BEEFMASTERS P.O. Box 2947, Laredo, Texas 780442947, (361) 5865067 or (361) 2153600 Dear Beefmaster Breeders: You are all cordially invited to our CARR and OTHERS FALL SALE on Saturday, October 24, 2015, at our Wilson County Division eight miles West of Floresville, Texas, on highway 97 in our comfortable cattle sales facility. Being in the early stages of the rebuilding phase of the cattle cycle and most of cattle country with resonable moisture, cattle prices should remain strong for the foreseeable future making breeding cattle still a good investment. 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 Who s Who 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 23rd we will present an educational program beneficial to both seedstock and commercial breeders awarding 2 CEU s to attending Private Applicators and 2 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 twoday 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 ORATION We own and operate ranches in Webb, Wilson and Kendall Counties, Texas, aggregating well over 14,000 acres. In addition to our purebred Beefmaster cattle we maintain 300 to 400 F1 Braford females used as recipients and put Angus bulls on them, after putting a Beefmaster embryo in them or failing to qualify them, to produce a very marketable feeder calf after grown to a desirable feedlot weight on our pastures. 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 cleanup 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 200 days our Beefmaster steers have averaged gaining approximately 31/2 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 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 Levi X The Cotton Cow Miss Dusty Painted Tiger X Lady Jacqueline The combination of these genetics has produced numerous top cattle for us and others including, as just two examples, 980/7 on display at this sale 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, 17, 18, 23 & 33 980/7 8, 21, & 35 PAGE 4
DONATION LOTS This year, as done the past three years, we are offering two donation lots with all of the proceeds of one going to the Beefmaster Education Endowment Fund (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, one by Michael Dudash and one by Jim Rey. Michael Dudash is recognized nationally for his paintings of dramatic realism. Although a very successful illustrator for many years in 2002, Dudash began to focus on creating and selling his oil paintings, along with doing commissioned portraiture. Since that time, the artist has had several oneman shows and participated in several group shows. Dudash has produced over 1,300 illustrations for books, magazines, art publishers, advertising agencies, design firms, film companies and corporations. Throughout these years of his career, he won numerous awards. GIVING THANKS FOR FAIR WEATHER, SWEET GRASS AND A HOT SUPR By Michael Dudash (All proceeds to Beefmaster Cattlewomen for J.B.B.A. scholarships) As an accomplished artist, he has written and published articles for several art industry publications, conducted oil painting and illustration workshops, and has been a guest lecturer at several colleges, universities and industry organizations. Having grown up in a ranching family, western artist Jim Rey naturally loves working with horses and cattle. His eyes light up when he talks about training his Bordie Collie or a particularly wary horse, the days he has spent gathering cows in the high country or following a herd of wild horses. The paintings of Jim Rey tell the story of cowboys as living remnants of a bygone era. The stories he paints are both his own and those of the people and places he knows and loves. The work of Jim Rey is collected nationally. His art has been exhibited in the Fredric Remington Museum in New York, as well as in many noted shows and exhibitions.

FIRST CALF THREEINONES First calf threeinone is a very prestigious category in our operation in that if of adequate weight and pelvic size we synchronize our heifers as yearlings (1215 mos.) and if heat is detected they are A.I. ed and approximately sixteen days after our A.I. program exposed to one bull. If in our program we do not detect heat they are exposed to one bull immediately. Our breeding season is 6075 days. Those heifers that conceive in this program calve at approximately two years of age and have a similar breeding exposure 50 to 60 days after having their first calf. Those that conceive to have their second calf as a three year old are our first calf threeinones. 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 are only parting with four of these first calf threeinones in this offering. LOT 9 First Calf ThreeInOne BRAND: 311/3 (A.I.)

SPRING 2016 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 late February to early March. We have a vet. do sonogram pregnancy determinations on our A.I. d 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. Winter pasture gains on these heifers were less than our normal gains because of excessive rains during such period causing some leaching. 353/4 Logan X 972/7 (Classic Cotton X Miss Dusty) Safe to the Lot 1 sale bull. 378/4 Classic Cotton X Cavalier daughter Safe to Sugar Bear.

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. SIRE OF 19 PACESETTER COWS AS OF 9/25/15 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 I was so impressed with Classic Cotton as a young bull that I was determined to comprehensively evaluate him. While EPD 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 19951996 and the 19961997 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. 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.

Fat:.20 in.; IMF: 2.25 LENGTH: EXTRAORDINARILY LONG A lot of our program in recent years has been built around the great Typesetter/Pacesetter herd sires, Cornerstone and Classic Cotton, because of the respective performance achievements and objective evaluations of them and their progeny. Blending these genetics and that of our legendary deceased donor, Z240, (Robert E. Lee x Harrell 105), Benchmark exemplifies the meritorious contributions these genetics are making to the breed. Benchmark had the highest EPDs for each weaning weight, yearling weight and scrotal of all 52 bulls listed in the Young Sire section of the BBU Fall 2002 Sire Summary. Benchmark is well on his way to replace our legendary deceased Cornerstone bull. Z240 Out of Robert E. Lee and the Harrel 105 cow. We successfully flushed this Zipperer cow until her death at the age of 17. PAGE 27
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 36 years and have two sons. Rod 096 LOT 46 ThreeInOne BRAND: 096 BREEDER: Rod BBU NO.: C1008334 BIRTH: 121810 Here we go again.
