Spring Storm Online Frozen Genetics Sale 2026

Welcome TO THE 2026 SPRING STORM

It is an absolute pleasure to welcome you to our 3rd Annual Spring Storm Online Frozen Genetics Sale, hosted on February 13th and 14th, 2026. As we celebrate our 43rd year in the Charolais business, we continue to be amazed by how the industry has changed. We now have the ability to share the very best of our program with breeders across the country. The “Spring Storm” was born out of a desire to offer our most elite, proven genetics in a way that allows you to fast-track your own program’s success. At Springside, we have never shied away from investing heavily in top-tier donor females and industry-leading sires, and the offering you see in these pages is the direct result of that commitment.

The Power of Good People

One of the greatest lessons these 43 years have taught us is that if you surround yourself with good people, good things will happen for you. This sale is a testament to the community that supports us. We are incredibly grateful for the partnerships and friendships that make an event like this possible—from the vet and lab technicians to our fellow breeders, loyal customers, and exceptional crew.

Predictability and Performance

In today’s volatile market, there is no room for guesswork. Our philosophy has always been to select for traits that ensure longevity and performance: fertility, sound structure, and unmistakable maternal power. By incorporating these genetics, many of which are from dams and sires that have toured the country hanging banners, you are investing in the culmination of 43 years of genetic advancement and our unwavering commitment to quality.

Whether you are looking to add a new outcross to your herd or want to add matings that have already proven their worth in the show ring and the sale ring, the Spring Storm offers you the chance to bring the heart of the herd into your own herd.

Sale Details

The sale will be held as a timed auction on DLMS FarmGate Timed Auctions, opening on February 13th and closing on the 14th. As you evaluate the genetics featured in this offering, please don’t hesitate to contact us with any questions regarding the donors or sires represented here. Thank you for your continued trust in the SOS brand. We are proud of where we’ve been, but we are even more excited about where these genetics will take your program in the future.

Get ready—the Storm is coming!

Warm regards,

When it comes to the powerhouse of a donor cow Dahlia 46D is just that. She has a track record of producing Herd bulls like Great Village that was sold Linskov Ranches for $34,000.00. We bought half interest in her form Clays for her power and ability to produce both herd bulls and replacement females. The mating to Lt Governor 1560 and Troubadour 213k could make the herd bull you are looking or the next female to make it into the donor pen. Selling 1 package of 3 on each mating all embryos are IVF. Guaranteed one pregnancy if done by certified technician. Embryos are stored at Bow Valley.

Our Full French division continues to be one of the most rewarding ventures in our program, with 11G leading the charge. Renowned for superior carcass quality, she remains a standout performer, ranking in the top 1% for fat—a vital trait for feedlot efficiency. Her pedigree is a “who’s who” of breed greats, including Snoopy, Till, and Montagnard. The maternal strength here is undeniable; we have recently calved out her first set of daughters, and they are truly high-caliber females with elite udder quality and look. This production consistency follows her previous success of producing the $50,000 MLCC Khan 11K to Wilkie Charolais. For a firsthand look at her producing ability, be sure to check out her powerhouse bull calf SOS Nailbiter 153N selling as Lot 4 in this year’s “Bulls For Every Budget” Annual Bull Sale.

Since joining our program, MLCC Caleesi 289E has remained one of our most inquired-about females—and for good reason. She continues to be a benchmark for quality, possessing what we consider to be near-perfect phenotypical balance. With a superb disposition, elite foot and leg structure, and an udder that is truly second to none, she is a standout in every sense of the word. Caleesi isn’t just a beauty; she’s a performance powerhouse, ranking in the top 10% of the breed for Milk EPD. Her ability to combine maternal excellence with a striking look has made her a cornerstone of our ET program. Whether you are hunting for a front-pasture heifer or a heavy-duty herd bull, these embryos are a proven path to herd-building greatness.

Miss Trickager

When we first toured MLCC prior to the dispersal, KERR 832F was an immediate standout. Roger’s prediction that she would become an elite donor was spot on. She continues to be a favorite for her extreme femininity and deep-bodied, broody maternal look. As a heavy milker with a textbook udder, she truly exemplifies the functional quality we strive for. Her value has only increased through her consistent fertility and the high-quality offspring she is now producing. These Full French genetics offer a unique performance edge, and 832F is a premier example of why this lineage is such a vital investment for the modern Charolais breeder.

Historic has solidified his place as a premier sire for the modern cattleman, offering a rare combination of calving ease and high-impact performance. His EPD profile is truly impressive, ranking him among the elite of the breed for growth and maternal traits while maintaining a low birth weight. He is an exceptionally easy-fleshing bull that carries himself with great mass and structural integrity. Perhaps most importantly, his progeny have proven to be highly marketable, consistently surfacing at the top of sales and earning the respect of commercial and purebred producers alike. If you are looking to inject your herd with a “no-miss” sire that balances calving confidence with powerhouse results, Historic is the answer.

- On your first log in to Farm Gate Timed auctions we recommend you go to your profile and confirm notifications are set to YES. This allows the site to send you text and/or email notifications when you are out-bid and if there is activity on your favorite lots.

RETURNING FARM GATE USERS: If you have used Farm Gate Timed auctions in the past simply enter your username & password to continue. After you have logged in you are able to browse the timed auctions on DLMS Farm Gate Timed Auctions.

HOW TO BID IN A TIMED AUCTION Now that you are logged in and your account phone number/email is verified, you are able to bid on an upcoming sale. Simply find the lot you are interested in bidding on. There are 2 options for bidding on the lot.

- Place Next Bid – to place the next bid on the item, you set the amount in the first box, click the “Place Bid” button and after you review the bid and agree to the terms & conditions, your bid will be placed.

- Max Bid Amount – to place a max bid you put your max bid in the second box listed as “Max Bid” on the item, and then click the “Place Bid” button - after you review the bid and agree to the terms & conditions, your bid will be placed as the next bid. With the Max Bid placed the computer will then keep you as the high bidder to the max amount you have placed. This can be a great feature if you are not able to give 100% attention to the sale close out and protect your interest so you do not miss out on any lots you want to purchase. The Max Bid amount is completely confidential from the seller during the sale process.

Example of How the Max Bid Works - If the lot has a $2000 bid on it and you place a proxy bid of $3500 into the system, the computer will bid $2100 for you - but if some one else bids $2200, the computer will again bid for you, this time at $2300. The system will look after your interest to a maximum of $3500. If an-

SALE

other bidder is on at $3600, your proxy will no longer be effective and you will no longer have the winning bid on this lot without once again logging in and bidding again or moving your attention to a second lot of interest. Please note that in some cases a lot value can change very quickly if 2 max bids are placed on the same lot competing against each other.

WATCH LIST FEATURE If you have items in multiple auctions or only a few from the same auction that you want to watch without having to scroll through the entire list you can add the lots to your watchlist. On each lot you will see the “eye” button beside the bid button, by clicking this “watchlist” Icon that item is added to your personal watchlist for easy viewing of just your favorite lots in this sale or on the entire site.

SALE ENDING / CLOSEOUT Most Farm Gate Timed Auction sales close racehorse style with extended bidding.

WHAT IS RACEHORSE STYLE CLOSE? Racehorse style sale close is when the entire sale stays open in extended bidding. This type of sale allows you as the bidder to change to a different lot within the same sale if the bidding has gone in to extended bidding.

HOW WILL EXTENDED BIDDING WORKS? When we get to the close out end time the clock for close extends with any bid placed with less than 5 min on the clock. This type of extended bidding turns the end time to more of a soft time. Extended bidding allows bidders to compete in lots like a real auction and give all bidders the same time to make a decision. Always follow the clock to see how much time remains in the sale you are interested in.

BIDDING CLOSE & FOLLOW-UP After the clock has gone to “ENDED” and no bidding has occurred for 5 min the computer will declare the sale finished. Typically within 24 hours of the sale close the sale consignor will contact all winning bidders to arrange payment, transfer of pedigrees and delivery/pickup of your lot. Or as the winning bidding you can contact the sale consignor/ sale manager to confirm payment instructions. - Please make sure that your account info is up-to-date and correct, as this is how the billing is sent to the Sale Manager/Sale Consignor.
