1 Yearling Bulls LMG GILLS BUCK SKIN March 22, Pen 11 TR Mr Fire Water 5792 RET UCH: M THOMAS Oahe Wind 0772 ETP THOMAS Wisser Sweet 1746 ET BJR Monu 4X-303 LMG Dynette WW: 717 lbs. What, a white calf??? That s right! This guy is 50% Red Angus and 50% Charlais. There is quite the story behind this guy. I will give you the short version. We flushed to Red Dawg a few years ago, little did we know that the semen company mixed up Red Dawg and the Charlais sire, TR Fire Water semen and didn t let us know. (There are a few other white calves running around out there, and a few red ones in the Charlais world). Anyway, we decided since this guy was pretty darn good, and out of a couple really good parents, we would keep him as a bull and see if anyone would want him. His Charlais grand sire is LT Wyoming Wind, who Lindscov Thiel used real hard for several years. His dam is also the cow that raised Vin Diesel. This guy is full of guts and muscle and extra-long bodied. This guy will put a little extra kick into your next calf crop. Come take a look! 158

2 Yearling Bulls LMG GILLS INDEED March23, RED Towaw Indeed 104H GLACIER Divide 310 RED Towaw Molly 67C BJR Monu 4X-303 LMG Dynette WW: 663 lbs. Here he is folks, a full brother to the $23,000 LMG Gills No Doubt 9018W. This guy is extremely classy made, square, smooth shoulder, and good hipped. He has it all. He isn t quite as powerful as No Doubt, but he is smoother and classier than he is. His sire is in high demand, as his semen has sold for over $1000 a straw, and his daughters sell for big bucks. Anytime a son is sold, it tops the sale. It is no wonder either as Indeed s daughters have the prettiest udders you will find, they are easy fleshing, attractive, and smooth made. They know how to produce a top calf year after year as well. The old bull lived to be 9 years old as well. If you are trying to improve your cowherd, I strongly encourage you to buy this guy and use him hard. He might not have the biggest and stoutest bull calves in the pen, but I know that his daughters will raise that type of calf for you year after year. Full brother sells as 169. Dam to Sire to

WW: 611 lbs. OK, this guy has a happy little story to him. We could never find him at weaning. We saw him in early September but then he disappeared. After looking, we discovered his dam wasn t around either. So then we knew he didn t just die somewhere. Finally we found him and his mother on Dec. 23, 2 months after we weaned the other bull calves. He was a pretty big old calf, so we figured we would put him in the sale, he will be a little greener than the others, but he is a real good bull. Someone will get a buy, as he will most likely sell under his value since he isn t quite as shined up as the other bull calves. Come check him out. LMG Miss Roxie LMG Gills Horizon WW: 657 lbs. This real good Full Throttle son is real impressive as he is full of guts, and has a real wide hip. He has a lot of muscle and will sire some real easy fleshing type cattle.

22 Mobridge Livestock 'First Ever Red Angus Only Calf Sale' brings in nearly 4,000 head Amanda Radke - Tri-State Livestock News The First Ever Red Angus Only Calf Sale was held Oct. 25 at the Mobridge (SD) Livestock Auction. Bryan Gill,, who also serves on the commercial marketing committee for the Red Angus Association of America, seized the opportunity to work with Mobridge Livestock and market his preferred breed. Their joint efforts brought together a set of feeder calves and bred heifers that represented the largest single-offering of Red Angus-influenced genetics across the country. Over the years it has been obvious that the calf market in South Dakota and Nebraska is stronger than most anywhere else in the country, while the market at Mobridge Livestock is as strong or stronger than anywhere else as well, especially with Red Angus calves, Gill said. worked closely with Mobridge Livestock to get Red Angus cattle consigned to the sale, which totaled just under 4,000 head on sale day. The whole idea was to gain more attention to the high-quality Red Angus calves in this area. Mobridge Livestock deserves a lot of attention and credit for holding this sale as they have always been willing to go the extra mile to help us and our customers out. They are true promoters of the breed, Gill said. Promoting the breed is second nature to Gill, who uses Facebook and other media outlets to alert commercial cattlemen about both the breed and his own operation, located near Timber Lake, SD. Find them online at com. We work hard all year long promoting the Red Angus breed, as it wasn t that long ago that the red hides seemed to be discounted compared to their black brothers, and they still are in other areas of the country, admitted Gill. In our area, the demand is extremely strong for Red Angus, especially Red Angus replacement heifers. We are in a small pocket where several of the commercial ranches in this area breed Red Angus bulls to Red Angus cows, and because of this, the demand for the heifers in our area has gotten national attention, he continued. By holding this sale, we hoped to gather more feeders together who want to feed Red Angussired calves, and it did just that, as we had several feeders and buyers contact us before the sale who don t normally purchase out of Mobridge Livestock. Several of these feeders either showed up or left orders and purchased some high-quality steers and heifers at a premium. I truly think this sale will do good things for the breed. The promotional effort and the size of the offering at the First Ever Red Angus Only Calf Sale paid off. This was the absolute best set of cattle I have ever seen sell at one place; they were just nice, big red cattle for sure, reported Craig Collett, who manages a 10,000-head feedlot near Flagler, CO. When it comes to selling your cattle at the top, developing a good reputation for having topquality cattle and having everything done to them is very important, Gill said. Developing this reputation is not easy and takes several years to get it done, but when you earn this reputation, it definitely pays off. We actually get phone calls from potential buyers asking about specific ranch s cattle. This is something you earn by having your good cattle at auction in front of buyers year after year. We hope to make this sale an annual event, and I believe it will only get more popular as we go. As the word spreads that this is a great place to purchase top-quality Red Angus calves, the interest and demand will only get stronger. Within 150 miles of Mobridge, you can find nearly 1,500 head of Red Angus breeding bulls for sale annually. There are lots of Red Angus calves available in this area each fall. The buzz is all about Red Angus cattle this week, and Mobridge Livestock was a one-stop-shop for high-quality feeder calves and breeding stock.
