Throughout the weekend, MC Jethro 924U6, generated impressive response, optimism for the future of the breed, and a large crowd of admirers. The 15-month-old herd sire prospect was sired by MC Jethro 00S3 and is the best son from Jethros first calf crop. In addition to his superior paternal genetics, he carries the maternal lineage of the 924 cow family known for incredible fertility, consistency of production, and unparalleled factors of economic efficiency. 924U6 appears ready as heir apparent to MC Jethro 00S3, who died prematurely last summer. One-half interest and full possession sold for $38,000. The bull was a joint offering of Mound Creek and Red Bird Meadows and purchased by Georgia Brangus breeder, Blackwater Cattle Co., Lake Park, Georgia.
Marianna, Florida Brangus and Angus breeder, Southern Cattle Co., accelerated their program to a new level with the purchase of MC Ms Lead Gun 129T12 from Mound Creek Ranch. They paid $47,000 for 100% possession and two-thirds embryo interest in the elite donor prospect female. 129T12s grand dam ranks in the breeds top 1% for weaning weight, yearling weight, milk and total maternal value; top 15% for ribeye area and top 10% for intramuscular fat, plus she ranks #3 all time for total maternal value. All expectations are that 129T12 will carry on the dominant heritage, maternal value, carcass expectations, and performance established by this most prolific and famed Mound Creek cow family.
RBM Ms Tank 111T9 drew the attention and final bid of $20,500 from Cavender Ranches, Bullard, Texas and The Oaks Farms, Newnan, Georgia. 111T9 posts one of the highest marbling values in the breed as she scanned a 7.1% value for IMF with a phenomenal 160% IMF ratio blended with a 101% ratio for ribeye area. She is sired by the Mound Creek herd sire known as Tank, and sold with a MC Right Direction 624R sired heifer calf at side. This extraordinary donor prospect was offered by Red Bird Meadows Ranch, Montgomery, Texas.
Schoenig Ranches, Honey Grove, Texas added two Tank daughters to their new Brangus program. The impressive MC Ms Tank 000T26 commanded a final price of $16,000 for full possession and two-thirds embryo interest. This first calf heifer pair featured a MC News Man 2K4 heifer calf at side and stems from the Mound Creek New Genetic Breeding Program. She holds tremendous donor promise and already proven with an impressive set of IVF calves on sale day display. The second Schoenig selection was MC Ms Tank 111T3 whose pedigree denotes six individuals who have earned Summit status, including her dam. In addition, she has ratios of 117% for weaning, 118% for yearling, 127% for ribeye area and 123% for intramuscular fat. 111T3 sold safe to MC News Man 2K4 and her $14,000 price tag included full possession and two-thirds embryo interest.
Of considerable interest was the semen package from Mc Jethro 00S3. 100 straws of Jethro semen averaged $200 per straw to gross $20,000 for the right to use this elite herd changing sire. Southern Cattle Co. purchased the first 50 straws to sell followed by the second 50 straws going to the team of Circle RP Brangus, Azle, Texas and Lazy L Brangus, Eliasville, Texas. This semen is very exclusive and very limited due to his untimely death last summer. Jethros legacy includes calves that are thick ended, heavy structured, big ribbed, cool fronted, athletic and very eye appealing. Jethro continues the impressive legacy of his great sire Tank and collectively these two herd bulls are changing the face of the Brangus breed.
Volume buyers include Roppolo Brangus, El Campo, Texas; Hendrix Bar H Brangus, Livingston, Texas; Vanna Farms, Royston, Georgia; and Guidry Brangus, Kaplan, Louisiana.
