Our History:
Kit and Deanna Pharo wer e r aised
on family farms and ranches in Eastern
Colorado, not far from their existing ranch
location. After fifteen years of pursuing other
endeavors, they finally had an opportunity to
lease a fairly sizable chunk of grassland and
get started with a ranch of their own.
increase profits by increasing production. Not
so. They discovered that the easiest money to
make is the money they do not spend. Instead
of increasing production, they looked for ways
to reduce cost of production without reducing
production. Their ranch began as a commercial
operation with profit-driven philosophies.
The years away from the ranch made it
possible for them to view ranching from a little
different perspective. Although they very
much enjoy the lifestyle, they treat the ranch
as a business that is expected to make a profit
every year. At first they thought they could
The biggest problem they encounter ed
was finding a seedstock producer who could
provide the genetics they needed to produce
profitable cattle. They did not exist. Seeing
this as an opportunity, Kit and Deanna decided
to become that type of seedstock producer.

Our Program:
Breed Selection. Not ever y br eed has
the type of cattle that can effectively meet the
requirements established by our philosophies.
We have investigated many different breeds in
an attempt to find cattle with the right biological
type to fit our environment and production
goals. This is an ongoing process. Our seedstock program currently includes: Angus, Red
Angus, Hereford, Tarentaise and Composites
of these breeds. These are all moderate-sized
breeds with extremely strong maternal traits.
Tarentaise is a Continental br eed that
originated in the French Alps. They are noted
for their fertility, milk production. meat-to-bone
ratio, and udder conformation. Compared to
the British breeds, Tarentaise have a higher
growth rate, higher milk production, and produce
a leaner carcass. Compared to most of the other
Continental breeds, they excel in calving-ease
and fertility, while having a smaller mature
size. Tarentaise is the most moderate-sized
exotic breed that we know of. We no longer
produce many purebred Tarentaise. However,
they continue to provide the foundation for
most of our composite cattle.
Red and Black Angus h a ve a lwa ys
been very popular British breeds. They are
noted for their calving ease, maternal traits and
their ability to marble. With so much to offer,
we believe they should have an integral part in
most crossbreeding systems. Our biggest
challenge, though, has been finding cattle within
these two breeds that still do what they were
designed to do. Rick Bourdon got it right
when he said, “Many seedstock producers take
cattle that are close to optimal for a particular
niche, breed them in a different direction, and
end up with cattle that are not really optimal
for anything.” Red a nd Bla ck Angus lose
their advantages when bred to compete with
the larger exotic breeds. If you want an animal
that grows and milks like a Holstein, buy a
Holstein.
Our Composite cattle were designed to
provide the right genetic combination to fit our
environment, as well as our production goals.
They are 25 to 50 percent Continental breeding
(Tarentaise, Simmental and/or Gelbvieh), 25 to
75 percent Red or Black Angus, and 0 to 25
percent Hereford. They can be red or black in
color. Our Composite cows have the ability
to wean our heaviest calves while holding their
condition and rebreeding.
Why Composites? Cr ossbr ed cattle
have always been much more efficient than
straightbred cattle, but most crossbreeding
systems are complicated and frustrating. They
require too many breeding pastures, too many
different breeds of bulls and too much time and
management. Traditional crossbreeding also
produces a lack of uniformity in calf size, cow
size, muscling and milk production since
several different breeds of bulls are used.
Composite bulls provide you with all the
advantages of breed complementarity and hybrid
vigor without all the problems associated with
the typical crossbreeding system. Instead of
using several different breeds of bulls you can
use composite bulls to achieve the same results.
You would not have to individually identify and
sort cows into different breeding pastures to be
bred by different breeds of bulls. In fact, you
could run all of your cows in one herd with one
set of composite bulls. This makes a rotational
grazing system possible.
Hereford is another Br itish br eed. I
grew up with a herd of commercial Hereford
cows. They never weaned the biggest calves
but they had the unique ability to wean one
every year. It didn’t seem to matter how bad
the year was. I attribute this to their superb
adaptability. They were true range cows that
could survive on whatever Mother Nature
provided for them.
In addition to their adaptability, we like
Herefords for their unequaled disposition, their
hair coat and their conformation. They remain
the obvious choice for crossing with Angus and
Red Angus. Most people will agree that the
black baldy or red baldy cow is extremely hard
to improve upon and those baldy calves have
never gone out of style.

Selling Bulls for 24 Years . . .
. . . and Counting
Sale Information
Only the best sell. These 315 ranch-raised bulls uniquely represent both our philosophies and our
breeding program. They have been carefully bred and selected to meet the demands of the commercial
cowman. Several herd mates that did not live up to our expectations have already been culled. We keep
extensive records on our cattle and we follow a very strict selection and culling program that is based on
facts and figures, as well as on frequent observations and evaluations.
Cataloged. The bulls have been cataloged on the following pages according to the sale they will
be sold in and their breed groups. Each bull is identified with a lot number that corresponds to the number
on his red or yellow PCC ear tag. The sale order at both sales is expected to follow the lot numbers from
low to high. Red ear tags will be used to identify lot numbers for the Missouri sale, while yellow ear tags
will be used to identify lot numbers for the Colorado sale. For the most part, bulls will be cataloged by sire
groups (1/2 and 3/4 brothers). We will start each group with the highest rated bull within that group.
We have provided extensive information on each bull to help you make the right selections. This
information is explained on page 10. We urge you to look for bulls that are strong in the traits your cowherd
is weak in, but always remember to keep “balance” in mind because single trait selection can quickly wreck
a cowherd. Registration certificates on all registered bulls will be transferred to the buyer.
Health and Fertility. We maintain a very thorough health and vaccination program. These
bulls have all passed a health and breeding soundness examination and have been cleared for interstate transportation. All bulls tested negative for PI-BVD. They are guaranteed breeders!
Semen Interests. On designated bulls we retain the right to collect, use and market semen at
some future date. As purchaser of the bull you will receive a 25 percent revenue-sharing semen interest,
along with full possession of the bull. If done at all, semen will be collected at your convenience and
at PCC’s expense. This in no way affects your use of the bull! Anyone with a semen interest will be
allowed to collect and store semen for in-herd use with no obligation to others with a semen interest. In
the event semen is marketed and revenue is produced the resulting proceeds, minus incurred expenses,
shall be divided among those who own a semen interest. Designated bulls will be marked “RETAINED
SEMEN INTEREST” in the catalog.
Cowboy Auction. Although our unique cowboy auction has an auction format, it has no fasttalking auctioneer and no loud, in-your-face bid takers. Everyone who has attended one of our Cowboy
Auctions has appreciated and enjoyed it. Every bull will have a base price posted in this catalog. When it
is time to sell a particular bull, we will ask those who are interested, at the base price, to raise their buyer
number. If there is only one number in the air, the bull will be sold to that number at the base price. If
there is more than one number in the air, we will increase the price in $250 increments until only one number
remains. This provides a very simple, low-pressure way to purchase bulls. You will always know what the
bid is and you will always know who is bidding against you.
The only problem with our Cowboy Auction is there can be a tie bid when the last two (or more)
buyer numbers drop out at the same time. When that happens we will give the bid to the bidder with the
lowest buyer number. The other bidder(s) will then be required to increase the bid by $50 or $100 (up to the
next $100 increment) to stay in the auction. If he increases the bid, then the bidder with the lowest buyer
number can raise the bid another $100, and so on. We can usually break a tie in 5 or 10 seconds.
4
Guaranteed Calving Ease. Most of the bulls offered in this sale could be successfully used on
first-calf heifers. We rate each bull for calving ease with 1 to 5 “stars”. Our 5-star bulls would be the
absolute best, but those with “3” and “4” stars are also recommended for use on most heifers. For the most
part, our 2-star bulls are breed average for calving ease. This is what everyone else is selling.
We are so confident in the calving ease of our 5-star calving ease bulls that we are going to do
something that is unheard of in this business. We are going to provide a one-year calving ease guarantee
on all of our 5-star bulls. For every calf you have to pull that was sired by one of our 5-star calving ease
bulls we’ll pay you $25 — no questions asked. If a caesarean or other veterinary assistance was required,
we’ll pay your vet bill. We want you to be able to look forward to your next calving season.
Genetic Defect Guarantee. Unlike many of our competitors, we will not sell a bull that is
a potential carrier of any known genetic defect without DNA testing him to prove (guarantee) that he
does not have a genetic defect gene. We guarantee that all of the bulls selling in this sale do not carry a
gene for any known genetic defect.
High-Altitude Guarantee. We will guarantee that our bulls will score 45 or less on a PAP
test. If your PCC bull scores higher than 45, you can return him and replace him with another bull (if
available) or receive credit for the full purchase price.
Repeat Buyer Discount. There is nothing more valuable to us than a happy customer who keeps
purchasing your first bull at this sale, you will qualify for a 5% discount at our next sale.
Quantity Discounts. To make it easier for you to purchase all your bulls at one sale, we offer
quantity discounts. If you purchase five or more bulls, we will give you a 5% Discount on all the bulls you
purchase at this sale. If you purchase ten or more bulls, we will give you a 10% Discount on all the bulls
you purchase at this sale. Do the math — that’s one FREE bull for every nine that you purchase! You
cannot go together with others to receive this discount.
You cannot combine above discounts to receive a higher discount.
Announcements from the Auction Block, and supplemental information provided at the sale, will
take precedence over the printed matter in this catalog.
Colorado Pre-Sale Meeting. You are invited to our pre-sale meeting Sunday night
(Nov. 9 th) at 7:00. This meeting will be held at the sale barn just west of Burlington, Colorado. As
always, this meeting is FREE and open to the public. Feel free to invite your friends and neighbors.
Our featured guest speaker will be James Coffelt who is
first and foremost a businessman. James is a first-generation
rancher. He owns and operates Ohio Land and Cattle — a
ranch in Eastern Ohio that supports 500-plus cows. James is
one of PCC’s cooperative producers.
James believes the combination of land and cattle is one
of the greatest wealth-building opportunities that exists. He
has the unique ability to see opportunities and possibilities
that most cow-calf producers are unable to see.
Among other things, James will discuss the current
beef industry, owning and leasing land, cash flow, hunting
and other enterprises, grass-finished beef, ultra-low-input
management and tax management — all from the perspective
of his ranch and his experience.

Bull Warranty…
It’s unfortunate, but sometimes young bulls will become injured prior to or during their first
breeding season. Often these injuries are life threatening. In an effort to better serve our customers, we
are offering an optional warranty on all bulls sold through this bull sale. This warranty will cover loss of
use injuries, as well as death. If you have a warranty claim, we will refund your purchase price. This
warranty coverage is available in two levels: Basic or Extended.
Basic — 30-Day Warranty
The Basic 30-day Warranty covers the bull for 30 days after the sale. We require it on all bulls
purchased through one of our three Stay-At-Home options, as well as on all bulls that will be delivered to
one of our delivery points. However, it is also available on other purchases. This basic coverage is
intended to cover liability issues and to protect the buyer’s interests until the animal is safe and sound at
its new home. The cost of this Basic Warranty is 2% of the purchase price. It will automatically be
added to the purchase price of all Stay-At-Home purchases, as well as to purchases that will be delivered
to one of our delivery points.
Extended — Breeding Season Warranty
The Extended Breeding Season Warranty covers the bull through his first breeding season. It
starts on sale day and will last through 45 days into the bull’s first breeding season. When you purchase
this warranty you must provide the date that you intend to turn the bull out for breeding purposes. The
coverage will last for 45 days after that date. We are willing to rely on your honesty. The cost of this
Extended Warranty is 7% of the bull’s purchase price. This coverage is completely optional. You can
take it or leave it, but remember it takes the place of any other loss-of-use guarantee provided by Pharo
Cattle Company.

Sale Information and Data — Explained
Actual and Adjusted Weights: Actual birth weights, along with adjusted 205-day and off-test
weights, are provided for most bulls. This is good information, but it doesn’t tell the whole story because
the surrounding environment can greatly affect these weights. Therefore, you can’t use this information to
make comparisons with other herds, but you can use it to make valid comparisons within a herd. Ratios
make this very easy.
Ratios:
Ratios are provided for birth weights, 205-day weights, 470-day weights, and for rate
of gain. A ratio shows how a bull compares to his within-herd contemporaries. A ratio of 100% is average,
while a ratio of 105% is 5% above herd average, and a ratio of 95% is 5% below herd average. Birth weight
ratios have been inverted. In other words, the lowest birth weights will have the highest ratios.
EPDs: EPD is short for Expected Progeny Differences. It’s a prediction of the difference between
the average progeny of one individual bull and the average progeny of other individual bulls. Since EPDs are
able to take into account the differences that exist between environments, they can be effectively used to
compare animals from different herds. Each breed association uses a different method for calculating their
EPDs, so you cannot compare EPDs of bulls from two different breeds. Within a breed, though, EPDs can
provide some very valuable information. For example, a bull with a birth weight EPD of –2.0 should sire
calves that are 5 pounds lighter than a bull with a +3.0 birth weight EPD. We strive for optimum and
balanced EPDs, rather than for extremes in any one trait.
ADG on Test: Our forage-tested bulls were tested for their ability to perform on grass. Bulls that
perform well in a forage test should sire cattle that are also efficient foragers. For social reasons, we can
only run 35 to 50 bulls in a herd. This set of bulls was run in ten separate herds on similar, yet different,
forage resources. Therefore, the ten herds differed substantially in their average daily gains. To avoid
any confusion, we are not posting individual rates of gain. We are, however, posting individual gain
indexes. This figure accurately compares each bull to his herd mates.
Scrotal Circumference: Actual measurements are provided for our forage-tested bulls. Keep in
mind, there is absolutely no fat in the scrotum of these range bulls. There is nothing but testicles! It doesn’t
take much fat in the scrotum to increase the circumference by several centimeters. Testicle size seems to be
a good indicator of early maturity. This trait can be passed on to a bull’s daughters.
Frame Score: A frame score of 2.5 to 5 seems to be optimum for the cow herd, as well as the
feedlot and packing plant. The smaller the frame, the more efficient the cow. The only difference between
a frame 4 and a frame 5 is a couple of inches between the ground and the belly — which doesn’t weigh
anything and is impossible to eat! Our most efficient cows have a frame score of 2 to 4 — with enough
thickness to weigh 1000 to 1250 pounds.
Frame score is hip height adjusted for age. Unfortunately, the formula used for young bulls is based
on feedlot-developed bulls. It will not work on our forage-developed bulls. Therefore, we use XS, S, S/M,
M, M/L and L (roughly equivalent to frames 2.5 to 5.5).
Our Predictions: We have provided some predictions on how we feel each of these bulls should
be rated for Calving Ease, Disposition, Fleshing Ability, Low Maintenance and Hair Coat. Each
bull is rated with 1 to 5 stars, with 5 being the best and 3 being about average. Remember, 3 stars is not
bad. Fleshing Ability, Disposition and Hair Coat are discussed on page 12.
Maternal Information: Valuable information has also been provided on the mother of most
bulls. Cow Age is the dam’s age at calving. Cow Weight is her actual weight at weaning, adjusted to a
standard body condition score of 5. At calving we give each cow an Udder Score from 1 to 5. A score
of 3 would be an average, yet very functional udder, while a score of 5 would be nearly perfect. On the
registered bulls, we are also able to calculate a Cow Longevity score from 1 to 5 — with 5 being the
best. It’s rare to have a bull with a young dam have 5 stars for cow longevity, but it is possible.

Ultrasound Scanning
There has been a rapid-growing interest in
grass-based genetics and grass-fed beef. For the
past several years, we have sold bulls and semen
to over 100 people who produce and market grass
-fed beef. Although that is a small share of our
overall market, it is still quite significant.
program specifically for that purpose. We
have been using this program since the spring
of 2006. Cattle that can produce a superior
carcass on nothing but grass will be able to
do the same thing on grain.
All of the bulls in our Colorado sale have
been scanned by Clay Nash. We believe you will
find this data to be quite impressive. The ultrasound data, along with more explanation, can be
found on pages 96 to 103. For help in using this
information, feel free to call Clay at 870-897-3167.
We also suggest you read the article Dr. Williams
wrote on page 96.
Finding genetics that work well in a
grass-based program is becoming more and
more difficult in the industry’s corn-based
genetic pool. To enable producers to more
quickly identify cattle with the genetic makeup
to excel in a grass-finishing program, scientists
have perfected a live animal carcass software
Low-Maintenance
Many of the traits we now measure and
have EPDs for do not have a direct effect on
ranch profits. Several breed associations are
working on ways to quantify and compare a few
economically relevant traits (ERTs). These are
traits that directly affect profits.
The Angus Association has created a
Cow Energy Value ($EN) EPD. The higher the
number the better. The Red Angus Association
has a similar EPD called the Maintenance Energy
(ME) EPD. The lower the number the better.
Nearly all the bulls promoted by the bigname AI companies and mainstream seedstock
producers literally stink in the area of cow energy
requirements. They have way too much milk,
growth and size to fit in a real-world, commercial
ranch environment. In contrast, nearly all of the
genetics used by Pharo Cattle Company excel in
this area — REALLY excel!
There are two relatively new ERTs that
everyone at Pharo Cattle Company is extremely
excited about. They predict the amount of
energy required by mature cows to maintain body
weight. We’ve known for many, many years
that this is something that can have a tremendous
impact on ranch profits.
Cow Longevity
How can you identify the most efficient
and most profitable cows in a cowherd? The
answer is so simple that most people miss it.
The most efficient and profitable cows in an
unpampered cowherd will always be the oldest
cows. These are cows that have done everything
right without missing for at least twelve years.
Cow longevity is the most important
trait to select for because it encompasses all of
the other important maternal traits. We have
devised a formula, based on all the cows in a
4-generation pedigree, to calculate a longevity
score for all of the registered bulls in this sale.
Scores range from 1 to 5 stars, with 5 being the
very best.
Honest, unpampered, teenage cows have
addressed all of the issues relative to fertility,
energy requirements, frame size, production,
structural soundness, mothering ability and
disposition. These are time-proven cows that
can seldom be improved upon.
Our formula may not be perfect, but it
allows us to determine which bulls are most
likely to produce daughters that will keep going
and going and going. In time, we will probably
make slight adjustments to our formula.
11
H
Hair Coat
air coat is an excellent indicator of animal health and well-being. A healthy beef animal will have a
vibrant-looking hair coat — slick and shiny in the summer and cuddly-looking in the winter. In
contrast, an unhealthy beef animal will have a dull, dead-looking hair coat.
An animal’s ability to shed off early in the spring is another very good indicator of health and
well-being. The late Jan Bonsma had much to say about this subject. Among other things, he said, “In
selecting livestock for functional efficiency there is no single factor which can give such positive results
as early hair shedding. Animals can shed their hair early in the spring only if they are well adapted to
their environment, are in good nutritional status, and have the correct hormonal balance.”
We have been observing and scoring hair coat for many years. The fall of 2006, though, was the
first time we put hair coat scores in a sale catalog. A 5-star hair coat is as good as they get. A 3-star hair
coat is about average. If you live in a relatively hot and/or humid environment, hair coat is a trait you should
pay special attention to. Bulls with a 4 or 5 star hair coat should work well in the south and southeast.
T
Fleshing Ability
he bulls in this catalog have all been rated for fleshing ability. Simply put, this is the animal’s ability to
put on and maintain good body condition, even with a limited amount of feed. When feed is plentiful
they will rapidly improve their condition. Later this extra condition can serve as a reserve to help the animal
survive the tougher times.
Over the years, we have noticed that our easy fleshing cows seem to breed back earlier and stay in the
cowherd much longer than our hard-keeping cows. There appears to be an extremely high correlation
between fertility and fleshing ability. Therefore, fleshing ability has become one of the most important
economic traits we select for. Hard-keeping cows will eventually fail to breed back in a program as tough
as ours. Fleshing ability is a trait that needs to be bred in — NOT fed in.
Easy-fleshing bulls should sire daughters that are easy-fleshing. Our sale bulls are rated with 1 to 5
“stars” for fleshing ability, with “5” being the best. We believe you should pay special attention to this trait
if you are raising your own replacement females.
P
Disposition
oor disposition in a cowherd can be created by rough handling, but it is also very heritable! A bull
with a bad disposition will not only cause problems himself, he will also sire replacement females with
similar disposition problems. Before you know it, your entire cowherd will become much more difficult to
handle and work with.
At calving we give each cow a score for disposition, from 1 to 5. If there is a problem, we eliminate
it. I want a momma cow that is protective and concerned about her new baby, but not to the point that she
creates a hazard to my health. Every time our cattle are sorted or run through the chute we monitor and
record disposition problems. We will not tolerate cattle that are nervous, wild or hard to handle.
All of our bulls have been put through a simple test that allows us to give them a score for disposition,
from 1 to 5. We sort each bull off by himself in an alley and crowd him between two people. This
measures the bull’s comfort zone, as well as his disposition. A bull that will stand calmly, with no signs of
excitement or nervousness, will receive a high score. If a bull gets nervous and tries to run past us he will
receive a low score. Each bull is rated with 1 to 5 “stars”, with “5” being the best. Let me emphasize that
“3” stars is not bad — it is about average. Many of our customers say our 3-star disposition bulls are better
than the bulls they have been purchasing from other seedstock programs.
12
The Traits We Evaluate…
…and Score
Fr om the ver y beginning, Phar o Cattle
Company has been evaluating and scoring bulls
for a variety of traits — traits that most seedstock
producers have never even considered. Suffice
it to say, we have always been Different for all
the Right Reasons. Each bull is individually
sorted off and evaluated by four to six people in
a 12-foot sorting alley. A rating of “5” is best,
with a “3” being average. Below are the traits we evaluate and score — as well as what we are looking
for. Scores for some of these traits can only be found by using our unique Quick Sort program (see
page 6).

Fleshing Ability… The amount of condition (fat) that a bull car r ies under his hide. While
some bulls are able to get fat on limited feed resources, others do good just to hold their own. For
the most part, we use the ultrasound measurement for back fat thickness to score this trait.

Thickness… This is basically a measur ement of depth and width. It has little to do with
muscling. What we are looking for is the most pounds for every inch of height. High-volume
animals with a lot of heart girth are the type required for low-input, grass-based programs.

Muscling… Since we’r e in the beef business, we need animals with substantial muscling. The
best place to look for natural muscling is in the twist area (between the rear legs). Light-muscled
animals are narrow and cut up high in the twist. In contrast, heavy-muscled animals are deep and
wide in the twist.

Masculinity… A bull should look like a bull — and the sooner he does, the better. For the
most part, we are looking for the presence or absence of secondary sexual characteristics. The
neck and the head are the best places to look. We like a bull with a thick, wide neck that has a
very pronounced crest on top. Bulls also need to have a “bull” head — not a “cow” head.

Overall Rating… This is over all visual appear ance or eye appeal. While some bulls ar e
extremely attractive, others are very plain in appearance. The most attractive bulls will usually
have high scores for most of the other traits we evaluate and score — but not always.

Hair Coat… Healthy, well-adapted bulls will have a lively looking hair coat year-round. During
the winter months, the hair should have a soft “teddy bear” look and feel to it. In the summer, the
hair coat should be short, slick and shiny — shiny enough to almost see your reflection. The
presence of dull, dead hair will lower the hair coat score.

Fly Resistance… This is not as difficult to evaluate and scor e as some think. We simply
assess how many flies each bull has. There is often a big difference between bulls within the
same herd. While a few bulls are black with flies, others will have very few flies. In the cool
morning hours, flies will be on the animal’s back. As the day warms up, the flies will move to
the shaded areas of the belly and legs.

Disposition… Disposition is the last thing we evaluate and scor e. It is impor tant for a
bull to be separated from his herd mates for an extended period of time before we can accurately
evaluate his disposition. As you are evaluating the bull for other traits, his disposition (good or
bad) will begin to express itself. We like to crowd the bull from both sides to test his flight
zone. Bulls that remain very calm receive a high disposition score — while those that show signs
of fear, nervousness and/or aggression will receive a low score.

Eastern Bull and Female Sale
Saturday, November 1, 2014
This will be our first-ever Eastern Bull Sale.
We have sold a substantial number of bulls in
the East and Northeast for the past 12 years. We have been producing bulls in Ohio for the past five
years. Until now, those bulls were hauled to Colorado to be developed and sold.
The Angus and Red Angus bulls that will be selling in this sale were developed on grass in
Ohio. They will be sold at 18 to 20 months of age. This sale will take place at Muskingum Livestock
Auction in Zanesville, Ohio.
To get this first-ever sale off to a good start, we decided to lead off with a PCC-Influenced Female
Sale. The heifer s selling in this special sale will have low-maintenance Pharo Cattle Company genetics
on both sides of their pedigree. Those that are bred will be bred to a Pharo bull. Our female sale will
start promptly at 10:00 am Eastern Time. For more information on the heifers that will be selling,
contact the consignors.
James Coffelt — five registered Angus bred heifers (from a PCC Cooperative Herd). For more
information, call 330-328-4470 or send an email to [email protected].
Justy Burleson — ten high-percentage Red Angus bred heifers. Call 740-645-8834 or send an
email to [email protected].
Dave Spindler — five high-percentage Angus heifer calves and five high-percentage Angus bred
heifers. Call 740-525-9596 or send an email to [email protected].
Heifers will be brought into the sale ring five at a time. Each group will have a base price and
will be sold via our unique Cowboy Auction (see page 4). The high bidder will be able to take his or her
choice of one heifer up to all five.

Grass-Developed Bulls
keep going, and going, and going...
and going, and going, and going, and going...
Johnny B Good
Pledge
Tough Times won’t last — but Tough Bulls will
“All of the bulls we have purchased from you are still going
strong. The oldest two are coming nine years old.”
(Eddie
Abraham — Texas)
“The grass-developed bulls I purchased from you are great!
During an extreme drought, they gained weight.”
(Dan Flitner —
New Mexico)
“You said your bulls could gain weight during their first
breeding season — and they did. That’s why we keep coming
(Larry Gilstrap — Colorado)
back to your sale.”
“The 12 bulls we purchased from you are very aggressive
breeders — and they held their condition better than our older
bulls.”
(Ed Weppner — Wyoming)
“My forage-tested Pharo bull is able to stay fat on nothing
but grass.” (Keith Boulden — North Dakota)
22
“We have purchased 45 grass-developed PCC bulls over the
years, and none of them lost weight during their first breeding
(Grover Thompson —
season. They stay fat year-round.”
Nebraska)
“My Pharo bull has survived the drought quite well. I am
very impressed with how he continues to put on weight and
(Bob Arntz — Missouri)
condition.”
“I just sold my first PCC bull at age 12. He bred around
50 cows every year and always stayed in great shape.”
(Dan
Temaat — Kansas)
“After a severe winter, our Pharo bulls are in much better
condition than our other bulls. From now on, we will use nothing
but Pharo bulls.” (Gary Howie — South Dakota)
“We put our new PCC bull in with our heifers and he bred
47 head in 21 days — all by himself!” (Kathy Kissack — Wyoming)
“I couldn't agree with you more about PCC bulls being able
to breed more cows for more years than other bulls. I put my
two grass-developed bulls out with 60 to 70 cows each — and
they did great!”
(Delvin LaDuke — North Dakota)
“The ability of your bulls to breed a large number of
heifers in a short period of time has greatly improved my
(John Nino — California)
profitability.”
“Your bulls have proved themselves so well that we have
been able to reduce the total number of bulls we use by 17
(Jim Espy — Wyoming)
bulls.”
“I put our newest forage-tested PCC bull out with 60
heifers, knowing he wouldn’t settle all of them. He settled 59 of
the 60 — while gaining weight!” (Howard Knuppe — South Dakota)

3/4 brother to previous bull — 1/2 brother to lots 67-71
"Bull delivery is a great service. I didn't know when Beechnut would
arrive, so Wednesday I took my cattle trailer to the harvest field with
me. When the call came, I shook loose and picked him up. Had some
errands to run, so what the heck, I took him to town with me. At the first
stop I looked back at the trailer.
No bull!
Poked my head in the
window. He was on the floor. Chewing his cud. Made my other stops. Still
lounging.
Got him home and dumped him in the corral with a new
bunkmate. Immediately drank five gallons of water and headed to the feed
rack. Next week, out with the bachelors."

“I believe I am the furthest
ranch north of the U.S. to have PCC
Bulls. The two bulls I purchased from
you at your fall sale have gained
weight over the winter on a forage
diet. The temperature on some days
dropped down to -54 degrees
below zero, Fahrenheit.”

Paradigm Shift…
Although the word “paradigm” has been a part of
What is a
para-dig-um ?
the English language since the 15th century, it never
received much use until the 1960’s. We didn’t hear
the word used much in agricultural circles for
another 20-plus years. Pronounced “para-dime”, the
word has always been defined as “one that serves as a
Kit
pattern or model”. Since the 1960’s, we have used the
word paradigm to refer to a set of assumptions, concepts and practices that constitute the way we view
the world around us. Therefore, a paradigm shift would involve rejecting one worldview in favor of
another one. It is a change from one way of thinking to another one. It is a transformation.
Allow me to provide an example of a paradigm and a paradigm shift. There is ample evidence
that early civilizations believed the earth they lived on was flat. That was their paradigm. Eventually
someone came along to challenge that paradigm with the concept that the earth is round. It is not easy
to move from one paradigm to another. It upsets a wide range of previously held beliefs. It requires
one to admit that his previous assumptions were wrong. Over time, though, most people eventually
adopted the paradigm that says the earth is round. However, there are still a few who adamantly
proclaim the earth is flat. They belong to an organization called the Flat Earth Society.
So, what does this have to do with us? We all have a set of par adigms that deter mine the
way we live our lives. I often challenge ranchers to “think outside the box”. The “box” I am referring
to is the paradigm that governs how they operate and manage their business. There may be better
paradigms, but they will never know about them until they peek outside the box they have put themselves
into. That is just the beginning, though. Making a paradigm shift will require even more effort.
Most ranchers adhere to what I call the “production” paradigm. This paradigm revolves around
the assumption that they must continually increase their production to succeed. For the past 40 years,
ranchers have done whatever they could to increase their production — with little, or no, concern about
their profits. They started calving in winter, they increased the amount of harvested and purchased feed
they fed, they increased the size and maintenance requirements of their momma cows, they pampered
their cattle, they doctored and treated their cattle for everything known to man, etc., etc. They increased
their production, but they forgot that every increase in production comes with a cost. You cannot get
something for nothing. Consequently, they unknowingly reached a point several years ago in which
every increase in production was actually reducing their net profits. Their production-driven paradigm
no longer makes sense. It needs to be replaced by a profit-driven paradigm.
A paradigm shift always involves change — often major change. It’s not easy, because people
hate change. People also hate to admit they were wrong about something. Therefore, making the shift
from a production-driven paradigm to a profit-driven paradigm is much easier said than done. Making
this transition even more difficult are all the people and companies that are dependent on the production
paradigm. That’s right; there are many, many individuals and companies that associate the survival
of the production-driven paradigm with their own survival — and rightfully so. I am referring to
those who have built their business and their reputation on maximizing production. This group includes
most seedstock producers, many university personnel and thousands of companies that produce and
market production-enhancing products that increase our expenses.
To shift, or not to shift — that is the question. Even though a par adigm shift won’t be easy,
it will be necessary if ranchers want to remain profitable.

“We really like the new bull we bought sight-unseen at your fall sale.
We picked him up right after the truck got to Dadeville and when we got
home he was lying down in the trailer. He got up and walked out and was so
calm. We really like his looks! This made the 6th or 7th bull we have
purchased from you and we have always been happy with the calves they
produce, the condition of the bulls year-round and their dispositions.”

Herd Quitter…
At first glance, the term “herd quitter” seems to have a negative
HQ
connotation. No one wants to be a quitter — but wait a minute… it
depends on what you are quitting. For example, after chewing
Copenhagen for twenty-three years, I quit in 1993. That was a
good thing! There are things that we should quit. Therefore,
being a quitter is not always bad.
I use the term “herd quitter” to refer to people who have
enough courage to break away from the status-quo, herd-mentality way of thinking. Following the
crowd and doing what everyone else is doing is seldom the best way to manage your business. In fact,
it may be the absolute worst way to manage your business. If you’re doing what everyone else is doing,
you will never have a competitive advantage. If you don’t have a competitive advantage, it will be
very difficult for you to compete — especially when the economy takes a downturn.
Consider, if you will, a herd of cows. Cows, for the most part, are social animals. They like
to be a part of a herd. It gives them a sense of comfort and security that they don’t have when they are
alone. When cows move, they almost always move as a herd — whether they are being pushed or
moving on their own. Once a herd has movement, it is very difficult to stop or turn. It develops a
mind of its own. I refer to this as “herd mentality”. The only individual thinking that takes place is
done by a few of the more wary animals who are always on the outside edges of the herd.
If the cowherd is headed toward hidden danger of some sort, there is very little chance that it
can be averted. The entire herd will be in trouble before anyone knows it. The only ones that will be
able to avoid the danger will be the individual thinkers on the outside edges of the herd. These are the
herd quitters. Rather than follow the herd into danger, they will break away from the herd. The herd
quitters, no doubt, will be chided by other herd members for leaving the herd and for taking a different
path — but in the end, the rest of the herd will wish they had followed the herd quitters.
More and more ranchers are becoming herd quitters — and none too soon. They have quit
following the conventional, status-quo herd of high-input, unsustainable agriculture. They have quit
following outdated traditions. They have quit focusing their entire program on increasing weaning
weights (and cow size). They believe that agriculture must be both profitable and enjoyable to be
sustainable. They believe ranchers are in the business of converting free solar energy into a greattasting, high-protein food product — and if properly done, the cow will do nearly all of the work for
them. They believe ranching is a great way of life — and they are excited about the future!
Dare to be Different! Dare to be a herd-quitter! You can no longer afford to be a part of the
outdated, status-quo beef industry. Even though the writing is on the wall and it isn’t that difficult to
read and understand, most producers will not change until they are forced to change. Allan Nation,
editor of the Stockman GrassFarmer, once told me, “Most people would rather fail conventionally than
succeed unconventionally.” Sad… but true. Most people hate change. They are afraid to break away
from the herd.
Perhaps someone needs to start a support group for Herd Quitters (Hi, I’m Kit — and I am a
herd quitter). That way we will know that we are not alone. We will be able to encourage and support
one another as we endeavor to replace old, outdated paradigms. Folks, as long as we know we are on
the right path, it doesn’t matter what everyone else is saying and doing. So what if they criticize and
poke fun at us? We need to maintain our focus on building a fun, profitable and sustainable model
for beef production.

“We picked up the bull we bought SUS in very good shape. A week later
we weighed him (1160 pounds) and turned him out with about 70 spring-calving
cows.
We left him by himself for two weeks before we turned in 2 more
bulls. He was pulled 90 days later and we weighed him at 1225 pounds. He has
been in the "bull lot" since and has fleshed up even more. We can't wait to see
what he will look like after going through one of our lush spring seasons.”
Cathy Sandberg — Oregon

Two Plus Two Equals Five
Hybrid Vigor, also known as heter osis, is
a marked increase in performance and output that
can be achieved through crossbreeding. It is
equivalent to 2 + 2 = 5. Although hybrid vigor
is not totally free, it’s as close to free as we’re ever
going to get. Hybrid vigor has a significant effect
on growth and performance, but its greatest effect
is on fertility, doability and longevity. Therefore,
a crossbred cow has huge economic advantages
over a purebred cow.
Commercial ranchers need to be wor king
with a crossbred cowherd, because they cannot
afford to give up the advantages of hybrid vigor
and breed complementarity. However, managing
an effective crossbreeding system requires some
forethought and discipline. You can’t just buy
the cheapest bulls that meet your basic color
requirements. Take time to make a plan and then
stick with it.
Pharo Cattle Company can provide all
the genetic ingredients for a successful crossbreeding system. This sale has a great selection
of Angus, Red Angus, and Composite bulls to
choose from. We are a no-nonsense seedstock
producer who has always selected for efficient,
moderate-sized, maternal cattle. Our cows run
on short native grass year-round with minimum
supplementation.
Here is an analogy that might make this
concept a little easier to understand. Straight
breeding (Angus x Angus) is like depositing
money in a checking account. What you put in is
exactly what you can take back out. On the other
hand, crossbreeding is like depositing money in a
savings account. Not only can you take out what
you put in, you will also take out some accrued
interest (hybrid vigor).
Keeping it simple. If you would like
the advantages of hybrid vigor and breed
complementarity without all the problems and
headaches involved in managing a crossbreeding
system, you might consider using our Composite
bulls. Traditional crossbreeding requires all
cows to be identified and sorted into different
breeding pastures to be bred by bulls of different
breeds. For many this requires too much time
and management. Most crossbreeding systems
will also produce a lack of uniformity because
calves are sired by two or more different breeds
of bulls.
Breed Complementarity is a n ot h er
positive factor that can only be achieved through
some form of crossbreeding. This involves taking
the positive traits that exist in two different
purebreds and putting them together in a crossbred
animal. In other words, the traits of one breed will
complement the traits of another breed when they
are combined.
A crossbred range cow should be 50% to
100% English (Angus, Hereford, Red Angus)
breeding.
She should never be over 50%
Continental (Tarentaise, Gelbvieh, Simmental)
breeding. Since some continental breeds are not
maternal in nature they should seldom, if ever, be
used to produce replacement heifers.
Composite bulls enable you to run your
entire cowherd together with one set of bulls, if
so desired. Record keeping and sorting can be
minimized. This also makes it possible for you
to implement a rotational grazing system.
Crossbred calves that seem to perform the
best in the feedlot and on the rail will be 50% to
75% English breeding and 25% to 50% Continental
breeding. Although 100% English bred calves
cannot compete with continental-cross calves for
cutability, they excel in the white table cloth
market, as well as the grass-fed beef market.
Our Composite bulls can simplify your
breeding system, as well as move your program in
the right direction. They’re 50% to 75% English
breeding and 25% to 50% Continental breeding,
and they can be either red or black in color.

The Optimum Cow…
With rising land, feed and energy costs,
there has been a lot of discussion lately about
what the so-called “optimum” cow is. Most
of the discussions I have heard or read lead
you to believe optimum is different for different
environments. A few will lead you to believe
the optimum cow could be different for different
people within the same environment. I’m not
sure I agree with either of those viewpoints. I
Typical PCC Angus Cow and Calf
don’t think it is that complicated.
For most ranchers, the optimum cow is the most profitable cow — the cow that can do the most
for the least. When we consider cow efficiency, a smaller cow will always have an advantage over a
bigger cow. Smaller cows can do more for less. If your ranch can support 100 head of 1400-pound
cows, it will support 120 head of 1100-pound cows — on the exact same inputs. That’s 20% more
cows producing 20% more calves — and I guarantee those 120 smaller cows will always produce
more total pounds of beef than the 100 larger cows. On top of that, the calves out of the smaller
cows (because they have smaller individual weights) will be worth more per pound.
If smaller cows can produce more total pounds that are worth more per pound on the exact same
inputs — then smaller cows are obviously much closer to optimum than bigger cows. So, how small
can we go? Is there a point at which smaller cows cease to be more profitable than bigger cows?
Since nearly all cow-calf producers are in the commodity business, the product they produce
must fit within the current parameters of the commodity beef industry. If their product is too big or
too small, it will be discounted. Therefore, we can only reduce cow size to the point that our calves
still fit the parameters of the existing corn-based commodity beef industry.
The optimum cow size at Pharo Cattle Company is a 2 to 4 frame cow that weighs 1000 to 1250
pounds. Cows that are bigger than this are not efficient or profitable enough to carry their own weight.
Cows that are smaller than this, even though they are extremely efficient, may produce calves that are
too small to work well in the existing corn-based system.
Some will say, “Since I live in a better environment, I can have bigger cows.” I don’t see
what difference that makes. I could have a whole herd of 1800-pound cows if I wanted to — but the
herd wouldn’t be very big. No matter how good or how bad your environment is, you can run a
higher number of smaller cows that will always out-produce a smaller herd of big cows.

What Does the Future Hold ?
The current beef production model was
built on cheap grain and cheap fuel. Times
have changed! For the past 40 years, input
costs have risen five times faster than cattle
prices. What has worked so well for the past 40
years will NOT work for the next 40 years. As
we move toward more of a grass-based system,
optimum cow size may be reduced even more.

Masculinity, Nutrition — and Bull IMF
by Allen R. Williams, Ph.D.
For over a decade there has been confusion among cattlemen regarding the results of live animal
carcass ultrasound and how to interpret data collected between seedstock producers. In no trait is this
confusion more notable than with % IMF (intramuscular fat or marbling). This particular trait measurement
is heavily impacted by several factors, including bull masculinity, degree of nutrition and bull activity (related
to masculinity). These factors can greatly impact the degree to which IMF is expressed — although they do
not, in any way, change the genetic potential.
Bull Masculinity and Activity
Bull masculinity and degree of testicular development clearly impact the expression and ultrasonic
measurement of IMF. It is important to remember that the male sex hormone testosterone is a potent IMF
inhibitor. In over a decade of collecting ultrasound IMF measurements on yearling to long yearling bulls, it
has become very apparent that the level of masculinity and testicular development plays a significant role in
the magnitude of the ultrasound IMF measurements. In other words, bulls that are thick-muscled, exhibiting
signs of heavy development of secondary sex characteristics (crest to the neck, heavy shoulders, etc.) and have
good to excellent testicular development will have IMF measurements that are biased downwards due to the
inhibitory effect of testosterone. Statistical analysis of IMF data, coupled with scrotal circumference data,
clearly indicates a significant negative correlation between bull masculinity and actual IMF. What this means
is that in many instances (not all), bulls that have a very high ultrasound IMF are often not very masculine
bulls. The lower testosterone activity in these bulls allows for greater phenotypic expression of IMF, but does
not give a true picture of the IMF genetic potential as compared to the very masculine bulls.
Bull Nutrition
Level of nutrition leading up to the yearling stage greatly impacts expression of IMF. It has long been
known that bulls developed on high concentrate rations will exhibit a higher magnitude of IMF deposition, at
the same age, than bulls developed on lower concentrate or forage rations. That is one of the reasons most
seedstock operations develop bulls on 50% or greater concentrate rations. The bulls gain quite a bit of
condition (backfat) and lay down a higher level of intramuscular fat. Fat, slick bulls appeal to a lot of bull
buyers. The problem is, you often don’t know what you are really buying because fat covers over a lot of
faults and can give a very false impression of actual fleshing ability. Bull buyers also like to see high
ultrasound IMF scores. Again, this can lead to misinterpretation by mistaking IMF due to high concentrate
feeding with actual genetic potential for IMF. Bulls can only lay down IMF to the degree to which their
nutritional environment will allow. Therefore, just as with bull masculinity and activity, it is important to
compare bulls within contemporary groups only and not from ranch to ranch.
The PCC Bulls in this Sale
In the case of the PCC bulls, it is evident that many of these bulls are thick, heavily-developed bulls
that exhibit a high degree of masculinity at 12-18 months of age. This masculinity, in and of itself, will inhibit
phenotypic expression of IMF. Couple masculinity with high levels of activity — and then consider the fact
that these bulls have had nothing but an all-grass diet. Add in the heat stress of this past summer and you
have greatly impacted the degree to which IMF can be expressed via ultrasound IMF measurement. Therefore,
it is important that these bulls be compared for their genetic potential for IMF — not for the magnitude of their
actual IMF measurements.
For your benefit in selecting bulls for IMF genetic potential, the decision was made to convert IMF
measurements to an IMF ratio, calculated within each contemporary group. This allows for an accurate and
true comparison between bulls and alleviates the temptation to compare solely based on the actual IMF
measurement. I have analyzed actual carcass data from progeny produced from many of the prominent
bloodlines utilized within PCC seedstock, and the results clearly show that there is true genetic potential for
marbling or IMF. The majority of the progeny sired by these genetics will produce grass-fed and grain-fed
cattle that grade USDA Choice, or better, at harvest.

Ultrasound Data . . . for Colorado Bull Sale
The live animal carcass ultrasound used by Dr. Allen Williams and his associates is an automated,
chute-side software system that captures images and calculates trait measurements on an objective basis. The
traits determined by this ultrasound software are:
Back Fat Thickness
Ribeye Area/Hundred Weight (REA/CWT)
Ribeye Shape Score
Percent Intramuscular Fat Ratio (% IMF RATIO)
Ribeye Area (REA)
Tenderness Score
On this and the following six pages, we have posted these measurements and scores (except
Ribeye Area) for all of the bulls in this sale — by lot number. Dr. Williams considers the Ribeye Shape
Score and the Tenderness Score to be the two most important traits because they are not affected much
by environment or by the amount of feed consumed by the animal. In other words, these scores should
be about the same whether the animal is being fed a hot feedlot ration or grazing poor quality forages with
no supplement. Dr. Williams provided brief descriptions of these two traits below.
Ribeye Shape Score: This scor e is indicative of desir ed shape of the r ibeye muscle. It is
correlated to gain efficiency, as well as to eventual yield grade, cutability, and % retail product. The score
ranges from 0.0 to 1.0, with an acceptable score being 0.35 or greater. An ideal score is 0.50 or greater.
Tenderness Score: This scor e is cor r elated to the actual War ner -Bratzler Shear Force in a
carcass ribeye steak at the 12th rib location. This score ranges from 10-50, with 20 being very tender, 30
being slightly tender, 40 being slightly tough, and 50 being tough. An ideal score is 25 or less, but 29 or
less is considered acceptable in bulls.

Cooperator Herds
Phar o Cattle Company is much mor e
than one family and one ranch. In reality, we
could be described as a multi-family owned and
operated seedstock producer.
The demand for Pharo Cattle Company
bulls has increased tremendously over the past
several years. In order to meet this demand and to
keep our prices affordable, we thought it necessary
to increase the number of bulls offered in our
annual bull sales. This task is not as easy as it
sounds because we refuse to sacrifice quality for
quantity!
The Solution. Over the year s our seedstock program has evolved into a network of
outstanding cooperative producers. We’ve been
able to increase our numbers, without sacrificing
quality, by selecting the best bull calves from
several select cooperator herds. I’m referring to
producers who have philosophies, genetics, and
breeding programs very similar to our own. For
the most part, these are breeders we have been
working very closely with for several years.
Biographies for all of our cooper ative
producers can be found on the next few pages.
These producers have signed a contract with
Pharo Cattle Company. In so doing, they have
agreed to abide by some strict guidelines,
including the following philosophies.
Philosophies Behind Our Bulls
1. Honesty and integrity will never be compromised.
2. We will manage the natural resources placed under our control in a sustainable manner.
3. The breed of cattle is not nearly as important as the breeding program and the
philosophies that produce the cattle.
4. Cows are run in a real-world environment, as tough or tougher than the environment
most commercial cows are run in.
5. We let the environment sort out the good ones, while we show absolutely no sympathy
for open, late, or dry cows.
6. We will never make an excuse for a cow. A cow must produce and wean a calf every
year to remain in the herd.
7. By limiting feed resources, we try to apply sufficient pressure on the cowherd to force
out the unadapted and infertile animals — at least 10 percent each year.
8. In addition to growth and performance, we select for some other vital economic traits
like fertility, calving ease, moderate cow size, fleshing ability, structural correctness,
disposition, and longevity.
9. Replacement heifers are developed on a low-cost, forage-based diet with minimum
supplements. We only want the most efficient and most adapted heifers to make it into
the cowherd.
10. A bull calf must be born unassisted from an efficient, moderate-sized cow that has never
missed in order to make it into one of our bull sales.
Bull Selection. When we go into these
cooperative herds we are extremely selective.
Performance is important, but we also select for
calving ease, structural correctness, disposition,
fleshing ability and thickness. In addition to all
this, we require that the bulls’ mothers be efficient,
moderate-sized cows that have never been
pampered. We can’t afford to make any mistakes
because our reputation is at stake. We only want
the best of the best! As time goes on, and as these
herds improve we have been able to select more
and more of their bulls for our program.

4-P — 4-P Farms
Rod Pelton grew up as a farm boy in Eastern Colorado, and always
thought that was what he wanted to do. However, after marrying the neighbor
girl (Kit’s sister) and becoming familiar with the Pharo cattle operation, he
realized that he really enjoys the benefits of spending time with the cattle as
well. We have always agreed with Pharo Cattle Company’s philosophies
and are excited about being Cooperative Producers. We specialize in easy
fleshing, moderate sized cattle that know how to work for a living. Because
of the drought, we were recently forced to relocate our herd to Nebraska and
have been told that they brought rain with them to their new home! In addition
to being Cooperative Producers, Kathy is also the Office Manager at Pharo Cattle Company. Rod and Kathy
Pelton, phone 719-767-5451.
BA — Bruns Angus
Bruns Angus is located in the sandhills of North Central Nebraska
near Bassett. Bruns Angus is operated by Kirk and Kristi Bruns, along with
our three children Kara, Paige and Ben. Our cow herd is run year around on
native sandhill pastures and wet meadows. We strive to produce cows that
are moderate framed, functional and that are adapted to our low-input
environment. We appreciate the opportunity to work with Pharo Cattle
Company. Visitors are welcome any time. Kirk and Kristi Bruns, phone
402-841-3671.
BSR — Bar S Ranch
The Bar S Ranch is located in Northwest Kansas and is owned by Riley
Shay. I have been helping my parents, Ryan and Diane, with their Black Angus
herd for as long as I can remember. To avoid confusion with my parents' herd,
I branched out to registered Red Angus.
I bought my first Red Angus cows in 2013. My goal is to produce lowinput, moderate framed cows with calving ease and fleshing ability. I am
delighted to work with Pharo Cattle Company and I'm excited for the future.
Please feel free to contact me; I would be happy to talk with you. Riley Shay, phone 785-772-5040 or email
[email protected].

CFL — Agape Farms
Agape Farms is under the stewardship of Woody Thames. We are located
on the Lone Oak Ranch in China Springs, Texas 100 miles due South of Dallas.
Holistic Management and Sustainability are the Key Words around the farm, as
we desire to have the ability to pass it on to future generations. We run Red
Angus and Hereford cattle on pastures that are native mix with Winter and
Summer annuals as well as legumes. We are excited to be a Cooperative Producer
for PCC and take the responsibility seriously of raising quality cattle on minimum
inputs(no grain). If you are ever in our "neck of the woods", give us a call and we
would treasure the opportunity to take a leisurely stroll through the pastures with you. Woody Thames, phone
214-679-7737 or email [email protected]. CTM — McDaniel Farms
The McDaniel Ranch is located on the Northwest Kansas prairie,
northeast of Goodland. We have been raising Red Angus cattle since 1997.
Shortly thereafter, I met Kit Pharo and began to focus my efforts toward raising
the right kind of cattle — self-sufficient, moderately-framed and easy fleshing
cows that produce the same in their calves. Raising cattle that require few
inputs and calves with lower birth weights is far more enjoyable (and logical)
than spending heartache, hours and money accommodating the cows. It is a
pleasure to be working in the environment of Pharo Cattle Company and all of
the other like-minded Cooperative Producers that we appreciate so much. Cody and Tancy McDaniel, phone
785-694-2910 (home) or 785-694-3244 (cell).
D-7 — D Bar 7 Ranch
The D Bar 7 Ranch, owned by Al and Debb De Wit has moved to
Armstrong, Missouri. We are busy running water lines and building paddocks.
We raise Red Angus cattle focusing on building a herd of low input, easy
fleshing, good uddered, slick haired, productive cows with a primary emphasis
on fertility. We feel feel fortunate to be associated with Pharo Cattle Company
and its progressive group of Cooperative Producers. Al and Debb DeWit, phone

parents are David and Ruth, who have managed this land since the 1960's and
continue to help today. I, along with my wife Terri and children, Kaleb, Jared,
Gavin, and Luka hope to continue our heritage for years to come. Our goal is to
be good stewards of the land God has allowed us to use and to leave it in a better
state than when we got here. We farm crops organically and use management
intensive rotational grazing methods to improve the soil. Cattle that can fit our
environment and take full advantage of the existing resources is what we are breeding for. We do all of
this with a forage-only program.
We have had registered Red Angus cattle for 19 years and have been selling grass-finished cattle since
2003. We feel fortunate to be able to work with Pharo Cattle Company in producing low-input, profit-oriented
seedstock. Our operation is located in Southeast Minnesota, in the rolling hills of the Mississippi River Valley.
If you get in the area, feel free to give us a call and/or stop by. Jon and Terri Luhman, phone 651-923-4604.
D-J — David Johnson
The D Bar J is the home of our Black Angus herd of grass efficient cattle.
The beautiful clear Current, Meramec, and Jack’s Fork Rivers’ headwaters surround
our operation. We have a genetic core of three and four frame, easy fleshing,
efficient, and fescue tolerant cows. Producing seedstock that pass on traits which
support low input operations is our goal.
Calving ease, fertility, longevity, udder quality, good hair coats, volume,
and good dispositions are trademarks of our cows. The rigid process of selection for these traits is producing
cattle which can thrive in our tough environment as well as most other environments. Our heat, humidity, and
fescue toxicity demand that these traits are inherent in our PCC herd.
Our family is privileged to be able to work with the PCC group of cooperating producers and PCC
management. Unique opportunities to learn and grow in this organization make this a challenging and
rewarding endeavor. We look forward to growing and improving with Pharo Cattle Company. David and
Pam Johnson, phone 573-729-4388 (home) or 573-247-0164 (cell).

FSR — Flying S Ranch
The Flying S Ranch is nestled in cottonwoods on the Republican River
bottom where the jagged breaks to the north meet the golden plains of Western
Kansas. We pride ourselves on being honest and fair, and thank God for the
opportunity to live on the land and spend much of our time working with livestock.
The ranch was built in 1906 and purchased by my father in 1964. Diane and I
are proud to carry on the tradition of producing only the best cattle and horses.
The Flying S Ranch is home to Ryan and Diane Shay and our children Riley, Kailey Anne, Reid, Rayden, Rhett,
Ronan, Ryder, and Kristine. We are located 2 1/2 miles southwest of St. Francis, Kansas.
We have operated a low input commercial cowherd since 1994, and in 1998 we purchased the best bull
we have ever owned, a Pharo Cattle Company developed bull. Since then we have been buying some of the
best bulls in the Pharo Cattle Company program, upon which we have built our registered herd. We breed for
moderate size, fleshing ability, longevity and maternal traits. Being a low-input operation, our cows graze
native grass in the summer and fall and are wintered on inexpensive corn stalks. They are run year-round with
no protein supplements. Our cows calve on native river bottom grass in March and April with a minimum
amount of harvested forage.
Please give us a call or stop by to see us anytime. Ryan and Diane Shay, phone 785-332-3209.
ICE — Ichthys Cattle Enterprise
Ichthys Cattle Enterprise is under the stewardship of Lanny and Kristin
Greenhalgh (and seven little helpers). We purpose to obey God in all that we do,
even though we often fail. One way we desire to glorify God is through the
production of the right kind of cattle with PCC. We truly think the genetics PCC
offers will help people be more hopeful and realize more profit in their cattle
operations.
ICE headquarters is located near Guide Rock, Nebraska, in rolling hills 6
miles north of the Republican River Valley. Justin Jorgensen and David Ellis
manage the Nebraska cattle. We also have an irrigated ranch at Huntley, WY.
Dale Kostur and Dusty Southworth manage those cattle. We currently lease Black Angus, Red Angus and
Composite cattle from PCC. We also just recently purchased a Hereford herd from David Hall. We have
leased PCC cows since joining them in 2002. It is from these cows that we get our replacement heifers. We
hire Clyde Mattson and Toby Foland to A.I. the cows in early August to top PCC herd sires. We are blessed
with all high-quality people on our cattle team.
Many of our cows have top PCC bulls on both sides of their pedigree. The cows graze native pasture
in the spring and summer months and utilize crop residues and cover crops throughout the fall and winter. We
never feed hay as a normal feeding plan but do keep some around for special situations like calf weaning, A.I.,
etc. These cows can look rough during the winter but most will bounce back and be as fat as ticks in the
summer. Every year I am amazed at what these cattle can go through and still breed back. Those that don't
breed back, of course, are sold, as well as those with bad udders. You will NOT find pampered cattle on our
ranch; we can't afford it — and you don't want it in a seedstock producer. Calving is targeted for May/June.
We are pleased to visit with you about PCC and can show you the cattle if you would like. Lanny and Kristin
Greenhalgh, phone 402-984-6375 or email [email protected].

KOM — KOMA Cattle Company
KOMA Cattle Company selects for easy fleshing, low maintenance cows with
functional udders and temperament. Bulls with depth, muscle and moderate birth
weights make calving in April easy.
Grazing year round, we have not fed any hay the last four winters, supplementing only pre-calving. We really notice that our cows were spread out grazing even
when the temperatures were hot and humid this summer. They use natural cover and
body fat to withstand winter stress.
Our goal is to raise moderate framed cattle, large enough to survive the
elements, yet small enough to reproduce in adverse conditions.
Good testicular development, thick
muscling, good udders and maternal instincts and easy fleshing ability are most important to our operation.
Please contact Jim Madsen, phone 785-324-1247 or email [email protected] or Katrin Kolder,
DVM, phone 785-324-2540 or email [email protected] for more information.
LCC — Lost Creek Cattle
Lost Creek Cattle Company is located in Southwest North Dakota.
Sean, Kat and daughter Charlee Weinert are fifth generation ranchers, raising
Black Angus cattle on their centennial family ranch. We are striving for a
herd of low-input cattle with excellent maternal traits, longevity and easy
fleshing ability. These are the qualities that work hard for us and we believe
those traits can make a difference in your herd also. We are so proud to be a
part of PCC; they are always challenging us to find a better way to do our job.
We would enjoy visiting with you at the ranch if you are in the area. Sean
and Kat Weinert, phone 701-928-0499 or email [email protected].
LLL — Triple L Angus
Garth and Joni Lloyd, along with their 4 children, operate Triple L Red
Angus Farms in Northeast Missouri. The challenges we face are common to
many ranches. In Northeast Missouri; tall fescue is among our biggest challenges.
We realized a long time ago that the fescue is here to stay so we had better
develop cattle and management practices to eliminate, or at least lessen, fescue’s
impact on herd health and cattle development. In 2003 we purchased our first
Red Angus bull, “PCC Shortcut”. In 2004, we began culling every cow that wasn’t able to wean a calf every
year on schedule. In 2007, we began planned grazing. The impact of just these three tools has been
enormous. The cattle we raise today are fescue adapted, healthier and more productive than we ever might
have imagined. That translates into greater enjoyment for everyone and a much better bottom line. We
currently schedule around six farm tours per year. Give us a call if you are ever in the area. We’d love to
meet you. Garth and Joni Lloyd, phone 660-945-3918, or e-mail [email protected].

N-K — N-K Land and Cattle
N-K Land & Cattle is located in northeast Kansas along the KansasNebraska border. Phil and Linda started the operation in 1970 with Black
Angus cattle. The operation uses low stress handling of livestock with a
holistic health program for all of the grass-fed species. The ranch goal: To
raise and sell premium grass-fed animals while lowering inputs and always
being good stewards of God's land. PCC has a valuable network of people
that have stretched us to be more accountable toward those challenges. By
adding Red Angus cattle, Katahdin sheep, and meat goats to the operation we
are on a new level of learning. Our sons and their families are the most important part of this operation. Stop
by for a pasture walk anytime. Phil and Linda Wertenberger, phone 785-284-3258 (home) or 785-285-0079

OLC — Ohio Land & Cattle
Ohio Land and Cattle is comprised of 6000 acres of pastures, lakes,
ponds and forest. Five hundred Black Angus breeding cows produce the calf
crop. The herd sires we use are limited to the very top PCC bulls or semen
from the PCC Sire Directory. The cattle thrive and produce on no inputs
except minerals. PCC customers are welcome to visit anytime.
It is our privilege to be associated with Pharo Cattle Company. James
Coffelt, phone 330-328-4470 or email [email protected].
PCC — Pharo Cattle Company
The “PCC” prefix (by itself) is used to identify bulls
produced by cows owned by Kit and Deanna or Tyson and
Sky Pharo. Some of these cows are located on our home
ranch in Eastern Colorado, while others are located in
Cooperator Herds. You will see the PCC prefix (by itself)
on Angus, Red Angus and Composite bulls. More and
more of the PCC Angus and Red Angus bulls are being produced by Tyson and Sky. You can contact
us by calling 1-800-311-0995. We would love to give you a personal tour of our ranch and our cattle.

P-L — Landrigan Livestock
The Landrigans reside on the south edge of the rolling Sandhills in central
Nebraska, near Broken Bow. This has been a great place to raise our children as
well as cattle.
We require our cattle to calve annually in a least-cost program. We strive
to raise functional, well-balanced cattle, using the natural pressures of weather,
winter grazing, and the fundamentals of the PCC program. We focus our breeding
efforts on hardy, easy-keeping, fertile cattle with a high degree of calving ease.
The composite cattle are deep ribbed, large capacity cattle that stay in good flesh
while grazing winter pasture or crop residue. We raise Black and Red Angus cattle in addition to Composites.
The ability to thrive in a least cost environment is also required for the registered cattle, and the Composites
have created a hard act to follow. Our philosophy of raising cattle parallels that of PCC, and we are pleased to
be Cooperative Producers. Paul & Janet Landrigan, phone 308-643-2505.
R2R — R2 Ranch
R2 is operated by Richard Luciano. We have been raising registered Red Brangus
since 1992 and Red Angus since 1997. We have two beautiful ranches, one in Fischer,
Texas, and the other in Yancey, Texas. The Toussaint family helps us in Fischer and the
Camachos help in Yancey. Texas weather is famous for its variability. Some years the
cows get all they can eat with few external inputs, and some years it is a distinct challenge
keeping them in shape. All of our bulls in this sale were born in an exceptional drought.
Kit said we were too hard on the cows and calves, and maybe he was right.
Buying the wrong bull (not a PCC bull), a bull whose maintenance energy EPD peaked at 23, and some
of the right heifers (from the late Roy Beeby), taught me quickly that some animals can make it on what the
land has and some need a feed bag. Multiple droughts have enabled us to cull down to a core herd of about
150 low-maintenance, fertile cows. The wild dispositions are gone, even in the Red Brangus. The bad
udders are gone. Some of our cows are still a little too big, but now we have a destination for our herd
defined by the Pharo philosophies.
I live in Austin, Texas, with my wife, Margaret Bennett, and our two daughters, Susanna and Elizabeth.
I appreciate the faith that Kit has put in me and my cattle. I am enjoying working with a great group of fun
and like-minded cooperators. Richard Luciano, 512-484-5522 or Sara Toussaint-Mesa, 830-481-4043.
REI — Reinart’s Prairie Reds
Reinart’s Prairie Reds is located seven miles north of Glidden in West
Central Iowa, where I raise Red Angus, Angus and Composite cattle. Having
been fortunate enough to run a core group of Pharo Cattle Company’s females
(cows and heifers) because of the drought, I was able to obtain female progeny
from this group. Being a holistic grazier, I find the addition of these females to
my already adapted herd will enhance my no-grain, strictly grass, limited hay,
seedstock and organic grass finished beef enterprise.
I enjoy working with someone with the same philosophies and having
access to his genetics. I look forward to producing seedstock as a cooperator with Pharo Cattle Company.

SCC — Streamline Cattle Company
Streamline Cattle Company is located south of Stratton, Colorado,
on the eastern plains. It is owned and operated by Curt and Katina Isenbart.
We have been raising low-input cattle for over ten years. We raise both
Red and Black Angus as well as commercial cattle. Although we have only
been Cooperative Producers for a short time, we have been using PCC
genetics for nearly as long as we have been in business. We found it
essential to use these genetics and philosophies to make our ranching
operation more profitable and enjoyable. Feel free to give me a call. Curt
Isenbart, phone 719-342-0423.
SHS — SHS Ranch
SHS Ranch is owned by Cody Smith, Kirk Jackson and his
wife Cherri. The operation is comprised of two ranches — one in
Hillsboro, Texas (about 25 miles north of Waco) and a second
location in Burleson, Texas (just south of Ft. Worth). The SHS
operation is managed by Ian Gerrish. Ian is the son of renowned
grazing guru Jim Gerrish. Ian spent most of the past decade
building grazing infrastructure on several large ranches around the
country and now uses his extensive grazing background to grow
low-input beef. Ian incorporates Ultra High Density grazing with some of the more traditional MiG formats
to grow more pounds per acre and maximize profits. SHS Ranch is honored to be a Cooperative Producer for
PCC and takes the responsibility seriously of raising quality cattle on minimum inputs (no grain). If you are
ever in the Central Texas area, please give us a call or send us an email. Cody Smith, phone 402-617-9401 or

SSCC — Seven Spades Cattle Company
Welcome to Seven Spades Cattle Company, owned and operated by Dave
and Donna Gwyn. We are located south of Stratton in East Central Colorado.
Raising low-input, low-maintenance cattle with adaptability has put profit and
enjoyment back into our ranching business. Our involvement with Pharo Cattle
Company gave us the opportunity to associate with like-minded people.
Evidence as to what these kind of cattle can do has made our commitment
easy. We are still breeding low birth weight, easy fleshing, adaptable cattle with good dispositions. Using
bulls that produce these cattle has enabled us to keep a higher percentage of replacement heifers, growing our
herd faster than we thought possible. We feel some of the most important traits we are selecting for have no
EPDs, including 365-day calving intervals, ability to rough it on their own, disease and parasite resistance (we
have not treated for parasites since 1996), calf vigor, and maternal instincts.
We would like to thank the many customers who have purchased SSCC bulls in the past and are
looking forward to meeting new customers in the future. Please feel free to call and visit anytime. Dave and
Donna Gwyn, phone 719-348-5437.
TF — Toby Foland
I live in Wheatland, Wyoming, and maintain a herd of efficient, moderatesized Angus and Composite cows. I have been breeding these cows to Angus,
Tarentaise and Composite bulls that were purchased from Pharo Cattle Company
for many years. My goal is to produce efficient, easy fleshing, good-natured
Composite cattle that optimize hybrid vigor and profitability. Calving in May
and June has greatly reduced my input costs while shortening my calving season.
As a commercial producer I have always concentrated on maternal traits,
producing the most efficient and profitable herd of momma cows I can. The bull
calves produced by these cows are a by-product bonus, and I am glad to be able to market them through Pharo
Cattle Company’s cooperative program. Toby Foland, phone 307-331-1453.
WFF — Walker Family Farm
Weston and Beth Walker own and operate Walker Family Farms, a multi-species
grass-based farm located in Southwest Missouri near Dadeville, approximately one
hour northwest of Springfield. Walker Family Farms focuses on developing “do-it-onforage” animals that are adapted to their environment, which includes temperature
extremes, high humidity and exposure to endophyte-infected fescue. The WFF operation
is comprised of registered Red Angus cattle, commercial hair sheep, and Pasture-raised
Heritage Berkshire pork.
Since the beginning of the Walkers' marriage and partnership in 2003, they
realized the need for a low-input operation utilizing animals that were hardy and selfsufficient. While researching grass-based cattle genetics, they came across Kit Pharo and Pharo Cattle
Company. The concepts and practices of the PCC program resonated with their own desires and goals. The
PCC philosophies are applied to all species in the operation. Through a rigorous selection process and low
inputs, the goal is to produce replacement animals that are able to perform in Fescue Country and thus be able
to go anywhere in the country and be efficient and economic meat producers. Farm tours and phone calls are
welcomed. Weston and Beth Walker, phone 417-777-0599.

Cowboy’s Prayer
By Badger Clark
Oh Lord, I’ve never lived where churches grow.
I love creation better as it stood
That day You finished it so long ago
And looked upon your work and called it good.
Let me be easy on the man that’s down;
Let me be square and generous with all.
I’m careless sometimes Lord, when I’m in town,
But never let ‘em say I’m mean or small.
I know that others find you in the light
That’s sifted down through tinted window panes,
And yet I seem to feel You near tonight
In this dim, quiet starlight on the plains.
Make me as big and open as the plains,
As honest as the hoss between my knees,
Clean as the wind that blows behind the rains;
Free as a hawk that circles down the breeze.
I thank you, Lord, that I am placed so well,
That you have made my freedom so complete;
That I’m no slave of whistle, clock or bell,
Nor weak-eyed prisoner of wall and street.
Forgive me, Lord, if sometimes I forget.
You know about the reasons that are hid.
You understand the things that gall and fret;
You know me better than my mother did.
Just let me live my life as I’ve begun
And give me work that’s open to the sky.
Make me a pardner of the wind and sun,
And I won’t ask a life that’s soft or high.
Just keep an eye on all that’s done and said
And right me, sometimes, when I turn aside,
And guide me on the long, dim trail ahead
That stretches upward toward the Great Divide.
