Everybody knows my weakness for baldies.

All you have to tell me is that you have a really good baldy and you have my full attention! More to come.

I found this picture on Brandon Jones website(www.jonescattle.com). I have heard a lot of comments about this steer being flat awesome and this picture sure shows that. I'm glad to see we are picking the steers with more power. Immortal will bring you the power.

Immortal sires the Reserve Supreme Heifer at the Missouri State Fair!

Great Job Devon Stout with his Immortal heifer that was named Reserve Supreme heifer at the Missouri State Fair. She was sold by McDaniels and Bennett Show Cattle. Thanks Blake and nice work again.

Governor's steer show candids.

Larry Zimpleman the CEO of Principal Financial Group showed Turbo at the Iowa State Fair Governor steer show. It was a great fit for him to show the Iowa County Fair Grand Champion Steer shown by Justin Donahoe because Larry grew up in Iowa county. Great guy.

Huge crowds to watch this event. I love the street walk up to the overflowing crowd in the show ring.

Predator steer

Congrats Derek Humphrey Champion Maintainer Illinois State fair!

Good luck to Elizabeth she also had the Champion Chi heifer and sounds like she will be tough to beat.

Nice Job Max! Check out his Bottle calf stalls.

Congrats to Max McClure on his Champion bottle calf win! He knows his stuff.
These stalls are done to the extreme, custom dividers that hold a shelf, hay feeders, and separate feed and water tubs. Top notch. This calf won the calf lottery getting to leave Holtkamp Cattle and go to the McClure house. Next year he moves to big ones and I'm sure with his care you'll here his name again.

Every job is important no matter how big or small you are.

My little man Brody knows every job is important. Also, I let him oil this calf and I guarantee you that he didn't squeak when he was finished. The only way you learn to do something is by doing.

Grimmel finishes on top.

Great job by Melissa with her Immortal steer out of the Run for the Backdrop sale last fall. What a great family and a outstanding job of winning early and late!
The top picture is her winning the Hardford County Farm Fair, Maryland. The bottom picture is Melissa at the VCCP.

Congrats to Cole Wilcox with his Grand Champion Steer at the Indiana State Fair. He is sired by IMMORTAL.

Great job Brandon Jones(Nobody gets them looking better than him) and Todd Caldwell. Also, the Wilcox family.
