Welcome to the 30th Anniversary SALE Dear Friends, When our first cows calved in the spring of 1995, we never participated in any talk of embryo work, EPDs/$Indexes, DNA testing, or international markets. It was just our small family working side by side, trying to build the best 4H projects and prettiest cows we could on the limited grass we had in the middle of corn country. Thirty years later, the cattle you’ll see on the following pages and in the pens on sale day are the product of that daily toil often including blood, sweat & tears, and definitely a whole lot of lessons learned the hard way. This sale represents not only the culmination of those years of feeding, breeding and selecting, but also the beginning of the next chapter. And are excited for what the next 30 years looks like for Shorthorns! We learned early that the best way to breed cattle is by learning from those with the longest tenures in the Shorthorn business. And that generally fell to those with the sharpest pencils, not the loudest microphones. As things evolved, and we were exposed to more of the greater beef industry, we began to rely on data over devotion because of the truths it shares. Whether it’s EPDs, genomics, or the $Durham index, we lean into objective measures rather than the noise of promotion, commotion, and emotion. Our confidence comes not from the way we describe these cattle through exact same words that every Shorthorn sale catalog uses in nearly every footnote, but from the way the cattle have developed and functioned over time. It is through observing and recording their function via objective, tangible measurements where the true maternal story of every one of these cow families comes to light. And we feel that’s the difference between a breeding program built on opinion and one built on proof.
At the same time, this sale isn’t just about Bowman Superior Genetics. It’s about the Shorthorn breed, and it’s about the beef business as a whole. No matter your breeding goalswhether you’re hauling haltered calves between jackpot shows on the weekends, studiously building efficient, maternal cows in order to sell bulls and replacements to your neighbors, or working to balance both - We’re all pulling in the same direction. Together, we have the responsibility to make Shorthorns better, generation after generation. And if we all do that, we’re preserving a great breed of cattle and handing a stronger, more relevant Shorthorn to those who come after us. Within these pages, you’ll find donor-quality females, herd bulls, bred cows & heifers, and even a couple of functional composite options. Each animal is in their own way somewhat different in type, design, and genetic information, but every one of them ties back to the same mission: cattle that work for the most critical registered breeder and the most practical commercial cattleman. Whether you’re looking to add power, maternal depth, balance, or all the above, there’s a reason you need to be in Richmond, Indiana, November 22. Finally, and most importantly, Thank You. Thank you for your friendship all these years, for believing in these cattle, and for joining us in this special 30th Anniversary event. We’re humbled by the peers we have and partnerships this breed has brought us, and we look forward to celebrating with you. November 22, 2025, is not just about the cattle in this catalog, but it’s about all the good people we’ve met along the way that have made it all possible. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. Onward, Phillip & Luke Bowman

THE BREED
At nearly 14 years of age, time has slowed her up a bit, but it’s done nothing to her presence, both at home and across the globe. Waukaru Lassie 2024 remains the matriarch around the farm and that’s because she defines what power Shorthorns are to this industry. She is the kind that makes even the most astute cattlemen pause mid visit. She’s the cow whose outline and body composition has been studied over and over, whose daughters are envied, and whose numerous sons are quietly shaping the next generation. With nearly 90 registered progeny in the American Shorthorn Association database, her influence is woven through the pedigrees of programs that are focused on the future. Her daughters come long-spined, wide-based, big-bodied, angular, and square-footed. They’re the kind that stay in production and make the math work. Her sons, like Picasso, Grid Master, Greens Fork, Hard Rock, EZ 2146, and now Contango, who is featured in this sale, carry her stamp of muscle, mass, and balance that converts into real-world profit. She has worked with every sire she’s met. This sale opens with some direct daughters, and you’ll find more of her influence throughout the catalog. These daughters are bred and built to carry and pass on her torch into the next 30 years of Shorthorn progress. They’re moderate, functional, and solid; cattle that remind us why Lassie 2024 became legend in the first place. Well done, old girl. You’ve earned your place among the greats.

Every once in a while, a cow family writes a chapter so powerful for a herd that it redefines what’s possible for the entire breed. I think of the Nobody’s Fool’s of Cates Farms, the Picture Perfect’s for Shadybrook, and the Gold Rose’s of Jungels Shorthorn Farms to name just a few of so many that popped up in my mind. For Bowman Superior Genetics, that story began with Waukaru Lassie 2024. She’s truly a legend. Lassie 2024 is the matriarch whose influence reshaped our herd and has left fingerprints across herds worldwide. But as every great dynasty demands, the next queen has arrived. Meet BSG Liberty Lassie 2362 of 25J, the most unique daughter her dam has ever produced. BSG 2362 carries forward every strength that made 2024 famous: structural integrity, femininity, and a massive maternal presence. But, she adds the kind of balance, moderation, and efficiency that make her the model for where the breed must go next. In person, she’s built like a beef cow should be: bold, deep, and square, yet so easy-moving and refined in her look. Her evidence-backed information only reinforces what your eyes already tell you. Ranking in the Top 15% or higher for Calving Ease, Weaning Weight, Yearling Weight, Milk, Total Maternal, Stayability, Carcass Weight, and Marbling, plus landing in the Top 10% or better for $CPI, $BMI, and $F, she’s the rare one that does it all… growth in a moderate package, maternal mastery, and carcass merit in one sustainable package. BSG 2362 is, quite simply, the reincarnation of 2024. But improved. She’s the next generation of the Lassie legacy, and we believe she’ll anchor this cow family’s global influence for decades to come. We truly believe she’s the best female ever bred at Bowman Superior Genetics.

P.E.’d to JSF RONAN 5H from June 1 - August 1, 2025, Ultrasounded preg., due approx. 3/10/26. Foundational Pedigree. Fantastic Look. And a Future that is Unstoppable. A sale favorite and really hard for Luke to let go of this one. Another good, solid, moderate Lassie 2024 daughter, that is as long and level topped as you can make them– and it all comes together seeing that she is a Taylor Made– that makes her all the more special in the eyes of great Shorthorn breeders! This female is also nearly a -2.0 for BW EPD allowing her to be used on a variety of today’s popular sires. We were extremely sad when her BASIN caught a freak infection and passed. Losing that calf was no fault of hers, she did everything she was supposed to, just a mishap that happens to the best sometimes. Do not discount this cow. She could go on to be one of the most impactful females to ever come out of the Lassie gene pool. Serious donor quality right here; we recommend calving her out and getting her flushed to BASIN right away after she provides you with this wonderful RONAN baby she is carrying!

P.E.’d to JSF RONAN 5H from June 1 - August 1, 2025, Ultrasounded preg., due approx. 3/25/26 The only one of this mating that we raised; the flush was not very big and we let go of some of the embryos soon after we made them. When you see this girl, you’ll want us to raise more just like her. She’s great in her angles, has a big, square hip and that makes sense because study that pedigree and she combines the “Type” genre of Shorthorns with the “Production” genre – with two of the greatest ever in either category - And her data backs it up. Her EPDs are balanced everywhere and upon deeper diving you’ll see genetic information that screams a cow that can raise’em right. As a first calf heifer, she raised a bull calf that weaned off at an impressive 625 lbs. She is an all around great, great young Shorthorn cow that can really get out there and get it done. We know BSG 2358 will be getting flushed by her new owners.
“GOOD HELP IS HARD TO COME BY THESE DAYS.” Between the daily labor of feeding, breeding, and managing the herd, we simply didn’t have the manpower and days to picture every lot. The cattle may not all have glossy photos this year, but rest assured, they’re all videoed.

Sometimes a bull earns his way to the top without a big ad campaign or fancy photos, he just quietly works his way there with a grassroots fanfare. BSG BOARD ROOM 2034 is one of those. From the time he was a calf at the side of his 2 year old Goldenrod dam, he stopped traffic in the pasture. That young pair seemed to catch everyone’s eye, and when his dam sold later that fall as “Pick of the Herd,” buyer Anna Sanftner of Wisconsin made it clear, it was because of the calf at her side that she chose her. After weaning, we encouraged breeders to take a look at BOARD ROOM, but most passed him by because of his non-traditional color pattern. That never bothered us. He was square, sound, extended, and carried the kind of natural muscle that you typically don’t see in British-based breeds. Today, Board Room stands as one of the most complete, balanced sires we’ve ever raised. He’s long-fronted, deep-flanked, wide-based, and athletic in motion. His progeny are small at birth, shapely at weaning, and practical on the ranch. But the real headline? – his 26 Stayability EPD. Ladies and gents, that’s a big, big deal. Not only does that rank him in the Top 1% of all active Shorthorn sires for STAY, it makes him the #1 Active Sire in the breed for the most economically significant maternal trait we have. Stayability (or “STAY”) measures how long a bull’s daughters remain productive in the herd. It’s a simple way to put longevity, fertility, udder quality, and structural integrity into one number. In practical terms, cows leave the herd most often due to issues in those exact areas—and Board Room’s genetics help them stay in production. His 26 STAY tells us his daughters will last and thrive, year after year. What began as a pasture standout has become a model for structural soundness, longevity, and maternal design. And with that, we’re proud to offer his eldest daughter, a 2 year old, BSG 2329, as proof that some bulls don’t need promotion—they just need time to tell their story.

P.E.’d to JSF RONAN 5H from June 1 - August 1, 2025, Ultrasounded preg., due approx. 3/15/26 If Dr. Bert Moore makes it to the sale, we might just hand him the microphone and let him give a short lecture on structural integrity with BSG 2329 standing right there as “Exhibit A.” It was a 90-degree September afternoon when we snapped her photo, but folks, this female is as close to anatomically correct as anything in the country. Her build checks every box: balance with alignment, and athletic function wrapped in a clean, modern Shorthorn look. Her bottom side is just as special. Her dam, 11H, was the first BSG Profitwise 1767 daughter ever to sell at auction, and Phil couldn’t resist procuring her for BSG when he saw her at the PVF/Byland/Beckler Sale in Ohio. That old 11H cow is long, slender-necked, and powerful as a freight train. When we mated 11H to BOARD ROOM, the result was BSG 2329—a homozygous “Great One” that proves what happens when genetics and design align perfectly. Oh, and just for good measure: she ranks with double-digit Calving Ease, a Top 10% STAY, and a Top 15% $CPI. Form and function…that’s BSG 2329.

Will calve by Sale Day to BSG BOARD ROOM 2034 Every once in a while, a cow comes along that makes you stop and stare. BSG Dottie 2120 of 15A is that kind of female. Broadhipped, wide-pinned, and bold from every angle, yet feminine, correct. She’s living proof that maternal power and carcass excellence can coexist. Pedigree-wise, she’s royalty. Her lineage braids the Canadian Myrtle 83N and Goose 32R cow families with the globally respected Dottie tribe, and anchors it all with our Rosewood line, long known for structural integrity and longevity. Her dam, BSG Dottie 1766, was Wes Wise’s pick of our herd in 2018, proving quality runs deep in this line. Dottie 2120 is the only female in the sale coming from our fall calving herd and she’ll calve by sale day to BOARD ROOM. The mating blends elite cow family strength on both sides with one of the breed’s most exciting young sires.

RONAN didn’t just arrive in the early 2020s; he rewrote The Shorthorn breed’s blueprint. He’s a true, highly accurate Calving Ease bull (18 CED EPD) with a low birth weight (–3.3 BW EPD @ 0.82 acc), yet he carries real-world punch. Ronan stacks the rare combination our friends, neighbors, and customers all demand: light, easy birth; extra body and muscle; a gentle, quiet disposition; and good uddered daughters that flat-out work by milking well and keeping their flesh for fast breedback. Born February 9, 2020, and recorded with a tiny 72-lb actual birth weight, he matured into a bull you can confidently use broadly in either Shorthorn or commercial settings. With two shots of Jazzy 250J over the KL Gold Rose family, he delivers maternal strength while maintaining that outcross twist, reaching back to trusted Saskvalley roots. And from Day One, RONAN was marketed as just that; a different-bred, calving-ease option off the reservation in North Dakota, and he’s proven to be exactly that. Despite his calving ease edge, he pushes his calves above breed average for weaning weight, sires females that STAY in the herd for all the right, rancher-approved reasons, and balances all traits with a breed-leading $Cow Productivity Index ($CPI) of $192 which is easily in the Top 1% among proven sires. Yet he still makes stout, marketable cattle. That combination blows most expectations well out of the water. Once calves hit the ground in Greens Fork and other programs that sampled him early, semen demand exploded. Commercial producers and seedstock operations alike embraced his consistency. His reach soared to a global scale once Cattle Visions and ST Genetics got on board. By mid-2025, in the ST Beef lineup, he has become their top non-Angus beef bull seller for the first half of the year. That level of acceptance and repeated success in both registered herds and commercial pastures, underscores what sets RONAN apart. In a new era for this breed that is defined by data, durability, and maternal function, RONAN stands among the most impactful Shorthorns on Earth, not because of hype, but because he made it simple to do the right things. Generation after generation, that’s exactly what this breed needs more of, and RONAN has already delivered. RONAN DAUGHTERS

2-YEAR OLD DAUGHTERS OF
RONAN
Two Fantastic daughters of RONAN give us a great look into what the future holds for our herd and countless others. They bloomed rapidly as calves and stopped at ~22 months, which is exactly what we want to see in good cows. It seems cattle that continue to grow after 2 years of age seem to never shut it off and have a high maintenance (feed) cost for the rest of their lives. The week before calving the milk kicked in and they calved on their own and fed their calves with the most perfect, well balanced udders you’ll find. They mothered up quick with their calves, were easy going as we processed the babies and the rest was history. They did an extraordinary job raising those calves and the proof is in the information digital beef spit back; RONAN is now the Highest Accuracy High Maternal $Value ($192.00 $CPI) Shorthorn bull in the breed, that is still over breed average for Weaning Weight and is actively breeding cows today. There are some other great ones up there, but now one else matches those standards. Study your lesson with these two females.

Why SHORTHORNS? …30 YEARS OF CHOOSING THE ROAD LESS TRAVELED
After three decades in the seedstock business, that’s a fair question: Why does Bowman Superior Genetics still raise Shorthorns when today’s American beef industry seems so laser-focused on black-hided cattle? The answer is simple! Shorthorn and Shorthorn-influenced females are more convenient to raise, last longer, and are maternally superior. And that’s the business we decided years ago to focus on. We believe the cow business is about more than manufacturing pounds at all costs, fitting those pounds into a branded box and hiking the price on an unassuming consumer. The larger breeds have earned their place, and we applaud them, but for us the Shorthorn breed offers advantages that are too valuable to ignore. Modern Shorthorns deliver maternal efficiency, moderate cow size, plus incredible, industry-leading stayability, and the kind of docility that makes ranch life more manageable for families. Remember, as new folks enter this business and invest in beef cattle for the first time during this high market, they want a sensible investment that proves to be a pleasant experience in rearing the stock (calving, feeding, handling), and they want to enjoy eating their own tender, highly marbled cuts of beef. And there is no better ticket to that first-class experience than the modern Shorthorn. On a larger scale, Shorthorns most importantly complement other breeds in crossbreeding systems. Yes, every time you crossbreed you inject the goodness of hybrid vigor, but a modern Shorthorn goes beyond that and adds the real-world function to a national commercial cow herd that with today’s most popular non-Shorthorn genetics will tend to eat you out of house and home and comparatively falls apart after just 4-5 years of age. Our mission has never been to chase popularity; it has been to breed for common sense outcomes. That’s why we focus on selling cattle for what they are, rather than who they are. And after years and years of collecting data on the breeding animals, retaining ownership on steers through test stations and commercial feedlots, and studying genetic trends across all breeds, we know Shorthorns can compete, and even excel, when we consider that Outputs – Inputs = Profit. Sticking with Shorthorns isn’t nostalgia. It’s a conviction that this breed belongs in the mainstream beef industry, not on the sidelines. Every generation of BSG-prefixed cattle has been bred to prove that Shorthorns can deliver maternal excellence, carcass quality, and long-term profitability, by not sacrificing moderation or functionality for the sake of a few more pounds. In an industry that sometimes leans too hard on following what the Joneses are doing, we’ve chosen to be different. Shorthorn genetics allow us to design cattle that are practical, adaptable, and profitable across a variety of production systems. And that’s why after 30 years we’re still proud to say: “We’re the Bowman’s and we breed Shorthorns!”

P.E.’d to JSF RONAN 5H from June 1 - August 1, 2025, Ultrasounded preg., due approx. 3/15/26 A classic Taylor Made cow. Docile, made like a dream and makes the kind people want to buy. She has only produced males so far, but we can’t wait for when she has a female, and if it is the RONAN she is carrying, give us a call… We might be interested. A Rosewood and maternal sister to BSG 2013. Their Bonanza dam was Josh Schrock’s pick of the cow herd a few years ago, and he bought her and took her back to Ohio and we think of that female often. These Rosewood’s have been around since the beginning; the only cow family here that has lasted all 30 years. What does that tell you? P.E.’d to JSF RONAN 5H from June 1 - August 1, 2025, Ultrasounded preg., due approx. 3/25/26 Luke’s favorite cow and one that means a lot to our family. She should for sure be higher in this sale catalog order, but I think Amy at Shorthorn Country is tired of my last minute, OCD edits… Anyway, if you go only 4 females back in her pedigree, you’ll see WV Rosewood PR 107, one of the first cows to ever calve here in the Spring of 1995, and produced until she lost her teeth at the age of 20 years old! These Rosewoods are an old, historical cow family in this breed, and BSG 2013 is another replica of these long lived, super sound, solid cows that do nothing wrong and contribute positively every single year. Take good care of this cow, and she’ll take damn good care of you. 2025 ASA Performance Dam.

Ever since her first calf, she has been a positive dollar generator on the farm and was one of the first to contribute to Oscar and Georgia’s college fund.

She is a Killian Rose and those gals were some of the first really moderate sized females in the eastern corn belt and that’s all due to Nick Steinke’s vision for what the future of this breed could be, and he really cranked down the frame on that old Ka’Ba Rose T90 cow when he made this derivative line of that legendary female.

Her registered name is “Snow White,” but if you look at that royal pedigree, she is actually a Picture Perfect female coming all the way down from Quebec. And man does this Shadybrook cow do a good job. She has an amazing Weaning Ratio (WR) of 3@107. That means on three weaned calves, they average a weaning weight ratio of 107, or 7% higher than the contemporary group average. If you don’t know much about how to read performance records, that is a Big Deal. That tells you this female passes on the growth genes traits of most significance.

2026 AND BEYOND:
WHY MATERNAL TRAITS MEAN MORE IN TODAY’S POUNDS-OBSESSED INDUSTRY As ag economists forecast into 2026 and beyond, the cattle industry will continue to be challenged by harsh economic forces like rising input costs, tighter margins, and the scarcity of quality replacement females. It’s really going to test the sustainability of many beef herds nation-wide. Knowing this already, above average maternal traits will no longer a “nice to have,” they will in fact become the keystone of profitability, and therefore herd sustainability. Sure, in this sale catalog you’ll see we are proud to offer “power cows” and “growth leaders,” like BSG Embargo, BSG 2362, and BSG 2427; they are some exciting lots in this sale! But big growth without a balance of maternal superiority can be a bad deal. Sadly, most beef herds and seedstock suppliers, especially within the traditionally maternal or British breeds, have drifted toward selecting terminal traits over maternal integrity: heavier yearling weights—which means greater size—which means females from those genetics are stuck being later maturing. The mainstream American cow herd is seemingly blowing their brains out once again on single trait selection (Growth) just like in the 1980’s, early 1990’s. Do folks not remember that the industry chase for scale-crushing pounds most often erodes the very edifice of a long-lived, efficient cow? Have we not been down this road before, or do we not recollect because most of the breeders of that time gone by era already exited the business? The fact is, while selecting for max growth to better serve only the packer’s demands (and not your own herd’s integrity), you might get calves that weigh heavier, but the dams behind them will more than likely get taller, wear thin earlier, and erode in stayability. Bottom line: when naturally maternal cattle breeds are pushed away from their God-given structural, reproductive, and longevity design, these consequences are inevitable. But it’s happening all around us. You can observe it today in these maternal or British-based breeds where terminal traits are getting all the attention; you’re seeing compromised fertility, foot and leg breakdown, udder failure, and therefore early culling. And darn it, that is precisely what history and long-term evaluations from the USDA Meat Animal Research Center (MARC) germplasm reports have warned about across the numerous cycles of their multi-breed evaluation. At BSG we don’t just talk about maternal ability. We continually prove it. We’re proud to be one of the strongest $Cow Productivity Index (Calving-Ease, Adequate Growth, Longevity, Milk) programs in America. Even before $CPI was introduced in late 2024, our selection philosophy incorporated $Durham - calving ease, low birth impact, “growth with a governor,” and proven longevity. Plus we have always evaluated structural soundness, fleshing ease and udder quality as foundational traits, not just added bonuses. While many breeders lean more heavily towards “big pounds now,” we’ve been anchoring growth inside a configuration of maternal integrity. And the difference does matter. In 2026, replacement female prices are expected to break all-time records due to the long-anticipated national cow herd rebuilding process. Every cow that leaves the herd before having her 5th calf is a lost investment. Every later maturing heifer that grows “bigly” but fails to breed on time costs exponentially more! As most race to market the heaviest steers, many are forgetting that their dams may be expensive liabilities. The logic is simple: if you don’t sustain your female base, your gains in steer performance will be eaten by replacement costs and diminishing herd quality. Anyone reading this sale catalog knows that Shorthorns in their most basic elements are a hardy, maternal breed with a free and natural genetic redisposition for carcass or meat quality (Marbling). If we let the breed be pulled too far into terminal selection (YW, CW, REA), we risk unraveling decades of progress. Over the past 20 years, we as a breed have advanced fertility, structural soundness, udder quality, and stayability. Turning away from that is flat out self-defeating! We know from watching folks enter and exit this breed (and others) over the years, the future of the cow business belongs to those who build mama cow herds that last, not those that have the biggest cows on the block. Yes, growth is essential, but it must be backed by reproductive performance and longevity. In 2026 and beyond, the “Maternal vs. Terminal Cow Herd Factor” will determine who thrives, those who struggle, and who gets out of the business. BSG is staying steadfast: • Maternal first. • Pounds second. • Profit always. Resources W. Snelling- “Genetic Correlations among Weight and Cumulative Productivity of Crossbred Beef Cows.” T.

BASIN is a genetic masterpiece in today’s Shorthorn beef business and could be a big part of the future of this outstanding, maternally-oriented breed. An own son of 46Y, a storied dam who is known for making outcross A.I. sires, we feel her best son yet is this beautifully colored, flawlessly assembled May 2023 stud. His unique combination of Calving Ease, ideal Growth curve, Stayability and Marbling puts him in rare company. His G+ genomic reading from Top Genomics, LLC cements his capabilities as a supreme female maker. Starting from the ground up and rump forward, one would be hard pressed to find an individual so well assembled and functionally made. BASIN was thought by many to be too small and too immature at the time we bought him, he’s all but that, and in reality [the data] tells a different story. He made freezable semen right at 12 months of age. He was quickly snatched up by Cattle Visions A.I. company in the Spring of 2024 and has been one of their highest selling Shorthorns with only conventional semen sales for all of 2025, and this fall it could get hotter. When it comes down to how the cattle perform, they aren’t slow, although average BW is in the 80’s. His limited number of bull calves for in the spring of 2025 actually weaned off this fall with a combined average Weaning Weight Ratio (WR) of 110! And this was up against some powerful calves sired by the likes of multiple sires including Liberty Valance. No wonder BASIN’s WW EPD is starting to climb… Consider the bred heifers on the following pages carrying his service, all steeped in tremendous cow-maker pedigrees, to make those cattle that will lead Shorthorns in the right direction for distinction in the global, quality-based, beef & cow/calf markets.

It All Matters
YES, maternal matters. YES, calving ease matters. YES, growth matters. YES, dry matter intake matters. YES, sustained cow fertility matters. YES, profitable longevity matters. YES, structure matters. YES, downward pressure on mature size matters. YES, muscle mass matters. And YES, end-product merit matters. IT ALL MATTERS. That’s why we use $Durham and other economic selection $indexes in our mating selections. Because with $indexes, we can select all the traits of value at the same time, and make progress at a faster rate.
“If your seedstock provider doesn’t use or discourages you from using EPDs and genetic tools to make decisions, they truly have only their own success in mind and not yours.

The female not selected by the winning bidder stays in the BSG breeding program. Whoa boys, look at these next two! Old School, but waaaaay Cool! And honestly, they’re pretty much timeless, in our mind. These are actually, in the flesh, Ulta 12J daughters born here in Greens Fork, America. And their dam? None other than the legendary power cow, Ms. Saskvalley Maggie 73R… These females would be flushmates to Saskvalley BANJO 268B, that was injured and left our program too soon, and the great Leveldale Maximus (better known as the sire of the superstar - “Triton” from our friends at Wise’s Shorthorns and Shady Maple Farms.) Anyway, we’ve been lost on what to do on these females. We never ever, ever planned to market them, but we received a couple calls over the last 12 months about these two females in particular and decided to only let go of only ONE of them. So here they are, The last of Maggie 73R.

Gilman’s Myrtle 8H - Dam of Lot 29
It’s no secret, I flat-out love this one. If you’ve heard about Myrtle 8H, the crazy high $CPI cow, you already know I believe she’s one of the great cows in Greens Fork. She’s proving her worth through daughters like BSG 2427 and the standout 2025-born bulls at Gilman’s in Iowa. And folks, this daughter is something special. She’s currently the #1 Weaning Weight bred heifer in the entire breed, and yet she doesn’t look like one of those giant, harder doing projects that make you pull out the feed bucket mid summer. She’s the picture of moderation and efficiency. Super dense and heavy but not bigger framed than average…around here, we call that “Pounds in the Right Package.” Plus, BSG 2427 isn’t just elite on paper. She’s the kind that could get fat on straw and water. She’s soft, sound, balanced, and beautiful. Secure her, calve her, and never let her leave your place or the ET center. You’re building on one of the most important cow families to the Shorthorn breed today.

When Jason & Kylie Catts of Futurity Shorthorns, Australia, were here this fall, they pointed her out in the bred heifer sort, and an hour later suggested her dam was their ideal kind in the cow pasture. Gilman’s have acquired two outstanding sisters to BSG 2435 in the past few years. And her little full sister is a knock out in the weaned calf pen. Enough said.

She’s one of the best in the sale for these traits, and her design matched with BASIN’s makes that upcoming calf one to look out for!

Breed her to any purebred Shorthorn and all resulting calves will be purebreds as well. Man, these young heifers just have it together; I really wish we weren’t selling as many as we are because they are what we’ve been striving for, for a long time… The Kiss cow family comes from Waukaru and her Thermal Energy dam, BSG 1944, was Phil’s favorite cow on the farm these last few years. Yeah, she’s got a shot of Angus in her, but she’s a 7/8 purebred that traces way back to Connealy Danny, a high $Energy superstar who really kicked our small ShorthornPlus program into high gear about 10 years ago.

Beautiful, angular, black commercial bred females that could be carrying your next ShorthornPlus show heifers, no doubt. If their BASIN calves are bulls, well, you may have just raised your next champion blue steer.
While responsible genetic organizations and their clients gravitate toward seeking out data that balance the complete lifecycle of the beef cow and her offspring in order to find which cattle more are profitable, so too can cattlemen reading this sale catalog via the $Durham index. This economic selection index engages the full suite of profit driving EPDs for an all-purpose approach, seeking out animals that will truly affect the progressive rancher’s bottom line. Stockmen incorporating modern Shorthorn genetics into their herd aim to utilize the breed to inject maternal function, therefore generating highervalued replacement females. $Durham recognizes this, and rewards sires whose progeny will excel at calving ease, fleshing ability and built-in longevity, while promoting moderate pay weight and keeping mature size in check. Further, the index considers a balanced, total production scenario where not only are daughters retained, but the valuable male calves are marketed on a carcass grade and yield basis.

Sells Open The natural daughter of the Rhinestone 458B donor who has made a lot of friends over the years through her masterful production. We have sold Rhinestone embryos all over the planet due to her phenotypic superiority, outcross pedigree and desirable data. This is a really nice female out of an old proven bull we bought late in his life after serving Sammy Richardson in Oklahoma so well for years. And we were sad to only be able to use the old GOLD BAND bull for one year before we lost him. Look in…
Sells Open Balance and Beauty, Form and Function best describe the final female cataloged in this sale program. She’s no slouch and may end up being the best cow of them all when it is said and done. I’m serious too. INDEX semen is rare and hard to get, her dam has the most volume and barrel of any in that fall calving herd with ample milk, and is a tick different bred than a lot of cattle on offer, but again, she’s another good, blue collar Studer-prefixed cow. But look deeper and you’ll see she is Leveldale bred. Two AWESOME Shorthorn programs! Buy her, take her, breed her, make money with her. It’s all Profit by De$ign.

BSG BENEFIT 2436 comes to you with an appendix-free Shorthorn pedigree that is 100% Canadian bred. Combining two of the best animals that ever wore the “Saskvalley” brand, BENEFIT is sired by the ultra cowmaker, BONANZA, and according to our inventory sheet, he’s the VERY LAST embryo calf we have out of the legendary power cow, MAGGIE 73R. Remember, the Power Cow 73R was the dam of several great Shorthorn A.I. sires like TASK FORCE, Mapleton Earl, PROFITWISE, Leveldale Maximus, BANJO, and others up & comers like MASSIVE MAJOR at Studer’s in Iowa and BSG 105K at Bergstroms in Wyoming. Cheers to 73R’s legacy!

Genetic Outlier or better said; “2425 is a Search King!” – Those were some nice words from a top notch Shorthorn breeder who sorts the database on the hunt for genetic outliers on a regular basis. When it comes to total body mass, volume & capacity, and a very muscular shape plus a masculine, bully, superbreed-character look, well, if you liked INDEX you’ll love BSG EXPEDITE 2425. Just try to find a young sire that spreads CE/BW to YW as well as he does with his elite STAY figures, plus ranked in the very top of the Top 1% for MARB, and NO bulls his age in the entire global Shorthorn population can hold water at his elite levels of genetic greatness! To take it further, his is an extraordinarily deep and soft THERMAL ENERGY son out of what we feel is the best Gauge cow we’ve ever seen.

I am not the biggest fan of this bull’s picture, but it was a 90 degree late August day and we were all done for the day except for him, so we snatched a picture on the side of a hill and called it a day. This is the beef bull supreme of the Four Man Clan, as we like to call them. If they were on the halter, it would be close, but he might be able to win the class with his bone work, squareness and a hip that just does not stop. BSG EMBARGO is a high growth future superstar for the breed who comes at you in a very dense yet very moderate and tanky package, just like his popular donor dam, YY BREE ELOISE 441B. She was a total outcross DOVER daughter, that was our pick of the females at Ralph Larson’s YY Ranch in western Montana. This upper echelon $CPI, wide strutting power bull is exceptionally cool. If you want to make Shorthorns great again, crank your dial on this dude.

There is no doubt the industry is calling for MORE pounds… and here is a KING! BSG CONTANGO 2407 ET is a masterful growth sire while keeping BW in check… What does that mean? - It means you CAN add MORE pounds of WW & YW and still REDUCE BW. CONTANGO is a special deal and he is a dollar maker! His $Durham is top tier, $CPI is in the Top 20% of the breed, plus STAY is super high. Again, he’s a high octane, direct son of the performance legend, Ms. LASSIE 2024. Want to make those impressive feeder calves? With this dude you do it, and do it right, folks. In his best selling book, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, Steven R. Covey said, “Begin with the end in mind.” That is something we first learned from friend and progressive Hereford breeder Doug Gerber, and it’s what we do every day at BSG. We followed the same code when we put in this catalog together too. We started with Lassie 2024’s legacy, and we are rounding out the offering the same way. Way to go, old girl.

Stand Deliver AND
THE SHORTHORN OPPPORTUNITY
No matter our breeding goals or marketing philosophies, every Shorthorn breeder in America is fighting the same fight, believe it or not. We ALL want to restore this great breed to the level of relevance and respect it once commanded. Decades ago, the Shorthorn was the most influential beef breed in the world. Today, traces of that blood still exist and that legendary legacy still lives on in our herds, and they both manifest in our potential tomorrow. But as a football coach once told me, “potential” can be a bad word, as potential alone isn’t enough! It’s time to stand and deliver. The FACT is, no breed on the planet matches the Shorthorn’s combination of maternal superiority, remarkable docility, industry leading stayability, carcass quality, and genetic diversity. These cattle truly bring together fertility, efficiency, and profitable longevity like few others can. Their notable marbling and tenderness give them an advantage at the meat counter. And when properly selected, Shorthorns offer the balance and moderation that modern beef production desperately needs. The world is watching and waiting for an alternative to the most popular breed out there today. Not to take anything away from these popular dark-hided cattle, they have done a heck of a job, but we all know the fertility and longevity downside seen in the commercial world when there is straight breeding of a singular breed of cattle generation after generation. The world needs a breed that can complement black-hided programs with more maternal integrity, greater carcass consistency, and cows that simply stay in the herd longer. In that global conversation, there are only two serious contenders left — and the Shorthorn has the chance to prove it is the one that truly delivers. The argument can no longer be about show barns vs. bull pens, or seedstock vs. commercial goals. It’s about standing shoulder to shoulder, together, for a common cause. That cause is building a breed that makes a measurable difference in profitability and sustainability for cattlemen around the world. The time is now for unity. Today is the day for progress. It’s high time to remind the beef industry that the most versatile, balanced, and forward-thinking cattle carry one name… Shorthorn. The opportunity is here. The world is ready. Now it’s on us as a membership to Stand and Deliver.
