available for your appraisal. This inaugural sale has been many years in the making. Careful selection of sires for use in artificial insemination and cleanup roles, coupled with rigorous culling has resulted in a premier herd of highly productive cattle. Now, for the very first time, we have opened the gates to our bred and open replacement heifer pens for you to select from the cream of the crop. We expect a lot of our cows at NFF. Fertility. Fleshing ability. Feet and udders that last. Each year the calves deemed not to be of seedstock quality go to Iowa Corn Beef, owned and operated by Matt and Jordan Nelson, for finishing where they are monitored closely so that under performing genetic lines can be removed. Equally as important is that our cattle exhibit a phenotype that pleases the eye. While we realize that not every one is meant to be a show heifer, our females are selected heavily for balance and femininity. Through all of this selection pressure we ve identified a number of cow families that have set themselves apart from the rest and become the cornerstones of our herd. It s a formidable task, but each year we choose only the most elite of these females to be utilized in our embryo transfer program. This technology allows us to stack the deck in our favor and in turn, deliver to customers our most potent genetics in volume every year. One thing you will not see in this catalog is any retained embryo interest. In fact, each and every female listed is selling in her entirety and we won t even withhold a single flush. This is certainly not because we don t think these females are worthy. Quite the contrary, we feel many of them have the potential to go on to be great donors. But they are intended to be your donors, not ours. Rest assured that if and when you choose to make those genetics available for purchase again we will be waiting at the front of the line to support your program, but your new acquisitions will be totally yours and free of any complications from us. A select group of the open heifers have been entered in the open show on the hill at the NWSS so that their new owners may show them in Denver if they would like. Also, it s going to be an exciting summer for our juniors as both the Simmental and Angus Junior National shows will be returning to the upper midwest in 2018. We feel that the show prospects offered in this sale all have the potential to be successful at a high level. We look forward to hearing the reports and seeing photos of your new purchases around the show circuit, and please let us know if there is anything we can do to help you on your way to the backdrop! The bred females offered at DreamWorks all sell safe with an A.I. sired calf. By performing an ultrasound on our replacements 70-100 days after artificial breeding we were able to determine with certainty which females had settled A.I. and sex almost all of the pregnancies. We have included all of this data in the catalog so that our customers can make an informed decision when making their selections. We have a strict policy at NFF: if we know something, you will know also. Also selling at DreamWorks will be 50+ open commercial cows nursing August-November calves. We sourced them as pregnant cows out of the west this spring and calved them out on grass this summer and fall. These young, sound females will make excellent recipient candidates for their new owners. They have been managed at a high level alongside cows receiving NFF embryos so regardless whether you choose to use them in a fall or spring calving rotation know that all the chute work will be done and they will be ready to go to work for you. We are fortunate to be partnered with some of the best breeders in the business. We are proud to say that those great partners have become great friends and we appreciate their continuing support of our program. Rest assured that they hold themselves to the same high standards for quality and customer service as we do, and we all anticipate the opportunity to expand our circle of friends thanks to this new event. There is only one thing more important than the cattle at NFF, and that is our customers. Large or small, near or far, there is nothing more valuable to us than your confidence in our cattle and our commitment to stand behind them. We look forward to the opportunity to assist you after the sale with nutrition, breeding decisions, or anything else you might encounter. Please do not hesitate to contact us with questions at any time. One close look at this offering and we think you ll have no trouble finding the kind of females that are right for you. Simmental and Angus, opens and breds, the variety throughout these pages includes something for everyone. But as you study their differences also keep in mind the things they have in common, like a sound structure and pleasing look, backed by years of quality management practices and our promise to do everything we can to make you successful with them. So join us on Friday evening December 1 for a fine meal and even better fellowship at the first edition of DreamWorks, and help us kick off what is sure to become a great tradition for years to come! Sincerely, The Nelson Family Nelson Family Farms www.nelsoncattle.com Joe and Barb Gabe and Kayla Matt, Jordan and Maverick

2 RCC-NFF Wicked - dam of Lot 1 1 NFF RCC Wicked E259 3/4 SM 3/4/17 3268668 E259 SVF Steel Force S701 WLE Big Deal A617 Shawnee Miss 770P Duff New Edition 6108 dam... RCC-NFF Wicked RCC Centerfold M6073 7 2.1 58 85 1.3 17 46 0.28 0.59 112 RCC-NFF Wicked was the most successful show heifer ever to stand under the fans at Nelson Family Farms. So, as we sat down to arrange this catalog for our first female sale it only seemed right that it should begin with her progeny. The Wicked females are easy to pick out on the farm. They possess a correct, extremely three-dimensional skeleton and lay down an extra big footprint to go with it. Particularly impressive is their added muscle mass and ability to move out in a free and athletic manner despite it. The consistently complete females generated by this cow family should come as no surprise to anyone who has studied the pedigree. Wicked, along with much of the foundation of our herd are descendants of the immortal Redalen Cattle Company donor BH Miss MT 02K, a female who set the standard in the showring and in the pasture for many years. An investment in these genetics will certainly not be misplaced. NFF RCC Wicked E259

NFF Wicked A154 RCC-NFF Wicked 5 3.8 64 94 3.5 12 44 0.17 0.54 110 A standout since birth, E108 has always been on the list of our top purebred Simmental show prospects. This is the first calf crop out of W/C Relentless 32C but one look through this catalog and I think you ll agree this young sire will only gain in popularity as his daughters begin to make their way through sales and to backdrops across the country. As livestock breeders we are always working to incorporate outcross genetics. While we believe this to be a very important part of a healthy breeding program, it is also one of the most challenging. We used Mack AF W237 to fill this niche and could not be more pleased with the results. Thanks to that outcross pedigree this female comes packed with breeding utility, and combined with her outstanding phenotype she will make a wise addition to any herd. Maternal sister sells as lot 31.

In addition to that his daughters have been consistently taking home banners at shows across the country and E143 will be ready to do exactly that for her new owner. Her incredible profile comes in a moderate package that has made her a favorite of many visitors. She also has an especially sweet disposition! FHEN Halftime A127 - reference sire 5 NFF Centerfold E225 Purebred 2/22/17 3268632 E225 STF Dominique R170 Mack AF W273 Miss Thunder Pine S273 Ruby NFF Excaliber 002X dam...

He has had a profound impact on our herd since he commanded $65,000 for half interest in Denver in 2012. His progeny have proven themselves very useful and E225 will be no exception. This purebred comes with an outcross pedigree, which gives you the flexibility to mate her to literally every top sire being promoted today!

WLE Big Deal A617 - reference sire 6 NFF Centerfold E169 3/4 SM 2/13/17 3268629 E169 SVF Steel Force S701 WLE Big Deal A617 Shawnee Miss 770P Duff New Edition 6108 dam... NFF Centerfold A135 RCC Centerfold M6073 7 3 59 86 1.3 16 45 0.17 0.64 101 This cherry red 3/4 blood female is best described in one word: stunning. Her flawless structure and feminine design come in a practical package that is exactly what we strive to produce at NFF. Her dam is a full sister to RCC-NFF Wicked who offers a similar massive body type with slightly more extension through her front one third. It s because of daughters like E169 that WLE Big Deal has become one of the breed s elite female makers and will remain one of our heaviest used sires. 5 7 NFF Cover Girl E096 Purebred 1/29/17 3268699 E096 Yardley Utah Y361 W/C Relentless 32C MISS Werning KP 8543U Ruby NFF Excaliber 002X dam...

With perhaps the most attractive front end of any purebred in the offering, she is sure to make her presence felt in the showing this summer and beyond. Her maternal sister won banners this year for Daniel Walsh of Wisconsin! 8 Brown NFF Black Star E05 5/8 SM 2/20/17 3289419 E05 TNT Tuition U238 W/C United 956Y Miss Werning 956W 3C Macho M450 BZ dam...

If you re looking for one that will mature into the kind of powerhouse cow you can build a herd from, look no further.

6 NFF Lady A193 - reference dam NFF Lady E134 9 NFF Lady E134 3/4 SM 2/6/17 3268747 E134 This trio of full sisters represent one of the most successful flushes yet at NFF. Their dam is our hottest young donor cow who s royal pedigree links top female makers like SVF/NJC Built Right, Rhythm 418P, and BC Lookout. Combine that with the up and coming sire W/C Relentless and you have a potent 3/4 blood package that will perform not only in the showring but in the pasture as well. Minor differences in body type will separate these three, but regardless whether you prefer a slightly deeper flank or cleaner neck know that each of them excel in terms of soundness, with an extremely soft pastern and flex to spare. As much as we would like to retain highly desirable females like these for our own herd, they will all have new homes on December 1! Maternal sister sells as Lot 31.

She won more banners than we care to list for the Mayer family but what might be even more impressive is the fact that less than a week after returning home from Denver as a senior yearling division champion she laid down and had a bull calf unassisted and has been averaging more transferable embryos per flush than any other donor on the farm ever since. These four heifer calves, by four different sires, represent the first live genetics ever offered out of this up and coming donor. Each of them designed to fill a different role but regardless which of them you add to your herd you can rest assured that she will have the same extraordinary impact on your program that her mother has had on ours.

10 NFF Miss SnowbalY062 - reference dam The Snowball cow family is one we are particularly proud of at NFF. The granddam, N901, is still in production at nearly 15 years of age and showing no signs of slowing down. Her daughters have set themselves apart from the rest of the herd thanks to an ideal foot, perfect udders, and a balanced, symmetrical design that makes them some of the most asked-about cows on the farm. These females excel in the traits that contribute in a large part to one of the most valuable characteristics we as producers look for in our cattle: longevity. Longevity is something very easily quantified in a production setting. It boils down to very simple questions like, did she last? Did she wean a good calf? Does she add to the overall profitability of the enterprise each year? There is, however, no EPD or index that can help us select for these traits as accurately as we can through visual appraisal and real world experience. One look at these three heifer calves and you know they are ready to follow in the footsteps of their mothers and grandmother, and become the same kind of cornerstone for your program that N901 has for ours. E059 and E060 are two of the most striking purebred females in the offering. They will without a doubt do some serious damage around the show circuit next year. E019 is an exciting daughter of FHEN Halftime who will get better every single day you own her! 161/2 SM 1/11/17-3268667 E019 NFF Snowball E019 S A V Brilliance 8077 NFF Dial SOHL A110 FHEN Halftime A127 dam...
