BEEFMASTERS P.O. Box 2947, Laredo, Texas 78044-2947, (361) 586-5067 or (361) 215-3600 Dear Beefmaster Breeders: You are all cordially invited to our CARR and OTHERS FALL PROGRAM AND SALE on Friday and Saturday, October 20 & 21, 2017, at our Wilson County Division eight miles West of Floresville, Texas, on highway 97 in our comfortable cattle sales facility. This is a true production sale for us as we are the breeder of every live animal in our portion of this offering. All of our cattle offered are young and were U classified as yearlings assuring BBU acceptable phenotypic and structural merit. Our program involves numerous objective evaluations of our cattle and this catalog presents that information with very few other embellishments. Our cattle are developed on forage and all their data should be so evaluated. More about our operation appears elsewhere in this catalog. We are this year joined by the same very prestigious group of guest consignors we have had the past several years being Hans and Mary Ann Wittenburg, Billy and Marie Welkener, Bob and Bonnie Siddons, Tony and Karen Psencik and Kito and Leti Saenz all of whom and all of whose cattle are well known and respected in the breed. On Friday afternoon October 20th we will present an educational program beneficial to current and prospective seedstock and commercial breeders awarding CEU s to attending Private Applicators and BQA credits to eligible attendees. A detailed agenda of this program and the other events is on the inside of the front cover of this catalog. Join us and our guest consignors for this unique two-day event featuring education, food, entertainment and an opportunity to buy functional, quality cattle from six different programs. Most importantly, over and above the assurances to buyers under the Sale Terms & Conditions printed in this catalog, every reasonable effort will be made to satisfy buyers with their purchases at this sale. Cordially, Bill & Dusty Carr PAGE 3
BEEFMASTERS A LITTLE ABOUT OUR OPERATION We own and operate ranches in Webb, Wilson and Kendall Counties, Texas, aggregating approximately 14,500 acres. In addition to our purebred Beefmaster cattle we maintain 300 to 400 females used as recipients at our Webb and Kendall County ranches. Those recipients on the Webb County ranch are mainly F1 Brafords and those on the Kendall County ranch are mainly Black Baldies. The F1 Brafords see Angus bulls and the Black Baldies see Beefmaster bulls after receiving embryos or failing to qualify for embryos. The resulting natural service calves from BOTH the Webb and Kendall County recipients are 3/4 Bos Taurus and 1/4 Bos Indicus making a very desirable feeder calf after grown to an appropriate feedlot weight on our winter pastures. We have recently grown our recipient herd and increased the number of donors we are flushing. We did early this year retain Dr. Charles Looney of Ova Genix to do our embryo work and expect to be producing more top quality embryo cattle very soon. Our purebred Beefmaster females are synchronized, and if heat detected, A.I. ed and then broken into various groups and exposed to one bull. Our weaned, Spring born replacements are developed on oats and Bermuda grasses at our Wilson County Division and are there weighed at various stages, classified, sonogrammed and have pelvics measured. We have a vet. do sonogram pregnancy determinations on all of our A.I. ed and natural service exposed females to determine with certainty whether females we sell as bred are pregnant to the A.I. bull or to the clean-up bull. We have frequently retained ownership of and feedlot fed at least a truck load of our purebred Beefmaster steers obtaining feedlot performance and individual carcass data on them. Our cattle, and I think the Beefmaster breed as a whole, are very efficient in the feedlot as they gain rapidly, convert feed efficiently and provide acceptable carcasses. For feeding periods of approximately 180 days our Beefmaster steers have averaged gaining approximately 3-1/2 pounds per day on a 5.64 dry matter pounds of feed per pound gained. With good health, that kind of feedlot performance will usually be more profitable than selling intact culled bull calves at weaning and will provide valuable carcass information. Research has shown, and our experience has confirmed, that Beefmaster females with reasonable genetics and nutrition will have pelvic growth from yearlings to two year olds of 8 to 10 square centimeters per month and will require approximately 3 square centimeters of pelvic area per pound of calf born to avoid calving problems from pelvic size. To get maximum lifetime production out of our cows they need to begin calving around two years of age. To calve as two year olds, adequate pelvic size is critical and is one of the objective evaluations we take and utilize along with tract evaluations before breeding our yearling heifers. See the footnote for Classic Cotton semen in this catalog for more information about our approaches to meaningful data collection. Classic Cotton Miss Dusty Levi X The Cotton Cow Painted Tiger X Lady Jacqueline The combination of these genetics has produced numerous top cattle for us and others including, as just three examples, 972/7, 980/7 and 989/1 on display at some of our recent sales in our display pens on the west side of the sale facility and being the respective dams of the sale lots as indicated below: Donor: Dam Of Lots: 972/7 5, 34, 37 980/7 2, 25, 33, 36 989/1 31, 32, 35 PAGE 4
DONATION LOTS This year, as done the past five years, we are offering two donation lots with all of the proceeds of one going to the Beefmaster Educational Endowment Foundation (B.E.E.F.) for Beefmaster research and with all of the proceeds of the other going to the Beefmaster Cattlewomen to provide scholarships for our J.B.B.A. members. This year s donation lots are each elegantly framed reproductions of paintings by Bruce Greene. All proceeds to Beefmaster Educational Endowment Foundation All proceeds to Beefmaster Cattlewomen for JBBA Scholarships Both Paintings by Bruce Greene The Memories in Grandmother s Trunk Signed & Numbered Giclee on Canvas: 30 X 24 The Wagon Fly Incident Signed & Numbered Giclee Artist Proof on Canvas: 30 X 24 Bruce Greene is a Western painter who has ridden trails and experienced the cowboy life he portrays in the very narrative images he creates. The artist is a native Texan who has reached the pinnacle of his profession through hard work and an extraordinary talent for painting the story of one of our country s most revered icons, the American cowboy. Some years ago Bruce began making annual trips to join in the spring work on the legendary JA Ranch in the Palo Duro Canyon of North Texas. As Bruce describes his trips, I go up there and stay on the chuckwagon with the JA hands and the neighbors that have come to help. We ride a lot of miles in rough country. If can be cold, hot, windy and wet. A fella could get lost in some of the mesquite or cedar thickets. The JA trips have been a real inspiration for me each year. I am absolutely sure that these experiences have greatly affected my art work. It seems necessary, to me, in order to depict the contemporary cowboy with accuracy and feeling. Bruce Greene was elected to membership in the prestigious Cowboy Artists of America in 1993 and served as its President in 2003. Greene s works are represented by several well-known galleries in the Southwest. He has presented his art in annual shows and exhibitions such as Cowboy Artists of America Exhibition, the Prix de West Show at the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum and the Autry Museum of Western Heritage Sale and other prestigious venues.

SPRING 2018 CALVING HEIFERS To get a maximum lifetime production out of our cows they need to begin calving around two years of age. To calve as two year olds, adequate pelvic size is critical and is one of the objective evaluations we take and utilize before breeding our yearling heifers. All of the heifers in this section were bred as yearlings and are scheduled to calve close to two years of age. They will start calving mid February to early March.

CLASSIC COTTON SEMEN It is our belief that confidence in selling and buying cattle grows with the extent of existing evaluations of the genetics involved. It is with this philosophy and the meritorious nature of the numerous evaluations of Classic Cotton, out of the time tested parentage of Levi and the Cotton Cow, that we have built a significant part of our program and the offering in this production sale around him. By one year of age, his evaluations included: Birth weight: 70 lbs. 205 day adj. wt.: 673 lbs. 342 day sonogram of ribeye: 17.1 sq. in. 1.46 sq. in./cwt..24 in. fat cover 365 day actual wt.: 1,285 lbs. His first purebred progeny as yearlings had the following ribeye sonogram average evaluations: 8 Bulls: 15.18 sq. in. 1.35 sq. in./cwt..16 in. fat cover 10 Heifers: 1.29 sq. in./cwt..12 in. fat cover SIRE OF 23 PACESETTER DAUGHTERS AS OF 9/22/17 SIRE OF 9 LOTS IN THIS SALE BEING: 1, 6, 13, 18, 19, 23, 24, 29 & 31 I was so impressed with Classic Cotton as a young bull that I was determined to comprehensively evaluate him. While s are widely accepted by the beef industry in evaluating cattle I don t believe there are any more meaningful evaluations than through progeny testing. Accordingly I went out and bought 50 very average F1 Braford cows, 25 very average Hereford cows, 25 very average Angus cows and 25 very average Limousin cows to use in progeny testing Classic Cotton. These breeds were selected because, other than the F1 Brafords, they had the largest registries in the industry at the time. All 125 of these cows were synchronized and bred A.I. to Classic Cotton and his purebred sons put on them after A.I. Progeny out of these matings were evaluated for several years in the Texas Ranch to Rail Program. Other tests of Classic Cotton purebred and crossbred progeny in tests conducted by Texas Tech and Texas A&M confirmed they grow rapidly and efficiently and have very acceptable carcasses. A randon sampling of 50 Classic Cotton steers out of F1 Brafords and commercial Hereford, Angus and Limousin dams fed and evaluated in the 1995-1996 and the 1996-1997 Texas Ranch to Rail Program had average Warner Bratzler shear force evaluation scores of 5.7 lbs. and 5.2 lbs. respectively. Readings of 10 and under are considered acceptably tender for most retail over the counter trade and of 8 and under acceptably tender for consumption in better restaurants. In a Texas A&M progeny evaluation project involving its test herd of Angus cows, semen from 15 prominent BBU sires was used. While doing well in all categories, the Classic Cotton progeny were number one in each yearling weight, ribeye area and tenderness substantiating their growth rate, muscularity and eating quality. A pen of 36 of our purebred Beefmaster steers including 26 Classic Cotton steers fed in the Nolan Ryan T.A.B. Program were harvested in August of 2001 and every one had a qualifying tenderness score and this entire group had one of the highest, if not the highest, percentage of overall qualifiers of any group within the approximately 70,000 head, at that time, fed in the Nolan Ryan T.A.B. Program. Enough of his female progeny have been in breeding programs long enough to prove their reproductive merit. They constantly rise to the top in our program including 22 Pacesetter daughters as of 9/22/16 and many more granddaughters. Classic Cotton is one of the breed s earliest and few Typesetter/Pacesetter bulls. Raising cattle involves numerous risks you cannot control. Use of proven superior genetics is a means of reducing these risks. Classic Cotton is one of the most comprehensively evaluated bulls in the breed. His meritorious contributions to the breed have been established and are growing. Let him take much of the risk out of your breeding program. CLASSIC COTTON SEMEN AVAILABLE DURING THIS SALE AT $60.00 PER STRAW INCLUSIVE OF A.I. CERTIFICATES WITH A 10 STRAW MINIMUM PURCHASE. YOU MAY MAKE YOUR PURCHASES IN THE OFFICE BY SIGNING A CLIP- BOARD OR BY TELLING ANY OF THE THREE SALE MANAGERS. PAGE 25
PSENCIK BEEFMASTERS Psencik Beefmasters was established in 1987 by Tony and Karen Psencik. We bought our first Beefmaster heifers from Tommy Burgess. We started raising cattle as a hobby and a relaxing weekend project. Our love of the hobby made it grow quickly into a fulltime business and we love every minute of it. As the business continues to grow, we have seen more return customers purchasing a greater number of our Beefmaster cattle. In 2003 we entered two bred heifers in the San Antonio Rose Classic Sale and each won Grand Champion and Reserve Champion Bred Heifers. It was the most exciting moment as so much love and hard work had gone into it, and since then we have won several places at different events across the state. We have been married for 37 years and have two sons.
