The best line you can hear to know spring is around the corner is “pitchers and catchers reporting.” It has been a tough winter for
some and we look forward to spring, new calves, and grass. The Factory Direct Group looks to put some nice cattle and calves on that
fresh grass.
We are offering you some of our best YOUNG genetics and you will see the results merely in a few weeks. These cattle have 10 plus
years to be productive for you and we hope you realize that and do some mental depreciation schedules and bid with confidence.
We would like to thank the men of Alpha Gamma Rho for continuing the history and tradition of putting on one of the best jackpot
shows in the Midwest. We felt it was a great opportunity for us to showcase another set of cattle as you all are right in our backyard
for the weekend.
Contact any one of the representatives from Gamble Angus, Horstman Cattle Co. and Sennett Cattle and we will do everything we
can to answer your questions. We look forward to working with old and new customers.

Shawnee 050X (Grandmaster x Cowboy Up) x LAH Bando’s Pride 411
DUE DATE April 6, 2014 to Pilgrim
This quarter blood Simmental female is right out of the keeper pen. Frankly we don’t sell 411 daughters, but to highlight this first sale she
came to town. Ask WLE and DeFreese about the production record of 411’s full sister. And the 050X bull is not just some
turnout clean up bull. We have kept his daughters and sold some high as well. This is a great opportunity and she is
bred to Pilgrim who is topping sales in the Simmental world. Due 4/6/2014. We want to keep track of this one.

BFD Burning On Z116
ASA#2640238 :: DOB March 19, 2012
STF Fixation W155 x Lazy H Burning Shadow
DUE DATE March 16, 2014 to Upgrade
This purebred has two breed greats in her pedigree as you peel it backwards. Caliente and Burn Baby Burn R34.
Silvertown has written a book with the Caliente daughters and R34 is known for producing sale-topping females and is also
the dam of Combustible. This is probably a mistake but we are letting somebody else enjoy the production of this
predictable female. With balanced numbers of her own and being bred to Upgrade she will have a very acceptable calf on
paper in year one as well. Due 3/16/14 to Upgrade.

LAH Heir Apparent 327A
AAA#17581053 :: DOB February 10, 2013
BC Lookout x LAH Empress 415 (Red Hot)
BW 90 lbs.
The name says it all. 415’s worst calves are good ones. Her best are great ones. She has never missed.
This bull is a full sib to the $18,000 2011 Factory Direct Sale topper and the $27,000 2013 FDS sale topper.
He is a powerhouse and should prove to be a great bull that will work for angus programs and club calf producers alike.

ASA#2790230 (1/2 blood) :: DOB January 1, 2013
LAH Sue 604S x LAH Empress 415 (Hot Rod)
BW 83 lbs.
Another hit from 415. This bull is a full brother the 4th overall percentage female at Simmy Jr Nationals
and now famous donor for Minnert Cattle Company and Caleb Seys. This one is freakishly long and extended
through that front end and powerful as well. He can work to make great crossbred females and can work in a
Simmental program and keep those numbers up as well.
LAH Force 326A
ASA#2758646 (1/2 blood) :: DOB February 8, 2013
Steel Force x Star Barbie 3243
BW 86 lbs.
The result of an embryo package that was purchased from Partisover Ranch. That same year Nichols Cattle Company
bought half interest in Barbie and they have been pleased ever since. This is a cool animal and is no accident
as there were 3 bulls born out of this package and they were all good ones. These genetics don’t always come available.
