COW OF THE WEEK

MITTAG
COW OF THE WEEK
 
This week we feature a newer addition to Mittag Show Cattle
 that we feel with certainly make an impact in our herd.
#666 is a Meyer 734 X Strictly Business.
We purchased this female from the Incredible Female Sale in Dec 2013.
 
When we purchased this beautiful Meyer 734 female she was bred to
female sexed "A Step Up".
We have retained that female and she is a standout in our replacement
heifer pen!
We then bred 666 to Monopoly and I'm sure you will agree
that was a good move when you see her
Monopoly steer in the 2015 Showman's Choice Sale!

This one is Super Stout and Fuzzy!

COW OF THE WEEK

MITTAG
COW OF THE WEEK
 
This week for Cow Of The Week,
 we feature another member of a very popular bloodline
 at Mittag Show Cattle.
We have already featured 2 of her sisters...
 
"Dalia"... Our Alias Donor that is the mother of
 the Champion Steer at Aksarben
and
"Appie"...Our Yellow Alias cow that is the mother of the
 High Selling steer in last year's sale
 
This is #5 she is a Maternal sister to Dalia and Appie
 sired by Monopoly Money
 
 
Her first calf sired by I-80
was a sale attraction at the
2014 Showman's Choice
since she was the 4th Overall Prospect Heifer at the Iowa State Fair.
She was purchased by the Benshoof Family.

We were so impressed, that we bred #5 back to I-80
and we got lucky again...
She has another heifer that reminds us a lot of this one!

COW OF THE WEEK
 
This week we feature a cow that seems to have a calf in the sale every year.
TAG #16
Who Made Who X Angus
 
We don't have a full picture of #16 , but here she is with
her steer that is pictured below.
 
This Monopoly son of  #16 went on to win over 12 Championships
in 2013 for the Rusk family of Kansas


This is another Monopoly son of #16 that was
 very successfully shown by Tyler Means of Iowa.

Last year #16 had a Monopoly heifer that we decided to keep as a
replacement heifer.

This year #16 may have out did herself, she has a Man Among Boys
heifer that WILL BE a major market heifer contender!

COW OF THE WEEK

COW OF THE WEEK
This week's Cow Of The Week feature is
"Snookie.
 
Snookie was purchased from Holtkamp Cattle
and has been a great addition to our herd.
 
 
Snookie's first calf proved that she was going to be a feature cow
for Mittag Show Cattle.  Her heifer calf sired by American Pride,
sold in the Showman's Choice Sale
 to Jeremy Clark, Arkansas and he resold her to the Sigmon Family of Arkansas.
She went on to be an 18 time Champion Foundation Simmental.
 

Snookie's second calf was a Monopoly heifer and she sold
in the 2014 Showman's Choice Sale to Nolan Staley.




Snookie is again bred to Monopoly and due soon!
 
 

I-80 X A Step Up

This stand out calf is an I-80 X A Step Up

COW OF THE WEEK

MITTAG
"COW OF THE WEEK"
This week's feature Cow Of The Week is
"APPIE"
As a calf, we nicknamed her Appie due to her Apricot color
and the name stuck.
 
Alias X Simmental/Angus
"Appie" is a full sister to our favorite donor cow "Dalia",
who is the mother of Vada Vickland's
2014 Grand Champion Steer at Aksarben.
 
Appie's first calf was sired by Jesse James and was internet senasation
and was featured on many of Lautner's ads for Jesse James. 
 
 
Her 2nd calf was a very popular steer last fall
and was the High Selling Steer in The 2014
Showman's Choice Sale, selling to
the Otis family from Montana.
 
 
And for her 3rd calf...she just this morning had what we think
may be her best one yet...A SMOKIE I-80 HEIFER!
She will be an attraction to the 2015 Showman's Choice Sale!
