Mittag Show Cattle 2016
Showman’s Choice Consignments
(We will be doing pictures and videos over the next few weeks, and will be posting them)
Lot 1…………Monopoly x
Alias Donor………….It seems like it has become tradition that the Lot 1 calf
in The Showman’s Choice Sale is a Monopoly x Alias. That is mostly due to the fact that they are
really good and the 7 calves that have been shown out of our Alias Donor have
been all named Champions! Don’t hesitate
to start bidding on this awesome market heifer prospect. Families that have
shown confidence in this mating are Vickland, Caldwell, Rodgers, Roberts,
Gortezka, Shorter, Habeger, Netzke, Stream, Toews and Anglin.
Lot 3…………MAB x Dr
Who……………..We are really excited about the future of this steer. He has been
one of our favorites since birth. He is
super stout boned, massive and attractive.
His mother is a cow that we purchased from Holtkamp and we plan to flush
her to MAB, when you see this steer you will know why.
Lot 5………….Liquid
Courage x Monopoly………….DON’T BUY THIS STEER, unless you are serious about
filling your trophy case. This is one of
those steers we strive to raise, he is just flat out super cool and ultra
sound. Plan on seeing his picture a lot
during the coming show season! (Liquid
Courage is an Irish Whiskey X Dr Who
bull owned by Reimann, Rodgers and Fair) The mother of this steer was a
show heifer of VanVliets.
Lot 7…………..Monopoly x
A Step Up…………This steer is one of those steers that is just hard to find
anything wrong with, he is ultra sound, soft and big bodied and really
attractive. This one will be fun to show!
Lot 9………….MAB x
Oakdale Duke……………..She has already been shown successfully, tallying up
wins as Reserve Champion Chianina Prospect Heifer at the Iowa State fair and
Reserve Champion Heifer at the Afton Open Prospect Show. Maternal, Big Bodied and Sound best describe
this heifer. This one will hang some
banners for you! Her mother is the great Smokie cow we purchased from Jason
Minneart.
Lot 11…………….MAB x Who
Made Who………. This younger steer is
the one we pictured on our ad. To use
the words of Tyler Stutsman who judged the Prospect Show at the Iowa State
Fair, “ Here is a steer with a very bright future” He was the Reserve Champion
Crossbred Steer and 4th Overall coming out of the lightweight
class. Many maternal brothers to this
steer have won a lot of shows.
Lot 13………….Italian
Stallion x Dr Who……………We really enjoy showing these sale calves to make
sure that they can win before we sell them to you. This steer was Grand Champion Steer at the
Afton Open Prospect Show under judge Ky Stierwalt. Ky commented, “This steer is just so sound,
smooth and complete.” Couldn’t have said it better myself.
Lot 15………………….Monopoly
x Alias………………….Here is a super stout Smokie
Monopoly out of a full sister to our Alias Donor. He got the tip of his tail stepped on in the
pasture and the hair is trying to grow back. This happened to one of our steers
a few years ago and his tail hair grew back and he was the Tyson Tucker’s Grand
Champion Steer at the Union County Fair.
I really like this steer.
Lot 17…………I-80 X A
Step Up……………….We are really loving this female, she is incredibly smooth
and feminine and has that Junior National Maintainer look! A full brother to this heifer was Reserve
Champion Maine Prospect Steer at the Iowa State Fair and Reserve Champion Steer
at the Appanoose County Fair for Zoe Joiner.
Lot 19……………..MAB x
Maximus Donor…………This ET heifer will catch your attention first because she
is super model attractive, she is also as hairy as you can get one. This young heifer has a bright future with
many maternal sibs who have won championships in her pedigree including 2
different champion steers for the Means family.
Lot 21……………..Monopoly
x Alias Donor……………WOW!!!!! Here is a
heifer out of our Alias donor that will win shows and produce winning steers in
the future. This one could go either
way, Breeding or Market. . Don’t miss the chance to add these genetics
to your showstring and cowherd.
Lot 23……………..Monopoly
x Alias Donor……………….Here is another full sister to many champions out of
our Alias Donor, This one has been a favorite since birth. She will make an awesome Chi or Commercial
heifer for an experienced showman.
Lot 25……………...Control
Freak x Simm/Ang……………We leased Control freak last year and got a very
exciting group of calves. Obviously they
are a lot younger than everything else in the sale but we think even being
younger and smaller they can hold their own.
Great steer for a later show.
Lot 27………………Control
Freak x Monopoly……………….Here is another young Control Freak. This one caused quite a stir when he was born
and we put his picture on the blog at only a few hours old. Real good then…..Real good now…..A REALLY
GOOD FAT STEER! This steer’s mother is a
full sib to all of our Monopoly Alias Donor Champions.
Lot 29………………Liquid
Courage x Monopoly……………..Here is another steer bred very similar to the lot
5 steer, this mating really works. Big
footed, sound and stout. A maternal brother to this steer was a many time
champion steer in Kansas a few years ago.
