To The PointTheStockman’sKind

MCGP

Please Join Us.....On behalf of the entire Coggins Family we would like to extend our invitation for each of you to join us November 11 and 12 at Blackwater Cattle Company for our annual Stockmans's Kind Bull Sale, Elite Female Sale, and Commercial Brangus Female Sale. Competion for bulls was high last year and then we pomised to add more bulls to the sale in 2011. We have increased numbers to 150 bulls so hope all our great customers can fulfill your needs. Come see us in November and enjoy your time at Blackwater. We’ll treat you right, feed you well, and offer you a relaxed atmosphere to visit with other good folks from the beef business. Our annual Steak Supper on Friday night will be prepared by our family, and will also be highlighted with a Cajun Extravaganza prepared by our good friend Craig Neal from Morganza, Louisiana.

The Bulls.....The bulls offered in The Stockman’s Kind 2011 Bull Sale at Blackwater Cattle Company are impressive! The measured facts are better than ever before and you can compare from the chart below. We guarantee the bulls will stand your evaluation, we guarantee the bulls will be the best you have ever owned, and we guarantee the bulls will stand your test. We know you get tired of weeding through pages of hype so we will simply ask you to compare the bulls in our catalog against all other sale offerings. We believe our stock will stand your evaluation and the facts behind our bulls stands on merit. We know you guys are smart enough to sort it all out. We believe the quality of our stock bulls match the level of our passion for what we do.....Raise beef bulls. Come see the bulls. They sell themselves. Nuff said.

Commercial Heifers.....A sterling group of 150 commercial Brangus heifers will sell at the conclusion of the Brangus Bull Sale. There will be pairs, breds, and open heifers. All the facts related to these heifers are outlined in detail on page 59 of this book.

Naming Our Bulls.....We've been asked a few times why we don't give our top bulls special names. Fact is, we do name our long term bulls but only after they sell, only if they are deserving, and only with the input from their new owners. We only choose to name those bulls we believe are herd sire prospect material and will make a future impression in the Brangus breed.

Don’t Let Anyone Fool You. Pounds Really Are Important…..Since we were in the commercial beef business long before we decided to start a seedstock Brangus program we have a different take than most on this side of that line. We know a bull must stay in the pasture, must work every day, must stay sound, and do all of this while creating more value in each of the calves he sires for us. We still sell pounds! Pounds at weaning time, pounds on grass, pounds of gain in the feedlot, pounds of calves their replacement daughters will raise, and pounds on the rail hanging upside down. We believe in raising pounds, converting pounds of feed to pounds of gain, raising more pounds on grass, selling more pounds of muscle and marbling. Doing more on less each year!

Our cow herd thrives on forage so their sons will as well. That’s a fact, end of story. Our bulls are gain tested to yearling time in 20 acre traps, not in a feedlot. After gain test bulls are summered in large pastures on “bread and water” and culled religiously as they separate themselves apart for soundness, quality, and keeping ability. Yes, we expect more than other from our bulls and we will show you bulls a set of bulls that have done more than others. You be the judge.

TheStockman’sKind

The Coggins family has a very simple approach to their agribusiness company, “quality is mandatory, produce the best product possible, and treat people right.”

That approach dictates every decision they make in their farm produce company, farm supply company, commercial cow/calf operation, and registered Brangus seedstock program.

Mike Coggins, and the extended Coggins family, operates Blackwater Cattle Company, Coggins Farm Supply, and Circle C Produce in Georgia and Florida. They call Lake Park, Georgia home but are just three miles from the Florida line with about 60% of their total operation located in Florida. The cattle entity is named for the dark water found throughout

this region of the country flowing in the nearby cypress swamps and abundant in this area of South Georgia.

Their operation is a diverse, multi-faceted agribusiness enterprise where every segment must complement the other highlighted by utilizing their cull produce production as an important feed source for their cattle programs. Their produce business encompasses 5000 irrigated acres of tomatoes, green beans, bell peppers, cucumbers, corn, cantaloupe, blackberries, and blueberries with another 3000 acres devoted strictly to carrot production.

Mike Coggins takes the lead on the cattle program and he is joined in the family enterprise with his father, Felton and brother, Kevin; uncles Edwin

and Gerald; and cousins Jade and Kelsey, and Anthony. Mike is a third generation farmer and rancher. Perry Coggins, Mike’s grandfather, raised dairy cattle and tobacco starting in the 1940’s. These were sold in the ‘70’s but the family had beef cattle, corn, cotton and soybeans well into the ‘80’s. The farm supply stored opened in 1974 and still supplies local farmers today.

In 1987 the Coggins family started raising vegetables and in 2000 they decided to bring cattle back into the program. Once the family made the decision to re-enter the commercial cattle business their research led them to Brangus females. They were attracted to this polled breed’s mothering ability, calf raising value, total pounds of weaned production, heat tolerance, disease resistance, longevity, maternal traits, adaptability, foraging ability, and of course their black hide.

Today Blackwater Cattle Company runs close to 500 commercial Brangus and Brangus derivative females expected to calve in a very strict 60 day calving season in the fall. A big part of the commercial herd is bred A.I. at the beginning of each breeding season using the best genetics in the country from Mound Creek and Blackwater.

In 2003, Mike analyzed their program’s strength and weaknesses realizing they needed to add power from the sire side. “We started looking for top quality registered Brangus bulls, and visited lots of ranches across the country. We were impressed with the power we found in Mound Creek’s offering and their willingness to share their thoughts and views on breeding cattle. We were very defined in the type of bull we wanted. We needed sound footed bulls, optimal maternal traits, strong scrotal measurements, improved carcass merit, and we wanted to add pounds to our calves at weaning and later gain in the feedlot. We demanded bulls that were the soundest we could find, complete and overall a total package. The Coggins crew looked all over the country and “the Mound Creek bulls were the best,” he describes. In 2003 they purchased a number of bulls from Mound Creek Ranch in Texas and to this day maintain a close relationship with Mound Creek.

A couple of years later one of the best seedstock herds in the country came available so the family scratched another itch and added a registered Brangus program. From this initial purchase Blackwater identified superior cows and placed them in embryo transfer. These cows included several important program Summit Cows, 4C Ms Lead Gun 192P4, 4C Ms Lead Gun 12N, and other donors representing the productive cow families numbered 487, 535, and 647. Other current Blackwater donors include MC Ms Extravagant 889P4, MC Ms Extravagant 129P12, RBM Ms Lead Gun 129S8, MC Ms Dateline 111L2, and MC Ms Dateline 111L10, collectively representing three of the most prolific and famed cow families in the entire Brangus breed. “We did not necessarily intend to jump into embryo transfer this quick, but felt if we were going to be competitive in producing the best bulls in the country then we needed to utilize our best cows to the highest degree possible

in reaching this objective,” recognized Coggins.

The registered cows are treated daily just like the commercial cows. Extensive weights and measures are taken on both commercial and registered production that include weaning weights, yearling weights, pelvic measures, carcass merit ultrasound measures, annual calving records, etc. “About the only thing different between our two cow herds is that we do weigh our registered calves at birth and we have a spring calving season to complement our fall calving season for our registered cows. Other than that we pretty much demand they do things alike.”

Blackwater Cattle Company is a genetic partner with Mound Creek and this Brangus Bull and Commercial Female Sale marks their fourth annual production marketing event. The Coggins clan believes their location straddling the Georgia/Florida line and just off Interstate 75 provides the ideal location to service the cattle producing states in the Southeastern part of the United States. Come to the Bull Sale and you will be treated right, made to feel welcome, and fed like never before.

It is apparent the entire Coggins clan loves family, friends, hard work, the world of agriculture, and their Brangus cattle. When you visit Blackwater Cattle Company you are guaranteed seeing an impressive Brangus seedstock operation, but more importantly, meeting a family that truly understands the value of God, country, family, and friends. They are dedicated to treating folks right and producing a quality product at the highest level. Perhaps even greater than their high quality of farm produce or cattle is the quality of the Coggins family itself. They embody the spirit of the American farmer and rancher having lived solely from the land and its blessing for what will soon be four generations.

Registration Number: Bulls noted with “R” number are Registered Bran-gus. Those noted with a “C” number are Certified Brangus and are either 1/4 or 1/2 Brahman influence. “UB” lots are blended genetic bulls from Brangus and percentage parentage. “UB” bulls are Ultra-Blacks, indicat-ing they are a Brangus-Angus blend. “AX” recorded bulls are appendix registered purebred Brangus that have non-typical Brangus color pattern.

Polled/Scurs: Denotes bulls that are either smooth polled or have the presence of scurs or slick spots. Those bulls noted as “scurs” typically have had scurs removed post-weaning.

Pedigree: Denotes sire, dam, and maternal grandparents.

Summit Cow or Summit Sire: Are noted in pedigrees with the word Sum-mit or the abbreviation (Sum). Initially, a cow must calve at 30 months of age or younger. She must then maintain a calving interval of 380 days or less, weaning at least 3 calves with weaning weights recorded for all calves. Finally, the weaning weight ratio for all calves must average at least 105%. Once a Summit Cow has earned her distinction she will al-ways be noted as such. A sire is given Summit status once he has at least 5 daughters reach Summit Cow status.

Individual PerformanceBirth Weight (BW): Actual weight at birth, expressed in pounds.Weaning Weight (205): Weaning weight adjusted to a constant 205 days. Takes into account differences in days of age at weaning time and age of dam at birth.Weaning Weight (Ratio): A direct comparison of an individual to all other individuals in its weaning contemporary group. Expressed as a per-centage with 100 being the average for the group.Yearling Weight (365): Yearling weight adjusted to a constant 365 days. Takes into account differences in days of age at yearling time, average daily gain post-weaning, and adjusted 205 weight.Yearling Weight (Ratio): A direct comparison of an individual to all other individuals in its yearling contemporary group. Expressed as a percent-age with 100 being the average for the group.Scrotal Circumference (SC): Testicular circumference, measured in centi-meters, and adjusted to 365 days of age.Fat (FAT): Measured in inches and adjusted to 365 days.Intramuscular Fat (IMF): Measured as a percentage and used as a pre-dictor of genetic marbling value.Ribeye Area (REA): Measured in square inches and used as a predictor of ribeye size.

Expected Progeny DifferenceExpected Progeny Difference (EPD): The genetic predictor of how future progeny of each animal are expected to perform relative to the progeny of other animals listed in the breed database.

EPD Accuracy: Since all bulls in this catalog are non-parents, their accu-racies are the lowest calculated by our national sire evaluation program. Every EPD reported is either current or an interim EPD. An EPD noted with a “P” is a pedigree EPD which is the average of the parent’s EPDs.

Birth Weight EPD (BW): Expressed in pounds, predicts calf size and calv-ing ease.Weaning Weight EPD (WW): Expressed in pounds, is a predictor of an animal’s ability to transmit weaning growth to its progeny.Yearling Weight EPD (YW): Expressed in pounds, is a predictor of an animal’s ability to transmit yearling growth to its progeny.Milk EPD (Milk): Predicts a sire’s genetic merit for milk and mothering ability as expressed in his daughters compared to daughters of other sires. In other words, it is that part of a calf’s weaning weight attributed to milk and mothering ability.Maternal & Growth EPD (MG): Expressed in pounds, a genetic predic-tor of weaning weight by blending a combination of maternal milk and weaning weight value.Scrotal Circumference EPD (SC): Measured in centimenters at yearling time, predicts testicular size.Fat Thickness (FAT): Expressed in inches, is a predictor of transmitting ability for external fat thickness and correlates to fleshing ability and fat cover at harvest time.Intramuscular Fat (IMF): Expressed as a percentage, is a predictor of transmitting ability for marbling or intra-muscular fat correlating to USDA quality grade at harvest time.Ribeye Area (REA): Expressed in square inches, is a predictor of transmit-ting ability of ribeye size and overall muscle mass which is a key compo-nent in USDA yield grades.

Staggering breeding value wrapped up in these two embryo sisters. Each represent those eye appeal EPDs we all appreciate such as impressive design, big tops, pretty front ends, middle to spare and width from end to end. Those items are a very small part of the difference these two heifers will make in any well designed genetic program. Their Hall of Fame sire has already established his place in breeds records as the bull that bridges the gap between show ring and pasture value. Their dam is a very cool story as well and one we feel has already established greatness in the herd. We sold the pick of our entire 2009 heifer crop at Houston in 2010 for $23,000 to Lee McGarity’s Vanna Farm. After an exhaustive search the best daughter of MC Ms Extravagant 889P4 was selected. From a 72 lb. birth weight this red carpet Lead Gun daughter weighed over 800 lbs. at weaning and 1073 lbs at yearling time when she scanned a 14.4 inch ribeye and 5.8% IMF value. Those four ratios were 111%, 111%, 112%, and 111%. Serious set of numbers that matched this young females unbelievable good looks and even more impressive pedigree. Since we could not contain our excitement 889W28 was placed in an IVF embryo program resulting in the two powerhouse heifers selling as Lots 2 and 3.

Palpated safe to MC BW Flight Deck 889W4 to natural service dates of 5-5-2011 to 7-15-2011.

She covers all the areas of economic importance and was one of the top three heifers from her calving season. Pretty tough competition considering all the great sisters to the bulls selling here. This Stryker daughter is out of MC Ms Freight Liner 000M22, the great Summit Cow and full sister to six time trait leader MC New Direction who sired the pounds powerhouse Revelation. Incredible genetic reach from this bred heifer that ranks in the breed’s top 2% for M&G, 3% WW, 4% YW, 5% pure Milk, 10% REA, and still in best third for IMF. We can sacrifice this superstar because she was an IVF heifer for us in the spring and we will have a couple calves from her next year.

We love this heifer and only have her in the sale because the bred heifer we had picked for this slot injured herself. Went through the top end of our bred heifers, all out on grass all year long, and 624X3 looked like she had been on feed and ready for the spotlight. Grabbed her up, took her picture, and then realized we sold her full sister last year to Quail Creek Brangus where she is now in their donor pens. This year’s version was never intended to sale but our loss will be another’s gain. The two heifers we just mentioned weighed 740 lbs. and 761 lbs. adjusted 205 to ratio 110% and 111% respectively. Their sister born in 2007 weighed over 800 lbs. at weaning time. Pretty obvious this grand old cow, CCC Miss News Day 624J, is amazing and just weaned a Something Special bull calf over 800 lbs. You guessed it. She’s on her way to the donor pens.

Palpated safe to MC BW Flight Deck 889W4 to natural service dates of 5-5-2011 to 7-15-2011.

Our Rock Star daughters are herd favorites and we anticipate so many good herd sires will come from these Rock Stars in the future. Our Rock Stars are very uniform, very complete, and will be the kind to work with a wide variety of sire lines. We have high hopes for Rock Star because for two reasons. Jethro and NMSU Miss 924. The Jethro daughters are awesome and are fulfilling our highest expectations. Of course most can recall the story of the old 924 cow. In the deserts of New Mexico she had nine calves in a row while maintaining a calving interval of 367 days while her dam calved 16 straight seasons and stayed at 363 day calving interval. A maternal sister to 129X19 sold last year to Draggin M for $14,000 so the family continues to prove powerful and profitable.

Open and ready to breed this fall.

This Flight Deck daughter is remarkable and certainly the longest bodied, biggest hipped heifer from her calving group. That is saying plenty. Note the staggering breeding value from 889P4, Tank, and the 111 cow family. We hooked Nimitz up with 889P4 looking for a calving ease choice with extra marbling and milk value. We hit the jackpot because we do get those benefits from him, but that only scratches the surface. We love our Flight Decks and he packs a genetic punch few bulls can claim. Land your plane on this Flight Deck daughter.

Her dam was selected as one of the Top Five from her age group so went into an IVF embryo transfer program. BWCC Ms Jethro 158W blended a 105% weaning index and 110% yearling ratio with the incredible carcass ratios of 123% for ribeye area and 117% for marbling potential.

This big topped, long ribbed heifer is very attractive, appealing and can offer all the ingredients of any good long term cow. Her dam is now bred for her fourth straight spring calf. Her first two sons earned adjusted weaning weights of 791 lbs. and 796 lbs. This heifer will adjust over 700 lbs. as well. This blend of Nimitz and New Direction is the same genetic blend that produced MC Revelation 129T who is the #1 ranked trait leader for weaning weight and yearling weight. Additionally, the 980L cow is out of a long time donor and a Summit Cow 980G15. This heifer’s pedigree EPDs currently project her to rank in the top 5% for WW, 10% for YW, 2% for pure Milk, 1% for M&G, 15% for REA, and 30% for IMF.

She’s a sure sale attraction and the kind of heifer that helped start the breed buzzing about Nuff Said. Hard to fault, easy to love, and bred full of genetic great ones this heifer comes from a cow that has a nursing ratio of 103% for six calves. Cadence and Newsmaker on the bottom side are both giants in our breed and that is ramped up even more by adding our own breed giant 889P4 and the Summit cow 165K through Tank. The cool heifer ranks in the top 10% for both weaning and yearling weight, top 15% for pure Milk and SC, and top 10% for M&G. Lots of ways to go in breeding her this season, but Flight Deck would sure be a can’t miss choice.

Go on record stating this one can’t miss. Our Jethro daughters are fantastic and weaned a super set of calves this spring. Breed back was excellent and their body condition coming to the weaning pen with a big set of calves in the worst drought in Texas history was unbelievable by all measures and standards. The dam of this elite heifer is remarkable in her ratio of weaning weight to cow weight. This moderate sized first calf heifer has a perfect udder and bred back for her second fall calf. Our daughters of Guns are equally exciting. We have never seen a sire whose daughters have such early breed up rate, calve first time at such a young age, wean pounds heavy calves, and then breed back to stay in season. You can tell by these notes those traits we really get excited about. Those are the ones that keep us in this business in tough times.

She is the daughter of our $25,000 high selling female from our 2010 Elite Female Sale and a full sister to the impressive herd sire prospect calf that was at side of the young cow. That was two outstanding calves in a row which is standard operating procedures from those daughters of MC Ms Kitten 129M who is one of the highest Milk EPD cows in the entire breed and now a donor at Blackwater. The picture just cannot do justice to the depth and quality of this heifer. She has a massive rib, big top, an abundance of body mass, and yet still paints an attractive picture with style and grace. Another one of those incredible Nuff Said daughters.

Many will consider this the female to buy. She is rare and valuable with the family heritage to fuel demand and desires. She is the full sister to the $38,000 Rock Star, $49,000 OnStar, and $35,000 Elegido. Additionally she has four other sister to sell before her averaging $14,000. Another full sister is the dam of the incredible MC Righteous 924X2 who sold 200 straws of semen in March at Mound Creek for more than $50,000. Her most famous sister is the reigning Grand Champion Heifer from the 2011 National Junior Brangus Heifer Show. When considering this heifer remember her extraordinary donor dam that calved her first 9 seasons with a 367 day interval and then her incredible grand dam that calved 16 straight seasons to keep a 363 day calving interval. Might be the last chance to get on board with one of the 924 daughters.

Rock Star was Jethro’s first son bringing $38,000 in 2009. Our heavy use of Rock Star was well rewarded with an awesome set of sons and an incredible set of replacement daughters. His first daughter to sell brought $15,000 in March at Mound Creek and his first sons were the high averaging sire group at the 2011 Mound Creek Bull Sale. The Rock Star sons are the right kind blending light birth weights, moderate frame, muscle, appeal, soundness, and fleshing ability with solid measured facts. Rock Star’s dam is the super cow that had a 367 day calving interval for 9 calves (then to the donor barn) and his unbelievable grand dam calved 16 straight springs maintaining a calving interval of 363 days. This history of fertility, udder quality, hoof soundness adds to his genetic value with daughters certain to make long term great cows.

Great place to start this sale of elite stockman bulls. He has been a favorite since birth due to his light birth weight, impressive dam, and overall quality pedigree stacked from top to bottom with breeding value based on all areas of economic importance. His mother is certain to make our future donor barn and was the very top heifer of her birth season. She has a second straight fall calf at side and offers the genetic promise passed down from her long time quality family tree. The maternal grand dam of this exciting stud prospect has been a long time donor for both Mound Creek and Blackwater. Look over this extraordinary future herd sire and note an impressive look combined with super correctness of hoof and leg, quality disposition, ample rib, ideal frame size, plenty of body mass, and one of the longest ribs in the entire sale. Finally, after getting excited about the package look under the hood and see that carcass value is overflowing mixing a 16 inch ribeye and 6% IMF value! Like his name sake this cat is a very cool Rock Star and one we plan on using for the long term.

He is very appealing and one to strongly consider as your next all around herd sire candidate. One of the real fault free bulls to sell this year with an easy temperament, impressive dam, immortal sire, and great family history. This junior herd sire prospect ranks in the Top 10% for weaning weight, 15% for yearling weight and milk value, 10% for total maternal, 30% for scrotal, 4% for ribeye area, and 5% for IMF value. As you can see he will be very easy to compliment any EPD issues in your cow herd. Additionally, we used a full brother to Lot 25 in 2010 and their neat dam has been collected in our embryo program 5 times averaging 14.2 embryos per collection. This lot stacks impressive breeding value with Jethro, Quiet Man, and Cool Hand. His maternal grand dam is also the dam of the #2 Ribeye bull in the breed and an important herd sire for our good friends at Hayman’s 711. This mild mannered prospect is easy to like.

As expected from our Rock Star sons this neat prospect is easy to like and fault-free from just about any angle. Easy size to use in any herd Lot 37 is also one of the longest ribbed in the sale offering, heavy structured and big hipped. He takes a true step and is easy in the pens and on the people around him. His dam is sired by the multiple trait leader New Direction so she would be a paternal sister to the performance powerhouse MC Revelation 129T. The second dam noted in this pedigree is the cow many consider one of the top three in our entire herd. Our 192 family tree is well known and well documented for milk, marbling and more. Lot 37 ranks in the breed’s top 15% for WW, 20% for Milk, 15% for M&G, 10% for SC, and 10% for REA.

This standout herdsire candidate is certain to attract a crowd due to his impressive resume, genetic background, and overall incredible design and phenotype. He covers all areas of economic importance through his measured numbers and family heritage. Take note of the fantastic genetic blend he brings to any herd with Jethro, Rock Star, Miss NMSU 924, Tank, Real Deal, New Direction, Lead Gun, News Day, and the list goes on. From his modest birth weight this all-around choice explodes with pounds to yearling weight time. Additionally, he covers all the carcass bases with impressive blend of IMF and REA insuring his continuation of the most certain line of carcass traits in our breed. Without question, once his yearling measures are incorporated in the next EPD evaluation you will see all genetic predictors improve, in particular yearling weight and both carcass measures. Our bull sale this year offers the best herd sire prospects we have sold to date. Considering MC Rock Star 708X7 it is impossible to say there is one any better in the entire sale.

Every breeder who has seen this incredible herd sire candidate, since he was a calf at side of his phenomenal dam, has felt he was as good as we have ever raised. Most felt he was the best they have ever seen. We are not completely certain we can go through with letting him go. However and bottom line, MC Nuff Said 192X is one more good hoss and is the best son of his great sire! We have long considered his dam as one of the top two cows at Blackwater. Says quite a lot when you put any cow in the same breath as MC Ms Extravagant 889P4. Consider this sensational pedigree history blended with all-around great measured facts. His 5.8% IMF value ratioed 121% against contemporaries and his 16.8 in. ribeye speaks for the muscle contribution 192X will offer. Additionally, the red carpet dams in his pedigree contribute limitless maternal and carcass value and read as their own Who’s Who of great ones.

Selling: 100% possession, two-thirds (2/3) breeding interest, and four (4) IBBA ownership rights.

A certain sale favorite due to his sensational sire, fertile dam, measured facts, and cow family heritage. We believe in this good prospect so we will keep a breeding interest in case we decide to put him in our AI line-up down the road. One of the long sided bulls in this sale he is also heavy boned, deep ribbed and correct from end to end. A big topped selection with a square hip and plenty of testicle size are sure items you will also like in 111X5. His maternal grand dam is a full sister to 111X10 and 111X2, each donor cows that have raised herd sires. In fact refer back to Lot 1 and you find this same good family clan. The dam of this lot has seven fall calves with an average weaning weight over 700 lbs. for six. For some reason one of those calves is missing from IBBA data base and could have been missed when we were transitioning this herd from Texas to Georgia in 2006. Note his excellent genetic predictors proven by a 117% weaning ratio and 113% yearling ratio. He is one of the younger bulls in sale but certainly one of the best.

He’s an interesting prospect and one that will make an impressive herd sire candidate for practically any herd. Ideal size with an abundance of rib this striking choice is easy fleshing, sure footed, and has superior temperament. Note the big testicles, excellent post weaning gain, and balanced carcass measures. His dam is a herd favorite and is probably going to the donor barn after her next calving. She has a perfect udder, is highly fertile, works with any sire, and offers a pedigree with a different genetic spin. She does not bend the curve for computer generated numbers but does do what every good cow should do. Calve every year with an impressive offspring at side come weaning time. His sire is one of the best all-around sons of Tank known for big ribbed progeny with fleshing ability and soundness of design. Take the time to look this one up. He solves plenty of problems in most herds.

This Rev son is one of the best spread bulls in the sale with a light birth weight and a yearling weight nearing 1300 lbs. His dam is a member of the much sought after 111 cow family from Mound Creek and a donor we consider one of our finest. MC Ms Dateline 111L2 is from a set of full sisters that saw four go into donor programs. The dam of the exciting herd sire prospect selling as Lot 21 is a natural daughter of this same great 111L2 donor cow. Take note Lot 99 has plenty of rib, body length, and overall mass and volume. He is a better version of his sire, Revelation, who is the #1 bull in the entire breed for WW and YW, #5 for REA, and #7 for SC. Once Rev daughters hit the milk pastures we are certain his maternal value will also put him on the trait leader list. Of course the sire of Revelation and grand sire of Lot 99 is MC New Direction 000M24 who is on an unprecedented 6 trait leader lists for WW, YW, M, TM, SC, and REA!

He is one of the EPD powerhouse bulls in this entire sale offering. Top 1% rank for WW, YW, M&G, and REA. Top 4% for pure Milk and top 10% for SC and IMF value. Even more impressive than these genetic predictors is the quality pedigree with the multiple trait leading Revelation, the six time trait leading New Direction, the immortal Tank, and 468G15, the highly acclaimed cow many believe to be the finest Cadence daughter in the breed. This unique herd sire prospect is not going to win many pretty contests, however he is very thick, very long ribbed, very easy fleshing, and very moderate. We know these type of bulls work exceptionally well on sharp lined cows needing more power, frame control, and overall body mass and thickness. Anything with a 468 family number is in high demand so be sure and take a long look here. Might be the answer to your herd problems.

Without question one of the real powerhouse herd sire choices in this offering of great herd sire candidates. This massive topped yearling offers staggering genetic reach with awesome measured numbers and top flight genetic predictors. Even though this bull ranks in the top 1% for WW and M&G, top 2% for YW and top 15% for pure milk, we are certain the overall numbers will improve in the next EPD Evaluation given the opportunity to use and calculate his yearling measures for carcass and performance. Particularly considering his mind blowing blend of 17 in. REA and 6.1% IMF to ratio 111% and 121% respectively. His Real Deal sire is from that same 111 clan so highly regarded and noted in the pedigree of Lot 21 and 73. His paternal grandsire was the $39,000 second high selling yearling in the entire breed for 2006 and his bottom side second dam was the Summit Cow and donor dam that started our 487 family tree. He can sire the pounds, replacement daughters, carcass oriented cattle. He’s the “can do all” sale choice.

This phenomenal herd sire candidate is for those programs who understand the importance of raising beef bulls for our friends in the cow/calf side of our industry. He is rugged, durable, pounds heavy, measured up, and looks like a beef bull. Few bulls will match all his eye traits, even less will match the measured traits, and still less will match his genetic predictors. Of course the fact his donor dam is the all-time great cow MC Ms Extravagant 889P4 puts him in a genetic league few will ever be able to compete. There are eight sons of this great cow represented in this sale and several will end up in registered seedstock herds, as have many other sons in years past. In 2009 we sold MC Dealing It 12U, the sire of Lot 140, and told the world he would be a dominant performance bull.

Like his brother before him this prospect is one of the most valuable genetic packages in a sale full of great breeding value. He offers the unprecedented genetic strength from MC Ms Extravagant 889P4 and the massive power of performance and muscle from MC Dealing It 12U. Collectively all bases are covered with these two in blend. Dealing It weaned nearly 900 lbs. and then adjusted to 1523 lbs. at yearling time while measuring a 17.1 in REA and plenty of IMF. Additionally, MC Dealing It 12U is out of the same cow that produced trait leader MC Straight Line 12R3. Last year our high selling bull was the $26,000 MC Big Deal 889W6 and we also sold BWCC Ms Real Deal 889W8 for $17,000. Both of these lots are bred nearly identical to Lots 140, 141, and 142. These might well be the best yet.

Selling: 100% possession, two-thirds (2/3) breeding interest, and four (4) IBBA ownership rights.

We place this herd sire in such high regard he was used for natural service in the spring on our best group of open heifers. During this breeding season MC Guns 000X39 was turned out at 14 months of age and performed above our best expectations with impressive breed up in the pasture. Even more impressive is the fact he stayed in sensational body condition and never missed a moment in his development. His sire has earned the highest honors at Mound Creek Ranch where other sons have been used as herd sires and daughters are in the donor pens. Note the Jethro daughter in the female section out of a neat young Guns daughter. This all-around herd sire choice is easy on the eyes, very economical in frame size, plenty long bodied, sound of hoof and skeleton, thick ended, big topped, and ideal in underline. His dam is a maternal sister to the six times trait leader MC New Direction 000M24 and is also left a daughter in our herd that is destined for the donor pens. He offers a different spin of pedigree but real power oriented in all measured traits.

150 Bred and Open Commercial Brangus Heifers Will SellFrom Blackwater Cattle Company, Lake Park, Georgia

You can rest assured these quality ranch raised Brangus cattle will be the best front pasture heifers as will sell anywhere in the country this fall. Most of the original commercial cattle in our program came from a large cow/calf operation in Texas that is considered second to none. We take pride in the quality of heifers we raise and sell each year believing strongly that the best commercial Brangus heifers in the country are now raised in the Southeast by Blackwater and our bull buyers.

All these ranch raised heifers sell with a complete health care program centered around modified live Pfizer Select Vac guidelines consisting of two rounds given around October 1 and November 1 to include Bovishield Gold 5 FP for IBR, PI3, BRSV, BVD; Ultrabac 7 for Clostridials; Lepto Vibrio; dewormed with Dectomax injectable; and all Brucellosis vaccinated. All heifers have had Blackleg and boostered at weaning time as well.

The 150 commercial heifers will be individually tagged and sorted prior to the sale for quality, consistency, and uniformity of size, type, breeding status, etc. These Brangus and Brangus Baldie type heifers will sell in groups of five to ten head. We will sell the cattle on a per head basis times the number of heifers in each lot. The heifers will be on display in their respective lots prior to and during the sale.

Heavy Bred Heifers with Tag Numbers 201 to 245 These heavy bred heifers are due from November 25, 2011 to Jan 25, 2012. They are bred to three calving ease sons of the greatest donor cow in Brangus, MC Ms Extravagant 889P4 who has eight sons in this year’s Bull Sale. An awesome set of heifers carrying the best genetic value in the country.

Pairs and Heavy Bred Heifers with Tag Numbers 251 to 290 Texas is suffering through the worst drought anyone can remember. Due to the severe nature of this drought our good friends and bull customers at San Marino Ranch near Bay City, Texas needed to move a set of heifers that was intended to stay as their replacements. These heifers are in a nearly identical modified live vaccination program as Blackwater. The cattle are bred to calving ease bulls from Mound Creek and Blackwater and due from around sale time to January 20, 2012.

Open Heifers with Tag Numbers 301 to 370 A red carpet set of open heifers ready to start breeding season soon after this sale. If you have question regarding what kind of cows they will make just take a look at the impressive bred heifers noted above. These opens are just a year younger and out of the same good cows and sired by Blackwater Brangus bulls. When considering these heifers keep in mind the Open Heifer Breeding Guarantee noted below.

Open Heifer Breeding Guarantee Each customer that buys our commercial open heifers will have the option to take our Open Heifer Breeding Guarantee. At the buyer’s option Blackwater Cattle Company will keep and breed your purchased open heifers. We will breed all heifers from December 10 to March 1 to Blackwater calving ease Brangus bulls, palpate heifers in mid-April, and have all purchased heifers ready for your pick-up at Blackwater no later than May 1, 2012. All heifers that sign up for this program will be guaranteed pregnant at time of pick-up or Blackwater will replace any open heifer with another bred heifer of like kind and quality. Buyer will pay for the purchase price of the heifers at sale time and agree to pay $500 per heifer enrolled at time of pick-up no later than May 1, 2011. Heifers will not be released until proper settlement has been made at time of pick-up. Beginning May 2, 2012 any heifers that have not been picked up will incur a daily charge of $2.00 per head per day. If any interested party has questions or interest in this program please contact any member of the sales team listed in the front of this catalog.
