2007 SR.
Reserve Champion
Needless to say, the friends that thought we were crazy last year to haul a
SR bull to Tunica, thought we had lost our minds when we told them we were
going to enter Crown Prince again, this time almost eight! We decided the
worst that could happen is he would be beaten by a younger bull, and sure
enough, Thunder Valley had some tremendous young bulls that took Grand
Champion, and Reserve Grand Champion. We can live with that.
We did
however, win our class, and Crown Prince, moving a littler slower down the
aisle this year, was SR. Reserve Champion! Several people told us they
were glad we brought him because he actually looked better in person!

National Beefmaster Bull

Several people
have told us they think Advantage is one of the most exciting young bulls in the
breed today! He has excellent bone, testicular development, great spring of
rib and natural expression of muscle. I think you'll appreciate the strength
of his top line and his overall balance. We expect
Advantage
to become one of the
premier polled bulls of our breed. His dam, Homestead's Shady Lady (293 cow
family) has been a tremendous donor for us, and we've retained three full
sisters in the herd.
We named him Advantage,
because we think he'll AD whatever you need to your herd! There are a number
of clean polled Black Beefmaster Bulls, but we've all been waiting for a RED
POLLED bull of this quality. We pulled him out of the bull pasture three
months before the futurity. He's never been halter broke, but after a week
he was gentle enough in a pen to be brushed by hand.
Wild Oaks is flushing
our top donors to this young bull, and his calves are extremely consistent
in phenotype. You can expect strong top lines, deep muscle, great
neck extension and smooth shoulders on his calves. He's throwing red
calves out of red cows, and black calves out of black cows. It doesn't
get any better than that!
At Wild Oaks, we believe truly
believe that Beefmaster cattle are the ultimate breed for commercial cattlemen.
Historically high pricing of Beefmaster semen has limited the access of commercial
breeder to the breed's top bulls. The same pricing has assured those bulls
were only put on the tops cows. We used Advantage straight across our herd,
and we encourage you to do the same!
To show our commitment in promoting
the breed, we are offering semen out of Advantage at the commercial rate of
$25 per straw.
Here's some of his calves, all polled, we think he
works! You be the judge!

Last June we went to the Cottage Farm
Southern Tradition XI sale specifically to purchase this bull. At 13 months,
he showed the structural traits we were looking for, in a very strong
genetic package. Fortunately others that day were looking for old bulls.
We've patiently developed this young bull while breeding him to the cream of
our heifer crop, and managed to get one live cover donor flush out of Piggy
Too. It's taken us four years to find a bull with the inner stifle thickness
this young bull shows. We think you'll agree this young bull is showing all
the attributes of a tremendous herd sire. He has a flawless top line,
beautiful shoulders and a tight sheath structure. Sugar Dadee is a genetic
sibling to the great Sugar Britches, whom we've flushed to. We're confident
in the quality of calves this young bull is going to bring to the breed.
Look for him on display at the CSBBA
Sale and Convention May 7th, in Shawnee, OK. When we had him on display in
San Antonio at the National Convention Sale, several people told us he was
the best bull in the barn!
Semen $100 per straw, no minimums

After having a tremendous
Ace in the Hole bull calf, we thought this young cow deserved a try as
a donor. A flush mate to my favorite donor, 13/5 Kathryn Hepburn, Sophie was
Jim William's second favorite heifer in the Cream of the Crop Heifer
futurity. Last fall she was flushed to Cottage Farm's Sugar Britches (Captain
Sugar x Oasis). A light dose of FSH yielded 42 embryos, 32 transferable.
We've got a dozen calves on the ground, here's a few that will step up any
program . .

At Wild Oaks our show heifers
start at $1000 and up, depending on breeding and quality. They
are out of tremendous cows and represent the cutting edge genetics in the
breed, with a little special something. Once their show career is over, they
progeny will be highly marketable, not because of their success on the show
circuit, but because they are bred to be the top females in the breed. Most
would be donors in their own right. We have a very aggressive flush
schedule, and have calves born every two months. We have the heifer you're
looking for. Call for available ages.

I just can't express what an
impact this we think
Vanity Fair
is going to make to the Wild Oaks Farms
program and the Beefmaster breed, but here's her natural Soul Man calf, at
four months to give you an idea. We think
Vanity Fair
is the epitome of what a Beefmaster cow should
be, and I think you'll agree she is one of the most beautiful donors in the
Beefmaster breed.
Cottage Farms sold three
Vanity Fair
heifers for a total of $26,000 at their
Production Sale in July. Paul Hill purchased a black bred heifer, Ted
Cain an open red heifer, and Davin Vaughn & Paul Castleman a black
open heifer. We wish them all tremendous luck with females that we think
will be trend setters for the Beefmaster
Breed!
Toby and I especially want to
thank Cottage Farms for using such a tremendous cow for their lead sale
offering. We realize what a sacrifice it is to lose a female of this quality
from the herd.

Toby and Cherryl Forte strive for genetic excellence
with their purebred Beefmaster operation.
Toby and Cheryl Forte raise top quality Beefmaster
cattle on their 600 acre spread, Wild Oaks Farm, near Mulberry, Ark.
Four years ago they decided to convert their commercial herd to a
seedstock Beefmaster program. They chose the breed primarily for the
productivity and easy handling of the females.

Polled, Cottage Farms Herd Sire for Sale
CF 134,
Time Bandit 1/3
$4,500.00 (SOLD)
(Jackpot x Vanna
II)
DOB: 9/3/07
We purchased this
strong young herd sire two years ago at the Cottage Farms sale, and have
used him on several sets of cattle. Because of our active embryo program, we
are simply not using him to his full advantage and have decided to
sell him. We've recently featured him in our ad in Beefmaster Cattleman.
His half sister, Vanity Fair, our lead donor, is out of Vanna II also. We
know this young bull will contribute great volume, bone and spring of rib to
any herd! Polled and Black is just a bonus!
