Welcome again to the event we call Rising Stars.We are so excited to again have this sale at ourplace. Last year the video auction went over great. Everyone in attendance really liked the format andwe have decided that we won’t go back to bringingthe live animals into a ring anytime soon. All the cattle offered for sale will be available for your inspection the day of the sale.

The only way I know how to have a sale is tooffer your best and I have done just that. Thisgroup of cattle I think is easily the best group ineach division we have put together.

A special thank you to all our friends in the cattle business and we really look forward to ournew friends yet to meet. Call me or anyone associated with the sale with any questions. Seeyou at the ranch on the 12th of December.- Chad Holtkamp

This division of bred heifers is a great mix of Angus, Simmental, andMaine-Anjou influenced genetics. We talk about maternal females andeach and everyone of these females in this division are backed by

proven genetics for the production of value added cattle. There are no pedigrees that you have to question whether or not they will milk or not. Allof these heifers are backed by proven sires and great cow families. We makeour living from our cows, purchase these females with confidence as they willwork for you also.

I like talking about success stories and this one ties it all together.MCLAUGHLIN CATTLE came to Rising Star I and purchased our high selling bred heifer (Fancy) for $10,900. Fancy’s first two natural calves paidback her initial investment. McLaughlin Cattle also enjoyed the ultimatethrill of witnessing Fancy’s offspring being named 2010 Reserve ChampionFoundation Simmental Heifer at the National Jr. Show and 5th Overall Heiferat the 2010 Iowa State Fair. We all want to make money on the cows butpride of ownership is pretty darn cool too!

AI: 6.10.10 DREAM ON PE: NONEWhat a place to start the Rising Star sale. We want to sell ourbest and when we looked into the bred heifer pen, Sweetnessstood out as the obvious choice to lead this event off. Dacotasuccessfully showed Sweetness. She’s a beautiful baldy with the caliber to compare to some of the top in the nation.Sweetness is a direct daughter of Big E, a past Rising Star highlight now owned with Grandstaff Cattle and Myers Cattleboth of Missouri. She is a maternal sib to Lil E, the great donorfor Craig Conrad. But most interesting she’s a full sib to Center of Attention, the promotional bull that sold in last yearsRising Star sale to Kirk Rodgers and Scott Snyder. This matingis for real and the cattle are good. Not many chances are offered to acquire this kind of bred heifer.Just think what this Dream On calf could be worth…interesting isn’t it?

AI: 5.10.10 DREAM ON, PE: NONEOne of our all time great ones. Here’s her story. UndefeatedFoundation Simmental heifer in 2005. Fourth overall at theIowa Beef Expo. Star was the lead bred heifer and sale highlight in the Throgmartin Run For the Roses sale, held atthe Hilton Garden Inn in November 2005. She sold for $14,500to Tim Heckman and Jeff O’Leary. Her first calf sold for $7500and then a flush sold at the Frozen Gold for $5000 in 2006.Several other embryos have sold out of her. We sold 3 HeatWave embryos in our Rising Star I sale to Rich Yates, IL for$800 each and Rich raised a steer we sold for him in our 2009pasture sale for $9500. A year ago, Tim Heckman offered us hishalf of Star and we jumped at the opportunity. Jeff and Iflushed her last fall and she was very successful. We’ve put inseveral embryos and we’re expecting some great results in2011. Jeff would like to decrease his number of partnershipcattle so we decided to disperse our partnership and sell her inher entirety. Star has the coolest disposition and is in the prime of herproduction. She’s mated to Dream On for immediate return.

Don’t think twice on this opportunity. O’Learys have been greatpartners and its been a great ride!

She is the mother of Immortal,Walks On Water, and Bella. We have full sibs to these comingthis spring and I don’t care if it’s a bull or heifer. Not manychances to own great genetics. Don’t wait around thinkingthat a chance will come later…Act Now!

Rising Stars is definitely known for the frozen genetics. That is the mostcommonly asked question throughout the year is what’s going to be selling as far as the embryos. Our answer is simply that we will be

offering the best we have and our friends have.There is no faster way to move forward in your breeding program than by

purchasing embryo’s. The opportunity is here to get some embryos out the mostproven cows in the industry. Not every day do we offer direct genetics to thesecows. Take your time and think of the possibilities that you could do with theoffspring of these mating’s. Also, pride in ownership is a great thing.

All these embryos sell with the guarantee of 1 pregancy per 3 egg package. Ifa pregnancy is not achieved, the buyer will be entitled to 1 more embryo of thatsame mating or comparable mating.

Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer. Each lot will have embryo location sale day.
