S Chisum 6175<br />
S Rainmaker 9216<br />
S Rainmaker 9216 sold through our 2010 sale as our featured 6536 son. This<br />
high performing Rainmaker bull is long bodied, expressively muscled, has a<br />
mild disposition and is out of an elite Pathfinder VRD donor. His first sons sold<br />
in 2011 and were very well received, due to their extra length, performance, and<br />
muscle. In 2013 we will offer a large number of his sons, which includes several<br />
real standouts highlighted by a maternal brother to Summit. Unfortunately 9216<br />
suffered a breeding injury in 2011, and with his limited semen supply, this will be<br />
the last chance to purchase his genetics in volume.<br />

S Chisum 6175 is the most dominant sire we have ever<br />
used. He is a <strong>Spickler</strong> bred and raised sire who topped our 2007 bull<br />
offering. Chisum is powerfully built with tremendous muscle and mass. He<br />
has excellent depth of body, a long, free, powerful stride and good foot shape. Chisum is a modest<br />
birth sire who adds performance and power to his offspring. His daughters are tremendous <strong>you</strong>ng<br />
cows. They are deep bodied, docile, milk well, and add extra performance to their calves. Our<br />
Chisum progeny have highlighted our past sales being highly sought after by top registered and<br />
commercial operations. We will have a large offering of Chisum sons in 2013 as well as numerous<br />
progeny out of Chisum daughters.<br />

Sinclair Fortunate Son is developing into one of the most potent sires we have<br />
used. While at Sinclairs he was one of the fastest growing, highest gaining bulls in<br />
his calf crop, but was also one of the deepest middled, thickest bulls in their 2011<br />
offering. Our first calves arrived this March and are really impressive. Fortunate’s<br />
potency is marked by the extra length and power he adds to his calves. Fortunate<br />
stamps his progeny with a consistent pattern that is typical of a good breeding bull.<br />
We will offer a number of his sons May 6, 2013. Several of these are ¾ brothers out<br />
of Chisum daughters, which is proving to be an excellent mating. We will have several<br />
Fortunate sons and daughters on display for the ND Angus tour in September.<br />

S Elevate 9165 was our high selling bull in 2010 to Sparrow <strong>Ranch</strong>, Mercer, ND.<br />
Shortly after our sale Minert/Simonson Dunning, NE, purchased a semen interest<br />
in Elevate from Sparrow’s. Elevate has developed into an impressive three-yearold<br />
bull. He is thick topped, big quartered, loaded with muscle, and sound. His<br />
first sons were highly sought after in May commanding a progeny sale average<br />
of $7781. Elevate’s sons have length, muscle, and power. His daughters have<br />
excellent rib shape, flesh easy, and we expect them to be very good uddered like<br />
Elevate’s dam. We will only offer a few Elevate sons in 2013 but his influence will<br />
be felt for several years as he is currently a resident pasture sire at <strong>Spickler</strong> <strong>Ranch</strong>.

of S Trailblazer 0110, our lead-off and 3rd high seller in<br />

uniform in their type. His daughters are feminine and<br />
angular, yet have plenty of body, substance and muscle,<br />
and nearly every one has a perfect udder.<br />

uddered <strong>you</strong>ng cows that are raising nice calves. Lincoln’s finished steer and heifer<br />
