We have consigned five lots to this years sale to celebrate the 10th
Anniversary of the Butler Sale, as well as to celebrate our 10th Anniversary in
raising longhorns.
High Sellers from past years will be on display at this year's sale. We
own two of them - Delta Rockette who was high
seller at the first Butler Sale in 1998, and
Little Ace Tupelo Honey who was high seller in 2001 - and both will be at
the sale. All five of our consignments are related to one of these two
high sellers.
Call or email us if you have
any questions or want additional information about our consignments below.
See our Ranch Feature Article in the the TLBAA
Trails Magazine (August) for more insight into these lots and to learn more
about our breeding program.

LOT 10: DALGOOD'S VELVET LADY (DOB: August
29, 2001)
The best out
of our best! She is from the core of our breeding program based on
crossing FM Graves 102 offspring with our
senior sire Primero Class. Velvet Lady is
out of Primero Class and Delta Rockette who
is a granddaughter of FM Graves 102. This is the first time we have
parted with this breeding, but we have four other daughters of Delta
Rockette and numerous granddaughters. For this 10th anniversary sale,
we want to showcase offspring of Delta Rockette since she was high seller at
the first Butler sale in 1998. We also want to demonstrate what
Primero Class can do. He is the best son of Lota Class, a legendary
cow with 76” horn. Velvet Lady is bred to BL
Buckaroo Chex (co-owned with Bob Loomis and backup to Farlap Chex).
She tested negative recently for both Johnes and Neospora. |

LOT 49: DALGOOD'S BIT-O-HONEY
(DOB: April 10, 2003)
This young
cow is our oldest Primero Class daughter out of
Little Ace Tupelo Honey. This is our
first offering of any Tupelo Honey offspring -- we have four other Tupelo
Honey daughters, including two full sisters to Bit-O-Honey. We wanted
to do something special since Tupelo Honey was the high seller at the 2001
Butler sale. Tupelo Honey is the last daughter of
FM Graves 102. One of the best cows
ever, FM Graves 102 has been the focus of our breeding program over the past
7 years. Bit-O-Honey’s gorgeous heifer calf at side born 6/3/07 is out
of BL Buckaroo Chex, and she is bred back the
same way. Bit-O-Honey tested negative recently for both Johnes and
Neospora. |

LOT 44: DALGOOD'S ROCKET MAN
(DOB: June 27, 2000)
Black
speckled bull out of Delta Rockette and a
full brother to the well known Little Ace Swamp Guinea who is also in the
sale. We wanted to make this special offering as part of our showcase
of Delta Rockette offspring. We would not sell Rocket Man, except that
we have his younger full brother
Dalgood’s Rocky who we co-own with Kaso Kety. Rocket Man is a Bold
Ruler look-a-like and has done a great job for us as demonstrated by his
spectacular daughter in the sale (see
below). We guarantee fertility. |

LOT H-10 (Heifer Sale): DALGOOD'S PRIMADONNA
(DOB: May 29, 2005)
This gorgeous
chocolate-sided heifer is a Delta Rockette
granddaughter. She complements the other Delta Rockette offspring in
this sale and demonstrates the consistency of her sire
Primero Class. Primadonna is out of Little Ace Primrose, a full
sister to Little Ace Swamp Guinea. We purchased Primrose from Kaso
Kety at the 2003 Butler sale. Primero Class is out of Lota Class,
longest horned cow in the 1990’s and first cow with 6 feet of horn.
Primadonna exhibits the early extensive lateral horn growth that Primero
Class consistently produces in our herd. She is bred to
BL Buckaroo Chex. Primadonna tested
negative recently for both Johnes and Neospora. |

LOT 65: DALGOOD'S WAXY LADY
(DOB: April 13, 2004)
Big horned
dark red granddaughter of Delta Rockette and
a daughter of Rocket Man who is also in the
sale. She has unusual coloring -- black highlights from her sire and
waxy colored horns from her dam. We sold her dam, nicknamed
“Wax Horn”, in the 2005 Butler sale to Janis and
Vernon Webb. Waxy Lady is a three year old who leads her peer group in
horn length. She is bred to Dalgood’s Tommy
Gun, our young sire out of Primero Class and
Little Ace Tupelo Honey (high seller
in 2001), so the calf will have FM Graves 102
on both the top and bottom of her pedigree. Waxy Lady tested negative
recently for both Johnes and Neospora. |
