Ludvigson Stock Farms Sale Footnotes Spring 2010
Lot 1 – 9209W
~LSF Entrepreneur 9209W is sired by our in house herd sire, Enterprise and is out of a
full sister to the $46,000 LSF Combination. 9209W ranks in the top 25% for birth
weight, the top 1/3 for yearling weight, the top 11% for milk, the top 9% for heifer
pregnancy, the top 8% for calving ease maternal and the top 3% for marbling. The dam
maintains a 100 MPPA. This big stud posted over a 700 lb weaning weight, 1250 lb
yearling weight and scanned off the charts! Big time herdbull prospect to lead this sale
off.
Lot 2 – 9534W
~What a spread! 9534W might have started behind, with a 98 BW ratio, but as soon as
he was out of the gate, he absolutely floored it. He finished ahead of the pack at weaning
with a 109 ratio. He kept it wide open after weaning, to finish in front with a 113 YW
ratio. But the antagonistic trait spreading didn’t stop there, and 9534W went on to score
ratios of 112 IMF and 103 REA. His EPDs are just as impressive, with top 9% WW, 1%
YW, 16% MK, 7% TM, 2% HPG, and 6% CEM. All that, combined with a top 28%
CED and just above breed average BW and ME, is an incredible feat. The outstanding
Mimi x 32AA dam posts a 103.6 MPPA, 105 WW, and 108 YW ratios on 4 progeny.
Lot 3 – 9608W
~The Sting has the 13th highest IMF score and 6th highest REA in this year’s performance
packed sale. He is the lone bull in the sale to combine this high of both IMF and REA.
These scores give him well earned EPDs that rank in the top 7% MB and 3% REA. That
is definitely spreading the carcass antagonisms. The Sting is one of the most eye
appealing bulls in the event today. The very moderate dam excelled at REA as a yearling
heifer by attaining a 104 REA ratio. She combines the big spread bull Canyon Classic on
a heifer we purchased at Leachman Cattle Company’s last sale, where she scored the
second largest REA of all the Red Angus heifers with a 12.44 REA and a 120 ratio.
Lot 4 – 9606W
~Color of Money has one of the best performance spreads in this year’s event. He goes
from a 98 BW ratio to 110 WW and 106 YW ratios. This comes as no surprise, since his
dam, the $15,000 LSF COVERGIRL LA414 P4046, is one of the top cows in the entire
breed. She ranks in the top 6% of the breed on eight traits, along with having a ME of
only 2. She has a 365 day calving interval, which includes being flushed once and being
bred afterwards. This cow is the absolute epitome of easy keeping. Not enough can be
said of the sire, the $19,000 NSF ICON P532. It was overheard during the 2009 Spring
sale that the Icon bulls were the best Red Angus sire group to sale last year.
Lot 5 – 9605W
~Take a look at the meat machine that we have here. You have to love the length,
muscle, depth of body, and overall appearance of this bull. It’s not often that you find a
bull this thick, with a 4.4 IMF and .15 BFAT score. Butch has some pretty big hooves to
fill, with his two maternal brothers being the $15,000 Ranch Hand, who has progeny in
this sale, and the $6,500 Farm Hand. I don’t like to make excuses for cows, but I believe
Butch could have weaned off heavier, but his mother injured herself and did adversely
affect his weaning weight. The dam is from one of the highest performing cow families
from Neo Sho Farms, and is backed by 3 dams with MPPAs of 109, 109, and 105.
Lot 6 – 9602W
~The name of the game in the cattle industry is consistency and predictability. The dam
of Cool Hand Luke, LA409, conveys this more than any Red Angus cow I’ve seen.
Since purchasing her at the Leachman dispersal, she has had 6 calves, all bulls
unfortunately, with ratios of 97 BW, 107 WW, and 103 YW to give her a 105.9 MPPA.
Every one of her calves has been designated a herd bull in our annual sale. LA409 also
has a 353 day calving interval. Yes, that is 2 calves each year! Her offspring also
perform well on carcass, with 3.89 IMF and 13.73 REA averages. If you could use
consistency and predictability in your herd, you had better not miss Cool Hand Luke.
Lot 7 – 9076W

~What an impressive set of performance figures on this grandson of Grand Slam, the
$32,000 Genex lineup bull. 9562W ranks in the top 5% WW, 2% YW, 7% MK, and 2%
TM. His actual performance figures are exceptional as well, with his 112 WW and 113
YW ratios. What may be most impressive is that he does all of this with his breed
average ME. This guy also has very impressive carcass numbers. His 5.63 IMF score,
with a 138 ratio, is the fifth highest IMF in the sale today. 9562W gets it done on REA as
well, receiving an outstanding 106 ratio. The dam is certainly off to a great start, posting
a super 104.8 MPPA.
Lot 14 – 9046W
