1 Bred Heifer - 1 Sire: Doc Dam: 7587 (Draft Pick son x Full Flush) ID: 1 BD: February 2007 Due March 6, 2009 to Ali Selling 1/2 interest and no possession. This female s tag best describes her in my opinion. It is hard to replace cattle like this. Her mother is fast becoming one of the best donors I have ever had. 7587 s first calf was a $15,000 Heat Seeker. WALKS ALONE is a name that everyone will be familiar with down the road. He is a $60,000 Heat Wave son out of 7587 that will be a promotion bull for RCC in 2009. Tag 1 is 7587 s first natural calf out of Doc. There is a reason I am only selling half interest of this great female. 1 - Bred to Ali 2 2 - Bred to Total Solution Bred Heifer - 2 Sire: Friction Dam: Sim x Angus ID: 2 BD: March 2007 Due March 4, 2009 to Total Solution 3 Full sib to s 2 and 3 3 - Bred to Total Solution Bred Heifer - 3 Sire: Friction Dam: Sim x Angus ID: 3 BD: March 2007 Due March 4, 2009 to Total Solution This female is a full sister to 3 and a full sister to Stetson Copus Champion Prospect Steer at Lawton. 4 Bred Heifer - 4 Sire: Heat Wave Dam: K42 (Double Bred Kroupa 602) ID: 4 BD: March 2007 Due April 14, 2009 to Ali This red heifer is a ground pounder.

Dam of 4 3 She is a full sister to 2 and I don t know which one that I like better. Friction females are hard to come by with this much power and genetics. 4 - Bred to Ali

The obvious question is...then why are you selling her? Our response is what fun would this business be if on occasion you didn t have the excitement of offering your very best for sale.
