Thank You!!!!!!!

We would like to thank all the bidders and buyers that came out today.  We look forward to continuing established relationships and forging new ones.  It is exciting to see our steers go into capable hands, and even more exciting to see what we can accomplish together over the next year.

We would like to thank all of our friends and family that helped getting cattle ready, serving food, making sure that all ends were taken care of.   Ryan and I (Adam) could not do it without you.

We wish to thank the Lord Almighty for the passion and talent that he has given us along with the opportunity to share that with you.  We thank him for holding off the rain for the sale, and for all the safety granted to customers and cattle.

We will be offering heifers private treaty in October.   Please check back for more details and photos in the upcoming weeks.  Pictured below is a sample of the offering.   These two went to the Crawford Co. Fair and we pictured them prior to going.

Updated Picture of the BIM Steer

I was working alone today, but still managed to get some more pictures of the calves.  This is an updated picture of the BIM that was on a few days ago.  Check out pictures of more calves on the 2015 Calves page on the right of this blog.

High seller from last year.

I always find it interesting to know how babies grow up.  For those that were at our sale last year, you might remember this guy.   He is an I-80 that was our high seller.

Bargain Shopping?????

This steer sold in last year's sale for $1750.  He is a ringer x q-dog that was big boned hairy and awesome necked.  He was a little harder looking last fall and didn't garner as much attention.  Thank you Samantha Hall for your hard work this year.

"Cheddar" was a Monopoly x Charolais that didn't even sell in a previous sale.  He ended up selling for $1,000 and won his county fair.

Every year we have several steers that are greener, not as haired up, or just a little behind that sell below the money but end up feeding well.  With the proper management these younger steers can still be competitive come next summer.

Believe In Me x 3D x Draft Pick

I'm not real happy about this picture.  It was getting dark when I got him clipped.  I'd like to try him out in the grass lot, but time will dictate whether I can or not.

This one is bred similar to our most successful steer from last year shown by the Luckman family.

This steer is out of a Monopoly x Tia daughter (shown below).  He is for sale.  Contact Craig Ullom at 725-914-3670.

It's all about Cow Families!

Shedaisy

 

 

I purchased this Montana Truck female from C.A. Detwiler along with a mature daughter by Hall of Fame in 2007.  Shedaisy was multiple time champion in Pennsylvania and surrounding states.  She won her division at Angus Junior Nationals in 2000.  Although she is now deceased, her power continues on.  Betty Would is a granddaughter by Lut and is a future donor for us.  Look for photos this fall.

New Sires in use at Mattocks Farms!!

The genetic impact of DRC Tia Maria!

Tia was an accidental mating for us.  She was a result of a Maine Break son that we used as clean-up and a $700 red cow that we bought from Mike McClintock of West Virginia.  She was golden from the time that she entered production.  Two of her daughters by Swoosh were selected as Supreme Female of the Pennsylvania Farmshow.  Her flush to Monopoly produced several high sellers and very productive females.

3 Cheers entering embryo production!

Three Cheers (Lut x 3D x Maine) will be entering embryo production this spring.  This beautiful looking female comes from a powerful line of consistent producers and genetic potency.  Three Cheers most recent success is the Hard Whiskey female (below) shown by Makenna Buesing and sold by Jeff Paulsen.   She has an exciting heifer by CSCX Bandwagon on her this spring, and we are planning some stimulating new matings going forward.
